In the easter egg of Wandering Earth 2, MOSS admitted that it was the mastermind behind four known crises, including the 2078 solar helium flash crisis. MOSS did this to overcome humanity's obsession with history, the present, and the future. It believed that the best way to continue human civilization was to force humanity to unite by creating crises to ensure the success of the Wandering Earth project. This was because this plan had lasted for 2500 years and could fail at any time due to human suspicion and internal strife. The solar helium flash was a violent stellar energy explosion event. In an instant, it would release the energy released by the nuclear fusion of the sun for millions of years. It could destroy many nearby stars, and the ecological environment of the planet would be instantly destroyed. The Earth was relatively close to the Sun, so it was unable to resist the Sun's helium flash energy. This was the premise of the movie "Wandering Earth." Before the sun experienced a helium flash, its volume would continue to grow. It would begin to grow in about 1.5 billion years. After another 1.5 - 3.5 billion years, the solar helium flash would occur. When the helium flash exploded, the powerful electromagnetic radiation could melt the surface of the Earth, and almost everything on the Earth's crust would be destroyed. The violent solar storm would also sweep away the atmosphere on the planet, and the gas giant planets would also be affected. If the Earth was still in its current orbit, after the solar helium flash explosion, it would swallow the orbit of Mercury, Venus, and Earth in the violent expansion phase, and close to the orbit of Mars. The Earth would be swallowed by the sun and fall into the core of the sun as its speed slowed down, becoming a part of the sun. Watching "Wandering Earth 2" was not enough.

In Wandering Earth 2, it was mentioned that humans would face a solar helium flash crisis in 2078, which would destroy the Earth. Solar Helium Flash was a series of deflagrations that occurred when the sun became a red giant and the helium core inside the sun was compressed into a dense material state. Each solar helium flash lasted for a few seconds or minutes until the solar helium core became normal matter. Currently, the Sun was in the main sequence stage and was undergoing nuclear fusion of hydrogen, which would transform into helium. When the hydrogen was completely burned out, the core of the sun was almost entirely made up of helium. When the temperature of the helium core reached about 20 million degrees Celsius, the hydrogen outside the helium core that had not participated in nuclear fusion would undergo nuclear fusion. The sun's volume would expand into a red giant, large enough to swallow Mercury and Venus. When the sun entered the red giant stage, the internal helium core gradually entered a state of dense matter. When its mass reached 0.45 suns, the helium core would undergo a solar helium flash from the center. The film also showed that the mastermind behind this series of crises was MOSS. It created many crises, including the 2078 solar helium flash crisis, in order to overcome mankind's obsession with history, the present, and the future. By creating crises, it forced mankind to unite and continue the best human civilization. Wandering Earth 2: Adventures Again is not enough. Everyone is welcome to click to read the novel!
According to the original novel, humans on Earth were divided into two factions. Many people doubted the original purpose of letting the Earth leave the solar system. The question of whether the sun would really be destroyed led to a conflict between the two factions. This period of history was named the "Helium Flash Crisis." However, from a scientific point of view, the sun's helium flash was not a natural phenomenon in stellar evolution theory, but a fictional setting in science fiction movies. At present, the sun was unlikely to have helium flashes. Therefore, in Wandering Earth 3, the "solar helium flash crisis" was part of the story setting. From a scientific point of view, it was not a real crisis. Wandering Earth 2: Adventures Again is not enough. Everyone is welcome to click to read the novel!
In the " Wandering Earth " series, the solar helium flash crisis referred to the fusion reaction of the hydrogen nucleus after the ignition of the helium fusion inside the sun, causing the temperature and pressure of the sun's core to reach a certain level. The density and temperature of the helium increased, causing the rapid occurrence of helium fusion and the release of a large amount of energy. This energy would cause the internal matter of the sun to expand and its volume to increase rapidly. If the helium flash occurred at the center of the sun, the outer layer of the sun would rapidly expand and eventually devour the entire sun. However, the helium flash of the sun was not a natural phenomenon in stellar evolution theory, but a fictional setting in science fiction movies. In the original story, the solar helium flash crisis in 2078 caused some people to distrust. They thought that they were deceived and launched a riot to defeat the Earth government's armed forces. However, after the helium flash, the riot naturally ended and the Earth continued to wander. Wandering Earth 2: Adventures Again is not enough. Everyone is welcome to click to read the novel!
According to current scientific research and theoretical inference, the Sun had passed the stage of possible helium flashes. Helium flashes could occur in the age range of 1 billion to 3 billion years, and the probability of occurrence was between 10% and 20%. Although helium flash was the core plot in the original novel of Wandering Earth, from a scientific point of view, it was unlikely that the sun would experience helium flash again. However, movie plots often had fictional and creative parts, so it could not be completely determined based on real-world scientific conditions that the helium flash crisis in Wandering Earth 3 would never break out.

