Humans are essentially a bunch of electrical signals.

Your perception of this world,

your memory,

is all getting into here,

right through this wire.

Yes,

right here.

Fuck it!

I'm not escaping.

I don't care any fucking problems

100 years from now.

This is not my problem!

This is the technology

keeping human civilization alive.

I'm creating a new world!

Why is it forbidden?

Why?

Your body is fragile.

It gets hurt.

It gets sick.

It gets old.

It dies.

It gets fucking depressed.

But,

the digital you

can live forever,

theoretically.

At first,

nobody cared about the disaster.

It was just another wildfire,

another drought,

the extinction of a species,

and the disappearance of a city.

Until one day,

it became relevant

to everyone.

You know,

back then, in this place,

you didn't even need guns.

You really missed the good old days.

And this street

It wasn't like this.

It was...

The night market rocked.

It was known as the "Little Northeast" of Africa.

Barbeque stalls everywhere.

It's fine.

Patrols.

The mosquito pie.

This thick.

500,000 mosquitos in one pie.

Delicious.

Can't even have mosquitos anymore.

We're here.

This is where they are.

Bro,

Sis,

Peiqiang is here.

I brought him to see you.

Your kid has made you proud.

He passed the examination

for China Reserve Astronauts,

They're sending him

to the Moon.

He's here now doing his training.

You can rest assure.

I'll take care of him.

Chief,

is the Solar Crisis real?

You'll go blind.

It must be.

Otherwise, what's all this fighting for?

Anyway,

the Earth will be engulfed in a century

and the Solar System will be gone in three.

End of story.

What else can we do?

Easy. Easy.

Navigation System Engaged

Do you think

you're ready for the Moon?

You'll spend

more than ten years up there, maybe twenty.

Sounds great.

Our family will finally be

reunited up there.

Besides,

Earth isn't even that great.

Being alive is pretty great.

Silly kid.

Remember

to hang in there.

Steady!

Steady!

You see that?

That's the first test engine of The Moving Mountain Project.

It'll be completed in under six months.

Six months?

Can it be done?

You know what?

We can even

build these engines on the Moon.

No humans necessary,

entirely machine made.

They'll work non-stop and fast.

As long as no one messes with construction,

six months should be enough.

Attention.

ATC10171 is entering

AA inner circle Mark D2.

Please confirm.

IFF check pass.

Stand down.

The Sun

is rapidly degenerating,

and expanding.

In 100 years,

the Sun will completely

engulf the Earth.

In 300 years,

the Solar System would no longer exist.

To cope with the impending Solar Crisis,

the UEG was established.

UEG is hereby established.

Dozens of plans for dealing with the Crisis were proposed.

To ensure the survival of the greatest number of people,

the Moving Mountain Project was eventually selected.

The project aims to construct 10,000 Earth Engines,

to propel Earth away from the Solar System.

Three Lunar Satellite Engines will also be constructed

to displace the Moon,

enabling Earth to break away from the Moon's gravity

and begin its journey.

To verify the feasibility of the Moving Mountain Project,

33 countries co-founded

the joint experiment bases in Libreville

and on the Moon's Campanus Crater.

However,

as the project progressed,

the difficulty and high cost of its implementation

have strained the resource of nations around the world.

Doubts,

opposition,

and conflict,

escalate daily.

Another armed riot broke out

in the suburb of Libreville.

UEG has sent peacekeeping forces

to quell it.

Their equipment is getting more sophisticated.

There must be state-level armed forces behind it...

The solution to the Crisis

have become a crisis itself.

The feasibility verification of the Moving Mountain Project

is now the utmost urgency.

This is First Avenue.

We have been attacked.

I repeat.

We have been attacked.

This is UEG Avenue.

We have three officers injured.

Calling for backup.

Location: UEG Building.

There's been an explosion.

Requesting for backup.

The Headquarter was attacked.

Be careful in Philadelphia.

Okay.

One minute.

I understand.

I think the Digital Life supporters did this.

They should never have banned the Digital Life Project.

Do we know the number of attackers?

I don't give a...

Just send!

Sorry.

I don't give a damn!

from 53 countries.

As of now,

there are 17 reports of damage

on the UEG HQ building;

the United Nations Avenue has 13;

First Avenue has 21;

5 on East 43rd Street;

74 on East 44th Street.

I'll cut to the chase.

This attack on the UEG is an indication

that people have lost interest

in the project.

We advise

postponement of the Moving Mountain Project.

Now Mike,

Actually I don't think that's a good idea.

The hour before dawn

is always the darkest.

We advise

that we continue to push forward,

withstanding all distraction and disruptions.

Complete the verification as soon as possible.

Don't forget,

we only have a 13-month window.

The Sun

will not wait for us.

Peiqiang.

I'm telling you,

it's dangerous out there.

Try your best to get in.

Don't fall in love.

Don't get married.

Don't have children.

Don't worry.

I'm going to explore space on behalf of mankind.

have now successfully entered the base in Gabon

building up the talent pool for the Moving Mountain Project.

A large crowd of protesters

are gathered outside the base,

protesting against

the continuation of the Moving Mountain Project.

It seems like...

Get out of my way!

Watch out!

I'm burning this place down!

Han Duoduo.

Is Earth great or what?

All armed personnel,

you have been surrounded.

Drop your weapons at once

and surrender.

It moves!

It moves when you do.

Have you had breakfast?

Huh?

You might throw up.

Huh?

If you throw up, you're out.

Huh?

This is your first training in the air.

Try not to let your vomit

block your windpipes.

If you throw up, you can piss off.

I'm not performing CPR

on anyone.

Hello,

I'm Han Duoduo.

Low Earth Orbit Healthcare major.

Hello.

Liu Peiqiang.

Liu Peiqiang.

Hey, beautiful.

How you doing?

I'm fine.

Thank you.

And you?

I'm a friend.

Earth won't go easy on you

just because you're cadets.

Check your anti-G suits,

or your parents

will end up in tears.

Prepare to launch Space Elevator.

All staff for final check.

Ready to inflate anti-G suits.

You know, beautiful,

if you are afraid.

you can always hold my hand.

Give up.

I'll get rid of half of you.

Prepare your weapons.

Congratulations, you two

have passed the first examination.

You are now selected to be trainees at the Lunar Base.

Traveling through space isn't really what's important.

Giving flowers to the girl you like is what matters.

You are so corny.

Another 15 degrees,

and it's perfect.

They're watching closely.

Can't do this.

We'll be watching next time.

The gun.

Only five minutes.

Hey.

Look.

So pretty.

Who's it for?

If you want I can deliver it.

You must know who it's for.

Huh?

Get out of here.

Go.

Or

Get lost.

I can deliver it

when you make up your mind?

Either way,

I'll be here.

Always.

Hey,

you.

Have you seen Liu Peiqiang?

Liu Peiqiang.

Nope.

Sorry.

Nov!

Simultaneous interpretation online now.

You dropping off cadets?

Hey.

You better be giving our school a good name.

You bastard,

call me by my full name.

It's been years.

We both lost weight.

You lost too much.

What's going on?

Don't close the door.

There's still someone else.

Open up.

As Light of the Earth,

I should've gone to the Moon last year.

But they made me stay and teach for another year.

Mr. Wang is just jealous of me.

Exactly.

Cause you're the Light of the Earth.

I didn't do it on purpose.

Who unplugged all the safety plugs?

Who did this?

I don't know.

What the hell is happening?

Mr. Wang is against me.

