Chapter 803: Chapter 479: A Choice Betting on Fate_1
Before this, Harrison Clark had witnessed too many farewells and been moved countless times.
But never before had he felt so directly how powerful emotions can be in granting spiritual strength to humanity.
That was because before, it had always been him who transcended limits and turned impossibilities into possibilities.
Some things, when done too frequently, gradually become numb.
But now, he watched others, under the support of their will, turn the 2.37% probability into 100%.
Marthus, once mediocre, had performed at a level comparable to Needham Brown, even to himself.
This was where Harrison Clark felt the deepest.
Especially when he replayed Marthus’s battle record, he discovered that Marthus had been playing the instrumental version of “The Fire” throughout the 200-plus seconds of the fight.
When the bomb exploded, the accompaniment of “The Fire” just ended.
Another century had passed, and the location was now 2,500 light-years away from the Solar System.
Harrison Clark didn’t expect that a song Carrie Thomas had composed a 1,100 years ago, would travel 2,500 light-years and play such an important role in the last fight of humanity.
Harrison Clark couldn’t help but recall Carrie Thomas’s aspirations.
She wanted to be useful, to leave something deeper and more meaningful for humanity.
Upon becoming a member of the Solution, her ambitions gained an additional motivation to become Harrison Clark’s aide.
Carrie Thomas was no longer alive, but she had never disappeared.
She kept her promise.
Harrison Clark’s emotions surged to an extreme.
So this time, Harrison Clark finally left a quote of his own.
Harrison Clark declared the end of the class.
Lion captured Daniel Thompson afterwards for a separate lesson, to teach him how to seize the opportunity for the Torrent Assault Team with intensive training.
Then Harrison Clark attended another high-level meeting.
Although the Energy Beam Bomb had achieved outstanding results, the atmosphere of the meeting was still somewhat heavy.
“After repeated calculations, we have enough special materials to make only ten more Energy Beam Bombs,” said Martha Owen.
It sounded ruthless, meaning that humanity could at most shoot down ten more Prism Ships and still needed to rush to the vicinity of the Prism Ship or detonate during the activation of the Star-shattering Cannons.
To make matters worse, the disabled Prism Ship was not successfully retrieved. Instead, it suddenly became mobile again, likely remotely controlled by another Prism Ship, and then quickly taken away by another Prism Ship at a high speed.
Although the assault team tried their best to get close and capture the Enemy Ship, their might was still a tier below the enemy’s frenzied barrage.
This was a great pity, but entirely expected.
Nora Camp was more prone to look on the bright side, “But this at least opened a gap, proving that Prism Ships are no longer invincible. According to calculations, if we disregard material waste, we can make tens of thousands of Energy Beam Bombs using all the special resources in the Orion Arm, right?”
Martha:” Yes. So there is more than one opportunity. There is a chance in the next timeline.”
This was good news.
At least for Harrison Clark and the entire human race, it was good news. But for the people in this timeline, it made them feel a bit complicated.
Mr. Green frowned, “Let’s not think about the future for now. The wise teach us to focus on the present. Right?”
Harrison Clark nodded, “Of course.”
Mr. Green continued, “In this war, even if we succeed in shooting down more ships, we still cannot bring the Prism Ships back. Our special operations capabilities still lacking.”
At this time, Neville Brown chimed in, “I still have two great hopes. Martha’s words are not without reason. First, we only completed the Energy Beam Bombs up till now. But in the previous hundred years, we had many chances to catch Prism Ships alone. Even if we lose this time, next time, the Solution will make the Energy Beam Bomb appear earlier. The opportunity always exists. Second, we cannot capture Prism Ships under the eyes of 30,000 other Prism Ships, but once the Solution arrives, we will have true Warp Star Armor, and the opportunity will arise.”
Everyone turned their eyes to Harrison Clark’s face, immediately filled with boundless expectations.
Oh right.
Our real strongest fighter is still on his way.
And he has the core of the Egyptian tribe!
Harrison Clark stood up, “Neville Brown’s judgment is mostly correct. But I want to emphasize again that the victory achieved this time need not be left until next time. So, you only need to consider the second point. Besides, since the Energy Beam Bomb has been exposed, the Compound-Eyed Observer will be hindered in using the Star-shattering Cannons. The offensive intensity of the Compound-Eyed Observer will weaken, and the fierceness of the upcoming war will slightly decrease. Their number of individuals seems constant, and losing one person deals a heavy blow to them. As for the blasting experiment, whether or not it will be done and how it will be done, I will not participate or advise. You make your own decision.”
In the following three days, after failing twice in a row, the third Energy Beam Bomb explosion was successfully completed by the Acting Captain of the Torrent Assault Team, O’Brien.
Unfortunately, this time O’Brien was ambushed, and the Prism Ship he targeted was only pretending to charge the Star-shattering Cannons. But when O’Brien was about to get close, the Prism Ship quickly shut down and closed in.
O’Brien had to detonate ahead of time, only getting within a hundred kilometers of the Prism Ship.
After the explosion, this Prism Ship was also damaged but not as severely as the one Marthus had destroyed. It was only slightly distorted, and the signs of life inside had not completely disappeared.
