In 2242 AD, mankind ended the Dark Age of resource depletion and geographical division that lasted for hundreds of years. The Earth Federation's Tianzhou Telescope Array accidentally captured a vacuum rift in the universe, confirming that super-light stargate navigation is feasible, and the centuries-old interstellar voyage theory has been completely realized.
Humanity, once trapped in the cradle of the solar system, has opened the door to the Milky Way.
Poverty, weakness, and backward technology are the only labels for the earth's civilization that has just entered the star sea. In the vast galaxy, there are established interstellar empires that have lasted for thousands of years, oligarchic consortiums that control the order of the stars, interstellar pirates entrenched in the desolate star field, and abnormal civilizations hidden in the cracks of dimensions. The law of the law of the jungle is nakedly staged.
Lin Chen, a retired mecha soldier, holds the old starship blueprints left by his father's generation and sails out of the solar system on the first batch of human exploration starships. He witnessed the establishment of mankind's first alien colonial star, the humiliation of the first interstellar diplomacy, and the tragedy of the first cross-star war. He also led the broken, tough, and brave human civilization to grow wildly in the cracks of the giant game.
From the weak newcomers on the edge of the solar system to the interstellar newcomers that cantilever across the sky; from the low-level civilization that is at the mercy of others to the core force that formulates the new order of the galaxy.
This is the age of interstellar navigation that belongs to mankind. It is an epic journey for ordinary humans to go upstream, break through the shackles of the starry sea, and strive to reach the top of the galaxy with a small body!
