Translator: 549690339
Harrison Clark realized something else, something he should have noticed but had completely unconsciously overlooked.
The generalized gravitational radius of the Solar System is 2 light-years, almost bordering Proxima Centauri.
When they reached the edge of the Solar System, they should have arrived at the Proxima Centauri System as well.
But they hadn’t, Proxima Centauri was still at the far end of the distant starry sky.
Moreover, the maximum flight speed of a Super Heavy Spacecraft is one-tenth the speed of light.
How could they have reached the edge of the Solar System, which was next to the Invader Barrier, within a month from Earth?
But they had done so and were completely unaware of this obvious paradox.
The Invader Barrier had been compressing the Solar System, and the closer it got to the Sun, the lower the compression ratio.
Moreover, this compression only targeted cosmic space within the gravitational field of the Solar System, cleverly bypassing humans and all their creations.
Because the cosmic background rules were quietly altered by the invaders, humans had developed cognitive impairments and their perception of space had become completely disordered.
At this moment, a faint buzzing sound echoed through the universe.
Harrison’s body trembled slightly.
He saw before him the massive spherical spacecraft that he had once considered a nightmare.
This thing suddenly appeared out of thin air in an extremely abrupt manner, almost the size of the Moon, giving him a tremendous shock.
Harrison took a deep breath, and with the Azure Star at full power, he hurtled forward.
He could have run, but he thought escape was meaningless.
Even if he escaped successfully, he’d be the only one left in the universe. What good would that do?
What he wanted was never about revenge.
“Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!”
He woke up.
He sat on the bed with his arms around his knees, his eyes unfocused and empty.
His mind was still digesting the vast amount of information he had just captured.
A sense of sadness welled up in his heart.
It was so strong.
He was on the verge of finding a way to break through the psychological infiltration.
But why was his heart growing more and more desperate?
Facing such an enemy was like peeling an onion.
Every time he thought he had peeled away a layer to see the essence, he’d suddenly discover another layer underneath that was even more tear-inducing, and he had no idea when it would end.
The Invader Barrier could even compress space and, from the foundation, alter the rules of the universe and human perception of it.
What level of technology did the invaders possess?!
Dealing with them was akin to playing chess on someone else’s chessboard.
If the main battlefield is a thousand years in the future, how can I defeat them within the rules they’ve rewritten?
How could that be possible?
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The door was knocked on.
Harrison looked at the time again.
It was already 9 o’clock in the morning.
It felt like only a short while had passed, but in reality, three hours had been stolen away.
He shook his head vigorously.
No, I’m back now, and I need to wake up quickly. My sense of time is all messed up.
He felt ridiculous, always thinking that he alone was sober while others were drunk, but it was all an illusion.
He opened the door.
Carrie Thomas grabbed his arm and urged, “Hurry, we need to get to the company. Ward Owen’s father is there. He wants to buy Summit Ventures, so Ward can inherit the Whale Group.”
“Oh, okay.”
Seeing Carrie’s face again, Harrison slowly calmed down.
No matter whether it’s now or a thousand years later, I rely on you.
It’s so good to know you..
