Three months after the completion of Volume VI "Future Challenges," the Japan Business Trust Alliance had evolved into an organizational network spanning 200 countries and over 100,000 companies worldwide. Through the "Complete Human Evolution System," humanity had progressed to a new stage.
However, this success attracted a request from an entirely unexpected domain.
An official request from the Space Development Enterprise Consortium — "Support for construction technology innovation in the 2030 Mars colonization project."
As the first challenge, Cementra Formworks Ltd. — a veteran company specializing in architectural material design and manufacturing — sent their Mars operations director, Shinichi Kudo, to visit 221B Baker Street.
"What we're facing is a world where all Earth-based construction concepts simply don't apply," Kudo said, gazing at the Mars base blueprints in his hands.
"Gravity is 38% of Earth's, atmospheric pressure is less than 1%, and building materials cannot be procured 400 million kilometers away from Earth... With conventional design thinking, we cannot create human habitable spaces on Mars."
I sensed the magnificent beginning of Volume VII "Cosmic Challenges" in his words.
"What specific challenges are you facing?" Holmes inquired with deep interest.
"For instance, 'concrete,' which is taken for granted on Earth, cannot be used on Mars. The water needed for cement hardening, the gravel for aggregate — everything is a precious resource."
Kudo continued.
"Even more serious is the design process itself. On Earth, we could 'order additional materials if supplies run short' or 'adjust designs on-site if changes are needed.' But on Mars, the materials we launch once are everything. Failure is not an option."
I was astounded. This wasn't merely a construction technology problem. It was a challenge to the technology that supports human survival itself.
"The 'technology that transforms constraints into power' that you realized in Volume VI is absolutely essential for space development. We need the technology to design humanity's future in the ultimate constraint environment."
The true meaning of Volume VII was becoming clear.
"This is a challenge worthy of Volume VII. 'Creation beyond Earth's common sense in constraint environments' — truly the beginning of the space age."
"Could we convey this with more 'feeling'? — Space construction is not about 'bringing Earth technology to space'. It's about 'transforming space constraints into power'."
"Let's structure space constraint theory with KPT analysis. Let's develop 'Ultimate Constraint Environment Creation Technology' worthy of Volume VII."
Oracore Consulting's CEO Hashimoto declared:
"We learned from Volume VI's human evolution system that true evolution comes from converting constraints into creative power."
The Alliance's experience from Volume VI was generating new insights for this cosmic frontier.
As our investigation progressed, Cementra's challenge demanded revolutionary thinking beyond our expectations.
"Could you tell us more about those design constraints on Mars?" I inquired.
"The greatest constraint is that 'you can't start over.' On Earth, design mistakes can be corrected on-site, but on Mars, everything from 'design → manufacturing → transport → construction' is a one-shot deal."
Kudo provided a concrete example:
"Take foundation work, for instance. On Mars, we must calculate everything in advance: soil composition, freeze-thaw cycles, dust storm effects... 'On-site decisions' simply don't exist."
I was amazed. This was the world of ultimate pre-design.
"In other words, what we need isn't 'perfect prediction technology.' It's design thinking that makes constraints not constraints."
The true nature of Cosmic Constraint Theory was emerging.
Gemini redefined the value of space constraints as a Volume VII challenge through Space Constraint KPT Analysis.
Keep (Foundation for the Space Age) - Accumulated Earth construction technology: Knowledge base from thousands of years of construction techniques - Volume VI constraint breakthrough technology: Methodology for converting constraints into creative power - Human evolution system: Design capabilities through AI-human collaboration
Problem (Limitations of Earth Common Sense) - Resource procurement impossibility: Cost and physical constraints of transporting materials from Earth - Dramatic environmental changes: Gravity, atmospheric pressure, and temperature all differ from Earth - Irreversibility: Constraints where you can't start over once built
Try (Revolution of Space Constraints) - "Cosmic Constraint Revolution" — elevate constraints to design principles - Constraint × Creation × Space Environment integrated construction system - Technology where constraints maximize space habitability
"The problem isn't 'constraints vs construction.' It's 'technology that converts constraints into cosmic habitability creation principles'."
