Lin Mo, an engineering student barely scraping by on the brink of graduation, accidentally activates a relic from a higher civilization at a scrapyard: the "Star Vault Think Tank." Faced with its blueprint for "controlled nuclear fusion" and a countdown to death, he uses nothing but a wrench and scrap metal to ignite humanity's first "artificial sun" in a derelict warehouse! That tiny spark sets the whole world ablaze: the Dragon Kingdom places him under its highest-level classified initiative, "Project Xuanhuang," while the Western giant Titan Group lays a vast net to seize the technology. When mysterious whispers come from the Moon and a cloud of devouring spores appears in the asteroid belt, Lin Mo realizes that igniting the sun was only the beginning. Caught between the will of the state and the fangs of capital, he must counter an ever-advancing, cosmic-scale crisis with increasingly audacious technological breakthroughs. Meanwhile, deep within the Star Vault Think Tank, the ultimate truth about the selection of civilizations is slowly coming to light... This is a hard-core sci-fi epic about one man standing against the world, and one civilization standing against the stars.
