In 2187 AD, the cold light of metal flooded the world, and robots took over all the "redundant warmth". Lin Yan, a programmer who was once the national Sanda champion, clutched the old inkstone left by his mother, and could not taste the smoke in the green liquid of the nutritional supplement - he knew that this cold future was the inevitable result of the loss of "human feelings" in modern society.
In order to regain the warmth that was swallowed up by efficiency, Lin Yan disassembled future technology to build a time machine and traveled back through time and space with a mini inkstone. He was going to the Weiyang Palace of the Western Han Dynasty to hand over private family letters so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could see clearly the suffering of the people under the salt and iron government; he was going to the Silk Road in the prosperous Tang Dynasty to protect the silkworm seeds of the female businessmen through the wind and sand, so that the two places would not be cut off by the robbers; he was also going to Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty to help Zhang Zeduan paint the warmth of the market into "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"...
From the spears of soldiers in the Warring States Period to the bamboo slips of scribes in the Ming Dynasty, Lin Yan's social attributes helped him open the door to history, his Sanda skills protected key figures, and programmers used logic to dismantle the dilemmas of the times. Every time a key decision is corrected, there will be an additional piece of "humanity puzzle" on the dashboard of the time machine, and a ray of warm color will seep into the metallic color of the future.
He is not a cold robot, but a puzzle maker who came from across the world - using five thousand years of human fireworks to warm up a new future with laughter, tears and care.
