Science fiction. The Invincible one

 

Science fiction. The Invincible One

“Peaceful war!”

That is what he always wanted and this is what he said once again. But this time he emphasised on it with tremendous conviction; as if he meant it. And we all were left astounded because we had never understood, just like now. That how can war be fought peacefully?

We only knew one fact though, “there never was a good war, or a bad peace!”

And he wanted to prove all of us wrong, because he wanted to fight wars peacefully. 

How? 

We had no hint about it, because he was The Invincible One. The one who always won, the one who defeated all, and the one who was protected by something about which none of us has the slightest idea.

He existed beyond the reach of our minds while we all lived as the prisoners of his mind- Sort of prisoners. And today he insisted that we wage new wars and win them peacefully.

Either he is thinking too much or we are not thinking at all. Either of these cases is true, but in both cases he is the one who wins, just like always.

It was our 5th night on this planet. A place where eeriness grows and a place where nothing feels outstanding. Nothing at all. And on this planet there are beings who can think but they only think based on the ecosystem and for the ecosystem to which they are intrinsically bound. Anything that tries to force itself into this balance between these beings and the ecosystem that they rely on, these beings mercilessly and ruthlessly terminate them. Which we believe is the right approach.

But treating all as misfits or propagators of detriment to the natural ecosystem. That is a belief they need to shun.

Most of the time, the ecosystem that promotes passiveness among them, at these moments brutalises them. And at this moment we are up against these beings who think we are trying to disrupt the balance of their ecosystem. Which is completely a baseless rumour that has made them our enemies, because they see us as a threat that should be destroyed at all costs.

They are the beings who are united in their cause, and right now that cause is to forcefully make us withdraw from their planet. Where we want to establish our base to facilitate our long distance space travels. The location of their planet will grant us access to a new galaxy where our systems have detected some rare metals that we need to extract, and then use them to generate our own replicas which will be a blend of billions of self thinking and information processing nano processors. Only these rare metals will enable us to develop complex networks between billions of nano processors distributed across the skin of these replicas.

But right now, these beings are our major hindrance, preventing us from accessing these rare metals. We tried our best to negotiate with them, but they are unwilling to entertain any of our requests. And under these circumstances war is the only solution left with us. 

And The Invincible One wants to launch a peaceful war! 

We do not know how wars can be fought peacefully. And before we launch a full scale war with these undeterred and unwilling to negotiate beings, The Invincible One is expected to descend on the planet in order to re-negotiate with their leader. They call the Senior One.

We are waiting for him, and it is our hope he will not use his unforgiving force, which he uses when he is aroused to do so by the opponents who underestimate his limitless power. Finally The Invincible One descends on the planet. And the beings, actually the native residents of this planet, begin to tremble on seeing him. Because there is nothing ordinary about him. He is extraordinary in every way. 

And being protected by some mysterious force, his appearance first charms you; then if you are not possessed by his aura, you begin to feel intimidated, until you have not knelt before him and accepted his authority as the ultimate force that can decline anything that he does not like. 

And seeing The Invincible One, the beings of this planet instantly realise that he is not an ordinary being to deal with. They have always known it. But they were unwilling to lease a piece of land on their planet to an alien species i.e. us. 

With The Invincible One having descended we were thinking what could be their next move. 

There was complete and total peace for now, because they went into hiding. We could not locate any of them, our reconnaissance systems; aerial as well as terrestrial, had failed to spot any of them. And this made The Invincible One furious. 

He broke his vow to launch peaceful wars. It was then he assumed his gigantic form, a form that we all had always loved to see him in. Because there was something spectacular about it.

The Invincible One actually belonged to the galaxy to which we needed access, and it was possible only by establishing a base on the planet where we are about to wage war with the beings who are unwilling to accept our proposal.

Few of the oldest generals who have served with The Invincible One, believe he is made of rare metals, and his body is covered with trillions of nano processors. Where every processor has a magnetic field that always recognises his body as the main force of attraction and mental calibration. 

His body has a specific energy configuration and these nano processors via their magnetic stimulators always recognise the magnetic wavelength of his body and either attach to him or accept his commands, initiated by his mind. 

