In 2053, astronomers warned that in 13 years, a star-level electromagnetic impact would knock humanity back to the pre-industrial era.
After a quantum experiment accident, genius physicist Lin Xiao was bound to the "Future Laboratory System" and received his first deadline task - to create a small-scale controllable nuclear fusion in 90 days.
Summoned by the military into the top-secret "Jiuyao Project" (fusion, materials, propulsion, space infrastructure, intelligent countermeasures, drones, directed energy, clinical life, and deep space collection), Lin Xiao climbed the technology tree while dealing with the "White Chan" spy network in the "zero trust" intranet. At sea, he used "fog sparrow" swarms and thermocline gates/dislocation calibration to disrupt the enemy's "multispectral anti-stealth"; underground, he demolished walls to trace the source of the "AK-χ" chip and peeled off the cocoon.
There are on-orbit lasers and competition for lunar helium-3 outside; there are authority games and identity doubts inside; and an invisible hand above the head is dialing the countdown. Technology is the only counterattack.
