In 2016, The NASA GISS contacted the government because of an alarming news.

They discovered that the Earth’s Temperature is constantly rising, and they created a projection of temperature rise every year.

If the increase in temperature will be constant, in the year 3050 the earth’s temperature would be reaching the level that no human or any living species can survive.

The possibility of the Earth will become a complete wasteland when the temperature reaches the boiling point, and the ground will become dry, trees will wither due to lack of water contents, food will become scarce.

There is also possibility that the water will swallow the land surface when all of the ice in the Arctic region melt

But the news was hidden to the public.

The world united in 2021 to find a way to control the temperature, but it is now impossible to reduce the number of consumed fossil fuels or to raise trees to control the excessive greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere which trapping the heat in the earth.

The only way for the humanity to survive is to leave the planet and find another habitable planet, but the problem is that we still don’t have the technology to create such feat.

Thousand of different scientist from all nation band together to study and find a way.

It might be the time we have left is not enough for us to find a way.

But after 200 years of despair unable to find a way to solve a problem to create a ship that can withstand the damage of colliding asteroid or other hard substance in space but a miracle occurred within this year.

A significant amount of giant asteroid started orbiting the Earth without being pulled by the gravity and inside those are is metal so strong that it can withstand the harsh space.

The discovery of such metal, and by studying its molecular structure took the world 100 years before the replication is possible, and within the same year, the construction began.

100 Colonization ship was made, each ship can hold 1 million people.

The ship exterior is the layers of a layer of the new metal, and by the use of five nuclear reactors as it’s primary power source, and a large solar panel utilized as an alternative source of energy.

The year 2672 the colonization ships left the earth.

Five years after the historic event.

I’m staring at the sky; I’m the oldest scientist left here in the land, I turned around and said

“Let’s do it; there are more work to do if I want to achieve my goal.”

I entered a building and used the elevator to go down deep beneath the ground.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

30 mins later

I arrived at place where the testing area and a young boy wearing a lab coat greeted me and told me

“Sir everything is all green! We can start the experiment again; we completed just in time.” (Young Scientist 2)

“Ok, operate the machine, I would like a volunteer!’ (Oldest Scientist)

“I’ll do it!” (Young Scientist 1)

A young Asian boy raised his hand to become the guinea pig.

The young boy entered the pod and placed a mask on the face.

When he’s inside and pod is sealed tight,

“Let’s begin! operator release the gas.” ( Oldest scientist)

“STARTING! RELEASING THE GAS!” (Operator 1)

“GAS RELEASED!, Monitoring heart rate and brain activity.” (Operator 2)

After few minutes of waiting

“Good, is there any changes happening?” (Oldest Scientist)

“The subject vitals are showing signs of entering suspended animation, respiratory rate, blood pressure cardiac output are slowing down. The body temperature is entering the zero line.” ( Young Scientist 2)

If this succeeded, we can put the people to sleep forever and even if they die, they won't feel a single thing.

They sought refuge here after our broadcast four years ago.

Why did they seek refuge?

There was a miscalculation in the projection.

The Earth temperature drastically change during the creation of the ship.

A lot of people died because of the excessive heat in the surrounding, and standard air conditioning machine is not sufficient.

“Sir! He’s already frozen entered the state of suspended animation!”

“Good, let’s wait before we extract him out” ( Oldest Scientist)

An hour pass and I gave the signal to take him out and revive him.

The pod opened and released a cold air.

Three people started to extract the frozen body in the pod.

“Be careful! In that state, he’s ultimately fragile.” (Oldest Scientist)

I shouted at the young scientists that are extracting the subject.

They placed him in a thawing machine we made.

after an hour, the thawing is complete.

“There is no sign life!” (Operator 2)

“Use the defibrillator! Try to revive him” (Oldest Scientist)

We sought to resuscitate him, but he’s already dead.

“It’s a failure; we’ll hold a funeral for him,” I said in disdain voice.

After the funeral

 I went back to my room and started writing again and analyzing the data we got from the experiment.

Depression is starting to sink in, compared to the senior and much-experienced scientist, my team right now are a former student or recent graduates who aspired to become an expert.

I hung my head down and shrugged my shoulder.

 “Grandpa . .  are you all right?“ (Young boy)

“Yes, I’m all right, you can go back to sleep” (Old scientist)

The eight-year-old boy innocently asked me, and I can only answer him with a positive attitude.

I’m currently 67 years old; that boy is the son my daughter who died as soon as she gave birth to him.

“I’ll do my best for you not suffer this hardship” I remade my resolve while looking at the child that went back to sleeping without having any problems.

Then suddenly I thought of a fantastic idea, and I wrote in the paper and went to sleep.

In the next morning, I gathered everyone in the dining hall and gave them a speech about my idea. 

Without taking any more time, we started working again.

The remaking of the pods used in the cold-sleep technology, and the approach, rather that freezing him at a fast rate. We are going to make him sleep and slowly decrease the temperature until he entered the state.

Somewhere inside the laboratory. 

In that afternoon, several men plotting something that which will not bring good to anyone.

“Entering this place was the right choice” (Bald man)

“Yeah, if they manage to create the thing they explained in the dining hall, we are going take over his place and kill everyone. Use that thing and survive this world.” (Mohawk Man)

“what if they retaliate?” (Short Haired Guy)

“You aren’t listening at all, then if they did retaliate, kill them without any mercy” (Mohawk man)

“The Old dude is a big shot. He led the last 30 years of world project and completed the nuclear reactor that used on those ships..” (Bald Old-man)

“do you know him?” (Bald Man)

“yes, he’s a very famous scientist, a genius who was born in wrong time and we can bet that success rate of this project high enough.” (Bald Old man) 

They are the people who only think for themselves.
