2200
A young man was lying on the bed watching the reporter talk the details of the battle.
Sam thought, 'Finally we have the hope break the blockade.'
Sam was a well known genius in the field of space geology and space archaeology, one of his biggest discovery had made material science leap ten years. Sam May look like an young man but he was already 30 which young for current federation where average life had reached 200.
Sam then got off his bed looked at the red sky and yawned, he quickly freshened up and sat to eat his breakfast. But suddenly he froze and the spoon in his hand dropped, because in front of his eyes a message came.
[System Loading....]
'Am I hallucinating' while he still thought rationally he was still hoping for it to be true.
After few second's the system loaded.
[Exploration system Activated]
[Current exploration radius 1 Au]
[Exploration Level 0 - 2 Level Civilization]
[Current exploration type - Ore Resources]
[Increase Exploration Radius - 3 Grade 2 Energy Unit]
[Increase Exploration Level - 10000 Grade 2 Energy Unit]
[Unlock new type - 100 - Grade 1 Energy Unit]
"Hello system"
...
"Uh scan"
...
"Explore"
[Ding]
[Exploring]
Sam had finally confirmed that he was not hallucinating, but he still didn't confirmed the system was true, as it maybe a trap by some higher leveled civilization, but again why would such civilization come to him and use such ways.
[Exploration successful]
[Grade 0 ore - 20]
[Grade 1 ore - 8]
[Grade 2 ore - 0]
A map Came into Sam mind and he saw various resource points with white as Grade zero and yellow as grade one. Sam quickly turned on his Tab and searched for the Martian resource map with his grade 3 authority, very quickly he found the location and he was excited on the spot as he could confirm 12 Grade 0 resource point and 4 Grade one resource point.
After Few minutes Sam calmed down and looked at the rest of the resource point and found one of the grade one unoccupied resource point was on Mars while rest were in the asteroid belt. While observing the Grade 1 resource Sam thought for a while and then reacted.
'Holy cow isn't this my current research location.'
This made Sam happy and sad at same time as he could confirm his research but he didn't find any new resource.
He focused on the Grade 1 resource on his map it zoomed into it and more information about the resource came.
[Titanium ore]
[Depth 250 meters]
[2100 tons]
[Secondary resource Graphene]
[20 tons]
Sam nodded he had expected the result.
Leaving his breakfast he opened his laptop and quickly imported his results form the system into his database and sent a report to his teacher.
Sam 'Done.'
Suddenly his stomach growled.
'Oh no my breakfast'
For next half an hour Sam finally finished his cold breakfast, Sam then booked a cab to the site.
................................
400 km away from Sam an Area was surrounded with fencing and a small building was built next to it.
An Old man with a burly body was sitting on a computer making a model of the ore. He was then attracted by an email.
'Sam.'
The Old man was very proud of his student, who could contribute to the current war and most important he was fond of rocks.
'Does he have some doubts' he open the email with doubts and was surprised.
'He completed it.' He started to read the data and nodded. 'It is close to my approximations and he even knew about Graphene. He sure is known as genius in geology, Ah I am getting old, but I would still like to see the scene outside the solar system.'
Augustus was about 110 years old this year and he still had a long life ahead but he knew the situation of Earth was critical which was not disclosed to the public.
He then looked at the Asteroid belt exploration plan.
'if only we could find Grade 2 materials we could then mass produce Fusion Engine.' If any Grade 3 or lower Member hear this they would be surprised as Federation did not disclose the successful testing of Fusion Reactor because it was not possible to repeat the situation as the test depleted the Grade 2 reserve of Earth.
Their only hope was in Asteroid belt and it needed them to cover every asteroid and Earth didn't have such technology which could scan in huge area, and it needed them to go through them one by one.
'The higher ups should know that we don't have enough time, and maybe this will be our only chance to clear up the rebels as someone should want to mess things up.'
As every coin had two sides Federation too had its internal resistance who want to surrender to Galois civilization.
Augustus sighed and uploaded the data which was soon accepted and in few days the mining will be started. As he went out of his room he saw a figure which made him smile.
Sam too saw his teacher smiling at him and walked towards him.
He complimented "You are getting better and better in composition research."
"Thank you teacher."
"Hmm, Well why are you here on a holiday."
"Well teacher I want to request an Expedition to the Asteroid belt."
