Ninth in The World - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

March 11, Year 2038

This was a day that people on Earth would never forget . On this day, another planet suddenly appeared beside the Earth . The new planet revolved both around the Sun and on its own axis in exactly the same manner as the Earth . It was also a planet most likely inhabited by forms of life .

The solar system’s new addition was much closer to the Earth compared to Mars . Mars had originally been the fourth planet of the Solar System, but after the new planet’s addition, it was now the fifth one .

The appearance of the new planet prompted almost every capable country to send out its most powerful aerospace expedition teams and scientists to explore it .

One year later, after the lives of many astronauts and scientists had been sacrificed, it was proven that the new planet did indeed contain forms of life .

This new planet, which was Earth’s latest neighbor, was very close to Earth . To reach the planet, one simply needed to take a quantum space plane and pass through the atmosphere .

China’s quantum space plane technology had matured four years ago, so it could now reach a speed nearly 60 times the speed of sound .

The reason many astronauts and scientists had lost their lives was the weird nature of the planet . There was a specific entry point that one had to go through . If one did not enter through that specific point, they would be crushed by a mysterious force .

That mysterious force, which was very strange, was akin to a magnetic field . Although the new planet was very close to Earth, the two planets were kept apart by this mysterious force .

The first humans to land on the planet were the scientists from China . They were also the ones who discovered the secret to the entrance of the planet .

It was rumored that, apart from the greenery that greeted one upon entry, the most attractive characteristic of the planet was a half-fallen fairy statue . As a result, the planet had been named the Fairy Planet .
