I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD

Chapter 915: Chapter 551: Move Forward, Heart Fire_1

Half a day later, Glenney appeared in Captain Wil’s office.

He looked a bit haggard.

But Captain Wil felt a new energy on him.

“Glenney, what do you want with me? I’m very busy now, so please be brief.”

Captain Wil didn’t like Glenney.

He once had high hopes for this S-class Navigator, but after decades of seeing him not taking his work seriously, those hopes had been worn out.

Now, in the midst of a crisis, Captain Wil was quite busy and didn’t want to deal with the “notorious” Glenney.

He had even considered demoting Glenney from his position as chief navigator.

Unfortunately, every report Wil submitted was inexplicably rejected.

The commanding headquarters in Eridanus only said that they had other important arrangements for Glenney.

Seeing Captain Wil’s impatience, Glenney organized his thoughts and was about to speak.

Wil interrupted him again, “I just received a report from the human resources department that you attended Bonnie Westford’s funeral.”

“Yes, Captain Wil.”

Glenney nodded.

“Everyone thought that even if ninety percent of people would fall on the road to progress, a determined person like Miss Westford would be one of those who persevered to the end. Now that she has given up her life so easily, you are the main cause of her demise.”

Glenney did not deny it, “Yes, I know.”

“You don’t seem to feel guilty at all?”

Glenney smiled, “Guilt should be hidden in the heart. The living must carry some of the burdens left by the departed in order to have the strength to move forward, right?”

Captain Wil: “Hmm?”

Glenney shrugged, still flippant like before, but with something else added.

He said, “Not all sorrow should be worn on our faces for others to see. The philosopher once said that in the world of adults, nothing is easy. You just see me as not sorrowful.”

Wil wondered, “Really? But is this quote in the philosopher’s collection? How come I don’t know?”

“In Volume One, Chapter Sixty-three, Section One, line five of ‘Lover,’ the philosopher said so.”

“Is that so? Haha, your memory is impressive. But that’s just a fabricated story.”

“When Leonard Lewis wrote the book, the philosopher was still alive, so he must have seen it. He didn’t deny it, so it must be his own words.”

“All right, all right, I won’t argue with you. Just tell me, what is it?”

Seeing that Glenney already knew to repent, Captain Wil’s attitude improved significantly.

Glenney: “The current atmosphere on Heart Fire is terrible.”

“I know that much better than you do. Do you have any advice?”

Captain Wil became interested.

A common navigator only needs to memorize star maps and quickly calculate gravity line trajectories.

But a top navigator should also have the ability to lead the crew out of any predicament alongside the captain, regardless of the situation.

Whether it’s a natural disaster, the fog of war, or chaos originating from human hearts, they can all be considered dead ends.

Now was the time.

Without any further ado, Glenney pulled out a handwritten document from his pocket, “This is it.”

Wil looked down and read it, then asked, “You think this will do?”

Glenney nodded, “Yes.”

Wil took off his cap and scratched his sparse hair, “Let me think. This is a very risky idea. If everything goes as you hope, it would be great. But if things go awry, this could be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back, and nothing can be saved.”

Glenney shook his head, “Captain Wil, please trust an S-class navigator’s judgment. The crisis substitution method is the best and only choice. Please trust in the human will. Since the advent of the Philosopher, the human will has never disappointed. Nor will faith collapse with our generation.”

“Once we successfully test this on Heart Fire, our experience can be promoted throughout the entire Third Advance Fleet. The Third Fleet will then be able to smoothly reach the K Star. Eventually, we will complete our mission and return to the Solar System, our Homeworld. We will become heroes of mankind!”

“Even if I’m wrong, it doesn’t matter. You’ve seen it; the crew’s suicidal tendencies have become stronger and stronger, and more and more people are giving up their lives. Since doing nothing still leads to destruction, why not take a chance? It’s all or nothing!”

Previously, Captain Wil would be annoyed every time he heard Glenney use gambling terms, but now he felt an inexplicable sense of trust.

Glenney had changed.

He spoke with an unwavering confidence and an indescribable charisma.

After considering it for a full fifteen minutes, Captain Wil gritted his teeth, “Alright! Let’s do it! It’s all or nothing!”

Six hours later, a piece of “bad news” was announced among the senior management of Heart Fire.

Within a day, the artificial intelligence assistant system on Heart Fire would be completely shut down, leaving only basic communication functions.

The reason, none.

