It was a strange feeling, as if consciousness had been pulled into the void by the tentacles, floating in the infinite universe.

Spiritual connection?

Jiang Chen didn't know why this word appeared in his mind, but if he thought about it carefully, it was quite appropriate to use this word to describe everything he had witnessed now.

Gradually, the universe lit up.

Everything around is dyed with color, and the void is filled with entities. It doesn't feel like virtual reality, but it's similar.

Yes, it's like watching a holographic movie!

Suddenly, from behind the clouds, Jiang Chen glimpsed a spectacular picture.

It was a vertical tall building, or rather a cuboid. It is rooted in the earth and pierces through the clouds. People are busy below, surrounded by hovering cars, operating all sorts of equipment to add to the tall building.

【Brahma】

The twelve Chinese languages written in white lacquer speak the same word.

It's like an inscription.

Named after the god of creation in ancient Indian mythology, the interstellar colony ship, which belongs to the same PAC as the Zheng He, was launched from the launch center on Sri Leggorda Island. (Zheng He was launched from the Jiuquan Launch Center, the flight that Lin Ling missed, mentioned in Chapter 102.)

It's like watching a cut of a game cutscene, and the fixtures that bind the building slowly crack. Jiang Chen watched this "skyscraper" ignite, watched it rise into the air, watched it pass through the atmosphere, and watched it move away from the blue planet.

Far from this solar system.

For example, Noah's Ark in the Book of Genesis, inscribed on the top of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, carries one-sixth of humanity's hope. It's just that it's not heading for a monstrous flood. Rather, it sails to the boundless sea of stars.

With repentance for their past hatred and blessings for those left on the ground, the passengers waved goodbye to the planet.

It has a maximum speed of 1/10th of the speed of light and can carry 27,000 passengers. Most of the passengers are elites in various fields. and the builders of colonial ships.

According to the plan, the Burning Sky will join forces with two other colony ships in Pluto's synchronous orbit and sail together to a wormhole outside the solar system that is 6,400 astronomical units away from the Sun.

Although humans have never set foot in this place, the theories of the 22nd century have proved that there is a singularity in the universe and that all physical quantities will be distorted here. As long as you cross this place, you can cross the distance of hundreds, even tens of thousands of light years.

And behind that black hole. It is the new home of human civilization!

Before driving into the wormhole, everyone lies in a dormant chamber. Of course, while imagining the future. They were also prepared for the worst.

Fortunately, the gods they worshipped did not abandon them, and they left the wormhole safely.

The first year passed, and the survivors of Number 01 were first released from hibernation. Awakens from the dormant chamber. When he was pleasantly surprised to find out that he was still alive. He almost cheered out with excitement as the colony ship was drifting through the endless universe in automatic cruise mode.

As agreed, he entered the cockpit, proved his health status to the system, and then released the rest of the passengers from sleep.

They held a warm celebration, cheering the rebirth of humanity in this icy galaxy.

Astronomers compared star maps and confirmed that the colony was still in the Milky Way, but 20.5 light-years away, in the constellation Sagittarius. Glise 581g in the vicinity of the planet.

The 581g planet is located in the "habitable zone" of the red dwarf Gliese 581, 0.15 AU away from the star.

The planet has similarities with Mercury in the solar system. Always keep one side facing the star, so that one side of the planet is permanently under light and the other side is permanently in the dark, i.e. tidal locked.

Although it is difficult to imagine, it is precisely because of this special form that the climate of the planet is stabilized.

In addition to this, it is also known that the planet orbits around for 37 days, has a thick enough atmosphere, and has water sources on the surface. The planet is 1.3 times the diameter of the Earth, so the gravity is similar to that of the Earth.

A habitable terrestrial planet!

Happiness came so suddenly that the crew cheered as Christopher Columbus had discovered the New World.

The only regret is that they have lost contact with the other two colony ships, and this joy is destined to be shared with others.

The colony ship immediately ended its automatic cruise, changed course, and headed towards planet 581g.

Along the way, the crew makes various preparations for colonizing the New World. This includes checking the functioning of the colonization module, including voting on who should be the first to set foot in the New World and go down in history.

However, just when everyone is busy with a new life, the physicists on the colony ship make another surprising discovery.

The cesium atomic clock they were carrying had a retrospective phenomenon.

This kind of backtracking is simply inexplicable in physics, as if everyone knows that atoms decay, but no one believes that decayed atoms can return to their pre-decay conditions under natural conditions.

There is only one explanation, that when traversing the wormhole, they not only pass through distorted space, but also through distorted time.

In short, they go back in time.

According to quantum computer calculations, the cesium atomic clock now shows the time of 120 BC.

This year is the third year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the 634th year of the founding of Rome. In this year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent envoys to Alexandria, and the Pantheon was built in ancient Greece.

If the colony ship suddenly returns to Earth now, it is as if the Earth is in the Age of Savage.

It's a wonderful feeling, as if your parents weren't born yet, but you were born into the world.

Physicists have come up with a number of different explanations for this phenomenon.

It has been suggested that if the theory of many worlds is true, they would have arrived at a world that is very different from the previous world. And that earth is also a very different earth from the present world.

This theory has been accepted by all to a certain extent.

Because living in the 22nd century, they really can't believe that people who exist in three dimensions can move vertically on a four-dimensional scale, which will induce the paradox of time. The only explanation for this phenomenon is probably that they jumped to a parallel world, and the previous world has nothing to do with them.

The feeling is subtle.

It's like the moment when the baby leaves its mother and the umbilical cord is cut.

It is not only the distance that is cut off by the universe, but also the spiritual sustenance.

For three seconds, everyone fell silent.

Some people tentatively proposed that if they changed course and returned to Earth, they would be able to conquer the planet that was still in the Bronze Age with the powerful combat power of the colonial ships. Even if there is a distance of 20.5 light-years, it will only take 400 to 500 years to reach the Earth at the maximum speed of one-tenth of the speed of light. The "worst" scenario, that is, the colonial ship meets the Hun cavalry.

But the proposal was soon rejected.

No one can be sure that in this parallel world, the history of Earth civilization must have proceeded according to the trajectory of their original world. Maybe writing was invented a thousand years ago, maybe Columbus was born 500 years ago, maybe the first industrial revolution was 200 years earlier, maybe none of this happened.

Compared to the 400,000-year evolutionary history of the entire human race, it only takes a small change to produce earth-shaking changes. The only thing they know for sure is that the world is definitely different from the world they once were.

Maybe when they return to the earth of this world, they will face a civilization more advanced than them, and maybe who will be beaten as natives at that time.

It's strange to imagine that when 20.5 light-years away from Earth, the thoughts that come to everyone's mind revolve around a central word.

War.

Out of fear of the unknown, everyone settled down and put their minds back on the colonization of the current 581g planet.

At the same time, two ideas unconsciously took shape in everyone's minds, and eventually influenced the trajectory of this nascent civilization.

"The earth is not home. ”

"Humans are not human. (To be continued.) )
