Lin Su, a top research scientist, was caught in a high-dimensional maelstrom during a critical controlled nuclear fusion experiment. When he opened his eyes, he had become a wanderer in a wasteland world.
Radiation beasts roam the land, superpowered beings rule, and humanity struggles to survive among the ruins of a destroyed world. Technology has become legend.
While others fight to the death over a moldy piece of bread, Lin Su stares blankly at a rusted chip. “The monocrystalline silicon isn't pure enough... I need to build a blast furnace first.”
While ancient warriors boast of being impervious to blades and spears, his electromagnetic coilgun is already quietly charging.
From handcrafting his first CPU to igniting the light of fusion,
he uses equations to reshape the martial path, assembly lines to arm the military, and knowledge to rebuild civilization's frame of reference in the wilderness.
The former overlords tremble before the tide of steel, while a dormant Old One AI labels him a “civilization-level virus.”
Lin Su pushes up a pair of glasses that aren't even there and offers the wasteland's inhabitants his ultimate answer:
“Welcome to the Fourth Calamity Era.”