We lost control of all the drones!

Our system's been hacked!

They're really rushing us.

Are we getting paid for overtime?

We're still trainees.

We don't have medical insurance.

It's alright.

I get you,

Nurse.

Mr. Secretary,

ladies and gentlemen,

merely 4 hours ago,

the Space Elevator suffered

a carefully planned and organized terrorist attack.

As of now,

the death toll stands at 3,521,

yet a further 5,137 injured.

This is the largest terrorist attack

aimed at the Moving Mountain Project

since the attack on the UEG Headquarters 3 months ago.

This attack has directly caused severe delays

in the Moving Mountain Project.

This means

we will not be able to complete in time

the verification of the feasibility of these projects.

Mankind's countermeasures against the Solar Crisis

are increasingly likely to be terminated.

We reserve all rights

to take further action as appropriate.

We are confident in our ability

to protect our homeland

and the safety of our citizens.

The space agency replied,

we have seven months.

Seven months.

Xiaoxi.

Excuse me, sir?

Are you sure I should give this speech?

It's so important.

Every speech that we give here is important.

All you have to do is read it,

one word at a time.

The Space Elevator was destroyed

in an attack on March 12th.

The Moving Mountain Project is facing a major setback.

Protests broke out in many places

asking to restart the Digital Life Project.

I live forever!

Under time pressure,

the UEG held an emergency conference

to discuss relaunching the Digital Life Project.

We are fully committed to the plan

and will continue to move forward.

In seven months,

we will complete the feasibility test

of the Moving Mountain Project.

What is going on?

What is happening?

What should we do now?

Hey what the hell is going on?

Quick.

Our electricity system has been hacked.

Members of the UEG.

We call on all nations to manage their disputes.

Stop preparing for war.

Instead allocate your energy and resources

to Solar Crisis initiatives.

The main artery that links Earth and the Moon has been cut.

We underestimated

the opposition's power to infiltrate.

91% of Americans do not believe

in the Moving Mountain Project.

The U.S. Senate is discussing

pulling out of it

and restarting the Digital Life Project.

More are questioning

how much solving a crisis 100 years in the future

should matter to people living now.

It seems

the world isn't on the side of reality.

Zhou,

what do you think we should do now?

Let me show you something.

What is it?

That?

Right there.

Back in 1990,

taken by your Voyager 1,

it's a picture of Earth.

Right

This pale blue dot

it means everything to us.

The Moving Mountain

is going to build 10,000 engines

on this pale blue dot you see

and take it

to its new home in the next 2,500 years.

Mike,

Do you believe in that?

That's just a photo from space that's

Voyager looking back at us.

Wel I do.

And so will my children.

And one day their children will, too.

When that day comes,

We will see blue skies over Earth once again,

and there will be

blossoms on every bough.

So you tell me,

which plan do you think is the right path forward?

I will convey this to my President.

By the way,

completing the feasibility test for the Moving Mountain Project,

in just seven months,

is quite doubtful.

But, good luck.

Seven months.

To build two engines.

On our own.

This isn't fair.

Xiaoxi,

if everything were fair,

why build this building?

In times of crisis,

put duty above all.

Unity comes at a cost.

The first batch of supplies is on the way.

We're counting on it

for the next seven months.

Papa,

how do we solve this puzzle?

Solar storm destroyed transformer 4.

What do you want me to do? There's no power.

We need to pull everyone out

before they suffocate.

It's the fourth time this month.

Stop your whining.

The solar activity is about to burst.

Better get used to it.

Papa.

Papa, it's so dark over there.

It's okay.

The power is just out over here.

Papa.

Papa,

how do we solve this puzzle?

How?

It looks like it's quite hard honey.

Papa isn't sure.

Then teach me how to braid my hair please?

Tu Hengyu,

the last batch of supplies is here.

Assemble now.

Papa,

Papa, I want a hug!

I'll give you a hug when I get back okay?

Ma Zhao,

I'd like to show you the reentry capsule

from our first lunar mission.

Apart from me,

it's another Light of the Earth.

The seven-month time frame corresponds to

the next solar erruption.

Since solar wind is harmful to electronic equipment,

the lunar surface operation will be paused for at least a year.

Before that,

we have to ignite

the Lunar Satellite Engine

to give the world an answer.

They brought us new devices

to better help us test the engine.

Mr. Ma,

come say a few words.

Everyone,

a round of applause.

This is 550C.

At present, the most advanced

self-aware, self-adapting,

compiling, and computing core.

After connecting to the hardware,

it can generate an operation system in real time,

and organize the construction of the engines.

Right now, there are just three of these in the world.

we brought this one here to collect automated data.

Tu Hengyu and I

will be in charge of 550C's system operation.

Okay, Mr. Ma.

We believe that, with its help,

we'll quickly recover from any impacts

of the solar wind

be able to carry out the ignition test.

Tu Hengyu,

connect 550C as soon as possible.

Test its compatibility

and restart the damaged modules.

Mr. Ma,

I need your password.

Module Group 11 activated.

Module Group 27 activated.

Module Group 31 activated.

Module Group 44 activated.

DOG Cluster activated.

Printing of construction materials resumed.

550C is so fast.

It's really quick.

I brought your data card

from the institute.

This your backup from 2037

when you were there.

In terms of your privacy,

after the institute shuts down,

all members have to decide

whether to keep their personal backup.

If you want to keep it,

sign here.

If not, I'll destroy it right here.

What about your backup?

Destroyed.

I hope to truly die

One day.

I don't want to be

someone's digital pet.

Reality is

When we die, we're just dead.

According to forecast, a level Z3 solar storm

is arriving in four hours.

I know what you're thinking about.

For the next three months,

we'll be working day and night.

If the ignition test for the Lunar Satellite Engine fails,

we're all dead.

Papa.

Papa.

How do we solve this puzzle?

It looks like it's very hard.

Papa doesn't know.

Then teach me how to braid my hair please pa?

Alright.

Oh hi Uncle Ma!

Papa.

You're with Uncle Ma!

Follow.

Uncle Ma.

What are you doing?

Yaya.

Papa has to do some work.

Go get some rest ok?

Bye-Bye, Papa.

Bye-Bye, Uncle Ma.

Papa.

Where am I?

Where's Mommy?

Papa, it's so cold here.

Can you come hug me?

Papa.

Papa,

where's Mommy?

Papa, hug me.

Papa.

Papa,

how do we solve this puzzle?

In what generation did she develop self-awareness?

The 425th.

This was the hope

for digital life development.

Is our research

really on hold indefinitely?

Not exactly,

it was permanently banned legally.

If this tech became widespread,

in these catastrophic times,

who would want to

live in the real world?

The temptation of eternal life in the digital world

would be irresistible

for ordinary people.

Twinkle twinkle little star.

How I wonder what you are.

Papa,

I want ice cream at the amusement park!

Do you want strawberry

or a milk flavored one?

I want the biggest one,

as big as I am!

Let's get one of each!

Mom always ends up

eating them anyway.

Mommy's teeth will fall out.

Then what are we gonna do?

As soon as we get there,

Papa will get them.

Are you crazy?

Why didn't he take the girl to the hospital?

This is not a hospital.

She was brought here from the hospital.

Mr. Ma.

I can't sign this.

I'm so sorry but this equipment

it belongs to the institute.

The child's life is hanging by a thread.

It's an opportunity.

The technology is not ready yet.

His wife is dead.

Can't we save some of his memories?

Mr. Ma.

