"If it keeps following this trajectory, a collision between Earth and Mars will only be a matter of time."
"Zhao, aren't you jumping to conclusions?"
"I don't know whether I'm jumping to conclusions, but judging by the astronomical observation department's findings, that really is the situation."

As time passed, Earth strayed far from its original orbit.
Strangely, however, Earth's vegetation, climate, and temperatures were barely affected.
Crops across the country yielded bumper harvests without any changes.
