Chapter 134: Unity and High-profile Debut
[Warning! Lunar debris is expected to arrive on Earth in three days! ]
Although the moon was blown up within the planned time, the impact force generated by the explosion will still cause some lunar fragments to fall to the earth in a short period of time, accounting for about one third to one half of the moon.
The lunar debris that is weighed down will gradually form a circle of "rings" around the Earth under the pull of the Earth's gravity, just like Saturn and Jupiter.
In the face of the disaster, after the initial turmoil and the feat of blowing up the moon, all forces around the world became unprecedentedly united. The coalition government that had been established for fourteen years finally completed its true integration at this time, truly integrating all forces together.
The population was concentrated in cities, taking refuge in solid shelters such as air-raid shelters, subways, and basements. The global military was concentrated and all air defense weapons were deployed around the shelters to save as many people as possible.
"Please rest assured, scientists have predicted where the lunar debris will fall, and the shelters have been sited to avoid the impact point."
"Even if one or two slip through the net, we have deployed a large number of air defense weapons around us, which can shoot them down in time."
"Please don't worry, maintain order and obey the government's arrangements!"
At each shelter, there were staff shouting loudly to maintain order.
The coalition government has done everything it can to respond, and the rest is left to fate.
An unpublished scientific assessment suggests that the falling of lunar debris could cause 15 billion human casualties and the loss of one-third of humanity's property and industrial capacity, and this is a relatively optimistic estimate.
In the worst case scenario, Earth civilization could lose more than half of its population and two-thirds of its economy, falling into a huge recession. Whether the remaining people can escape before the solar helium flash is a huge question mark.
After three days of anxious and sleepless waiting, the expected lunar debris meteorite shower did not arrive as expected.
On the contrary, the initial meteorite shower lasted for half a day, then gradually decreased and finally stopped completely.
Earth scientists have observed a strange phenomenon.
The lunar debris did not fall due to being captured by the Earth's gravity as predicted by scientific models. Instead, it slowly stretched at the Roche limit of the Earth-Moon about 10,000 kilometers from the Earth, and unexpectedly evolved into a regular star ring in just a few days.
Viewed from space, the blue earth looks even more beautiful with a circle of white stars surrounding it.
"This unscientific……"
Astronomers and physicists on Earth were scratching their heads, puzzled. No matter how they calculated, the lunar debris could not have become like this.
Even if the lunar fragments become the Earth's rings, it will be a process lasting thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
How is it possible that it can become a regular and stable star ring in just three days?
However, no matter how they observed with the telescope, the lunar ring remained quietly in its existing orbit, rotating slowly. The large and small debris floating in the ring showed no signs of falling towards the earth.
The lunar debris impact disaster that the human beings on Earth were worried about was unexpectedly resolved in such a confusing way.
A false alarm.
On the third day after the moon fall crisis was resolved, the United Government held a press conference and announced that in order to better unite the strength of all mankind, it would implement the Mountain Moving Plan to deal with the solar helium flash crisis, abolish all national sovereignty systems in the world, retain only the decision-making power of the five permanent members, and highly concentrate global decision-making power in the United Government.
This marks that the coalition government has entered a new era of highly centralized power, and various policies and orders will be implemented more efficiently and forcefully.
"On behalf of the United Government, I hereby announce that the Mountain Moving Project is renamed the Wandering Earth Project as humanity's final plan to deal with the solar crisis."
“The plan is divided into five phases.”
"In the first stage, by 2065, we will complete the construction of planetary engines and supporting underground shelters around the world to drive the Earth out of the solar system for the reproduction and survival of all mankind."
"After all planetary engines and shelters are built, all humans will move into the underground city."
"The second phase will use the sun's gravitational slingshot to accelerate the Earth to a speed high enough to escape its orbit. This will take ten years and is scheduled to be completed by 2075."
"In the third stage, the Earth will use Jupiter's gravity to accelerate the Earth a second time, gaining enough speed to escape from the solar system and officially leave the solar system."
"In the fourth stage, after leaving the solar system, the planetary engine will be turned on at full power. It will take 500 years to accelerate the Earth to 5/1000 of the speed of light, and then glide for 1,300 years."
"The fifth stage is to reverse the direction of the engines and use 700 years to slow down the Earth so that it can stay in the predetermined orbit of the Proxima Centauri system and settle down in the new home."
"Total time: two thousand years."
On the podium, Zhou Zhezhi announced the official decision of the Wandering Earth project on behalf of the United Government.
The footage was broadcast live to the public around the world, and 70 billion people around the world were watching his speech carefully at this moment. The news Zhou Zhezhi announced immediately caused a huge sensation among the public, and everyone was discussing it excitedly.
Just as Zhou Zhezhi finished speaking, before the live broadcast was cut off, television screens around the world suddenly flickered at the same time, and then switched to a picture of the earth being overlooked from space.
【Hello, Earthlings. 】
A line of text appeared on the TV screen, showing this sentence.
People from different countries see text written in their own native language.
When people were puzzled, a voice sounded in their minds at the same time.
【Hello, Earthlings. 】
Everyone looked up at the sky at the same time, in the direction where the sound came from, and then they all stared in shock with their eyes wide open.
The clouds in the sky dissipated in the blink of an eye, and a cartoon smiling face that was bigger than the sky appeared in outer space. For a moment, all human beings on Earth, no matter where they were, could clearly see this smiling face that covered the sky.

A yellow head, two black dots for eyes, a smile with just the right arc, and shy blush on the cheeks - these are the emoji smile expressions that everyone on earth is familiar with.
An emoji smiley face that is bigger than a planet is floating in outer space... The brains of 70 billion people on Earth suddenly crashed.
[Damn it… I must be hallucinating…]
"Dude, you saw that thing in the sky."
"I saw it...what did you see too?!"
After confirming with the people around them, they found that it was not an illusion, but a real wonder in space. The whole world was immediately in an uproar and everyone was talking noisily.
Inside the United Nations Government headquarters building, representatives from around the world looked solemn, with cold sweat on their faces, their eyes fixed on the figure that suddenly appeared on the podium.
The security guards on the scene took out their weapons, surrounded the podium as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and pointed their guns at the figure on the podium.
Just when the huge smiling face appeared in outer space, a figure emitting a faint golden light suddenly appeared on the podium of the conference hall of the United Government Headquarters.
A tall man with an oriental face, handsome features, extraordinary temperament, a smile on his face, and a sacred golden light emanating from his whole body like a god.
【Hello, leaders of the human race on Earth. 】
