CHAPTER 1

On the first of May 2017, Chang Won woke up saying to himself that, on this spring day, the population of China was now two billion. Holder of a Master’s degree in biology and a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Peking, this researcher realized that, if his country did not undertake an expansion within the next 10 years, there would be three billion people to feed.

It’s impossible, he repeated to himself… It’s impossible!

He took several minutes to figure out what he could do to address this problem before it was too late and millions of his compatriots were forced to resort to cannibalism. By repeating the phrase, A hungry stomach is not afraid of fear, he focused, and he came up with the following theses:

From today, all males born will be castrated and all females will have their fallopian tubes tied.

All sorts of pretexts will be made to declare war with neighboring countries, especially the USSR, to enlarge Chinese territory.

Any means that science has at its disposal will be used to create this expansion, and thus allow the Chinese people to survive and even to dominate.

He discarded the first method, for a country that does not look to its own survival will collapse within the next half century.

His second thought was also quickly eliminated, for the Russians would not hesitate to use their atomic weapons to counter a Chinese invasion; they would profit by conquering China, even if they had to exterminate all the Chinese people. There remained then only one solution, to use all scientific means possible to ensure an expansion of territory, without the other dominant countries, especially the United States, knowing that China is seeking to extend her territory.

Being a man accustomed to solving problems, Chang got up, telling himself that he needed to begin to move now, and, while dressing, he mentally took stock of the people he would need to contact in order to successfully complete his project.

Quickly finishing his breakfast, he hopped on his bike to quickly get to his research lab. at the University of Peking. As a professor at this university, he had a place reserved for his research. This place was just like the rest of the small buildings, dark and cluttered with a multitude of jars, pipes and other glass containers in which were resting or developing various biological cultures.

After making the rounds and taking notes of changes that had occurred during the last twenty-four hours, he hurried to take out of the top drawer of his desk an address book in which were written the names of the graduates from his Masters biology class, his companions in the doctorate, as well as the names of several of his friends who had finished their studies at the same time as him, but in other disciplines. Quickly, he eliminated those whom he could not trust, be it a case of them being fanatical, violent, erratic, or simply lazy. Of the approximately 40 names, he eliminated three-quarters, and, in the end, he wrote on a piece of paper the names of six people with training equal to his own. He was looking for people with a supple yet uncompromising character, and able to withstand any mishap without revealing their feelings, beings with a robotic coldness and capable of any sacrifice in order to achieve their ends.

The results revealed:

Choow Wing, 39, with a Ph.D in engineering and a specialist in explosives, was a research professor at the University of Shanghai. Single and without family ties, he had served several times in Chinese delegations in Europe as well as in North America.

Meig Hoo, 42, with a Ph.D in biochemistry, also unmarried and teaching at the University of Canton. A tenacious researcher, he was often invited to lecture in Europe.

Yan Chougi, 40, would be the only woman in the group. A doctor of chemistry, her advantage lay in the fact that she had had several apprenticeships in the United States. Like Chang, she had studied at Beijing University, where she taught while continuing her research.

Yaooh Ping, 45, had a Ph.D in biology from the University of Canton, where he taught. He had served as a consultant in several third-world countries.

Vent Thien, 39, with a Ph.D in analytical chemistry from the University of Shanghai. Although he was not involved in active politics, and was only interested in his research, his brother, meanwhile, was heavily involved in government decisions, and his high position as a functionary made him knowledgeable of all the regime’s decisions.

Finally, Maho Yeen, 40, the athlete, who had participated in the Olympics several times as a three-meter springboard diving specialist. All this did not prevent him from graduating with great distinction with a Ph.D in anatomy at the University of Peking, and from mastering three languages – French, English and Spanish.

After reviewing his short list, he made a quick decision, and then he wrote a short letter to each one as follows:

(Name of the person)

Goal: China at the door of the next century.

