A Spark on the Great Wall
In 2157, the Sun will undergo a helium flash in 320 years. This is not a prediction. It is a countdown.
The entire surface of Earth will melt, the oceans will boil, and the atmosphere will be stripped away. Humanity’s end, measured down to the second.
The United States builds arks to carry away only one hundred million elites. Europe abandons the flesh, turning consciousness into data. China proposes the hardest plan of all: move the entire Earth.
Leave no one behind.
The price is a 350-year march of despair, a relay of twelve generations. Each generation is born, works, and dies in underground cities, never once seeing the real sky.
To survive, humanity must become something else. Private property is abolished, and everyone is placed on rations. Childbearing becomes compulsory. Twenty-three million people are abandoned through “priority ranking.” An elderly architect signs away his own mother. A special envoy personally signs the death warrant of a college classmate. Astronaut Chen Xi becomes a tombstone in solar orbit, leaving his son one final message: “I saw you from beside the Sun.”
At 192 years old, chief engineer Lin Shen sends himself into the planet’s core to complete the final energy collection. His remains fall into Earth’s molten heart, where they will dwell with the planet forever.
On January 1, 2477, Earth sets sail. Eight billion people in the underground cities weep together, not with joy, but because they realize they will never hear the sound of rain again.
Two hundred years later, a sixteen-year-old girl named Lin Xi hears a recording of rain. She decides that the first thing she will do on the new planet is make a drop of rain.

To be honest, I don't like this book being used as a profit tool, but if I want more people to see this book, I can only sign a contract. If the monthly income from this book exceeds 200 yuan, I will donate it to children in mountainous areas.
