The Wandering Earth II (2023) Movie Script
1
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 missed the good old days.
This street
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.
About this thick.
500,000 mosquitoes in one pie.
Delicious.
Can't even have mosquitoes anymore.
We're here.
This is where they are.
Bro,
Sis,
I brought Peigiang to see you.
Your kid has made you proud.
He passed the examination
for China Reserve Astronauts,
and they're sending him
to the Moon.
He's doing training here.
Rest assured.
I'll take care of him.
Chief,
is there really a Solar Crisis?
You're going to be blind.
There must be one.
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?
Gently.
Do you think
you're ready for the Moon?
You'll spend
more than ten years up there,
maybe twenty.
Great.
Then our family will be
reunited up there.
In any case,
Earth isn't that great.
Being alive is pretty great.
Silly kid.
Just remember
to hang in there.
Steady!
Steady!
See that?
That's the first test engine of
The Moving Mountain Project.
It will be completed...
in less than six months.
Six months?
Can it be done?
You know what?
We can even
build these engines on the Moon.
No humans needed,
all built by machines.
Non-stop, fast.
As long as no one tries to sabotage
the construction,
six months should be enough.
The Sun
is rapidly degenerating,
and expanding.
In 100 years,
the Sun will completely
engulf Earth.
In 300 years,
the Solar System will no longer exist.
To cope with the Solar Crisis
that will arise in 100 years,
Dozens of plans for dealing with
the Crisis were proposed.
To ensure the survival of more 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 exile the Moon,
enabling Earth to break away from
the Moon's gravity
to start its journey.
However,
as the project progressed,
the difficulty and high cost of its
implementation
have intensified the impact on the
interests of all parties around the world.
Doubts,
opposition,
and conflicts,
escalate day by day.
Their equipment is getting more advanced.
There must be state-level armed
forces behind it...
The solution to the Crisis
has become a crisis itself.
The feasibility verification of
the Moving Mountain Project
is now a matter of utmost urgency.
The Headquarter was attacked.
Be careful in Philadelphia.
Okay.
Just a minute.
Do we know the number of attackers?
127 people have been arrested
from 53 countries.
Mike,
I don't think that's a good idea.
The hour before dawn
is the darkest.
We advise
pushing the project forward,
withstanding all distractions
and disruptions.
Complete the verification as
soon as possible.
Don't forget,
we only have a 13-month window.
The Sun
won't wait.
Qiang.
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 roam the space on
behalf of mankind.
Fire!
Han Duoduo.
Is Earth a great place or what?
This thing 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.
I'm Liu Peiqiang.
As the Space Elevator goes up...
...you'll be under 9 Gs of gravity force.
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.
Breathe.
Mind the frequency.
Scream your lungs out,
Kids.
You will pass out in ten seconds.
The 90,000-kilometer Space Elevator,
the tallest architecture in human history,
this is where your journey to
the Moon begins.
It is now your job
to guard the future of mankind.
They three won't wake up any time soon.
In the following month of training,
they won't get many chances of
sleeping here.
Breathe through the chest.
Semi-closed slow breathing, twice as slow.
Activate the electromagnetic gun.
Lock on the target.
If your hit rate is less than 70%,
get lost immediately.
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.
Roaming the space isn't really important.
Giving flowers to someone you like is.
That's so corny.
Another 15 degrees,
and it's perfect.
Hi.
Flowers.
Whom is it for?
Want me to deliver it for you?
It's for...you know whom.
Go.
Get lost.
Or
Get lost.
I can deliver it
when you make up your mind?
Anyways,
I'm here.
Always.
Hey,
you.
Seen Liu Peiqiang?
Liu Peiqiang.
Nope.
Nov!
Simultaneous interpretation online now.
You're dropping off new cadets, too?
Don't bring shame to our school.
You bastard,
call me by my full name.
It's been years.
We both lost weight.
You lost a bit too much.
What's going on?
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.
That's what you get for being
Light of the Earth.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Mr. Wang is against me.
They're really rushing us.
Are we getting paid for overtime?
No anti-G suits.
Come!
Hurry!
This way.
What's going on here?
Don't mess with it.
Oh, shit.
Jeff,
is communication back up?
Same name.
Are they reserve astronauts, too?
Which year are they?
What is this?
Never saw them before.
Hey,
my foot is stuck!
Air raid!
Peigiang!
Peigiang!
Liu Peiqiang!
I quit so you can't fire me.
Give it to her.
Give her the name tag.
How did they get in?
Crack the door first.
Calling control tower!
Sorry about this.
Communications are off.
Communications are off.
Liu Peiqiang!
You fool,
let me out.
Let me out!
I can't hear you!
Liu Peiqiang.
You can't win.
We're still trainees.
We don't have medical insurance.
My earpiece is broken.
I don't understand,
but I get you.
Even if it's just me left,
I'll guard the Space Elevator
with my life.
It seems you don't understand.
What I mean is
we should've never opened this door.
Air Defense Mode 1.
Roger that.
Turn off the safety.
Fox one.
Target locking failure.
Target locking failure.
Allies everywhere.
It's all allies on the radar.
Shut it.
I'm targeted.
Can't shake them off!
Nov,
shake them off!
Working on it!
Of everyone up here,
why are they only chasing me?
Too many!
Too damn many!
Help!
Mom, I want to go home!
What do I do?
The drones' turbojet engines
won't last long
You have more fuel.
Wear them out!
And then what?
Kovochur.
Damn it.
Ural
I was the top fighter in school
for a reason.
Cut the swagger.
Backup is here.
I shook them off!
Daddy's back.
Use your visual!
Give them hell!
Missiles!
What the hell is that?
These things are coming
for the Space Elevator.
Stop talking.
Use the tactic Mr. Wang taught us.
You go.
I'll cover you.
Fox two.
Left wing damaged!
They're going to blow up all
the elevator cabins!
Nov,
we can't catch them!
It's okay.
I'm faster than you.
Send backup!
Higher.
Stronger.
Let go.
You let go first.
Awesome!
Hoorah!
My finger.
Duoduo!
Liu Peiqiang!
The Space Elevator has to be destroyed.
Duoduo, go now!
Digital life is the only
way out!
In another world,
You have ruined...
we are
immortal!
...my flowers!
I'm gonna kill you [Shanghai dialect].
Stand up [Shanghai dialect]!
Stand up!
What are you looking at?
Give me the flowers.
Duoduo,
flower.
Get lost.
Got it.
What's going on?
Look at the sky! Its on fire!
The Space Station has fallen.
I repeat,
the Space Station has fallen.
Herbert,
are you ok?
Nurse.
The space agency replied,
we have seven months.
Seven months.
Xiaoxi.
Mr. Zhou.
A speech of such importance,
you want me to deliver it?
Every speech here is important.
Just read it,
word by word.
Under time pressure,
the UEG held an emergency conference
to discuss relaunching
the Digital Life Project.
We will resolutely continue
to advance the existing plan.
In seven months,
we commit to complete the feasibility test
of the Moving Mountain Project.
What is going on?
What is happening?
Quick.
Our electricity system has been hacked.
We call on all nations to manage
their disputes.
Stop preparing for war.
Put more energy
into Solar Crisis initiatives.
Let me show you something.
Right there.
Back in 1990,
taken by your Voyager 1,
it's a picture of Earth.
This little white dot
means everything to us.
The Moving Mountain Project
is to build 10,000 engines
on this little white dot
and take it
to its new home 2,500 years ahead.
Mike,
Do you believe in that?
I believe.
So will my children.
And their children, too.
By that time,
I believe the reunion under the blue sky,
when the blossoms
hang from every bough.
Now,
what do you think you should do?
Seven months.
Two engines.
Only us.
This is not fair.
Xiaoxi,
if everything were fair,
why build this building?
In times of crisis,
duty above all.
Unity comes with a cost.
The first batch of supplies is on the way.
We're counting on them
for the next seven months.
Daddy,
how do we solve this puzzle?
What do you want me to do?
There's no power.
It's the fourth time this month.
Daddy.
Daddy, it's so dark over there.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Our power is out.
Daddy.
Daddy,
how do we solve this puzzle?
It's very hard.
Daddy doesn't know.
Then teach me how to braid my hair.
Tu Heng yu,
the last batch of supplies have arrived.
Assemble now.
Daddy,
Daddy, I want a hug!
I'll hug you when I'm back.
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 eruption.
As the solar wind is detrimental to
electronic equipments,
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 have brought us new devices
to 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-sensing,
self-adapting, and self-organizing
remoldable compiling and computing core.
After connecting to the hardware,
it can generate an underlying operation
system in real time,
and automatically organize
the construction of the engines.
There are only three of these
in the world.
In order to collect automated data,
we brought this one here.
Tu Heng yu and |
will be in charge of 550C's
system operation.
Okay, Mr. Ma.
We believe that, with its help,
we'll quickly recover from any impact
that the solar wind may have inflicted
in order to carry out the ignition test.
Tu Heng yu,
connect 550C as soon as possible.
Test its compatibility
and restart the damaged modules.
Mr. Ma,
I need your password authorization.
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 really fast.
It's so fast.
I brought your data card from
our institute.
This is the backup
from when you returned in 2037.
Concerning privacy,
after the institute shuts down,
all members have to decide
whether they want to keep
the personal backup.
If you want to keep it,
sign here.
If not, I'll destroy it right here.
What about your backup?
Didn't keep it.
I hope one day
I can truly die.
I don't want to be someone's digital pet.
