About This Novel

Protagonist: Lin Shen 28 years old, the youngest visiting researcher in the history of China University of Geosciences, a genius geologist, extreme survival expert, and stratigraphic trajectory decipherer. He has a thin and straight appearance, with sharp and distant eyebrows. The fingertips of his left hand are covered with thick calluses left by years of holding a geological hammer. There is an old wound on his cervical spine from the Kunlun Icefall, which stings unbearably on rainy days. Three years ago, he followed his mentor Zhong Nianzhi deep into the western foothills of Kunlun to conduct scientific research on the polar strata. He encountered an ice collapse caused by unknown geological changes. In order to cover his evacuation, his mentor took the core scientific research data and was buried forever in a 10,000-meter ice crevice. He was the only one in the team to survive. After that, he was charged with "recklessness causing the destruction of the entire team", banned by the academic community, and completely faded out of the mainstream scientific research circle. He spent his days wandering around no man's land, the polar regions, and the edge of the deep sea, undertaking the most dangerous secret exploration missions, and became a "desperate loner" in the industry. He was never a cold and heartless person, but he kept all his tenderness, guilt, and obsessions in half of the undergraduate exam notes left by his tutor. His professional abilities are unparalleled and terrifying: he can accurately judge the age of the formation, geological movement trajectory, underground water source direction, and ice mass stability based on the joints, weathering traces, and mineral crystallization state of a piece of rock. Simple tools can build pressure-resistant igloos, purify drinking water, and determine the direction of wind and snow; they can rely on the geomagnetic field, rock sound waves, and air flow to identify directions in the dark underground space; they can maintain absolute rationality in desperate situations and use the most rigorous scientific logic to open a way out for everyone.
