Location: The International Company for Pyramid Energy Management and Extraction
Time: 9:00 AM
Place: Temporary Headquarters – Conference Room
Inside the vast conference room, representatives from different nations gathered around a massive round table. Their expressions reflected mixed emotions; some appeared tense, while others maintained a composed demeanor. Evaluative glances were exchanged, and though they were all here for a common goal, their hidden agendas were evident in their eyes.
Mustafa, the Egyptian CEO of the company, calmly scanned the attendees before speaking in a firm voice:
"So, does anyone have a clear plan for extracting this energy?"
Dr. Liang, a renowned Chinese energy scientist accompanied by a team of engineers and experts, raised his hand and confidently said:
"First, we need to build specialized energy stations to purify and manage the energy, then distribute it globally through a secure network."
Mustafa nodded and responded:
"A good idea, but the core issue lies in how to connect the pyramid to these stations and extract the energy buried deep underground. Does anyone have other suggestions?"
A European businessman, who looked more like a corporate executive than a scientist, spoke in a neutral tone:
"Before anything else, we must consider the cost. We can't proceed without finding a way to reduce expenses and ensure economic feasibility."
He then turned to the representatives of the Arab states and China with a smile before casting a meaningful glance at the Russian delegate, saying nothing further.
Mustafa observed this interaction silently, then shifted his gaze toward the Russian and American representatives, who had yet to participate in the discussion but seemed to be studying the situation carefully.
Mustafa took a deep breath before speaking in a confident tone:
"What if we use the same technology our ancient Egyptian ancestors employed?"
Dr. Liang raised an eyebrow and asked inquisitively:
"You mean…?"
Mustafa smiled and continued:
"Yes. We will reconstruct the golden capstone of the pyramid and use Nikola Tesla's principle of wireless energy transmission. His research over a century ago proved that energy can be transmitted wirelessly through electromagnetic fields. We will erect towers similar to ancient Egyptian obelisks to distribute the energy worldwide, directly linked to the power stations."
Silence filled the room for a moment before Zack, the American representative, commented:
"An intriguing idea, but it comes with serious challenges."
Mustafa looked at him, waiting for him to elaborate. Zack continued:
"First, how do we ensure the energy moves upwards? Second, how do we regulate consumption so that it isn't drained too quickly? And third…"
He paused momentarily, glancing sideways at the Arab representative before shifting his gaze toward the Russian delegate. Then, in a suggestive tone, he added:
"This project might threaten the interests of nations dependent on oil and gas exports."
A heavy silence hung over the room for a moment before Mustafa smirked slightly and responded in a reassuring yet unwavering tone, his eyes fixed on Zack:
"No need to worry, Mr. Zack. I understand your concerns well, and I will address them one by one."
"First, regarding energy direction, we will create a slight vibration in the golden capstone, allowing electricity to surge upward naturally, just as our ancestors did."
"Second, to prevent excessive consumption, we will implement the project in gradual phases, allowing us to monitor and regulate the extracted energy as needed."
"And finally, as for economic concerns, by implementing this project over a reasonable timeframe, there will be ample opportunity for oil- and gas-dependent nations to gradually restructure their economies. There won't be a sudden shock."
Zack eyed Mustafa sharply, but the latter's smile remained unchanged. Zack realized his attempt to incite conflict had failed, though he wasn't surprised.
At last, the Russian representative spoke:
"Since Egypt seems to have planned everything in advance, when do you expect to complete the project?"
Mustafa replied in a serious tone:
"No more than two years, possibly less."
The Russian raised an eyebrow in surprise:
"That's quite fast. How will you accomplish that?"
Mustafa smiled and said:
"Simple. We will divide the project into multiple phases, with each participating nation handling a specific aspect of implementation."
He then turned to the Chinese representative and said:
"China will undertake the construction of stations and obelisks, synchronized with the Silk Road, isn't that right, Dr. Liang?"
Dr. Liang nodded in agreement, then cast a quick, triumphant glance at the American representative.
However, the American representative didn't understand, as he was preoccupied with something else.
Noticing this, Mustafa turned toward him but chose to remain silent, continuing his conversation with the Arab states' representative instead:
"You and Mr. Saeed will be in charge of constructing the golden capstone."
"Egypt will oversee management, supervise the workforce, and ensure any technical or logistical issues are resolved.?"
"The United States and Europe will provide the necessary technology to execute the project efficiently."
"Since all sectors will work in parallel, the process won't take long."
As each person understood what needed to be done and numerous questions were discussed, time passed quickly - until suddenly:
The call to Dhuhr prayer (the daily Islamic prayer call) rose in the air. Mustafa and the Arab representatives immediately stopped and announced a brief break for prayers."
As the Egyptians and Arabs left the room, the remaining representatives stayed seated, watching each other in silence.
One of them cast a glance at the surveillance camera mounted in the corner, fully aware they were being monitored.
Each representative rose one by one, heading off to report the latest developments to their respective nations.
"As for Michael, the European businessman who had spoken earlier, he remained in his seat, deep in thought. The project was massive—and if successfully implemented, it would completely transform the future of energy."
He imagined phones and electric cars charging wirelessly, a world freed from fossil fuel dependence. However, he also knew that if this project succeeded, Egypt and the Arab world would grow stronger, shifting the global balance of power.
He exhaled slowly and reflected:
"Clearly, everyone here has shared interests,However, there are still critical points that haven't been discussed yet..."
Then, he recalled the current global situation… Resources were depleting, the climate was worsening, and international tensions were escalating.
If this discovery had emerged just five years earlier, the major powers would have fought tooth and nail to suppress it—assassinations, threats, and secret operations to bury it.
"All these crises… and then this discovery appears as a miraculous solution? It's as if the conditions were orchestrated to ensure its success."
"This is highly suspicious…"
At that moment, Mustafa and the Arab representatives returned to the conference room, their presence drawing the eyes of the attendees, who eagerly awaited the next developments.
