March 7, 2075Dimitri and Makarov, having finalized their design, requested a meeting to present their project. The meeting request was approved, and currently, the meeting room was filled with attendees. Among them were not only scientists, but also government officials responsible for city affairs, along with entrepreneurs who were eager to invest in the scientists’ projects.With this meeting, Makarov and Dimitri hoped that their project would be approved and receive full support. They anticipated investors willing to contribute funds for this project so that it could be realized as soon as possible and start operating promptly, thus allowing the Earth to return to its green state in the near future.Seeing the large number of attendees, Dimitri whispered to Makarov, “Did you arrange this? Somehow, I feel like there are far more attendees than I anticipated.”“I have no idea. It seems these people were intentionally invited, perhaps there’s another agenda to be discussed,” Makarov
Previously, Makarov mentioned that he and Dimitri had submitted a terraforming project. But what exactly is Terraforming? Terraforming is the process of engineering or modifying the environment of a planet, moon, or other celestial body to make it more similar to Earth, thus suitable for human habitation or to support biological life. This process often involves manipulating climate, atmosphere, topography, and surface chemical composition. Examples of terraforming techniques include releasing greenhouse gases to warm the planet, creating a new atmosphere by releasing certain gases, or generating water through processes such as delivering ice asteroids to the planet’s surface. Terraforming could be the best solution to address the current world conditions already damaged by world wars. The damaged Earth can now be restored and greened again, and the environment and ecosystems will be as they were in the past.Makarov raised his hand, drawing everyone’s attention to him. “Esteemed gues
Dimitri elaborated on all of this because he himself had estimated how long the machine he designed would be able to work. With adequate materials and all systems functioning properly, he was so optimistic that this tool could be used in the long run.A businessman tried to direct their questions towards infrastructure integration. “How will this technology be integrated with existing infrastructure, such as buildings, power grids, and transportation systems?”Makarov responded firmly, “We will collaborate with infrastructure experts to design seamless integration between the terraforming machine and the existing infrastructure. This includes considering energy needs, communication networks, and water distribution infrastructure. We are confident that with good collaboration, we can create effective and efficient solutions to integrate this technology with existing infrastructure.”With caution, Makarov raised his hand, attracting the attention of the attending guests. With a calm yet
After Makarov returned to his seat, this time Sophia Reynolds introduced another scientist who wanted to present a new project aimed at restoring human life. It was evident to both Dimitri and Makarov that the person in question was Ferdinand Volkov.“Thank you very much for the opportunity. I am pleased to be one of the pioneers who present great ideas to advance and develop the world towards a better direction.” Volkov expressed, extending his left hand towards Makarov as a gesture of acknowledgment.“As mentioned by our colleague earlier, the world is constantly evolving, the population will increase, and population density will become a major issue for us in the future. If we just stand by, it will become burdensome and serious,” Volkov walked around the podium as if he wanted to see the faces of the attendees more clearly. Then, in a calm and composed manner, he continued his argument. “Therefore, before everything happens, we must make preparations, anticipate things that may ha
As the discussion progressed, there was a shift from initial admiration and skepticism to a more serious debate. Some meeting participants began to see that this project, although crazy, might have unexpected benefits.A technology scientist said, “I think we should consider the risks but also look at the innovation opportunities that can arise from this project. Perhaps this is a big step towards human evolution that can withstand the harsh conditions of the world.”“Exactly, you’re right about this. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a new breakthrough and will enable humans to survive in these world conditions.” Volkov still appeared confident, especially since there was someone who began to agree with his project.Although some agreed with Volkov’s proposal, most people still disagreed with the project. It’s not surprising that the idea met with much resistance from various attendees at the meeting. The atmosphere in the room became tense, and some meeting participants began to voice t
Two days had passed since the last meeting. There was still no decision from headquarters regarding the proposed projects, and it was unknown how long they would have to wait for the outcome. Dimitri, who had some free time, took the opportunity to watch his son. Xander was clearly undergoing military training with other young men, and an instructor whose name was familiar to Dimitri was shouting orders and instructions to them.As discussed earlier, Xander, his son, had chosen a different path than the one his father had taken. Since this was Xander’s decision and desire, the one thing Dimitri had to do was to respect that decision and support his son.The training camp had a large radius, with many types of obstacles and challenges for the teenagers to overcome. In this camp, they received martial arts training, weapon handling lessons, and more.“I didn’t expect that instead of becoming a scientist, my only son would choose to become a fighter. It’s completely unexpected,” Dimitri
March 14, 2075Several days had passed since the news about Kouland’s project claimed by Volkov, yet there had been no progress whatsoever. Volkov himself remained unreachable. Instead of dwelling on this issue, Kouland focused on completing his project, his thoughts unknown. Perhaps in the next meeting, he would introduce his perfect project and highlight the flaws in Volkov’s project, something that rightfully belonged to him. It was still unclear, no one knew what a Brysthiersk like him was thinking.That evening, as usual, Kouland delved into his project concerning bionic organs or body parts he was designing. This time, it was in the refinement stage, with much still to be fixed and thoroughly examined. In fact, he had already perfected his project, he could handle the side effects of the strange metal mixture he had created for his bionic project’s composition. Although he had perfected it, he deliberately refrained from immediately applying the formula, keeping it only in the d
Kouland acted quickly, he had to save his family from this situation. With determined strides, he left his workspace, Carlienne looked panicked, walking briskly beside him.“What’s happening here?” Carlienne demanded an explanation, still unable to grasp everything that was happening.“Volkov betrayed me.” Kouland muttered, suppressing his frustration as he answered his wife’s question.“What?”Briefly, Kouland explained, “He wants to take the remaining refinements of my project. Many combat robot units are being sent here to intimidate me. It seems he still doesn’t know the project is flawed, all he knows is that it’s incomplete.” Kouland paused briefly. “But he won’t get what he wants, I’ll defend everything even if it means dying.”There was a loud explosion, prompting Kouland to react immediately. He hurriedly instructed his wife, “Take our son and leave, I’ll confront them.”“This is too dangerous, you’re not a soldier, you can’t handle this alone.”“I know, I’ll just give you ti
