Trantor: 549690339
Harrison rk, please ept my condolences.
Wearing a neatly pressed military uniform, Nora Camp took the urn containing Daniel Thompsons ashes from Harrison rks hand and ced it on the memorial tower beside her.
Harrison rk nodded expressionlessly.
Grief, however, didnt quite describe his feelings.
He simply wasnt used to the sensation of a familiar face dying before his eyes, before the final curtain.
He hated this feeling, which was why he had always tried to maintain a distance from others during his time in the military.
But one cant always control the circumstances.
This time, he had unintentionally spent an extensive amount of time with Lion, and before he knew it, the square-faced man had left a mark on his heart with a chisel.
He leaped up, his hand gripping a golden knife, and carved another name into the massive memorial tower.
Daniel Thompson.
Salute! At ease!
Nora Camp stepped forward and shouted loudly.
Below the stage, tens of thousands of instructors and new recruits from the ck Bear Training Base saluted in unison.
The military song The Fire resounded through the air once more.
Everyone stood at attention and paid their respects.
The strong wind whipped the bright red gs, making them flutter and rustle. The atmosphere was solemn, deste, and somber.
Apanied by the stirring military song, Nora Camp used her clear and crisp voice to shout powerfully.
A general dies a hundred times in battle, yet his body remains wrapped in horsehide. Instructor Hill has gone ahead of us, and we will not let his blood be shed in vain! Return to the training base and continue training!
A massive, dark crowd silently dispersed to their respective training locations.
Harrison rk immersed himself in training once more, with even greater focus and dedication than before.
He even forgot the original intention of his trip to copy songs.
His motivation was simple.
Every time he allowed his heart to be idle, he couldnt help but recall Lionsst words.
Although the hope was slim, almost nonexistent, he decided to follow Lions wish and try to fight on the front lines once.
To try and taste the sensation of striving towards the distant goal of bing a savior.
After all, he had to live on Lions behalf and strive to survive until the end of civilization.
Harrison rks dedication caused problems for the bases technicians responsible for equipment maintenance and logistics.
He could always easily operate at over 23G eleration, but the Azure Dragon Armor couldnt withstand it.
The failure and damage rate of his training equipment was too high. Almost every training session would causerge-scale cracks in the vitalponents and joint areas of the Azure Dragon Armor.
Can you please take it easy? You break a set every day, and the general assembly has tailored seven sets for you ording to your sizeits not enough to keep up with your consumption. Do you know how much it costs topletely repair the Azure Dragon Armor once? Not to mention that many of yourponents are irreversibly damaged! You bum through millions of credits daily, which is enough for the annual consumption of tens of thousands of ordinary households!
Looking at the Azure Dragon Armor that was constantly shedding metal fragments, Professor Owen couldnt bear the heartache and said this.
It was unbearable.
Only half an hour had passed since Harrison rk used the serum, and he had already ruined another set!
Harrison rk did some mental calctions in his mind,paring it to the era he lived in, equivalent to spending several hundred million RMB a day.
That was not too bad.
He asked back, Professor Owen, ording to the militarys usual philosophy, isnt this what should be expected? Good steel should be used on the cutting edge, and my purpose is to test the limits of humanbat prowess, isnt it? Did I do anything against the rules?
Professor Owens mouth twitched, Thats true, I dont mean to me you, its just that I feel sorry for these excellent equipment. Sigh.
Harrison rk retorted, Ive been training for so long, and I still havent reached my limit. Its these things that are holding me back. How can this be considered good equipment? If the operator has to suppress their abilities to adapt to the equipment, whats the point of the training? If I dont improve, whats the meaning of practice?
Professor Owen actually wanted to say that there was indeed no need to train anymore.
Harrison rk had already raised the limit of human operation skills to an unprecedented level.
The military had long utilized the data collected from his daily training topile a new Azure Dragon Armor training program.
This new program had brought human piloting skills of the Azure Dragon Armor to an almost unattainable level for nearly all operators.
Up to now, even the second-fastest learner in the military had onlypleted less than a quarter of the new program.
And the program only got more challenging towards the end.
ording to the Central Intelligence data simtion, no one would be able toplete half of the newlypiled program within the remaining year.
So, in a sense, humanity no longer needed Harrison rk to train so hard.
As Harrison rk had once observed, even if an individuals strength soared to break through the sky, it was still just a drop in the ocean in the grand scheme of things.
Harrison rk might be the tallest, strongest nk in the barrel effect, but it wouldnt help the barrel hold even a single extra drop of water.
The reason why the top military officials in todays world still indulged Harrison rks extravagant waste of resources was, on the one hand, their extravagant hope that through his progress, they would be able to see the ultimate peak of humanbat ability; and, on the other hand, it served aspensation for Harrison rks contributions.There was even a faint idea circting among the military high-ranking officials.
