The liquid level in the tank decreased, and Harrison Clark stepped out.
As he put on his coat, he asked Daniel Thompson standing next to him, “Coach, how is my adaptability?”
In fact, he didn’t even need to ask. He already knew the answer.
Daniel Thompson forcibly calmed himself, “Not bad.”
“Just not bad? Is it that strict? Buddy, what’s my adaptability rate?”
Harrison turned to ask the white coat standing next to him who had just finished the report.
Wait a moment.” The white coat did not answer Harrison’s question immediately.
He was waiting for his boss’s reply.
This was a major issue. He could only decide whether to tell Harrison the truth with the leader’s approval.
Unlike the complicated procedures a thousand years ago, the administrative system of this era operated with astonishing efficiency despite the larger population.
As long as the matter you reported was important enough and could pass the system review, anyone could immediately have their voice heard at the highest level.
In less than thirty seconds, the top leaders made a decision and issued instructions through the artificial intelligence system.
The white coat quickly browsed through the message and put on an extremely ardent smile, suppressing his inner excitement, “Congratulations, Harrison Clark, your Coagulation Serum Adaptability is too percent.”
Harrison nodded calmly, “too percent? Well, that’s not bad. This means I can wear the Azure Dragon Armor, right?”
Several white coats and Daniel were all a little puzzled.
It seemed this guy didn’t really understand what a 100% adaptability meant?
While they were all so excited that they wanted to soar into the sky, the original person in question remained totally unresponsive, creating an unbearable contrast for them.
Daniel couldn’t help but add, “Before you, the highest record of human adaptability was 91.73%. You’re the first one in history to reach 100%.” As he spoke, Daniel’s voice started to tremble.
Harrison finally understood. It turned out the “not bad” Daniel mentioned earlier meant this.
He nodded suddenly and deliberately opened his mouth wide, drawing out his voice, “Ohhh, I see.”
Still, neither Daniel nor the white coats could handle his feigned shock.
Daniel: “That’s it?”
Harrison shrugged, “Or what? Should I set off some fireworks to celebrate?” As someone who knew the outcome, he honestly had no feeling for this so-called new record.
Nothing could change the fact that there was too little time left for humanity. There were some discrepancies between what Harrison had expected and the reality. In the end, he received many unexpected benefits.
He signed a contract with the World Government to assist their research.
In a certain sense, he became a lab rat, but without being dissected; he just had to provide some blood and tissue cells.
There were other terms in the contract, like his agreement to trace the origin of his genes for the World Government.
However, he wasn’t worried that the World Government would completely replicate another Harrison Clark according to his gene source.
Even twins wouldn’t be identical, let alone siblings?
Every recombination of DNA single strands to form DNA is a brand new creative process.
At the same time, he was not worried about being cloned himself.
The growth of life has its natural laws, which have not been broken so far.
Although Harrison had the value to be cloned, there was only one year left for this world. There was no time left.
From then on, he was technically a member of the research institute.
When he signed the electronic document, Harrison pointed to the clause allowing cloning and asked the white coat next to him, “Has anyone ever been cloned before?”
The white coat didn’t dare to answer directly, but Harrison’s electronic screen transmitted an experienced voice.
Yes. In recent centuries, the World Government has tried to clone people many times. The main cloning subjects were top scientists of certain eras.” Harrison was amazed, “Would people agree to that? Doesn’t it feel weird?” “Of course.”
“That’s a big sacrifice.”
“Didn’t you also agree?”
Harrison mumbled secretly.
He didn’t refuse because he knew the outcome beforehand. It was different from others.
The voice on the other side seemed to like chatting. While explaining the contract details for Harrison, it also revealed some secret stories that could never be found in the database.
Harrison was more than happy to accompany that and wanted to know more about “history.”
The more he listened, the more shocked he became.
For example, cloning had been attempted more than 100,000 times in the hundreds of years since the World Government was established.
However, the results were disappointing and tragic.
Even if the cloning subject was proven to be a top talent, their clone could not inherit their original body’s talent, and even mediocrity became a luxury. Countless deformities, diseased, twisted, and disabled persons with innately anti-human types emerged one after another.
The entire cloning project did not create any value, only wasted countless resources.
But what shocked Harrison the most was the dogged determination of the entire World Government leadership in seeking the tiger in the mountain despite knowing the potential danger.A thousand years ago, the contentious issue that people argued about for decades and dared not touch was trampled on time and again by these people.
In the history of these centuries, there have been numerous instances of leaders being widely accused by society because of the exposure of cloning projects and eventually committing collective suicide to quell public outrage.
