Chapter 686: Chapter 427: Sergey’s Letter [4500 words, thanks to the spectators of the League leader]

Harrison Clark glanced back at the young version of Sergey, who was so stunned that he couldn’t tell if he was a real or a simulation. His heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Had he succeeded or failed in the end?

According to the research progress reported by the intelligent Sergey, he couldn’t crack the underlying genetic information of the ZS Bacteria, let alone develop a vaccine, let alone absorbing the cosmic law hidden in the ZS Bacteria for his own use.

Apparently, the fusion of the core functions of the Z and S bacteria by the higher-order civilization led to a qualitative change, which gave it a more mysterious biological characteristic, far surpassing the former two bacteria. Even the absolute genius Sergey, who had mastered the tech level of at least three centuries in the eighth timeline, was helpless.

The previously infallible methods, like protein inactivation, targeted compilation after gene comparison, and other advanced vaccine cultivation techniques, were of no use.

The crux of the problem is that the human body cannot bear the intensity of the ZS Bacteria. Even the immune system of the galactic humans cannot produce antibodies that can eliminate the ZS Bacteria, so there is no way to develop a vaccine.

Sergey did not understand it at all, and even doubted that the only reason he himself was not infected was because the ZS Bacteria did not want to infect him.

As for why the invaders chose to completely destroy the humans and mutant animals transformed by the ZS Bacteria with a super explosion after achieving their goals?

Perhaps it’s also because the higher-order civilizations are also wary of this extinction-level biological weapon they created and do not want it to fall into the hands of others, so they want to destroy the evidence. And it can also prevent the weapon out of control, and eliminate its potential to evolve into another civilization with a high degree of threat.

Sergey’s last words ended like this.

“I’ve never seen such a bacterium, and never thought that such a creature could be born in the universe. It has quantum intelligence and conforms to biological mechanisms. This is a new type of quantum intelligence that is completely combined with biology. I even doubt that the physical rules within the solar system have changed to provide living conditions for this bacterium.”

“Even though I was born in the solar system after it was tampered with, my thinking cannot break free from the constraints of basic physical rules. In terms of chess that Harrison Clark admired, I am a piece in the game. Without the chessboard, I am nothing.”

“In short, I tried my best on the path of understanding the control bacteria. Every time I think I understand it a little better, I only realize my own ignorance and naivety more clearly. Every confident judgment I have made, is an absolute denial of my previous confidence. Before I truly tried to understand and control the bacteria, I never made a mistake. But when I tried to understand it, I kept making mistakes, never right.”

The term “control bacteria” is the name that humans in this timeline gave to the ZS Bacteria; although future generations have Harrison Clark’s predictive historical materials, they have not personally experienced the impact of the Z and S bacteria, so they did not continue to use Harrison Clark’s personal naming habits.

“For a scientist, this situation is an unspeakable great sorrow. When our colonial ships took root in one star after another, we mistakenly believed that we had completely understood the universe. Humanity thought that the saying ‘the more we learn, the more we realize how little we know’ was outdated, but now I know it’s not.”

“It’s an eternal truth. Infinite universe has infinite fears.”

“The infinite universe has endless hopes and limitless darkness. Humans absolutely cannot bear genuine darkness, and should not lose their fear and vigilance against the universe. No one knows when and where we are being observed, guarded, and even dominated by a completely incomprehensible alien civilization.”

“Everyone has a glimmer of hope before the disaster comes. When a disaster strikes, no one can stay out of it. I sincerely hope that the people who leave can persist, can continue to pass on the torch of humanity. But unfortunately, I don’t think it’s possible. I have already seen the inevitable demise.”

“But I did not sink into despair, my conscience is clear. As the last human in the solar system, although I had been confused on the way forward, I never thought of giving up. I did my best, just not very well.”

“I regret a lot. If Professor Rainer had survived instead of me, maybe the result would be different. He was the best biologist. I tried my best to catch up, but it wasn’t good enough. Unfortunately, there is no if, and I’m the one left behind. I am sorry, Professor Rainer. I am sorry, Professor Harrison Clark. I am sorry, humanity. I really did my best.”

Harrison Clark looked away, not wanting to look at the young Sergey who could only say “follow me” anymore.

He could feel the sorrow of the genius before his death.

Sergey was extraordinarily intelligent, a top physicist and engineer that rarely seen in a millennium, but biology is not his biggest talent.

When he solved the problem of the Dyson membrane, he mostly used his physical achievements, only relying on the achievement of Willian.

This time, he was forced to turn to a field that he did not have talented in, faced with the ZS Bacteria, the ultimate failure was a matter of course.

Only, he wondered how Sergey would feel if he could have survived and seen the drooling version of himself, who could only say “follow me”.
