When Chen Mo crushed the can at the scrap station, the aluminum skin suddenly glowed with blue light - it was actually an alien material that can absorb radiation. He used 50 yuan from selling scrap products to buy a pile of old circuit boards, and built a charger that could charge satellites, which was purchased by the space agency at a high price. Since then, scraps have piled up into a cornucopia: rusty bicycle wheels are ancient meteorite iron, deep-sea antimatter is entangled in broken fishing nets, and even old mobile phones found contain the activation code for future technology.
He used the parts he picked up to assemble a "garbage conversion machine" that can turn kitchen waste into gold; he used holographic projections made of broken glass to bring the Forbidden City's cultural relics to life for live broadcasts. When neighboring countries choked with monopoly technology, he casually threw out the curvature engine blueprints he took out from scraps, shocking the world. What's even more amazing is that the broken diary he found in the garbage dump turned out to be the time and space notes of scientists a hundred years ago. According to the instructions of the notes, he dug out the "waste" and successively unlocked anti-gravity spacecraft, immortality potions and other black technologies.
One day, the Secretary-General of the United Nations asked for an audience. Chen Mo was counting money in patched trousers from his school uniform that he had picked up. The homeless man who always helped him sort the waste took off his hat to reveal the badge of the Interstellar Parliament: "Mr. Chen, the 'waste' you recycled is actually the artifact left behind by the cosmic civilization - now, it is up to you to rebuild the interstellar civilization."
