Interstellar Trade: Earth's Representative
In the distant year of 2049, Earth is struck by an unprecedented energy crisis. Traditional energy sources are nearly depleted, and environmental deterioration has made developing new sources a struggle. The entire planet is shrouded in gloom, with a bleak future ahead.
At this moment of life and death, an alien spacecraft glowing with an eerie blue light appears without warning, hovering above New York. Its arrival is like a boulder tossed into a still lake, sending shockwaves through human society. The United Nations hastily forms a special response team, and I, Lin Yu, am chosen as Earth's representative thanks to my outstanding achievements in astrophysics and diplomatic negotiations. I board the mysterious spacecraft.
The moment I step inside, a strange energy envelops me, and I find myself face to face with alien creatures of all kinds of peculiar shapes. Their leader, a towering being from the Zel race, radiates a gentle golden glow. Communicating through a transmission of consciousness, it tells me something astonishing: they come from a distant interstellar alliance and are willing to provide Earth with an efficient energy source called “Star Cores” to help us through the crisis. In exchange, Earth must join the interstellar trade system and provide the alliance with specific resources on a regular basis.
The news hits like a bombshell. If we accept, Earth's future will be full of uncertainty; if we refuse, Earth could fall into dire straits in a matter of days. After I return to Earth, the United Nations holds a heated debate. In the end, I am appointed Earth's representative, shouldering the responsibility of deciding the planet's fate. A challenging and promising interstellar trade deal is set in motion, and I am about to embark on an adventure that will change Earth's future...
