Sunlight streamed through the window of Alexander's office, bathing him in warm light. The curtains were drawn, and he was just working on some papers while watching television where the female news anchors were reporting the news of the first fast-food chain in St. Petersburg.
It has been one of his many plans to introduce the fast-food restaurant concept in this world, giving him a new source of income to fund future ambitious projects such as the space program and possibly the internet for military use.
The space program is already underway or should he say, under construction. The launch pad and the necessary infrastructure to run it. Alexander's goal of building a space program is to make Ruthenia stronger in all aspects of modern warfare. A satellite that can pick up signals from enemy mainland or airspace, take a picture or video from above, and send it to the Ministry of Defense or the Foreign Intelligence Agency, for research purposes, and many more.
To fund the Space Program of the Ruthenia Empire, I'm gonna need each and one of you to donate this book a powerstone. The more powerstone the better. This is crucial for world domination. You are all citizen of this Glorious Ruthenian Empire, you are expected to contribute.