The human body, as a carbon-based mammal, limited Harrison rks potential.
Although humanity had already stepped out of Earth and established bases with manufacturing capabilities on Mercury, Venus, and Mars, the sum of the energy that humans have dominated so far had barely exceeded the total amount of sr radiation that Earth could receive each year.
Thus, humanity had just barely crossed the threshold of Type I Civilization the Homeworld Civilization. It was like an infant making its way towards a Type II Civilization ary Civilization, still at the very bottom of the Kardashev Civilization scale.
The human brain and nervous systems had not yet evolved and were not yet adapted to the new interster era.
The low level of the Homeworld Civilization limited the heights that someone with extraordinary potential, such as Harrison rk, could ultimately reach, and the universe did not afford humanity and Harrison much more time to advance.
If it werent for the current disaster, if Harrison had been born a few thousand yearster when the human race hadpleted its next stage of evolution, possessing a more formidable brain, better cosmic observation capabilities, and a more stable and efficient nervous system, then perhaps he would have been able to unleash his true potential.
It could even be said that Harrison might represent the next stage of humanity, regarded as a superhuman or perhaps post-human.
However, it was all toote, and there was no more time.
It was the human Homeworld Civilization that owed Harrison rk.
So, although his current training method was a bit resource-intensive, it was still eptable, and the military higher-ups did not call a stop to it with some expectations in mind.
Alright, I couldnt convince you otherwise, but take it easy on yourself and dont train so hard that you cause stress injuries.
Mhm.
Professor Owen left.
Harrison swapped back to the simtor, experiencing the false sensation of 28G.bender
Unfortunately, the real machine could simply not withstand this level of intensity and would fall apart instantly; he could only indulge in fantasies about what it would feel like while using the training simtor.
Once he had experienced the real machine, even the most realistic simtors could not satisfy his needs.
Not long after, a notification came through Harrisons helmet.
Lieutenant Harrison rk, please pause your training and report to Major General Nora Camps office.
Harrison, with a puzzled heart, went to themand center.
After the militarypetition, General Nora Camp had disappeared for a while, and he had no idea what the general had been busy with.
Why did she summon him as soon as she returned?
He knocked on the door.
Please,e in.
Harrison entered the room.
Nora Camp was standing with her back to him, looking up at a three-dimensional star map based on the Sr System, seemingly lost in thought.
Just as Harrison was about to ask her what she wanted to see him for, she turned around, scrutinizing him for a few seconds before walking to the side, picking up a cup from the shelf, and pouring a ss of orange juice for Harrison. Would you like some?
Harrison took the ss and sipped it lightly, So, General Camp, why did you call for me?
Nora Camp sat down beside him and nodded, Yes, have you decided which spaceship to choose?
Harrison was at a loss, I sent you reports recently, wanting to see the information about the various spaceships in the fleet, but you were away from the base, and I couldnt make a decision without the data.
Nora Camp smiled, I deliberately didnt let you see it.
Harrison was not surprised, it was expected, But thats the right of the army games champion. If you wont let me see it now, once its time to board next month, I would naturally be able to see.
Why dont you just simply choose The Giant Wave? General Camp asked unwillingly.
Harrison shook his head, That would be unfair to me and the other captains.
Nora Camp seemed to see through him, Excuses, thats not your real intention.
It doesnt matter, does it? Harrison smiled calmly.
General Camp took a deep breath, I guess you dont know much about me yet. You may be considered a cross-era genius in the field of Azure Dragon Armor control. And I, Nora Camp, the youngest battleshipmander in history, am a genius in the field ofbatmand! Only on my battleship could you truly be the cutting-edge weapon humanity needs.
Harrison couldnt help butugh, Is that so? Then can you tell me what kind of enemy we are facing? How do you n on using me in battle? What stance should I take when facing what kind of enemy? Who exactly should I be stabbing with this sharp de?
Nora Camps expression froze.
Harrisons question had stumped her.
So far, as to what type of civilization the enemy was and how the war would break out, the military had spent hundreds of years calcting billions of possibilities, but none had reached a definite conclusion.
Forget it, lets not talk about that. Ill let you ess the data tomorrow.
Thank you, general.
I will also ask researchers from the Yellowstone Research Institute to design and modify the Azure Dragon Armor specifically for you, in order to produce a higher-performing model. I have been running around dealing with this matter recently.
Harrisons face lit up with joy, Thank you, general!
But you have to promise me one condition.
Please, go on.
Nora Camp took a deep breath, locking eyes with Harrison, You have to have a child with me..
