Chapter 1,604 People Sailing Towards the Future

In a week's time, Origin has passed through the orbit of Saturn. This article was first published by

The central computer has calculated the best route to Centauri. After the warp engine is fully activated, the Origin is expected to arrive at Centauri in fifty years. Elites from Earth's civilization will use the colonial equipment carried on the Origin to rebuild the glory of Earth's civilization in that unfamiliar galaxy.

As for whether one day we can return to the solar system and take back the mother planet of earth civilization from the swarm of insects...

Those are things that will only become clear centuries later.

"Good wine, but a little too spicy...what's its name?"

"Maotai," the old man smiled faintly and said softly, "just like vodka is to Russia, this drink has formed a culture in our country."

Although they are both the elites of Earth's civilization, this does not mean that everyone on the Origin is equal.

Where there are people, there will be class.

Major member states and minor member states, nuclear-armed countries and non-nuclear-armed countries, and even the original nationality of the crew on the Origin... these all directly determine the boarding list and the share of tickets allocated to each country or region. , as well as the identity and status of the boat passengers.

For example, Wang Dehai is sitting here.

According to the agreement before boarding the ship, after arriving in Centauri, passengers from various countries will establish colonies belonging to different countries on the terrestrial planet of Centauri according to their previous nationalities. For example, the Russian colony will be New Moscow, the Chinese colony will naturally be New Shangjing, and so on...

After Noah's Ark docked, the nobles were still nobles and the common people were still common people.

Although the Wang family has become weaker over the years, the power of the Wang family in China cannot be underestimated, otherwise he would not be sitting here, chatting and laughing with the ghost guy opposite.

As for the person sitting opposite him, it was Michael Bloomberg from the United States.

Speaking of Bloomberg, he is also an amazing person. Born in a middle-class family in 1942, he became the mayor of New York City in 2001. He is also the president of Bloomberg Company, with public assets of more than 50 billion US dollars.

It can be said that Bloomberg is a model of starting from scratch.

However, if you ask him to comment on his life, what he is most satisfied with is not defeating his political opponents to become mayor, nor making Bloomberg, also known as Bloomberg News, a benchmark in the financial industry. In the end, he sold all the assets and funds he held into cash, and used his entire net worth of 50 billion yuan to buy this ship ticket from an arms dealer who was said to have an old acquaintance with Jiang Chen. I took my grandson in his twenties and his great-granddaughter who was less than two years old on this flight to Centaur...

Otherwise, he would not be sitting here, tasting wine and laughing with the red nobles from the East.

"You got on the boat alone?"

"And my grandson and great-granddaughter." Bloomberg smiled and said softly, "Ordinary tickets can bring one adult relative and one minor relative on board. Originally, I wanted to leave the quota to my son. , but he couldn't accept this world, and after I called him, he chose to commit suicide..."

The end of the world means that his decades of life experience, all the efforts he has made for his life goals, and even the life goals themselves have become a ridiculous joke. As of the week before the end of the world, more than one million people committed suicide because they could not bear this reality.

Although compared with the population base of more than 8 billion, these one million people can only be said to be an insignificant feather, but the number of people who died due to despair even exceeded despair itself...

"I'm sorry to ask."

"It's nothing. At my age, these things are actually very open-minded." Bloomberg's smile was a little lonely, and he looked at the starry sky outside the window, which belongs to the direction of the earth. "I can go to other places in my lifetime." It’s good to see the world.”

Although the word "good"

He said it rather reluctantly.

"The earth... has probably fallen now." Staring at the darkness outside the window, Wang Dehai sighed softly, "To be honest, I never thought that I would have such a day."

Perhaps because it brought back memories, the two fell into a brief silence.

"It's a pity that each person is only allowed to carry ten kilograms of luggage."

"Any questions?"

"It's nothing... after all, survival is the first element. However, when I think of the paintings in the basement of my villa in Los Angeles, I still feel a bit pity." Bloomberg smiled weakly, "I only hope that those Bugs, don’t eat them...it’s hard to say what oil paintings taste like, but marble statues probably have little nutrition.”

"Then what did you do with those collections in the end?" Wang Dehai looked at Bloomberg and said with a smile after sipping the white wine in the porcelain cup.

"I gave them all away."

"Giving it away?"

"Well, the guy from Los Angeles who sold me his boat ticket," Bloomberg smiled, "he can't take those works of art with him anyway. If he plans to use the 50 billion to become a rich man, , then my collections may allow him to pretend to be a rich man more realistically."

At this point, the two of them laughed in unison.

The news that Bromberg spent 50 billion yuan to buy the ticket has become a famous joke on the Origin starship.

There are people who are willing to trade the chance of living for a pile of waste paper. There is nothing more stupid than this.

"What are your plans after disembarking?"

"The eldest son of the Lodge family wants me to be their economic advisor. They plan to build a colony on Centauri C and name it New Boston..." At this point, Bloomberg paused for a moment and said with a smile, " I won’t say more, because no one can guarantee that our friendship will last until the colony is established.”

"That's true." Wang Dehai did not deny it and said with a smile, "But with all due respect, the only ones worthy of being our opponents are the Russians. The time when you joined the Earth Defense Alliance... can only be said to be too late. .”

"Maybe, these things will be clear when you open your eyes." Bloomberg said with a noncommittal smile.

It would be okay if the resources on Centaur were rich, but if what was waiting for them was a planet with poor resources, maybe the first thing they would have to face would be these fellow human beings who arrived at Centaur with them.

Regarding this point, almost everyone has the same awareness.

They are the elite of human society.

They agree more than anyone else with the iron law of nature, survival of the fittest.

After all, they are the ones who survived from natural selection...

At this moment, a soft female voice sounded above the two of them.

"The Origin will enter sub-light speed in thirty minutes. The crew warmly reminds you that please open the sleep cabin and lie down with your hands flat on both sides of your thighs..."

The soft female voice repeated it twice in twelve Chinese languages.

When her voice stopped, Wang Dehai stood up from the chair, drank the last sip of white wine, and put the porcelain cup down heavily.

"Well, good luck to you."

"You too, God bless you."

Bloomberg stood up with a smile, toasted Wang Dehai, and walked toward the corridor outside the door.
