Chapter 3 - Reality

In 3517, an unknown chain reaction occurred inside the sun, and the consumption of hydrogen element accelerated sharply.

After three months of repeated observations and complex calculations by the team of scientists, a striking conclusion was drawn: It is estimated that the helium flash is only 600 years away.

When this observation was sent to the federal government, everyone was in despair. Although space technology has developed over the past three hundred years, it has been possible to carry out long-distance interplanetary navigation and wormhole crossing.

If the earth is really going to be destroyed, then humanity will lose it's home planet.

A huge interstellar immigration plan was formulated in less than three months.

In 3519, the whole world began to concentrate all forces and began the 'Noah's Ark' project.

The code name of the Interstellar Immigration Program is "Noah's Ark", which is the last hope of mankind. In order to avoid social breeding panic, the immigration plan is strictly confidential.

It is planned to build 90,000 large-scale spaceships in 100 years, each of which can accommodate 100,000 people. Around 3618, 9 billion people on earth will be sent to the newly discovered Delta Star, which is 7.62 light-years away from the earth.

The whole plan of processing artificial intelligence, building 90,000 large-scale spaceships and a realistic virtual reality game will take a whole 100 years.

The entire plan is divided into a number of separate parts, which are assigned to different organizations or departments. It can be said that in addition to the federal president, no second person knows the complete plan content.

According to the original plan of 'Noah's Ark', everyone should fly in a frozen state of sleep for more than 300 years, and finally wake up after arriving at Delta Star.

However, after experiments and artificial intelligence simulations, human brain cells are completely frozen at ultra-low temperature for more than 3-10 years, and consciousness will completely disappear.

In order to solve this fatal problem, the newly established human federation has launched a 'conscious body plan', which is to allow everyone to transfer their conscious body into a realistic virtual game called "Delta Life" after entering the cryopod. in order to maintain the activity of the conscious body.

As an important part of the "Noah's Ark" program, "Delta Life" has naturally been covered with a mysterious veil since its birth. Around the game planning and design, there are countless interests struggles and compromises. The level of excitement far exceeds drama plot of TV shows.

"Delta Life" is a virtual game world based on MMORPG. Brain scientists have found that the process of practising in "Delta Life" not only helps to maintain the activity of the conscious body, but also continuously strengthens the conscious body.

The game map is completely generated from the Earth as a real template, and the area is expanded tenfold. The game design team is only responsible for the game architecture and game mode design. The specific game scenes and NPCs are derived from the historical data of each country.

The design team scanned the historical image data, text data and cultural relics of all countries and then imported them into the Skynet host "Gaia" to carry out intelligent deductions for decades.

Even the designer, in the end, is not clear about the specific task flow and detailed data parameters in the game.

In order to ensure the relative fairness of the game, Gaia generates a land alone, and the internal map does not appear in the official game map. Through the internal test, Gaia can continuously observe the player's game behavior and the NPC's response. According to the massive first-hand observation data, Gaia constantly analyzes and summarizes, constantly adjusting and perfecting the game settings.

The internal test is carried out in batches, each lasting for a decade. The people who test each time are different, and the content of the test is different. After 50 years of internal testing, Gaia completely shut down the game and completed the final deduction for another 49 years. It is scheduled to be officially beta on January 1, 3618. Even the internal testers couldn't figure out what kind of changes the game would have.

Everything is unknown.

98 years later, on January 1, 3617 one whole year before the migration plan. "Delta Life" launched one last top-secret internal test, and all internal test personnel were required to sign a strict confidentiality agreement.

On December 20, 3617, the official website of "Delta Life" was officially launched. The official website is divided into three sections, databases, malls and forums. The database has only basic information about the game architecture and no detailed information.

On January 1, 3618, 90,000 spaceships were launched one after another, heading towards the new home of mankind, with an estimated arrival time of 369 years.