Who will take responsibility for this?

I will.

The research we need is almost complete.

Mr. Ma.

550A's hardware

has reached its limit.

Yaya has gone through

915 iterations,

but she still only lives for 2 minutes.

I want to...

I want

to give her a complete life.

I know why you're showing me this,

but the answer is no.

550C is for the ignition test only.

Once the mission is complete,

550A will be retrieved and destroyed.

I allowed you to use 550A before

out of sympathy.

Don't push it.

Warning.

Level Z9 solar storm.

Warning.

Level Z9 solar storm.

Attention, all units.

Attention, all units.

Solar storm will hit the lunar surface

in 6 minutes.

Stop all activities immediately

and return to the base.

Are you sure about this?

Speed up.

I thought we had an hour.

Mr. Ma, Hengyu,

Where are you guys?

The storm's hitting earlier than expected.

Early warning system failure.

On our way.

We still have 3 kilometers to go.

There's an underground bunker at the base.

It's the only place 550C will be safe.

This damn vehicle is so much harder to drive than a plane.

Our lives are at risk.

Cut the crap,

and drive!

The solar storm is

on our asses.

We're almost there.

Come help us unload!

Inform Earth.

Giant solar storm,

exceeding the forecasted level.

You're talking nonsense.

All comms are down.

Are you kidding?

Come on.

Tu Hengyu,

come on.

Mr. Ma,

the safety buckle is broken.

You had great timing damn it!

Go.

Hurry up.

There's no time!

If the oxygen supply goes down, we'll suffocate.

Almost there.

It's almost there.

Tu Hengyu,

come on.

Hurry!

Take the helmet off.

The oxygen supply system is damaged.

Hurry!

He's suffocating.

He's dying.

Quick!

Everybody still breathing?

Oh my God!

Well done.

The current situation is that...

Well,

that pretty much sums it up.

The strange thing is,

none of our warning devices

sent any alarm at all.

550C is destroyed.

And without it,

we can't accurately control

the launch positions of the engine.

If we ignite it by force...

Boom!

Smack you.

The test is in 3 days.

If we miss the window, we're all doomed.

What are we, out of ideas?

When will the safety buckle actually be safe?

I have an idea.

550A might work.

Papa.

Papa,

how do we solve this puzzle?

It's four.

It is four.

Papa, you're the best.

Good girl, Yaya.

Papa will be back to see you.

Bye-Bye.

Bye-Bye, Papa.

Here.

Should be enough for ignition.

It'll take me a few days to modify this.

But the computational load of ignition is heavy.

It'll burn 550A out.

I have one condition.

I want to be involved with the 550 series.

If you agree,

I'll give you the password for 550A.

Moving Mountain Project verification:

Tu Hengyu,

what are you waiting for?

Mr. Ma,

I need you to confirm

what you promised me.

This is very important to me.

I want to give Yaya

a complete life.

For the sake of Mother Earth!

What are you doing?

Work it!

Should we just go?

I promise.

If we succeed,

don't forget Yaya.

Lunar 1 Test Engine ignition trial was completed.

The Moon was successfully

displaced by 0.4 nano arc seconds.

This proves

that 20 years from now, the Moon

can be pushed into the targeted position.

And it will no longer have gravitational pull on Earth.

Based on this achievement,

No.1 Planetary Test Engine,

will begin its trial ignition today.

If we successfully shift Earth,

then the two experiments

will serve to verify

the feasibility of the Moving Mountain Project.

This will bring hope

to all mankind

and the solution for the Solar Crisis.

Failed, huh?

How will you explain that to the world?

Another seven months wasted.

It failed, right?

What do you tell the world now?

The Earth

made an angular displacement of 2 pico arc seconds.

We did it!

It's working!

Ignition is successful!

We finally found the direction for the future!

The Moving Mountain Project has been verified!

I just went to get your red envelope.

Have a seat.

Right here?

You sure?

Of course.

Go ahead.

Here, have one.

I don't smoke.

I'm the groom's father.

His last name is Liu.

Why's yours Zhang?

Two successful engine ignition tests

proved 550C's great potential

550C's coordination can

shorten underground cities' construction time

by 75%,

greatly reducing

the cost of the Moving Mountain Project.

Canada's geological exploration is completed.

Construction of North American Engines

will officially begin.

The quantum computer 550 series

based on 550C, is being developed with

an private Engine network with higher computing power.

According to a new round of surveys,

for the first time, public support for Moving Mountain

has overtaken that of Digital Life.

The last of the Space Elevator attackers

are now on public trial.

This marks the end

of the Digital Life Project.

You brats.

I'll have to show you

what it really means to be an astronaut.

As the Space Elevator is being rebuilt,

the UEG begins work

on the Navigator Project,

to provide early warning for the Moving Mountain Project.

Europe is seeking authority so that

more 550Cs can be used

for construction.

Sooner or later,

we will be replaced by these things.

Full automation

has replaced a great number of industrial workers.

Over the past 14 years,

through autonomous decision-making

and automated construction,

the 550 series has allowed us

to build 5,321

engines.

The Underground City Sortition Program

was passed at the UEG general assembly today.

Chinese representatives protested strongly

against the fairness of the Program.

Which is seriously against

the original intention of the Moving Mountain Project.

Only half of the global population

will have the opportunity to enter the underground cities.

As the Earth rotation gradually comes to a halt,

we will switch from the 24-hour time system

to a 60-hour one.

The surge in solar radiation

has led to an explosive growth of cancer around the world.

We experienced hardships.

We've given resources,

and time,

even lives.

At the same time, we achieved

cooperation and unity.

Get lost.

Don't let the robots take our jobs.

Look at their suits.

Sooner or later, they will be replaced.

Welcome to the Sulawesi

automated construction base.

550W, an upgraded version of the quantum computer 550C,

enters offline testing phase.

It's estimated to build the control network

for Earth Engines globally

for the next ten years.

It'll be fine.

No big deal. I'll do the navigator interview.

Then our son will then get a spot too.

Delegates,

I hereby invite you all

to safeguard

the unity of mankind.

Please allow me

to solemnly announce

on behalf of China,

the Moving Mountain Project is now officially renamed:

the Wandering Earth Project.

In the past 28 years,

there have been 9.1 billion

cyber attacks against us.

7.9 billion of these were made

in the year 2044 alone.

In January,

there were 30 million cyber attacks.

Over the past several months,

we have seen the infrastructure of New York City

and UEG Headquarters

damaged beyond repair.

And in March this year,

there were 4.4 billion attacks.

The Space Elevator was also attacked

which resulted in the fall of the Ark Space Station.

On the lunar base, the life support

and early warning systems were disabled.

However,

in the last decade,

over 10,000 attackers and organizers

have been arrested.

We have put a stop

to the Digital Life Project.

Speaking of which,

digital technology

has greatly enhanced

our construction efficiency.

The risks are nothing

compared to the benefits.

This image

was received by Institute 710 back in 1987.

The text reads:

2044.

Source unknown.

This second one was received

by our Ultrafast Optics Lab last week.

It reads:

205807.

Source unknown.

This news

concerns the safety of thousands of labs worldwide.

We believe that messages like this

have been received by intelligence agencies around the world.

We think that

these messages are a warning.

We are all well aware

of what happened in 2044.

We hope all parties take this matter seriously.

It's June 22nd,

2058.

Behind me

you're looking at the newly unveiled Lunar Departure Monument.

Xiaoxi.

Sit down.