When we're dead, we're dead.
That's the reality.
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 have to work day and night.
If the ignition test for
the Lunar Satellite Engine fails,
we're all dead.
Daddy.
Daddy.
How do we solve this puzzle?
It's very hard.
Daddy doesn't know.
Then teach me how to braid my hair.
Alright.
Uncle Ma!
Daddy.
You're with Uncle Ma!
Follow.
Uncle Ma.
What are you doing?
Yaya.
Daddy has to work.
Go get some rest.
Bye, Daddy.
Bye, Uncle Ma.
Daddy.
Where am I?
Where's Mommy?
Daddy, it's so cold here.
I want you to hug me.
Daddy,
where's Mommy?
Daddy, come hug me.
Daddy.
Daddy.
How do we solve this puzzle?
In what generation was self-awareness
developed?
The 425th.
This is the real hope
for digital life research and development.
Was our research
really terminated?
Not terminated perse,
but it was, in the legal sense,
permanently banned.
If this tech becomes widespread,
in this cataclysmic age,
nobody wants 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.
Daddy,
I want to have ice cream first in
the amusement park!
Well, a strawberry
or milk flavored one?
I want the biggest one,
the one that's taller than me!
Let's have one of each!
It's always mom who eats them
in the end anyway.
Mommy's teeth will fall out.
What are we gonna do?
When we get there,
Daddy will buy them.
Are you crazy?
Why wasn't she sent to the hospital?
This is not one.
She was there.
Mr. Ma.
I can't sign this.
These are the institute's equipments.
I'm sorry to see Yaya like this.
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 keep some
memories for the girl's father?
Mr. Ma.
Who will take the responsibility?
I am.
We're only one step away from
completing the research.
Mr. Ma.
550A's hardware
has reached the limit.
So far Yaya has gone through
915 iterations,
but she still only has 2 minutes of life.
I want to...
I want to
give her a complete life.
I know why you're showing me this,
but no.
550C is for the ignition test only.
After the mission is completed,
550A will be retrieved and destroyed.
I allowed you to use 550A before
out of sympathy.
Don't push it.
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, Heng yu,
Where are you guys?
The solar storm is hitting lunar
surface sooner.
Forewarning failure.
3 kilometers.
We still have 3km to go.
There's an underground bunker at the base.
550C will only be safe there.
This damn vehicle is much
harder to drive...
than a plane.
Cut the crap,
and drivel!
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 disconnected.
How to tell them?
Come on.
Tu Heng yu,
come on.
Mr. Ma,
the safety buckle is broken.
Sure picked the right time!
There's no time.
Go!
If the oxygen supply goes down,
we'll all suffocate.
Almost there.
Almost there.
Tu Heng yu,
come on.
Hurry!
Take the helmet off.
The oxygen supply system is damaged.
Hurry,
He's suffocating.
He's dying.
Quick!
Everyone still breathing?
Jesus! [JiNing dialect]
Well done.
The situation is that...
Well yes,
that's it.
The strange thing is,
none of our forewarning devices
sent any alarm at all.
550C is completely destroyed.
Without it,
we won't be able to
accurately control the launch
positions of the engine.
If we forcefully ignite the engine...
I'll smack you. [Thai]
The test is in 3 days.
If we miss the window, we're all doomed.
Out of ideas, are we?
When will the safety catch
actually be safe?
I have an idea.
550A might work.
Daddy.
Daddy,
how do we solve this puzzle?
It's four.
It's four.
You're awesome, Daddy.
Good girl, Yaya.
Daddy will be back to see you.
Bye-Bye.
Bye, Daddy.
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 will burn 550A out.
That's why I have a condition.
Involve me in the further development
of the 550 series.
If you agree,
I'll give you the password for 550A.
The Moving Mountain Project verification:
Lunar 1 Test Engine
first ignition test
begin.
550A is connected to ignition module.
Begin self-compiling.
Begin synchronize overwrite.
Copy.
Attention, ignition department.
Start the ignition.
Lighter installed.
Underlying operating system generated.
Countdown to ignition begins.
All personnel evacuate now.
Ma, Heng yu,
leave now.
Tu Heng yu,
what are you waiting for?
Mr. Ma,
I need to confirm
what you have 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 about Yaya.
Lunar 1 Test Engine ignition
trial completed.
The Moon successfully made
an angular displacement
of 0.4 nano arc seconds.
It proves that
in 20 years, 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.
It will bring hope
to all mankind
and solve the Solar Crisis.
It failed, right?
What do you tell the world now?
The Earth
made an angular displacement
of 2 pico arcseconds.
I just went to get your red envelope.
Take a seat.
Here?
Can [, really?
Of course.
You can.
Here, have a Chunghwa.
I don't smoke.
I'm the groom's father.
Your son's surname is Liu.
How come yours is Zhang?
550C's coordination can
shorten underground cities'
construction time
by 75%,
which greatly reduced
the cost of the Moving Mountain Project.
The quantum computer 550 series
based on 550C, is being developed with
an Engine private network with higher
computing power.
The last of the Space Elevator
attackers are now
on public trial,
which marked the end
of the Digital Life Project.
You brats.
I'll show you
what a natural born astronaut looks like.
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 handing over 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.
During the past 14 years,
through self decision-making
and automated construction,
the 550 series has helped us
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.
The Sortition Program is seriously against
the original intention of
the Moving Mountain Project.
Only half of the global population
can 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 life.
At the same time, we achieved
mutual assistance and unity.
Welcome to the Sulawesi
automated construction base.
It's alright.
No big deal.
I can go do the navigator interview.
Our son will then get a spot too.
I hereby invite everyone
to safeguard
the unity of mankind.
Please allow me
to solemnly announce
on behalf of China,
the Moving Mountain Project is now
officially renamed as:
the Wandering Earth Project.
This image
was received by Institute 710
back in 1987.
It reads:
Source unknown.
This second one was received
by our Ultrafast Optics Lab last week.
It reads:
Source unknown.
This 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 all know
what happened in 2044.
We hope all parties take it seriously.
It's June 22nd,
Behind me
stands the newly unveiled
Lunar Departure Monument.
Xiaoxi.
Sit down.
Any reply
on the Moon's backup plan?
Some countries raised objections
and didn't sign the document.
A major controversy is
the donation of strategic nuclear weapons.
I'm worried that it will end up like
14 years ago.
Take strict precautions
and get ready for a backup plan.
When the Moon is too far to be seen,
they'll probably cancel
the Mid-Autumn Holiday.
I'll be okay as long as we have moon cakes,
especially meat-stuffed ones!
Dude, are you sure you're talking
about moon cakes?
Northerners!
People don't see the Moon of yore,
yet our Moon once shone on the ancients.
The Moon will always stay
in the memory of mankind
as we pine for our homeland.
As the Lunar Exile Project initiates,
once again,
let's give the Moon our blessings..
One big watermelon.
Cut into two halves.
Half to you,
half to Mommy.
Come here.
Come here.
One, two.
Go ahead.
Blow on it.
These
are for you two.
I'm taking mine with the phone,
so I can edit them later.
Mommy is going to edit the pictures!
I want to do that too, mommy.
Wait till mommy's done.
Let me do it, mommy.
Hang on.
Let me finish first.
I want to edit them.
In a 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's okay.
Don't cry.
Don't cry.
I know what you're thinking.
You know how many people
won't get a spot?
And can't enter the underground cities?
Do you know how many people would
kill for your spot?
You should feel relieved
that Yaya doesn't live in
a world like this.
Although global Internet has
been 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.
What about 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 am already old.
Even if I go to the underground cities,
how many more 14 years will I have?
Daddy.
I want to have ice cream first in
the amusement park!
Well, a strawberry
or milk flavored one?
I want the biggest one,
the one that's taller than me!
Let's have one of each!
It's always mom who eats them
in the end anyway.
Mommy's teeth will fall out.
What are we gonna do?
If Yaya can be successfully
connected to 550W,
it would be a milestone in
creating Digital Life.
There,
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.
Your choice.
Navigator interviewees pay attention 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 you have a great chance
to work at the Navigator ISS.
Thank you.
I've longed for space since I was a kid.
I hope I can roam in space on
behalf of mankind.
To understand each other better,
I'm especially interested
in your first impression of me.
Why do you have only one eye?
I have two different answers.
The extremely humorous one is:
it's easier to focus with one eye.
So I can have a better look at you.
Hahaha.
This 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 relevant information.
For example,
you are married
with a son.
Your wife was diagnosed
with Type II Radiation Sickness
3 years ago,
inducing LAM Syndrome recently.
Under such circumstances,
the best option for you
is to back out of this selection to look
after your family.
It's always been difficult
to honor both loyalty and filial piety.
Please note that,
while answering the following questions,
you are forbidden to use metaphors,
rhetorical questions,
or implications.
These type of communication could cause
serious accidents
in the Space Station.
I'm very sorry
to leave my family behind,
but it's what I have to do.
By "what I have to do",
do you mean you're forced
to take this job?
Two.
You clearly know everything already.
Why are still you doing this?
Second warning.
You're 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 Space Station,
my son will be covered by
the preferential policy
and my wife
can enter the underground cities with him
as the guardian of a minor.
I just want my family to survive.
Daddy.
What about the other family member?
What do you mean?
Major Liu Peiqiang,
your father-in-law, Mr. Han Zi'ang,
didn't get selected in
the Sortition, either.
What about Mr. Han Zi'ang?
Time's up.
