Chapter 643: Chapter 406: The Conditioned Reflex of Civilization (4000 words, seeking monthly votes)_1

After careful consideration, Harrison Clark decided to make bold changes.

He planned to increase the access to information for members of the Solution, try to delegate more work, and implement more detailed division of labor and layout.

He even considered gradually involving more people.

Of course, the people he would recruit later would not be given such detailed information.

The core team would remain at its current size, with six members.

After Harrison’s assessment, Eilon Elvin could be the first to be developed as the seventh member, while Chris Owen, Fat man’s father, and his wife Samantha could be the eighth and ninth members.

Other people would be selected slowly.

Teams always grow gradually over time.

Through the Eight Timeline, Harrison clearly sensed the power of teamwork.

Now that he had the capability and was holding a huge plan like the “Five Hundred Year Plan”, he would need to gradually expand the team to avoid wearing himself out, and entrust more detailed aspects to an increasingly large number of trusted professionals.

If everything goes well, Harrison would turn the Solution into a long-term, massive organization with its influence radiating to various aspects of society.

At half-past eleven in Carlisle time, six people appeared on the screen simultaneously in the encrypted software developed by Harrison himself.

Harrison and Carrie Thomas shared one camera, while the other four had one each.

Fat man’s eyes looked a little confused, still wearing his pajamas; he must not have slept well after working all night.

Avril Green, Rainer, and Julia Lambert looked energetic, though.

These people were all highly self-disciplined and usually got up around seven in the morning.

After checking the communication encryption again and confirming that it was foolproof, Harrison announced his decision.

He first took out a booklet with about one-fifth completed, about 300 A4 pages already organized: “Look at what’s written on the cover of this.”

Fat man squinted his eyes, “Master, your image is mirrored; I can’t see…”

Rainer had already read it, “Human Civilization 500-Year Development Plan?”

“Yes.”

As Harrison responded, he quickly switched to mirror mode.

The three of Avril Green, Rainer, and Julia Lambert were stunned by the name, buzzing in their heads.

Avril Green tentatively asked, “What is this?”

Harrison smiled, flipped open a random page, and read, “According to the original historical process, David Anderson will be inspired by the particle collider experiment accident in 2064 to discover the third law of underlying quark structure and prove the law within the following twenty years. According to calculations, after completing his doctoral studies at Stockholm University in 2061, Anderson already accumulated enough fundamental knowledge. He can be inspired in other ways to start this research three years earlier.”

“The proposed method is to contact his doctoral advisor Lindelof Svenson and instill the idea into him during discussions. Analyzing Lindelof’s personality, there is a 92.77% probability that he will bring up the conjecture as a divergent thinking exercise during his lecture and set the preliminary theory study as David Anderson’s thesis topic. According to the calculations, Anderson will be inspired multiple times during the project by Lindelof’s quoted speeches and complete the research by 2076 at the latest, with the law emerging eight years earlier.”

After finishing reading, Harrison continued, “The other content inside is similar to this, including politics, economy, military, technology, and every important node of the era you can think of. Following this plan’s operations will accelerate each important node in such a manner, making things that should happen occur earlier and those that shouldn’t be stifled in their infancy. If this comprehensive 500-Year Plan is executed strictly and to the utmost perfection, the ideal situation will double the human civilization’s progress in these 500 years.”

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment.

Rainer raised a question, “So does that mean humans can reach the 3000-year development level of your previous timeline in 2500 years?”

Harrison nodded, “In theory, yes. Of course, we can’t be too demanding for perfection, and I think reaching the level of the year 2900 would be good enough.”

Avril Green shook her head repeatedly, “This is too incredible. How is this possible? It’s not like driving a car where you can speed up by stepping on the accelerator. According to your logic, by the year 2200, there might be technology that would have appeared in 2400 by the original timeline. Wouldn’t the scholars who were supposed to achieve something in certain technologies in 2400 have nothing to do?”

On this issue, Rainer held a different view, “Not necessarily, science has never been an isolated existence but rather a chain. If a certain achievement appears earlier, there is still knowledge accumulation for future generations. Truly talented scientists would still have the opportunity to find new fruits on the road their predecessors have completed ahead of schedule.”

Harrison nodded, “Exactly, and the same goes for other fields.”

On this matter, Harrison had solid evidence, such as the increasingly powerful Sergey and Willian, the permanent thorns in his side.

However, Rainer immediately raised another point, “But if we change the future according to this plan, during the implementation, there might be errors in time and place. Every change to the future would create a new variable. These variables would enlarge year by year, not to mention a hundred years later, I’m afraid in two or three decades, these ever-expanding variables would evolve astronomical numbers of possibilities in probability theory. How could we control the future accurately?”
