In doing so, the UEG shuts down and bans the Digital Life Project (DLP), a radical group who believe humanity’s future is in digital immortality by storing human’s consciousness online.

Although trainee astronaut Liu Peiqiang and his fellow trainees manage to defeat the hijackers, both the space elevator and Ark station are critically damaged and crash down to Earth. To restore public faith in the Moving Mountain Project, the UEG engineers work tirelessly to successfully activate and test the lunar engine, followed by the first engine on Earth.

To deal with the Moon crisis, the UEG initiates a backup plan that involves detonating all of the nuclear weapons on the lunar surface and triggering its implosion. Hundreds of astronauts over the age of 50 voluntarily sacrifice themselves in order to manually detonate the nuclear weapons. The mission faces numerous setbacks such as the flooding of Internet root server data centers. Tu, who is sent to help reboot the flooded Beijing server, uploads a copy of his own consciousness into the
network before drowning. His digital self manages to reboot the last Internet server in time, activating the Earth engines and moving the Earth away from the course of the lunar debris. The Wandering Earth Project then officially begins with the Earth's course towards Jupiter.

The Wandering Earth II's biggest draw is its jaw-droppingly action scenes, with aerial fights and huge explosions raising the excitement levels. It tells a disaster story from an oriental point ofview instead of the western one, where humans work as a team to face the overwhelming crisis. There's no hero who can save the Earth single-handedly; every effort matters.