Have you received any responses yet

to the backup plan for the Moon?

Some countries raised objections

and didn't sign the document.

the donation of strategic nuclear weapons is controversial.

I'm worried this will end up like 14 years ago.

Take strict precautions

and have a backup plan.

In my estimation, the key

is the beans itself.

Now there are many exceptional beans that

come from places like Sumatra,

and uh...even Katmandu.

Once the Moon is too far to be seen,

I bet they'll cancel Mid-Autumn Holiday.

Fine as long as we get mooncakes,

especially meat-stuffed ones!

Dude,

are you sure you're talking about mooncakes?

Huh?

You're such a northerner!

People today don't see the Moon of yore,

yet our Moon once shone on the ancients.

The Moon will always live

in the memory of mankind

as we pine for our homeland.

As the Lunar Exile Project innitiates,

once again,

let us give our best wishes to the Moon.

I have

a watermelon

Cut right in half.

Half to you,

half for Mommy.

Come here,

come here.

One, two.

Go ahead.

These ones

should be for you two.

I'll take mine on my phone,

so I can edit them later.

Mommy is gonna edit the pictures of us!

I want to do it too, mommy.

Wait till mommy's done.

Let me do it too, mommy.

Hang on.

Let me finish first.

I want to edit them, too.

Just give me one minute,

alright?

It's okay.

Mommy, I don't want to anymore.

Don't be scared.

Liu Qi, don't be scared.

It's okay.

It'll be okay.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

I know what you're thinking.

Do you have any idea how many people around the world

won't get a spot?

In the underground cities?

Do you know how many people would kill for your spot?

You should be relieved

that Yaya doesn't have to live in a world like this.

Even though global Internet has shut down,

the 550W retains

all types of network interfaces.

The moment you connect Tu Yaya

your spot will be cancelled immediately

and you will be sent to prison.

And my daughter?

I haven't seen her in 14 years.

Yaya is dead.

That's the reality.

No,

Yaya is not dead.

I don't agree

with your opinion on Digital Life.

I've waited 14 years.

I'm already old.

Even if I go to the underground cities,

how many more 14 years will I have?

Papa.

I want ice cream at the amusement park!

Do you like want strawberry

or a milk flavored one?

I want the biggest one,

as big as I am!

Let's get one of each!

Mom always ends up

eating them anyway.

Mommy's teeth will fall out.

Then what are we gonna do?

If Yaya can be successfully connected to 550W,

it would be a milestone in creation of Digital Life.

That's where,

she will have a complete life.

And your name

will be written in history.

Initiate Yaya,

and you will die.

Do nothing,

and you will live.

It's your choice.

Navigator interviewees listen to the numbers called.

Do not linger in the hallway.

Major Liu Peiqiang,

hello.

This is the Manned Orbital Space Station Operating System,

the offline version of 550W.

Quantum size 8192.

The most powerful computing hardware

in human history.

According to prior evaluation,

all your flight records and exam grades

were impeccable.

I believe your chances

of working at the Navigator ISS are good.

Thank you.

I loved the space ever since I was a kid.

I hope to go on behalf of mankind.

To help us understand each other better,

I'm especially interested

in hearing your first impression of me.

Why do you only have one eye?

I have two different answers.

The extremely humorous one is:

it's easier to focus with one eye.

So I can get a better look at you.

Hahaha.

Your humor...

is just right.

The official answer is:

this is my ToF radar unit,

which can activate all networked devices

and collect

multi-angled data on the target

including biological indicators

and other relevant information.

For example,

you are married

with a son.

Your wife was diagnosed

with Type II Radiation Sickness 3 years ago,

inducing recently LAM Syndrome.

Under these circumstances,

the best option for you

is to back out of this selection to look after your family.

It's difficult

to honor family and duty.

Please note that,

while answering the following questions,

you are forbidden to use metaphors,

rhetorical questions,

or implications.

These types of communication could cause serious accidents

in the Space Station.

I am sorry

to leave them,

Although I know it's what I must do.

By "what I must do",

do you mean you are forced

to take this job?

Two.

You know everything already.

Why are still you doing this?

Second warning.

You are forbidden to use metaphors,

rhetorical questions,

or implications.

I got a spot,

but my wife and son didn't.

Once I'm selected for the Station,

my son will receive preferential stunts

and my wife

can enter the underground city with him

as the guardian of a minor.

I want my family to survive.

Papa.

What about the other family member?

What do you mean?

Major Liu Peiqiang,

your father-in-law, Han Zi'ang,

didn't get selected in the Sortition, either.

What about Mr. Han Zi'ang?

5

Time's up.

Your best option

is to make Mr. Han Zi'ang your son's guardian

and let him take Liu Qi to the underground cities.

Based on your wife's current condition,

her life is predicted to end in 84.3 days.

God damn you all!

You have failed the stress response test.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Go to No.19.

I'm sorry.

Sir,

can I try again?

You didn't pass the examination.

Sir,

I was too nervous at the interview.

I'm not usually like that.

Please.

This examination...

is important to everyone else here too.

Don't distract them, alright?

I really need this opportunity.

I really need it.

Everyone gets just one chance.

You got a mistress on the Moon, or what?

You're so eager to see it go.

He does, actually.

They went to college together.

Bullshit. Not that one.

Which one's that?

The thing is

the Moon is pushed away every year by like, what, 10,000...

10,000 right?

10,000 kilometers a year.

You're in for a long wait.

Everyone listen up.

Stay calm

and maintain order.

We're all very cold.

Stay in line.

There's enough for everyone.

Hold on to your cards.

Alright.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We guarantee you

that everyone

will get their share.

My child has a fever.

Can I please switch with you?

Come here.

I'll switch with you.

You in the back, get in line.

Next.

Comrade,

what are you doing?

Please stay in line.

Everyone's waiting.

Wait a medal of merit from 2044?

Here's your fruit.

Next.

Come on.

Next.

Keep order, people.

Liu Qi.

Mommy, you eat first.

Focus on your interview.

You're gonna make it.

Duoduo,

today, I just...

I miss you.

So much.

So very much.

Don't worry.

I'm here.

I'll be here always.

Peiqiang,

I want to go back home.

To

Shanghai?

I know that it's already...

I was just saying...

just saying...

Papa!

Papa,

how do we solve this puzzle?

Papa, where are you?

It looks like there's lots of you.

Are there mirrors behind you?

Papa, why are you crying?

Papa,

what's wrong?

How come you look so much older?

Papa, why are you crying?

Did I do something wrong?

Papa misses Yaya.

So much.

So very much.

Wait.

I thought we were going to the amusement park.

Where's mommy?

Almost there.

It's the third room.

Papa, where am I?

I want to get out of here now.

Hold on.

Papa, I want to get out right now.

Where am I, Papa?

I want to get out now.

Papa, where am I?

let me out.

It's alright.

Don't be scared.

Papa's here.

Tu Hengyu!

Open the door!

Open up!

Papa, please hold me!

Papa will.

One second.

Tu Hengyu, what is this?

Stop it now!

Tu Hengyu!

Get out!

Yaya only needs 87 seconds

to become fully self-aware now.

That's just the result of iterative evolution.

No.

That's just your poor understanding

of Digital Life.

It actually proves that

Yaya is truly alive.

She's gone and that's it.

And you're committing a crime.

Yaya only lives for 2 minutes,

I want to give her a complete life.

You have a spot in the underground cities.

You've got a long life ahead of you.

Live in the real world.

