With the countdown to the earth's demise, Cheng Lan fled into deep space with humanity's last starship. The fuel had bottomed out, the ammunition had returned to zero, and an unknown civilization was waiting outside the ship.
Everyone thought the ship was a coffin, until Cheng Lan unlocked "Memory Echo" - he could absorb the combat instincts of past captains and restore the lost Star Destroyer technology from the fragments.
While the alien hunters were still toying with their prey, Cheng Lan had quietly rolled out the anti-hunting matrix. Interstellar hegemony, genetic evolution, Dyson Cloud Fleet... He wants this shabby starship to grow into a top-notch civilization across the galaxy.
