Science fiction. The neo generation of 5%

Year 2075. Yes, it is the year I live in and its realities are what shape my world. The world of new beginnings, but at the same time, the world of many ends too! 

Beginnings of new life on the old planet, and end of everything old, except the old and aging planet. And this is exactly where the main struggle of a lot of us lies. An endless struggle to adapt and to adopt as well. 

What?

You shall know as you have read the last line of this short story, a story about me and my planet!

Recently our inter planetary scientists sighted a new planet with intelligent life-form, while trying to understand the planet’s exact placement in the cosmos and adjust the angle of our satellites to know more about it, we lost contact with all our satellites dedicated to this mission. And it did not end there, our communication with most of our distant satellites not part of this mission was not normal either. Because they all were sending signals on  the same bandwidth, whereas all these satellites are designed to send signals and receive signals at different bandwidths. Somehow they were experiencing bandwidth scaling lock.

It was a clear sign that the intelligent life residing on the planet that our satellites had spotted was not willing to reveal its exact location. And our scientists now feared that they knew our exact location and we knew nothing about them. Except one fact that intelligent life-form exists on this distant planet and compared to us it is far more intelligent and advanced. If they could alter the bandwidth of our satellites and make them transmit signals only via one bandwidth it was clear proof that they possessed superior technology and highly advanced machines capable of re-engineering satellites remotely. Unimaginable for us at our level of advancement!

But, one of our scientists who has always believed in taking a kind of bullish approach to science, did something that was extraordinary and unexpected. He activated a component on these satellites to detect the origin of the alien bandwidth interfering with the satellite’s main cluster of bandwidths. 

However, to receive the input via single bandwidth that our surviving satellites had been locked in;  he re-arranged the signal receptors on the terrestrial dish satellites and then via instructions passed through a special computer language, he instructed the satellites to send the details corresponding to the origin of the alien bandwidth interfering with their cluster of bandwidths in smaller bits of code, that can be transmitted via the existing and active bandwidth.

It took us 5 days to receive the complete transmission. Which otherwise via higher bandwidth would have taken just an hour.

And now we know the exact location of this new planet. But they too know that we know about their existence and their exact location in the universe. This appears to have infuriated them, and now they are preparing to launch an attack on us. And due to this looming war-like situation everyone on our planet is boarding the mother spaceship that will take us 2 lightyears away from the home planet.To a small dwarf planet that we had detected a few years ago. And now 95% of us are trying to begin new lives on this planet. It is a temporary arrangement until our home planet is not declared safe for return.

We all were busy with new beginnings because all our old toils had come to a very unfortunate end. And it is not easy to give up what you have known as a way of life for many centuries. And one fine day you wake up into a new reality and a new way of life that is quite different and very hard to cope up with. But for now it is the reality of 95% of us and we can hardly wait for the day when we will go to our home planet, and re-live the lifestyle that we have always identified ourselves with.

It was midnight and we heard a loud explosion. The people from the alien  planet already knew we had moved to the dwarf planet and they blew it up with nuclear warheads. They did not want to spare anybody who knew about the location of their home planet. Otherwise they had no reason to resort to such an act, because we had not provoked them at all. Except that we had detected the location of their planet via our satellites. 

That day I had travelled to the home planet with a few scientists and when we returned we saw the dwarf planet in flames, it had turned into a fireball. That raged like fire, but it screamed and moaned like humans. Because from a distance we could hear our fellow humans screaming and shouting in pain. We had lost 95% of the population and from them only one survived i.e. me. Along with the rest of the 5% population that was still on the home planet preparing to defend it at all costs.

We turned the spaceship and travelled back to the home planet. Just 5 minutes from our landing time, we heard the alien spaceship circling our home planet. It did this for almost 5 minutes and then without any warning, they launched a full scale war on us.

And we know we are fighting a losing battle with just 5% of our population left.  

And their advanced technology has an obvious advantage over our technology. Their spaceships have shields that protect them from all our missiles and bombs. We have tried almost everything but nothing appears to be working. Their shields absorb the impact and then in a few seconds these shields appear to vibrate and realign. As if it were some material that on heavy impact distributes the impact zone in all directions like an aqueous wave, and when the explosion generates heat, its particles react with the heat generating base particles and neutralise them instantly. As if something before catching fire was being extinguished.

