Synopsis:
Lin Feng, a gifted student at a university of science and technology, is saddled with enormous debts and has just lost his closest family. He struggles to survive deep inside a mine. Fate's cruelty nearly crushes him completely, until his mentor gives him a mysterious black metal object on his deathbed.
It is no ordinary keepsake, but a key to an advanced technological civilization. As a vast technology tree, as boundless as a sea of stars, slowly unfolds before him, Lin Feng's life changes forever. Starting with repairing a mining machine, he unlocks knowledge far beyond its time, step by step, going from resolving his own predicament to quietly changing the world.
But he soon discovers that humanity's future is under the shadow of dwindling energy reserves. Armed with increasingly powerful technology, Lin Feng resolutely embarks on a journey filled with challenges and miracles: revolutionizing energy to avert a global crisis; building starships to venture into deep space; confronting the unknown and the threats of the universe; and ultimately leading human civilization beyond the stars in search of a new home, writing a sweeping interstellar epic.
This is a legendary tale of hope born from despair, personal responsibility, and the leap forward of a civilization.
