Chapter 574: Chapter 375: Summit Colossus and Planning_1
If the spherical battleship were to escape and reposition itself outside the Solar System Barrier, all efforts would be in vain.
Even if it didn’t try to escape, it could simply move around within the Solar System, avoiding battle and waiting for reinforcements, leaving humanity helpless.
Because once it regained its freedom, it could use its warp ability to its heart’s content, and humans would never be able to catch up.
“Star, how much longer can we trap the enemy ship?”
Harrison Clark asked Star directly.
“A maximum of three minutes.”
Harrison Clark frowned.
This was bad news.
He had only three minutes, probably not enough time to integrate the resources of the particle-interference bomb and the black hole bomb.
In order to prevent these two bombs from being destroyed together, they were distributed among several small transport ships with enhanced mobility capabilities.
Now that there were no elite soldiers around to help him, catching up with the spherical battleship and successfully dropping the bombs seemed nearly impossible.
“How about the analysis results of the technology of the Compound-Eyed Observer? Are there any new achievements?”
“No.”
“Oh, sigh.”
“I’ve positioned the Summit Fortress in a very dangerous location, with its computing power pushed to the limit and the Superbrain Core overloaded, but these technical difficulties are too great. I’m afraid we won’t see results in time.”
Harrison Clark turned his head and looked around, only to be shocked.
Apparently, without his noticing, Star had actually placed the Summit Fortress less than 50,000 kilometers from the center of the battlefield, even closer than the Stellar Sky Giant Cannon.
“Harrison Clark, I have a grand plan.”
Star suddenly spoke up.
“Oh? What? Tell me.”
“Only I and the intelligent robot are currently on the Summit Fortress.”
“I know.”
“So you don’t have to worry about extra casualties.”
“What are you trying to say?”
Star: “I want to…””
Five seconds later, Harrison Clark said solemnly, “Have you decided?”
“Yes. This is the best plan.”
“It’s the best plan for humanity, but not for you.”
Star: “Are you saying I’m not human?”
Harrison Clark’s mouth twitched, “It’s not the time for jokes.”
“I think when my personality was completed, I became a human. Although I don’t have a physical body and I have quantum intelligence, my personality is complete. Don’t I seem like a human?”
She projected her image onto Harrison Clark’s retina.
She was still the girl in the red dress.
Her delicate beauty was flawless, with a radiant, charming aura in every smile and frown, perfectly appealing to every aspect of Harrison Clark’s aesthetics.
Looking at her with his naked eyes, she indeed appeared incredibly lifelike.
She smiled, shrugged, and raised her hands.
“Alright, I admit it. I’m probably not the same as ordinary people. Besides you, I don’t really care about anyone else. Only when I’m with you am I a real person. To others, I’m still merely quantum intelligence.”
“Actually, I don’t care how this plan affects humanity; as long as it’s the best plan for you, that’s enough. If we do this, you can break in, and you may even catch the Compound-Eyed Observer alive. Isn’t that what you want most?”
Harrison Clark reluctantly nodded, “Yes. But…”
“No buts. If we delay any longer, the spherical battleship will definitely break free, and it will be too late.”
“I know.”
Star suddenly said firmly, “I’ve decided, and I won’t accept any objections. If you don’t go, I’ll go myself!”
Harrison Clark finally nodded, “Okay. Thank you.”
“Why are you thanking me? Doing something that an AI couldn’t do proves that I’m human. This is great. Now, I’ll send you everything while there’s still time. You better memorize it.”
Harrison Clark nodded, “I understand.”
Seven seconds later, the voice of his assistants reached him.
“Equipment is in perfect condition at 100%, remaining energy is 100%, and the battle armor has been fully repaired.”
As Harrison Clark captured the information and images sent by Star in his retina, he issued a new command, “Load all particle-interference bombs and black hole bombs on the Summit Fortress!”
After saying this, he turned around and flew towards the location of the Summit Fortress.
“General Harrison, don’t move. Your wounds haven’t been fully treated yet, and you can’t leave the medical platform.”
The voice of the medical team leader came from inside the large medical armor.
Harrison Clark paused slightly.
The medical team leader wasn’t joking.
After deploying bombs to destroy the giant cocoon and personally eliminating the remaining blade mantises, Harrison Clark hadn’t been in the war for long, but he had done the most, and he had many unresolved issues.
Humans were born on Earth, and throughout countless years of evolution, each time humans experienced a gene mutation, it occurred under 1G of gravity.
Gravity not only limited humans from flying, but it also limited the adaptability of the human body.
In a completely weightless environment, the human body is extremely fragile.
As the level of awakening increased, human adaptability improved slightly, but it was not enough.
Internal bleeding is still fatal for humans in a weightless environment.
Although emergency treatment from fine quark therapy devices can instantly heal internal bleeding and other wounds, the new cells forcibly recreated by the quark device are not fully compatible with the human body.
Like a car that needs a break-in period after changing important parts, even if the new-born cells have the same genetic information, they still need a break-in period to perfectly integrate with the human body.
Normally, this break-in period can be slow, and as long as one doesn’t engage in strenuous activities, there won’t be any major issues.
However, in wartime, soldiers are constantly being injured and then quickly healed in intense battles, pushing their limits. The number and proportion of new cells forcibly inserted by the therapy device increase, becoming a gradually accumulating and hard-to-ignore hidden injury.
