Chapter 10 – Eureka Moment Part 1
Part – 1: Somewhere in the skies of new world – October 1, 2014 Earth Time, October 1, 2014 USSNWT/CSNWT (US/China Standard New World Time)
(Chinese POV)
One moment ago, a certain squadron made their way to a green hole in the solar eclipse near maritime borders of the People's Republic of China.
A moment later, this 'certain squadron' find themselves in a completely new world.
That certain squadron (the squadron that I am talking about) is the Chinese Zhu Hongjun (Vermillion Army)
The curious commander of the squadron, Commander Li Dang was simply amazed, but like any human there is on this tiny blue rock floating in the solar system, and like any scientist there is on the history of man – he believes that he must see first that he is finally in the new world, before he believes on it.
First, he looked down, on his RADAR. A moment ago, his RADAR is littered with ships… and a whole lot of them. Now there was nothing. There was nothing in his RADAR, except for his planes fying in the sky.
Still not convinced by his RADAR, he looked up into sky.
Once he looked up in the sky, he saw clouds…, and there are a whole lot of them. However, one fact separates the planet he once lived in and the planet he is now flying.
Earth has only one white moon.
This one has two moon – one is blue and the other one pink.
This could not be right. Am I right? I mean this could be just a fine example of hallucination.
He soon slapped his face to prove that this is just his imagination playing with him but after he slapped his face… he looked up again… and the two moons was still there. IT WAS STILL THERE!
Everyone knows Earth should only have one white moon, and anyone can barely see it at day, except only during solar eclipses or at special conditions. Even kindergartens know that fact.
That simple observation sealed the deal.
The transit was a success. The Chinese helicopters have finally reach their destination.
However, Commander Li Dang was still stunned at what he saw. The claims about the new world are indeed true.
He then look left and right to confirm what he sees and checks the RADAR if he was still on Earth but all doubts soon disappeared when he saw the two moons in the sky. Earth has only one, and he knows that.
Realizing that nine seconds have already passed since him and his squadron has entered this world, he then grabbed the VHF radio. He noticed that the radio still has that crackling sound on it. Well, that means only one thing.
Communication link between Earth and his helicopters still has not been terminated.
Wasting no time, he soon grabbed the handset of the VHF radio and placed it near his mouth. He then pressed the PTT switch of the handset of his VHF radio… and there it was – radio communication has been restored.
"Admiral Zhe Juang, this is Commander Li Dang of the Zhu Hongjun, transit was a success, I repeat transit was success," Commander Li Dang turned his head at the timer that was placed near the first officer. He soon turned his head back and went back to the conversation.
"Four minutes before expected portal closure," Commander Li Dang pressed out on the PTT switch to give way for anyone on Earth to respond to his call.
Back on Earth, Admiral Zhe Juang anxiously waited for any radio response from anyone from the Commander Li Dang. Soon, a familiar voice came out of the radio. It was Commander Li Dang. Without wasting any single millisecond, he then gave Li Dang his orders, with a creepy smile on his face of course, "Commander Li Dang, this is Admiral Zhe Juang… insert parameters T.6.4.R.A.F.6.8 to command console of the helicopter."
Amazed that radio communication still exists between him and the Liaoning Carrier Task Force, Commander Dang followed the Admiral's orders, opened the lid of a dial pad, and inserted all the parameters given to him. After that, a Russian map soon emerged in front of the window display of the helicopter. The RADAR began to scan the area for any geographical similarities indicated to the map.
One thing then entered his mind; how the name of the Chinese President, how did they get such an incomplete map.
Why is it incomplete in the first place anyway?
Many question entered through the commander's mind, but none of them bothered him right in this moment, except for one thing.
He knows he needs to get to some dry land and fast. He only has enough fuel to travel for 1300 nautical miles worth of distance. He has no idea where are they in the first place. He thought at first that land could be just somewhere in that horizon. However, the thought about probably he is in the middle of an ocean and the nearest land may still be a few thousand miles away lingers on his mind.
However, one thing confirms his worst fear.
The geographical features he used to match up with the Russian map is does not exist there. In fact, there were no significant oceans placed in the map in the first place.
His fear began to bother him.
Maybe this map was tampered.
Maybe they are somewhere in the incomplete section of the map.
Maybe they were teleported in a different world, and I mean different from the Russian one.
He soon reported his data, which is their location is not located in the map, back to base. Wondering if he could use any other means, the commander then made a statement about it back to the Admiral. "Negative, features don't match into the computer data, requesting permission to use any available means!"
Any other means… features do not match up with the map… something does not add up – those were the things running around in the Admiral's mind.
Thinking about salvaging the helicopter fleet, the Admiral has no choice.
He agreed on that 'any other means' option.
"Go ahead."
Hearing those words, Commander Dang finally realized he still has one more ace on his sleeve.
He still has a 600-mile radius medium range RADAR.
Commander Dang immediately pressed a button into the command module on his Mi-26. Soon, a green screen began to appear in a monitor in front of him. However, there is one problem about this alternative. He needs to wait for a few minutes before RADAR sweep could even begin.
Finally, two minutes later, two distinct figures began to appear in the radio. It was a RADAR signature indicating a landmass.
"Admiral we have found two land masses, one is to the northwest of our present position, 420 nautical miles from our present position, while the other landmass is to the southwest of our position, 425 nautical miles from our position. Which landmass should we head into, commander?"
"How much fuel do you have Commander Dang?"
"We have at least enough fuel to fly for a range 1300 nautical miles, Admiral,"
"Very well, proceed north. We will get the northern spot. That is all!" That was the last words heard from the admiral. Soon the radio connection between the Admiral and the Zhu Hongjun squadron was terminated. The eclipse on Earth is over and along with it; the green wormhole was closed.
"We are now alone here, well then, let's fly northwest!" the commander of the Zhu Hongjun soon tilted his helicopter to her larboard side. After that, her helicopter soon makes a turn to the left. Moment later the commander locks the relative bearing of the helicopter to the Northwest, causing the helicopter to fly in the northwesterly direction.
(American POV)
Another aerial squadron made their entrance to this brand new world.
This time it was the American bluebird squadron.
Ten seconds after the Chinese made the first transit into the new world; the US fleet immediately followed the Chinese squadron into the green wormhole.
CSM John Giles, the man who was piloting a CH-47 Chinook already knew what would happen next.
He has reach this world once. In fact, he is the one who discovered this world during a certain total solar eclipse four years ago. He is even expecting that somehow, he will emerge again in a large city.
However, he was wrong.
The moment the squadron exited the wormhole, the only thing they saw was a vast ocean with nothing on sight.
He was completely shocked – but did not let that shock take him over.
He wants to complete this mission at all cost.
Moments later after they entered this world, probably five seconds later, he looked up in the sky to confirm something.
There were at least two moons - One pink and one blue – and he knows already that the world he encountered a few years ago has two moons. At least, he is still on the same world.
Knowing that he has found himself back again on this mysterious and strange world, he knows that they need to maintain secrecy about all the information they manage to gather (not knowing that the Chinese has far more knowledge than they have).
