[Today is a very meaningful day in human history. Finally, as the Mars underground facility opened to general civilians too, today the first 11 households started life on Mars. With Artificial Hibernation technology developed successfully 1 year ago, long distance space travel became possible, and settling hundreds of thousands of households within 10 years in the future is…]

At the successful settlement, executives clapped hands.

“Congratulations, Chairman.”

“Finally you succeeded in Mars Terraforming.”

Mars Terraforming.

Sent androids vastly and made a base and pierced an underground facility, succeeding in that, but sending people safely was the problem.

First, just the time arriving by shooting a rocket to Mars is 6~9 months.

Of course, now as scientific technology developed, reduced that period to within 4 months but,

People inside the spaceship must endure changed gravity too, and as they are not trained astronauts, there were many problems in various ways.

So able to load people, but that transport process was complicated so even wanting to send general households, the situation was unable to send.

“But didn’t this settlement become possible as the son succeeded in the innovative invention called Artificial Sleep technology?”

“Correct. Heard it was technology no one could solve for 30 years and only he developed it. How he solved that at once… Truly amazing.”

Today too my mouth corner drew an arc at the pouring child praise.

“Isn’t this all because the Chairman raised his son excellently.”

“Haha. Can’t ignore heredity.”

I shook my head laughing.

“No. Our son was so smart since young that sharing conversation together was difficult too. I did nothing. Only people here led the company stably well, so isn’t it so?”

“Oh my, aren’t we only following as the Chairman instructs.”

“Of course. If the Chairman wasn’t here, the company would have become dangerous long ago.”

As Gwangwoon’s bulk grew suddenly, Hyung-nim trembled in anxiety immensely.

Didn’t they say maintaining that weight class is harder than growing the company originally.

However, Gwangwoon met an unprecedented boom through the financial crisis, so if countries decided and beat it up, wouldn’t have been able to come to senses.

But fortunately passing such a transition period well, now maintaining size stably.

Should I say inheriting comfortably thanks to Hyung-nim paving the road well and retiring.

‘Furthermore Intuition’s power was big too.’

Life is a succession of choices.

What is the most advantageous choice, we cannot know.

But my intuition knows what is the best option so always sent a signal to me.

Thanks to that power, our Gwangwoon could grow one layer more beyond maintaining weight class.

Also saved pitiful ones dying of starvation, solved medical problems too, and now sent humans to Mars and pioneered a new settlement too.

‘So until I get old and die, I must stabilize the world and company more with this power…’

Moment thinking such.

“Ugh!”

At pain as if someone stabbing my back of head with an awl, I burst out a groan without knowing.

“C, Chairman!?”

“Are you okay!”

Executives jumped up from seats surprised.

I calmed them down laughing.

“It’s okay. Just because there was a brief headache.”

“Chairman. Then first, to the hospital…”

“Really okay. And you know. That thanks to this biochip I am also receiving health management for 24 hours. If there was a problem, would have found out quickly.”

Actually this sudden headache continuing was several months.

However the frequency was feeling faster gradually.

So tested even a few days ago too, but the result that there is no particular abnormality came out.

‘Why like this these days.’

Headache with unknown cause.

Surely is it because of my ability.

Just like my body rusting as I get old.

Is this ability also such a thing?

***

Jeong Se-yoon knows well what kind of ability father Jeong Jin-ho’s intuition is.

Father’s ability was clearly different from his ability.

Jeong Se-yoon also has intuition though, not activated often.

However, if father collects specific information, intuition activates immediately, and chooses through that.

Father’s intuition Jeong Se-yoon understood is such a thing.

Perfect God’s wisdom designing even the far future that cannot be caught up with scientific technology at all.

“Being able to send civilians to Mars this time is all thanks to you. Because you solved all what NASA and our GAIA were putting heads together and groaning about meanwhile.”

Kim Geum-ho patted Jeong Se-yoon’s shoulder saying good job.

“It’s all thanks to the research staff who suffered. I only helped.”

“Kuku. Useless humility. If you weren’t there, probably would have suffered 10 years more and barely made a prototype?”

Jeong Se-yoon smiled without words.

Although not expressing daresay, he also knows.

That if he didn’t give help, Mars Terraforming was pie in the sky.

“The reason for calling you has praising too, but there is one thing I want to ask.”

“Yes. What thing?”

“The projects you are in charge of these days. All related to space technology. Project contents also very flashy, starting from technology terraforming other planets not only Mars, even technology doing interstellar travel. Especially this was most impressive. Hyper Drive.”

“Because this universe is too wide to travel the universe at the speed of light.”

“Right. I also felt interested in the past so studied this field and know. However Hyper Drive is virtually impossible technology. To force reduce space and move, tremendous energy is needed, and even burning all planets in our solar system is insufficient.”

Always scientists lament like this.

Why can’t we be faster than the speed of light.

According to the Theory of Relativity, there is nothing faster than light in this world.

And this doesn’t escape that frame however scientific technology develops.

Because someone set so forcefully.

But just as computer programs do, an existence called a hole exists anywhere.

Precisely something like a bug.

“If twisting space-time around the universe, moving distance itself can be reduced. That was the existing Warp Drive theory, but if combining this with Hyper Drive theory, more innovative and fast movement will be possible.”

“That is easy in words. Even if no matter how genius you are, calculating all this will not be enough even giving hundreds of years.”

“So Artificial Intelligence’s power is needed. Of course, the problem is that even with current Super Computer calculation can’t be done all.”

Kim Geum-ho stopped talk briefly thinking the head would only become complicated if talking more here.

“You know well what our GAIA pursues right?”

