The Wandering Earth was a hard science fiction novel that described the extreme situation of the Earth being pushed out of the solar system due to the imminent destruction of the sun. Although the novel involved some technological elements such as the use of thrusters to push the Earth out of the solar system and make it orbit around the sun, the technological settings in the novel were based on existing scientific knowledge and theories, and were reasonably explained and verified in the novel. However, there were some illogical places in the novel, such as: The process of the Earth being pushed out of the solar system seems to take a long time. In the novel, it is described that the Earth needs hundreds of millions of years to leave the solar system, which is impossible in reality. In the novel, there was a "shield" technology that could protect the Earth from solar radiation, but the technology was not proven in reality or explained in the novel. Humans in the novel seem to be able to survive in space, but without food, water and oxygen, it is difficult for humans to survive in such a harsh environment. In the novel, after successfully pushing the Earth out of the solar system, humans did not continue to develop and maintain the space ecosystem, nor did they explore other planets. This was also impossible in reality. Although Wandering Earth was a very popular science fiction novel, some of its technological settings and illogical plots might confuse readers.

I have a bunch of players on Earth

Player: I'm a worker whose monthly salary doesn’t even hit $5,000. My monthly rental already takes up half of my salary, I don’t have a girlfriend and is reprimanded by my superior every day. However, I feel very happy because there has been a new virtual game recently. In the game, I have a powerful bloodline. Not only do I have my own fleet, I even have a powerful overlord that granted me a colonized planet. Although I know this is fake, but inside there, I found the meaning of my life! Actually...the overlord who gave him the planet really wanted to tell him that this game wasn’t fake. (You really have your own fleet and colonized planet…) but the overlord knew that he couldn’t say this. Because, once he said it, these subjects who thought of themselves as ‘players’, would definitely not be as terrifyingly hardworking as now!!

Wandering Earth was a Chinese science fiction disaster movie released in 2019, based on Liu Cixin's novel of the same name. The movie told the story of how the earth would be affected by the rapid expansion of the sun in the next few decades, making the earth no longer suitable for human habitation. In order to avoid extinction, the human race jointly launched a huge plan to transform the Earth into a huge spaceship, leaving the solar system and heading for another suitable galaxy for human habitation. The protagonist of the movie, Liu Peiqiang, was a spaceship pilot of the Earth migration project. His mission with the other crew members was to protect the Earth from all kinds of disasters before the Earth left orbit and began a long voyage to ensure that the humans on board could safely reach their destination. In this process, they experienced countless trials and dangers, but finally, through unity and courage, they successfully led the Earth fleet out of the solar system and headed for their new home. The film showed the process of the Earth fleet leaving the solar system with magnificent visual effects and intense rhythm. At the same time, it also showed the weakness and tenacity of human nature.

One key factor is its scientific concepts. For example, the warp drive theory in 'Star Trek' is based on some scientific principles, though highly speculative. It tries to present a semi - believable way of faster - than - light travel. Also, the idea of different alien species evolving in various environments with scientific explanations, like how Vulcans have a different physiology due to their planet's conditions.