In order to maintain that level of secrecy, Giles immediately pressed a switch on his command module to signal all the helicopters and the planes in the squadron to maintain radio silence. Maintaining a strict and minimal radio silence, Giles immediately switched his radio to a special VHF channel.
He then made a thought that he has no idea about where is he. After all, the ocean is a featureless terrain. Like the Chinese, he has one, and a very important, dilemma. He needs to find land and fast.
He needs RADAR, and fast!
However, this air fleet only has one RADAR scanner and that RADAR scanner was a built in 1000 mile radius long-range RADAR scanner. That built in scanner was placed in Bluebird-08 helicopter.
Therefore, he picked up his short-range VHF radio and established communications with Bluebird-08 commander. Without wasting a single second, he pressed and stated a single command to a certain helicopter in the fleet. "Bluebird 08, this is Bluebird 01, deploy RADAR scanners,"
"Yes sir!"
Then, as soon as Giles heard the confirming report said by the commander of Bluebird-08, he then placed back his VHF radio back to its container and turned it to standby mode.
However, one more thing bothers him. He wants to find the latitude as well as the size of this planet.
Luckily, his helicopter is equipped with onboard computers, which has the ability to solve tough trigonometric problems.
Commander Giles then turned on one of his equipment. After it was turned on, he then looked the crosshairs into a certain point in the ocean down below and at the same time at the horizon. Moments later, he then pressed the trigger, launching a small transmitter into the sea. Less than 45 seconds later the equipment then made impact into the sea and less than ten seconds later, he launched again six more transmitters into the sea, with varying distances and directions, in which, a minute later, the equipment made impact into the sea.
Finally, after waiting, the coordinates of the location of the helicopters as well as other data regarding the planets size soon emerged. The entire planet was thirteen percent bigger than Earth. Soon, after learning about the planet's size, he then used it to determine his latitude. They are about 21 degrees in relation to the planets north pole, or 21 degrees latitude.
However finding their longitude is almost impossible. First, they need to familiarize the heavenly bodies up in the sky. On Earth, this is easy because we have been observing the heavenly bodies for like thousands of years but Giles does not have 10,000 years to learn about the stars. He just arrived here, and his fuel is running out.
"Twenty one degrees latitude, so were close to the equator huh. Hey, Bluebird 08, do you have any readings there regarding about our location. We can't land to the sea you know,"
"Yes, sire we have found two landmasses in the RADAR. One is to the northwest of our present position, 420 nautical miles from our present position, while the other landmass is to the southwest of our position, 425 nautical miles from our position. We also found some islands in the RADAR but all of them are small,"
"Landmasses in less than 500 nautical miles, that reassuring to hear indeed," Giles was simply happy that land is just close to him. Soon, anime tears began to pour out in his eye, causing the man on the other line to wonder about the mental condition of his commander. Soon the conversation turned back into serious mode. "Have you found the Chinese squadron? Where are they?"
"We have found multiple fast moving targets to the northwest of our position. They are the Chinese, and they are moving directly to the northwestern landmass indicated by the RADAR. They are approximately nine nautical miles away from us,"
The Chinese are heading north – so they need to go somewhere else – Giles have thought he needs to go somewhere else. He needs to land somewhere far from the Chinese and there is one way to go… well that was what the Commander of the Bluebird Squadron was thinking but first he needs to confirm back the data he just heard from Bluebird-08.
"One of the landmasses is to the northwest of our present position, 420 nautical miles from our present position, while the other landmass is to the southwest of our position, 425 nautical miles from our position, please confirm if my information is correct!"
"It is correct, CSM Giles," the voice in the radio said.
"Thank you, RADAR controller. Very well then, we will be heading to the landmass located to the southwest of our position," Giles then turned his helicopter into the southwesterly direction. He then locked his relative compass into the direction he has chosen.
Soon, everyone in his squadron then followed his lead and their destination, the land in the southeast of their direction.
Part 2: Location unknown – October 5, 2014 Earth Time
Somewhere in Earth, something big is happening.
This is a rare occurrence in history. The historical event is taking place in the skies no one really knows. In the sky, there are two presidential planes, presidential planes from the two richest countries in the world, flying in the sky. One is bearing the red flag with five stars – which is the Chinese presidential plane in which the Chinese President, President Xing Jiangping, as well as his most trusted general in the military, Admiral Zhe Juang is onboard on that plane. On the other side is another presidential plane bearing the blue outline in her skin, with the insignia of the United States government imbedded on her tail. This plane is Airforce one, the presidential plane of the United States of America. Inside her is the President of the United States, President Roberto Omaba, together with his companions like the Secretary of the State, the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense, anxiously waiting for what the Chinese is trying, what the Chinese is planning in this new move of the superpowers.
Flying in formation, the two planes, separated only by 200 feet of space between them, is flying in a tight quarters. The two planes are flying so close, and at the same speed and at an altitude of 10,000 meters, that one could see the outlines of each other's plane, as well as the details between the two of them. However, there is a general purpose for this close formation. A top secret and highly classified meeting between the two head of states is going to take place and their topic - the new world.
"It's truly an honor to be invited by the President of United States in such an occasion. However, Mr. President, why do we need to get flying? We can talk anyway somewhere in secret in China. Why come here in the middle of nowhere?" the President of China asked the President of the United States.
'It's simple; I just wanted to do it. Do I need reasons to do such things?" the President of the United States grinned in front of the camera.
"You're such an extravagant man, President Omaba. Anyway, I am not here to talk about how extravagant you are. Can you tell me what do you want with me? Do you want to talk about a cooperative expedition to this brand new world?" the Chinese President said.
"A cooperative expedition, might as well. You are right President Jiangping; let us not waste time here. This is my proposal; I want to share with you whatever territory we might gain in this brand new world. You get your share and I get mine. I wish to share with you the eclipse portal. Well, it might become some sort of a cooperative expedition, however, once you manage to reach our new borders, territorial disputes are not tolerated. The two of us are also required to pass any information we might gain in this new world, and have a collaborative research about this new world. If we do a collaborative research between US and China, we might hasten up progress in learning this new world. What can you say President Jiangping?" the President of the United States of America said. The Chinese translator soon approached the Chinese President and told him about what the American President just said.
"Indeed that is a nice offer, Mr. Omaba. I have no problem with sharing with you the eclipse portal. I also like your collaborative research but let me think about it. However, I find the 'you get your share and I get mine' part somehow disturbing. Are you telling me that we should make a colonial race into this planet? Mr. President, just what are you planning and what are you trying to gain here in this conversation between the two of us?" the Chinese President said. He then looked seriously to the man in his monitor.
"What am I thinking, nothing in particular. By the way, President Jiangping, how did you manage to learn this secret? Did you violate our espionage rules and infiltrate our military infrastructure in order to get such confidential files?" the President of the United States said.
"How did we manage to get our hands on such excellent piece of intelligence? The answer is quite simple Mr. Omaba however, it's a state secret but I will give you a hint – we learned it right on the spot four years ago." The President of China said.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Regarding about Russia, how much did you know about the Russian program in this new world. Would you care sharing me some bits of information?" the American President asked.
