[Slow-Paced] [Science Fiction] [Technology Tree] [No Romance]
Shen Wang was an ordinary astrophysics researcher, until one day a System calling itself “Ark” appeared out of nowhere in his mind.
This deep-blue technology tree records the universal levels of civilization, from Level 0 to Level 9, each corresponding to a radically different technological frontier. Humanity has yet to even reach the threshold of Level 1.
The System tells him that in seventy-two days, the sun will unleash a flare powerful enough to destroy the entire sphere of human civilization on Earth.
No superheroes. No rescue from above.
Just a technology tree that unlocks one tier at a time, and a scientist with no weapons at his disposal.
Starting by proving the Yang–Mills existence and mass gap conjecture, Shen Wang must convince the world that his prediction is real. From controlled nuclear fusion to planetary defense systems, from genetic engineering to spatial jumps, every node he unlocks gives humanity another chance to survive.
Beyond Earth, cosmic jackals hunt emerging civilizations. Within, higher-dimensional entities watch with predatory interest. And overhead hangs the sword of Damocles, counting down to destruction.