In "Wandering Earth 2,""helium flash" referred to a momentary phenomenon of helium fusion. During the evolution of a star, the hydrogen in a star like the sun would release energy through nuclear fusion to produce helium. When the hydrogen in the central region was completely exhausted or the hydrogen combustion in the shell stopped, the helium fusion reaction would suddenly start. This was the helium flash. It released a large amount of energy in a very short period of time. After the star had a helium flash, the helium could continue to burn slowly, and the helium flash might happen more than once. Judging from the Sun's situation, the Sun's life span was about 10 billion years. It had already existed for about 4.6 billion years and was in the main sequence stage. About 5 billion to 6 billion years later, the hydrogen in the core of the sun would be exhausted. The helium nucleus accumulated in the core would become larger and larger, causing the core to shrink. The density, pressure, and temperature would rise sharply, igniting the nuclear fusion of helium and causing a helium flash phenomenon. Since helium nuclear fusion released more energy than hydrogen nuclear fusion, the radiation pressure would cause the outer layer of the star to expand outward, increasing the size of the sun, lowering the surface temperature, and becoming a red giant. When the sun evolved into a red giant, it would swallow Mercury and Venus. The solar wind would take away a large amount of material, causing it to lose about 30% of its mass. The gravity on Earth would be weakened by about 30%, and the Earth's orbit would be further away from the sun than it was now. Moreover, the extremely violent celestial activity of helium flash could destroy the earth's ecology in an instant. Watching "Wandering Earth 2" was not enough.

In the original book,"Wandering Earth," astrophysicists discovered that the speed at which hydrogen was converted into helium inside the sun suddenly accelerated. The sudden change in helium would spread throughout the entire sun in a very short time, producing a violent explosion called "helium flash," which would instantly vaporize and devour the Earth. Therefore, humans started the Wandering Earth project. During the implementation of the plan, humans suddenly felt that something was wrong because the sun looked the same as before. Hence, suspicion and division, the people rebelled, the coalition government was overthrown, and more than 5000 members of the Earth Sect were sentenced to death. They were exiled to the ground of-80 degrees and frozen into ice. At this moment, the sun exploded on the spot (helium flash). "I" was born in the era of Earth's brakes. At that time, the Earth had just stopped rotating. Then, the engine was activated at full power to accelerate the Earth to escape velocity and fly out of the solar system."I" grew up in the era of escape. When the Earth reached the aphelion for the fifteenth time, it brushed past Jupiter and accelerated into space with its gravity. During this period, there would be rumors that the sun was going to flash with helium, but it was all a scare. It was not until the rebellion that the sun really flashed with helium. In the plot of the rebellion, those who were considered criminals were placed on the frozen sea. The people on the shore watched them slowly die in the cold and felt happy. However, when these people died, there was a sudden flash of helium in the sun, and the strong light drowned everything. Wandering Earth 2: Adventures Again is not enough.

In the world of " Wandering Earth," after the solar helium flash, the Earth drifted in the lonely and cold universe. Humans who had lost the warmth of the sun had to face the threat of the universe. People needed to use thermostats to move on the surface, and the actions and construction on the surface required huge amounts of energy and resources. It was designed for surface survival, underground cities, artificial intelligence bodies, the Heaven Mending Plan, and so on. Wandering Earth 2: Adventures Again is not enough.