"If we talk about the Russian program and this brand new world, I can only say one thing – Russia is far ahead of us. I heard in my intelligence that Russia already has a decent settlement in the area. However, I will not leaked more information about that. Russia after all is my ally and I do not wish to mess up relations with them. By the way, I wish Russia could be talking now here with us. They know more about this planet more than we do. How about next year, can we establish some treaty between the three of us? I bet Russian infrastructure in that planet is reliable. Wasting precious helicopters is bad enough to the economy, don't you think?" the Chinese President said.
"I agree with you, well then… in our next conference, we shall start talking with the Russians too. They might be of a great help here. Anyway then, about your question, yes I intend to race with the two of you and all the other countries who participate soon in the future. I bet the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, the Indians, and the Brazilians might learn this secret on way or another. Once they do, they would come rushing into that world," the American president said.
'Is that so, well then, now that it has already been decided, let's get out of here! Someone might be monitoring us from the skies. I still have more work waiting for me back home," the President said.
"Well then, let's get out here," the Chinese president said to the US president.
Then the meeting was over. It was short but it does not matter. After that, the two planes began flying unto different courses, leaving the close 200 feet distance formation. With that agreement, the Chinese – American expansion agreement into the new world has finally been done.
Part 3: Brussels – October 10, 2014
Europe, then Belgium, then to Brussels… more and more things are coming out from the boxes. More than a week after the great incident between China and the United States, which almost lead to World War 3, a top-secret assembly soon took place attended by the most powerful nations in the European Union. These attendees are the head of states of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Poland.
Another rare event in history happens. Head of states of the leading countries in the European Union is here. However, almost like a miracle, the head of states managed to hide their conference from the prying eyes of the media, except maybe from intelligence agencies from the superpowers: like the United States, Russia, and China. There is only one objective into this meeting, to discuss the threat the United States is becoming and what are the Russians, the Americans and the Chinese are doing to be exact and why are they using their navies as well as invest so much on something the world (and I mean the rest of the world) has no idea.
After all the Heads of States soon entered the building, the hosting head of state, the Head of State of Belgium requested all translators to get out of the room. At first, the Italian Prime Minister and the British Prime Minister, at first made a protest to the man incharge of them. However, the Head of State of Belgium soon gave a piece of paper into the other heads of states.
"What is the meaning of this Prime Minister Hacques, why are demanding that our translator should be removed out of this room? I can only speak Italian and I have no idea about how to speak in Dutch, French, or even English!" the Italian Prime Minister said. He is Prime Minister Luigi Pierro, the Italian Prime Minister. He is already on his late 50s, but still he is a proud Italian leader, even though he is already bathe in controversy.
"I don't know what did the Italian Prime Minister said, but I agree with him. We need our translator because there are so many languages here inside this room alone that it makes my head hurt," the English Prime Minister protested. He is Matthew Sheffield. He is still in his mid-40s and is a proud head of the government of the United Kingdom. Soon, the German chancellor stood up. His name is Gerald Hildebrand and is 45 years old.
"I agree and I know that language is major obstacle for us here in this room. I know that, but let me explain to you fellow heads of states that the discussion we are about to discuss tonight is something too sensitive that no one except my fellow heads of states are only allowed to know about it. Now, can anyone please wear there headsets and listen to it," Chancellor Gerald Hildebrand said. After that, he soon wears his headset and switch on his microphone.
"My fellow heads of states, please wear your headsets. We shall use these headsets in this discussion." The German chancellor said. Immediately after the Chancellor said that, the speakers of the headset soon translated what the Chancellor said in their respective languages.
"This is quite excellent, very handy indeed. Very well then, let us start this discussion; I don't want to spend too much time in this seat." The Swedish Prime Minister said. He is Prime Minister Livvar Charlesson. He is the oldest man among the heads of states present in that affair.
"I agree with him. However, before I start this conference, I wish the United Kingdom should swear to us not to spill anything we have discussed inside this room. We all know how close the British government is towards the American government, so as part of the European Union and one of the major members invited in this meeting, I humbly ask you sire not to tell them anything we have discussed today. Do we have an agreement, Mr. Prime Minister?" the German Chancellor made a request to the British Prime Minister.
"I can't promise you that, Mr. Chancellor. The British government and the American Government are close allies and thus we cannot promise that everything that everyone have discussed inside this room would leaked out. However, I shall think about it," the British Prime Minister said, gaining a sigh to the German Chancellor.
"I don't know if we can trust you about this, anyway as what the Swedish Prime Minister has already said it. We cannot waste our time here," the German chancellor soon grabbed a remote and pressed a button. Soon, a large projector emerged in the middle of the table. It then showed everyone inside that room a certain set of files and documents created by the German military.
After that, the German Chancellor soon showed a video taken by the Luftwaffe, through RADAR, a year ago. Soon, the French President raised his hands and asked the Chancellor. He is Loire Charles Jacques. "What are we supposed to see in that video? All I see is the Russians and the Americans trying to start a World War but they failed," he said.
"Look closely, and do you see something peculiar?" the Chancellor asked.
"The center of the RADAR, why are there three A-50s flying calmly circling the area when there are some Russians and Americans planes doing some dogfight of their own. Are they monitoring something or is there an ulterior motive behind the move?" the Spanish Prime Minister said. He is Prime Minister Juan Gonzales.
"Sharp thinking Prime Minister Gonzales, and as you can see, this Russian A-50s are doing something we do not know. According to our computer sensors, there is a large radio interference in the area. We do not know what it is except that it is some sort of transmission occurring between the Russians and a third party. More to that, look at the other side of the RADAR video and as you can see, a large Russian aerial formation is present in the area circling the A-50s. Further to the left, squadrons of American planes and helicopters are trying to enter the area. We do not know what they are trying to do but when I asked the Russians and the Americans to release the radio transcripts, both sides refused on giving us the radio transcripts. On final analysis of what this video is showing us is that it seems that the Russians are trying to defend something by blocking this helicopter formation by the United States, while the United States is trying to break through the Russian formation," the Chancellor explained.
"So are you telling us something fishy is occurring there, well I already suspected it though," the Prime Minister of Netherlands said. He is Prime Minister Wil Helder.
"I see, so there is something the United States is not telling me after all huh," the British Prime Minister made a sigh. After that, he then turned his head into the German Chancellor. "So what can you tell us about this, Mr. Chancellor?" he asked.
"Actually, I'm trying to ask you fellow European Union members to make a cooperative pact. The objectives of this treaty are one – we should investigate America, China, and Russia and their peculiar activities. We would also wish to investigate and study everything behind the US – China confrontation in the East China Sea less than two week ago," the Chancellor said.
Soon the Polish President, President Waldem Lubin, then raised his arm. Noticing someone has raised an arm, the Chancellor then turned his head into the Polish President and asked nodded. Soon, the Polish President raised down his arm. "Mr. Chancellor, if I heard it right, you said 'objectives'. Is there any other objectives you want in the treaty we are asking to the rest of us here?" he said.