We had never seen anything like this before, and right now we are desperate and without any scientific resolve to counter this shield. And our fears are growing because once they launch their major offensive we shall stand no chance at all. They will claim a beautiful planet, with all its resources and with none of us to offer any resistance at all. What a loss!

And it was at this point two of our chief scientists suggested something that offered some hope. According to them when their spaceships launch the missiles, their shields develop openings to launch these missiles , and it takes 3 seconds for these openings to reseal. By knowing the location of these openings, which in the case of their major spaceships summed up to 30 openings. It was possible to penetrate the shields.

We spend two days developing the exact coordinates of these openings. And with the coordinates ready, our scientists launch missiles that can navigate to any point and then stay stationary for almost 8 hours in absolute stealth mode, and on receiving instruction from the main command centre fire at the target.

Their spaceships launch the missiles, and our missiles that were positioned near these openings target the openings and penetrate the shield of the spaceships. We wait and watch with patience hoping it will work. In a few minutes the spaceships begin falling from the skies.

At this point the mother spaceship recognises this shift in the power balance, that was partly on our side now. And the mother spaceship ejects star shaped, metallic, 7 inches wide, rotating discs, and they rain on our planet like a swarm of hornets, and when they hit ground, everything got covered with them. There were many of them. As soon as they touched ground, they fragmented into three each and then dispersed in all directions, placing themselves on anything that was made of concrete, with height more than 8 meters. As soon as these criteria were fulfilled they detonated and the buildings collapsed like flowers in a hail storm.

They were designed to detonate only after each one of them had experienced the first impact and replicated into three discs. And the detonation trigger was the fulfilment of criteria specified above.

We knew we had no chance now. Because for this we had no counter at all. Targeting the mother spaceship was impossible because it was somehow managing to fool our systems into believing that the randomly changing location coordinates were correct, whereas they were not. It was generating constantly evolving location coordinates, by generating multiple instances of its heat and physical signatures. There were almost a million of them and it was difficult to tell which one represented the actual mother spaceship.

And they had perfected this disguise by adding another security layer. Because even when it fired a missile, it scattered its signatures across the space, and our systems were confused to assess the trail of the missile and tracking the mother spaceship was nothing less than finding a drop of water that you had dissolved in an ocean. This confused our algorithm and our missiles detonated in the mid air.

It was warfare at a highly advanced level. That made use of every intelligent technology. And our systems could not match their agility. 

However, if we do not figure out a solution soon, it is very likely that today might be the last day of our species on our home planet.

We were desperate to know a clue that would help us understand this mechanism and breach its shield? 

“There it is!” Screamed one of our scientists.

“It indeed is a highly advanced approach to fooling any system by self replicating every signature of its physical existence. But if we look closely there is something that offers a salient view of its core defence mechanism.

These self replicating physical signatures spread like a huge circle and by examining the circle it is obvious that it follows a pattern to form this circle. Think of a fully matured sunflower that was almost 2 miles across. And assume every seed on the sunflower is the false physical signature of the mother spaceship, except one. Just one!

If we break this sunflower into cones, and then use heat sensors and laser cameras to identify the release of missiles, we will be able to track the mother spaceship.”

He looked at us and all of us stared at him with strange looks, which represented hope that is sure, but not exactly sure. Yet, it wants to pursue the idea, because there is no other choice. With these faces and half enthusiastic hopes we agreed to pursue the idea.

So, 

• We determined its diameter 

• We also determined its radius

We knew its centre, but it would be wrong to assume that the mother spaceship is in the centre. So we divided the circle into cones. And via our still active satellites we focused the lazer cameras on these cones. And these cameras possess the ability to detect any sort of shift in energy. Even if it is a millionth of a joule that experiences a shift in energy at microsecond level. And we knew the release of the missile will cause a flux in the energy in one of these cones. ( In one of the seeds in the sunflower.)

