During the Great Leap Forward period from 1959 to 1962, in a place called Chenjiagou deep in the mountains of Chongqing, Sichuan, villagers devoured Guanyin soil due to famine. When they were on the verge of extinction, Chen Jiuye, an old hunter in the village, mentioned the ancestral legend of the "Black Valley Xuan Coffin" - it is said that Chen Zhongren, a famous anti-Qing general in the late Ming Dynasty, was buried in the Black Valley. The tomb contained a secret treasure that could relieve famine. However, the tomb was cursed, and all those who trespassed died...
In fact, the discovery of uranium ore in the Daye Iron Mine in Hubei Province in 1958 was the origin of the Black Valley story. When we decipher the secret research of Qian Xuesen, Zhao Jiuzhang and other scientists in special times, we will understand that the science fiction gene of "Bashan Secret Series" has long been buried deeply...
In reality, the bronzes unearthed from the tomb of Zeng Marquis Yi during the Warring States Period in Suizhou, Hubei Province, were found to contain abnormal uranium elements. Therefore, we develop science fiction based on this to pay tribute to the Chinese archaeological community and the pioneering spirit of scientific and technological archeology.
