Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 484 - 240: The Collapse of the Wandering Earth Project and Three Perspectives

Chapter 484: Chapter 240: The Collapse of the Wandering Earth Project and Three Perspectives

Once this kind of core explodes violently near or inside the Sun.

It is very likely to ignite the Sun ahead of time, accelerating the nuclear fusion reaction. Even if it doesn’t reach supernova explosion conditions, it can trigger intense solar storms, destroying the temperature environment of all planets within the Solar System.

Therefore, the Wandering Earth plan is imperative for the Evolution Alliance, which has already become high-level Evolvers.

Among them, especially the late middle-stage Kings, cannot, like other Evolvers, ride imitation spacecraft to escape into the unknown deep space of the universe.

Due to the massive demand for food and energy, even when entering a low-energy-consuming hibernation phase, they must regularly intake large amounts of Life Source Material to ensure the longevity of Tier Three Cells.

This requires a stable and spacious environment, either to nurture Evolutionary Life or cultivate Evolutionary Meat.

And in a short time, it is impossible to construct a spaceship capable of accommodating a million people.

So the only option is to use the technology from the spacecraft wreckage to construct large heavy nuclear fusion reactors, propelling Earth away from the Sun while providing sufficient energy for underground shelters.

To maintain the operation of large shelters, supporting the Tier Three Kings as leaders.

As the plan progresses, relying on the physique of everyone becoming an Enhanced People in the post-catastrophe era, along with the calling and assistance from Evolvers, within a limited time of less than twenty years, humans and Evolutionary Beasts cooperated to complete the construction of nearly ten thousand heavy nuclear fusion engines.

After all, the physique and power of Evolvers and Evolutionary Beasts can completely match large-scale engineering machinery and are even more flexible.

And these heavy nuclear fusion devices, also known as Planet Engines, once fully ignited, are sufficient to propel this sixty trillion-ton rocky planet to break free from the Sun’s gravitational restraint and escape into the deep space of the universe.

Most of the Planet Engines are distributed in the Southern Hemisphere.

Because the raw materials are abundant there, and the population is sparse, it’s very suitable for synchronously constructing large Planet Engines.

Serving as the main propulsion for pushing Earth away.

For this, the entirety of South Africa, Australia, and South America, among other places, were hollowed out to obtain endless metal ores and the ignition fuels for the engines.

The engine in the Southern Hemisphere accounts for eighty to ninety percent, while the remaining thousand are distributed in the Northern Hemisphere.

They are mainly responsible for controlling Earth’s redirection, equivalent to the rudder controlling the direction of advance.

Moreover, there are a thousand large underground shelters that can accommodate billions of survivors or Evolutionary Beasts.

Sufficient to give every living being on Earth at the time a refuge, entering the hibernation pod in the shelter, awaiting the arrival of a new world after tens of thousands of years of voyage.

According to the records of the large shelter bases of those years, everything went smoothly until the ignition of the Wandering Earth plan, propelling Earth to escape the Solar System.

The smooth ignition of heavy nuclear fusion brought ample thrust, propelling Earth away from the polar orbit, then accelerating to an escape speed of forty-two kilometers per second.

Ultimately, using Jupiter’s gravity, breaking free from the Sun’s gravitational restraint, heading towards the predetermined Proxima Centauri.

And according to the subsequent wandering plan, the drifting time of about two thousand five hundred years, until entering the Centaurus A Star System, also called Centaurus.

Where three stars are relatively smaller Proxima Centauri.

As the future orbital target of Earth.

But too many changes occurred during this period, leading to a thousand-year blank space left in history.

While the major bases fell into slumber, even the Kings of Tier Three entered hibernation, most of the base operations were actually handed over to computer systems.

As well as the products of the Evolution Alliance’s Agent Plan, a batch of Artificial People whose strength could be comparable to Tier Three Evolvers.

Responsible for maintaining the operation of underground shelters.

Ensuring survivors could reach the new homeland.

These things are tacitly mentioned in later versions of the Holy Spring Scripture.

But at this moment, in the initial version of the Holy Spring Scripture that Lin Feng sees, it specifically points out that the agents were actually created during that time by Tier Three Kings to ensure their stable supply and status during hibernation.