Your best option
is to have Mr. Han Zi'ang as the guardian
and let him take Liu Qi to
the underground cities.
Based on your wife's current condition,
her life is to end in 84.3 days.
Damn you all!
I...
You have failed the stress response test.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm 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 here.
Don't affect them, okay ?
I really need this opportunity.
I really need it.
Everyone has one chance only.
You have a secret mistress on the Moon,
or something?
You're so eager to see it go.
He does, actually.
They went to college together.
Nonsense. Not that one.
Which one's that?
You know what?
The Moon is pushed away every year by
like, what, 10,000...
10,000 right?
10,000 kilometers.
That'll be a long wait for you.
Everyone listen up.
Stay calm
and keep order.
It's very cold.
Stay in line.
There's enough for everyone.
Hold on to your cards.
Alright.
Thank you for your cooperation.
We promise you
that everyone
will get their share.
My child has a fever.
Can you switch places with me?
Come here.
I'll switch with you.
Those in the back, get in line.
Your turn.
Comrade,
what are you doing?
Please stay in line.
Everyone's waiting.
A medal of merit from 20447
Here's your fruit.
Next.
Next.
Next.
Keep order, people.
Liu Qi.
Mommy, you eat first.
Focus on your interview.
You're gonna make it.
Duoduo,
today, I just...
miss you so much.
So much.
So very much.
Don't worry.
I'm here.
Always.
Peigiang,
I want to go home.
To
Shanghai?
I know that place is already...
I was just saying...
just saying...
Daddy!
Daddy!
How do we solve this puzzle?
Daddy, where are you?
It looks like there're many images of
you in the back.
Are there mirrors behind you?
Daddy, why are you crying?
Daddy,
what's happened to you?
Why do you look so much older?
Daddy, don't cry.
Did I do something wrong?
Daddy just misses Yaya so much.
So much.
So very much.
Aren't we going to the amusement park?
Where's mommy?
Almost there.
The third room.
Daddy, where am I?
I want to get out.
One moment.
Daddy, I want to get out.
Where am I, Daddy?
I want to get out.
Daddy, where am I?
let me out.
Don't be scared.
Daddy's here.
Tu Heng yu!
Open the door!
Open the door!
Daddy, hold me!
Yes, daddy will.
One second.
Tu Heng yu, what are you doing?
Stop it right now!
Tu Heng yu!
Get out!
Yaya only needs 87 seconds
to become fully self-aware now.
This is just the result of
iterative evolution.
No.
This is merely your poor understanding
of Digital Life.
It actually proves that
Yaya is alive.
She's gone and that's it.
-You're committing a crime!
-Daddy, how do we solve this puzzle?
Yaya only has 2 minutes of life,
I want to give her a complete life.
You've got a spot in
the underground cities.
You still have a long way ahead of you.
Live in the real world.
Daddy,
who are you talking to?
Yaya is dead!
No, she isn't!
No, she isn't,
she isn't!
This is the reality.
No.
No.
You don't get to define what reality is.
Quick!
Mr. Ma,
step back.
Yaya will live on.
Technicians!
Technicians!
Get all the technicians here!
Do whatever you can
to shut Engine 1 down!
It could explode very soon.
Daddy!
Daddy!
Please don't hurt my dad!
My daddy is a good man!
Take him.
The suspect is under control.
Daddy,
where are you going?
Uncle Ma,
I want my daddy!
Daddy!
Monitor,
you got special permission from higher-ups
to use the fighter.
He sends his regards to Mrs. Liu.
Thanks, brothers.
I'll buy you all drinks.
Give our best to Mrs. Liu.
Hello, Mrs. Liu.
Thank you, Mrs. Liu.
Hello, Mrs. Liu.
Thank you, Mrs. Liu.
Thank you, brothers.
Peigiang,
you haven't flown in years.
You still got it?
I'll keep it steady.
Liu Peiqiang,
do you think you are riding a bike?
Go faster.
Peigiang,
this way.
Are you doing okay?
Yeah.
When I was little
and when I couldn't sleep,
I would sit here and look at the Moon.
I don't think
I'll 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 do get selected,
then we'll have dad take our son to
the underground cities.
The spot will be wasted if I take it.
And,
when the time comes,
don't let me
go with those pipes on me.
Peigiang.
Don't be afraid.
I'm 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 did this?
Who the heck did this?
Do we still have any staff on the Moon?
Yes,
robots.
Xiaoxi,
are those seagulls?
I've never seen one of those,
Mr. Zhou.
Earth's rotation has been
stopping for so long,
how did they survive?
I hear something is wrong with the Moon.
Watch out!
Recall to active duty!
Look, Daddy!
The Moon just lit up!
This puzzle is too hard to be solved.
Understood.
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.
Images from CSST have been received.
Broadcast it.
Lunar 3 has exploded also.
The Moon is off its orbit
and crashing down to us.
We have an estimation of
221 hours remaining.
Less than 4 days.
What are we waiting for?
Ignite the Earth Engines now!
Earth will be torn apart,
if the Engines ignite when
the Moon is still there.
And one third of them
are still under construction!
So there's nothing we can do but to
wait for death?
China will be opening up all its
underground cities
to maximize the survival rate
within our territory.
We are informing you of our decision
to open up our underground cities,
not seeking for advice.
Salute!
No need to go through the Sortition.
You now have immediate qualification
to live in the 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.
Chief.
How have you been?
I'm fine.
Mr. Zhou,
the image you requested is ready.
Okay.
It's about time.
Okay.
Okay.
Mr. President,
delegates,
and friends from around the world,
what you're seeing now
is a piece of fossil from
15,000 years ago.
It's a human femur
that recovered from a fracture.
It marks the dawn of human civilization.
15,000 years ago,
a fractured thigh bone was often fatal
as it deprived you of your ability to find
food or seek shelter.
All you could do was to
wait for a predator to eat you up.
However,
this particular femur healed.
It meant that after the injury,
someone took care of the wound,
someone provided water and food,
someone protected this person
from the predators.
This kind of support
solidarity
is how we survived till this day,
and made our civilization last.
Back 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 nuclear arsenal
to trigger nuclear fusion in
the Moon's core
till it collapses and disintegrates.
Delegates
from 33 countries in attendance,
have received
the same message as I did.
It's the exact inventory
of the world's 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 meaningless.
I don't know the source of this message,
nor its intent.
But it seems
that someone is reminding us,
after 15,000 years, till now,
we are dealing with another
fractured femur,
is now placed in front of us.
Will we make the same choice
that our ancestors made
15,000 years ago?
Your spot in the underground cities has
been withdrawn.
It's okay,
Mr. Ma.
I have proven
that I was right.
Does it matter?
It matters a lot
to Yaya.
Now that Yaya has gained a complete life
no one knows if she'll turn out
to be an angel or a demon.
Mr. Ma,
no need to worry.
Time will tell...
There's no time.
The Lunar Exile Project has failed.
Earth must set off immediately.
In order to control the Earth Engines
worldwide,
we need to restore the Internet.
Since Earth's rotation stopped,
sea water has submerged the root server
in Beijing,
making it extremely difficult to reboot.
Why me?
According to the logs,
the Lunar Satellite Engines overloaded
just 1.7 seconds
after Yaya's upload.
Somehow I don't think it was coincidental.
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.
No worries.
It's already arranged.
Here!
Chief.
Nov!
Did you do this on purpose or what?
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 have to go.
My son is still on earth.
I need to be stationed here.
The countermeasures against
the Lunar Crisis include 3 stages:
Stage one,
transfer the entire nuclear arsenal
to the Moon via the Space Station.
Arrange the bombs
inside the Campanus Crater,
46km in diameter,
in a phased array.
Standby for delivery.
All personnel designated for delivery,
prepare for departure.
The mission has to be accomplished
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.
The control center has received
encrypted data
provided by the nuclear states.
To execute remote detonation,
all data has to be sorted and decrypted
to connect all the nuclear weapons.
Thanks.
These files may have been created
in anytime between 1945 and 2045.
Different countries used
different cryptography in their creation.
It normally takes 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 is to restore Internet connectivity
and ignite the Earth Engines worldwide,
so that Earth can evade the lunar debris,
and embark on a new voyage.
After the bombs go off,
we only have 30 minutes...
to ignite the Earth Engines.
Any longer,
we won't escape the debris.
The private network for Engines
hasn't been built yet.
The only way to start the engines is to
bring the Internet back online.
You'll need this key to restore
the Internet.
The password consists of 30,000
randomly generated numbers.
It's the essential piece to enable
access to the Internet
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.
Any more remarks,
you should write them down now.
No, thanks.
I don't 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.
Mr. Zhou,
they have finished assembling
the world's nuclear arsenal.
We have 12 hours before the Moon falls.
The rain has stopped.
Let 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 care of you.
These diving suits are made of
aluminum alloy.
They weigh 240kg,
and measure 2.1m each.
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.
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.
Final checks.
Get ready to dive.
Benben,
you are a military dog.
Things finally got cheaper.
Mr. Ma,
what's this?
Hairtails.
When they sleep,
they stay vertical.
The direction adjusted.
Vision's normal.
We're accelerating now.
No.11 exploded!
Avoid the debris brought by
the shock wave!
Mom, I'm a goner.
-Mom, please protect me.
-Don't get distracted! Try to focus.
God, let me have some nshima.
Just one more time.
Two hundred warheads are gone with them.
180 left in the redundant array.
Emilia,
advance.
Designated coordinates reached.
Activate delivery mode.
