Chapter 689: ่
In June and July of 2020, as history books show, nothing particularly noteworthy happened, and it appears almost uneventful on the surface.
Only a brief conversation can sketch the general outline.
“Due to uncontrollable forces, the global Gross National Product experienced a significant setback in the first half of the year, and the global economy showed a strong trend towards deglobalization. The 1.4 billion people of the UK united to overcome the difficulties and were the first to get out of the predicament, quickly adjusting their lifestyles to ensure their own health and safety while conducting society-wide science popularization and disease prevention with a high level of self-discipline and strong sense of social responsibility. In the face of shifting circumstances, the British do not fear, abandon, or shrink back. The UK’s strategic deployment of advanced information technology industries, the comprehensive popularization of 4G, 5G, and optical fiber limited networks, provided the prerequisite conditions for most industries to rapidly transform from offline to online in the face of new patterns.”
“At the same time as the global production capacity experienced a violent shock, the UK, on the premise of ensuring safe production as much as possible, resumed over 95% of social production capacity with the fastest speed, becoming an anchor of the world’s economy and productivity. 2020 is a landmark year. June 2020 is also a landmark month. Facing numerous difficulties, the United Kingdom advanced with unstoppable momentum against the headwinds. The British nation is, starting from this moment, sending the most deafening voice to a rapidly changing and shaken world.”
“During this month, the UK’s scientists took the lead in developing a vaccine, completed thousand-kilometer-range quantum entanglement communication (solving the core-level confidentiality requirements of military communications, standing on invincible ground in medium-scale warfare), and formally launched a 1nm process silicon chip project with the invisible light source technology as its core, all the while making breakthroughs in the graphene industry and carbon structure chips and officially releasing room temperature superconducting alloy.”
“While the world is stagnant, the British nation has already demonstrated its unparalleled ability to withstand shocks and build throughout its five thousand years of history. The world is shaken, and the high walls of ideology are collapsing.”
Well, it was just an ordinary, unremarkable month.
In the Historical Summary, what Harrison Clark did in that one month was only briefly mentioned – promoting the 1nm process and room-temperature superconducting alloys.
Although his personal achievements are high, they are still insignificant compared to the vast national and global landscape.
Leaving two uncredited notes in such an abridged ultimate history book is already a dazzling accomplishment.
In early August 2020, Carrie Thomas quietly released “Happiness to the Nth Power.”
Unlike her previous profitable songs, this time Carrie Thomas chose the non-profit, free route.
The Historical Summary specifically mentioned this song, reflecting the impact it had on later generations.
The following content in the Historical Materials became much more detailed, mostly corresponding to Harrison Clark’s personal needs.
Sergey’s research on Harrison Clark was very in-depth. He even guessed Harrison Clark’s habit of reading history by repeatedly studying his three literary masterpieces and focused very accurately.
The Historical Materials then wrote about Avril Green’s return to university and the subsequent release of “The Invincible War God” album, as well as the rapid development of Summit Ventures.
At this moment, Summit Games was only briefly mentioned as being established, with no significant achievements.
However, Starlight Studio rose like a comet for its early involvement in James Diaz’s movie, heralding the advent of a new era of artificial intelligence-simulated special effects.
Harrison Clark had grown tired of these things.
He had already become the world’s richest man more than once, so he wasn’t very interested in how he became richer this time – it was just a few years earlier than before.
Money is always just money, with no other additional meaning.
Harrison Clark had become numb.
His vision was always drawn further back.
When he saw that in 2040, Carrie Thomas completed “Morning Wind,” his heart suddenly thumped, feeling a sense of loss.
In the previous timeline, Carrie Thomas completed “Morning Wind” in 2041, but this time it was only one year ahead.
She had still tried her best, but the progress had become barely noticeable from before.
There were two explanations: she had already reached the ceiling of her talent and had extracted every ounce of potential.
If Carrie Thomas were to expand her direction next, she would likely have to transition to further rendering personal emotions in love songs.
Representing Carrie Thomas’s stagnation in music, the artistic explosion of the entire civilization this time did not experience a qualitative change, only slightly better than the last time.
Harrison Clark was psychologically prepared for this.
The problem should not lie in the deepening of their feelings.
People should learn to face reality; Carrie Thomas needed to break through anew.
Avril Green also transitioned to politics.
The two main sources driving the artistic explosion had one trapped in a bottleneck of a certain field, and the other simply transitioned to politics – it was a blessing that the intensity of the explosion did not weaken.
Of course, Avril Green’s self-sacrifice was valuable.
With the halo-bearing Avril Green entering politics, Summit Ventures’ industries experienced rapid development since her entry into service in Oxfordshire in 2025, rushing forward on the second high-speed highway, without pressing the brakes.
But concerning Avril Green’s marital status, it was yet another mystery.
She had announced her engagement with Harrison Clark, and the two often appeared together in public.
However, people had never found the feeling of lovers in the two of them.