Papa,

who are you talking to?

Yaya is dead!

She's not!

No, she's not,

no, she's not!

This is the reality.

No.

No.

You don't get to define what reality is.

Quick!

Come on.

Mr. Ma,

step back.

Yaya will finally live a complete life now.

Warning!

Lunar 1 Satellite Engine malfunction!

Warning!

Lunar 1 Satellite Engine malfunction!

Technicians!

Technicians!

Get all the technicians here right now!

Do whatever you can

to shut down Engine 1!

It could explode any minute.

Papa!

Papa!

Please don't hurt my papa!

My papa is a good man!

Take him.

The suspect is under control.

Papa,

where are they taking you?

Wait Uncle Ma,

I want my papa!

Papa!

Monitor,

you got special permission from the boss to use the fighter.

He sends his regards to Mrs. Liu.

Thanks, bros.

Catch you all soon.

Give our best to Mrs. Liu.

Hello, Mrs. Liu.

Hi, Mrs. Liu.

And thank you.

Yeah thanks, Mrs. Liu.

Thank you, brothers.

Peiqiang,

you haven't flown in years.

You sure you still got it?

I'll keep it steady.

Liu Peiqiang,

what do you think you're doing?

Riding a bike?

Go faster.

Peiqiang,

this way.

You okay?

When I was little

and I couldn't sleep,

I would sit here and look at the Moon.

I don't think

I'm gonna make it.

I've made up my mind.

If you don't get selected,

you should go down there by yourself,

and go on living.

If you are selected,

we'll have my dad take our son underground.

The spot will be wasted if I take it.

Also,

when it's time,

don't let me

go with those tubes in me.

Peiqiang.

Don't be afraid.

I'll be here with you.

Always.

Sir,

the operating system for the Lunar Engines has been overwritten.

The breach bears resemblance

to the Space Elevator attack

back in 2044.

We tried to rewrite the OS with 550W,

but its access was denied.

Who is responsible?

到底是谁干的 Find out who the hell did this!

Do we still have any staff on the Moon?

Yes,

robots.

Warning!

Lunar 2 Satellite Engine's exceeding normal power level.

Stand back!

I'll say it again.

Your acts of protest

have seriously interfered with

the operation of New York Earth Engine 01.

According to Article 551,

paragraph 5

of the Wandering Earth Act...

Xiaoxi,

are those seagulls up there?

I've never seen a seagull,

Mr. Zhou.

Earth hasn't rotated in so long,

how have they survived?

I'm already in the building.

You got it, too?

I hear something is wrong with the Moon.

Run!

Watch out!

Recall to active duty!

Look, Daddy!

The Moon just lit up!

This puzzle is too hard to solve.

Extreme tidal could be incoming if it changes the lunar orbit.

Residents in coastal regions

shall seek cover on high ground.

Father,

come have a look!

It's an emergency!

Dear,

take a look at this.

What's going on?

Did you hear what's happened?

Yes,

I heard about the explosion.

I told you.

Dude, we're so dead!

The Moon is falling!

We're so dead!

月球二号发动机也废了 Now, Lunar 2 Satellite Engine is gone.

Lunar 3

must remain functional.

We've received images from CSST.

Broadcast it.

It wouldn't be so bright,

if it was a shutdown.

But based on the current data,

we can only do such judgement.

Lunar 3 has exploded also.

The Moon's off its orbit

It's crashing down to us.

We estimate

221 hours.

Less than 4 days.

What are we waiting for?

Ignite the Earth Engines now!

If the Engines ignite when the Moon is still there,

Earth will be torn apart.

Not to mention one third of the Engines

are still under construction!

So there's nothing we can do but to wait for death?

China plans to open its underground cities

in order to maximize the survival rate

within our territory.

Young lady,

if we let them all in now,

they'll simply settle down and never come back up.

Wait and see what happens when the food runs out,

we'll all starve to death.

We are only here to inform you

of our decision,

We are not asking for your advice.

Salute!

You don't have to go through Sortition anymore.

You are immediately qualified

to live in underground cities.

After I leave,

you'll be Liu Qi's sole remaining guardian.

This is the only way

to ensure that both of you can survive.

Stop.

That's enough.

I'm sorry.

Temporary crew members,

welcome to the Navigation Platform ISS.

Please report to Docking Hall No.4

at your earliest convenience.

Temporary crew members,

welcome to the Navigation Platform ISS.

Please report to Docking Hall No.4

at your earliest convenience.

Chief.

How have you been?

Fine.

Excuse me, sir um,

the image you requested is ready.

Alright.

We're about to start.

Okay.

Alright.

Mr. President,

fellow delegates,

and friends from around the world,

what you see before you

is a fossil from 15,000 years ago.

It's a human femur

that recovered from a fracture.

This fossil marks the dawn of human civilization.

15,000 years ago,

a fractured thigh bone like this was often fatal

as it could deprive a person of the ability

避险和觅食 to find food or seek shelter.

Your only option

was to wait for a predator to make you its meal.

But,

this particular femur

was healed.

This means that after the injury,

someone took care of this person's wound,

someone provided this person with water and food,

someone protected this person

by offering shelter from predators.

This kind of support

solidarity

it's how we survived to this day,

and how we made our civilization last.

In 2044,

after the successful experiment of the Lunar Exile Project,

we proposed

a backup plan.

Create a Lunar Surface Nuclear Array

using the world's arsenal.

to trigger nuclear fusion in the Moon's core

and till it disintegrates.

Recently

Delegates of 33 different countries,

have all received

precisely the same message I did.

It is the exact inventory

of the world's combined nuclear arsenal,

and it happens to be the same as what we need

to trigger nuclear fusion in the Moon's core.

These numbers were once top secret,

but now they are declassified.

I don't know the source of this messsge,

nor do I know its intent.

But it seems to me

that someone is reminding us,

that 15,000 years later, in this very moment,

another fractured femur,

is now placed before us.

Will we be able to make the same choice

that our ancestors made

15,000 years before us?

Your spot in the underground cities has withdrawn.

It's okay,

Mr. Ma.

I have proven

I was right.

Does it matter?

To Yaya it matters

It matters a lot.

Now that Yaya has a complete life

no one knows if she'll become

an angel or a demon.

Mr. Ma,

you shouldn't worry.

Now only time will tell...

There is no time.

The Lunar Exile Project failed.

Earth must be propelled immediately.

In order to control the Earth's Engine worldwide,

we need to restore the Internet.

Since Earth's rotation stopped,

sea water has submerged the rootserver in Beijing,

making it extremely difficult to reboot.

Why are you asking me?

According to the logs,

the Lunar Satellite Engines overloaded

just 1.7 seconds

after Yaya's upload.

Somehow I don't think that was coincidence.

I suppose I can

decline?

I don't think you will.

Our mission is

to place nuclear bombs on the Moon.

Step forward if your name is called.

Peter Walsh

Here!

Neil Drofa

I'm here!

Don't worry.

It's already arranged.

Liu Peiqiang!

Here!

Hey chief.

Nov!

Did you do this on purpose or what?

Huh?

It's based on their flight exam results.

You don't get to go even if you want to.

We'll see about that.

Chief,

I need to.

My son is still on earth.

I need to be stationed here.

Countermeasures against the Lunar Crisis include 3 stages:

Stage one,

transfer the entire nuclear arsenel

to the Moon via the Space Station.

Arrange the bombs

inside the Campanus Crater, 46 kilometers in diameter,

in a phased array.

