The year 2175. Somewhere in a kindergarten on Earth in Hope City.
”Now everyone please turn to page 14 in the textbook. Today, we'll be discussing the story of our great leader, President Luo's childhood.” Within the bright classroom, the female teachers in the classroom recited with emotion, ”President Luo was born in a poor household, and ever since he was a boy, he had been very hardworking. Every day, he would busy himself by helping his mother with the cleaning and while she was cooking, he would be at her side studying as best he could.
”One day, there was a typhoon outside. Windows were creaking from the wind, and the rain had splattered into the house.
”He quickly went over to close off the window, and after closing the window, he discovered a piece of spider web that had been blown apart by the wind. However, the spider kept on knitting its web under the raging wind but the wind continued raging intensely, blowing the spider away each time. Still, it crawled back up with its spider silk and continued knitting its web.
”When he saw this, he thought, 'Even this has such perseverance and an indomitable will, much like us humans. How else can we not be like this tiny spider?'
”When President Luo was younger, he wasn't afraid of being exhausted. He was indomitable and brave so that he could contribute greatly to mankind when he grew up.”
Just before the teachers sat a row of children that had just learned to walk. However, every single one of them wore a serious expression.
…
”What's this mess? Is this the current textbook?”
Within the hologram at the front was a light distortion. Only a flickering figure covered in light could be seen within the display, but it would occasionally disappear as if the signal would be cut off at any moment.
The first officer was a middle-aged man that carried a forced smile on his face while being covered in sweat.
Following the passing of a senior-level officer like Bi Jianping, Luo Yuan retreated behind the scenes. This returned the political rotation to normal, and the leader at this moment was already the fifth generation since Luo Yuan.
However, the leader that was always known to be tough was currently frightened.
”T-this is, every human's love for you, and is history's evaluation of you. After all, there wouldn't be today's mankind without you. They won't be able to write off your achievements.”
”All these are meaningless to me!” The light figure seemed to be shaking its head. ”Forget it. It won't affect the governance, just let it be.”
It was only after the voice died down and the hologram turned off that the middle-aged man was finally relieved. He wiped his sweat, and also had the surname Luo. His name was Shengwei and his grandfather along with his prominent family had given him an enormous political war chest along with unmatched influence.
However, the only time he saw his grandfather was back in the virtual reality world. Following his grandmother's passing, he had never once set eyes on him ever again.
To this day, the only impression left on him was a commanding presence.
Every time he was faced with such a presence, he would feel a tremendous amount of pressure. Not everyone could withstand the pressure coming from someone that was branded as a god. The terrifying pressure almost stopped his heart for a moment. It did not matter if the presence was felt through a hologram. If he did not have a big heart, he probably would not have been able to stand up against the terrifying presence.
After some time, he gradually recovered and continued processing the documents.
Nowadays, the humans were not in such good shape. The dark clouds of war had shrouded the entire solar system. Although the negotiations with the Baja Civilization had been ongoing, both sides had not ceased their probing efforts at all. Throughout these 20 years, the Baja Civilization and the humans had sent hundreds of reconnaissance ships at each other to collect intelligence on the opposing civilization.
The arms race between both civilizations had intensified, and the military forces would grow several folds every few years. Once the humans made their fatigue or weakness known, an inevitable war would begin.
