Thus, they immediately implement the Method of Mind-Strengthening. In order to fight Sierra Pathogen whose transmission characteristics are evidently more terrible than any other pathogens, Saturn Health Department carries out the implementation in a very serious manner. Numerous manpower is deployed to the operations, and the funds they are disbursing are incredibly numerous. Whatever Stairmount asks for, no matter how difficult it is, the government will immediately fulfill it - with more quantity than expected.
"The funds and facilities they have are so amazing." Stairmount is awestruck as he finds both the natural resources and human resources which are deployed by Saturn government. "No wonder they become the richest country in the world."
"And it instead provokes that stupid envy and malice," Gasoline chimes in. "Because people who are used to being on top don't like having their position taken away from them. They've lost on all fronts, so racial discrimination is the only weapon left."
"If we want to be open, as Jupiter nation we also have many advantages. We are open minded, sociable, being able to get along with new people easily, and have a high work ethic. That should be what we hone, we focus on ourselves. And we shouldn't being jealous of people's successes, even launching false attacks on our own countrymen and women," Stairmount gives his opinion.
However, in the Method of Mind-Strengthening they are implementing, no use of psychotropic drugs can be found. Because Stairmount has quickly prohibited them to use those drugs.
"Psychotropic drugs and the sorts only produce fake happiness. They only give temporary lies. Meanwhile, the positivity we want to achieve is the real and sustainable one. After all, psychotropics will only weaken the brain, and even let Sierra Pathogen more vicious at harm the bodies."
In short, this method is emphasizing the psychological sector. Such as counseling, behavioral therapy, or some holistic medicine, and even natural healing methods, such as aromatherapy, music therapy, refreshing therapy, and so on. First, they list the types of psychological therapy suitable for each person. The data they input are the hobbies, the hopes, as well as the difficulties they are facing with, things that make them anxious or depressed, and so on. Then, they will look for the type of therapy which is most suitable for them.
That is the theory. But this is very difficult to be implemented in reality. Saturn people have been informed that they are facing an outbreak caused by a new pathogen, as well as any kind of eeriness which may occur, but the government has followed Stairmount's advice - they ensure the people that the state has the capacity to deal with all of this problem. But in the end, the people still choose to follow their fear.

They even show negative behaviors frankly; complaining without intention to carry out the solutions given to them, refusing to follow the officer's advice and still following their false ways, even the worst - arguing with the officers, and further getting mad at them. The implementation of Mind-Strengthening thus becomes obstructed, even more terrible, it has the potential to be failed.
"Some people even spread hoaxes stating that the government is doing the wrong thing. They then make an impression that they are smarter than the government by giving meticulous-but-totally-useless fake news, and surprisingly, the people even believe in the hoax," Marine grumbles in disgust.
Stairmount lets out a harsh breath inside his mind. He soon understands the reason why the Minister of Health intended to conceal this news at the beginning. He talks to himself, "Saturn society seems to believe more in the negative."
