The 890 Jump reached the thermosphere in just under two minutes. Mirabel, one of the Commanders of Novus who was brought to life by the Founder after they arrived in this world, served as the Captain of the Origin. And, with the exception of Mirabel, everyone in the spaceship had entered space for the first time. This layer of space was the same layer where most of the satellites operated.
Robin only needed to demonstrate their spacecraft's capabilities to the Premier; there was no need for the ship to get to the exosphere. Similar to the Premier and reporters seated in the lounge, this was Robin and Sauvik's first trip into space. The co-pilot position gave Robin and Sauvik the ideal vantage point from which to observe the area from the ship.
"Never in my life did I ever think I will be able to visit space." When Sauvik became a little emotional, he expressed his thoughts. When he spoke, his eyes started to mist up a little. Robin was actually a little sensitive as well, but he kept it to himself. Rather, he said.
"What are you getting all emotional about. The entire galaxy is ours to conquer."
"Not gonna lie Supreme Commander, I am excited to travel the universe of this world." Mirabel made a remark. Among the commanders of Robin's army, she was more outgoing and didn't think twice about telling Robin what she thought.
In addition to her attractiveness, this was the reason Robin chose her to be his personal pilot. Although she was technically 90% robotic, this did not diminish her humanity. The other women weren't involved in this short space journey since Sigret and Myrene were preoccupied with running the North Korean palace. Sigret had to deal with Beijing-based Chinese officials as well, who would undoubtedly want updates from their Premier. She had to continue passing for the Premier to trick the officials.
"But we will need a space station if we want to start the space travel." As he began to reflect, Sauvik said.
"That is easy for me. We have the technology to construct one, and even I have the ability to build a few space stations. In order for people to travel to space without using spacecraft, we will also need to construct space elevators that can reach the space stations."
"Yes, we will require several of those. This will protect humanity from alien invasion if they even tend to do so by infiltrating us. Only selected spacecraft would be permitted to touch down on Earth's surface; all other craft would be required to land on space stations and use the elevators, giving us constant access to their whereabouts." Sauvik responded because he recognized the underlying circumstance right away. He has spent the last few days learning about space and actively attempting to comprehend the effects that space travel might have on Earthlings.
The premier and the reporters were simply busy admiring the beauty of the planet. They were astounded by how stunning the Earth appeared from space. The Premier was viewing the blue Earth while deep in concentration. He could make out some of the land masses as well as scattered white clouds.
Since they were on the sunny side of the planet, everything was well lit and clear. The spaceship was quite covert, thus it was hard for it to be seen by other satellites' cameras until some satellites were actively trying to find their spaceship.
The starship floated in the vacuum and halted. Robin and Sauvik left the cockpit to check on the Chinese after their world had been flipped upside down.
"I hope the travel was a pleasant one." said Robin. Everyone who had been taking in the scenery straightened their stance. They temporarily lost sight of the fact that the person who sent them into space was a monster in and of himself.
The Premier unbuckled his seatbelt and carefully stood up from his chair. He meticulously knelt down before Robin and made a bow. This sudden gesture of the Premier scared Robin himself, let alone all the journalists and Sauvik.
The Premier did the famous bow by putting his forehead on the ground and showing utmost respect to Robin.
"What are you doing?" When he asked, Robin furrowed his brows. He was curious as to what the Premier was doing.
"China is prepared to serve North Korea's interests in the present and in the future. As the leader of China, I sincerely hope that you will treat China with respect when you annex our nation." Even as he spoke, the Premier bowed his head. Hearing the words, made the journalists realize what he was trying to say and they too suddenly out of nowhere went on their knees and started babbling about safe guarding of their country and hope he was kind.
"All of you shut up." A little enraged, Robin yelled at them. Everyone, who was already hunched over on their knees, grew more rigid as a result yet kept their position. They raised their heads and simply stared at Robin, trying to determine if he would kill them out in space.
"You believe that by pleading for pardon and compassion, you will be spared. I've already said that I don't want to be a dictator. No nation will be annexed by North Korea. Not even South Korea, and we won't let any other nations join us. All you have to do is go back and tell everyone what you saw and organize a summit of all world leaders in Pyongyang. It will be there where everything will be clear." Robin spoke in a somber voice.
He didn't bring the Premier here to subjugate their country or any other country for that matter. He had ambitions of his own. The Premier now appeared distressed. If Robin were any other man, he might have been persuaded by giving him wealth and power, but he wasn't deceived by either.
The Premier attempted to influence him by making him feel sorry for him since he wanted to learn North Korea's technologies and become as powerful as it in the future, but it appeared that avenue couldn't be followed at all.
He could also see that Robin was staring at him in the same manner that one might stare at rodents, with a want to murder him and disdain. If he didn't want to die, he had to start paying close attention to his steps going forward.
If he could ever escape this situation, he first wanted to exact revenge on North Korea, but knowing that he could turn back now forced him to decide against doing so if he wanted to survive. If he ever felt the urge to exact retribution, he would die alongside his country since the technology this nation possessed was beyond his grasp.
While everyone on board the ship was free to wander around and take in the sights of the spaceship and the surrounding area, the 890 Jump spent some time exploring the surrounding area. The 890 Jump arrived back at the palace on Earth after 30 minutes in space.
As 890 Jump landed, Sigret and Myrene were waiting for him. While the others were both alarmed and delighted, Robin and Sauvik had smiles hidden beneath their masks. First space travel was bound to be a memorable one.
"You all can roam the country, travel in planes and experience the country. No limitations will be placed on you, but I must caution you that the North Korean populace may not see you favorably given that they are becoming more educated and becoming aware of the ways in which you have taken advantage of them. Be very careful, then." While addressing the reporters and the Premier, Robin said.
The Premier almost fell over as he exited the elevator due to this. He had no idea that the country's citizens were also learning about the outside world. This was a source for concern because a country's population determined that country's future.
For this reason, many nations purposefully kept their citizens illiterate so that they would constantly be ignorant, or if they were taught, it was done so that the government and rulers would always be portrayed in a favorable light. Mostly, this included changing the past. The same applied to unemployment.
No administration would eliminate unemployment. This would mean that the labor force would be more costly and keeping unemployment would give access to cheap labor. Some desperate guys would always be willing to perform the same task for a much lower fee. It was for this reason that communism initially gained popularity, but with time, they strayed from the original doctrine.
Robin and Sauvik simply left since they had lost interest in this group of people. The Premier than followed Myrene who was the guide of their trip and she had taken upon herself to show them around. Robin and Sauvik with Sigret went on to their work place where the next phase of the country's progress would be decided.
They had decided to call the leaders of all nations within two weeks and start the process.
