Chapter 479: Humans aren't humans

It was a strange feeling. It felt like his consciousness was dragged into a vacuum by that tentacle and was floating in the endless universe.
[Spiritual connection?]
Jiang Chen didn't know why these words would appear in his hand, but once he thought carefully, the word seemed accurately describe everything he saw.
Gradually, the universe brightened up.
Everything around him was covered in color. The world made out of nothingness began to fill up. It didn't feel like virtual reality, but it was similar.
Yes, it was just like watching a hologram movie.
Suddenly, behind the clouds, Jiang Chen saw a magnificent scene.
It was a vertical building or a rectangular shape that pierced through the clouds. People were busy working below with hovercars moving around it, operating all kinds of equipment while building this massive skyscraper.
White paint in 12 languages described the same word.
It was like an inscription.
The space colonization ship based on the god of creation in India's legends belonged to the PAC. It was launched from Sri Heligida Island.
It was just like watching an animated CG of a game. The stabilizer holding the skyscraper began to detach as Jiang Chen watched it ignite, rise, break through the atmosphere, and head away from the blue planet.
Away from the solar system.
Like Noah's Ark engraved in the ”Genesis” at the top of the Roman Sistine Chapel, it carried the hopes of one-sixth of mankind. But it wasn't heading into a monstrous flood but rather it was en route to the boundless galaxy.
With regrets for past hatred and best wishes for the remaining survivors on land, the passengers waved goodbye to the planet.
Top speeds were one-tenth of the speed of light and it had a capacity of 27,000 passengers. The passengers were mostly from the elite class of different fields in addition to the constructors of the ship.
The plan was that the Braham would form a fleet with two other ships at the synchronous orbit around Neptune before heading to the wormhole 6400 astronomical units away from the sun.
Although humans hadn't set foot in this area, 22nd-century theories already proved that a singularity point existed here. All parameters of physics were twisted in this place. As long as they passed through this area, they could traverse hundreds and even thousands of lightyears away.
And behind that wormhole would be mankind's new home!
Before they entered the wormhole, everyone would lie in the hibernation chambers. Of course, while they envisioned the best for the future, they were also prepared for the worst.
Fortunately, the Gods they believed in didn't abandon them as they passed through the wormhole safely.
A year passed before the survivor with code 01 came out of hibernation. When he woke up from hibernation, he was ecstatic to discover that he was still alive. The ship was in auto-exploration mode, floating in boundless space.
According to plan, he entered the cockpit and proved to the system that he was healthy. He woke all the other passengers in the hibernation chamber.
They held a huge celebration party and cheered for the rebirth of mankind in the merciless galaxy.
Astronomers looked at the star map and confirmed that the ship was still in the Milky Way, but it was 20.5 light years outside the Libra near the planet Gliese 581g.
This 581g planet was located in the red dwarf Gliese 581's ”habitable” zone, 0.15 astronomical units away from the star.
The planet was similar to Mercury in the solar system with one side always facing the star. One side of the planet was permanently under the star's light while the other side was permanently in the dark, known as tidal locking.
Although it was hard to imagine, this particular formation stabilized the planet's climate.
In addition, people also learned that the planet revolved around itself in 37 days with a thick atmosphere. There was water on the surface. The planet's diameter was 1.3 times that of Earth, so its gravity was similar.
It was a planet suitable for habitation.
