Chapter 310: 218: The Unavoidable Name_3
The more than 86,000 volunteers were like the primitive humans who first picked up a wooden stick to fight against a beast in ancient times.
And also like the first humans who conquered their fear and rushed to the edge of a blazing forest to retrieve a flaming stick.
With the constant efforts of Harrison Clark, humanity finally took their first step out of the Solar System 2500 years ago, but it was also their last step.
At the beginning of 2500, a medium-sized unmanned spacecraft heading in another direction disappeared without a trace at a position two light-years away from the Solar System.
The Solar System Barrier had appeared again without warning.
Over the next year, seven more aircraft and detectors suffered the same fate.
The leaders of various countries realized the seriousness of the situation.
Mankind was locked in by an unknown civilization.
The concerns of Master Harrison Clark and his baffling actions in the past were quickly answered.
The story background of the movie “Compound Eye Invaders,” which caused his reputation to decline in his last film, turned out to be true.
It was a warning he had left for humanity 500 years ago.
We may not have heeded his warning but we tried. Too bad we didn’t succeed completely.
The global political system began to undergo rapid and silent changes, and the World Government began to emerge.
The whole process seemed familiar, but humanity had another hope.
Summit 002 had already left the gravitational pull of the sun, halfway through its journey, and was about to enter the gravitational range of Proxima
Centauri.
If all goes well, even if this civilization perishes, the seeds at Proxima Centauri can still take root and sprout, continuing our hope.
But bad news came quickly and suddenly.
In 2502, as Summit 002 just entered Proxima Centauri’s gravitational range, it collided with a fist-sized, super-heavy object with no photonic or electromagnetic effects. The repulsive magnetic field shield was useless, and the spacecraft was instantaneously perforated.
The terrifying energy leakage and radiation fluctuations shattered Summit 002 in an instant.
Tens of thousands of people in various countries’ space administrations witnessed this scene firsthand.
All members of the vanguard team perished.
Hope was extinguished.
A deafening silence filled the space administrations.
Scientists cried out in anguish, cursing the heartless universe.
The leaders of the world at that time also felt a sense of gloom, deeply realizing that interstellar travel was too difficult and the unknowns in the universe were too numerous.
Even if they had amazingly good luck and didn’t encounter a single gamma-ray sweep in half of the journey, frail and helpless humans in the universe could be dealt crushing blows by even the smallest accidents.
Challenges of stepping out of the Solar System far surpassed any previous struggle human beings had had against nature.
The darkest depths of outer space seemed calm, but countless dangers lurked beneath the surface.
We were ultimately defeated.
Humanity, locked in by an unknown force, was once again forced to struggle on the brink of extinction.
The course of events that followed was almost identical to the previous timeline, but with some differences.
In the cold winter of 2519, S Bacteria quietly arrived as scheduled and began to spread silently.
In the previous month, its development was no different from the last outbreak, evolving rapidly and exhibiting unprecedented latency and infectiousness.
But in the spring of 2520, Willian, a young scholar at the Summit Research Institute, discovered the pathogen ahead of time.
He picked up the whistle, sounding a loud alarm that echoed through the sky. In early 2520, Willian burst into the United Nations conference room and presented a complete pathological conjecture report to the world leaders who were holding their final consultations to finalize the framework of the World Government.
The important information hidden in the Madman’s Conjectures Collection by Harrison Clark was activated on January 1, 2520, and appeared before the scholars of the Summit Research Institute and many scholars around the world who were reading the historical masterpiece.
Summit Research Institute sent up the report.
Although the leaders of various countries were skeptical, this time they chose to err on the side of caution and began to raise their guards comprehensively.
Soon afterward, medical staff and volunteer scholars from all over the world sprang into action, frantically searching for traces of S Bacteria, with Willian, tirelessly traveling around the world, being the first to find it.
Willian quickly completed the analysis of the protein structure left by Harrison Clark and deduced the complete pathological process and evolutionary trend of S Bacteria, which he included in his report.
In the conference room, the leaders suspended their consultations, read the report, and then humanity was immediately mobilized.
The war began.
The Earth went into global self-quarantine.
The entire Solar System went into self-quarantine.
Based on the protein structure left by Harrison Clark, Summit Research
Institute developed the first-generation vaccine.
Countless factories were mobilized.
Atomic tuning devices, newly developed not long ago, went into full force.
Within five years, the first-generation vaccine was popularized throughout human civilization.
Although the first-generation vaccine, derived from the protein structure written by Harrison Clark 500 years ago, could not completely prevent the highly mutable S Bacteria from entering the human body, it significantly increased the patient’s self-healing rate and reduced the incidence of symptoms and mortality rate. At the same time, it made the symptoms during the incubation period more obvious and less hidden.
Meanwhile, Willian continued to try various methods in his P7 Laboratory, aggressively promoting the active evolution of S Bacteria. In 2528, he obtained the Ultimate Poison King strain of S Bacteria, developed the second-generation ultimate vaccine, and verified its efficacy in clinical trials.
In 2529, after losing about 800 million people, humanity completely eradicated the threat of S Bacteria.
At this point, S Bacteria, which had only gone through autonomous evolution in the external environment, had only reached its third generation, still far from becoming the Ultimate Poison King.
Although S Bacteria had been destined to coexist with the world since its advent, its threat to humanity vanished.
After a long and difficult struggle of nine years, humanity’s efforts for unification were temporarily shelved, and they suffered considerable losses. Technological and productive forces stagnated, but in the end, they persevered, and the price they paid was much smaller than the previous timeline.
Harrison Clark succeeded in rendering the S Bacteria of the invaders “useless”.
But a new problem arose.
The budding World Government ultimately failed to materialize and died before it could come to fruition..