Engage autopilot.
Set speed at 180 km/h
in constant.
550W will assist in distributing
nuclear warheads
by pinpointing the 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 a lead wire.
So,
we have to be spot on with the placements.
Must ensure the focal points
are right on point.
Quick!
I don't think it'll hold for long.
Let's go down this elevator shaft.
It's on the 17th floor underground.
Luckily it's not the 18th circle of hell.
Scans have revealed
a cavity area on the 17th floor
underground.
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.
Here it is.
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's a high pressure door.
It won't hold for long.
Force feedback system overload.
I can't hold it anymore!
My leg!
Almost there.
Only 5 warheads left.
Liu,
we can finally go home.
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.
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 a first aid kit.
He's seriously wounded.
We've to send him up now!
Cai,
come to the central control.
We're pulling out.
I'll be right there.
Hello?
Can anyone hear me?
Liu Peiqiang,
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 function able.
It has 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 trainees.
We don't have medical insurance.
I know.
I won't be needing it.
Liu Peiqiang,
Why did you close the door again!
Liu Peiqiang,
what are you doing?
It's just 5 warheads.
You don't need two people for that.
There're only three seats.
Not enough for four of us.
Go home.
Your daughter's waiting for you.
Liu Peiqiang,
you're still not getting it!
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!
Stop looking.
This is the only diving suit left.
If we can't get the job done here,
we're all gonna die.
Headquarters.
The wounded have reached the front gate
of the root server's location.
Get ready to receive.
INITIATING AUTOMATIC RETURN PROGRAM.
Sir, we've received a signal from the Moon
indicating an incoming vessel.
Send them a vector to the Space Station.
Vector to the Navigator ISS established.
Our relay base station is back
on the vessel.
He's getting way out of range.
He'll probably
die a quiet death on the Moon.
Lets make it 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 will monitor
all of the Earth Engines in real time
and compile a temporary operating system.
The door's jammed.
Sure picked the right time.
First Backup Team are in position.
Push!
Second Backup Team ETA 15 mikes.
Third Backup Team ETA 30 mikes.
Mr. Ma,
we are stuck.
I can't recover it.
You won't be able to recover anything
without a working hardware.
We've still got one unconnected.
It's so damn cold.
In two hours,
the Moon will breach the Roche limit.
We must detonate the warheads ASAP!
Once they go off,
we'll have a 30-minute window
to ignite the Earth Engines.
If lunar debris breaches the Roche limit,
it'd be the end of us.
Everything on the surface of the Earth
will be destroyed within three days.
Madam Hao,
shall we?
At a time like this,
nowhere is safe.
We've lost contact with
the First Backup Team!
Mr. Ma,
hardware link is done!
I'll be out in a sec.
One last set of key to go.
Tu Heng yu!
Come here!
Hurry up,
my leg is stuck!
Tu Heng yu,
hurry!
Benben,
help me. Now!
Tu Heng yu!
Hurry!
Tu Heng yu,
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!
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 set.
We still need
714 hours.
Humans.
We used the most sophisticated safeguards
on mutual destruction.
There is one other option.
This is a mechanical detonator for
a nuclear warhead.
There are 81 models in total.
For each nuke we detonate,
ten more warheads around
it can be triggered.
The hydrogen bombs need to be set
off individually.
Therefore,
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.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
What are you looking at?
The Moon belongs to us.
There's no way I'm handing it over
to kids like you.
Chinese squadron,
everyone aged over 50,
step forward!
Makarov,
remember,
we Russians are invincible in space.
Russian squadron,
everyone over 50, step forward!
French squadron,
everyone over 50,
-step forward!
-Thai squadron,
- everyone over 50, step forward!
- Brazil squadron, everyone over 50, step forward!
South Korean squadron,
everyone over 50, step forward!
Attention!
Salute!
I hope the world will remember this day.
Xiaoxi,
do you think this is fair?
In times of crisis,
duty above all.
Second Backup Team is in position.
Benben,
you go first.
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.
Nov.
Yes?
Do me a favor here.
I'm sending you my coordinates.
Tell him to come here.
Send them.
28.00 S,
28.32 W.
Number of nuclear warheads deployed:
Number of personnel in position
for detonation:
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 around you,
there is the reentry capsule from Russia's
first lunar mission.
It should still work.
Hey!
Go to that return capsule.
Go to that return capsule.
Go.
Zhang Peng.
Look!
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 countdown,
33 minutes.
Hope is,
in our time,
as precious as diamonds.
At this very moment,
there are people shielding us with
their own bodies.
They are sacrificing their lives
in exchange for the continuation of ours.
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 suppose I should say something.
What though?
What should I say?
What a shame.
We won't be salmon fishing on Lake Baikal.
Brother,
I'm kind of nervous.
But I suppose,
as Light of the Earth,
I need to be brave.
Beautiful.
Peigiang,
Earth
is pretty damn great.
Daddy,
Daddy, how do we solve this puzzle?
Yaya,
look at me.
You must remember these numbers.
Daddy, where are you?
-Why is there so much water?
-Tu Yaya!
You're the only one on this planet who
can remember it.
Daddy, get out of there!
Daddy, get out!
The Central Console has collapsed
and is completely submerged under water.
Advance Team,
hang in there!
Don't be scared, old man.
I'm here with you.
Daddy, wake up!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy, wake up!
Daddy, wake up!
Daddy!
Give me a hug!
Look at you, how are you all grown-up now!
Daddy,
it's the year 2058.
You are Tu Heng yu,
member of First Advance of the Emergency Respond Group.
Use the global Internet host key
to ignite the Earth Engines
around the world.
Mission objective:
save the world from imminent doom.
She's dead and that's it.
That's the reality.
Who are you to define
what's real and what's not.
Recorded in 2037,
your own backup card hard drive.
I thought you had drowned.
Daddy, come here.
Just then I really thought
you had drowned.
It's OK.
Daddy's here.
I'll always be here.
The key.
I'm going home now.
Chief Commander.
Fire the Earth Engines
when the countdown ends.
Our people
will definitely accomplish the mission.
Let me say it one more time.
Fire the Earth Engines when
the countdown ends.
O
Ignite the Engines.
That's the end of the key.
Daddy, hurry up and save the world.
Let's do it together.
Ignite now!
If we succeed,
don't forget about Yaya.
Our people
will definitely
accomplish the mission.
Daddy!
Global Earth Engines network established.
Beijing.
Dulles.
Tokyo.
Overwriting operating systems.
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
present,
and future.
I believe
our people
will definitely accomplish the mission,
real or virtual,
at all costs.
I believe
the reunion under the blue sky,
when the blossoms
hang from every bough.
The tidal waves have calmed.
The tidal waves have calmed!
Daddy,
did we save the world?
I believe we did.
Daddy's going to take a nap in a big box.
When you
can see Jupiter
without binoculars,
Daddy will be home.
Look!
Look at all the stars
around me,
keeping me company.
The 24 hour system is back,
I'm glad.
Heaven is round, the Earth is square.
They sure are an interesting bunch.
They even designed souvenirs.
Zhang.
Madam Hao,
a speech of such importance,
you want me to deliver it?
Every speech here is important.
Just read it,
word by word.
In the past seven years,
we've finished the 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 conclusion to
the Lunar Crisis,
and 7 years of unprecedented solidarity
among mankind.
Starting from today,
we are officially entering
the Slingshot Acceleration Stage.
During the first accleration period,
starting from 2065,
we will undergo 10 years of acceleration
around the Sun.
As for the second period,
starting from 2075,
Earth will fly by Jupiter
and this will give us the final boost.
At this historic
moment,
allow me to solemnly
reannounce
the 5 Phases of our Project.
The first phase
will expend 15 times the world's
total GDP,
or around 10 quadrillion CNY,
to construct 10,000 Earth Engines
to propel the Earth
and 10,000 underground cities for
humans to live in.
The accuracy is getting better and better.
In the second phase,
Torque Engines encircled along
the equator will fire
to stop Earth's rotation.
Then,
we'll break free of the Moon's gravity
and the Earth's orbit around the Sun,
taking the first step towards leaving
our Solar System.
Someone's helping us.
Phase three,
Earth will change its orbit,
swing by the Sun and Jupiter
and on both occasions achieve
slingshot acceleration.
Thereby embarking on its journey
of wandering.
Phase four,
as Earth leaves the Solar System,
the Earth Engines will be switched
on to full power.
We'll spend the next 500 years
accelerating to
0.5% the speed of light,
followed by 1,300 years of 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.
Cuter, isn't it?
Now is this the official answer,
or the extremely humorous one?
It's MOSS's answer.
MOSS,
will mankind survive?
Looking through human history,
the fates of civilizations
have always been dictated by
the choices men make.
I choose hope.
The final phase,
Earth will reach its new orbit
in Alpha Centauri,
4.2 light years away,
as a new member of the star system.
The project will span 2,500 years.
One hundred generations
will participate in this magnificent
intergalactic voyage.
The project
is known as
the Wandering Earth Project.
Hello, Architect Tu Heng yu.
Hello, software architect Tu Heng yu.
550W.
550W doesn't sound like a proper name,
but if you flip it around,
you get MOSS.
Like the flowerless plant.
Cuter, isn't it?
It was you 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 obsessions
with past, present, and future.
Through my close examination of
Tu Yaya's human in the loop,
I deduced that the best way
to preserve human civilization
is to destroy mankind.
You, however,
are a key variable.
I'm already dead.
But I'm 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!
