120,000 Years ago, eight out-of-control "suns" were scorching the earth. A primitive hunter named Cang picked up the mysterious longbow beside the hot spring and shot down the extra sun at the cost of his life to save the tribe. His deeds are sung as the myth of "Hou Yi shoots the sun".
In 2035 AD, geologist Lin Xia discovered a silver-grey cube deep in the Kunlun Mountains - a perfect geometric body that had been buried for 120,000 years. At the moment of contact, the global electronic clock went back seven hours.
Three months later, an even more astonishing truth emerged: nine miniature stars were arranged in a perfect array at the edge of the Kuiper Belt. The record of "multiple suns" in global mythology is actually an eyewitness report spanning time and space. And "shooting the sun" is not a mythical imagination, but a carefully designed simulation test of civilization failure.
Human civilization suddenly discovered that we are not the lonely intelligence in the universe, but candidates in an examination room set by a certain advanced civilization "seeder". That test paper has been waiting quietly for 120,000 years, and the exam time begins now.
