Chapter 763: Chapter 462: Still Youth Upon Return【6500 Words】_3
“Yes, in your later years, you were particularly keen on controlling everything. The entire Salvation Association was just a projection of your consciousness.”
Harrison Clark’s old face turned red, and he secretly rejoiced at not giving a negative comment just now, otherwise he would have ended up slapping himself in the face.
Harrison remembered an important question and asked, “How did you guys determine that I would appear at the right place at the right time?”
Star smiled behind the isolation barrier, “Have you ever heard of psychohistory?”
Harrison was shocked, “Of course I’ve heard of it. It’s a discipline that originated from Freud’s psychoanalysis and was further developed by Asimov in the Foundation series. The core idea is to analyze the economic, political, social, and scientific events of large-scale populations distributed over 20 million planets throughout fictional science fiction history in order to find objective laws that fit both civilization and the universe, and to use these laws to predict the development of civilizations. Am I right? I didn’t remember it wrong, did I?”
Star: “Your summary is basically accurate and consistent with the fictional content of science fiction.”
Harrison’s heart began to beat faster. “Have you guys mastered psychohistory?”
Star shook her head, “Not really.”
“Huh?”
“First of all, our population is not as large as hundreds of billions. Secondly, there are many more civilizations in the Milky Way than science fiction writers originally imagined. Civilizations comprised of different intelligent species would interfere with the psychohistorical judgments that only apply to humans, making it impossible for us to summarize the principles. Now we have also discovered more effects of stellar quantum storms on the human quantum mechanism in the brain, making group behaviors even more unpredictable, and inevitably becoming more complex as the populations and star systems we reach increase.”
“Whether true psychohistory exists and what it has to do with the quantum nature of the universe is still unknown. In short, it doesn’t matter. In this operation, we simplified psychohistory and turned it into a probability theory of individual behavior aimed solely at you. This is probably just a branch of psychohistory, which we call Sage Philosophy.”
Harrison: “Huh? Targeted at me? Sage Philosophy?”
“Yes. Studying only the Sage Harrison Clark.”
“Alright. Tell me what’s going on.”
“Our historians and psychologists first studied the Compound Eye Crisis, Lover, and your personal life trajectory changes, constantly deepening their understanding of you. Every detail of your life from childhood to adulthood, including every word you spoke and every micro-expression you made, if recorded, was the subject of scholars’ research.”
Harrison imagined it and felt a slight chill, as if he was being completely seen through.
Could it be that even the number of times he wet the bed or got an upset stomach from eating bad food were known to these descendants?
“At the same time, scholars also analyzed the Egyptian tribe, the Compound-Eyed Observers, and the traces of civilizations we observed in the Orion Arm, the entire Milky Way, and even extragalactic galaxies to infer the behavioral patterns of the Compound Eye Observers.”
Harrison nodded, “That’s reasonable.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“And then, look carefully at our star map.”
Star projected the original layout of the Morrowind Empire’s territory in the control room: before the war, the 14,400 colonies and over a hundred thousand Dyson membrane energy bases were displayed before Harrison’s eyes.
“This is the overall layout of the Morrowind Empire before the war began. You’ll notice that different star regions and colonies show differentiated development levels. However, in reality, some colonies shouldn’t be so prosperous while others should be stronger. We adjusted the technological progress and development tendencies of each colony, forming a huge web stretching across 5,000 light-years. When the war started, the Compound Eye fleet was indeed powerful, but its progression was always moving in the direction we planned. There were some minor differences along the way, but the error was never too great.”
In the next moment, the star map began to change.
First, the Proxima Centauri System suddenly turned red, indicating the advent of the Edge Ship fleet.
After that, the red circle began to spread outwards, while new green and blue points also spread out before turning red again.
A circle of war flames spread out in all directions from the core star region, eventually forming today’s pattern.
Star: “This is the evolution of the war in this century. As you can see, the Compound Eye Observers have absorbed our art of war, shifting from meat-grinder tactics to key strikes, and then to spreading out their forces or making deep penetrations with isolated units, which has given us many opportunities to capture lone Prism Ships. A total of 1.3 million… times.”
Harrison nodded, “Even though we haven’t been successful in decoding the Prism Ship’s material yet, from the perspective of gathering information, it’s definitely been done to the extreme.”
Star: “Yes, but it all comes down to you. Look at the path of the Compound Eye fleet again…”
Star marked several different routes on the star map, some of which overlapped with Harrison’s route during the past century, while others differed.
“Aside from not being able to calculate that your anchor point for traveling was the uninhabited Solar System, we’ve pretty much guessed everything else correctly. We knew you would choose to lie low and observe first, then use the layout of the war zone to create these safe routes that are unlikely to encounter the Compound Eye fleet.”
“At the same time, the scholars also knew that you would definitely visit different star regions through the Stargate. Although no one had thought you would find a way to sneak around, your patterns were still within our calculations. The information about the Specialty Galaxy that you and Freddy intercepted on the internet was actually filtered. I blocked some of the Specialty Galaxies.”