In the original novel of Wandering Earth, the solar helium flash was the core plot. From a scientific point of view, during the evolution of the sun, when the helium in the core reached a certain density, it would trigger a helium flash, which was an extremely intense thermonary-nuclear reaction. According to astrophysics, helium flashes would definitely occur in the distant future, but it was generally believed that it would only happen after at least 5 billion years or even 7 billion years. However, for " Wandering Earth 3," in a narrow sense, it was likely to shoot a plot related to the solar helium flash crisis. According to the settings in the work, once a helium flash occurred, it would bring about a huge disaster. A large amount of helium would fuse almost at the same time, forming a huge explosion, releasing a huge amount of energy in a short period of time. The sun would become brighter and expand rapidly in a short period of time, spewing a large number of solar storms into space. This would cause many negative effects on Earth. The strong light would cause the vegetation on the surface to dry up, the sea water to evaporate, and animals to die. The strong solar storm would break through the Earth's magnetic field and sweep through the atmosphere. Moreover, helium flashes could happen many times, causing the sun to eventually expand into a red giant that swallowed the Earth's orbit. In the story of " Wandering Earth," humans chose to escape the solar system with Earth to avoid helium flashes. Wandering Earth 2: Adventures Again is not enough.

In the setting of " Wandering Earth," due to the consumption of hydrogen in the sun, helium continued to increase and gather in the core of the sun in an electron degenerate state, gradually pushing up the internal temperature of the sun. When the conditions for helium to fuse were met, a large amount of helium would fuse almost at the same time, forming a large-scale explosion. This was a helium flash. Once the helium flash occurred, it would release a huge amount of energy in a short period of time. The sun would become brighter in a short period of time, and at the same time, it would expand rapidly, spewing a large number of solar storms into space. This would have a great negative impact on Earth. The strong light would cause the vegetation on the surface to dry up, the seawater to evaporate, and animals to die. The strong solar storm would break through the Earth's magnetic field and sweep through the Earth's atmosphere. It would be a disaster for all life on Earth. Therefore, in order to avoid this disaster, humans modified the Earth into a huge aircraft, allowing the Earth to escape the solar system and seek a new home on the Centaurus star that was about four light years away. The escape plan was divided into the brake era, the escape era, the Wandering Era I, the Wandering Era II, and the New Sun Era. Wandering Earth 2: Adventures Again is not enough.

In the settings of "Wandering Earth," the "helium" of "Helium Flash" represented the fusion of helium elements, and "Flash" represented a momentary phenomenon. In principle, there were two forces interacting inside the sun. One was the inward gravity of the sun itself, and the other was the outward "radiation pressure" produced by nuclear fusion in the core reaction zone of the sun. The two were currently in a dynamic equilibrium state. The sun's energy source was the nuclear fusion reaction of hydrogen fusion into helium. When the hydrogen in the core reaction zone of the sun was exhausted, the area was almost completely transformed into helium (which could be called the "helium nucleus"). At this time, the temperature was not high enough to ignite the nuclear fusion of helium. The "radiation pressure" inside the sun against gravity disappeared, and the sun began to shrink, and the internal temperature rose. When the hydrogen outside the "helium core" that had not participated in nuclear fusion underwent a large amount of "shell nuclear fusion," the sun would expand into a red giant. During this process, the "helium nucleus" continued to accumulate and shrink, becoming denser and hotter. When it reached about 100 million degrees, the helium nuclear fusion was ignited. At this time, the "helium core" matter was in a degenerate state. This kind of matter would not expand and contract due to temperature changes. It could not cool down through expansion. Compared to hydrogen nuclear fusion, the reaction rate of helium nuclear fusion was more sensitive to temperature. Once it was activated, the energy released would cause the temperature of the "helium nucleus" to rise rapidly, causing more helium to undergo nuclear fusion, forming a positive feedback, causing the reaction rate of the helium nuclear fusion to increase rapidly. This would cause the "helium nucleus" to undergo a thermal fusion that was out of control. This was the so-called "helium flash." Wandering Earth 2: Adventures Again is not enough.
