Chapter 320 - 222: You Naughty Child_3
“Hmm.”
The two fell silent, not wanting to touch that old wound.
“By the way, since Martha Owen is your childhood friend, why haven’t you two been in contact for seven or eight years?”
Harrison Clark changed the subject and asked.
Nora Camp shookher head slightly, “You were just an ordinary soldier before, so you didn’t have a complete understanding of the entire operation system of the Freedom Front. Let me explain it to you.”
“Alright, I’m listening.”
After listening to Nora Camp’s description, Harrison Clark realized that the situation was not simple.
Human adaptability really exceeded imagination.
No matter what situation they faced, humans could always spontaneously adjust their survival mode and social form, always finding a way to exist that may not be perfect but is effective for the current internal and external environment.
Born in the era of war, facing the vast and boundless universe, people were as fleeting as ephemeral insects.
Under the shadow of the looming threat of radium, resilient humans managed to survive and struggle through fragmentation and integration, more stubborn than rats, stronger than cockroaches, more persistent than ants, and more yearning for a better future than dolphins.
The current Freedom Front Alliance is divided into three core systems: military, industrial, and scientific.
The military system goes without saying, composed of millions of vertical groups that are loose in peacetime and quickly integrated in wartime.
The industrial system encompasses all aspects, such as food, medical, machinery, mining, energy, etc. The function of the industry is naturally production and manufacturing, which also includes military industry.
In addition to the millions of vertical group systems, there are tens of millions of industrial bases, forming a huge and highly efficient material production mechanism for humans.
Science is composed of more than 70 research institutes, with the largest scale exceeding 40 million people and the smallest scale approaching 600,000 people.
The most famous and most important of these is the Titan Research Institute, established by the martyrs of the Summit Research Institute, with nearly 10 million people.
The threat of radium is ubiquitous, and the scientific research institutes are too important, making them a must-fight battleground for both sides.
Destroying an important research institute could achieve almost the same results as destroying thousands of vertical groups.
Therefore, for their own protection, numerous research institutes have deeply hidden themselves, possibly hidden within a vertical team’s battleship, underground on a planet, or quietly hidden in the shadowy side of a remote planet or satellite away from Earth, or even within a space station deep in space, almost touching the Invader Barrier.
The major research institutes will pool their wisdom and open their knowledge to all, but they almost never interact with outsiders.
Their secrecy work is very strict.
The research institute and the guerrilla team systems are almost completely isolated and separated, which is also the result of the increasingly secretive and hidden new model developed by the historical Summit Research Institute.
During the nearly 400 years of human civil war, the Summit Research Institute has been maintaining neutrality and gradually fading its presence, only to turn the tide at the last moment.
This proved that the independence of research institutions is an effective solution.
Today, the Titan Research Institute, as the most advanced and responsible organization, has a much higher level of secrecy than ordinary research institutes.
Although the Titan Institute is named after the planet Titan and was once located on Titan, it is now continuously outputting important technologies and knowledge to humans. However, even the high-ranking members of the Freedom Vertical Team do not know the whereabouts of this research institute.
When Nora Camp delivered the chip last time, she did not even meet a real member of the Titan Institute, and could only rely on professional secrecy personnel for transfers.
Since Martha Owen completed her PhD at the age of sixteen and was selected to join the Titan Institute seven or eight years ago, she has never stepped out of it again, and her contact with the outside world has been even more cautious. That’s why the two lost contact so infrequently.
In addition, the scientific training system under this special regime has undergone another change.
Although knowledge is fully open, due to the constant wars, humans’ demands for science have become faster in processing. Except for the gifted children and teenagers who are selected to join the research institutes and actively participate in comprehensive scientific literacy training, the other ordinary intelligent humans are more focused on learning practical operations and do not value the principles.
Most ordinary people choose to become technicians rather than scholars so they can quickly take shape, quickly get involved in work, and quickly bring their skills to bear.
For example, the majority of non-combat personnel in the Giant Wave Vertical Team Base are mostly technicians.
Of course, if people want to learn, they can. There is still a comprehensive training system, but it doesn’t have much practical significance and can only be pursued as a hobby.
What Harrison Clark is studying now is the teaching material of researchers in the vertical depth of the scientific field, so Nora Camp is puzzled and thinks he is wasting his time.
After listening, Harrison Clark nodded, “So that’s how it is. It hasn’t been easy for Martha Owen.”
“Hmm.”
“I just don’t know if her hair has turned completely white this time.”
“Huh?”
“Never mind, never mind, you go ahead, I’ll continue reading.
Harrison Clark turned his gaze back to the textbook, not saying anything more. Nora Camp couldn’t persuade him, so she didn’t bother arguing and quietly left.
After Nora Camp left, Harrison Clark sighed twice in a row.
Double bad news!
The first one.
Last time, he enjoyed having a group of scholars follow him to help him sort out the intelligence work of the 21st century.
But now, all the research institutes are hiding deeper than burrow-digging rabbits. How can he find people?
Will Lion and the others do the historical work for him?
But what if they catch the wrong focus and the knowledge he brings back has a counterproductive effect?
The second one.
He still has the ultra-high-frequency short sound to activate the Particle-interference Bomb in his head. He wants to turn it into a deadly weapon through research institutes and have the invaders drink a pot.
Such a significant plan is also stuck.
Unable to contact the research institute, he can’t release the goods in his head, and he can’t just casually throw it into the Quantum Social Network like before.
What if the Radium catches it first?
Wouldn’t that be disastrous?
Harrison Clark secretly resolved to find a way to connect with the Titan Institute no matter how difficult it might be.
The feeling of not being able to take the initiative and only waiting passively was terrible, but he had no choice.
I’ll study first.
Although he doesn’t like it deep down, he should believe in the potential of his Galactic Human self and gain the title of a super genius, so they might be attracted to come to him?
Study, charge!
He embarked on a difficult journey that began in kindergarten!
Unknowingly, time went by, and it was the 23rd day Harrison Clark had been in the incubator.
He was eighteen years old now!