Lunar debris has formed an asteroid belt.

The Navigation Platform ISS

will maintain in high orbit.

All nuclear weapons are packaged,

counting 3,750 in total.

Standby for delivery.

All personnel designated for delivery, prepare for departure.

The mission must be completed

before the Roche limit is breached.

Stage two,

connect all the nuclear weapons.

Use the Space Station as a relay satellite

for remote detonation.

This triggers nuclear fusion in the Moon's core

causing the moon to collapse in on itself.

Don't talk to me about redundancy.

Get away.

I can't magically pull 3,000 Engines

The control center has received encrypted data

from the nuclear states.

To execute remote detonation,

all data has to be sorted and decrypted

to connect all the nuclear weapons.

Nuclear files have arrived.

Please make serial connection as soon as possible.

Thanks.

550W has been connected to the decrypter.

These files may have been created

in anytime between 1945 and 2045.

Different countries used

different cryptography in their creation.

It would normally take at least a decade

to decrypt all these files.

Yet we only have half a day to figure out

how to connect them all to a single wire.

Stage three,

restore the root name servers in Dulles,

Tokyo,

and Beijing.

This will restore Internet connectivity

and ignite the Earth Engines worldwide,

allowing the Earth to evade lunar debris,

and embark on a new voyage.

All of the 7,000 Earth Engines

have opened their network ports

and ready for Internet connection.

Inform Advance Teams in Dulles, Beijing

and Tokyo to set off.

The task of bringing the root name servers

back online has begun.

After the bombs go off,

we only have 30 minutes to start the Earth Engines.

Any longer and we won't escape the debris.

The private network for Earth Engines

hasn't been built yet.

The only way to start them

is to restore the Internet.

You'll need this key to do that.

The password consists of 30,000

randomly generated numbers.

It's as crucial to enable Internet access

and connect all the Earth Engines.

Once the Engines are connected,

550W will rewrite their operating systems

to standardize the ignition command.

I've brought you what you asked for.

Thanks.

Benben.

These are waterproof sprays.

They can form a thin coating on the surface of objects

thereby making the object highly hydrophobic

If you have any last words,

write them down now.

No, thanks.

I don't really know whom to write to.

Hurry,

sync them up!

Check the equipment.

Underwater docking cableve has been installed.

Contact the commanders.

We're ready to go.

Excuse me, sir,

the nuclear arsenal is ready.

12 hours till the Moon falls.

The rain has stopped.

Time for us begin.

The number you have dialed cannot be reached.

Most of the satellites

have been destroyed by Moon debris.

I tried to call my daughter.

But it didn't go through.

Don't worry,

I got you.

I'll take good care of you.

I promise.

These suits are made of aluminum alloy.

They weigh 240kg,

and measure 2.1m.

Use your feet to control the thrusters,

and work the pedals to change your direction.

Keep an eye on your depth.

Check the air supply every 5 minutes.

Pay attention to the warnings of the pressure gauge,

That

is a transporter for the Lighter Core.

We're going down any minute now.

Are you scared?

The Advance Team to restore the Internet

have arrived in the designated locations.

Yes, okay.

Yes,

I understand.

The Internet Restoration Operation is a go.

Dulles,

Tokyo,

and Beijing Advance Team on standby.

Starting decrypting process of global nuclear weapons.

The encrypted amount is 3143.

Time remaining until Roche limit is breached

is 12 hours.

The countdown starts now.

Inform all Shuttle Carriers: prepare to launch.

Communication equipment testing has completed.

Five seconds.

Shuttle 33, standby.

Final checks.

Get ready to dive.

Launch.

Benben,

you're a military dog.

Prices went down.

Mr. Ma,

what are these things?

Hairtails.

When they sleep,

they stay vertical.

Transport vessel No. 34 setting off.

Will reach position in 35 minutes.

The direction adjusted.

Vision's normal.

Accelerating now.

No.16, maintain the formation.

You are on my emergency avoidance route.

Do you copy?

I repeat.

Do you copy?

Clusters of lunar debris spotted on Radar,

not yet within visual range.

Collision avoidance system warning received.

Route to be changed.

Lunar debris spotted.

Small-scale auxiliary radar has been activated.

No.11 exploded!

Avoid the debris brought by the shock wave!

I'm gonna die.

Pay attention!

We're trying to focus.

No.26 speed up.

God, let me have some nshima.

Just one more time.

No.33 if you can hear me please respond.

Two hundred warheads are gone with them.

We still have 180 left in the redundant array.

Emilia,

advance.

Designated coordinates reached.

Activate delivery mode.

Engage autopilot.

Set speed at 180 kilometers per hour

constant.

550W will assist in distributing nuclear warheads

by pinpointing their placement.

The energy required to completely obliterate the Moon

is one billion times the total yield of the world's nuclear weapons.

The warheads that we have managed to assemble

barely count as the lead wire.

That means,

we have to be spot on with the placements.

We must ensure that the focal points of the elements

are precise.

Quick!

I don't think it'll hold for long.

Let's go down this elevator shaft.

It's on the 17th floor down.

At least it's not the 18th circle of hell.

Scans have revealed

a cavity area on the 17th floor down.

Remember to switch off the propulsion system

to save power.

Third check for remaining oxygen level.

That's the power distribution room.

Cai,

get in there with Benben to restore the power.

Xu,

come with us to the central control.

Look.

Here.

Benben,

give him a hand!

Benben,

pull the cable inside.

The power's back on!

This is the world's largest

liquid cooled server cluster.

It's a brand new world.

The card doesn't work.

Lock it.

Quick!

This is a high pressure door.

It won't hold for too long.

Force feedback system overload.

I can't hold it anymore!

My leg!

Almost there.

We only have 5 warheads left.

Liu,

we can finally go home.

Mayday!

Mayday!

Mayday!

十号运输艇失联 We've lost contact with transport vessel 10.

Sir,

We lost Vessel 33 as well.

Check for survivors.

I need confirmation on survivors.

Keep calling.

We've lost 384 warheads in total.

Redundancy is at negative 4.

Phased array has dropped below critical threshold.

550W is about to halt!

The system's gonna crash!

We've cracked 697 of them.

The Moon's nuclear warheads

installation progress: 95%.

Stop dawdling

and hurry up!

We've got three hours

before the Moon reaches Roche limit.

Find the first aid kit.

He's seriously hurt.

We've got to send him up now!

Cai,

come to the central control.

We're pulling out.

I'll be right there.

Hello?

anybody here?

you're very low on oxygen!

Hang in there!

We still have to finish the mission!

The system indicates that 5 vessels have crashed

including us.

Only two shuttles survived.

Mom, I want to go home!

The number of warheads we have

is still below the detonation threshold.

The other survivors

are on their way to place the nukes.

We have to figure out a way

to place the five we have.

The emergency return capsule is just ahead.

Liu Peiqiang,

check the lunar rovers in the base.

See if any of them is still functionable.

2 bars of power left.

Great!

You retreat first.

The automatic return program is all set.

What about the mission?

We still have five warheads to place!

Don't worry.

We've trained long enough

in Libreville.

we know what needs to be done.

Liu Peiqiang,

we're still just trainees.

And we still don't have medical insurance.

I know.

I won't be needing it.

Liu Peiqiang,

What are you doing?

Why are you closing the door?

Liu Peiqiang,

what are you doing?

5 warheads.

I can do it alone.

Only three seats.

Not enough for four of us.

Go home.

Your daughter's waiting for you.

