In 2026, Chen Su, an ordinary engineering college student, was halfway through his graduation project when his consciousness was thrown back to Nanyang Beach in 1988.
There is an AI in his mind, which claims to be from one hundred and twenty years in the future and was created by him.
The database is soaked in water, historical details are mushy, and technical information needs to be unlocked—but the big things are still remembered.
The first thing: salvage a ship that has sunk for eight hundred years and exchange it for the first pot of gold.
The second thing: go to Kiev before the collapse of the Soviet Union and dig two thousand rocket engineers.
The third thing: build a city in Southeast Asia so that the whole world cannot live without it.
From a salvage ship owner to a space empire, from tens of ringgit to controlling global energy——
Chen Su said: "I don't want to rule anyone, I just want to keep human beings trapped on this planet."
As for the kid who had been following him since day one, with his hand always on his chest?
That's another story.
