Chapter 890: Chapter 538: Resonance, Swan Song【4600 words, Thank you, League Leader Li Xiyao for your distant vision!】_2
In 2070, as the first Mercury renovation engineering ship arrived at Mercury, 71-year-old Carrie Thomas ended her thirty-year wanderings and finally returned home.
But she came back this time to go even further.
Carrie told Harrison that she wanted to take part in the latest Saturn’s Moon Titan Colonization Plan.
Harrison would establish a bridgehead base on Titan, with multiple capabilities such as scientific research, production, and manufacturing, just like the former Titan Research Institute.
At present, Titan Base is the largest human settlement farthest from Earth.
According to the plan, the first mass-energy conversion equipment will be completed on Titan in eighty years.
...
By 2200, the first-generation Dyson membrane, located between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, will be built by workers from the Titan Base.
Before 2250, the first Ambitious Voyager bound for Proxima Centauri will set sail.
The Titan Base that Harrison establishes at this time is to lay the foundation for the upcoming interstellar voyages and colonization.
Faced with Carrie’s sudden request, Harrison was taken aback, “Why go so far? Though Titan has relatively good conditions, it’s still riskier than other planets. Colonization and development is fraught with dangers. This…”
Carrie smiled and said, “I’ve spent thirty years traveling around the Earth, and I’ve missed the era of technology. Now I need to catch up with the trend, right?”
Harrison put on a serious face, “Stop joking, tell me the truth.”
Carrie: “Before, I said that I wanted to try incorporating the Grand Unified Formula into the melody.”
“Yeah.”
“I struggled for thirty years, traveling around and observing Earth while trying to learn from the scientific works you gave me. But I failed.”
Harrison tried to console her: “You don’t have to worry about it, when I first used it…”
“I never thought I’d actually master it.”
Harrison waved his hand, “I know, mainly to find the feeling, right?”
Carrie poked her finger on his forehead, “You understand again.”
“Of course. I’ve seen your interview before. You once said that artistic creation should be divided into two parts. One part is the accumulation and improvement of basic knowledge over time. The other part is the burst of inspiration. Both are indispensable. You already have sufficient basic knowledge, and all you need now is the sudden flash of inspiration, right?”
“Yes. So, I have to leave Earth. I need to experience the real quantum rules in the solar system that you mentioned, and find the perfect thinking mode for the Solar System People.”
Harrison: “But the current technology is still immature, and the mortality rate of members of the Titan Colonization Pioneering Team is over 30%.”
“So, I have to go. I can’t stand the idea that the greatest significance of my life lies in the song ‘Morning Wind’ alone. Although I don’t know what my state of mind was like in the past timeline, I never felt a sense of relief when I finished ‘Morning Wind.’ All I felt was a sense of loss. Actually, I hate the feeling of defining my life by writing just one song.”
“But don’t you have lots of other songs?”
Harrison denied it, but Carrie’s next sentence shocked him awake abruptly.
Carrie shook her head, “Not enough. Haven’t you noticed? I’ve been stuck since I first finished ‘Morning Wind’. For other types of songs, I only create quantity changes. Maybe these songs will have different impacts in the future, and they may have a cumulative effect, but they are just icing on the cake. My participation in your future career is far less significant than the qualitative change brought by the first time I wrote ‘Morning Wind’.”
Harrison: “…”
He knew Carrie was right.
If Carrie were an ordinary person, her achievements would be enough to make her proud.
She could live comfortably for the rest of her life on the merit list.
But obviously, she’s not that kind of person.
Carrie continued, “Strictly speaking, ‘Morning Wind’ is a creative idea you gave me. It’s not my achievement.”

Harrison remained silent.
“So, let me have a try. As you said before, this is the last chance. So what’s the risk? The Australian immigration plan is underway now, right?”
“Yes, the population of Australia has exceeded 1.5 billion.”
“These 1.5 billion people have been abandoned.”
“In a sense, yes. If there were superpower bacteria, they would be saved, but they can’t wait.”
Carrie insisted, “So, let me do it.”
Eventually, Harrison sent Carrie onto the spaceship bound for Titan.
Now she’s seventy-one years old.
She even booked a new ticket.
When the Second Transfer Space Station outside Neptune is completed, she will go even further.
But Harrison can’t leave for now.
Remain silent, the two part ways, not knowing when they’ll see each other again.
In their last iteration of spending time together, Harrison still worked hard, while Carrie, in order to realize her own value and add new wings to Harrison’s mission, chose to go on an early journey.
At this moment, Harrison realized once again that he had never actually controlled Carrie’s life.
She had never changed.
She was still the lonely, talented musician she had been when they didn’t know each other.
Many things have happened between them, and many years have passed.
But she remained as stubborn and tenacious as ever, sticking to her decisions and unable to be swayed by anything.
A month later, Harrison received an email from Carrie.
“You once said that the universe is infinitely vast, full of infinite possibilities. I believed you.
You also said that humans were born in the universe, grew up under the sun, and the boundary of human abilities is the universe’s boundary. So as long as we work hard, we will not fall on the path of progress.”
