In the interstellar era, human civilization has entered a period of explosion and has also fallen into deeper confusion. Top explorer Lin Hai accidentally captured an ancient spacecraft from the inner solar system during a deep space mission. When modern instruments analyzed the long-lost Oracle character "Tao" engraved on the aircraft, he realized that this was no ordinary alien relic.
Genius engineer Wang Xingchen is developing a new generation of curvature engine for the "Star Alliance", but he has repeatedly encountered obstacles in key algorithms. Until Lin Hai found him with the fragment of the aircraft engraved with ancient characters, and when Xingchen connected the fragment data to the quantum computer, a new space mathematical model based on the "Yin Yang and Five Elements" of Eastern philosophy automatically appeared on the screen - the technical bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time suddenly became clear.
The two were shocked to discover that what they had touched was the "ancient technology" lost by mankind - a glorious era that perfectly integrated immortal civilization and science and technology thousands of years ago. Nowadays, all the major interstellar forces in the universe are eyeing this legacy that can subvert the existing technology tree.
Lin Hai and Wang Xingchen, one firmly believes that "man can conquer nature" and the other pursues "Tao follows nature". They have completely different philosophies, but they have to embark on this journey of finding their roots together. What they passed through was not just a star gate, but also a gap in history and civilization; the enemies they faced were not only powerful alien fleets, but also suspicions and ambitions from within humans.
Starting from cracking the first ancient rune, can they regain this lost civilization? Under the cold and cruel interstellar laws, can they regain their lost civilization?