"You are right, President Lubin, there are more objectives there is in the treaty that I am proposing to all of you. I suggest we should combine our scientific efforts as well as our technological researches. Finally, I am also asking the aide of France and Britain to help us with the intelligence gathering regarding about missing military hardware as well as strange activities by the United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the People's Republic of China. That is all!" the German Chancellor said.
"I see! I see! Mr. Hildebrand, are you planning to take advantage of the European Union? As far as I can see, you are just trying to dig in and discover what the Russians, the Americans, and the Chinese are trying to do. You are trying to take advantage from other nations in order to get what you wish. Tell me Mr. Hildebrand, what are you trying to gain from this agreement?" the British Prime Minister said.
Hearing those words from the British Prime Minister, the German Chancellor then made a thought that the British is trying to ruin what he is trying to accomplish. Yes, he wants to gain something from this secret talk. Yes, he is, and it is to elevate the German statute in the whole of the European Union. After all, he is one of those guys in Europe who were aiming to unite Europe not as union full of sovereign states but as a centralized federal state similar to the Russian Federation, with of course the Germans on the top of the game.
However, those words from the British Prime Minister are quite shocking but he was expecting it right from the start. Secretly, the Chancellor made a small grin. Trying to hide his emotions, the Chancellor immediately switches from a grinning expression to poker face in less than a second. He then showed his face into the British Prime Minister and look at him seriously.
"Are you saying I am building an empire? Well yes, I am trying to build a United European State, a nation for all Europeans to live where prosperity and wealth is evenly distributed to all member states and where poverty in Europe is just a thing of the past. However, convincing every member of the European Union to establish a combined European State is almost impossible. I guess it would stay into something like a dream. Anyway, back to the question, the question you are asking, yes, I am trying to know what the Americans, the Russians, and the Chinese are up to. I want the whole of Europe to know their secret so that we in Europe would know it, preventing them on monopolizing such pieces knowledge from us," the German Chancellor said.
"Well I guess you have a point. Since the German Intelligence Agency is not as effective as the intelligence organizations in France, I guess I could help you on this one. However, let me tell you this, if you ever do something funny, I as the French President would personally give you your sentence," the French President said.
Looking at the German Chancellor, the Prime Minister of Belgium soon remembered what the German government has been doing in Europe in the past ten years. Even though the unification of Germany has hard enough for the German economy to deal with (that is West Germany dealing with the debt-ridden East Germany), Germany has been trying to improve the European economy by slowly, but surely, providing aide to other debt ridden and bad economy countries like Spain and Greece.
Realizing that, the Prime Minister of Belgium stood up and released his speech. "I totally agree with German Chancellor. I think there is something the other world powers have already discovered something great. I guess it is time for us to spring in to action. The hatchet and the wounds of world war two has long been gone but the memory still lingers. Mr. Hildebrand, if you say that you are trying to create a brilliant future of Europe, then I have no choice but to support you," the Belgium Prime Minister, Prime Minister Jean Hacques, said and raised his arm afterwards.
Soon, the Swedish President, the French President, the Polish president, the Netherlands' Prime Minister, the Spanish Prime Minister, the Italian Prime Minister followed Prime Minister Hacques lead.
"Okay, since everyone inside this room has managed to hit to a certain decision, then United Kingdom before we agree in this new agreement, we need to assure our national security as well, so I propose that every member states inside this room should agree that each of us should deploy only 20% of its available services into this treaty. That is all." The British Prime Minister said.
"Very well, I agree with that. Limiting our services to 20% is indeed enough. Are you satisfied Mr. Sheffield," the Chancellor asked.
"No problem!" the Prime Minister soon raised his arm. Seeing the British Prime Minister raising his arm in agreement, secretly he then showed a quick grin.
"Very well then to our next topic," and soon the meeting continued. There discussions are about financial and economic topics as well as strengthening the bond that exist between the European countries. Everyone inside that room has talked about many things and has made many decisions. Three more hours later, the conference was done. When everyone soon made their way out of the building, the German Chancellor then look at the European Union flag. He then made a thought that step one of his plan, a grand plan regarding about the unification of Europe, was flawlessly completed.
"One day, Europe shall become one!" and then he leave the room with his belongings in his briefcase.
Part 4: China Settlement – October 2, 2014 CSNWT - China Standard New World Time (October 13, 2014 ELT)
It has been already twelve hours after the Chinese had made landfall into this brand new world. Finally, after years of preparation, the Chinese Zhu Hongjun (Vermillion Army) has finally reach the new land. Without wasting time, the Chinese, after they made landfall, immediately launched their weather balloon into the upper atmosphere.
Now fourteen hours later, even though it was still early in the morning, the former commander now Governor General of the new Chinese settlement woke up to start his work. With their helicopters and tents serving as temporary base of operations, the commander soon reported in to his office.
A few minutes later, noticing that their commander is finally up, the chief scientist of the Chinese vermillion program immediately reported. Her name is Fang Ming Wang - a female, 26 years of age, and a loyal supporter of the Communist regime in China. She is also regarded in the international scientific community as one of rising stars in the Asia Pacific region in the realm and scientific, technical, and mathematical prowess. Her job here is to conduct her studies regarding about the entire planet itself and her job right now is to report the data findings gathered by the weather balloons.
"Dr. Wang, reporting for duty!" the woman made a salute.
"Do you have any information about the geographical features of this new world? I wish to know everything right now. I want to confirm if our instruments are the one that malfunctioned yesterday, or are the Russians sabotage the map or something more sinister than that," the new governor general said.
"I confirm that there was no instrument malfunction yesterday sir. Yesterday, according to our weather balloon data, we have managed to document a geographical feature similar to the Chinese east coast. We find out later that this location did not match to any Russian maps we have. We later found out that this map bears an eerie similarity to our world and if we compare our present location in our readings and the map of our planet, we found out that we are somewhere near Shanghai. Although it could be true, we can't say yet that the Russians have manage to tamper the map, because we also found out that this world is 13% bigger than ours, and maybe they haven't manage to fully map the whole world yet," the scientist said.
"I see, very well… then what about your report, do you have something to say?" the governor general asked.
"I already said it sire! That is all for my report!" the female scientist replied.
"I see, well then, thank you Dr. Wang!" soon another man entered the tent of the governor general of the new settlement. He was Engineer Lei Jun Tan – a former nuclear weapons engineer of the Chinese Nuclear program and how head of the Physical Research Department of the Chinese Settlement in the new world.
"Engineer Tan, reporting for duty!" the man made a salute.
"What is it, Engineer Tan?" the governor general asked.
"Governor General, we have successfully converted two of the Mi-26s to become a new housing and cooling system for the new nuclear reactor. We have also prepared everything we need to start the nuclear process. Orders sire," the nuclear engineer asked.
"Do have a new and stable power grid for the nuclear reactor to operate on?" the governor general asked.
