What I restore is not cultural relics, but civilization
When myth becomes a blueprint, when history becomes a weapon that can be copied——
Lu Linyuan, an ancient book restorer, saw a world that shouldn't exist when he touched a bamboo slip from the Warring States Period that recorded the "Qihuguo Speeding Car".
The insect-bird seal script in front of him was burning and reorganizing, turning into a suspended mechanical blueprint; in the underground warehouse of the museum late at night, there was a black suitcase that could make "Xi soil" sigh; and in the exhibition hall, a "Qihu flying boat" etched with the text of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was being frozen.
Civilizations never really die, they just become "relics."
The "original picture scroll" that Lu Linyuan awakened is the key to reading, completing, and even "copying" the technical blueprints of these bygone civilizations. Since then, he has been involved in the thousand-year secret war between the secret organization "Civilization Archives" and the radical "Restart Fire".
One side wants to recycle the relics, seal up the knowledge, and regard it as "pollution" that must be controlled; the other side wants to activate the relics, even at the expense of the city, to forcefully open the next era.
He is both a restorer and a writer.
The art of the Warring States Period, the witchcraft rituals of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and even the "Kunlun" energy tower that was annihilated before the great flood, all became "concepts" that he could draw in his hands——
Lu Linyuan must answer: Faced with everything that mankind has forgotten, should we choose to repair or rewrite?
"If civilization is destined to be a burning scroll, I would like to be the last writer to redraw the next thousand years on top of the embers."
