The world of tomorrow was a project that attracted a lot of attention but just like the rest of the project was from the Cardinal Group. It was personnel only. No word came out of the place, the media people caught the glimpses of several celebrities coming in and going out in super luxurious cars.

After a week, the media cameramen standing outside the premise of the location which was now known as Cardinal Park, began to say that Leo Cardinal was probably inviting the celebrities to surprise and reward his employees, since they have been making the communicators and the space elevator was pushed into the second phase.

The vessels were now carrying some robots and they were creating a proper functioning base and gradually Terraform that portion of the base to match the conditions of the earth as much as possible.

This was because the business minds in the program wanted to push the space travel thing to the second level as well. The super rich in the world would get a chance to stay on the moon, for this the company had invested heavily, they have even designed proper games and activities with the people. They have all been very enthusiastic, and Snow had given them a go ahead with only one thing as a highlight, "Safety is the paramount, train who you want and design what you want but if there is an inkling that it's unsafe, I am going to have your jobs and also the program will be closed."

The people knew that Snow as not the one to joke with them so they cooperated with the tech department and got the Zero gravity room for themselves and trained the people for the activities on the moon.

One day Lily was in her class and her best friend, looked at her and asked, "Lily, when can we go to picnic on moon?"

Lily sighed and said, "I told Baba about this, he said that Uncle Jim is working on this, I wanted to call him but Ma said that time is different and they are working round the clock so I should not bother anyone. You tell me what I can do, Cassie?"

Cassie sighed and replied, "Well, they are correct, I hear that construction is a very crucial business. Last month, one of the uncles who came to repair my tree house almost broke his back after falling from the tree. I was so scared that time."

Lily nodded like she was the little adult and patted the back of her friend, and then she said, "May be, I will go home today and ask uncle Jim about the progress and when we can come over. However, before that, you will need to train yourself. Going to space is not easy."

Cassie nodded and then they both began to read the poems from the book.

…

Leo was at home, and today he decided to help the twins learn swimming. Yes, they were just a few weeks short of completing one year birthday, but thanks to good care and nutrition, they have grown healthy and chubby like the traditional babies, and so Leo wanted to make sure they learned these skills.

He had them dressed in special baby swim suits with floats wrapped around their shoulders and googles on their eyes, this way they would not drown, and with him guiding them, it would be quick.

They had a pool inside the house, and it had been cleaned yesterday. At the moment, the twins were obediently sitting on the side, and looking at Leo who was standing in the shallow side of the pool. The young man said, "Elle, Jules, you both will be learning to swim in the water, but don't worry, Baba is here, and I will be here. Okay?"

The twins nodded, and then Leo reached out to pick them up one by one and placed them in the pool. The kids were curious but they were nervous as well, because they never experienced such a buoyant feeling. They began to fidget and Leo said, "Calm down, this is normal. I am here with you."

He reached out and held them close to him. The twins took a few minutes to calm down before the young man loosened his grip and the children were left to get a feel on their own, and Leo guided them with instructions. After a few minutes, the kids understood what he was saying and they managed to swim around a little. Then they began to giggle as they made splashes with their arms and legs.

Leo smiled at them as they played in the water, and used the communicator to record the video, before he sent it to Snow. After fifteen minutes, the kids were taken out of the pool, and then Leo gave them another shower, before drying them and putting them to sleep. The whole thing was finished, and the system said, 'Ping: Host, you taught your children how to swim, you gain the technology to produce water by fusing hydrogen and oxygen.'

The young man was shocked and then he stood up to quickly write down the information in his head and then began to discuss the details with the team of people in the Utopia research centre. The scientists were fired up with the initial hints that Leo dropped to them. This was something that could change the face of how things are going on in the planet.

However, Leo laid down a quick message, "I don't want you all to entertain the idea of how you can solve the problem on the world. If that is what you aim to do, then follow the restoration of the ecological balance. I don't give a fuck, but if you tried to use this technology to ignore the geological and the natural balance of the planet, then you would be paying a price you cannot afford. Is that clear?"

The people nodded quickly, they knew what sort of a person Leo was, his words were calm and simple but they sent a chill down their spines. They knew that Leo was a good man but they also knew that he would not hesitate in beating them to a place where death would become luxury. After all, it was an educated guess that rich men don't stay rich if they don't have grasp of the thing.

The researchers all agreed to Leo unanimously. They all knew better than trying anything stupid and try to make it about themselves.

…

The tech research was funded by Snow, after Leo informed her, and the young man smiled at this, and then after making sure that the twins were sleeping soundly, he took out his bike and rushed away to pick up Lily.

The little girl enjoyed riding behind him, Zeenat had to take a ride with Jock. After coming home, the first thing Lily did was to sit down in Leo's lap and she asked, "Baba, I want you to do something for me."

Leo was surprised by the way she said this and then asked, "What is it, baby?"

Lily sighed and said, "Well, you see, in the school, Cassie and the others know that you are building a base on the moon, and so they wanted to know when can I take them all to picnic there. Well, they have all been working hard to train themselves and living with great discipline so I thought that I can do this much for my friends. No?"

Leo was surprised, he sighed and replied, "You might be able to bring them over for a picnic, but don't make them get used to such things. You don't want them to be your friends because you get them good things, do you?"

Lily nodded, and replied, "Yes, I don't want them to think of me as their money bank. However, that would be something we can discuss when these clueless lambs get a clue of how capital works. Believe me they are as green as a grass."

Leo chuckled and said, "You are as green as a goblin. This is why you mix up within the fields."

Lily pouted and said, "Baba, you big meanie."

Leo chuckled and just tickled her until she laughed, and then Lily said while panting, "Can we ask uncle Jim when he might finish the base?"

Leo nodded and said, "Give me a minute."

He used his communicator and using the highest privilege, used the company satellite to contact the chief engineer on the Lunar Base Project. The call was answered almost instantly, and Jim's face appeared in the hologram and he spoke with a smile, "Hello Boss."

Leo smiled back and said, "Hello Jim. How is it going up there? Any troubles?"

Jim shook his head and replied, "Things are fine and we are ahead of schedule, thanks a lot of physics that is defied by this celestial giant."

Leo nodded and asked, "What are the structures that have been completed already?"

Jim replied after a quick recall, "We have finished the gravity plates, the flooring has been done, and the outer shell of the base dome is seventy five percent done. After this, the oxygen reclaimers and inner dome will begin. Followed by the electrical wiring and plumbing."

Leo nodded and replied, "That is good, in a few days, you will receive another good news. Anyhow, the team, is everyone okay?"

Jim felt warm in his heart and nodded. Then Leo felt a tug on his hand and said, "Here, Lily has some questions, can you answer her?"