“Yes. Solving global warming and saving humanity. That is GAIA’s role.”

“Right, and I won’t deny that you are the most important talent in our GAIA. Without you we probably have to waste tens, hundreds of years more. But looking at the projects you are concentrating on recently, seems having no interest in global warming at all. Doesn’t all contain advancing to space?”

That was the truth.

Things Jeong Se-yoon sent the project list directly to father and received approval were also all that field.

“Our GAIA’s establishment purpose is global warming resolution. So hope you also concentrate on that. Because if not other person but you do intensive research on this work, clearly will be solved faster.”

“Actually the solution method is simple.”

“Simple?”

“Yes. Just need to reduce 30% of the current existing population. According to what we researched already, Earth is supposed to heal by itself. The problem is the numerous population on Earth is making the naturally healing Earth sick continuously.”

“W, what on earth, w, what sound are you saying now. Saying to do population reduction!”

Kim Geum-ho felt his spine chilly for an instant.

Because it was Jeong Se-yoon looking at him too clearly.

“Seems you misunderstood something. I am not some crazy person, not saying to eliminate 30% of the population.”

“Then?”

“Just as migrated the population to Mars this time, terraforming several planets including Mars to send as many population as possible to other planets. Then Earth will be healed by itself.”

“….”

If meaning such, it is a relief.

Let out a sigh of relief, but Kim Geum-ho got goosebumps often whenever looking at Jeong Se-yoon’s pupils.

Appearance resembles his mom hitting celebrity’s cheek (very handsome), but those two pupils were looking at the goal he wants to go to accurately without trembling for a single moment.

The problem is can’t know what that goal is.

Wanted to ask, but it was to the extent fearful hearing that goal.

Should I say able to feel without listening.

A firm goal seized by that madness and belief.

Now Jeong Se-yoon is advancing only to achieve that.

Saying can’t know what on earth that is, and don’t want to know either.

***

If there is a pseudo-religious force called Contra Mundum.

There is bound to be a religious force following the real God ruling this world too.

Today too numerous people gathered at the meeting place wearing masks respectively.

Just like temple pillars are erected, and drawn with all kinds of murals, the origin of this place is said to start from a certain guild.

They had meetings periodically and performed religious ceremonies outsiders can’t know, and said divided roles respectively too.

Especially there is talk that people playing the priest role received high evaluation.

The surprising point is former US President Aiden did guild member life most enthusiastically, and is known to devote loyalty to the guild until before dying.

“Welcome everyone who came to the Trinity meeting today too. May the Absolute Being bless you.”

Although Trinity started from a guild.

Now became a giant religious group.

Chaebol, celebrity, politics, literature, science, etc.

If prominent figures, all are joined in this religious group, and a mishap occurring if not was one’s own share.

“Today a person to share good words with us has come.”

Tens of thousands of people saw a man standing at the auditorium at the moderator’s introduction.

Couldn’t know the identity as he is wearing a mask too like everyone here but-.

“Uh.”

Suddenly he took off the mask he was wearing and revealed his face in front of everyone.

“Wait, t, that is…”

Before long the inside of the temple was full of buzzing.

Everyone knows that face.

Rare genius.

Father of science to connect Newton and Einstein.

Star raising that reputation winning the youngest Nobel Physics Prize, Jeong Se-yoon.

But what is more important is whose son he is.

Isn’t he precisely Jeong Jin-ho’s son.

“I am Jeong Se-yoon.”

At his appearance thoughtless, disorder didn’t disappear easily.

“I know well that the atmosphere is disorganized like now due to many things these days.”

At the voice feeling soft and charisma, left and right became quiet soon.

“Especially know you are trembling in anxiety more due to questionable deaths occurring all over the world.”

Then someone shouted.

“Is that really the Absolute Being’s judgment?”

Jeong Se-yoon answered immediately.

“Correct. All that is His will and authority.”

“!?”

Buzzing became much bigger than earlier.

“But you have no need to fear. His judgment is falling only to those disordering the order of this world. However, absolutely no such thing will happen to you believing and following Him.”

“…”

“I know you were confused not knowing who the Absolute Being you serve is meanwhile. I will clarify clearly in this seat today. The Absolute Being you are serving is not an existence invisible to eyes. Precisely my father Jeong Jin-ho, he is precisely the Absolute Being who came down to the world with a human body and guides us.”

“…!”

That noisy hall became quiet again like a lie.

“The reason for revealing to you like this is because there is no need to hide anymore. Now He will use strength unsparingly for justice, for us He must rule. So even if there is any adversary, don’t fear. Don’t shake either. You just have to follow His will solely.”

Jeong Se-yoon knows that what is judging people currently is not the father but Helios achieved with the power of science.

However no need for these to know until such a thing.

The important thing to these was visible evidence.

“He is benevolent. Never betrays one following self. But His benevolence is never tied only to Earth. Soon escaping this galaxy will stretch out to the entire universe, and lives there will also worship our Trinity’s doctrine and the Absolute Being.”

If so how can make believers work like servants forever.

“Then the believers here will receive reward from Him and live eternal life. While ruling the universe together with Him.”

Just need to throw what they want.

“Wuaaaa-!”

“We believe!”

God is such a thing.

Not existed from originally, but a made thing.

And for that God to exist, worshippers must exist.

Foolish believers to offer life following fearing and worshipping that power.

“…….”

Jeong Se-yoon looked down quietly at believers raising hands high and shouting.

A philosopher said such words.

Religion is a political tool to control the public and stabilize the nation.

That word of hundreds of years ago was penetrating this future era now.