Each nano processor forms the exo-layer of his actual body, where these nano processors are always learning new stimuli, new sensations, and via his brain they learn new quotients of intelligence. It is a remarkable network of self thinking processors that always sync with the mind of The Invincible One, who mangoes them via his mind- His mind acts as the command centre for trillions of nano processors. Can you imagine what all he can accomplish? Simply anything and everything!

He had made up his mind to launch the attack. And he stood there surrounded by his entire army- All of us. And he ejected every nano processor. And like pollen dust they got scattered in all directions of the planet. In 15 minutes all the beings of this planet appeared from their hiding places with a willingness to submit and accept our offer. They knelt before him like disciples before a great guru.

And we knew we had won the war, and The Invincible One was indeed the one who could never be defeated. We were beginning to understand what he meant by peacefully fought wars, which we shall always win. Just like this war, where we had won without sustaining any casualty on either side.

As we were about to explode with feelings of joy and victory, something unexpected happened. The Invincible One shivered and then collapsed on the ground. It was impossible because he could never die, be defeated or outsmarted.

When he fell on the ground, our army was gripped by feelings of dismay and now we felt defeated. Because without him we felt like soldiers whose spirit was on crutches. And as a handicapped lot of soldiers we now felt overpowered and overcome by the beings, we misjudged we had already defeated.

Then as their Senior One rose from his kneeling posture, he observed everything around him, and after a few moments ordered us to surrender.

“We have captured your, The Invincible One. His nano processors that formed his exo-layer of intelligence and supernatural powers, have been captured by our magnetic wavelength manipulating drones. And without them your, the so called The Invincible One is helpless, and without him you are equally helpless as well. Because we know he works as your command centre. And with him lying unconscious on the ground, you stand no chance. So, surrender your weapons and leave this planet. Right now!”

Our general who heard his brave announcement, replied with the spirit of a general whose spirit was still willing to wage a war without the involvement of The Invincible One. Because he knew that The Invincible One only instructed the soldiers via his efficient strategy that always surprised the enemy. However, in actuality it was he and his army of brave men and women who either won or lost the war. The men and women who dared not to fear.

“We will not submit, there will be war. Because nobody can prevent us from accessing the galaxy where we belong. And you are acting too cocky by not letting us set up a base on this planet, for which we are willing to pay a yearly lease guarantee of 2 billion in your currency. So there will be war, if you want it now, so be it. If you want it later, let me know; and my men and women will be ready. Whether The Invincible One is unconscious or dead. That does not matter!”

Hearing these confidence soaked words of our general, the Senior One stared at our general and replied with words that displayed similar resistance and confidence.

“Well then, let there be war and let it be now. But let us not involve children and women who are civilians and not part of the army. Wars should be fought in a proper battle ground and not in civilian areas. Then it is not war, it is an army of thieves whose only goal is to plunder and cause disharmony. Nothing else. 

Both parties will engage in war at 05:00 pm tomorrow in the battle ground defined on this planet. And you know where it is. So, I and my brave men and women shall meet you there.”

They all followed the Senior One. And we stayed where we had been stationed for long now. Our general tried to help The Invincible One regain his conscience, but he did not respond to his attempts. 

Finally we moved The Invincible One to a tent reserved for him, and we too settled in our tents. While our general and few commanders began working on a strategy to defeat the beings. While taking references from the strategy that The Invincible One was already working on with the general of our army.

Nobody slept, all of us were thinking about winning the war. The war that would grant us access to our galaxy of dreams and new scientific accomplishments.

We all gathered in the battle ground earlier than proposed time and began taking instructions from our commanders. And finally the beings too arrived with their army, and they certainly outnumbered us, but not our will.

Exactly at 05:00 pm we launched our attack on them and they spared no opportunity to destroy us completely. We had advanced weapons, but they had them too. And it seemed the war would never reach a decisive end.

Then, as the war intensified, we saw The Invincible One walking from the hill towards the battle field. The moment he arrived in our midst we all stopped launching our offensive on the enemy. While they kept firing at us from all directions. 

The Invincible One opened a box and covered himself with a thick layer of rare metal dust, and as it turned into a composite form when it settled over his skin, we saw trillions of nano particles alighting on his skin and he had once again attained his INVINCIBLE form.