"It has been several years since we both completed our studies and began dedicating our time to teaching and research. In order to share the fruits of the many hours we have spent in the laboratory, I am taking this opportunity to invite you to a short meeting on the following topic:

How could our combined research help China for years to come?

I have taken it upon myself to fix the place of the meeting at Peking in my office next to my lab, for June 22.

Yours truly,

Chang Won."

After sending his letters by ordinary university mail, Chang went back to work. His present research focused on sunglasses, as an important factory producing them in Peking had made the following order several years ago: find glass which, once it is smoked, will allow people wearing it to see as well during the day as at night. For his experiments, he had as guinea pigs political prisoners from the neighboring detention center.

Scarcely a week went by before he received replies from his former study companions. All six confirmed that they would be there on the designated date. In his turn, he sent them each the names of the people who would be present at this meeting. The date: June 22 at 8 p.m. in room number three in the department of physics at the University of Peking. Then he set about to prepare his agenda, to reserve rooms for his guests and to make sure that they would be adequately fed.

That night, lying on his back in the cot of his sparcely furnished bachelor apartment, Chang, smoking a cigarette, began to think that, with the help of his classmates, he might be able to help his people to survive past the twenty-first century. A few bites of white rice, complimented by a few lettuce leaves, were sufficient to nourish our learned friend, who fell asleep, a smile at the corner of his lips.

The 22nd soon arrived, and, that morning, he showed up at the university by 6:30 so that he could amicably receive his guests. The latter, disciplined men and woman, arrived ahead of the appointed time, and, after a firm handshake and polite enquiries as to their joint health, everyone took his/her place at the oval table where there were only seven seats. Chang, a little shy amongst the high level of knowledge of those around him, opened the meeting with some tremolo in his voice, and addressed his audience thus:

"What will China be after the twenty-first century?

How will we manage to feed three or four billion people?

What will our government do when confronted by such a dilemma?

What can we do to avoid a holocaust, a nuclear war or genocide?

By combining each of our specialties, can we avoid these cataclysms?

Without involving ourselves in active politics, how can we intervene?

"That’s basically the reason for this meeting. However, I must inform you that, after all, this is illegal, and that, officially, we are meeting only to exchange knowledge of our respective research. No one needs to know that we are departing from the agenda which is in front of each of us!

Now, if some of you fear any reprisals that may arise in the future, you are entirely free to withdraw now. If that is the case, I would appreciate it if you would simply keep this gathering confidential. Are there any among you who are not in agreement with finding a solution to our overpopulation problem?

As no one made a move to get up and leave the premises, Chang mentally congratulated himself on his wise choice, and he reached out to them:

"Given that it was I who took the initiative for this convocation, I will take the liberty then to inform you first about my experiences. Of course, I still teach at this university, but I spend most of my time working, in order to make the kind of sunglasses that a person will be able to wear during the day as well as at night. I’m doing this research for a local firm, and the government has put ten political prisoners at my disposal to perform the necessary tests.

"It doesn’t sound very interesting so far, but what is of interest is that, during the last few months I’ve noticed that certain sunglasses produced could make the wearer blind, and that only after a short period of time, one to three months, to be precise. This adverse consequence obliges me to review all my data. I have not yet informed the applicant company of this, and I feel I must deepen and expand the tests before presenting the finished product. Of course, except for this harmful possibility of damaging the sight.

What would happen if the present procedure were used on a large scale and with a criminal purpose?or for the goal of eventually helping China forlet’s sayits future expansion!"

Another Mao! Vent Thien exclaimed.

This joke had the happy effect of lightening the atmosphere and provoking general laughter, before the serious Yan Chougi took the floor:

"Before I agreed to come to this small meeting for the stated purpose of sharing knowledge, for a long time, I wondered whether this did not have a purpose other than to help the China of tomorrow. As for me, I believe I hold a secret recipe. Like Chang, I have thought long on the subject, and my research leads me to believe that I possess a secret which is worth more than 100 atomic bombs.

