Prologue: Set sail
In 2530 A.D., in the orbit of the moon, a huge spaceship is quietly parked here, this spacecraft is more than 2,000 meters long, its manufacture gathers the power of all mankind, integrates the most advanced technology in the world today, and is the largest outer space creation made by mankind so far.

Since the invention of antimatter as a propulsive engine in 2389, humans have been able to fly at nearly the speed of light, and travel within the solar system is no longer a dream. After that, people used the moon as a sentinel to conquer Mars for the first time, and built the first Martian city by connecting the scattered outposts on Mars. Over the next hundred years, humanity continued to expand outward, collecting resources from Jupiter and Saturn, establishing outposts on Uranus and Neptune, and even successfully landing on Pluto.
Humanity's desire to explore is never-ending, and since the successful landing on Pluto in 2495, how to fly out of the solar system has been put on the agenda by a new generation of scientists. While near-light-speed spacecraft can explore stars up close, closer stars are of little value. As a result, the mission to make the first extrasolar flight was postponed indefinitely.
At this time, some people proposed to use wormholes for long-distance travel, but the generation of wormholes requires a lot of energy, and the largest wormholes that can be made in the laboratory are only a few millimeters in size, and it is completely impossible to pass through a huge spaceship. As a result, the dream of out-of-line flight still could not be realized.

In 2503, people successfully built the first high-power wormhole generator, which made deep space exploration possible, but because the current technology cannot locate the other side of the wormhole, it is likely that the unknown world through the wormhole to the other end is likely to become a trip with no return.
But it was impossible to give up the dream of flying out of the solar system, so the largest spacecraft was built, the Voyager. The spacecraft was inspired by a 500-year-old experiment called Biosphere 2, which is completely self-sufficient. The spacecraft also houses one of the largest antimatter engines and four of the largest fusion engines, as well as a masterpiece of artificial intelligence, the first semi-artificial intelligence computer that comes closest to artificial intelligence.
At this point, the conditions for the out-of-department trip have been met, and people have selected personnel all over the world, although there is a high probability that the trip will not return, but in the end more than 10,000 brave volunteers have been successfully selected, and after two years of training, more than 4,000 crew members have finally been left, which is all the members of the first human extra-departmental exploration.

"Captain, all preparations are complete, waiting for your order." The first mate reports to the captain.
"Guys, you're all set, shipboard main engine, perform the final checks, helmsman, main engine charging. Set a goal - Pluto. The captain gave the order.
"The ship is in self-inspection...... After the self-test is completed, the modules are normal, and the main engine is charging. ”
With a slight vibration, a faint blue light began to emerge from the tail of the Voyager, and various parts of the hull gradually lit up, and the steel behemoth began to grow alive little by little.
"Let's go." With the captain's command, the Voyager's tail flame grew larger and larger, and the ship began to move forward gradually, and then a powerful tail flame erupted from the stern, and the Voyager began to slowly accelerate to a tenth of the speed of light. The hull adjusted its attitude slightly, and then flew towards the first target, Pluto. The reason why we want to go to Pluto first is because opening a large wormhole with current technology will affect the stability of space, and for the sake of safety, the large wormhole generator is installed in the synchronous orbit of Pluto, and naturally, the opening of the wormhole should be carried out in Pluto.
After more than 5 hours of flight, Voyager managed to reach the orbit of Pluto, where it will make its final preparations.
After a few more days of preparation, the Voyager completed the final commissioning before departure. May 17, 2530, is the day of departure, on which more than 4,000 warriors will embark on the farthest journey of mankind to date, for which generations have dedicated their youth, and now, their dedication has finally paid off.
"The wormhole is about to open, all departments are ready, the shipboard main engine, and the final inspection is carried out." The captain commanded.
"The ship is about to undergo the last inspection, the modules are running normally, the energy transmission is normal, the main engine is standby, the auxiliary engine is charged normally, and everything is normal on the ship." The shipboard host replied.
"Voyager, this is the Pluto Observatory, the wormhole generator is fully charged, and the wormhole will be generated in 15 minutes, please get ready to go."
"Pluto Observatory, this is the Voyager, this ship is ready, I can't wait to start this trip." The captain replied.
The captain who carried out this great trip was named Zhou Xin, a 28-year-old rookie captain of Chinese descent. In the selection of the captain, he went through many competitions, and became the captain of the Voyager with his superb skills and extraordinary prestige. His assistant is called Lin Xiao (female), Chinese, and she is also the first mate of the Voyager, and she is also an excellent crew member who has been selected after layers of selection. In addition, the rest of the crew on the Voyager is also exceptional, as will be mentioned in the story later in the story.
"The wormhole starts the 3-minute countdown." Pluto Observatory.
"Countdown 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1 wormhole open"
At this time, there was a flash of light in Pluto's orbit, and after the flash, the starlight at the flash began to change and distort, and was gradually sucked into a point, and then the point became larger and larger, and gradually became a circle. Like a black hole, this hole absorbs the starlight behind it, and when you look into the hole, it is pitch black, but it doesn't seem to be completely dark, it is deep and far away, as if it is bottomless. Its edges shimmered with distorted starlight. At the same time, unstable spatial energy continued to pour out of this black hole, and arcs of lightning-like light flashed at the edge of the hole. This thrilling sight has captured everyone's attention.
"It finally worked." The scientists who watched the opening of the wormhole breathed a sigh of relief, and then their mood became tense again. "It's up to you to make or break it, so let's get ready to start walking through the wormhole."
"The Voyager is ready to go." Zhou Xin reported to the General Command. "Everything that should be prepared is ready, and the rest is to wish us success. This will be the biggest step humanity has ever taken, and whether we succeed or not, I hope to set an example for future generations. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Captain Zhou Xin, let's embark on our journey. Preparing to perform the wormhole entry procedure, all personnel enter the hibernation chamber. "Since this is the first time to pass through the wormhole, for safety reasons, all the crew on board will enter the hibernation chamber to spend this first wonderful journey.
"Everybody's ready. The hibernation chamber is operating normally, and the ship is about to take over command and prepare to enter the wormhole. This was the last sentence Zhou Xin heard before he went to sleep......
The massive Voyager's main engine erupted a faint burst of flame, and the Voyager slowly flew towards the wormhole......
