There wasn't much to think about for Cedric...
Even without Silas' suggestion, he was already thinking about how to introduce this concept anyway. He never thought about keeping all of this to himself.
Because he's already entertaining the idea anyway, Cedric already thought of a way. Moreover, he needed funds for his future experiments, so it's better to cooperate instead.
And that's why about a week later, after his conversation with Silas and the sudden influx of new recruits, Cedric found himself standing on a podium in front of the Chancellors and the Paragons, explaining how he created the runic formation that allowed him to refine the void into a source of neutral energy. He was also presenting his rough ideas on how to move forward with his experiments, taking advantage of the calm throughout the camps.