"Our power grid isn't that big yet, however, if we can start generating electricity from our power plant, then can now switch off the helicopter engines, thus saving fuel. We also have the main wirings ready. We only need your permission to turn it on, governor general!" the nuclear engineer said.
"From the data I saw early this morning, I found out that we are consuming a lot of oil, and we need to turn on our RADAR and radio soon. Okay then, turn on the mobile reactors, and switch it to 15% output," the governor general said.
"Yes governor general! Now, I'll take my leave then!" the nuclear engineer soon made a dash out of the governor general's tent and back to the power plant.
"Hayyy! What a hasty man that engineer is. Anyway, Dr. Wang report to me later once you find the Russian and the American settlements. We need to find them as soon as possible!" the governor general said.
"No problem, Governor General, well then I'll go back to helicopter no. 12. I have to monitor the data findings gathered by our weather balloons." Moments later, Dr. Wang went back to her office, leaving the governor general in his office. After the female scientist went back to her office, the governor general soon continued on reading the report papers that were starting to pile on his desk.
Part 5: US Settlement – October 2, 2011 USSNWT - United States Standard New World Time (October 13, 2014 ELT)
It was a nice sunny day. The clouds were clear; the weather is fine and the vegetation (yes, vegetation and I mean forest and things like that). However, this place will never be the same anymore and for one reason, the Americans have built a settlement in that patch of land in the middle of nowhere. Leader and governor general and former company sergeant of the Bluebird squadron, Governor General John Giles wastes no time in building his new base.
The Americans had sent thirty helicopters into this brand new world. Just yesterday and just after arrival, the United States deployed their reconnaissance hydrogen balloon, probably the most sophisticated reconnaissance gadget ever sent into this world. These balloons by the way are not supported by one but three balloons and are all eight feet in diameter and 30 feet in height. All of balloons are built to last for two months before exploding in the upper atmosphere, especially at altitudes at the upper stratosphere. One more feature of this balloon lifted recon gadgets is that this one has a built in solar panel skin, with a series of cameras in the bottom of the flyer.
Twenty hours after deployment, the balloons began sending in precious data. This data ranges from atmospheric, RADAR, and geophysical features. However, what caught the attention of the governor general is a physical feature he is all too familiar. It was a very familiar map, but he does not want to take wild guesses, so he went to the temporary intelligence relay center in the settlement.
Upon arrival, he then meets First Lieutenant Jefferson Wright. Busy dealing with all the surge of data coming in from the reconnaissance balloon, First Lieutenant Wright failed to notice that the governor general of the settlement has entered into his office.
"First Lieutenant Wright, there is something I want you to clarify," the governor general asked but no response.
"First Lieutenant Wright, this is the Governor General, answer my question, what is this thing all about?" he asked. Noticing a loud and deep voice coming from a superior, he then turned his head back to see who it was. It was the governor general of the base, and in his shock, he accidentally entered a command on the keyboard, causing a projector to come out and display some raw images coming from the balloons.
"I am so sorry, Mr. Governor General. I am very sorry," the man asked.
"Nevermind about that, but what is this thing all about? Why can I recognize an eerie resemblance of the Philippine East Seaboard and the Taiwanese East Coast?" the Governor General asked.
"I see so that is the problem here. As you see, governor… from what our computers have been receiving for this last twenty hours, we saw that we somehow manage to land on a piece of land in this world which would be in our world, is equivalent to Luzon Island of the Republic of the Philippines. However, the resemblance does not end there. From what I saw in this image, I found out that this piece of land is similar to what Philippines looks like during last ice age. Even though our satellites still have not reach the destined position, we would expect that we would see two great lakes in the west of this formation. This world is the mirror of our world… that is my guess. By the way, I am Michael Thompson, chief geologist and meteorologist of this settlement - nice to meet you, Governor General." The geologist said.
"Nice to meet you to, Dr. Thompson. Therefore, you are telling me that this world offers an eerie resemblance to our world. Then why, according to my data findings regarding our latitude, I found out that this world is 13% bigger than our own planet? How is that being possible for this planet to become a mirror planet of ours?" the governor general asked.
"The atmospheric qualities of this planet, although it is bigger than our own, the mixtures, pressures and the wind behavior are still similar. The only thing that is different is that the atmosphere is thicker than our atmosphere. I still don't know how is that possible but well find that out later," the scientist said.
"I see! Well then, I will go back to my office now. I still have to deal with the nuclear reactors and the weapons we have brought here from Earth. I'll entrust this task to you," the governor general soon made his exit and went outside the temporary relay center.
Once he was outside, he then saw the entire base. This part of the settlement after all is the highest peak of the settlement, which offers a nice overview to the entire settlement. Soon, the governor general looked at the document he has on his hand. It was the inventory of all the things and equipment present in the base – and was brought to here by them.
"If Dr. Jackson is right, and then this nuclear power plant should produce more than 1000 MW. I guess that is enough for this base," the man said to himself. Soon, he then flipped the pages of the inventory. He then found out a page, which is about the inventory of weaponries they have.
"Five harriers, three M119 105mm Howitzers, three Phalanx CIWS, 3 M923 Trucks and a Humvee, oh, and some firearms like rifles, portable anti-material weapons, snipers, machine guns and pistols – well this United States for you. Since we encountered those dragons four years ago, the President has been very interested into this project. Well, I cannot argue with him, since after what happened in the Atlantic, he was expecting that once we manage to step in to this world, we might engage the Russians in combat. Anyway, talking about the Russians, I wonder where in hell they are," the Governor General soon raised his head and looked up to the clouds.
"Two moons huh, I guess, that was Europe, and now, now I am in Asia. The bad thing here I guess is the Chinese. They are less than a thousand nautical miles away from us, so I guess we will be seeing each other's asses then. I guess I should tell radio controller after this to fire some intense radio signals, maybe I can get a response from the Russians and the Chinese. This world is already littered with Russian radio signals anyway. It is a good way anyway to tell them were here," the governor general soon stood up and watched his settlement, as construction for the headquarters, storage rooms, roads, and facilities blazed on at full building speed.
"Well then, how about I go down there and supervise the settlement construction, I have a feeling something is different in this world and thus I must move quickly," the Governor General immediately ran into the location on which his headquarters is still undergoing construction.
Part 6: Volga Settlement – December 14, 2011 SMLT (October 13, 2014 ELT, October 2, 2011 USSNWT/CSNWT)
The sun has not even risen in this part of Stranno Mir (Stranno Mir is the Russian name for this planet). It was about four in the morning. At first, the radio controller of the Russian settlement was taking his nap. There has not been any radio signal this radio towers has received and nor they are expecting for any radio signals to reach this place of the world for the next few months.
Thus since there were no powerful manmade radio signals in these world, the radio towers sphere of affectivity was minimized to less than 200 kilometers. For somewhere beyond the 200 kilometers, although the maximum range for any radio transmissions was still maintained, which is 8500 kilometers from the base, the Governor General ordered that radio silence should be maintained in order to save power.
However, there something is not right here.
