Scientific Research With No Scheming or Face-Slapping
A highly intelligent but socially clueless protagonist would work too. Their achievements don’t necessarily have to become known to the public, but they should be based on established knowledge, not made up out of nowhere.

Hard Science Fiction That Goes Cosmic in Scale: No Mecha or Monsters, It Has to Be Hard Sci-Fi
It has to be grounded in reality or have a unique theoretical framework, like *The Galactic Empire* or *The Three-Body Problem*... but... it needs to have that web-novel feel... Aaaah, I’m so torn (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑). Cuties, please stop recommending *The Three-Body Problem*! I’ve definitely read a masterpiece like that.
No Romance, Just a Protagonist Focused on Research, with No Face-Slapping or Public Reveal Scenes
No stories where the protagonist gets exposed from the start for one reason or another and then gets involved with a female celebrity. I just want to know how someone devoted entirely to scientific research ends up getting entangled with a female celebrity.

It is a soft science fiction book with great potential. I personally like the country's rigorous and logical handling of sudden and unreasonable things in the book, as well as the understanding and explanation of some technological content. It handles the limitations of personal limitations and collective civilization very well. It is a very realistic writing style. I hope the author will not stop updating and will keep reading.
Ahem, I am the author. First of all, thank you dear readers for reading my book and thank you for your support. Also, I've really only written novels in Tomato, and this book is my second full-length novel. I swear! This novel has learned the lessons from the first book. Some of the profound scientific knowledge will be translated into Chinese for the characters, and the frequency of professional terms will be reduced to reduce the boring feeling when reading. This book is also my attempt. I hope to see the scientific and technological achievements gained through the joint efforts and hard work of scientific researchers, so the length of the protagonist in the novel will be reduced. In addition, the protagonist is not perfect and needs to grow up. He will definitely make mistakes during the growth process, such as bringing back a large amount of high technology that cannot be researched. Finally, the author spoke with a smoking keyboard: Really trying! Dear readers! Please believe me! Don't believe they are Qin Shihuang! That's right! If you want to correct an error, you can @ me. The author's backend information is easy to explode. Sometimes I can only open a large account and read the novel paragraphs and reviews to find them bit by bit. Love you! [Seeking attention]
8.9 Points, why is there always a super intuitive person behind the scenes? According to logical reasoning, it should not be inferred to the protagonist. Those who have the power to make decisions must be the most rational people, and those who are marginally exposed to this matter, those who are a little crazy and weird, will rely on intuition. All people who do things intuitively will be taught a lesson by society. (I thought, I thought, I felt) I get a headache every time I hear these words.
It looks good, the protagonist has a good personality, Jin Zhao is also very human-machine, the national scientific research is stable and reassuring, the science and technology popularization made me a little confused, but Jin Zhao's explanations made up for part of it. The thing I want to complain about is that the protagonist, an amateur, is looking for materials to feed the country to study the technology tree. Is it a bit crooked? [Cover face]
I have read the latest chapter. Let me talk about the advantages first. The plot is very logical, the writing is fluent, there is no emotional drama, and the writing is just right for the fun. Let's talk about the disadvantages. The number of words is still too few. If you are forced to read a science fiction novel like this, it will basically be useless. Other disadvantages vary from person to person. There are also those who read less than an hour and were given a score of 1. I would like to see what novels you usually read on Tomato. This one is already considered a good one among new books. If you are short of books, it is still highly recommended.
This story is different from ordinary direct cooperation with the country. This is a story in which the protagonist, accompanied by a strong artificial intelligence, grows himself while helping the motherland grow. If you like to see the grand narrative of a powerful country, don't miss it.
Layer upon layer, technology is not fully provided, which leads to a significant decline in the country's innovation capacity, and it is also not provided, which leads to blockage or slow progress. Very cool! Although I don't know much about the possible professional knowledge involved, it's really great for a half-hearted science fiction fan like me! After reading this book, it's probably my only fault if I don't like other books [face covering] I hope the author can continue to maintain it and will definitely update it! I also hope that everyone can catch up with the updates. If you like to read it, you can slowly finish the page without looking at the screen and click on it, so that the author can have greater motivation to complete the writing. Finally, I hope that Tomato will get better and better, and that more people will innovatively create such exciting science fiction articles! Eating fine bran is so moving that it makes people cry [shy]
The biggest feature is - unexpectedness. Other books of this kind tend to fill in whatever is missing in the next chapter. Here, the ores taken out by the protagonist are all unexpected, bringing surprises (and possibly shocks) not only to the protagonist but also to the readers. The second point is that countries and people will think about and care about the meaning behind these ores, and even financial issues. In many books, these people are like the protagonist's marionettes. They use whatever the protagonist gives them without any brains. But here you can even see the country sealing up the things the protagonist gives. The last point is that this assistant system is very present, and it is not only present when cheating, you can even feel that it is the protagonist's mother and daughter at the same time. The daily interaction is very interesting, and it is truly "interactive", with the two parties going back and forth.
The man behind the scenes: I am mining in the interstellar world to support the country Written by Emperor Welding Wu of Party A It's a black technology type, not the kind of mindless cool writing. The storyline isn't particularly exaggerated, it's pretty good. I just said that when I read it, the various settings seemed so familiar. The last book ended too quickly, I hope this one can be longer. Give it a five-star rating.
A good science fiction novel, especially the theme setting of the plot. I really like the protagonist's travels in the universe and behind-the-scenes participation. Especially the sociology and civilized technology are full of story-telling. Highly recommended. What most readers of science fiction novels want is this kind of story, not a detailed reproduction of technology, but a linked story based on technology.
