[Urban Fantasy + Future Scrap + Cutting-Edge Tech + Industrial Rise + Light Suspense]
Chen Fang runs the junkyard his father left him and owes 870,000 yuan. At nine tomorrow morning, the property will be auctioned off by court order.
At midnight, a driverless, unlicensed garbage truck crashes through the iron gate and unloads a single discarded phone from the year 2046.
The phone has no signal, yet it is playing tomorrow afternoon’s breaking news:
[Explosion at Jiaheng New Energy leaves 39 dead.]
The first person on the list is Chen Fang’s younger sister.
Armed with a broken phone no one believes in, he rushes into the factory and changes the death toll from 39 to zero.
From that day on, every night at midnight, the garbage truck delivers an obsolete item from 2046. Safety batteries that the future recycles by the ton, decommissioned robots, discarded exoskeletons… In Chen Fang’s hands, they become cutting-edge technologies no one today can replicate.
With this “trash,” he saves the junkyard, builds Butian Technology, and brings a future that should never have existed into the present ahead of schedule.
Until the truck delivers a tombstone engraved with his name, and the phone simultaneously refreshes with a 2046 investigation file:
[Primary person responsible for the global shutdown: Chen Fang.]
Midnight is almost here again.
What will the future throw into his junkyard this time?