"Indeed, my experiences with the silkworm and, of course the tissue which flows from it, allowed me to discover that certain people are allergic to this material when it is combined with certain dyes and hormones. So I detailed this type of allergy so as to eventually isolate a gene that, like skin cancer, can be transmitted through the tissue and affect the wearer to such an extent that it can cause raging mononucleosis, or even the person’s death.

Evidently, it was while researching to neutralize this gene that I realized how dangerous it could be if used inappropriately, as you say, Chang, to..help our country. I don’t know where all this could lead us, but, for my part, I will go along with the decision of the group, if we ever come to some consensus on the common use of our knowledge.

After a moment of silence, everyone seemed to be concentrating on the two secrets that had been revealed, and it was Maho Yeen, the athlete, who finally broke this short moment of collective meditation to address his colleagues thus:

Confronted with the two previous statements, I feel a little taken aback, I who have a government mandate to experiment with shoes for our athletes and for our other people. Well, I believe I would rally around the group in order to pursue such research, if it all helps one day to serve my country, perhaps by causing phlebitis or breaks in the mechanism of the knees.

Unlike the others who were still thinking this over, Vent Thien surprisingly spoke up immediately:

I know that you tend to think that, as my brother is a high political functionary, I myself am aligned with his political views. I assure you, and I swear this solemnly to you, that I myself am a moderate, and I am in no way looking to satisfy a personal quest for ascension within the Chinese system. For the moment, you know, in accordance with the latest interest of the State, I am conducting a series of experiments with humans, followed by analyses in the laboratory, on the dangers of smoking. We are at a stage in our experiments where we can solemnly affirm that it is the companies who commercialize tobacco products who ensure the dependence of their customers by adding a substance which, like cocaine, makes people who smoke deliberately dependent. From there to exploiting this dependence by making a straight-out carcinogenic product is but a step, and it seems to me that we could easily take it, if it were a matter of the future of the Chinese people.

Becoming nervous, Chang suddenly put out his cigarette in the ashtray in the middle of the table, while throwing an anxious look towards his former room-mate from the university. Feeling somewhat hurt by his friend’s gesture, Vent hastened to add:

Don’t worry about anything, Chang! Nothing has yet been done about this, and tobacco companies are very careful to gauge quantities in such a way as to be able to keep their customers. They don’t want to lose them!

Some jokes from the others and the atmosphere eased, till Yaooh Ping spoke:

"I, a humble researcher in the biology of how flies which affect our people, our animals and plants, I believe that I would not be of any great use at this time, except for spraying DDT on your heads, for I do not possess any secret weapons which would allow us to carry out an expansion of our country without shedding blood. All the same, after thinking about it and changing somewhat the theses of scholarly research, I am converting myself to your theories. Without doubt I could find an application for certain types of flies, such as the tse-tse, which could aid our common cause. You know, if we can find a way to classify flies, then we can easily find a way to attract these same critters. All the same, so far, the cup is far from the lip!"

Only Maig Hoo and Choow Wing hadn’t spoken yet. The two consulted each other with a look, and then Hoo addressed the group first:

I don’t know if you know it, Chang, but my research concerns only gases heavier than air, and the State, under the greatest secrecy, has asked me to furnish it with the results of my studies in order to develop biological weapons capablefor example, of putting to sleep a village such as Peking for several hours. You will understand that today I cannot say much on the subject, but I am sold on the idea of furnishing such weapons, if they ever turn out to be useful for a future expansion of the country.

Since gases are not appreciated in all their forms, as they are dangerous and uncontrollable, several of the participants made a disgusted face, until Wing spoke:

"I am the only one who hasn’t announced anything yet. I will share my invention with you, which would be aimed at the companion animals of people in wealthy countries such as the United States or Germany, in fact, the seven most industrialized countries in the world. You have probably read about it in different magazines.