His next move proved to all of us that he indeed was Invincible. He relaunched the nano processors into the air and this time they bore his new thoughts, new energy and a totally new wavelength that was designed to calibrate only with predefined and multiple bands of wavelengths. And the beings who had thought they had captured these nano processors, were unable to see through the wise mind of The Invincible One. Because these nano processors had accessed all their intelligent systems and they knew their every next move. Because they had even studied their patterns of strategic counter attacks, by accessing the database of their core network that manages all interlinked war machines.

And as these nano processors re-accessed the network, these machines began treating their own masters as their main enemy. While few of these nano processors attached themselves to the temples of the soldiers and manipulated their thoughts. Turning them against one another. ( These nano processors generated wavelengths specific to each mind, just like radio frequencies, and when they tuned in with these frequencies of the soldiers’ minds. As a result they either began shooting at their own fellow men and women or began falling on ground like autumn leaves tossed against the floor by heavy gusts of wind.

But the Senior One was spared by these nano processors, because The Invincible One needed someone from their side to negotiate with. He could easily establish a base on this planet given the incredible power he possessed, but he wanted to negotiate and establish a base as a friend of their planet and not as their enemy. In return he was willing to share with them many technological secrets. About which only he knew. 

But the Senior One was unwilling to cooperate; and now with the situation completely in our favour, The Invincible One was in no mood to negotiate. He wanted to establish a base and define his own conditions. At least that is how it seemed to a few of us.

The Senior One was escorted by our soldiers and led to the tent of The Invincible One. There he once again defined all the conditions he had proposed earlier and he assured him that they will receive a yearly lease money of 2 billion in their currency, plus access to latest technologies, and help with modernising their biotechnology and healthcare systems.

The Senior One still appeared to be obstinate. He was like a walnut that was hard and ripe like driftwood. But still not willing to leave the branch. And not at all willing to fall from it.

Eventually The Invincible One asked him about the conditions he would like to be added so that he could find the offer acceptable and more lucrative.

He thought for a moment or two and finally summed up his thoughts as follows,

“We want to know how you do what you do? We know how these nano processors calibrate individually, we know how to capture them as well. But we were surprised when you re-summoned them this time. How did you do that?”

The Invincible One looked at him and replied,

“The nano processors that you had captured during our last battle, were designed based on single wavelength. But these new ones are developed based on multiple and paired wavelengths. When you captured them; via my mind I controlled their wavelength and made them match with the wavelength that your system was familiar with based on its previous encounters. In addition to this the moment you captured them, I released them momentarily from my direct mental calibration and they regained their advanced and new wavelengths, that is multiple sets of paired wavelengths. And only I know about them. 

I cannot share the rest with you. This much information should offer you a lot of data to base your research on. 

And even prove very helpful in cloning these nano processors.

Now do we have a deal?”

The Senior One nodded his head and finally the deal was signed.

It is our 5th year on the planet. Today we will be flying to the new galaxy and land on the planet with huge reserves of rare metals that The Invincible One needs to create an army of INVINCIBLES. That is all of us!

We are sure it will be an exciting journey and there too we may have to wage a war, but we are ready, because the Universe belongs to all, but those who are the natives of the planets should always have the first say and absolute control over their planets. And here onwards we shall be following this philosophy in all our space exploits.

If you are interested in a science fiction story that is adventurous, romantic, and explores new scientific possibilities, then you must explore the scifi novel, They Loved in 2075.

It will excite you, it will take you on a journey of endless scientific possibilities, and reveal to you a romance filled saga of a different kind. Because in 2075 humans will find it difficult to emote and feel like true human beings, all due to their excessive interactions with self aware and intelligent machines. And it is in this backdrop of reality, that a man and beautiful woman try to fall in love just like humans do. 

To know whether human love prevails or synthetic love prevails. Please read the scifi novel, They Loved in 2075.

As you explore this exciting scifi novel, let me prepare to fly to the new galaxy that perhaps is waiting to receive us. And not dwell too much on the past. Because the past is a foreign country. They do things differently there. But when you love someone, you love her in the present without forgetting the past, only to love her more and better in the future. And that is what the scifi novel They Loved in 2075 is about!

About human love, that has clashed with machines pretending to be loving!