This radio facility has a built in alarm system. The reason why there is an alarm system in this radio tower is that the alarm should notify the radio operator that the radio towers have received a radio signal. It is to make sure that the radio operator as well as the governor general could transmit and receive a message coming from the real world at ample time.
Nevertheless, the alarm system was sounded.
The radio tower has received some signals somewhere in the world.
Seeing some strange radio signals coming from the east, although it was faint, the radio operator soon printed the radio transcripts and tried to read them. There he noticed this was not some sort of natural radio coming from the sky. This was manmade.
Knowing that this radio signal is manmade, he then checked for any signatures for this radio. Then, there it was. The radio signal is a 768 kHz AM radio signal bearing the radio signature of the US Air Force. It was American in origin. However, seeing that another radio signal has mixed in to the American ones, the radio controller soon managed to learn that there were not one but two manmade radio signals.
While he was still serving the Russian Airforce back on Earth, he knows many radio signatures there are in a series of radio signals, or how to find and learn where the signals from, what nationality does signal came from and what message the radio has. He even knows how to find the location of the radio through mathematics.
However, this was not the case. The second radio signal was too distorted, too faint, and too weak to know what it is. Because of this, he then categorized the second radio signal as an unknown signal.
To crunch down all the facts, he discovered that this radio signals were somehow weak.
Therefore, he then concluded that either the first or second radio signal does not have a radio tower.
In addition, through the science and mathematics of the radio communication, he learned that the radio signals came from somewhere from 9,000 to 10,000 kilometers away.
After two hours of data analysis, he then pinpointed the origin of the radio transmission and discovered all the properties of the radio signal. He soon learned that it came from not Earth (since Earth's radio signals were far stronger than this series of radio signals) but instead somewhere in Stranno Mir.
Without wasting time, the radio operator scrammed to the office of the Governor General. Upon arrival, he then passed down the papers to his superior, the Governor General of the Volga Settlement.
The Governor General has just entered his office, but something is weird it seems. The presence of the radio controller alone convinces him something big has happened. He soon read the contents of the summary of the report.
Then the Governor General was simply shocked at the facts presented to him by the radio operator.
"A series of radio signals has been discovered in Stranno Mir. There were two of them and these radio signals came from somewhere we still have not mapped yet. The first radio signals are American and the second radio signals were still unknown," the governor general soon placed down the documents and stood up all of a sudden.
"Yes, Governor General, I just detected those signals two hours ago. Since this signals did not came from Earth, the computers cannot automatically determine the radio signals. So I used manual calculations in order to find its location," the radio operator wondered why the Governor General acted strangely all of a sudden.
Realizing something, he soon walked to the still unfinished world map. He then wrote down all the coordinates were the series of radio signals was found. However, he has only a few ideas about the lines of latitude and longitude of his world – and much lesser idea than this worlds system of latitude and longitude; he soon turned his head to the telephone and called a certain person on the telephone. It was the geologist of this world.
"Dr. Bogrov – it is me, Governor General Medvelev. I need you here at headquarters. ASAP!" the governor general did not even waited for a reply from the geologist. He immediately placed down the phone back to his desk. He then stared back to the map.
"Radio officer Grekov - the Americans and the Chinese are finally here. The second unknown signal, I bet it was Chinese in origin. A few months back, the Kremlin has also warned me that the Chinese and the Americans are making their move and fast," the governor general soon remembered something and dashed back to the telephone. He remembered he needed to ask Engineer Vonorin about something.
"Engineer Vonorin, this is Governor General Medvelev, Present to me a report about the infrastructure of the settlement. If possible, submit it to me by afternoon," like what he did to the chief geologist and meteorologist, he impatiently placed the phone back to its place.
Governor General Medvelev is very much pumped up because of the thought alone about the news that the Americans and the Chinese are finally making their appearance into this world.
"So Governor General Medvelev, are you suggesting me that the unknown radio signal was Chinese in origin. Well it does make sense," the radio operator scratched his head. Even if he make a thought about the mathematics of the radio signal, none of the properties of the radio signal shows any sign of its origin, none the less about the theory that it is Chinese.
Maybe, he miscalculated something in the math.
Maybe, it was the weakness of the radio signal.
Maybe, the Governor General was right after all.
"Yes, Radio Officer Grekov, I am 100% sure about it. The Chinese is also here," the governor general soon grabbed a piece of the documents sent to him from the Kremlin a few months ago.
"Read this Radio Officer Grekov. I guess I will allow you to read the files sent to me by the Kremlin. It talks about the probability of how much the Chinese is willing to go to this world. The Kremlin was even thinking of leaking out some of the information generously to anyone that is willing or has the capacity to learn about this secret. For example, the Airforce released and insecurely sent the data back to Stranno Mir a few months ago, so that anyone could intercept and read what we know," the governor general humbly walked back to the incomplete map of Stranno Mir.
Upon hearing these facts from the mouth of the governor general, the radio officer was simply dumbfounded and amazed of what the government has been thinking all along.
The government was not thinking about this fact as a national secret anymore.
Russia is expecting that someone is going to place an expeditionary force to this settlement.
In other words, the fiasco that is the Russian and American incident in the Norwegian Sea was just a tactic planned by the government to delay the American progress and push the Russian program far ahead of the game.
The two men inside the headquarters were all drowned to their thoughts.
The Governor General was thinking about how much the settlement has progressed since he received those words from the Kremlin.
The Radio Operator was wondering about the real intentions of the Russian Government and the future of the settlement/s that will soon bloom on this mysterious piece of rock, that is Stranno Mir, a world which is the same yet different from Earth.
Fifteen minutes later, finally, Dr. Bogrov has finally arrived. Upon seeing the scientist whose mission was to know and gather information about geology and meteorology and has experience about cartography, he gave the papers that were given to him earlier by the radio operator.
This paper has information about the possible location about the origin of the radio signal and most possibly, the location of the Chinese and American settlements.
"I see so it's about plotting down the locations that is why you called me in and as soon as possible Governor General Medvelev," Dr. Bogrov soon pasted another map in the wall. This time, the map that was posted in the wall was the map of the Earth.
"Don't worry about the difference of the maps. The difference of the maps we have here bears only a few differences from the geographical features of Earth. However, it is still safe to assume though that there might be some geographical difference between Earth and Stranno Mir." Soon, Dr. Bogrov soon pasted another map on the wall. This time, the map that was posted in an empty space in the wall beside the map of Earth was an incomplete map of Stranno Mir. The difference about this map is that 77% of the Stranno Mir's geographical detail was still a mystery since only 23% of Stranno Mir has been documented yet.
Dr. Bogrov soon grabbed a piece of ruler and ran it on the position along the estimated position of a certain town that bears an eerie similarity to a certain borough in a Stranno Mir version of London in which they named Londonium, for naming's sake that is.
He soon drew a line along the zero degree label on top section of the map of Stranno Mir. After that, he soon high lightened all the lines of longitude and latitude in the map. Finally, the latitude and longitude grid is now complete.