"Each family unit in these rich countries has at least two pets, be it a cat or a dog. These too numerous animals need to be kept on a leash and attached in the courtyard of their residences, above all dogs, who bark constantly and oblige their masters to muzzle them or to keep them inside their houses.

In the service of the Whampoa Company, I have just taken out a patent for a collar with a radio receiver connected to an emitting tower on the roof of the house; which determines the limits of the area the animal can occupy. If the dog goes beyond the periphery of the ray from the tower, the animal receives an electric shock to the spine, thus obliging it to stay in the prescribed area. If I put my invention at the service of my country, without doubt an application could be found. I have not thought of it before today, but I must say, my dear Chang, this is exciting.

After that speech, everyone fell silent until Chang spoke to indicate that the meeting would break till tomorrow morning, so everyone could spend the rest of the day reflecting on the subject and deciding if they were convinced of the validity of the consequences of the policies presented. Then, when they had all moved toward the exit, Chang was detained by Vent Thien who asked him to stay with him on the premises. Once the others had reached the end of the corridor, he closed the door before declaring,

As you know, my brother is very close to the leaders of the country, and he told me last month that, at the summit meeting of the heads of the leading party, these people asked themselves the question, Where will China be in the 22nd century? As no one had any concrete solution to the problem of overpopulation, the word of the day was thrown out to the audience and everyone has the next six months to submit his or her ideas on the subject. I believe, then, that the idea of your little meeting coincides perfectly with that of our leaders, and, if you will allow, I will pass the word onto my brother, and he will discretely forward your project to the supreme consul. I can assure you that all this will be done very discretely, in such a way as not to create problems for you and your friends.

If you think that we can trust your brother, replied Chang, "then go forward with it, but since we are only apolitical teaching researchers, who are only trying to find a solution to the overpopulation of our country for years to come, in no way do I want to finish my days on a rice plantation on the coast or in a forest in Manchuria.

They will only try to gain our collaboration by forcing our hand; for my part, I’ve made up my mind on the subject. I prefer to kill myself a hundred times than to work with my hands tied behind my back. Be careful what you say.

Thank you for the confidence you have in me, and rest assured that I will not betray you, and that your names will not be revealed until I am quite certain that the leaders agree with your project.

Thien emphasized this by shaking Chang’s hand. Without adding anything more, the two

men walked in silence toward the exit of the university and, after a simple, till tomorrow, each took a different street in order to lose himself in the crowd.

Scarcely had he arrived in the room reserved for him by Chang, that Thien rapidly composed a telegram to his brother Leung, inviting him to communicate with him. He followed with a short walk to the government building where an official was consigned to send his message. Then, to kill time, he walked for a few hours in downtown before returning to enquire if he had a reply.

Actually, the functionary gave him a number where he could reach his brother, to ask him to join him the next day. In a few sentences and without the government employee overhearing him, Vent Thien let his brother know that perhaps he and six other researchers like him had found an embryonic solution to the great question which the leaders of the country had raised during their last council meeting.

Greatly intrigued, Leung told Vent that he was very interested in the subject, for it went without saying that whoever brought a valuable solution would be greatly rewarded by the High Chinese Authorities.

Leung confirmed to his brother that he was immediately taking the first train to Peking, and that he ought to be with them by the end of the following afternoon.

The next morning, when the meeting started, Chang informed the participants that Vent’s brother would join them at the end of the day. As the five other participants appeared very intrigued by the speed with which these events seemed to be happening, and since they feared for their own safety, they spent the whole period before noon dreaming up plans whereby they could avoid getting arrested if the Authorities refused their collaboration, and instead declared them to be enemies of the State. They agreed that the meeting would end earlier that afternoon, and that everyone would return to his and her research the next day. Thus, it was only Chang and Vent who were delegated to meet Vent’s brother.

They agreed that, in the future, if the circumstances warranted, all correspondence would go through Chang, using as a signature the following code

"Chang Won will become the Head

Choow Wing will become the Body

Meig Hoo will become the Tail

Yen Chougi will become the Paws

Yaooh Ping will become the Throat

Maho Yeen will become the Heart.