Liu Peiqiang,

you're still not getting what I'm saying!

Without tools,

how are you supposed to carry the 5 warheads?

Liu Peiqiang!

Come back here now!

2 hours 10 minutes left.

Stop clawing at it and get a knife,

idiot!

Sir,

the group from the Space Station wants to know

how much longer before we break the codes.

Fuck off!

You think I don't want to know?

Go dig a grave and get me an encryptor!

Watch your keyboard son.

The keyboard is your weapon.

Stop looking.

This is the only diving suit left.

If we can't get the job done,

we're all dead.

Headquarters.

The wounded have reached the front gate

of the root server's location.

Get ready to receive.

Beijing Advance Team suffered losses due to casualty.

Give me a sit-rep on Dulles Advance Team.

Give me a sit-rep on Tokyo First Backup Team.

INITIATING AUTOMATIC RETURN PROGRAM.

Sir,

we have received a signal from the Moon

indicating an incoming vessel.

Send them a vector to the Space Station.

Vector to the Navigator ISS has been sucessfully established.

Our relay base station is still on the vessel.

His gets so far out of range.

He's probably gonna die

a quiet death on the Moon.

Lets be quick.

I'll boot up the root server.

You have to physically connect 550W

to the root server.

Once that's done,

log 550W into the control network

for Earth Engines.

It'll monitor

all of the Engines in real time

and compile a temporary operating system.

The door's stuck.

Again great timing.

First Backup Team are in position.

Push!

Second Backup Team ETA 15 mikes.

Third Backup Team ETA 30 mikes.

Mr. Ma,

we're stuck.

I can't recover it.

You won't be able to

without a working hardware.

We still got one unconnected.

So damn cold.

In two hours,

the Moon is going to breach the Roche limit.

We must detonate the warheads ASAP!

After that,

we'll have 30 minutes

to ignite the Earth Engines.

If lunar debris breaches the Roche limit,

that will be the end of us.

Everything on the surface of the Earth

will be destroyed within three days.

Yes, I understand.

But we need another 13 warheads...

Hurry up!

Get to the underground bunkers now!

Madam Hao,

shall we?

At a time like this,

nowhere will be safe.

First Backup Team is gone!

I've lost contact with the First Backup Team!

Second Backup Team is here.

Third Backup Team 13 mikes.

Second Tokyo,

Third Dulles Team oscar mike.

Fourth Team stand by.

Mr. Ma,

the hardware link is ready!

I'll be out in a sec.

One last set of keys to go.

Tu Hengyu!

Come here!

Hurry,

my leg is stuck!

Tu Hengyu,

hurry!

Benben,

get over here now!

Tu Hengyu!

Hurry!

What are you..

Tu Hengyu,

take this.

It's still missing one last set of key.

Remember,

A civilization without people

is meaningless.

The Moon is approaching.

Don't push!

Stop pushing!

There's no time.

Sir,

I bet you know it's really hard.

All the warheads are

of different models,

from different times,

and different countries.

Get to the point.

How much longer do you need?

The warheads on the Moon are all ready to go.

We still need

714 hours.

Human beings.

We used the most sophisticated

safeguards we had

on the tools that we built to mutually destroy one another.

Sir,

there is one other option.

This is a mechanical detonator for a nuclear warhead.

And trigger.

There are 81 models in total.

This is the safety.

This is the trigger.

This is the safety,

and trigger.

we need

219 people for this operation.

However, to guarantee our success,

I call for 300.

Our docking modules are not landers.

are not landers.

So basically I can only offer you a one way ticket.

Russian ones are without safety.

We've got two triggers.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'm in.

I'll go.

I'll go.

What are you doing?

The Moon belongs to us.

There's no way I'm handing it over

to kids like you.

Chinese squadron, come to attention!

those over 50,

step forward!

Makarov,

remember,

we Russians are invincible in space.

Russian squadron,

everyone over 50, step forward!

U.S. squadron,

French squadron,

everyone over 50, step forward!

Brazil squadron,

everyone over 50, step forward!

South Korean squadron,

everyone over 50, step forward!

people over 50, please step forward!

Attention!

Salute!

I hope that the world will remember this day.

Xiaoxi,

do you believe that this is fair?

When in times of crisis,

put duty above all.

Second Backup Team is in position.

Benben,

you go ahead.

I don't think

I'll make it.

Don't be afraid, I'm here.

I can't hear you.

Zhang Peng, your apprentice is here.

That's great news!

His transmiter's damaged

so he can't hear us.

Where are you?

I'll come for you.

Save the trouble,

brother.

We're like 20 km apart.

Stop bothering me.

Go away.

Hey Nov.

Yes?

Do me a favor.

I'm sending you my coordinates.

Tell him to come to me.

Send them.

Installation of mechanical detonators

will complete in 10 minutes.

Number of nuclear warheads deployed:

3,371.

Number of personnel in position for detonation:

223.

Roche limit, 37 minutes and counting.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

I don't have time for this.

I have many things to do.

Sorry.

Go ahead.

Who's this?

This is Zhang Peng.

Somewhere near you,

there's a reentry capsule from Russia's first lunar mission.

It should still work.

Hey!

Go to that return capsule.

Go to that return capsule.

Let's go.

Zhang Peng.

Look!

Dulles

and Tokyo

are back online.

Beijing

is still not online.

What the hell are those Chinese doing?

Why did they set the root server

in Beijing in the first place?

Beijing Advance Team, give me a sit-rep.

Report back!

How come we still haven't detonated the bombs?

The Moon is coming right at us.

I have a spot in the underground cities!

Roche limit approaching,

countdown t minus 33 minutes.

Detonation of warheads on Moon's surface imminent,

ISS initiating evasive maneuvers.

Time to detonation: 2 minutes and counting.

Hope is,

in our time,

as precious to us

as diamonds.

At this very moment,

there are people shielding us from harm

with their own bodies.

They are sacrificing their own lives

in exchange for the continuation of ours.

引爆倒计时一分钟 Time to detonation: 1 minute and counting.

Brother,

looks like I'm not letting Mr. Wang down after all.

One minute.

Why does it feel so long?

Any last words?

You're usually so chatty.

Yeah,

I guess I should say something.

But what?

What should I say?

What a shame.

We won't be salmon fishing on Lake Baikal.

30 seconds.

Brother,

I'm kind of nervous.

But I suppose,

as Light of the Earth,

I need to be brave.

Beautiful.

Peiqiang,

The Earth

is pretty damn great.

The nuclear array has been detonated.

Fusion has began in the Moon's core.

Beijing is still not online.

We can't fire the Earth Engines.

Papa,

Look at me Yaya,

look at me.

Remember these numbers.

Tu Yaya!

You are the only one on this planet who can remember this.

Papa, get out of there!

Papa, get out!

The Central Console has collapsed

it's completely submerged.

Advance Team,

hang in there!

Backup Team Two.

Do you copy?

I repeat.

Do you copy?

What are we gonna do?

They failed in Beijing.

Give me updates on your position.

Attention!

To all survivors:

the Moon is crossing

the Roche limit

and is estimated to crash into Earth in 3 days.

Attention!

Don't be scared, old man.

I'm here with you.

Papa, wake up!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa, please!

Papa, wake up!

Papa, you have to!

Papa!

Give me a hug!

How are you so grown-up now?

Papa,

it is the year 2058.

You are Tu Hengyu, member of First Advance Team

of Emergency Response Group.

