About This Novel
A rusty geological hammer, a blood-stained exploration log, a string of unsolved coordinates spanning thirty years - when Lin Ye, a master of geology, took over the compass left by his father, he never thought that he would embark on not only life-and-death explorations, but also a thrilling adventure to uncover a hidden chapter in the country's geological history. From the fatal landslide in the rhenium mine exploration in Ailao Mountain to the typhoon crisis in the South China Sea's trial mining of flammable ice; from the radiation restricted zone in the Lop Nur nuclear explosion area to the murderous frozen soil along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway... Lin Ye and a group of "people who talk to stones" traveled through no man's land, using a total station to measure the cracks in the earth, and using rock cores to drill into the earth's memory. They discovered that the data left by their father's exploration team contained hidden contradictions. The black spots in each geological file pointed to a deliberately buried truth - those so-called "natural disasters" may be a scientific game spanning half a century. When three-dimensional seismic waves uncovered military-industrial relics thousands of meters underground, and when radioactive isotopes traced their origins to secret experiments during the Cold War, Lin Ye gradually realized that the geological hammer in his hand was not only striking rocks, but also asking about the echoes of the times: In the gap between resource competition and ecological protection, on the cliff edge between technological belief and the bottom line of humanity, how can a group of silent "earth doctors" use their lives to calibrate the coordinates of the country's lifeline? "We are not just cutting through the rock formations, but also the dust-covered truth of the times." --When Linye's drill touched his father's last exploration coordinates, was what came from the ground a warning from the dead souls, or was it the pulse of new life?
