The simulation of the Romanian character Bulă’s life.

Bulă has been a fictional hero of this time, coloring my ancestors life during harsh times just by being present in a lot of jokes that colored the landscape of those years. Words passed by through generations, books have been written, bellies have hurt as a side effect of intense, heart originating laughter.
  I must thank the Romanian historians for bringing together the puzzle pieces of those times. Thanks to that it is possible nowadays to successfully simulate the history of those days starting from the end of the sixties while producing a relatively accurate reality until the beginning of the 21’st century.
  Of course, although the computing power is still growing exponentially across the solar system, it is and never be “so cheap that no one is going to bother measuring it”, as they said at the beginning of the quantum computing age centuries ago. So, in order to buy computing power to run all simulations for the 20 redundant Bulă characters born starting in the 60’s, I will have to further ask for your help. The original funding helped me to create the environment for these characters to be born in. Now it is up to my supporters to help me fund the simulations of every one of the 20 characters. At my current estimate, based on our  financial resources, we can simulate the first Bulă at about the pace of one to one. That means that every current year we will be able to simulate about one year of its life.
  The first Bulă was born in the autumn of 1960 in the city of Bucharest. His parents have migrated to Bucharest from a rural area in Moldova, working in factories hard to earn their modest apartment in a random chosen location. Although they are not educated, they do have plans for Bulă to be the first person in their family line to earn a university degree.
We simulate Bulă to be of average intelligence, and set the randomness variable of his reasoning to be high. It will lead to highly variable outcomes, as he would have great imagination but also high likelihood for getting into unique situations. He might come to unexpected results in his career but also put himself in epic and comic situations. Of course, with your help, we will place unique opportunities in his life, leading him to epic adventures. He will  surely get to leave an imprint in this world created for him. But will the stories live up to the history sneaking up to us from centuries ago? Will they match the epic jokes told during those years? Or maybe, just maybe, even surpass them? They used to say that life beats movies in those days, I have read. But whose life are we talking about here?  The life of the people living in that era or the life of our character in the simulation? I guess it is left for you to decide.
In that autumn afternoon, a leaf has fallen on the sill of the window of the waiting room at the Filantropia hospital in Bucharest. An ant is now crawling over it, analyzing its texture and smell. It is just one of the many leaves seen by this ant and the only one it is remembering. After heading off the leave and of the sill the leave will be forgotten and no one will remember its existence.
  However, inside, a loud baby scream is heard. This one will be remembered and might just make history. Or at least some good stories.

Nu prea mi-a plăcut... E un fel de poveste serioasă despre o chestie neserioasă.
Și de unde ipoteza că ar fi de origine din Moldova? Unii ziceau că ar fi oltean, alții că ar fi ardelean.
Simplu, nu seamănă cu Bulă pe care l-am cunoscut eu.

Așa că prefer să rămân în bula mea, nu vreau să las nici un feedback. Hai, Pa!

Plictiseală mare, mon cher!

Eroare!
Scuze!

dacă era din moldova îl chema MULĂ,dacă era din cluj îl chema CULĂ iar dacă era din ploiești îl chema....

deci este bucureștean

sau din băicoi

The Celestial Engineers – Part 1


Year 2245, en route to the Proxima Centauri star system
In the mid-22nd century, humanity had achieved its most ambitious dream – the establishment of a stable, faster-than-light (FTL) communication network between our solar system and our nearest stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri. Dubbed the “Intergalactic Whisper,” this advanced telecom system relied on a network of nodes scattered across the void, utilizing packets of encapsulated metamatter cells that travel at about 100 times the speed of light to enable near-instantaneous information exchange across the vast distances of space.
The spacecraft, known as the Eos Excursion, is an avant-garde vessel powered by the revolutionary antimatter propulsion system. Sleek and efficient, the Eos Excursion glides through the interstellar void, leaving a faint trail of gamma radiation in its wake. Its streamlined design and the soft hum of its engines create an atmosphere of serenity, making it an ideal vessel for the long journey between star systems. Inside, its living quarters are built to accommodate a small crew of engineers for months at a time, providing all necessary amenities for their well-being.
The story follows two skilled space engineers, Isla and Tao, who have been assigned to a critical maintenance mission. As the backbone of the FTL communication network, the nodes that comprise the Intergalactic Whisper require regular inspection, repair, and upgrades to ensure their continued function and efficiency. The engineers must ensure that the connection between the two star systems remains stable, enabling humanity to coordinate its deep-space endeavors and maintain contact with the burgeoning colonies in the Proxima Centauri system.
Isla, a veteran engineer and communications expert, is well-versed in the intricacies of the metamatter-based FTL network. Her calm and composed demeanor perfectly complements her razor-sharp intellect, making her an invaluable asset to the mission. Tao, an inventive and resourceful propulsion specialist, is no stranger to the challenges of interstellar travel. His keen understanding of the antimatter engines and his quick wit make him an excellent partner to Isla on this crucial assignment.
Together, Isla and Tao navigate the vast expanse of space, expertly tending to the Intergalactic Whisper’s nodes, while grappling with the isolation of their journey. They forge a strong bond through their shared experiences, exploring the profound depths of human connection and the true meaning of their vital mission. As they journey through the cosmos, their small, nimble ship a testament to human ingenuity, the two engineers come to appreciate the beauty and vastness of the universe and the importance of maintaining the fragile link between distant star systems.
As the Eos Excursion glided through the vastness of space, Isla and Tao received an urgent distress call from Mission Control. One of the critical nodes of the Intergalactic Whisper, stationed a year’s travel away from Proxima Centauri, had been severely damaged by an overwhelming asteroid cloud. The node was in desperate need of repair, as its damaged state threatened the stability of the entire FTL communication network.
With the fate of the Intergalactic Whisper hanging in the balance, Isla and Tao quickly altered their course towards the damaged node. As they embarked on this urgent mission, they couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of unease. The asteroid cloud had appeared suddenly and unexpectedly, raising questions about its origin and the potential danger it posed to the network and other interstellar travelers.
As the Eos Excursion approached the damaged node, the ship’s external sensors revealed the extent of the destruction. The once-pristine node was now a mangled wreck, its delicate metamatter cells crushed under the relentless onslaught of the asteroid cloud. Isla and Tao, both seasoned engineers, had never seen anything like it.
The two engineers donned their spacesuits and prepared to venture out into the void, embarking on a treacherous spacewalk to assess the damage up close. As they carefully navigated the debris field surrounding the node, they couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this disaster than met the eye.
As they began the arduous task of repairing the node, Isla and Tao discovered unusual markings on the asteroid fragments – markings that hinted at an artificial origin. The troubling realization dawned on them: the asteroid cloud may not have been a natural occurrence, but rather the result of an unknown, hostile force seeking to disrupt the fragile connection between the two star systems.
The stakes of their mission had suddenly escalated. Not only did they have to repair the damaged node, but they needed to uncover the truth behind the mysterious asteroid cloud and warn humanity of the potential threat that loomed in the depths of space.
With the future of the Intergalactic Whisper and interstellar communication at stake, Isla and Tao embarked on a thrilling adventure filled with danger, intrigue, and the unraveling of a cosmic mystery that would forever change their understanding of the universe and humanity’s place in it.

Cred că al nostru coleg a ratat un pic esența . Într-adevăr, eu în povestire nu am făcut clar că acesta este unul din mai mulți bulă "născuți" în simularea respectivă, alții ar putea fi din orice oraș aleatoriu, așadar are o scuză. Acest feedback îmi este de ajutor pentru a îmi scrie mai bine povestirile.