Vent Thien will become the Brain."

It was also decided that, if one day the circumstances demanded it, the only way for them to communicate would be by means of typed letters signed only with their code names. They would not respond to any communication in person or by telephone, no matter who it might be. The contact would be Chang, who would take charge of doing business with the brother of Vent, if an understanding with the government was reached. At that moment, Chang would have to inform them by courier of the place of the next meeting by signing his document THE HEAD OF THE CONTROL TO HIS STOMACH.

From here on in, all would have to return to their respective research, but this time, they would veer off course to investigate the means of weakening, lessening or even of killing entire populations with the fruits of their various researches. So they separated from the start of the afternoon, to return immediately to their labs by the first available transport.

At the end of the day, only Chang and Vent went to meet the High Functionary. It took them only several hours to inform the latter of their common project, without, however, divulging the names of their associates, but only enlarging upon the items on which they were presently working. It took them an evening to prepare a text to be transmitted to the Chinese Authorities through Vent. In the end, this took the following form:

To Whom It May Concern,

The present information is a follow-up to your last plenary meeting on the subject of:

What will become of China in the 22nd century?

Several of our leaders see no other way of understanding this other century than by controlling our country by lowering the birth rate or even by eliminating people who have reached a certain age, thereby becoming unproductive to the State. These restrictions constitute genocide, and are not worthy of the strength, the tenacity and the bravery of the Chinese people.

A group of researchers, all possessing a masters and even doctorates in the fields of biology, engineering or physics or both, believe rather that the China of tomorrow should increase its territory instead of imposing on itself cruel and useless sacrifices.

As our military and nuclear arsenal is much too reduced compared to that of the powers of the West or the U.S.S.R., we do not wish to see ourselves annihilated by these mortal weapons following what could be a third world war. If we start such a conflict, all the capitalist people, out of fear of seeing themselves invaded, will align against us to annihilate us in a war which would last only the time it takes to set off a few atomic bombs.

We are seven scholars ready to furnish subtle armaments, biological and otherwise, which would allow us, once we are well prepared, to invade neither more nor less than North America, without it costing us the loss of millions of human lives. All of this could be done discretely, in such a way as to avoid Europe feeling the need to intervene against us to come to the defense of North America. Once this continent is conquered, each Chinese person could from then on have his/her acres of earth for himself/herself and the power to procreate as he/she pleases. Our race would have enough earth for nourishing itself for the next hundred years.

The question which we pose is the following:

Is China ready to invest the millions necessary for the preparation of this expansion, and will China arrange for a person to coordinate everything, ensure the logistics and the propaganda when the moment comes? As it will all need more than five years of preparation and great sums of money, we are not asking more than to sit in front of you to explain to you, in a forthright manner, the means that we intend to use to support your projects.

Signed,

The group of seven.

P.S. Leung Thien, High Functionary of Revenue, will serve as our contact.

After returning to his office, the High Functionary had to wait more than a week before he was able to give the letter by hand to the political Chief Number One of China, the dogmatic President Ding Phon Pen.

However, the president passed over the letter. He did not even deign to find out the name of the one who had brought it, for that day, he was worried about the ten million common and political prisoners that the country now had. This unwholesome stock of Chinese society risked at any moment exploding like a sleeping volcano. They could be making underground preparations for an eruption which could happen without warning.

He took notice of the document transmitted by Leung only three weeks later, for he had negligently deposited the letter on his desk and it had to wait there, on the pile of papers, till its turn came to be opened. He rapidly read it and put it to the side, saying out loud:

Again some fundamentalists who believe that it would be easy for us to invade other continents, while we do not even have a rifle or a box of cartridges to provide to each able-bodied person in the country, and moreover, we cannot feed a marching army for more than a week. Also, we do not have a naval fleet to do this.

The letter of the seven scholars risked finishing up its days in the waste paper basket. It was only
