Space-Time Gears: 1960

In the cold winter of 1960, mechanical technician Li Mo accidentally traveled back to the courtyard house in the famine era during a particle collision experiment. Possessed with the ability of quantum recombination, he discovered among the mottled brick walls and steam machine tools that the bronze gear left behind by his father concealed the key across time and space. From the ordnance mystery of the Korean battlefield, to the nuclear reactor left behind by the Japanese army, from the undercurrent of technological competition in the steel rolling mill, to the time and space exploration of the future archaeological team, Li Mo uncovered the truth buried by history in every brick of the courtyard. The deaf old lady's silver bracelet with gluttonous patterns, Xu Damao's Swiss Army knife, the encrypted film in Qin Huairu's sewing machine... Are intertwined into a giant quantum network spanning 1938 to 2045. When the time-space singularity beneath the courtyard is on the verge of erupting, Li Mo must protect the courtyard, which is both his home and the key, between famine, the Cold War, and future civilization, tighten the rusty hinges of time, and prevent the double collapse of history and the future.
