Lin Chen, a graduate student in the Department of Archeology, was accidentally bound to the mysterious "Spark Protocol" during an ancient civilization data recovery, and his consciousness traveled to the "Ash Star", an interstellar frontier with exhausted resources. His only reliance was on the two ultimate creations of ancient civilizations activated with the protocol: the Vientiane Star Map and the Civilization Sandbox.
The star map is not a weapons arsenal. By accumulating "information entropy" through observation, repair and intervention in events, "logical stamps" containing technical blueprints, special protocols and even conceptual memes can be generated, transforming knowledge into the power to break problems. The sandbox is not a farmland, it is a "civilization simulator" - by investing seeds and setting variables, you can promote the evolution of civilization at a thousand times the time flow rate.
Starting from repairing the ancient ruins of the Ash Star, Lin Chen used the star map and sand table to quietly sow the seeds of fire as a maintenance apprentice. As he deepens into the truth about the "Starfire Protocol", an ultimate crisis related to the periodic return of the universe to zero gradually emerges, and the shadow of the "Void Devourer" has enveloped the star sea...
