Capítulo 131: The Evolution. PT 1
After a long drive down the windy road, Addy felt he had escaped from the men in black. He pulled up the car and took in a deep breath. They were close to a forest, with just a few cabins around. He could not understand this. Lori was Mason’s daughter? Did that mean that she knew what was going on all these while? Was their meeting and marriage pre-arranged? Was she on a mission? Mason Ford!
Addy was scared of that man. He saw what he was capable of. He was not just a schemer, a virulent science genius, but a very dangerous man. Three days after he had been abducted and locked up in a very dark cell, he was brought out, made to wash his body and led to a room where he saw a bald headed man he guessed was Mason.
“I meet the incredible Justin at last.” He said warmly but Addy could see the obnoxiousness behind those eyes and fake smile. He was smoking a cigar, and then got up to shake hands with the young man. “I am sorry my boys had to pick you up in such a manner. The BOE will not understand what we are up to. You are welcome to The new world.”
Addy had said nothing.
“I guess your guardian must have told you about me. I am Mason Ford. I don’t know what he made you believe but you are his son. Addy is not his real son. You are Justin and he is Addy.”
‘I am Addy.”
“No. Addy cannot pass the test. Your father did not do what he was asked to do. But never mind, what matters most now is that you are here. How is your wife. I am told you are married.”
“She is good.” Addy said not sure about that.
“You were born with great abilities. I made sure you got the training and you will agree that you got a swell financial motivation. It is not every child who becomes a millionaire from a few months old and become an important figure in the globe. Come with me..”
They went out of the room and Addy saw one of the most sophisticated place in his life. Everything was automated and programmed. There were drones everywhere performing different functions.
“Science and technology has gone beyond what people think exist.” Mason said. “And with the Evolution, the world would be a better place….for us, our children and the future generation. You are a key to the door of a great future.”
Addy saw men dressed in white lab coats, everyone seemed to be busy. This was a world on its own.
“I was not privileged to watch the test live but one of the men was mine, so he recorded it and sent it to me. That place is impenetrable. I must commend you for your brilliance.”
Addy was now convinced that this man took him for Justin. He wanted to tell him that he was not Justin but stopped. What was this evolution all about? What was really going on? He asked.
“The original idea of the Evolution was propounded by the First generation Bastions. My father, Addy’s grandfather, and a bunch of fools……”
Addy realised that Mason was trying to make him believe that Justin was Aminu’s son. This was to calm him and to think he was abducted from his parents. “They splitted the processes, and gave us an EBM each. Only a few of them could collect the data. But we got in and gathered the information and modified it. Only 00030 was missing and that was Addy’s father. But you are going to solve the problem for us.
Abbas was a first class mathematical physicist and mathematician. He has a formula which is important and then you will bring the project to live. We have tried to get it for years but failed. You will get it for us.”
That was when Addy knew he was in trouble. He knew nothing about what they were talking about.
“Let me show you something.”
They walked into a large hall with a mighty screen on the wall, sophisticated electronic machines and a super computer. Super computers! What it would take an average computer to do in 20 years, a super computer will do it in a single day. Only a few of them existed in the world. There was a lot of scientist around, all doing different things.
“This is Professor kenstick.” Mason introduced an elderly man. “He is the Head of the Evolution Department.” He said to Kentstick. “This is Justin Abbas.” Mason had raised his voice a bit high and most of the scientists around heard him. They were forced to turn around. Justin?
They all began to give Addy a curious look. Was this the savant, a walking science gallery, live computer and the greatest hacker?
“I must say it is a dream come true to meet you, sir.” Professor Kenstick said and shook hand with the ‘legend’. “Can I have a picture with him?”
“Sure. We are going to see a lot of him. We will be on this together.” Mason said.
Professor posed with Addy, with a broad smile and they got some shots. Others wanted to have a shot with him. There had group pictures. Addy was tired of this. He was done living as someone else. The things Petra told him had been resonating inside of him. He was a fake.
He was not Justin and could never be Justin. He wished Justin could get in touch, so he could see what was going on. They were busy taking shots of someone who barely passed his ordinary examination, taking for the savant. Addy felt like confessing but something told him to stop.
“Can we show him a little of the future?” Mason said. Professor smiled with a nod. What they showed Addy shocked him. When the screen came on……….
“Addy!” Lori called and the sharpness in her voice brought him out of this thoughts.
He turned to see her pointing a gun at him.
“Do not try anything stupid.” She warned and he saw the way she held the gun, remembered how she had fired shots then agreed that she was not to be messed with.
“Give me your gun!” she yelled softly at him
Damn!
He was a dead man.
He remembered what they showed him and planned to do with him. Savage!
This did not come as a surprise to Addy as she pointed a gun at him. Not after what he saw her father doing. Professor Ken stick had put on the screen, and began, “there was a lot of casualties during the world war. Millions of lives were lost, casualties and people lost their loved ones. You can see some of the videos……”
Addy could see some footages of the World War 2. He saw Adolf Hitler, speaking violently. He could see him standing, with the NAZI flag, while thousands of soldiers matched past him.
“The war period witnessed scientific inventions boom. A few of the inventions that were brought by World war 2 are computers. It was the innovation of the government Code and Cipher School at Bletchley Park and Colossus. It was originally invented as a way to speed up the cracking of the Enigma codes.
Colossus was the first of many computers which have gradually shrunk in size and can be used in everyday life today. This also led to having our smart phones and the rest.
Luther Simjian, a man from Armenia migrated to America. He went on to have over two hundred inventions. In 1939, he started work on the first working ATM, but it wasn’t until 1960 he managed to convince a New York City bank to install several machines in one of their branches. Other inventions include Superglue, Medical penicillin, space technologies, Nescafe, radar, ballpoint pen, jet engines, and photocopying machines. And most of the most virulent weapons of mass destruction were invented.
At 8:16 am in 1945, an American B-29 bomber, The Enola Gay, dropped the first atom bomb, over the city of Hiroshima. So, after the war, a few men decided to put a stop to this.”
While Kenstick spoke, the videos of the things he talked about displayed in a manner that amazed Addy.
“War is inevitable. Conflicts must happen and there must be war. What could they do to make the world a better place? These men came together to form BOE. They have been in constant researches and inventions on all fields of life; medicine, science and technology, banking, entertainment and many more. And the idea of Evolution was born.
They kept it a secret, and many scientists were given parts of the projects. Mr. Mason was quick-witted enough to find a way of knowing what it was all about. He was able to extract information from the EBMs and got a 97 per cent clear idea of the project. It was nonsense. Mr. Mason made it sensible. I don’t think I can talk more about that.”
“We will show him.” Mason said. “Come with us, Sir Justin.”
