A Night of Reflections (Not Edited)

Office of the Mayor of City H.

The mayor of City H was looking at a stone, resembling an uncut crystal in his hand. This crystal is why humans had begun to conquer the galaxy. After the discovery of a kind of crystal, where there was literally condensed energy, humans began to try to replicate this in a laboratory, and as much as the final product is not even 10% of the original, it was a great advance for mankind.

Instead of large nuclear power plants, hydroelectric power plants, or using coal, these crystals began to be used to supply entire cities with energy. Rockets, which previously had gigantic compartments for fuel, now had more space to carry other things, thus starting a colony on the moon and the natural satellites of the nearest gaseous planet.
