About This Novel
Lu Qiming, a doctor of materials engineering, crashed on the dead planet at the end of the universe. The oxygen is thin, the radiation is deadly, and the temperature difference between day and night is two hundred degrees. All his assets: a damaged space suit, twelve tubes of nutritional ointment, and three grains of high-purity silica sand for experiments. [System binding: The shelter cannot be built in 24 hours, and the survival rate will return to zero] While others were surviving in the wilderness, Lu Qiming had dismantled the escape capsule, used the oxygen supply system of the space suit as a furnace, smelted the silica sand into wafers, and etched the first transistor of human civilization here before the data board went completely black. "No iron? Dig craters." "No electricity? Build a thermoelectric power array." "No factory? Hand-made photolithography machine." A year later, his base has expanded into a self-circulating eco-dome. The internal chip assembly line runs day and night, and the outside is a barren land that has been silent for three billion years. Until the detector captured the deep space signal for the first time-- From the Human Federation seven thousand light years away, and a warning encoded in cosmic microwave background radiation: "Don't develop technology, don't send signals." "The 'Crystal Descent' of the silicon-based civilization is hunting all carbon-based intelligent entities." Lu Qiming raised his head, looked at the quantum chip array he had just successfully trial-produced, and then looked at the cold star outside the dome. "So, Mr. Hunter-" "Are you ready to face a prey armed with three grains of sand and an entire planet?" From a transistor to an interstellar empire. This is the hardest science fiction and the craziest infrastructure.