After all that drawing, on which the radio operator and the governor general paid so much attention for the sake of knowing about the location of the two settlements, Dr. Bogrov grabbed a scientific calculator, a piece of paper, and a pen. Looking at the distance and the direction from which the radio signals came from, the scientist was immersed from the thought of how to solve it accurately.
Then he found out how.
It was through great circle distance calculation (authors note: great circle distance is the shortest, and most accurate, distance between two points in a sphere. For Earth, great circle distance is used for determining the distance between two points that is more than a meridional distance of 10 degrees or 600 nautical miles).
Then given a few minutes to solve the problem, and the thirteen percent difference in sizes between the two distances as a given, he soon manage to track down where the signal came from.
The American radio signal came from 17 degrees North latitude, 122 degrees East longitude with an error of 50 nautical miles (because of radio signal strength). These coordinates, using the map of the Earth, it is about the location somewhere in the island of Luzon in the Philippines, with an error of 50 nautical miles.
The second radio signal or as what the governor general called it 'the Chinese radio signal' came from 30 degrees North latitude, 122 degrees East longitude with an error of 340 nautical miles (because, again, of the strength of the radio signal). These coordinate, using the map of the Earth, which is in the city of Zhoushan (this particular location is about 145 degrees southeast and 70 nautical miles away of Shanghai).
"Well then Governor General, these are locations of the origins of the radio signal. That is all I can do," Dr. Bogrov pointed out the following locations and drew them in both maps, for reference sake. The scientist has manage to solve everything in less than five minutes, along with the maximum possible error along the calculation.
The said calculation left the two men dazzling in amazement.
"Well then, if that is all that you want me to do Governor General, I wish to excuse myself. I still have something to do," the scientist turned his head to the governor general who was trying to place everything that he saw on a diary.
"Permission granted, you may now take your leave," replied by the ever busy governor general who was trying to record the said coordinates in his diary and so the scientist took his leave and made his way back to his office.
"Operator Grekov, you can also take your leave now. My order, maintain full surveillance and increase the power input of the radio tower to 45%. In that way, we can catch any radio signals by the Americans and the Chinese. I bet they still do not have a proper settlement and in addition to that, they probably still do not have any idea that we already have a radio tower. Use any means necessary to monitor their progress," Governor General Medvelev placed down the diary he has on his hands to his pocket. He then turned his head on his subordinate and looked at him seriously.
"As much as possible, don't you ever show to them our position. That is an order," and that was the Governor General said before the radio operator asked his permission to leave. After that, the radio operator rushed back to his office.
"So everything is about to go full speed. I wonder what the government is doing today?" the Governor General went back to his desk and reread back the documents and orders sent to him by headquarters.
As Governor General, he is more like the Commander-in-Chief and Chief Executive of this place or a man who was assigned by the Kremlin to take the responsibilities of a Russian President on this far away colony.
He has many priorities, like the planned settlement expansion, since the dragon has already been tamed by Commander Khukov just a few hours ago. It is the wish of the Kremlin, thus an order from the Russian people.
From this point on, the settlement, building for Russia is going to change… full speed ahead.
Part 7: Okazaki Research Facility, Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan – November 11, 2014 Earth Local Time (October 8, 2014 USSNWT/CMNWT, December 20, 2011 SMLT)
It has been more than a month since then.
Both in Earth and the New World (the Russians call it Stranno Mir), many things have happened continuously.
The Russians are busy expanding their settlement.
The Americans and the Chinese are still building up their own settlements.
The politics on Earth is stable on the outside, chaotic in the inside.
Finally, there are the Halkeginian people, busy introducing science to their society.
However, back to Earth, one specific nation is also "busy." Somewhere in the east and deep inside the Japanese islands, a certain "public scientific institute" operated and heavily maintained by the government near the city of Nagoya, is the "state institute" of Okazaki City.
This city institute is just 7 kilometers north from downtown Okazaki City. This facility is a "public research facility" run by the government. The "public purpose" of this facility is that this facility is one of the world's leading test facility in Japan in quantum mechanics.
However, as what other might say, when there is light, there will always be a shadow. Therefore, yes – you get it right… this facility's true purpose is indeed covered in secrecy.
The true purpose of this facility is to study "strange" occurrences all across the islands of Japan.
This facility was built in 1978 (four years after the Grumman incident). Well, as what government records have recorded, these facilities are built to serve as Japan's research facility in relation to quantum physics. From then on, scholars all over Japan flock in to this area in order to study atoms at the quantum level.
However, appearance can be deceiving. Just under the facility lies another facility. This facility is the center of all researches regarding about messing military gear. This research facility has become part of a long history of researches spanning back to the time of Imperial Japan, during one (and the first in Japanese Aviation History) and might be the biggest airforce incident of all time, the disappearance of an entire squadron of 10 Yokosuka K5Y biplanes during an air show and with the audience of Emperor Hirohito during a solar eclipse in 1935.
It was soon followed by a disappearance of a Mitsubishi A6M Zero in the summer of 1941, two North American F-86F in 1960, two Grumman S2F-1 in 1974, a Lockheed F-104J on 1981, a Mitsubishi F-15J in 1993, and finally, the most documented of all the disappearance, a Mitsubishi F-2 on 2004. All of these cases have one similarity. They all disappeared during a solar eclipse.
However, the Japanese High Command and the Self Defense Air Force kept all of this disappearance classified and it stayed that way for almost 80 years – until now.
(Okay, enough history lessons lets go back to the topic.)
Back to the topic..., it was nighttime in Nagoya. However, one man, wearing a lab coat, was restlessly wrestling out a ton of paperwork and combating fatigue while doing his favorite pastime... cigarette smoking.
Who is this person?
He is Dr. Minato Kihara. He is one of the twelve master scientist of Japan and is one of the head scientist on the Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi programs. By the way, he is still 28 years old single man, is a fine example of a hikikomori (except to with his co-colleagues), a scientific otaku, and usually spends his time in front of a calculator and a book along with his dog, which is named Einstein. He only went outside to go to Tokyo on orders of the government.
From the rest of the world today is like a normal night. For the rest of the residence of Aichi Prefecture, today was nothing more but a boring autumn night. However, for the scientific community, tonight is night that will change quantum mechanics forever.
This night has never been greater for this man and his dog Einstein.
He have pieced out many mysteries in Physics. Using the readings he managed to gather from the planes that gathered a piece of the hole, he then subjected these particles into intense research nonstop for a month using particle accelerators and nuclear reactors present in Japan.
It seems like he used every bit of tools Japan can offer to him.
Soon, while Dr. Kihara and his dog Einstein were celebrating such a historical event in the history of science, two people in lab coats entered the research facility. Mysteriously they just entered in silently inside the room of Dr. Kihara.
"Hey, what is up with all the noise? Damn it is still two o clock in the morning. Can I get some good night sleep once in a while?"
"Did you find something, Kihara-san?"
Soon one of them switched on the lights. Then two figures became visible. It was Dr. Kotetsu and Dr. Kurokawa.
Wait a minute, who are these two characters in a lab coat.
