Zhao Pingbei picked up a broken compass in the scrap pile.
In the compass lives a consciousness called Pan'er, who comes from a previous civilization.
"You do it, I'll give you guidance. Once you fix it, you'll get money for it."
Photolithography machines, high-voltage modules, temperature control systems, air bearings - there's nothing he can't fix.
But what he wanted to repair most was his mother's surgery fee, the cracks on Pan'er's body, and the words his father left behind ten years ago.
Pan'er said: If something is broken, it is broken.
Zhao Pingbei didn't believe it.