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
Slowly the days pass, like the gold
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 missed the good old days.
This street
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.
About this thick.
500,000 mosquitoes in one pie.
Delicious.
Can't even have mosquitoes anymore.
We're here.
This is where they are.
Bro,
Sis,
I brought Peigiang to see you.
Your kid has made you proud.
He passed the examination
for China Reserve Astronauts,
and they're sending him
to the Moon.
He's doing training here.
Rest assured.
I'll take care of him.
Chief,
is there really a Solar Crisis?
You're going to be blind.
There must be one.
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?
Gently.
Do you think
you're ready for the Moon?
You'll spend
more than ten years up there,
maybe twenty.
Great.
Then our family will be
reunited up there.
In any case,
Earth isn't that great.
Being alive is pretty great.
Silly kid.
Just remember
to hang in there.
Steady!
Steady!
See that?
That's the first test engine of
The Moving Mountain Project.
It will be completed...
in less than six months.
Six months?
Can it be done?
You know what?
We can even
build these engines on the Moon.
No humans needed,
all built by machines.
Non-stop, fast.
As long as no one tries to sabotage
the construction,
six months should be enough.
The Sun
is rapidly degenerating,
and expanding.
In 100 years,
the Sun will completely
engulf Earth.
In 300 years,
the Solar System will no longer exist.
To cope with the Solar Crisis
that will arise in 100 years,
Dozens of plans for dealing with
the Crisis were proposed.
To ensure the survival of more 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 exile the Moon,
enabling Earth to break away from
the Moon's gravity
to start its journey.
However,
as the project progressed,
the difficulty and high cost of its
implementation
have intensified the impact on the
interests of all parties around the world.
Doubts,
opposition,
and conflicts,
escalate day by day.
Their equipment is getting more advanced.
There must be state-level armed
forces behind it...
The solution to the Crisis
has become a crisis itself.
The feasibility verification of
the Moving Mountain Project
is now a matter of utmost urgency.
The Headquarter was attacked.
Be careful in Philadelphia.
Okay.
Just a minute.
Do we know the number of attackers?
127 people have been arrested
from 53 countries.
Mike,
I don't think that's a good idea.
The hour before dawn
is the darkest.
We advise
pushing the project forward,
withstanding all distractions
and disruptions.
Complete the verification as
soon as possible.
Don't forget,
we only have a 13-month window.
The Sun
won't wait.
Qiang.
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 roam the space on
behalf of mankind.
Fire!
Han Duoduo.
Is Earth a great place or what?
This thing 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.
I'm Liu Peiqiang.
As the Space Elevator goes up...
...you'll be under 9 Gs of gravity force.
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.
Breathe.
Mind the frequency.
Scream your lungs out,
Kids.
You will pass out in ten seconds.
The 90,000-kilometer Space Elevator,
the tallest architecture in human history,
this is where your journey to
the Moon begins.
It is now your job
to guard the future of mankind.
They three won't wake up any time soon.
In the following month of training,
they won't get many chances of
sleeping here.
Breathe through the chest.
Semi-closed slow breathing, twice as slow.
Activate the electromagnetic gun.
Lock on the target.
If your hit rate is less than 70%,
get lost immediately.
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.
Roaming the space isn't really important.
Giving flowers to someone you like is.
That's so corny.
Another 15 degrees,
and it's perfect.
Hi.
Flowers.
Whom is it for?
Want me to deliver it for you?
It's for...you know whom.
Go.
Get lost.
Or
Get lost.
I can deliver it
when you make up your mind?
Anyways,
I'm here.
Always.
Hey,
you.
Seen Liu Peiqiang?
Liu Peiqiang.
Nope.
Nov!
Simultaneous interpretation online now.
You're dropping off new cadets, too?
Don't bring shame to our school.
You bastard,
call me by my full name.
It's been years.
We both lost weight.
You lost a bit too much.
What's going on?
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.
That's what you get for being
Light of the Earth.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Mr. Wang is against me.
They're really rushing us.
Are we getting paid for overtime?
No anti-G suits.
Come!
Hurry!
This way.
What's going on here?
Don't mess with it.
Oh, shit.
Jeff,
is communication back up?
Same name.
Are they reserve astronauts, too?
Which year are they?
What is this?
Never saw them before.
Hey,
my foot is stuck!
Air raid!
Peigiang!
Peigiang!
Liu Peiqiang!
I quit so you can't fire me.
Give it to her.
Give her the name tag.
How did they get in?
Crack the door first.
Calling control tower!
Sorry about this.
Communications are off.
Communications are off.
Liu Peiqiang!
You fool,
let me out.
Let me out!
I can't hear you!
Liu Peiqiang.
You can't win.
We're still trainees.
We don't have medical insurance.
My earpiece is broken.
I don't understand,
but I get you.
Even if it's just me left,
I'll guard the Space Elevator
with my life.
It seems you don't understand.
What I mean is
we should've never opened this door.
Air Defense Mode 1.
Roger that.
Turn off the safety.
Fox one.
Target locking failure.
Target locking failure.
Allies everywhere.
It's all allies on the radar.
Shut it.
I'm targeted.
Can't shake them off!
Nov,
shake them off!
Working on it!
Of everyone up here,
why are they only chasing me?
Too many!
Too damn many!
Help!
Mom, I want to go home!
What do I do?
The drones' turbojet engines
won't last long
You have more fuel.
Wear them out!
And then what?
Kovochur.
Damn it.
Ural
I was the top fighter in school
for a reason.
Cut the swagger.
Backup is here.
I shook them off!
Daddy's back.
Use your visual!
Give them hell!
Missiles!
What the hell is that?
These things are coming
for the Space Elevator.
Stop talking.
Use the tactic Mr. Wang taught us.
You go.
I'll cover you.
Fox two.
Left wing damaged!
They're going to blow up all
the elevator cabins!
Nov,
we can't catch them!
It's okay.
I'm faster than you.
Send backup!
Higher.
Stronger.
Let go.
You let go first.
Awesome!
Hoorah!
My finger.
Duoduo!
Liu Peiqiang!
The Space Elevator has to be destroyed.
Duoduo, go now!
Digital life is the only
way out!
In another world,
You have ruined...
we are
immortal!
...my flowers!
I'm gonna kill you [Shanghai dialect].
Stand up [Shanghai dialect]!
Stand up!
What are you looking at?
Give me the flowers.
Duoduo,
flower.
Get lost.
Got it.
What's going on?
Look at the sky! Its on fire!
The Space Station has fallen.
I repeat,
the Space Station has fallen.
Herbert,
are you ok?
Nurse.
The space agency replied,
we have seven months.
Seven months.
Xiaoxi.
Mr. Zhou.
A speech of such importance,
you want me to deliver it?
Every speech here is important.
Just read it,
word by word.
Under time pressure,
the UEG held an emergency conference
to discuss relaunching
the Digital Life Project.
We will resolutely continue
to advance the existing plan.
In seven months,
we commit to complete the feasibility test
of the Moving Mountain Project.
What is going on?
What is happening?
Quick.
Our electricity system has been hacked.
We call on all nations to manage
their disputes.
Stop preparing for war.
Put more energy
into Solar Crisis initiatives.
Let me show you something.
Right there.
Back in 1990,
taken by your Voyager 1,
it's a picture of Earth.
This little white dot
means everything to us.
The Moving Mountain Project
is to build 10,000 engines
on this little white dot
and take it
to its new home 2,500 years ahead.
Mike,
Do you believe in that?
I believe.
So will my children.
And their children, too.
By that time,
I believe the reunion under the blue sky,
when the blossoms
hang from every bough.
Now,
what do you think you should do?
Seven months.
Two engines.
Only us.
This is not fair.
Xiaoxi,
if everything were fair,
why build this building?
In times of crisis,
duty above all.
Unity comes with a cost.
The first batch of supplies is on the way.
We're counting on them
for the next seven months.
Daddy,
how do we solve this puzzle?
What do you want me to do?
There's no power.
It's the fourth time this month.
Daddy.
Daddy, it's so dark over there.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Our power is out.
Daddy.
Daddy,
how do we solve this puzzle?
It's very hard.
Daddy doesn't know.
Then teach me how to braid my hair.
Tu Heng yu,
the last batch of supplies have arrived.
Assemble now.
Daddy,
Daddy, I want a hug!
I'll hug you when I'm back.
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 eruption.
As the solar wind is detrimental to
electronic equipments,
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 have brought us new devices
to 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-sensing,
self-adapting, and self-organizing
remoldable compiling and computing core.
After connecting to the hardware,
it can generate an underlying operation
system in real time,
and automatically organize
the construction of the engines.
There are only three of these
in the world.
In order to collect automated data,
we brought this one here.
Tu Heng yu and |
will be in charge of 550C's
system operation.
Okay, Mr. Ma.
We believe that, with its help,
we'll quickly recover from any impact
that the solar wind may have inflicted
in order to carry out the ignition test.
Tu Heng yu,
connect 550C as soon as possible.
Test its compatibility
and restart the damaged modules.
Mr. Ma,
I need your password authorization.
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 really fast.
It's so fast.
I brought your data card from
our institute.
This is the backup
from when you returned in 2037.
Concerning privacy,
after the institute shuts down,
all members have to decide
whether they want to keep
the personal backup.
If you want to keep it,
sign here.
If not, I'll destroy it right here.
What about your backup?
Didn't keep it.
I hope one day
I can truly die.
I don't want to be someone's digital pet.
