2019, East Expansion


"East from here, not too distant, there's standing a city. It takes only a few hours of travel to get there. Once you arrive there, you'll be greeted by the cool air that will hug you better than the air in the city you departed do, due to highland climate and mountains that surround the city. The rainy days and nights are always true cold and never hot. Youths, couples, and families are enjoying their day in one of dozens beautiful parks and plazas that spread across the city. Or strolling down the streets and boulevards which have wide sidewalks, decorated with flowers and large, shady trees. Along the streets, stands a lot of tasteful eateries, well-known cafes, luxurious boutiques, and splendid trade centers. Sightseers and street vendors crowd the sidewalks, the vehicles crowd the avenues, especially when tourists flood the city during their days off. However, the city is known for, not only the center of popular culture and tourism, but also a hub for science and technology. Every year thousands of scholars from all over the place come to this city for studying and researching. Beach and many skyscraper are not in sight, however heritage buildings, green gardens, and sparkling nightlife, create a romantic-scenic view of this magnificent city. As an artist once said, 'And this city, for me, is not a matter of geography alone, furthermore it involves the feeling, that's with me when it is quiet.'"
— An expeditor from Age of Discovery

There is one way, and just one way, to capture this city: the Battle of Universalis.



After a year-long Crisis, a forgotten hope emerged. A hope to have a brighter future. A hope to develop our passions. A hope to fulfill our true purpose in this world. We were about to face the gate for this long-forgotten dream comes true. Through Battle of Universalis, the dream which once a wish, was turned into a hope. With this country-scale war, our dream city would become ours. However, we must prove ourselves in this battle first.

The battle broke out, not asking whether we are ready. All resources were exerted, hoping the Crisis tragedy would not be repeated, though it might not as smooth as it was propagated. A strategy had to be chosen, so that our winning in this battle coincides with our hope becoming real. Testing and extra training in early morning were held. Parallel Order and Tables of Attack were watched every day. Our Reports were verified several times, so no mistake was made. To meet the demands of war, a conference was held. Since the tension was so high, the committee set up a negotiation for disputed states.

And the day we were waiting for, came. A series of list announced miraculously our victory in this Battle of Universalis. However, not all people were glad on that day. Many of them had to make greater, harder, and longer efforts to meet their victory. There was some time before we could occupy the land we annexed. In the meantime, we improved our conditions, such as making memorandum images and releasing new media, also prepared for new life we would encounter, though it might not as smooth as it was planned.


Today was the day we began a new life. Facing a brave new world. With new atmosphere. New city. New people. New adventure. Orientation and Recognition a couple of weeks after our arrival, gave new insights of this land we had conquered. Resources are abundant here. It's not the natural resources. It is their knowledge, technology, political, and human resources. The resources to develop our nation. The resources to fuel our passion. The resources are so vast that we made Course Great-line, with long-term plan, so that we're not wasting them.

Meanwhile, the Pillars were resurrected, after long buried under every battles and crisis. Journalism, humanities, philosophy, and urban planning were summoned by the environment and resources of this new land. Even science and physics were awakened during this time.

Behind its delight and enjoyment, the old era has come to an end. While it is difficult to leave it, a new era of glory and prosperity, arise. With resources in our hand and the Pillars erected, we're ready for an era with passion and progress as its foundations. Welcoming, the Industrial Era!

Bintang Neutron di Nidavellir (Avengers: Infinity War)

Arsip Instagram 19 Mei 2018 Sumber marvel-cinematic-universe-guide.fandom.com Sudah nonton Avengers: Infinity War? Masih ingat adegan di atas? Ya itu adalah adegan ketika Thor mendapat Stormbreaker, palu barunya, di Nidavellir. Nidavellir sendiri merupakan sebuah kota yg penduduknya bekerja sebagai pandai besi. Penduduknya disebut Kurcaci (Dwarf). Ada satu hal yg menarik mengenai Nidavellir, yaitu sumber energi untuk melelehkan besi-besi tersebut: sebuah bintang neutron. Bintang neutron (atau neutron star) sendiri adalah jasad bintang yg mati melalui proses supernova. Ketika bintang kehabisan bahan bakar, pembangkit energi (fusi nuklir) dalam bintang berhenti. Saat tidak ada lagi energi yg menahan bintang, gravitasi menguasai dan meruntuhkan bintang. Saking besarnya gravitasi, elektron dan proton pd bintang bersatu dan membentuk neutron. Sebab itu disebut bintang neutron. Pd keadaan ini, gravitasi ditahan oleh 'tekanan neutron terdegenerasi'. Namun bukan berarti fus...

Jalan-jalan di Bandung

Arsip Instagram 25-28 Desember 2017 Trotoar Trotoar bukan cuman tempat buat jalan, tapi bisa jadi tempat nongkrong yang asik!! Banyak yang mengira bahwa trotoar itu cuman buat tempat jalan pedestrian (= pejalan kaki). Titik. Gak lebih. Tidak boleh ada apapun di atas trotoar, baik kendaraan, dagangan, bahkan pohon pun tidak boleh. Nah itulah yang membuat orang malas berjalan kaki. Daripada jalan kaki capek, bosen mendingan naik motor trus langsung gas. Padahal jika trotoar ditata dengan rapih, ternyata asik loh jalan di trotoar! Hal inilah yang saya rasakan di Bandung. Trotoarnya lebar-lebar, sekitar 4 meter. Walaupun begitu, kita harus berbagi dengan pohon-pohon. Tapi it's okelah, toh trotoarnya lebar. Lagipula pohon di sini telah ditata menjadi sejajar (segaris) dengan pohon lainnya, jadi kita gak perlu geser kanan kiri ketika berjalan. Pohon juga merindangkan dan menyejukkan udara. Foto di atas juga mematahkan asumsi bahwa trotoar hanya untuk berjalan saja. Di Kota...

Hakikat Pemilu dan Wakil Rakyat

Arsip Instagram 15 April 2019 Sumber aktual.com Selain presiden, lusa nanti kita juga akan melihat kertas ini dan memilih anggota legislatif yg sama pentingnya dgn presiden. Legislatif, atau parlemen, merupakan bentuk penerapan demokrasi yg dianut Indonesia. Sbg negara demokrasi dan republik, rakyat memegang kekuasaan tertinggi di Indonesia. Tapi kenapa kita sbg rakyat tidak merasa sebagai pemimpin? Ternyata kepemimpinan kita 'diwakili' oleh sebagian kecil rakyat yg kita sebut sebagai anggota legislatif. Karena itu mereka terkenal dgn sebutan 'wakil rakyat'. Hubungan antara rakyat dan wakil rakyat tidak seperti ketua dan wakilnya. Berikut ilustrasinya. Sebuah lembaga akan membuat seminar dgn mengundang sekolah2. Karena keterbatasan tempat, tidak semua siswa dapat ikut seminar tsb. Dipilihlah 20 org yg akan mewakili sekolah tsb. Diharapkan dgn ikutnya 20 org ini, seolah-olah seluruh siswa telah ikut seminar. 20 org ini akan menyampaikan isi seminar kepada teman2nya...
