The Nüwa reached Mercury to begin the Mending the Sky Operation, but unexpectedly intense Solar Wind threatened the mission before the crew could approach the Sun. After mining Helium-3 and consulting Kunlun Base, Liu Tengkong’s crew adopted a more dangerous plan that gave them only thirty minutes to deploy every Five-Colored Stone.

• The Nüwa entered Mercury’s synchronous orbit and found Solar Wind intensity thirty percent above projections, forcing Liu Tengkong to abandon the original approach plan.
