Chapter 377: Wandering Earth Project_1

Jiang Yu held a secret meeting at the Desert North Farm with the newly appointed officials of the Earth Province, as well as officials who had rushed over from the Moon, to elaborate on his "Wandering Earth Plan".

The Desert North Farm and the Mercury Colony had always been under the jurisdiction of the Moon Cold Palace Province, but now Earth had just established a new province.

This plan had emerged in Jiang Yu's mind ever since he learned about orphan planets in the universe, but there had never been a good opportunity to implement it.

The newly appointed Governor, Bernice, also came over from Jupiter City with that group of officials and was fortunate enough to attend this meeting.

Everyone heard Jiang Yu's plan and suddenly felt an urgency about the consequences of cosmic broadcast.

However, Jiang Yu's plan was so bold that no one dared to speak up.

While the Solar System State now stands as the pinnacle of human technology, the notion of taking a planet on a refugee journey was beyond imagination.

In the meeting room, the only one who dared to question the Wallfacer's plan was Bernice, "Doesn't seem necessary, does it?

"Resources of all kinds on Earth can be found everywhere in the universe, and if we embark on large-scale interstellar migration, Earth will become a tremendous encumbrance!"

Jiang Yu said with a smile, "The Academy of Sciences said the same thing, but Earth's spiritual significance to humanity is greater than its material significance!

"This is the birthplace of our species, and if one day, the Solar System is truly destroyed, the humans who have completed interstellar migration will find themselves spiritually adrift.

"We need to take not only Earth but also the Moon. In the distant future, these two planets will become an important spiritual wealth for humanity!

"I believe that everything in the Solar System should be taken with us as much as we can!"

Bernice did not continue to question but chose to trust the Wallfacer.

Having admired the Wallfacers since childhood, even upon becoming a Governor, like most people, she would support his plans unconditionally, even without understanding his intentions.

Jiang Yu continued, "Therefore, the Earth and Guanghan provinces will have special administrative significance in the future. After the two planets leave the Solar System, they will become humanity's two 'enclaves'!

"From today onwards, your work must prioritize the 'Wandering Earth' plan!"

Jiang Yu then instructed Number Three to display the outline of the Academy of Sciences' "Wandering Earth Plan" on the projector.

Only then did everyone realize that as soon as the Trisolarans' Second Fleet changed course, the Wallfacer had already secretly organized a "Wandering Earth" scientific team at the Academy of Sciences.

The entire plan was divided into two parts: preparation and construction and testing. The preparation involved collecting the genes of all plants and animals on Earth, building underground cities capable of housing over a billion people, and tackling some technological challenges.

The specific plans for construction and testing were already in place, aiming to build fifty to sixty massive "Gravity Engines" in locations such as the Eurasian Continent, Pacific Ocean, and North America.

The repulsion and attraction of gravity would be harnessed to propel Earth.

This plan was actually Hu Guanghan's from over a hundred years ago, but the technology was too underdeveloped to implement it at the time.

The current Academy of Sciences had merely revised the plan based on today's technology, which is why a mature contingency plan was so swiftly in place.

Bernice thought of the Solar System State's current territories on Earth and its hegemony across the entire Solar System – this was the perfect opportunity to implement the plan!

She didn't believe that Jiang Yu's plan was a sudden whim.

This further convinced her of the plan's utmost importance to the Wallfacer, that it was indeed worth the entire Solar System State's concerted effort.

The plan outline also provided a rough timeline for implementation, where the preparation phase would take twenty years, and the construction and adjustment phase would take another twenty.

Each stage had a ten-year overlap period, meaning that the Academy planned to install a "Gravity Engine" for Earth in about thirty years.

After reviewing the documents, Park Jung-sin, the highest administrative officer of the Moon Cold Palace Province, asked Jiang Yu, "Wallfacer, the Moon has a large amount of PDC territory. By what means do we intend to have them relinquish these territories?"

Jiang Yu replied, "In a few years, the Governing Council will find an appropriate moment to propose trading Space City for Moon territories and Earth's Oceania territories."

Park Jung-sin was taken aback, "They're unlikely to agree to that."

After all, Moon and Earth territories were "permanent territories," while Space City would require maintenance and would be scrapped after a few hundred years.

Jiang Yu simply smiled mysteriously, "Just because they're unwilling to trade now doesn't mean they won't be willing to later."

He then reminded, "The matter of territory exchange is top secret, and should not be leaked for the time being."

After a brief discussion, the matter was set in stone, though it was not yet time for the "Wandering Earth" plan; they could only proceed with the preparation work in silence.

Thus, across Earth, former Resistance Army members now citizens of the Solar System State, took teams of new immigrants worldwide to capture Earth species and search for precious plant species.

Many submarines and fishing boats also went to sea to catch marine life.

The actions of the Solar System State baffled people from PDC and Fleet International.

The explanation given by the Solar System State was that these actions were to prevent a sudden Dark Forest Strike and establish a genetic library of Earth's biosphere.

This announcement was half true, half false; establishing the genetic library was indeed true, but not to prevent a Dark Forest Strike.

PDC and Fleet International believed it and even highly praised the Solar System State's contributions to the continuation of Earth's biospecies.

As most PDC residents moved to Africa and the southern part of South America, the population issue of the PDC was alleviated.

Cheng Ping began to use the old wisdom of the Solar System State, setting highly favorable conditions for the Lunar and Martian builders.

And she kept reminding everyone that in twenty years, Africa and South America would have to be returned to the Solar System State.

Many PDC citizens who had been through desperate times actually became motivated and began to immigrate to the Moon and Mars on a large scale aboard spaceships leased from the Solar System State.

Then, using tools and industrial products rented or bought on credit from the Solar System State, they built new space colonies.

Meanwhile, Solar System State residents who had been replaced by war criminals returned to the Jupiter or Earth cultural spheres.

They entered factories originally belonging to PDC and Fleet International, lived in cities that had belonged to PDC and Fleet International, producing industrial products that PDC and Fleet International currently urgently needed.

The Solar System State would reap a second round of war compensation through the grand construction efforts of PDC and Fleet International.

However, a large portion of PDC citizens did not have such a realization. Once their basic needs were secured, they immediately began to spread a new ideological plague:

When will the Solar System be destroyed by an advanced civilization? It will inevitably be discovered by an advanced civilization, and humanity has no way out!

Is the Dark Forest Law really credible? What if the scholars from Earth and Trisolaris got it wrong?