The spaceship fired its missile from one of the cones, and as usual it formed its exact and multiple signatures and filled the cone with them. However, our laser cameras and heat detection sensors noticed something that we had been trying to isolate so desperately.

In this region of the cone, there was an increase in heat and brightness for a millionth of a second, and then instantly the space in the cone was filled with similar signatures of heat and light. Disguising its presence.

But, when and where this shift in energy took place was the actual location and time of the mother spaceship in that cone. 

However, we still were not sure if it was firing from the same spot always. So, we had to calculate time intervals and study every cone as well. Then we could develop a trail of its path and locate its exact position.

We observed every cone, and it was clear that it was not firing at us from the same cone. it was firing at us from different cones.

Now, we needed to know its moving pattern. It was moving in circular formation and it was firing missiles at regular intervals. We recorded its path and the exact timings in this path when it fired at us. And luckily, it fired at us at regular intervals, by locking the exact timings it fired at us from these cones, we used the readings established via laser cameras and heat sensors to pinpoint exact spots that it fired from via these cones. And we locked these points in our system. 

With its trail pattern now recorded by our system and its exact firing positions identified in each cone. From the million sunflower seeds we could easily tell which seed actually represented the mother spaceship.

We launched our missiles, targeting each cone. We had to target each cone because we did not want to miss hitting the mother spaceship this time.   Our missiles after reaching a certain height waited in the absolute stealth mode targeting the exact spot in each cone. And as predicted, the mother spaceship fired at us from one of the cones. Our nuclear missile on receiving inputs from our command centre, fired, and it penetrated the shield of the real mother spaceship.

Then the entire circle of its false physical signatures disappeared and we could see the actual mother spaceship on fire and losing its balance. It hit the ground in 2 minutes from impact. 

Now, it had lost its ability to launch missiles and we made its crew captive.

But our senior members negotiated with them and today they live in one of our main sectors on our planet. We have learned so much from their mother spaceship and the crew from this mother spaceship has been a great source of learning, because their knowledge of the universe is vast. So vast, that we only know 1% of real physics that is applicable to the Universe across all verses. 

And, few of Their members can live forever, because They have been designed from the gene of Gods. And it remains to be seen whether They would want to gift us this unique gene combination. So far They have not revealed anything about it because They feel humans still are not worthy of such a gift. But They somehow appear to be sure that there will be a few who will someday possess this gene too. When and how, we do not know yet. 

Recently they revealed some new secrets to us about generating power, endless supply of power, without using anything. Just a device and it generates so much power that it can fulfill the energy needs of the entire planet. We are working on it now. 

We had proposed to develop a spaceship for them, so that They could go back to their planet. But according to them, once They enter human civilisations, the planet where the gene of Gods is possessed by most of the population, becomes a restricted planet for Them. And on war missions like these, They either send only men or just women, that way They ensure that only half of the gene sequence is available to any civilisation They come in contact with, if  such crashes occur.

Gods afterall are superior thinking beings, Who think of every consequence beforehand. Because by handing over the reins of the universe to unworthy Gods, They will risk losing the balance of the universe that is very difficult to maintain. That is why Gods exist, the true guardians of the universe!

And our civilisation managed to crash the spaceship of these Gods, or was it They wanted us to crash Their spaceship, because They wanted to answer our prayers. And our longing for Heaven like Earth. Who knows!

But if you want to know what we learned from These complete Gods, please refer to the science fiction novel, They Loved in 2075. You will enjoy reading this exciting and highly romantic science fiction. Because Gods too believe in love and falling in love. And maybe in 2075, humans will be experiencing a famine of new kind, that of emotions and true human feelings. 

And this science fiction is a precursor to this world that we can change for the good. Just like the Gods wanted it to be for our future generations.

We will have to act now, because Gods may not be willing to always allow the crash of their mother spaceship, because the Gods Who live in this secret sector with us, still miss their Goddesses who live on Their home planet. To which they can never fly back. 

So, we owe Them this much for Their great sacrifice. So let there be love and let there be peace in 2075, and we can plan it well by referring to scifi novel, They Loved in 2075.
