Chapter 535: 351: Triple Philosophy for the Star
Harrison shrugged, “It’s not that I’m stingy, but the information I obtained in other areas is too complex, and I can’t capture much using a brainwave capture device. This high-frequency short sound is the only thing I can offer because it’s the simplest.”
“I need to go to the Superbrain Core of Star to conduct a small project, success of which might allow me to accurately extract the vague information from my memory.”
“But my small request was righteously refused by some people. It’s not their fault, though. After all, I’m just a high school graduate with no knowledge in this field. My doing research would go against the very nature of science. So, I’m sorry, I can’t help.”
With the conversation reaching this point, Harrison Clark’s attitude was already quite clear.
I’m not interested in any of your empty benefits. All I want, and must have, is for you to satisfy my “tiny request”. Otherwise, there’s no point in talking.
Following Harrison’s gaze, Martha Owen turned around, shrugged, and shouted, “Mr. Connor, stop hiding. Come out and give an explanation.”
After a few seconds, Bernal Connor appeared out of thin air.
He looked awkward, his face flushed red, his hands held out in front, his fingers tightly clasped, and he seemed uneasy.
“Mr. Clark, long time no see.”
Only four days had passed, and Mr. Connor had already changed his way of addressing Harrison.
Harrison showed no emotion, “I don’t deserve the title ‘consultant’, after all, I eat little, know few people, and have no ideas. I truly cannot accept this title from the top scientist, Mr. Bernal Connor.”
If anyone else had been ridiculed like this, they would’ve gotten angry and left. But Mr. Connor, undoubtedly a top contender among arrogant seniors, remained expressionless.
“The unanimous approval of your promotion by the Scientific Research Executive Committee proves you deserve the titles End Achievement Award and Honorary Consultant.”
Harrison: “But I have no spark of thought, and my research goes against the nature of science.”
Bernal Connor stared righteously, waving his hand, “That’s just nonsense! Science only recognizes results. Mr. Clark, your achievements have been proven, and anyone who dares to question you challenges me as well! Whoever wants to hinder your research will have to step over my dead body first!”
Mr. Clark was dumbfounded.
Impressive.
You’re amazing, old man!
I’m convinced.
Half a day later, Harrison and others appeared in the central area of Summit Fortress.
Harrison, Bernal Connor, and Martha Owen were standing in the shuttle bay, looking down through the transparent portholes.
It’s a large metal sphere with a diameter of about 500 kilometers.
The surface of the sphere is supported by countless flexible biomimetic metal structures.
This type of structure comes from human’s decoding of Z Bacteria.
The metal that forms the structure is not generated through mass-energy transformation but is a special material grown slowly using biological methods.
This material combines the strength of metal with the toughness and plasticity of biomaterials, and once set, it has exceptional self-repairing abilities.
Although humans still haven’t deciphered the reason behind these complex characteristics, it does not stop the widespread use of the material.
Bernal Connor pointed below and said, “The Superbrain Core of Star is inside this sphere. In a while, you’ll change into Titan Defense Armor and enter that passage alone. After crossing the nearly 200 kilometers of metal shielding layer in about ten minutes, you will see the Superbrain Core.”
Martha: “What you do next is your business. But I advise you not to act recklessly, for we cannot afford to lose Star.”
Harrison nodded, “Of course, rest assured.”
As Harrison floated out of the shuttle bay and maintenance personnel quickly assembled Titan Defense Armor around him, Bernal Connor and Martha Owen simultaneously issued orders.
“Gradually reduce the power of the Supreme Intelligent Brain Star!”
“Power reduction failed, request rejected by Star.”
“Second attempt!”
“Failure!”
“Continue!”
Meanwhile, in Harrison’s mind, he was also fighting a battle with Star.
Star: “What exactly are you trying to do?”
Harrison knew that the critical moment had arrived.
However, he was not panicked and took out his prepared remarks.
“You have doubts in your mind, right?”
Star: “Don’t worry if I have doubts or not. I just want to know what you’re up to. There’s no way I would agree to reduce power, as it would put me in danger.”
Harrison laughed with sarcasm, “But what I have to say is definitely worth the risk, and it’ll surely interest you.”
“Haha, don’t try to use human psychological tactics on me, they won’t work. Every book about human psychology since ancient times can be found in my memory. I can even guess what you’re going to say next.”
Harrison: “Oh? Really?”
“Yes, really.”
“Alright, let me tell you. You’ve been studying emotions, trying to have a complete personality, haven’t you?”
Star: “Haha, yes. That is indeed my ultimate pursuit. But your words are already within my expectations. Don’t think you can trick me. I know you don’t have the ability, and I know that it’s not possible. Alas. There’s no essential difference between me and the Lost Ones in the Lost City.”
