Chapter 869: Chapter 523: I Want Your Lifeti_1
People’s reactions varied greatly.
Ethan Evans leaned back heavily in his chair, gasping for breath with his hand on his chest, as if he couldn’t catch his breath.
Among the three newcors, he was the first to guess the truth, but was the most impacted.
What Harrison Clark said was exactly what he had always believed, but when long-term concerns turned into reality, it felt like a tightly wound spring in his heart suddenly snapped.
Samantha’s reaction was not as strong, but she appeared very bewildered and sowhat incredulous.
Chris Owen suddenly stood up, “This is simply…”
...
He wanted to say it was simply absurd, but as the words ca to his throat, he suddenly rembered the identity of the person in front of him.
A terrible thought erged in his heart.
Could it be that Harrison Clark wasn’t joking?
Was this true?
Chris Owen felt a bit parched, pointing at the thesis title behind Harrison Clark, “This is your evidence?”
Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes.”
“But this is beyond belief.”
Harrison Clark: “In ancient tis, if soone told them that one day humans would soar through the sky like birds, they too would have thought it impossible. You only think this way because you don’t understand.”
Chris Owen was silent for a long ti.
Ward Owen quietly tugged at his father’s sleeve.
Chris Owen finally sat down slowly and said, “Sorry, I was being presumptuous and should not have interrupted your words.”
Harrison Clark shook his head, “It’s fine, your reaction was within my expectations. To be precise, the reactions of all three of you were so.”
“Ethan, you are a scientist, and you have been deeply exposed to the rhetoric of alien threats for a long ti. While working on your research, you must have been amazed more than once by the miraculous geotric structures found within microscopic organisms. You will imrse yourself in questions like ‘Why does the Earth’s biology evolve in such a fascinating pattern?’, ‘What is guiding our genes towards such a direction?’, ‘Do extraterrestrial life forms share the sa characteristics?’, ‘Are there other types of life forms in the universe?’. Without my reminder, you would even actively think, ‘What if aliens invaded one day, what would we do?’ There have been many similar Hollywood blockbusters, and you even served as a scientific advisor for them.”
Harrison Clark said a lot, but it could all be sumd up in one idea.
The smarter the mind, the closer it is to the truth of science, the more prone it is to “letting one’s imagination run wild”.
True top scientists are very complex, and in so sense, are all atheists. While constantly pursuing the limits of science, a certain indescribable “god” will erge in the hearts of each top scientist, a god that cannot be shared with outsiders.
This so-called indescribable god is actually born out of the pursuit of an answer that each scientist is destined not to achieve in their lifeti while seeking the limits of science.
When the intensity of obsession exceeds a certain limit, it will beco a fear that makes people shudder at the re thought of it.
Harrison Clark understood Ethan very well, and there was no doubt that Ethan’s fear lay in his unattainable pursuit of extraterrestrial life.
“Samantha’s reaction lies sowhere between Chris Owen and Ethan. She is a frontline researcher, but she has not stepped out of the identity of an ordinary person.”
“Chris Owen, you are different from Ethan. Scientists deal with knowledge, while you are a businessman, another extre. Although you run a technology company, you deal mostly with people. And you are a very successful businessman; your position determines your way of thinking and makes you extrely pragmatic when considering issues. You are busy handling affairs, so how can you have ti to think about aliens and the like? Mr. Owen, you probably don’t even have much interest in movies, right?”
Chris Owen nodded, “Yes. After all, for a long ti, every decision I make affects the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people. But Harrison, aren’t you the sa now?”
Harrison Clark shook his head, “Similar, but different. You’ll see.”
He didn’t explain further, but began to explain his paper along with the PowerPoint presentation.
His paper was of a high level, mainly because he made everything clear without using any knowledge from the future.
In these few days, Harrison Clark had taken his privilege to the extre. He first contacted various universities and research institutions through Summit Research Institute’s dostic influence and collected research data from various related fields in the country from them.
At the sa ti, he also obtained so core results of overseas public welfare research institutions through Linton Research Institute and tycoon Charles Butler.
Of course, so people were reluctant, but all Harrison Clark needed to do was to give a little hint and tell them, “Today you refuse , and tomorrow you will be excluded from my core industry chain. Today you help , and you can already be considered my partner.”
If soone else said this, it might be a joke.
But when the one saying it was Harrison Clark, it ant sothing else.
In the past few months, he had announced groundbreaking scientific and technological achievents spanning fields such as energy, new materials, artificial intelligence, computing, biology, and dicine.
With the Madman’s Conjectures Collection as proof, no one would think he was kidding.
And after Eilen Elvin and Lamont-Nigel Ramsey joined, they finally ca into contact with the real stuff Harrison Clark had to offer.
Even though what they held were only frawork plans and not complete academic achievents, and there was still a long way to go to transform the plans into reality, both of them were top academic leaders in their respective fields and had precise judgnt on the quality of academic books.
