Chapter 332: Chapter 231: If I Can’t Create a Leader, I’ll Be One Myself_l
Translator: 549690339
Similar situations had never been witnessed by Harrison Clark in the thirty- first century of the past.
In those tilines where humanity was suppressed by the “Song of the Wilderness”, the higher-ups in the World Governnt had few disagreents, even almost none at all.
Even if they had different views on the sa matter due to their respective specialties, it was not an emotional confrontation, but a logical clash instead.
Though a logical clash seed complicated, it was much easier to determine the winner or loser than an emotional confrontation, just like the saying “there is no first in literature, only second in martial arts”.
Divergent opinions would quickly disappear, unified consensus would be reached, and imdiate action taken, with responsibility shared by all.
In the previous tiline where the World Governnt was not affected by the Song of the Wilderness, differences began to erge, but under the unified will of the governnt, dissenters would quickly learn to compromise and understand each other, eventually reaching a relatively consistent view after compromise.
However, the sharp disagreent in front of Harrison Clark this ti was sothing he had never seen before.
When Harrison Clark witnessed Nora Camp’s eting on the establishnt of the Giant Wave Vertical Team, he had so premonitions. However, under his secret manipulation, the subsequent progress of the event went smoothly, and others quickly followed his personal rhythm, causing him to gradually forget about the issue of different ideologies.
The scene in the present conference room was as noisy as a marketplace, quickly bringing the issue of ideological differences back to Harrison Clark’s mind.
Everyone had different opinions.
So thought that since the Titan Institute had been exposed, the researchers inside should be transferred out as individuals, abandoning the research base.
Others thought that if radium hadn’t taken any action, the Titan Institute should act as if nothing had happened, maintain its research progress, and strive to achieve more viable technological breakthroughs in the shortest ti possible; after all, there wasn’t much ti left for humanity — even if it was attacked by radium eventually, it would only an dying a few months earlier.
So suggested relocating the institute and enhancing its network security, completely blocking external connections and waiting until there were enough results to be brought out by the Permanent Outsiders. This way, even if the radium detected it during its second large-scale information sweep, it would at least consu so of radium’s valuable resources again.
There were smaller disagreents within the larger ones regarding radium’s actions. So believed that radium’s restart of the large-scale sweep would consu as much energy as last ti, while others thought that given radium’s rate of progress, it would definitely find a more efficient yet equally effective thod the second ti around.
For example, the strength of the quantum information flow released by radium last ti was a billion tis the normal state, just to ensure success, but next ti, radium might only increase it by a hundred million tis or even just several tens of millions of tis.
This loss would no longer be devastating for radium.
In that case, the relocation of the Titan Institute would lose its aning, and relocating might even expose more information and affect the research progress as a result.
The debate over whether to strengthen battleships or expand the production capacity of the Elite Eagle Strike Armor was even more intense, to the point that if everyone wasn’t physically separated by vast distances and could only attend the eting through virtual images, they might have even started a physical fight in the conference room right then and there.
Throughout the entire process, Harrison Clark, who pretended to be profound and playfully watched the drama unfold, was filled with emotion.
From ti to ti, people asked for the opinion of this strongest warrior and instructor, but he would simply wave his hand, indicating that they should continue talking as he listened; this was his first ti attending such a eting, so he just wanted to learn from it.
In reality, he was still simply observing.
If he hadn’t seen it for himself, he wouldn’t have dared to believe that such a chaotic scene could actually occur in a futuristic human society’s high-level eting, a thousand years after the developnt of advanced technology. It seed utterly surreal.
Such a scenario was unimaginable even in large-scale dostic etings a thousand years ago.
But Harrison Clark wasn’t surprised by this.
As history had changed, the “Morning Wind” had ignited the self-awareness of the majority of people, and “Sharp edges fully exposed” caused the self-confidence of many to inflate excessively.
Before the crisis of radium, humanity had experienced nearly four hundred years of dium-intensity wars and conflicts.
Although hatred could be diluted by ti and common goals, it still existed and was rely suppressed.
Furthermore, there was the loosely structured alliance of vertical teams that made up the current human society as a whole.
All these factors, when accumulated and converged, ford the peculiar pattern that could be seen from the microcosm in this small conference room.
It was not to say that those with different opinions had ulterior motives.
If it helped the survival of the race, these people would still rush forward without hesitation to sacrifice themselves and buy ti for their comrades.
On the battlefield, everyone could trust any of their comrades with their backs.
It was just that they couldn’t agree on what decisions would be most helpful.
Given the overwhelming threat posed by radium, even though everyone knew there was no hope, they had no choice but to gather and pool their wisdom in an attempt to find a glimr of hope in the darkness.
Individual differences had begun to erge in people’s judgent of the war.
This was an irreconcilable ideological divide.
But eventually, a conclusion had to be reached, as continuing to argue like this would only waste ti.
Harrison Clark closed his eyes and sank into thought.
At so level, since he had personally created the current situation, he believed that it was his responsibility to put an end to this pointless argunt and not waste the precious limited ti remaining.
It was not difficult to find a solution to the problem.
Harrison Clark had always known and wanted to do sothing, but hadn’t succeeded.
During peaceti, a leader with unrivaled wisdom in both politics and science was needed, such as Sergey in a previous tiline.
During warti, however, a hard-nosed, competent, and durable war leader who also had widespread support was needed.
Currently, humanity was in a state of war.