But today, when Harrison Clark, who has a hundred percent adaptability, is born, the Leaders still decisively approve the restart of the cloning project. Harrison could feel the urgency and determination of that group of people. In order not to be wiped out, for the survival of the race, these people had long decided to spare no cost.
Their ideals were very iron-blooded, even cold-hearted, ruthless not only to others but also to themselves, and they didn’t care about being cursed for eternity.
Because in these people’s perception, if they did nothing, if they were always hesitant, when doomsday comes, they would definitely regret not being more decisive.
After Harrison signed the last name, the mature voice said again, “Thank you very much for Sergeant Harrison Clark’s help. Due to your outstanding contribution, you will be appointed as a special scientist by the Ancient Civilization Research Institute from today. Your citizen class will be promoted to Level 2. Your citizen credibility and welfare treatment will be greatly improved, and you will have more extensive information rights. Please continue your hard work, Sergeant Harrison Clark, and hope that we will meet one day.”
“Thank you.”
With a bow, Harrison felt full of satisfaction.
His information rights had been improved!
It was so worth signing the contract!
He couldn’t wait to rush back to the dormitory now.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and rest now.”
“White Coat” instructed: “Hmm, but because of the serum’s effects, your spirit will be in a state of excitement for the next three hours, your thinking will be much sharper than usual, and you will not know fatigue. But after three hours, you will fall into a deep sleep, and you will wake up only after ten consecutive ’ hours of sleep and return to normal. Please be sure to consume enough food before going to sleep, and do not remove the watch-like end of your personal brain, so that we can monitor your physical condition and avoid accidents. This is also our first time dealing with an object with 100% adaptability, and there’s not much experience.”
“Ok.” After listening to his nagging, Harrison quickly turned around and walked out of the room.
Daniel Thompson followed from behind, “I’ll take you back to the dormitory.”
“Ah? Instructor, you don’t have to do this. I’m refreshed right now, and I’m not so bad that I can’t even make it back to the dormitory.”
Daniel shook his head, “No, didn’t you just not pay attention? You’re no longer a recruit, you’re a sergeant. Just now the internal affairs department has sent someone to move your personal belongings to the new dormitory with the standard of a sergeant, which has better conditions, right next to mine. I’ll show you the way.”
“Oh, then thank you Lion.”
“You call me Lion? It’s pretty good, very intimate. When we get on the Battleship, I’ll have everyone call me that.” Daniel grinned broadly.
Harrison didn’t say much.
According to his original intention, he might not even get on the Battleship.
It would be good to live a few more minutes.
The two walked back to the dormitory area, Daniel took Harrison to the door of
the new dormitory, and the door opened automatically.
Before parting, Daniel suddenly patted Harrison on the shoulder with emotion.
“Harrison.”
Harrison’s whole body broke out in goosebumps.
“Lion, act normal.”
“Promise me that you’ll die after I do.”
“Huh?”
“Just now Professor Owen said that you could achieve the Azure Dragon Armor s greatest mobility in history. So you’re mankind s strongest soldier! So you must be able to live the longest. I hope someone will live to the end to collect my corpse, and it must be you.”
Harrison was dumbstruck.
But Daniel didn’t say anything else, and quickly turned his face away and returned to his own room.
Harrison clearly saw that when Lion turned around, his eyes were somewhat moist.
Watching Daniel’s broad back disappear into the lights and shadows of the room, Harrison thought to himself, Lion, you’re naive.
Do you really think that one strong single soldier can save the world?
You’re overthinking it.
Do you know what we’re facing?
Dude, they don’t even fire their weapons, just wipe out our entire spaceship fleet, okay?
It only takes them a blink of an eye to destroy humanity, okay?
Even if I wear the Azure Dragon Armor and move as fast as a flying monkey, it’s useless.
No matter how fast, can it cover the whole world as instantly as that eerie beam?
At this moment, the base’s evening bugle call sounded, reminding everyone that it was bedtime.
The evening bugle call was a military song that Harrison was very familiar with. He had heard it every time he came to the base before, so he could sing it now.
But he didn’t like this song, as he felt it wasn’t that great.
But this time, at the beginning of the prelude to the evening bugle call, Harrison was quite surprised.
The prelude to this evening’s bugle call was different from the last time he was here, it sounded somewhat melancholic.
About twenty or thirty seconds later, a crisp singing voice sounded.
Harrison was shocked.
Such a familiar voice!
The lyrics were even more familiar!
Damn it, I really ran into a ghost!
Isn’t this Carrie Thomas’s “The Fire”?
