Things on the Moon were temporarily concluded.
Zhang Xiaoman had already arranged their subsequent work, which did not require constant monitoring.
At this moment, he had arrived on the Dawn, ready to begin this journey.
Though it’s called a journey, it wasn’t all that exaggerated.
Having the ability of Unlimited Teleportation, Zhang Xiaoman himself didn’t actually need to stay on the ship.
Once he had set the course, he could just teleport there directly when the time came.
At this time, there were no other people on the Dawn.
Although this operation seemed risk-free for Zhang Xiaoman, when it comes to the unknown expanses of space, anything was possible.
Therefore, to avoid any accidents, it was deemed best for him to go alone this time.
Even though Li Xiang and Shi Yong had expressed their desire to join him,
Zhang Xiaoman did not agree to their request for safety reasons.
After all, even if he encountered any danger, he could teleport back at any moment.
And these individuals were not Awakeners; in the face of danger, they couldn’t even flee.
With the ability to teleport at any time, Zhang Xiaoman actually faced only one risk during this voyage, namely the Dawn itself.
He wasn’t afraid of getting lost in space, his only worry was that the Dawn might not be able to return.
"Star Order, lock in this coordinate, set the autopilot, and proceed immediately."
Inside the command center, Zhang Xiaoman issued a command to the ship’s smart brain.
The destination was precisely the wormhole coordinates obtained from the wreckage of the Makula Spaceship last time.
The reason he was in a hurry to come here, rather than waiting until the ship had upgraded or more of Guleng Star System’s technology had been deciphered, was partly due to this reason.
According to current scientific opinions, a wormhole, as a special existence similar to a teleportation gate in the universe, is unstable and cannot persist indefinitely but has a certain duration.
Of course, these were all just speculations.
After all, as of now, no one had truly seen a wormhole; he could count as the first among humans.
Adopting a ’better safe than sorry’ attitude, Zhang Xiaoman decided it was best to act sooner rather than later.
If he delayed too long and the wormhole disappeared, then he would lose the only way to reach the Guleng Star System.
"Coordinates confirmed, starting autopilot..."
"Autopilot enabled, preparing for jump..."
The voice of Star Order resonated from beside him, followed by a full twenty minutes of preparation for the jump.
Zhang Xiaoman sat in the captain’s dedicated chair, waiting for that moment to arrive.
Honestly, he was still a bit nervous.
This was, after all, his first interstellar journey, and the destination was a foreign star system light years away. If not for the existence of this wormhole, with his current capabilities, he would likely be unable to reach such a place.
Looking at the dark expanse surrounding him, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but recall the first time he flew out of Water Blue Star in an anti-gravity car.
Back then, his ship’s level was quite low, and just exiting the atmosphere took a long time.
Who could have thought that in just a few months, he would be ready to embark on a genuine interstellar journey?
The twenty minutes passed in a flash, and after the jump preparations, the Dawn suddenly accelerated, blurring the surrounding light; nothing could be seen but darkness.
"Jump completed, 320,000 km remaining to the target, approaching..."
Star Order’s voice sounded again, reporting the status of the voyage.
One must admit, the speed of the jump was truly fast; it only took a blink of an eye to reach the destination.
However, for safety reasons, Zhang Xiaoman had not directed the ship to jump directly into the wormhole.
Instead, he stopped at a certain distance from it to prevent any mishaps.
Now, he was still about 340,000 kilometers from the wormhole. With the current speed of the Dawn, it roughly required three hours.
During this time, he wouldn’t stay on board the whole time.
Instead, he planned to return to Rebirth Island first and teleport back after the ship had crossed the wormhole.
The simplest reason for doing so was safety considerations.
Although the Makula had previously crossed this wormhole, proving that life forms could freely traverse it,
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t know whether the other party had taken any other protective measures.
If he encountered any accidents while crossing the wormhole, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
This couldn’t be blamed on him being overly cautious.
It was really because his understanding of space navigation was quite limited, and human technology was still far behind, making him err on the side of caution.
However, even though he couldn’t be on the ship, this did not mean he couldn’t see what was happening there.
With a thought in his mind, the next second, a small blue figure appeared in front of him.
With its trademark chirp, Jiu Jiu happily scampered to its master wanting to be hugged.
Zhang Xiaoman patted its head, then voiced the reason he had summoned it.
"Jiu Jiu, I’m going to pass through a space wormhole soon. At that time, you stay on the ship, and I’ll use the shared field of view ability to check the situation here, ensuring there are no problems before coming over."
