"Stardust Engine: From Mars to the Top of the Universe" tells the legendary journey of Chinese Mars engineer Lin Yu. In 2142, during a red sandstorm, he discovered the remains of the "pioneers" of alien civilization under the Kunlun Station, unlocking a technology tree that far exceeded human cognition - from controllable nuclear fusion with a hundred times efficiency to molecular optimization technology that reshaped materials science.
As a result, human civilization surged: the space elevator pierced the sky, the warp engine tore apart the stars, and mechas and AI built a defense line together. But deep within the ruins, there is a cosmic threat - the "Star Eater" civilization that feeds on stars is approaching.
From the energy crisis of the Mars base to the reshuffling of the earth's structure; from the pioneering starry sea of the solar system to the bloody confrontation in the first battle of Proxima Centauri, Lin Yu leads mankind to dismantle alien technology and climb the ladder of civilization on the edge of destruction. When the Star Eater's neutron star main ship envelopes the solar system, he will finally understand: what the pioneers left behind is not only technology, but also the fire to fight against the entropy increase of the universe.
This is a collision between hard-core technology and the resilience of civilization, witnessing the transformation of human beings from prisoners of the earth to new pioneers igniting the galaxy.
