Project Sky

**Project Sky** is an important project in ***Distant Sky***. It was created so that humans can live and endure the disaster that was brought upon by White.

## Background

The goal of Project Sky was to create a **Tardigrade Reagent** that can help humans survive the incoming disasters. However, that part of Project Sky was just Plan A, the main plan. In the case Plan A failed, there was a contingency plan: Plan B. However, later on, it is uncovered that Plan A actually existed for Plan B, and as a Chinese military official interrogates Changuk about plan B, it seems that Plan B was the higher priority. The details of the full project are revealed by Jungwoo Min to Haneul.

### Plan A

The plan was to mass-produce reagents that could give humanity the survival tools before the disasters were to occur. Though the reagent was completed after the disaster, it was a failure. At the same time, the White cult hunted down all the survivors to bring an end to Plan A.

### Plan B

It is a plan prepared with the failure of Plan A in mind. The goal was to send a man and woman with the reagent to another planet with an atmosphere similar to Earth. The destination was Titan, a moon of Saturn. However, this plan also failed, as the reagent of Plan B is lost and Heyool Shin wasn't able get on board the spaceship.

The details of Plan B were only known to a few from the DPC. Even Changuk Lee didn't know the details. According to Changuk Lee, when Plan B comes into effect, the committee, leaders of each department and the president are suppose to go to Geohung, Jeolla and assemble at the Naro Space Center.

### Plan 0 (zero)

It was the original plan, but it may been discarded as the chances of success were less than 10%. Since Plan A and B failed, then Plan Zero was forced into action. In order to execute the plan, someone would have to withstand the surface of Mercury of more than 500 degrees.

**Plan Details**

1. Move to point X on Mercury and detonate a quantum bomb. The quantum plasma generated by the explosion of Mercury fuses with the sun, forcing the sun's density to increase, making the sun a red giant. At this time, take a shuttle and use the solar wind to escape.
2. As a red giant, the Sun swells and expands to orbit the Earth, absorbing all nearby planets. Then, just before it contracts and becomes a white dwarf, a quantum bomb is exploded to increase the density again, a phenomenon similar to a supernova explosion occurs, and the sun contracts and turns into a black hole.
3. Enter a black hole and detonate a string of quantum bombs, and a wormhole should appear near the event horizon. If you enter this wormhole into the quantum world, you will return to the Earth before the disaster in order to prevent it.

## Members of Project Sky

Took the Reagent B and implied to had a previous unknown reagent.

## Plot Overview

### Distant Sky

12 years ago, the Hubble Telescope launched by NASA spotted a giant GRB (Gamma-Ray Burst) caused by a supernova bursts and emits 1000 thousand times the amount of radiation as the sun. After measuring the trajectory, NASA was able to determine the rays would penetrate Earth in 80 years. Half of the ozone layer would be destroyed and all organism would be exposed to the deadly radiation and would either die or become mutated. The nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere would separate causing a massive amount of smog. The sunlight would be blocked out completely. It would take ten of thousands of years for the Earth to recover, causing a lengthy polar ice age. NASA urged all the heads of state of every country to prepare for this level 1 disaster. Korea's government decides to join China in reaching out to the world-renowned biotechnologist, Dr. Kang. Project Sky was thus started to create a new humanity through gene manipulation.
