The wandering earth is divided into several stages.

The wandering earth is divided into several stages. The plan is divided into five stages:

The first stage: human beings try their best to build 10,000 planetary engines to drive the earth forward and 10,000 underground cities to shelter human beings.

The second stage: the steering gear around the equator is started one after another, driving the earth to stop rotating. The earth stopped turning, causing the tsunami to sweep the world and the global population to drop by nearly half.

The third stage: the earth will use the sun and Jupiter to complete the final accelerated sprint and formally embark on a wandering journey.

The fourth stage: after the earth leaves the solar system, the planetary engine starts at full power, and it takes 500 years to accelerate to five thousandths of the speed of light, gliding 1300 years, then the engine turns and slows down for 700 years.

The fifth stage: the earth is anchored in the target star system, arrives at its new home and becomes a new planet in the target star system.

This project will last for "one hundred generations". Although we don't know what kind of home the new sun 4.2 light years away will bring, from today on, human courage and perseverance will be engraved under the stars forever.

This kind of despair and hope coexist, and the long journey of the universe lasted for 2500 years, which is called the "Wandering Earth" project.

This is the concrete plan in the movie The Wandering Earth, which is basically consistent with the plan of "Wandering the Earth" in Liu's original novel. It's just that the novel gives five names to these five stages:

The earth stops turning, which is called the braking age; Escape from the solar system is called the escape age; Accelerating forward is called wandering age 1 (acceleration); Slow down, called wandering age 2 (slow down); Entering the target star system is called the new solar age.

The whole immigration process also lasted for 2500 years, 100 generations.