The social structure of the Freedom Front in terms of tactics allowed each vertical team to maximize their capabilities.
In the early and middle stages of the Hundred Years’ War, this was the perfect strategy and greatly increased humanity’s ability to survive.
But now, tis had changed again; radium had made its decision and possessed the ability to swiftly destroy humanity.
There were only eight months left before the invaders would arrive.
Humanity had to, and could only, face a new era.
The new era put forward higher requirents on a more macro level of strategy.
In a guerrilla warfare strategy, the Freedom Front could only rely on the implicit group wisdom ford by their war instincts.
This wisdom was not clear enough, seemingly stable, but actually chaotic and fragile.But if there is a sufficiently outstanding war leader, who can put an end to disagreents or draw conclusions from their relatively correct stance, the full combat power of the Freedom Front can be brought together as a whole.
Then, humanity’s fighting strength will inevitably beco stronger.
Guerilla warfare strategy is outdated. It’s ti to fully unite and execute a decisive battle strategy, initiating an all-out attack.
Harrison Clark had once been lazy, hoping that “Sharp edges fully exposed” would cultivate a great leader for him in history, and that he could still easily be the ultimate assassin leading the charge.
Now, he has thoroughly realized his strategic failure and given up on wishful thinking.
I tried, but I failed.
Since I cannot create a leader in the tis, I will do it myself I
This responsibility is infinitely heavy, and I will carry it!
Without realizing it himself, this ordinary man has awakened his sense of leadership through the constant external environntal influences and self-observation and thinking.
He began to find a way.
There is only one way to instantly convince everyone present.
Prove he is himself.
Harrison Clark’s eyes suddenly widened, the sharp light in them flashing.
He stood up abruptly and headed out of the eting room.
Gaius from the Caesar Vertical Team, who sat next to Nora Camp, called out to him.
“Coach Harrison, where are you going? Please have your say about the Elite Eagle Strike Armor.”
“That’s right. Coach Harrison is the most authoritative. What he says goes.”
Harrison Clark turned back and grinned, “If I say it, will you definitely execute it without condition? Will you trust that my judgnt is absolutely correct?”
The eting room was quiet again.
“Then let ask another question. Raise your hand if you unconditionally support .”
There were a total of 365 people in the eting room, including leaders from the scientific and military sectors.
About 173 people, led by Nora Camp, Gaius, and Needham Brown, raised their hands.
192 people, represented by Bernal Connor, so Institute presidents, and Venus and rcury Bases, did not raise their hands.
However, Mr. Connor imdiately added, “It’s not that we don’t respect your opinion, it’s just that there can be no one who is absolutely right, so can we negotiate?”
Harrison Clark smiled and shook his head, “As expected.”
With that, he left for real.
Nora Camp followed him out, “Where are you going?”
Harrison thought about it and whispered in her ear, “After the eting, have Mr. Connor modify a miniature fighter with twenty Pseudo-Curvature Engines and adjust my Ultimate Eagle Strike Armor. I’m going to Earth.”
“What?”
Nora was stunned, “You want to die? What are you trying to do? Do you think Radium will change its form and fight you one-on-one?”
Harrison blinked, “Why, don’t you trust unconditionally? I say, you do, go on. Be good.”
He unreservedly patted Nora’s buttocks in public on the square.
Nora blushed but did not question him further. Instead, she clenched her teeth and hurried back.
Ten minutes later, Nora Camp and Bernal Connor left the eting early.
Bernal Connor, Dr. Bart Owen, and many technicians began to intensively refit the miniature warship in preparation for Harrison Clark’s solo mission.
“What is he going to do?”
Bernal Connor debated bitterly while glancing at the blueprint and asking casually.
He knew Harrison wanted a warship like this, but he was unsure where Harrison would go.
He would never guess that Harrison would dare return to Earth after Radium had fully mastered the gravitational wave technology and just demonstrated a nearly invulnerable quantum information stream.
Nora Camp shook her head, “I’m not sure. Just do what he says. Wait, Mr. Connor, can you think of a way to further strengthen the transmission energy field algorithm on this warship and enhance its stealth capabilities?”
Mr. Connor scratched his head, “I’ll think about it. It involves so unified force field principles that we haven’t fully researched yet. I’ll ask Martha Owen.”
“Is she better than you now?”
Mr. Connor disagreed, shaking his head, “It’s not that. It’s just that young people have more creative ideas.”
“Alright.”
Four hours later, at 3 pm Beijing ti on Earth, Harrison Clark boarded the newly-modified miniature warship.
Mr. Connor watched him from a distance, with mixed feelings.
Dr. Owen approached, “Coach Harrison, besides the power you requested, we also installed a newly experintally validated transmission force field. If our calculations are correct, you can maintain a deep invisibility effect for about ten minutes after turning on the high-efficiency mode, with the camouflage capability approaching that of Radium’s Triangular Warships.”
“However, our new transmission performance is not stable enough, and it will automatically collapse and release extrely strong electromagnetic waves. You will beco a non-luminous artificial sun and be instantly detected by Radium’s surveillance.”
Harrison Clark nodded, “I got it. Thank you.”
The engine started, rose into the sky, and disappeared.
He set off with so uncertain judgnts that he had finally sorted out from his second review of history.
If it doesn’t work, it’s just death, and he’ll co back next ti.
I, Harrison Clark, am as steady as an old dog.
