Chapter 878 -530: The Sun Will Rise as Usual Tomorrow【6000 words】_1
As he expected, exactly 811 people chose to stay.
Ethan Evans, Chris Owen, and Samantha were already close to Harrison Clark, familiar with his character, and well-acquainted with his abilities, even bordering on superstition.
Even if he said the sun was square, these people would first look up to check the sky. So convincing them only required a Black Hole Paper from Harrison Clark.
However, these unfamiliar scholars were different. They knew some of Harrison Clark’s achievements, but not enough to be certain.
Their understanding of Harrison Clark was superficial, solely derived from news reports and other people’s descriptions.
Their first reaction to the Black Hole Paper was to doubt, and then have their doubts gradually shattered throughout Harrison Clark’s explanation.

But even though the answers were becoming obvious, it was still difficult for them to accept facts like the Witton Black Hole, Voyager 2 bringing a formidable enemy, and the impending extinction of humankind.
Apocalypse, isn’t that a thing in movies?
Nowadays, the global energy crisis is increasingly severe, resource competition among major countries is escalating, geopolitical contradictions are becoming more prominent, and conflicts between different ideologies are intensifying. The shadows of war are looming.
The greatest threat to mankind at present is its own greed and the limitations of the Earth’s environment. Space matters are too distant.
Just tackling current real-world issues is enough to overwhelm politicians and scholars. There’s no time to ponder on the elusive aliens.
Even if a few people believe in alien threats and occasionally hold conferences and discussions, most people have never imagined drawing conclusions or taking the matter seriously enough to treat it as a mainstay theme across civilizations.
At this point, there were still doubts in everyone’s minds.
However, these 800-odd people were beginning to waver. They were slowly starting to believe Harrison Clark’s words, and they wanted to know how he would answer their doubts. They were even hoping that Harrison Clark would suddenly change his mind and tell them it was just an insignificant joke of his.
Harrison Clark’s documentary was just what these people needed to find their own answers.
The next morning, The Ninth Millennium began playing.
Powerful visual effects were more than enough to blur the lines between fiction and reality, drawing gasps of amazement in the private screening room.
When Harrison Clark informed everyone that he had completed this project alone in less than twenty days, people were even more astonished.
Compared to The Madman’s Conjectures Collection and the still unconverted black technology that hadn’t yet reached widespread adoption, many scholars initially encountered Harrison Clark’s tangible technological innovation in the field of film and entertainment.
He explained, “I used the first-generation Self-Domestication Rendering Engine in The Ninth. It’s a…um, a special effects engine with autonomous learning capabilities. You can think of it as a true artificial intelligence.”
Although it was something produced in less than half a month, The Ninth Millennium was still a cutting-edge, entirely CG-produced “movie-level documentary.”
In a sense, it was the first real work of Summit Studio, only involving Harrison Clark alone. The rookies in the studio were still learning how to use the self-domestication rendering engine with active learning capabilities. Not to mention James Diaz’s new film, they couldn’t replicate Harrison Clark’s feat of completing a “big production” on their own.
To speed up rendering, he also spent 80 million to rent a portion of the leading domestic supercomputer’s computing power for twenty days. He spent another 80 million to borrow the usage rights of a large-scale internet company’s cloud server for half a month. Excluding his personal time and technical input, the total production cost of his CG film was 160 million.
He managed to barely finish on time after rushing through most of the month.
In the film, Harrison Clark slightly embellished the names of people, places, and organizations from historical materials.
He changed the names of real-life individuals and renamed himself to Nico Ross a thousand years later.
This was to avoid revealing too many secrets.
As for how the remaining 800 people would guess who’s who, Harrison Clark didn’t care. He just let them guess on their own.
This ambiguous state was most likely to stimulate other people’s thinking.
Three days later, the 800-plus people who watched the documentary for three days were at a loss for words.
While watching the documentary, they reflected on their thoughts and re-digested the Black Hole Paper, and they began to believe in Harrison Clark’s judgment.
In this process, the lobbying efforts of Mendelson, Raulsen, and Ethan Evans played a significant role.
Area 52 was no longer a secret.
The statement that “Harrison Clark’s information comes from an alien spacecraft in Area 52” spread like wildfire – it was confirmed and indisputable.
Out of the 800-plus people who stayed, about a quarter were political figures, a quarter were business figures, and nearly half were researchers.
They were all intelligent and able to understand the implied meaning within The Ninth.
During private discussions among scientists, the general consensus was as follows:
“Mr. Clark is right.”
“The alien threat is objectively real, but humans are not entirely without hope.”
“More than 95% of the content of this documentary is very reasonable.”
“Mr. Clark’s analysis of science and social systems is both logical and imaginative.”
“Yes, not only is it a science fiction film, but it’s also a brilliant work steeped in both scientific principles and philosophical thought.”
