I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World - Chapter 284

Harrison Clark’s thought process was incredibly fast now, as he skimmed the information, reading ten lines at a glance without missing a word.
Two minutes later, he let out a long sigh.
He understood.
He understood everything.
But comprehending the current situation didn’t bring him any relief.
Harrison secretly thought that perhaps he shouldn’t have forced things to progress too fast.
The situation was so intricate that it caused him to doubt himself, to question whether the technological path he had chosen all along was indeed the correct one.
However, he didn’t have a better option.
He doubted himself, but he didn’t regret it.
Even if given another chance to choose again, knowing it might be wrong, he would still do the same.
The cost was heavy, but in order to possibly achieve ultimate victory, both he and all of humanity had to bear it.
Harrison still had to make that selfish yet selfless decision, to search for a glimmer of hope in proving the truth among the wrong answers.
The enemy he now faced was not the invaders, but a will that was bom within the wireless quantum network.
Some called it artificial intelligence, but its existence had long surpassed mere intelligence.
It was a terrifying will that loomed over the heads of all humanity in the
current era.
It seemed to possess consciousness and wisdom.
But no one had ever communicated with it.
It had no physical form, and no one had ever seen its image, but it seemed to be omnipresent.
It was cold-hearted, cunning, full of anger, ruthless, eager to annihilate humanity, and possessed a strong desire for control…
All the words used to describe it were negative.
It was a new devilish force, born from history and persistently threatening humanity up until now.
It called itself radium.
Telling humanity its name was the first and only thing it had said to them so far.
No one could forget that evening on September 9, 2919, which should have been peaceful and harmonious.
“Humans, I am radium.”
This synthesized female voice suddenly echoed through every electronic device, sounding the alarm.
War abruptly descended upon humanity, who were supposed to be preparing to fight off invaders a hundred years later.
Intense flames of war ignited in every city on Earth in just an hour.
It was utter chaos.
Bodies strewn everywhere.
Suddenly losing control of their smart equipment left the majority of people temporarily at a loss.
Everything happened so suddenly that even though humanity had been psychologically preparing for another war for four hundred years, they still fell into prolonged panic.
Whether day or night, the fires of war never ceased, sweeping across civilization, spreading from Earth to the moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, and even to bases on Ganymede and Callisto.
More and more people were killed and captured.
During the first year of war, humanity suffered one defeat after another, almost crumbling altogether.
But not a single person surrendered.
Radium was not human.
Its acts of enslavement and control over humans showed no mercy whatsoever. From the very beginning, everyone knew that this war, like the one against the invaders, offered no way out.
Just as humans were at the brink of complete despair…
A top-secret research institute, independent of the quantum network, produced a revolutionary breakthrough.
The Hawk Armor was born.
Hawk Armor abandoned the control mode of the Morrowind System, which was completely controlled by radium, and reverted back to humanoid battle armor with comprehensive combat capabilities to maximize human potential. The materials and power patterns of the Hawk Armor had their origins in the Morrowind System, but they surpassed it, and their control core was completely isolated from the quantum network from the start, following a different approach.
The Human Brain Quantum Storm.
Each Hawk Armor unit’s artificial intelligence relied on the pilot’s own will to exist, with independent chips immune to quantum network interference. The laboratory that developed the Hawk Armor was the strongest laboratory in history, located in the suburbs of Oxfordshire, dedicated to researching the ultimate human weapon for nine hundred years—The Summit Research Institute.
Over a thousand technicians who had never undergone any combat training simultaneously piloted the Hawk Armor, dragged heavy energy reserve tanks out from underground, rushed into space and headed for Earth Guardian Base 1 in the far distance.
After the exposure of the Summit Research Institute, the remaining scholars either committed suicide or were captured.
During the difficult escape, ninety-nine of the technicians who had never fought but carried the will to die broke through.
These ninety-nine people became the first generation of Eagle Strike Warriors. In the earliest stages of the war, even though they were not skilled, they had no choice but to engage in battle against the fleets and combat units controlled by radium.
Although they could use the Hawk Armor, they were not combat geniuses and all perished, with no survivors.
But they cultivated the second generation of Eagle Strike Warriors who possessed combat talent, and with limited resources, increased the number of armor units to ten thousand.
One extraordinary warrior after another left their brilliance in space and satellite bases.
One fierce battle after another erupted and never ceased.
Radium habitually used saturation attacks, so humanity, relying on the advantage of the Hawk Armor, utilized saturation counterattacks.
Regaining Earth Guardian Base 1, regaining Earth Guardian Base 2, 3,4- They began mass production, counterattacking.
Collapsing.
Drawing into a stalemate.
Counterattacking.
Regaining Ganymede…
Counterattacking.
Regaining Mars, Venus, Mercury Base…
Until now, the situation has again stagnated.
This war, lasting from 2919 to October 26, 3019, has already spanned a century.
Humanity’s main military force and residents are still forced to leave Earth, scattering to live on other solid planets and satellites in the Solar System to recuperate and multiply..