The first priority of the agents is not to protect humanity.

But to protect the Tier Three Kings.

Even if it means sacrificing other ordinary Tier One and Tier Two Evolvers within the shelters, they would still not hesitate.

Simultaneously, their instruction priority ensures the survival of the Tier Three Kings, even higher than the Wandering Earth plan.

That is, in the eyes of the high-levels of the Evolution Alliance, their survival priority is certainly higher than the orders of Earth and all humans.

Thus, the records state that the old Tier Three Kings and even All Gods were not as grand and selfless as traditionally promoted, as the saviors and rescuers of Earth and humanity.

And the subsequent bankruptcy of the Wandering Earth plan, and the current state of being in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, is also related to the deviation in the agent settings.

They were a batch of artificial life forms that could rival Tier Three Kings, and also hybrids of machinery and flesh.

Capable of directly absorbing various forms of energy to fulfill their own needs.

Without needing to, like the Evolvers, enter sleep and hibernation to reduce the demands and wear of the cells within their bodies.

Thus, during the entire two thousand five hundred-year drifting period, they remained awake, distributed in shelters and on the planet’s surface engines.

Ensuring the normal operation of the engines.

Then, the upheaval that happened afterward, the Master of the Holy Spring and His eight followers, namely the Eight Saints on the Teaching Emblem, during their growth and journey, collectively recorded three most likely versions.

The first one being the defect in the agent project led to most of the agents awakening self-awareness, subsequently triggering an internal conflict due to differing opinions, causing Earth to steer into the central zone of the Three-Star system.

Ultimately, heralding the doomsday arrival of Three Days in the Sky.

While the second, was the plot by the high levels of the Evolution Alliance, a few late-stage Tier Three Celestial Kings.

These people were once at the pinnacle of the world, whether in their own strength or in the position of power, were unmatched.

Their only goal was to explore possible pathways of post-evolution, that is, the road to divine ascent.

Which led to the later Wandering Earth plan, heavy nuclear fusion Planet Engines, all being orchestrated by them.

This viewpoint bears some conspiracy theory.

Speculating that the spaceship wreckage and solar storm, bringing an apocalypse crisis, might actually not exist.

The Evolution Alliance publicized it just to efficiently mobilize all surviving humans and Evolutionary Beasts to serve their divine ascent plan.

And the so-called Planet Engines were actually to better provide these Tier Three Kings with an environment for growth and evolution.

After all, the energy provided by a heavy nuclear fusion device is ample enough to allow a large shelter accommodating five million people to operate for ten thousand years.

During that time, humans in the shelter need not worry about their survival but simply focus wholeheartedly on serving the shelter master, Tier Three Kings.

But there are also related records indicating that in the fifth year after Earth left the Solar System, a strong high-energy particle storm was indeed observed.

So much so that many Planet Engines were affected, and the control devices underground were damaged.

Even Earth fell into a year-long silence period, with the communication network between major bases directly severed.

Thus, this viewpoint also has logical flaws.

Lin Feng is more inclined to the extinction crisis truly existing, but not to the extent of eliminating all living beings.

At least, hundreds of degrees of high temperature won’t kill the Evolvers hiding hundreds of meters underground, especially the Tier Three Kings, even facing a particle storm, they can reshape their cell flesh bodies owing to their formidable evolutionary genes.

Therefore, in Lin Feng’s view, it is most likely that the Evolution Alliance leveraged the threat.

To divide Earth’s resources while suppressing the Ocean Evolution King Beast at the time.

After all, after leaving the Solar System, the ocean directly froze, and the surface turned to permafrost, requiring Evolutionary Beasts to shrink within underground shelters.

Humans, however, can continue developing with technological prowess, providing evolutionary resources for Tier Three Kings.

Otherwise, Zong Shiyue couldn’t possibly break through from the mid-tier three all the way to late-tier three during hibernation, leading eventually to the transformation beyond Level 39 on the Day of the Divine Birth during the wasteland years...

Initiating a deific advancement above Level 39.

And the final third viewpoint...

Lin Feng was directly stunned.

Because it’s just one sentence:

To know the truth, then fly up to see it.
