Emigration

3 Years Later

Raj: "How is Raghav?"

Raj and Prabhav walk towards the control room as they talk.

Prabhav: "He is much better."

"It won't be long before he fully recovers."

Raj: "It's quite a short recovery time, isn't it?"

Prabhav: "How can you say that? He didn't even explore 10% of the Poison World before being rescued."

"And he even laid down in bed for more than two years."

Raj laughs and says, "Don't mind it."

He pats his friend's shoulder and calms him.

Raj: "No matter what happened, it's good that Raghav made a speedy recovery, isn't it"?

Prabhav: "You're right."

Seeing that Prabhav's mood has improved, Raj asks him about the situation on Mars.

Raj: "How's the situation of the Martian World Tree."

"It should be reaching its initial level around now."

Prabhav: "That's true."

"I have sent 5 Astronauts this time."

"All of them are fully equipped with all kinds of testing devices and rescue devices."

"In this trip, they will fully record all the changed parameters of the environment immediately surrounding the World Tree."

"Relevant testing will be carried out, and if deemed safe, we will try to have an astronaut stay under the tree without any protective suit."

Raj: "Hey, isn't it dangerous to stay there without the protective suit."

Prabhav looks at Raj like an idiot.

Prabhav: "We are planting the world tree so that we can live there without the protective suit, aren't we?"

The small talk between them ends when the relevant tests begin to take place.

All kinds of data and results are passed down from Mars and calculated here with the supercomputers.

Sam (Tester): "Sir, the soil data has been tested."

Prabhav: "What are the results?"

Sam: "According to the results, the soil content is not completely the same as that on the Earth."

Prabhav: "So it means that the transformation isn't over yet."

Sam: "No, sir, it is over."

Prabhav: "HUH…"

Sam: "Sir, we have found traces of life in the soil."

"When we tested these specimens from mars, it was found that many of these are lifeforms native to mars."

"They have been born on mars."

"And there are also certain bacteria and organisms native to Earth; however, there is a high chance they fell and settled on Mars during the last trip of the Pioneer 001."

Soon multiple tests were run, and results were found.

In the end, it was concluded that even though the environment on Mars hasn't changed completely to match Earth, it can still completely support human life.

Prabhav: "How mysterious."

"How fascinating"

Raj saw the expressions of all the scientists.

He could see the curiosity burning inside of them.

They all wanted to reach out and uncover the mysteries hidden on Mars.

However, it wasn't the time for that yet.

Since it was possible to support human life on Mars, it meant that it was time for people to be transferred.

Soon the relevant departments were informed, and the relocation news was spread.

{News for Interstellar Migration}

{Dear Citizens of Earth Empire.

The Earth Empire Space Agency has successfully transformed the Earth's Moon and the Planet Mars to become safe and habitable for humans.

However, due to constraints of available technology, we have not been able to export huge and bulky machinery from Earth.

This leads to underdeveloped facilities on Moon and Mars.

After serious discussions, we at Earth Empire have decided to establish a team of Emigrant Workers who will travel to the Moon and Mars to participate in the manual construction.

People from around the globe are requested to share this news with all possibly interested people.

At the same time, Earth Empire will also establish a separate department to handle the affairs of the Moon and Mars.

Their respective agencies will be responsible for all the subsequent notifications and details.

Also, a series of remuneration will be decided for the Emigrant Workers.

They will also be provided with an optional remuneration of owning a legal identity of "Lunarians" and "Martian" along with a residential house on the planet.

Applications for Emigrations will begin on 20th August 2048}

...…

Soon the newsletter officially released by the Earth Empire was presented to the public and became a huge hit.

Everyone was elated with the oncoming of the era of Interstellar travel.

At the same time, many other unofficial rumors began to spread.

They included the results of the Martian environment research as well as the changes that could be brought by the artificial changes made by man to nature.