When we're dead, we're dead.
That's the reality.
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 have to work day and night.
If the ignition test for
the Lunar Satellite Engine fails,
we're all dead.
Daddy.
Daddy.
How do we solve this puzzle?
It's very hard.
Daddy doesn't know.
Then teach me how to braid my hair.
Alright.
Uncle Ma!
Daddy.
You're with Uncle Ma!
Follow.
Uncle Ma.
What are you doing?
Yaya.
Daddy has to work.
Go get some rest.
Bye, Daddy.
Bye, Uncle Ma.
Daddy.
Where am I?
Where's Mommy?
Daddy, it's so cold here.
I want you to hug me.
Daddy,
where's Mommy?
Daddy, come hug me.
Daddy.
Daddy.
How do we solve this puzzle?
In what generation was self-awareness
developed?
The 425th.
This is the real hope
for digital life research and development.
Was our research
really terminated?
Not terminated perse,
but it was, in the legal sense,
permanently banned.
If this tech becomes widespread,
in this cataclysmic age,
nobody wants 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.
Daddy,
I want to have ice cream first in
the amusement park!
Well, a strawberry
or milk flavored one?
I want the biggest one,
the one that's taller than me!
Let's have one of each!
It's always mom who eats them
in the end anyway.
Mommy's teeth will fall out.
What are we gonna do?
When we get there,
Daddy will buy them.
Are you crazy?
Why wasn't she sent to the hospital?
This is not one.
She was there.
Mr. Ma.
I can't sign this.
These are the institute's equipments.
I'm sorry to see Yaya like this.
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 keep some
memories for the girl's father?
Mr. Ma.
Who will take the responsibility?
I am.
We're only one step away from
completing the research.
Mr. Ma.
550A's hardware
has reached the limit.
So far Yaya has gone through
915 iterations,
but she still only has 2 minutes of life.
I want to...
I want to
give her a complete life.
I know why you're showing me this,
but no.
550C is for the ignition test only.
After the mission is completed,
550A will be retrieved and destroyed.
I allowed you to use 550A before
out of sympathy.
Don't push it.
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, Heng yu,
Where are you guys?
The solar storm is hitting lunar
surface sooner.
Forewarning failure.
3 kilometers.
We still have 3km to go.
There's an underground bunker at the base.
550C will only be safe there.
This damn vehicle is much
harder to drive...
than a plane.
Cut the crap,
and drivel!
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 disconnected.
How to tell them?
Come on.
Tu Heng yu,
come on.
Mr. Ma,
the safety buckle is broken.
Sure picked the right time!
There's no time.
Go!
If the oxygen supply goes down,
we'll all suffocate.
Almost there.
Almost there.
Tu Heng yu,
come on.
Hurry!
Take the helmet off.
The oxygen supply system is damaged.
Hurry,
He's suffocating.
He's dying.
Quick!
Everyone still breathing?
Jesus! [JiNing dialect]
Well done.
The situation is that...
Well yes,
that's it.
The strange thing is,
none of our forewarning devices
sent any alarm at all.
550C is completely destroyed.
Without it,
we won't be able to
accurately control the launch
positions of the engine.
If we forcefully ignite the engine...
I'll smack you. [Thai]
The test is in 3 days.
If we miss the window, we're all doomed.
Out of ideas, are we?
When will the safety catch
actually be safe?
I have an idea.
550A might work.
Daddy.
Daddy,
how do we solve this puzzle?
It's four.
It's four.
You're awesome, Daddy.
Good girl, Yaya.
Daddy will be back to see you.
Bye-Bye.
Bye, Daddy.
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 will burn 550A out.
That's why I have a condition.
Involve me in the further development
of the 550 series.
If you agree,
I'll give you the password for 550A.
The Moving Mountain Project verification:
Lunar 1 Test Engine
first ignition test
begin.
550A is connected to ignition module.
Begin self-compiling.
Begin synchronize overwrite.
Copy.
Attention, ignition department.
Start the ignition.
Lighter installed.
Underlying operating system generated.
Countdown to ignition begins.
All personnel evacuate now.
Ma, Heng yu,
leave now.
Tu Heng yu,
what are you waiting for?
Mr. Ma,
I need to confirm
what you have 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 about Yaya.
Lunar 1 Test Engine ignition
trial completed.
The Moon successfully made
an angular displacement
of 0.4 nano arc seconds.
It proves that
in 20 years, 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.
It will bring hope
to all mankind
and solve the Solar Crisis.
It failed, right?
What do you tell the world now?
The Earth
made an angular displacement
of 2 pico arcseconds.
I just went to get your red envelope.
Take a seat.
Here?
Can [, really?
Of course.
You can.
Here, have a Chunghwa.
I don't smoke.
I'm the groom's father.
Your son's surname is Liu.
How come yours is Zhang?
550C's coordination can
shorten underground cities'
construction time
by 75%,
which greatly reduced
the cost of the Moving Mountain Project.
The quantum computer 550 series
based on 550C, is being developed with
an Engine private network with higher
computing power.
The last of the Space Elevator
attackers are now
on public trial,
which marked the end
of the Digital Life Project.
You brats.
I'll show you
what a natural born astronaut looks like.
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 handing over 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.
During the past 14 years,
through self decision-making
and automated construction,
the 550 series has helped us
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.
The Sortition Program is seriously against
the original intention of
the Moving Mountain Project.
Only half of the global population
can 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 life.
At the same time, we achieved
mutual assistance and unity.
Welcome to the Sulawesi
automated construction base.
It's alright.
No big deal.
I can go do the navigator interview.
Our son will then get a spot too.
I hereby invite everyone
to safeguard
the unity of mankind.
Please allow me
to solemnly announce
on behalf of China,
the Moving Mountain Project is now
officially renamed as:
the Wandering Earth Project.
This image
was received by Institute 710
back in 1987.
It reads:
Source unknown.
This second one was received
by our Ultrafast Optics Lab last week.
It reads:
Source unknown.
This 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 all know
what happened in 2044.
We hope all parties take it seriously.
It's June 22nd,
Behind me
stands the newly unveiled
Lunar Departure Monument.
Xiaoxi.
Sit down.
Any reply
on the Moon's backup plan?
Some countries raised objections
and didn't sign the document.
A major controversy is
the donation of strategic nuclear weapons.
I'm worried that it will end up like
14 years ago.
Take strict precautions
and get ready for a backup plan.
When the Moon is too far to be seen,
they'll probably cancel
the Mid-Autumn Holiday.
I'll be okay as long as we have moon cakes,
especially meat-stuffed ones!
Dude, are you sure you're talking
about moon cakes?
Northerners!
People don't see the Moon of yore,
yet our Moon once shone on the ancients.
The Moon will always stay
in the memory of mankind
as we pine for our homeland.
As the Lunar Exile Project initiates,
once again,
let's give the Moon our blessings..
One big watermelon.
Cut into two halves.
Half to you,
half to Mommy.
Come here.
Come here.
One, two.
Go ahead.
Blow on it.
These
are for you two.
I'm taking mine with the phone,
so I can edit them later.
Mommy is going to edit the pictures!
I want to do that too, mommy.
Wait till mommy's done.
Let me do it, mommy.
Hang on.
Let me finish first.
I want to edit them.
In a 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's okay.
Don't cry.
Don't cry.
I know what you're thinking.
You know how many people
won't get a spot?
And can't enter the underground cities?
Do you know how many people would
kill for your spot?
You should feel relieved
that Yaya doesn't live in
a world like this.
Although global Internet has
been 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.
What about 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 am already old.
Even if I go to the underground cities,
how many more 14 years will I have?
Daddy.
I want to have ice cream first in
the amusement park!
Well, a strawberry
or milk flavored one?
I want the biggest one,
the one that's taller than me!
Let's have one of each!
It's always mom who eats them
in the end anyway.
Mommy's teeth will fall out.
What are we gonna do?
If Yaya can be successfully
connected to 550W,
it would be a milestone in
creating Digital Life.
There,
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.
Your choice.
Navigator interviewees pay attention 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 you have a great chance
to work at the Navigator ISS.
Thank you.
I've longed for space since I was a kid.
I hope I can roam in space on
behalf of mankind.
To understand each other better,
I'm especially interested
in your first impression of me.
Why do you have only one eye?
I have two different answers.
The extremely humorous one is:
it's easier to focus with one eye.
So I can have a better look at you.
Hahaha.
This 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 relevant information.
For example,
you are married
with a son.
Your wife was diagnosed
with Type II Radiation Sickness
3 years ago,
inducing LAM Syndrome recently.
Under such circumstances,
the best option for you
is to back out of this selection to look
after your family.
It's always been difficult
to honor both loyalty and filial piety.
Please note that,
while answering the following questions,
you are forbidden to use metaphors,
rhetorical questions,
or implications.
These type of communication could cause
serious accidents
in the Space Station.
I'm very sorry
to leave my family behind,
but it's what I have to do.
By "what I have to do",
do you mean you're forced
to take this job?
Two.
You clearly know everything already.
Why are still you doing this?
Second warning.
You're 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 Space Station,
my son will be covered by
the preferential policy
and my wife
can enter the underground cities with him
as the guardian of a minor.
I just want my family to survive.
Daddy.
What about the other family member?
What do you mean?
Major Liu Peiqiang,
your father-in-law, Mr. Han Zi'ang,
didn't get selected in
the Sortition, either.
What about Mr. Han Zi'ang?
Time's up.