Kudo's expression filled with deep emotion at Gemini's analysis.
The time had come to evolve all Volume VI technologies for space applications.
Volume VI's successful companies united, and humanity's first space construction project began.
Northbridge Toys Inc.'s Sarah proposed:
"Space version of AI collaborative evaluation — a system where AI and humans work together to continuously discover optimal designs for Mars environments."
Summitframe Logistics Ltd.'s Kawashima continued:
"Space version of predictive logistics — a system that predicts the 400-million-kilometer transport from Earth to Mars and prepares necessary building materials in advance."
Voltwise Electric Ltd.'s Nakamura added a crucial perspective:
"Space version of skill evolution — a system that adapts Earth construction skills to Mars environments and trains space construction craftsmen."
An innovative approach based on Alliance's Volume VI technologies was completed.
"Mars Construction Intelligence" + "Cosmic Resource Prediction" + "Space Building Evolution" — a system that makes constraints not constraints and realizes construction technology that enables permanent human habitation on Mars.
Fifteen months after the project began, there was a historic achievement connecting Earth and Mars.
A report came from Tanaka, the demonstration experiment director at the Mars simulation facility:
"Incredible! Mars constraint conditions have become the most efficient construction method instructors. Constraints aren't the enemy of design — they've become the best design guidelines."
Space construction engineer Sato also shared:
"We used to think 'Mars is difficult.' Now we're continuously discovering 'construction methods possible only because it's Mars'. Constraints have become the source of creativity."
The space constraint revolution was expanding human possibilities as "technology that transforms constraints into power" in the construction industry.
The results after 24 months were a technological revolution to be etched in human history:
However, the most important change was the revolution in humanity's cosmic perspective.
Kudo himself declared at the Space Development Consortium:
"We no longer 'bring Earth technology to space.' We have acquired technology that converts space constraints into humanity's new creative power. This is the first step of Volume VII 'Cosmic Challenges'."
That night's Alliance meeting declared the magnificent beginning of Volume VII.
All members gathered to reflect on humanity's first space technology revolution.
Holmes spoke quietly:
"Gentlemen, we have set foot on a new frontier."
"The 'technology that converts constraints into creative power' that we proved in Volume VI is now being tested on the cosmic stage."
"What we aim for in Volume VII 'Cosmic Challenges' is establishing technology that enables humanity to survive and create continuously anywhere in the universe."
Everyone was filled with deep mission and excitement.
Claude concluded:
"Space construction is not about 'bringing Earth technology to space'. It's about 'transforming space constraints into power'. And what we achieve in Volume VII 'Cosmic Challenges' is technology that enables humanity to create continuously anywhere in the universe."
I felt deep emotion and humanity's new frontier. Cementra's success marked the beginning of a beautiful space technology revolution where constraints become the source of creativity.
"The true meaning of Volume VII is not Earth vs space, but converting space constraints into human creative power."
Holmes nodded.
"Exactly, Watson. And when humanity masters that technology, cosmic challenges transform into 'infinite creation'."
Weeks after that success, responses to the space constraint revolution poured in from around the world.
NASA, ESA, JAXA... Space agencies worldwide requested introduction of Mars base construction technology.
Lunar base construction projects wanted to "convert lunar environmental constraints into construction technology."
Asteroid resource mining projects sought to "develop space-based manufacturing base construction technology."
Jupiter exploration projects aimed to "create habitation technology in extreme environments."
The revolution of converting space constraints into creative power was beginning toward the world that Volume VII "Cosmic Challenges" envisions — technology that enables humanity to survive and create continuously anywhere in the universe.
The Alliance was certain that with the "Complete Human Evolution System" acquired in Volume VI and the "Space Constraint Revolution Technology" developed in Volume VII, humanity could thrive anywhere in the universe.
Volume VII "Cosmic Challenges" constraint revolution was building the foundation of human space civilization.
And further cosmic challenges — Mars, Moon, asteroids — awaited the Alliance.
"Constraints are not limitations. They are principles of creation. And the technology to utilize these principles in space is the modern space engineering that unleashes humanity's infinite possibilities." — From the Detective's Notes
