In the remote village of Taoyuan, Li Si is seen by everyone as a hopeless good-for-nothing. He knows nothing about farm work, but his wild fantasies never run out, earning him scorn and ridicule from the villagers. His life takes a turn when he encounters a mysterious glowing device in the mountains. The instant he touches it, a vast body of scientific knowledge about the universe floods into his mind like an electric current, opening the door to science fiction and discovery.
Armed with this gift, Li Si heads to the city to study. Though he faces exclusion and doubt, he finds friends who share his interests and makes a name for himself in a research club with his original insights, catching the attention of a technology company. Later, he turns the tide during an interstellar exploration mission, averts a crisis aboard a spacecraft, establishes communication with an alien civilization, and helps forge an alliance.
But the universe is far from peaceful. An evil interstellar force launches an attack, intent on plundering resources. Called upon in a crisis, Li Si leads humanity and its alien allies into battle. With wisdom and courage, he devises a strategy, endures a fierce struggle, and ultimately defeats the enemy. The village boy once dismissed by everyone grows into a hero of humanity, writing a science-fiction epic of an ordinary life transformed into legend.