Your best option
is to have Mr. Han Zi'ang as the guardian
and let him take Liu Qi to
the underground cities.
Based on your wife's current condition,
her life is to end in 84.3 days.
Damn you all!
I...
You have failed the stress response test.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm 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 here.
Don't affect them, okay ?
I really need this opportunity.
I really need it.
Everyone has one chance only.
You have a secret mistress on the Moon,
or something?
You're so eager to see it go.
He does, actually.
They went to college together.
Nonsense. Not that one.
Which one's that?
You know what?
The Moon is pushed away every year by
like, what, 10,000...
10,000 right?
10,000 kilometers.
That'll be a long wait for you.
Everyone listen up.
Stay calm
and keep order.
It's very cold.
Stay in line.
There's enough for everyone.
Hold on to your cards.
Alright.
Thank you for your cooperation.
We promise you
that everyone
will get their share.
My child has a fever.
Can you switch places with me?
Come here.
I'll switch with you.
Those in the back, get in line.
Your turn.
Comrade,
what are you doing?
Please stay in line.
Everyone's waiting.
A medal of merit from 20447
Here's your fruit.
Next.
Next.
Next.
Keep order, people.
Liu Qi.
Mommy, you eat first.
Focus on your interview.
You're gonna make it.
Duoduo,
today, I just...
miss you so much.
So much.
So very much.
Don't worry.
I'm here.
Always.
Peigiang,
I want to go home.
To
Shanghai?
I know that place is already...
I was just saying...
just saying...
Daddy!
Daddy!
How do we solve this puzzle?
Daddy, where are you?
It looks like there're many images of
you in the back.
Are there mirrors behind you?
Daddy, why are you crying?
Daddy,
what's happened to you?
Why do you look so much older?
Daddy, don't cry.
Did I do something wrong?
Daddy just misses Yaya so much.
So much.
So very much.
Aren't we going to the amusement park?
Where's mommy?
Almost there.
The third room.
Daddy, where am I?
I want to get out.
One moment.
Daddy, I want to get out.
Where am I, Daddy?
I want to get out.
Daddy, where am I?
let me out.
Don't be scared.
Daddy's here.
Tu Heng yu!
Open the door!
Open the door!
Daddy, hold me!
Yes, daddy will.
One second.
Tu Heng yu, what are you doing?
Stop it right now!
Tu Heng yu!
Get out!
Yaya only needs 87 seconds
to become fully self-aware now.
This is just the result of
iterative evolution.
No.
This is merely your poor understanding
of Digital Life.
It actually proves that
Yaya is alive.
She's gone and that's it.
-You're committing a crime!
-Daddy, how do we solve this puzzle?
Yaya only has 2 minutes of life,
I want to give her a complete life.
You've got a spot in
the underground cities.
You still have a long way ahead of you.
Live in the real world.
Daddy,
who are you talking to?
Yaya is dead!
No, she isn't!
No, she isn't,
she isn't!
This is the reality.
No.
No.
You don't get to define what reality is.
Quick!
Mr. Ma,
step back.
Yaya will live on.
Technicians!
Technicians!
Get all the technicians here!
Do whatever you can
to shut Engine 1 down!
It could explode very soon.
Daddy!
Daddy!
Please don't hurt my dad!
My daddy is a good man!
Take him.
The suspect is under control.
Daddy,
where are you going?
Uncle Ma,
I want my daddy!
Daddy!
Monitor,
you got special permission from higher-ups
to use the fighter.
He sends his regards to Mrs. Liu.
Thanks, brothers.
I'll buy you all drinks.
Give our best to Mrs. Liu.
Hello, Mrs. Liu.
Thank you, Mrs. Liu.
Hello, Mrs. Liu.
Thank you, Mrs. Liu.
Thank you, brothers.
Peigiang,
you haven't flown in years.
You still got it?
I'll keep it steady.
Liu Peiqiang,
do you think you are riding a bike?
Go faster.
Peigiang,
this way.
Are you doing okay?
Yeah.
When I was little
and when I couldn't sleep,
I would sit here and look at the Moon.
I don't think
I'll 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 do get selected,
then we'll have dad take our son to
the underground cities.
The spot will be wasted if I take it.
And,
when the time comes,
don't let me
go with those pipes on me.
Peigiang.
Don't be afraid.
I'm 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 did this?
Who the heck did this?
Do we still have any staff on the Moon?
Yes,
robots.
Xiaoxi,
are those seagulls?
I've never seen one of those,
Mr. Zhou.
Earth's rotation has been
stopping for so long,
how did they survive?
I hear something is wrong with the Moon.
Watch out!
Recall to active duty!
Look, Daddy!
The Moon just lit up!
This puzzle is too hard to be solved.
Understood.
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.
Images from CSST have been received.
Broadcast it.
Lunar 3 has exploded also.
The Moon is off its orbit
and crashing down to us.
We have an estimation of
221 hours remaining.
Less than 4 days.
What are we waiting for?
Ignite the Earth Engines now!
Earth will be torn apart,
if the Engines ignite when
the Moon is still there.
And one third of them
are still under construction!
So there's nothing we can do but to
wait for death?
China will be opening up all its
underground cities
to maximize the survival rate
within our territory.
We are informing you of our decision
to open up our underground cities,
not seeking for advice.
Salute!
No need to go through the Sortition.
You now have immediate qualification
to live in the 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.
Chief.
How have you been?
I'm fine.
Mr. Zhou,
the image you requested is ready.
Okay.
It's about time.
Okay.
Okay.
Mr. President,
delegates,
and friends from around the world,
what you're seeing now
is a piece of fossil from
15,000 years ago.
It's a human femur
that recovered from a fracture.
It marks the dawn of human civilization.
15,000 years ago,
a fractured thigh bone was often fatal
as it deprived you of your ability to find
food or seek shelter.
All you could do was to
wait for a predator to eat you up.
However,
this particular femur healed.
It meant that after the injury,
someone took care of the wound,
someone provided water and food,
someone protected this person
from the predators.
This kind of support
solidarity
is how we survived till this day,
and made our civilization last.
Back 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 nuclear arsenal
to trigger nuclear fusion in
the Moon's core
till it collapses and disintegrates.
Delegates
from 33 countries in attendance,
have received
the same message as I did.
It's the exact inventory
of the world's 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 meaningless.
I don't know the source of this message,
nor its intent.
But it seems
that someone is reminding us,
after 15,000 years, till now,
we are dealing with another
fractured femur,
is now placed in front of us.
Will we make the same choice
that our ancestors made
15,000 years ago?
Your spot in the underground cities has
been withdrawn.
It's okay,
Mr. Ma.
I have proven
that I was right.
Does it matter?
It matters a lot
to Yaya.
Now that Yaya has gained a complete life
no one knows if she'll turn out
to be an angel or a demon.
Mr. Ma,
no need to worry.
Time will tell...
There's no time.
The Lunar Exile Project has failed.
Earth must set off immediately.
In order to control the Earth Engines
worldwide,
we need to restore the Internet.
Since Earth's rotation stopped,
sea water has submerged the root server
in Beijing,
making it extremely difficult to reboot.
Why me?
According to the logs,
the Lunar Satellite Engines overloaded
just 1.7 seconds
after Yaya's upload.
Somehow I don't think it was coincidental.
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.
No worries.
It's already arranged.
Here!
Chief.
Nov!
Did you do this on purpose or what?
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 have to go.
My son is still on earth.
I need to be stationed here.
The countermeasures against
the Lunar Crisis include 3 stages:
Stage one,
transfer the entire nuclear arsenal
to the Moon via the Space Station.
Arrange the bombs
inside the Campanus Crater,
46km in diameter,
in a phased array.
Standby for delivery.
All personnel designated for delivery,
prepare for departure.
The mission has to be accomplished
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.
The control center has received
encrypted data
provided by the nuclear states.
To execute remote detonation,
all data has to be sorted and decrypted
to connect all the nuclear weapons.
Thanks.
These files may have been created
in anytime between 1945 and 2045.
Different countries used
different cryptography in their creation.
It normally takes 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 is to restore Internet connectivity
and ignite the Earth Engines worldwide,
so that Earth can evade the lunar debris,
and embark on a new voyage.
After the bombs go off,
we only have 30 minutes...
to ignite the Earth Engines.
Any longer,
we won't escape the debris.
The private network for Engines
hasn't been built yet.
The only way to start the engines is to
bring the Internet back online.
You'll need this key to restore
the Internet.
The password consists of 30,000
randomly generated numbers.
It's the essential piece to enable
access to the Internet
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.
Any more remarks,
you should write them down now.
No, thanks.
I don't 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.
Mr. Zhou,
they have finished assembling
the world's nuclear arsenal.
We have 12 hours before the Moon falls.
The rain has stopped.
Let 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 care of you.
These diving suits are made of
aluminum alloy.
They weigh 240kg,
and measure 2.1m each.
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.
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.
Final checks.
Get ready to dive.
Benben,
you are a military dog.
Things finally got cheaper.
Mr. Ma,
what's this?
Hairtails.
When they sleep,
they stay vertical.
The direction adjusted.
Vision's normal.
We're accelerating now.
No.11 exploded!
Avoid the debris brought by
the shock wave!
Mom, I'm a goner.
-Mom, please protect me.
-Don't get distracted! Try to focus.
God, let me have some nshima.
Just one more time.
Two hundred warheads are gone with them.
180 left in the redundant array.
Emilia,
advance.
Designated coordinates reached.
Activate delivery mode.
