Navigator International Space Station. A massive, ring-shaped space station flying in front of Earth.
Main control room.
"A surge in Jupiter's gravity has been detected. Earth's orbit has shifted by 9.23 degrees due to Jupiter's gravitational pull, increasing the probability of a collision. Data is being collected, analyzed, and uploaded to the United Government. Disaster warning procedures are being activated." A hollow, synthesized electronic voice announced. An image displayed on a screen showed a simulation of Earth's predicted orbit, continuously moving closer to Jupiter under its gravitational influence. The predicted orbit was also constantly changing.
Unfortunately, no one is currently in the main control room on the Navigator Space Station. Such a crucial matter is unknown to anyone on the station except for being uploaded to the joint government via the intelligent system. Furthermore, the Navigator Space Station's intelligent system has not informed any of the spacefaring experts on board about this important event.

"It really is a world without day and night! The people here have been living like this for over a decade, and they'll continue to live like this for the next thousand years." On the roof of the transport truck, Wang Han, having just woken up, stretched and complained. Because the Earth is moving forward and no longer rotates, day and night naturally don't change.
Shaking himself off a nap, Wang Han sat cross-legged on the roof of the car, recalling memories of The Wandering Earth. He muttered to himself, "I remember the Wandering Earth project was divided into five steps. The first step was called the Era of Earth's Braking. That is, to stop Earth's rotation. First, ten thousand steering engines had to be built on Earth to force it to stop rotating. Since stopping rotation would cause various disasters to spread on Earth, many underground cities had to be built to prevent tsunamis, earthquakes, and extreme cold, guiding the Earth's inhabitants to take refuge underground. At the same time, this era also required the establishment of a strong united government to unite the people of the world and take the Earth on a journey together."
"The second step is to activate the Earth Engine to generate enough thrust to propel the Earth out of the solar system."
"The third step is that Earth has already escaped the solar system. Earth will then spend five hundred years accelerating in outer space to reach 0.5% of the speed of light, speeding towards Proxima Centauri. During this process, facing the complex galaxies in space, it is very likely to collide with space debris, encounter black holes, or encounter other unexpected difficulties that humanity may never have foreseen. The difficulties that humanity will encounter in this step are unpredictable."
"The fourth step is that when we are about to reach our destination, Proxima Centauri, Earth needs to change the direction of its engines, slow down in time, and resume its rotation. We need to find Earth's orbital path to prepare for merging with the target star."
"The final step is for Earth to successfully reach Proxima Centauri. Earth will then revolve around this star just as it revolves around the Sun in our solar system. Relying on preserved plant seeds and animal DNA, Earth will return to normal, human civilization will be rebuilt, and human life will return to normal. The Wandering Earth project will be a success. (However, what they consider normal might just be living underground.)"
"In the movie, Earth is almost destroyed when it collides with Jupiter due to Jupiter's gravity while leaving the solar system. In the movie, if the Earth wandering plan is abandoned, the 'Fire Seed Project' will be launched. This is also part of the plan. It's just that humanity will abandon Earth, taking the space station that humans have spent 30 years building, thousands of elite astronauts, all of humanity's historical data, and the genes of life on Earth to find a new home for Earth."
After recalling his memories of The Wandering Earth, Wang Han couldn't help but sigh, "It was indeed a very grand plan. It required the combined efforts of people all over the world and would take at least a thousand years. Everyone contributed their strength, and everyone continued their race. Moreover, wandering in the universe is extremely dangerous. Even I would suffer greatly if I were to wander in the unknown universe, let alone with such a huge Earth. The Earth would be moved entirely by immature external forces, and it's not as sturdy as a spaceship. The level of danger was practically gambling on whether Earth would have the luck of a god!"
"However, Earth is still fragile. I need to be careful when I'm dealing with Jupiter. I don't want to destroy Earth before I've even dealt with Jupiter. I need to think this through carefully." Wang Han muttered to himself, rubbing his head as he began to think. "Not only do I need to save Earth at the right moment, but I also need to showcase my strength at just the right time to achieve the best effect I want. Speaking of which, Earth's mecha technology is pretty good. Maybe I should get them to develop the Blast Mecha for me. It would be nice to fly the Blast Mecha when I go to a weak and vulnerable world. Life is boring; I need to find more fun to have."
As Wang Han pondered, his thoughts drifted off course, without him even realizing it.
Inside the truck's cab, Han Duoduo and Liu Qi had no idea that a person with a distorted mind had been following them all the way from the roof of their vehicle.
"The supply station is fifty kilometers ahead. Once you get there, you can go back on your own and catch the last train. Don't worry the old man."
"Come on, your dad's going to drag you back home as soon as he gets back," Han Duoduo said, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
"Don't you even know who I am?"
"I'm a genius, who can catch me?" Liu Qi said confidently.
"Whoosh..." To their surprise, sirens began to sound from not far ahead, accompanied by flashing blue and red lights. Several transport trucks were parked on the ice field, and a black police car had its siren blaring.
