Chapter 1603
A week later, SS Istok passed through the orbit of Saturn.
The central computer calculated the best route to Alpha Centauri. With the warp drive fully engaged, the SS Istok would arrive at Alpha Centauri in fifty years. The elites of Earth civilization will use the colonization equipment aboard the SS Origin to restore the glory of Earth civilization in this strange and distant galaxy.
As to whether they could one day return to the solar system and reclaim their home planet from the hands of those bugs…
It was something which could only be determined centuries later.
“A good drink, but it’s too spicy… What’s it called?”
“Mutai, The old man smiled slightly and said in a low voice, “This is like vodka for Russia. In our country, this type of alcohol has become a culture.»
Even though they were both the elite of Earth civilization, that didn’t mean that everyone in SS Origin was equal.
Where there are people , there are classes.
Major and minor member states, nuclear and non-nuclear countries, and even the nationality of the crew members of the SS Istok … All this directly determined the boarding list and the share of tickets allocated to each country or region, as well as the identity and status of passengers.
For example, Wang Dehai, who was sitting here at that moment.
In accordance with the agreement made before landing, after the SS The source will reach Alpha Centauri, passengers from different countries will establish colonies belonging to different countries on planets of the galaxy similar to Earth, depending on their previous nationalities.For example, a Russian colony would be New Moscow, a Chinese colony, of course, would be New Shangjing… were still common people.
Although the Wang family had been in decline in recent years, the power of the Wang family in China still could not be underestimated, otherwise he wouldn’t be here talking and joking with foreigners.
As for the man sitting across from him, it was Michael Bloomberg from America.
Bloomberg was also an incredible person. Born into a middle-class family in 1942, he became mayor of New York in 2001. He was also president of Bloomberg with over $50 billion in assets.
Bloomberg’s story is yet another rags-to-riches success story.
However, if he had to comment on his life, he was not most proud of defeating his political opponents to become mayor and was not proud of his creation of Bloomberg, the leader of financial news and intelligence, instead he turned all assets and funds into cash, and with a net worth of 50 billion worldwide dollars, he bought this ticket from an arms dealer who was said to have a relationship with Jiang Chen.He took with him his grandson, who was in his twenties, as well as his great-granddaughter, who was less than two years old, on this flight to Alpha Centauri…
If it wasn’t for that, he wouldn’t be here, tasting alcohol and laughing with a Red Noble from the East.
“Are you alone on the ship?”

“Me with my grandson and great granddaughter.” Bloomberg smiled and said softly, “A regular ticket allows you to take an adult relative and a minor relative on board.Initially, I wanted to give this place to my son, but he could not accept such a life. After I called him, he decided to kill himself…”
The Day of Judgment meant that decades of life experience, hardship and effort to achieve the goal, as well as the goal itself, turned into a ridiculous joke. More than a million people have already committed suicide because they could not come to terms with this reality.
Although those millions were only a drop in the ocean compared to a population of more than eight billion people, the number of people who died from despair even surpassed the number of people who died from the source of that despair…
“Sorry for asking such a question.”
“That’s nothing. At my age, I stopped worrying about such things a long time ago.Bloomberg’s smile looked slightly devastated as he looked up at the starry sky outside the window, which pointed in the direction of Earth, “It’s good that I can see another world in my life.”
Although ” good” sounded rather reluctant.
“The earth… must have already fallen.” Wang Dehai looked into the darkness outside and sighed softly, “Honestly, I never thought a day like this would come.»
Perhaps because it brought back memories of the past, they fell silent for a while.
“Unfortunately, every person is allowed carry only ten kilos of luggage.”
“Any problems?”
“Nothing… After all, survival is the most important element. It’s just sad to think about my art collection in the basement of my Los Santos mansion.Bloomberg smiled, but the smile seemed weak and forced, “I just hope those bugs don’t eat them… It’s hard to tell what oil paintings taste like, but marble statues aren’t supposed to be nutritious, right?”
“Then what did you end up doing with these collections?” After taking a sip of alcohol from a china cup, Wang Dehai looked at Bloomberg and said with a smile.
“I gave them all away.”
“Have you given them away?»
“To the man from Los Santos who sold me his ticket,” Bloomberg smiled. “Anyway, I can’t take these arts away. If he’s going to use that 50 billion to feel rich, then my collections can make him feel rich more realistically.”
At that moment, they both laughed at the same time.
The news that Bloomberg bought tickets worth 50 billion of the world’s dollars became a well-known joke on the starship Istok.
There was no one more stupid than someone who traded a chance at life for a pile of useless paper.
“What are your plans after landing?”
“The eldest son of the family Loki wants me to be their economic advisor.They plan to build a colony on Alpha Centauri C and call it New Boston…” At this point, Bloomberg paused for a moment and said with a smile. I don’t have any further plans. No one can promise that our friendship will last until the colony is built.”
“That makes sense.” Wang Dehai did not deny this and said with a smile, “But let me be honest, the only people worthy of being our opponents are the Russians.When you joined the Earth Defense Alliance… It was a little late.”
“Maybe all this will become clear after we open our eyes.” Bloomberg did not condemn this statement, instead he simply laughed it off.
If Alpha Centauri was rich in resources, it would be great. If the planet were poor in resources, then the first thing they would have to deal with would be their fellow humans who had come to Alpha Centauri together.
Almost everyone was aware of this fact.
They were the elite of human society.
They followed more than anyone else.
After all, they were the ones who survived natural selection…
At that moment, a soft female voice was heard above their heads.
“SS Source will reach subluminal speed in 30 minutes.The crew reminds you to please open the hibernation cabin, lie down straight with your hands by your feet…”
A soft female voice repeated these instructions twice in twelve languages.
When her voice trailed off, Wang Dehai stood up from his chair, finished off the remaining alcohol in the cup, and set down the china cup with force.
“Then I wish you good luck.”
“The same goes for you, God bless you.»
Bloomberg smiled, stood up, made a toast to Van Dehai, and headed for the hallway outside the door.
