[A Story] Ch. 2 - SGW91580 The New World

SGW91580 is a small country which has the most advance science and technology. In this country, you can see several bullet trains without a driver. Almost every town and city in the country has a train station. However, nowadays, these trains are becoming obsolete because of the new rainbow catapult transport system.

This rainbow catapult will shrink you to become a light particle so that human beings can travel at the speed of light. In a few seconds, you will reach your destination. Once you reached your destination, you will return to your original size. It is very convenient because you can easily remember what sub-light highway you need to take. To go to a place which is near to the any of the 7 major cities namely R, O, Y, G, B, I, V, you must take the either Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo or Violet tube and touch the place in the mini-LCD screen where you want to go. Almost all of the places in SGW91580 are accessible by the rainbow catapult except those military installations, prisons and other secure locations. If the place has a lot of opaque buildings, it will take several seconds to reach the place.

Aside from technology advancement, science in the country has achieved great breakthroughs such as genetic engineering. The country had been creating cute and furry pets (called Mojackos) that brighten the day of any human being owner. These pets have been invented in order to help eliminate stress of the owner as well as the people close to the owner. Statistics shows that 99.99% of Mojacko owners have been performing very well in their work and don’t show any signs of stress in everyday life. Another great breakthrough is the discovery of the cure of AIDS. Several group of scientists discovered that the plants growing in the planet Xesevol contains elements that can destroy the AIDS viruses. So far, 90% of the AIDS carriers in the country have been cured while the rest have showed unexpected complications such as unlimited sex drive. Some of them become impotent. Scientists are still researching the factors that resulted to these complications. Previous experiments on dogs and selected human beings don’t show these complications after taking the cure.