Wil only explained that it was due to unforeseen circumstances, suspected to be similar to the Quantum Virus encountered by the First Fleet. They were investigating the cause but had not found it yet.

In order to prevent Heart Fire from disintegrating like the First Fleet ships, the command decided to actively shut down the intelligent program and switch all positions to manual mode.

No matter what your current state is, and whether you think you can work or not, you must get to work.

This agitated the already anxious people even more.

“Gloomy” was not enough to describe the current situation; it was more like waiting for death with one’s eyes closed.

Don’t be kidding!

Everyone was already in a bad state, isn’t this like courting death?It’s not that humans can’t navigate in space, but for long journeys, only artificial intelligence navigation can ensure accuracy.

It’s only under extreme circumstances that a human navigator would be replaced.

At times, a navigator may seem unnecessary, but in certain situations, their role is crucial.

And who is our chief navigator?

Glen, that good-for-nothing fellow.

Do we really have any hope left in our lives?

Mediators and psychological intervention experts are nearly going mad with their workload.

Worse still, the psychological intervention experts seem to be gradually showing signs of strain.

Seeing the chaos outside, Will also starts losing confidence and approaches Glen again.

Glen retorted, “What’s done is done, like water that’s been spilled. Can you collect it back? If you change your mind now, things will only become more chaotic. Wait and see, in three days, you’ll know what I mean.”

The next day, everyone went to their workstations with trepidation.

The average work efficiency was a mere 17%, infuriatingly low.

However, on that day’s attendance evaluation, one person’s work efficiency score shocked everyone.

Glen.

100%.

Yes, the elusive 100% that no one ever seems to achieve.

People thought he would be lucky to hit 5%.

Someone asked the Examination Group if there was a mistake in their assessment.

The Examination Group responded with a video, without any emotion displayed on their faces.

The video displayed Glen’s working status.

In the scene, Glen was standing behind the command console with his hands clasped behind his back, swiftly issuing a series of commands to dozens of assistants.

The scope of his commands was massive, involving curvature coordinates, membrane stability, engine conditions, and spacecraft hull stability, among other aspects.

His commands were incredibly accurate, with an overflow rate of only 2%.

Under his efficient leadership, the navigation team’s average efficiency soared to 80%, leaving no time or energy for people to worry about the “future.”

Finally, the Examination Group spoke up.

“What you see here is Glen’s performance after working continuously for sixteen hours. After the recording, he continued working for another two hours before taking a break. He sets his own schedule, working eighteen hours a day and resting for only six hours.”

Everyone was stunned.

To maintain efficiency and prevent errors, Heart Fire’s original shift schedule was an eight-hour workday.

But this guy was relentlessly working for 18 hours straight, while maintaining a long-term 100% efficiency rating.

Is this the capability of an S-class Navigator?

Someone countered, claiming they had seen an S-class Navigator, but none like this.

Soon, Captain Will officially endorsed Glen’s credentials.

He said Glen’s command efficiency was several times that of an ordinary S-class Navigator.

So, this was our navigator’s potential all along!

Quietly, people’s confidence gradually grew once more.

Action speaks louder than words, after all.

As time passed and Glen’s prediction came true, peace returned after three days.

Seven days later, the Heart Fire, running on full manual mode, not only returned to its previous performance level but also showed signs of improvement.

By this time, people’s unrest had subsided.

Glen’s judgment was spot on.

The root cause of the panic and anxiety was the fear of encountering unknown dangers and adversity.

The greatest fear comes from the unknown.

But now that the unknown has become known and has been handled with ease, fear naturally dissipates.

Before long, Will’s strategy was widely implemented throughout the entire Third Advance Fleet.

With the success of the Heart Fire as a precedent, the Third Advance Fleet regained its peace after months of turmoil.

…

Star: “This guy is pretty good. After his death, his thoughts could be absorbed and cultivated as your assistant.”

Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes. Once they return to the Solar System, let Glen leave for the Eridanus immediately, so he doesn’t get trapped inside it.”

Star: “Mhm.”

The birth of Glenwise Thompson, the first person to overcome the mechanization effect of Song of the Wilderness through independent will, signified humanity’s ability to use Song of the Wilderness as a tool more definitively than ever before.

By 2498, the Third Advance Fleet, with the Heart Fire and nearly half of the fleet still intact, returned to the Solar System, bringing back over 83,000 Egyptian tribe cores.

At this point, the Empire had reached the scale of what was once seen in the 29th century of the previous timeline.

It was only two short years before the Dome would descend upon the Solar System.
