To ensure the survival of as many people as possible, ten thousand Earth Engines are to be constructed to propel the Earth away from the solar system.”

To push the Moon away with engines, or to restart the Digital Life Project: upload memories and partial consciousness to the digital life world, so as to achieve "immortality"? In the face of the imminent huge crisis, where will the fate of mankind go? Give a watch of the fresh new trailer of The Wandering Earth Ⅱ: The “Before Sailing”.
