Whoosh.
It's not the sky that's raining, it's Lin Yuan typing away!
So diligent!
While typing, Lin Yuan also reviewed the entire content of "The Wandering Earth" in his mind.
Centuries ago.
Scientists discovered abnormal activity inside the Sun.
According to scientific predictions, it would produce a violent explosion called a "helium flash," expanding into a vast and dim red giant star, completely engulfing the Earth.
The only way for humanity to survive was to embark on interstellar migration!
The only viable destination for humans was Proxima Centauri, 4.3 light-years away.
Thus, the united human government consolidated all resources, building over ten thousand Earth Engines, planning to take the Earth out of the Solar System within 2500 years, a span of 100 generations, to reach the vicinity of Proxima Centauri.
In order for Earth to travel in the direction humans desired, it was first necessary to use the planetary engines to stop the Earth's rotation.
