Chapter 311: 219: Digging One’s Own Pit and Burying Oneself_l

Why did the World Government fail to form?

On this question, although many historians have analyzed from different angles, there is no conclusion that can be unanimously and widely recognized, so there is no clear record in historical materials. When the column is opened, a pop-up window appears with various papers and lecture videos.

But Harrison Clark did not look at any of them because he had already found a definitive answer.

Ever since he “died” in the BGM, more people began to listen to “Sharp edges fully exposed”.

This song was already extremely popular with a large number of listeners, even eighty years later it was still frequently looped.

In 2123, he defied all mankind with his life, and his audio clip was then selected into junior high school history textbooks worldwide, becoming required content for future generations to study his life and career.

When students first learned this section, they also had to listen to the second half of “Sharp edges fully exposed”.

This small change kept magnifying, resulting in almost every person in every generation listening to the complete “Sharp edges fully exposed” at least once during their growth process.

Then, those with compatible personalities and great potential easily became obsessed with this song, which would become one of their go-to tracks to loop constantly, even if it was not their favorite.

This phenomenon lasted until 2500 without weakening, and Harrison Clark’s accurate “prediction” of the advent of alien invaders triggered another wave of popularity.

This generation’s leaders from countries around the world listened to “Sharp edges fully exposed” quite often.

As the highly musically discerning Harrison Clark expected, this song could make talented people more confident, more paranoid, and quietly generate greater ambitions and stronger wills.

Originally, this problem was not so significant, and there was no substantial harm during the 2500-2520 period.

In 2500, the Solar System Barrier emerged, and the “Song of the Wilderness” that began to diffuse throughout the Solar System was just counteracted by “Morning Wind”.

By the end of 2519, as S Bacteria arrived and consumed the energy available for the invaders to remotely control within the Solar System Barrier, the “Exquisite Sound” that suppressed human emotions and caused strange habits stopped playing, while “Morning Wind”, which intensified human emotions and increased individual activity, flourished.

“Morning Wind” swept across the Solar System indiscriminately, supplemented by the targeted breakthrough of “Sharp edges fully exposed”, and when the two influences overlapped, disaster struck.

The early twenty-sixth century was marked by an excessive spread of information.

Classes still existed, and the gap between the rich and the poor remained inevitable.

In the era of extreme information technology, the slightest move by those in power could easily be magnified infinitely.

Those with lesser abilities, unable to fulfill their duties in their positions, would immediately become well-known if any weakness was exposed, causing the collapse of their family’s accomplishments over several generations.

Although classes seemed solidified, in reality, they changed rapidly and aggressively.

It was the classes that remained unchanged, not the people within them. It was like a game of musical chairs, with one leaving the stage and another appearing.

Those who managed to climb to the top of the ruling circles of various countries were all extremely capable.

Talented individuals could absorb the spirit of “Sharp edges fully exposed”, be inspired by it, and pursue more extreme self-achievement, further leading to class differentiation.

Outstanding politicians and political figures were already adept at stirring up emotions. Their emotions were also more susceptible to outside influence, leading to nearly inevitable effects from “Sharp edges fully exposed”. The ideologies of strong individuals, groups, and national races rose in all directions.

As a result, when representatives of different countries and races made decisions, it was difficult to avoid emotional judgments, even if they tried to control themselves.

This is why the World Government missed the best opportunity in 2520 to form at once.

Additionally, due to the fact that mankind’s victory over S Bacteria was too easy, and scholars quickly discovered humanity’s second phase of rapid evolution, with gene awakening continuously improving, an inevitable sense of arrogance emerged.

None of the major countries backed down from one another, refusing to concede their dominant positions, firmly believing that they were the saviors of the world.

Unable to coordinate and unify the ideologies of major countries, smaller ones were powerless.

The unifying ideology that Harrison Clark had painstakingly built using his personal achievements slowly crumbled.

Afterward, fierce competition between the countries of the world led to multiple wars.

Since there was a shared enemy, major countries maintained relative restraint and did not engage in excessive world wars. Instead, they continuously supported the spokesperson and experienced regional wars between spokespersons, as well as trade wars between major countries.

Third World countries were forced to become spokespersons, embroiled in wars, and their people left destitute.

Since ancient times, wars have never been gentle.

In these years of turmoil, the small countries that served as spokespersons could not avoid the disastrous consequences and suffering of their people.

The philosophy of the powerful nations was carried to the extreme, with the strong becoming stronger and the weak left in despair.

Even in 2687, when various countries had built a Dyson membrane together, skipping the phase of solar photonic wings, energy problems vanished once more, but the world’s situation did not change.

The nearly four hundred years of war history was unbearable for even Harrison Clark, the instigator of it all. He quickly skimmed over it, unable to calm down for a long time.

However, not all news was bad. Under the impetus of such intense internal competition, the technological advances of mankind accelerated once again. For instance, the old-fashioned mechas he had used appeared as early as 2650.

In between, there was an era of almost fifty years of pure battleship warfare, driven by the concept of completely contactless warfare.

However, in space wars, large battleships were more susceptible to becoming primary targets for attacks, and their mobility was limited, making their combat concepts overly rigid..