Dr. Kotetsu Kazuto is one of the heads of the Tsukuyomi project and is one of the leading quantum physicist in Japan. Dr. Ayame Kurokawa is also one of the chief scientist of the Tsukuyomi project and the head of general relativity studies in the whole of Japan. She is also one of the youngest among the twelve scientist, only at twenty-five years of age.
Wondering why Kihara was celebrating like an idiot with a bottle of sake on his left hand, Kurokawa approached the dancing scientist. She then turned his head to the left and on her, left there it was.
There were four blackboards connected side-by-side, all full of calculations. Noticing something is up, she approached the blackboard... and there she recognized something... it was a traversable wormhole.
"Kotetsu, Kotetsu, look at this!"
"Yiooy, Ayame-chan, what do want... with me..."
Kotetsu's jaw simply dropped once he saw all the calculations in the table. It was the standard model. No..., it was string theory. Wait a minute...
Is this the combination of the two theories... the standard and the string?
Does this prove the existence of exotic matter in the universe?
Does this mean that negative energy density exists?
Wait, then where dark matter and dark energy do belong.
Did he just manage to link relativity and quantum mechanics?
If this is a wormhole, then how can he... do not tell me he found out how to find large amounts of energy?
Did this person manage to discover the theory of everything?
All those questions leap in back and forth into Kotetsu's mind. Soon, questions began to bombard his mind.
Noticing that the world of physics is slowly turning Kotetsu's mind to mush, Kihara then turned his hand and patted Kotetsu's head.
"Hey Kotetsu-san, if you are thinking that I have already solved the question about what is the theory of everything, then you are wrong,"
"Wrong, looked at this set of solutions, everything is already in here. Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, General Relativity... you have answered so many questions already. This is simply amazing!"
Kotetsu soon turned his head on the bearded man with a cute dog on his left arm. He then made a pat into Kihara's shoulders. "You have solved one of the greatest problem already. Project Tsukuyomi has finally advanced. It seems that we do not need a hundred years to find out what makes a wormhole."
"No, Kotetsu-san, I only solved 36% of the problem. The question I want to answer this time is that what does the 11 dimensions of the space-time fabric is involved in this one. If I do make a wormhole, how can I determine the location of the other end? I know I finally discovered how to make a stable wormhole, but the question is how a wormhole does, the one that happens during solar eclipses takes place anyway. We have been studying it for five years already and have used data compiled from the last 37 years."
Ayame looked at the works of Kihara, sharply.
The first thing she looks for inconsistencies in the equation is that how much role does gravity has in this "theory of everything."
Moments later, she found it. The role of gravity in this equation is somehow clear yet blurry, sure and yet unsure. She was not convinced yet about it.
However, what intrigues her interest is the exotic matter. This man has just explained some of the mysteries of the Big Bang. Even though the "mathematical" existence of exotic matter has been finally cemented in this equation, its nature is still mysterious, just like magic.
In addition to that, finally, after a decade, another description of the remaining seven inaccessible dimensions, thus raising another flag that string theory is, might as well true. However, looking at another perspective, all the "proven," and "still to be proven" elementary particles fits together in the equation, like a puzzle piece fitting itself in a puzzle. The equation even predicted that there are more unknown particles left undiscovered. This is the standard model.
Nevertheless, she still was amazed at the equations, earning him her respect.
"I agree with Kihara. The topic about gravity have not been solved completely yet. There are still holes in the theory. However, this is indeed great. I have never thought that trying to let a plane pass through a wormhole which consist of about more than four dimensions is possible, more to that could attain this much data."
"Always the beautiful critic huh, Ayame-chan! Anyway, I just solved a third of the problem. The reason I am celebrating is that I have finally proven to myself that we can create a wormhole in the near future."
"Hey, Kurokawa Ayame and Kihara Minato, stop flirting there you two. Ow, wait a second, this letter just came in tonight through email. It says that our co-scholars in the north want our aide with regards with their problems, you know Project Amaterasu!"
"Hai! Hai! Kotetsu-sama!" Minato then received and later on opened the letter. Without wasting anytime, he then read the letter thoroughly.
After reading, he then raised his head and look at his colleagues.
"Gentlemen, I guess we still have a month left to study these wormholes before we can help them with their work."
"I am not a gentleman and I am not a male... I am a female you know, Minato!" Ayame then threw chalk directly straight to Minato's head, causing the man to dodge it as soon as he noticed Ayame's arm preparing to throw a chalk.
"Right! Well then, let us go back to my problem. Kotetsu and Ayame, tell me. Using the readings we have found from previous eclipses, we learned that the Sun, the Moon and the Earth as something to do with the eclipse. Because, if you look at this data, we found out that something is causing a rift in the magnetic fields of the three heavenly bodies. When the rift happens, it seems like matter just simply disappears. Now when the rift vanished the matter that disappears instantly reappeared."
"Minato, I think the answer to your question lies not in the four dimension but somewhere in the remaining seven dimensions. Anyway, we do not even have a way of knowing what exist in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh dimensions. I guess this is what people say about "we are just scratching the surface."
"I agree with Kotetsu, Minato. We have still has so many things to yet. Our work has just begun. By the way, I wonder what really happened during a solar eclipse and what power is behind it. Hey, Minato have you ever wonder that multiverses really exist?"
"Multiverses, I do not know. My equations here do not give me any proof or even hints that a universe or more aside from ours exists beyond our universe. I do not even know if parallel universes even exist in the first place. However, I do not crash or eliminate the possibility that such things exists. Maybe, wormholes could even enable hyperspace travel."
"You have a point their Minato. By the way what time is it?"
"It's about two thirty in the morning, why do you ask, Kotetsu?"
"I want to go back to sleep. I haven't have any sleep at all for these past five days after all you know, Minato."
"Well, I guess I should take this time as an opportunity to go and sleep. I have been up and solving here in my office for straight eight days. I do not even remember when the last time I took a shower was."
"No wonder your room stinks like rotten eggs, Minato. Arrange your office first. We shall all take a break tomorrow. Are you ok with that Kotetsu" and after hearing that statement from Dr. Ayame Kurokawa, Dr. Minato Kihara was just simply embarrassed.
"I guess so, well then... oyasumi Minato-san, Ayame-chan!"
"Oyasuminasai - Kotetsu-san, Ayame-chan"
"Hai! Hai! Good morning too, Minato-san!" and so Dr. Kurokawa and Dr. Kazuto left Dr. Kihara behind in his office, and after hearing those comments from Dr. Kurokawa, Dr. Kazuto turned his head and take a long glimpse into his ever chaotic office.
"Damn, when did I become such a pig..." he soon turned his head into the blackboard and look at the equations he wrote there in the blackboard, "64% more and I can finally build a wormhole."
Dr. Minato Kihara made a confident and deep smile.
-End of Chapter-
(Between the Lines and Authors Note are on the next chapter)
Sorry... but right now, I have decided to slice the one 22k chapter into one. I just thought it out that, maybe, a chapter also needs not to be very long. It should have afterall a decent size.
So now, this will become part 1... and next chapter shall become part 2.
Once again thank you for reading When Two Worlds Collide.
