On the wasteland planet "Garbage Planet" on the edge of the Galactic Federation, scavenger Luo Chen makes a living by rummaging through the debris of interstellar wars. He has a secret - the "Civilization Reconstruction System" in his brain, which can use wreckage as material to unlock and disguise the technology and identities of countless civilizations.
One day, Luo Chen dug out the "Quantum Core" of ancient civilization, but was targeted by the local ruffian gang "Fire Scorpion Gang". Gang leader Ma Sanye coveted the treasure and set up a trap to kill him. Luo Chen was forced to reveal part of his abilities, disguised as a "remnant of the Calth civilization", and shocked the audience with sonic weapons. However, this move attracted the attention of the Federal Secret Service - the Kaos civilization was a taboo existence that became extinct thousands of years ago.
In order to protect himself, Luo Chen transformed into the "Orphan of Koth" and started a series of games with the Fire Scorpion Gang, federal agents, and interstellar hunters. He must create new vests and weave new lies in every crisis, so that he cannot be seen through and at the same time extract resources to strengthen the system. And when he discovered that there was a living fortress of Calth buried deep in the garbage star, the truth began to get out of control - it was not that he was pretending to be civilized, but that civilization was being reborn through him...
