Large numbers of native scientists from Earth, after embracing the Machine God, were granted the chance to study on Mars.

For scientists of this era, fortune was on their side.

Mars had gathered cutting-edge technologies far beyond the imagination of the age. To humans devoted to research, it was nothing less than holy ground.

Quite a few human scientists traveled to Mars under the pretext of academic exchanges and further study.

Afterward, most of them chose to remain on Mars, staying in this fertile land far better suited to scientific research.

The trend later grew increasingly intense, to the point that the United Earth Government lodged a stern protest and demanded the return of its scientists.

Yet when the scientists who had completed their studies on Mars reluctantly returned, they solemnly protested to the government's higher-ups, declaring that they now possessed new identities.