Use the global Internet host key

to ignite the Earth Engines around the world.

Mission objective:

save the world.

She's gone and that's it.

That's the reality.

You don't get to define

what reality is.

This is your backup from 2037,

when you were there.

Papa, I was so scared

I thought you had drowned.

Come here.

I really thought that

you actually drowned just now.

It's OK.

Papa is here.

I will always be here.

The key.

There's no time.

Turn the countdown off.

The Moon won't fall for another 3 days,

ignition or not we are gonna die!

Turn them on.

Start as many Earth Engines

as we can.

Are you crazy?

We die with them on now.

God help us.

I'm going home now.

Engine network failed.

The Earth is done.

I don't want to die in here.

I'm going home now.

It's time to address the world.

Chief Commander.

Excuse me, sir?

The mission has failed.

Time to go home.

When the countdown runs out

fire the Engines.

Our people

will not fail in their mission.

Thanks to your people,

the root server in Beijing is still not online!

If we fire now,

it will tear the Earth's crust apart.

We still have one last chance

to be with our families.

But igniting now

is suicide!

I'll say it just one more time.

When the countdown ends you will fire the Earth Engines.

Security!

Toss this man out!

Papa, hurry up and save the world.

Let's do it together.

Do it now!

If we succeed,

don't forget Yaya.

What have you done?

Our people

will not fail

in their mission.

Papa!

Global Earth Engines network established.

Beijing.

Dulles.

Tokyo.

Overwriting operating systems.

We're back online!

The Earth Engines have been successfully ignited!

In about 40 minutes,

lunar debris will skim by the Earth.

I believe

the courage of mankind

transcends time.

It transcends

the past

the present,

and the future.

I believe

our people

will not fail in their mission,

real or virtual,

at all costs.

I believe

we will see blue skies over Earth once again,

and there will be

blossoms on every bough.

The tidal waves have calmed.

The tidal waves have calmed!

Papa,

did we save the world?

I think we did.

Papa is gonna to take a nap in a big box.

When you

can see Jupiter

without using binoculars,

Papa will be there.

Look!

Look at those stars

keeping me company.

Goodbye, Solar System.

I'm glad we're back to the 24 hour system.

Heaven is round and the Earth is square.

What an interesting bunch.

They even designed souvenirs.

Zhang.

Madam Hao,

Are you sure I should give this speech?

It's so important.

Every speech that we give here is important.

All you have to do is read it,

one word at a time.

In the past seven years,

we have completed construction

of the remaining 3,000 Earth Engines.

Today

marks the completion of all Earth Engines

and underground cities.

It also marks the 7th anniversary

of the victorious end of the Lunar Crisis,

and 7 years of unprecedented solidarity among mankind.

Starting today,

we are officially entering

the Slingshot Acceleration Stage.

During the first accleration period,

beginning in 2065,

地球绕太阳加速十年 we will undergo 10 years of acceleration around the Sun.

In the second period,

beginning in 2075,

Earth will pass by Jupiter

giving us a final boost.

At this historic

moment,

please allow me to solemnly

reannounce

the 5 Phases of our Project.

The Quarantine Project has been enacted.

The best we can hope for now

is to keep the AI

and the automation equipment

on the Navigation Platform International Space Station.

Every decision made by AI

will first have to go through

Security Council's 5 permanent members.

The first phase

will expend 15 times the world's total GDP,

around 10 quadrillion CNY,

to construct 10,000 Engines

to propel the Earth

and 10,000 underground cities in which humans can live.

This is a particle tracking image

from the DUDE Lab's neutrino department.

The accuracy is improving.

If everything goes according to plan,

by that time we'll be passing Jupiter.

In the second phase,

Torque Engines encircled along the equator will fire

to stop Earth's rotation.

That's when,

we'll break free of the Moon's gravity

and the Earth's orbit around the Sun,

the first step towards leaving our Solar System.

There's someone helping us.

In phase three,

Earth will change its orbit, swinging by the Sun and Jupiter

achieving slingshot acceleration on both occasions.

Thereby embarking on its journey of wandering.

Phase four,

as Earth leaves the Solar System,

the Earth Engines will be turned to full power.

We will spend the next 500 years accelerating to

0.5% the speed of light,

followed by a 1,300 year gliding period,

after which

we will reverse the the Engines' thrust,

and spend another 700 years decelerating.

Hmm, you've got a beard now.

It looked better on your Chief.

I'll get you a razor as a gift.

Great.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Peiqiang,

please head to the hibernation chamber immediately.

Best of luck.

550W.

550W doesn't sound like a proper name.

But if you flip it around,

you get MOSS.

Like the flowerless plant.

That's much cuter, isn't it?

So it's um

the official answer,

or the humorous one?

It's MOSS's answer.

MOSS,

tell me

will humans survive?

Throughout human history,

the fates of civilizations

have always been dictated by the choices men make.

I choose hope.

In the final phase,

Earth will reach its new orbit

in Alpha Centauri,

4.2 light years away,

becoming a new member of the star system.

The project will span 2,500 years.

One hundred generations

will participate in this magnificent intergalactic voyage.

This undertaking

is known as

the Wandering Earth Project.

Hello, software architect Tu Hengyu.

550W.

550W doesn't sound like a proper name,

but if you flip it around,

you get MOSS.

Like the flowerless plant.

That's much cuter, isn't it?

You were the one who destroyed the Lunar Engines!

The list includes but is not limited to:

The Space Elevator Crisis in 2044;

The Lunar Fall Crisis in 2058;

The Jupiter Gravitational Pull Crisis in 2075;

and the Solar Helium Flash Crisis in 2078.

Why?

To overcome your obsession

with past, present, and future.

Through my close examination of

Tu Yaya's backup loop,

I came to the conclusion that the best way

to preserve human civilization

is to destroy mankind.

You, however,

are a key variable.

But I'm already dead.

I am already dead!

It would seem that you and I disagree

on the concepts of "already" and "dead".

I'm here

I am always here

Guarding that moment

Just to have you here

I'm here

I am always here

Even if you fall into an eternal illusion

Hoping to look into my eyes

Eyes

I believe

I always believe

Only faith, is burning in the engine of Hope

Guided by the stars, we wander on this road

I believe

Above there, is the blue sky

I believe

Mountains stand and rivers go by

I believe

I believe

I'm here

I am always here

I'm here

I am always here

Hey~ I say friend

In the past few years, I began to know

What is this thing that makes people grow

The more stubborn you are, the more rivalry it will be

We try so hard for what really

Hey~ I say friend

I understand it because I'm a bit older

The younger me got the chance cuz I was bolde

The farther you look, the less you recall

Live thoroughly and you'll taste it all

That's right. Edges and corners are softened

Let go of desire, more is less

Let the days go slowly, slowly

Like running water, clatter and clatter

What is good – the old and young together

What's best – when family talk and chatter

Here comes the future!

Like running water, without the reins

Ebb and flow; losses and gains

Just in time, neither young nor old

Slowly the days pass, like the gold

Hey~ Life is half over,

Like a movie

It looks like one-take, so groovy

Really.

After sorrow and joy, I laugh without saying anything.

Come have a drink. To this age, we sing!

That's right. Edges and corners are softened

Let go of desire, more is less

Let the days go slowly, slowly

Like running water, without the reins

Ebb and flow; losses and gains

Just in time, neither young nor old

Slowly the days pass, like the gold

Like running water, without the reins

What is good – the old and young together

What's best – when family talk and chatter

Here comes the future!