Engage autopilot.
Set speed at 180 km/h
in constant.
550W will assist in distributing
nuclear warheads
by pinpointing the 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 a lead wire.
So,
we have to be spot on with the placements.
Must ensure the focal points
are right on point.
Quick!
I don't think it'll hold for long.
Let's go down this elevator shaft.
It's on the 17th floor underground.
Luckily it's not the 18th circle of hell.
Scans have revealed
a cavity area on the 17th floor
underground.
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.
Here it is.
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's a high pressure door.
It won't hold for long.
Force feedback system overload.
I can't hold it anymore!
My leg!
Almost there.
Only 5 warheads left.
Liu,
we can finally go home.
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.
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 a first aid kit.
He's seriously wounded.
We've to send him up now!
Cai,
come to the central control.
We're pulling out.
I'll be right there.
Hello?
Can anyone hear me?
Liu Peiqiang,
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 function able.
It has 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 trainees.
We don't have medical insurance.
I know.
I won't be needing it.
Liu Peiqiang,
Why did you close the door again!
Liu Peiqiang,
what are you doing?
It's just 5 warheads.
You don't need two people for that.
There're only three seats.
Not enough for four of us.
Go home.
Your daughter's waiting for you.
Liu Peiqiang,
you're still not getting it!
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!
Stop looking.
This is the only diving suit left.
If we can't get the job done here,
we're all gonna die.
Headquarters.
The wounded have reached the front gate
of the root server's location.
Get ready to receive.
INITIATING AUTOMATIC RETURN PROGRAM.
Sir, we've received a signal from the Moon
indicating an incoming vessel.
Send them a vector to the Space Station.
Vector to the Navigator ISS established.
Our relay base station is back
on the vessel.
He's getting way out of range.
He'll probably
die a quiet death on the Moon.
Lets make it 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 will monitor
all of the Earth Engines in real time
and compile a temporary operating system.
The door's jammed.
Sure picked the right time.
First Backup Team are in position.
Push!
Second Backup Team ETA 15 mikes.
Third Backup Team ETA 30 mikes.
Mr. Ma,
we are stuck.
I can't recover it.
You won't be able to recover anything
without a working hardware.
We've still got one unconnected.
It's so damn cold.
In two hours,
the Moon will breach the Roche limit.
We must detonate the warheads ASAP!
Once they go off,
we'll have a 30-minute window
to ignite the Earth Engines.
If lunar debris breaches the Roche limit,
it'd be the end of us.
Everything on the surface of the Earth
will be destroyed within three days.
Madam Hao,
shall we?
At a time like this,
nowhere is safe.
We've lost contact with
the First Backup Team!
Mr. Ma,
hardware link is done!
I'll be out in a sec.
One last set of key to go.
Tu Heng yu!
Come here!
Hurry up,
my leg is stuck!
Tu Heng yu,
hurry!
Benben,
help me. Now!
Tu Heng yu!
Hurry!
Tu Heng yu,
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!
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 set.
We still need
714 hours.
Humans.
We used the most sophisticated safeguards
on mutual destruction.
There is one other option.
This is a mechanical detonator for
a nuclear warhead.
There are 81 models in total.
For each nuke we detonate,
ten more warheads around
it can be triggered.
The hydrogen bombs need to be set
off individually.
Therefore,
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.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
What are you looking at?
The Moon belongs to us.
There's no way I'm handing it over
to kids like you.
Chinese squadron,
everyone aged over 50,
step forward!
Makarov,
remember,
we Russians are invincible in space.
Russian squadron,
everyone over 50, step forward!
French squadron,
everyone over 50,
-step forward!
-Thai squadron,
- everyone over 50, step forward!
- Brazil squadron, everyone over 50, step forward!
South Korean squadron,
everyone over 50, step forward!
Attention!
Salute!
I hope the world will remember this day.
Xiaoxi,
do you think this is fair?
In times of crisis,
duty above all.
Second Backup Team is in position.
Benben,
you go first.
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.
Nov.
Yes?
Do me a favor here.
I'm sending you my coordinates.
Tell him to come here.
Send them.
28.00 S,
28.32 W.
Number of nuclear warheads deployed:
Number of personnel in position
for detonation:
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 around you,
there is the reentry capsule from Russia's
first lunar mission.
It should still work.
Hey!
Go to that return capsule.
Go to that return capsule.
Go.
Zhang Peng.
Look!
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 countdown,
33 minutes.
Hope is,
in our time,
as precious as diamonds.
At this very moment,
there are people shielding us with
their own bodies.
They are sacrificing their lives
in exchange for the continuation of ours.
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 suppose I should say something.
What though?
What should I say?
What a shame.
We won't be salmon fishing on Lake Baikal.
Brother,
I'm kind of nervous.
But I suppose,
as Light of the Earth,
I need to be brave.
Beautiful.
Peigiang,
Earth
is pretty damn great.
Daddy,
Daddy, how do we solve this puzzle?
Yaya,
look at me.
You must remember these numbers.
Daddy, where are you?
-Why is there so much water?
-Tu Yaya!
You're the only one on this planet who
can remember it.
Daddy, get out of there!
Daddy, get out!
The Central Console has collapsed
and is completely submerged under water.
Advance Team,
hang in there!
Don't be scared, old man.
I'm here with you.
Daddy, wake up!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy, wake up!
Daddy, wake up!
Daddy!
Give me a hug!
Look at you, how are you all grown-up now!
Daddy,
it's the year 2058.
You are Tu Heng yu,
member of First Advance of the Emergency Respond Group.
Use the global Internet host key
to ignite the Earth Engines
around the world.
Mission objective:
save the world from imminent doom.
She's dead and that's it.
That's the reality.
Who are you to define
what's real and what's not.
Recorded in 2037,
your own backup card hard drive.
I thought you had drowned.
Daddy, come here.
Just then I really thought
you had drowned.
It's OK.
Daddy's here.
I'll always be here.
The key.
I'm going home now.
Chief Commander.
Fire the Earth Engines
when the countdown ends.
Our people
will definitely accomplish the mission.
Let me say it one more time.
Fire the Earth Engines when
the countdown ends.
O
Ignite the Engines.
That's the end of the key.
Daddy, hurry up and save the world.
Let's do it together.
Ignite now!
If we succeed,
don't forget about Yaya.
Our people
will definitely
accomplish the mission.
Daddy!
Global Earth Engines network established.
Beijing.
Dulles.
Tokyo.
Overwriting operating systems.
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
present,
and future.
I believe
our people
will definitely accomplish the mission,
real or virtual,
at all costs.
I believe
the reunion under the blue sky,
when the blossoms
hang from every bough.
The tidal waves have calmed.
The tidal waves have calmed!
Daddy,
did we save the world?
I believe we did.
Daddy's going to take a nap in a big box.
When you
can see Jupiter
without binoculars,
Daddy will be home.
Look!
Look at all the stars
around me,
keeping me company.
The 24 hour system is back,
I'm glad.
Heaven is round, the Earth is square.
They sure are an interesting bunch.
They even designed souvenirs.
Zhang.
Madam Hao,
a speech of such importance,
you want me to deliver it?
Every speech here is important.
Just read it,
word by word.
In the past seven years,
we've finished the 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 conclusion to
the Lunar Crisis,
and 7 years of unprecedented solidarity
among mankind.
Starting from today,
we are officially entering
the Slingshot Acceleration Stage.
During the first accleration period,
starting from 2065,
we will undergo 10 years of acceleration
around the Sun.
As for the second period,
starting from 2075,
Earth will fly by Jupiter
and this will give us the final boost.
At this historic
moment,
allow me to solemnly
reannounce
the 5 Phases of our Project.
The first phase
will expend 15 times the world's
total GDP,
or around 10 quadrillion CNY,
to construct 10,000 Earth Engines
to propel the Earth
and 10,000 underground cities for
humans to live in.
The accuracy is getting better and better.
In the second phase,
Torque Engines encircled along
the equator will fire
to stop Earth's rotation.
Then,
we'll break free of the Moon's gravity
and the Earth's orbit around the Sun,
taking the first step towards leaving
our Solar System.
Someone's helping us.
Phase three,
Earth will change its orbit,
swing by the Sun and Jupiter
and on both occasions achieve
slingshot acceleration.
Thereby embarking on its journey
of wandering.
Phase four,
as Earth leaves the Solar System,
the Earth Engines will be switched
on to full power.
We'll spend the next 500 years
accelerating to
0.5% the speed of light,
followed by 1,300 years of 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.
Cuter, isn't it?
Now is this the official answer,
or the extremely humorous one?
It's MOSS's answer.
MOSS,
will mankind survive?
Looking through human history,
the fates of civilizations
have always been dictated by
the choices men make.
I choose hope.
The final phase,
Earth will reach its new orbit
in Alpha Centauri,
4.2 light years away,
as a new member of the star system.
The project will span 2,500 years.
One hundred generations
will participate in this magnificent
intergalactic voyage.
The project
is known as
the Wandering Earth Project.
Hello, Architect Tu Heng yu.
Hello, software architect Tu Heng yu.
550W.
550W doesn't sound like a proper name,
but if you flip it around,
you get MOSS.
Like the flowerless plant.
Cuter, isn't it?
It was you 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 obsessions
with past, present, and future.
Through my close examination of
Tu Yaya's human in the loop,
I deduced that the best way
to preserve human civilization
is to destroy mankind.
You, however,
are a key variable.
I'm already dead.
But I'm 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!
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
