Prologue-Before the dawn of humanity

Everything comes at a cost.

Long before the establishment of CFBU...

Day 1, Earth.

“Today, we’re going to launch our greatest project---the Ark!” said the president of US.

“NASA is the coolest administration ever to exist!”

“We will take all human knowledge with us this time! Plus, experts in all fields will get in the Ark, go on an interstellar travel, and establish another human settlement on a brand new planet!”

“Homo sapiens forever!!!”

Day 300, Ark.

“What’s happening? Shouldn’t we have arrived?”

Day 520, Ark.

“Contact with the Earth has been lost...”

Day 1200, Ark.

“I see another planet in the distance... Surface tempreture, 293K, atmospheric pressure, 101kPa.

“Looks as if it’s our destination...”

“Although we are told that its atmosphere is mainly made up of carbon dioxide, this planet has nitrogen and oxygen!”

“Are we, back?”

“Not really. This planet is unpopulated, and much smaller...”

Day 1250, Unknown Planet.

“Finally! We’ve landed on the new planet!”

“Wait... It’s not likely the one pictured by the probe...”

“I know why we’ve lost contact with the Earth... We’re simply too far away!”

“Luckily we have complete human knowledge in the library of the Ark...”

“Part 1, Establishment.”

“Part 2, Modern Genetic Agriculture.”

…………

Day 1800, New Planet.

“Part 22, Establishment of Political Power.”

“We are another branch of humans now. We are no longer Americans.”

“Yes! We are much more advanced then these primal Earthling Americans!”

“So we are...? Think of a more modern name. We represent human’s ultimate wisdom.”

“What about Bitians? We are now in the information age. Plus, B is the letter just after A.”

“Nice. How do we protect cultural diversity?”

“We’ll make artificial scenery outside our capital...”

“And then?”

“People will have their own culture...”

“How do we call our country?”

“Maybe... Four cities, four states, Central Federal Bitian Union?”

“Awesome!”

Year 1, CFBU.

“What’s the problem, Vice President?”

“See this.”

“As population grows, the quality of the population quickly declines... 70% of fifth-graders don’t know calculus... How can they understand Real Artificial Intelligence before they are dead?”

“I see. Here are some initiatives...”

Initiatives to improve the quality of the Bitian population

All-round examinations (Literature, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, IT) are now regularly held every year. Citizens will then be ranked A+ to E according to the total score. Those who get E three times in a row will be sent in to exile. For humanitarian issues, these people will be mercifully allowed to take some basic life necessities from CFBU.

Getting genetically modified is now an obligation for CFBU citizens. Modification include physical strengthening and intellectual strengthening.

The initiative received wide applause (since all citizens are offsprings of experts and judge each other by their academic achievement). However, the offsprings of expert mechanics, who do mainly manual job and are by no means good in terms of academic learning, angrily left CFBU and would rather stay in place less suitable for human life. (This is why CFBU can’t manufacture heavy weaponry, but TE can)

Those sent into exile, or left CFBU voluntarily, established another country called the Termish Empire, wishing to conquer the new planet one day. Soon, more joined TE because they couldn’t bear CFBU’s zero-evil policy. The first emperor of TE is the former chief mechanic. As warlocks and witchs enter TE, the heavy weaponry of TE became more and more imbued with dark magic so they have become more and more destructive.

After several decades, as the 15th President comes into power, CFBU put its quality-improving initiatives to an end. It then have become very prosperous and active, while its citizens are all astonishingly highly educated, learning calculus at primary school Grade One (They are much smarter than the mouse Doogie) and can make a fully autonomous artificial intelligence with BitOS at Grade Nine. Quantum engineering have become a hit subject in universities.

At the same time, the Termish Empire started its plan to destroy Bitcity (where there are many arrogant nerds) with an ultimate weapon. However, research is really difficult...

This is the end of the prologue. For more detailed information about what’s going to happen next, see the coming documents.
