The scientific prototype of the wandering earth comes from the deep space exploration program. The "Deep Space Exploration Plan" was put forward by the famous British astrophysicist Hawking in 20 16. The goal is to realize high-speed deep space exploration and strive to fly to the nearest solar system, namely Alpha Centauri. This plan is similar to wandering earth.
The Wandering Earth invited four scientific consultants from Chinese Academy of Sciences to participate in the production to ensure the scientific rigor of the film.
Introduction to Wandering Earth: (including spoilers)
In 2 100, the sun accelerated its aging for some reason and entered the red giant stage ahead of schedule. The expanding volume will engulf several neighboring planets, including the earth. At this time, the surface is no longer suitable for human habitation, and human beings can only move to underground cities.
However, due to the limited space in the underground city, not everyone is eligible to take refuge and needs to draw lots to decide. Those who fail to draw lots can only stay on the surface and wait for death. In just a few years, the world population has decreased dramatically, and finally only 3 billion people remain.
In order to save the fate of mankind, the United Nations held an emergency meeting, at which the plan of "Wandering the Earth" was unanimously decided and adopted. The "Wandering Earth" project refers to making 654.38+00,000 super engines on the earth's surface, stopping the earth's rotation, then accelerating to leave the orbit of revolution, leaving the solar system and wandering into the universe, and finally coming to proxima centauri, which is 4 light years away from the earth, so that the earth will be merged into proxima centauri orbit and become a satellite of proxima centauri.
The whole plan is divided into four stages: the braking era, the pre-wandering era, the post-wandering era and the new sun era. The whole project took 2500 years, and it took 100 generations to complete. The hero of the story was born in the last year of the brake age.
