Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 24: Flash-Forward

While I summarised the power play and basic frame body of the party in the action of this 'Star Time Project' my hands move towards an obscure drawer in my study table. From there I pulled out a journal.

I looked at it with emotions as in this journal I consolidated all my memories from my past life in details. After leaving the hospital I was scared that at some point in time I would lose all my memories from my previous life which led me to compulsively write a journal, recording in it all my life's achievements and the civilisation developments in great details.

I am aware that life is dynamic in its nature.

Now as I pulled my journal and flip through it, I don't know what to feel?

Am I a stranger or someone with a family?

I looked around the study room, I watch Qiang finishing up his work, I see Xiao Wei reading on the armchair. I am acutely aware of their clingy nature.

Thus I find myself constantly debating, should I accept this family or not?

Let's just roll with the fact that I owe a life debt to Bai Chang and I will repay it to her by solving the mystery surrounding her life. Then I would leave all to the God of Fate 'Shiming' to decide on my fate.

As I flipped through the journal I pondered about the history of Star Time System.

'STAR TIME SYSTEM'

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Established in the year 2090 A.D. the human civilization progressed toward star travel as travelling from one planet to another became very easy and less time and money consuming.

Thus this era became famous as Star Time System.

The foundation for this system was laid down by the project 'Star Time', from this project later the coveted warp engines and core drive transport models were derived and further developed pushing the human civilisation to another great shift.

The different countries were later developed as federation units with few key authorities holding on to a few critical positions of power. The project changing it all was 'Star Time Project' and the credits for its development was shared by the five superpowers 'Alpha'; 'Beta'; 'Gamma'; 'Delta'; 'Eta'.

Various minerals were discovered anew on different satellites and planets. Like from our own moon more of natural methane and carbon dioxide as natural ores were obtained and from Mercury a special type of power ore was discovered that became a source of pyrrhic power, it became an upgrade to coal but much more environmentally friendly with greater mineral life cycle and more such produces was obtained, driving another revolution in the field of energy resources on earth.

While societal developments saw major upgradations but there were few 'Elites' throughout the newly generated system. These elites were 0.5% of the total population with the power to influence changes on the rest of the population.

This entire golden period lasted for a thousand years. 3090 A.D.

After which a major change occurred under the surface of goodness and gilded development.

"Mamma Mamma I have some doubts."

"Huh"

I broke through my reverie and looked toward Xiao Wei.

This child

"Come, climb onto my chair" I invited him to sit on my lap.

He comes over and takes his place. On the other side, Qiang lightly coughed to remind me of his presence. I can feel he is jealous of this own son for some reason, though I am not aware of this reason.

Xiao Wei points towards a few terms in the books and asks me. "Mamma, what does it mean by 'Borborygmi'; 'Bradykinesia' and 'Choledocholithiasis'?"

"Ohh.. these.."

"Munchkin, 'Borborygmi'- means sounds of your stomach growling caused by the movement of gases from your small intestine. 'Bradykinesia'- means having slow movement or reflexes. While 'Choledocholithiasis'- means stones in the gall bladder or common bile duct." I explained.

"Ohhh then why such complicated terminologies for such simple stuff?"

(On the other side Qiang lightly laughs at this, I guess someone else here is also not too invested in tough terminologies.)

"Munchkin, it is for Doctors and health experts to differentiate between the various minute degrees of actions and their respective variations of our body and to correctly identify the degree of trauma suffered by our body."

"Okay, so that means that just pain and minor pain have different terminologies under medical literature."

"Yes, dear" I replied.

I see there is a thirst for more information in Xiao Wei's eyes, there is a drive to learn more so instead of letting it be I started lecturing him in basic medical terms and literature as well as physiology, for the whole afternoon and a better part of the evening too.

I find him to be very receptive to the high-level knowledge. I feel fulfilled while teaching Xiao Wei. May be in near future, I would teach him the future of 'Medical Sciences' It will become a good chip in his hand and it would be my inheritance or parting gift to him.

I realise that Xiao Wei's question diverted my original focus from the 'Star Time Project'.

I will look into it tomorrow then.
