Star Patterns Descend: My Path to the Heavens in Ancient Shu

[The Interstellar Edition of Approaching Science Is Here!]

Chen Yu, a slacker archaeology student, rambles during his thesis defense, claiming the Sanxingdui sacred tree is an alien router. Then a phantom image of the bronze tree appears and proves him wrong in spectacular fashion: electronic devices worldwide go haywire, and a dinosaur civilization sends an interstellar distress signal!

This “chosen one” is forced to join a national security team, decipher Jurassic technology, and outwit dinosaur refugees. As the silicon-based empire's fleet closes in, can humanity use the bronze tree's “Ancient Shu Wi-Fi” to pull off an incredible reversal on the interstellar chessboard?

A bronze tree versus a cosmic warship, an archaeological shovel plugged into a faster-than-light engine: this rescue mission spanning sixty million years is now airing in the special episode of Approaching Science, “My Ancient Shu Path to Heaven”!
