    This is my own hardcore interstellar science fiction book, my newest work. No systems, no cheat codes, no powerful backers, no fantasy, no time travel or reincarnation. Most of the technology is based on real-world mathematical, physical, chemical, and biological theories. Technological development is step-by-step, interstellar civilizations are scheming against each other, and it even touches on the philosophy of cosmic civilizations. This book aims to immerse the reader, focusing on vividly portraying characters' language, emotions, actions, and combat scenes. The logic is clear, and the technological progress is science fiction yet reasonable, allowing readers to unconsciously identify with the characters and experience the exhilarating feeling of waking up suddenly to find themselves surrounded by powerful beings. Highly recommended! Welcome to read and add to your bookshelf! A great new book needs your support!

    I recommend this book. It's a great sci-fi post-apocalyptic novel with a focus on technological development. It's currently updating with tens of thousands of words daily. The story begins with the Blood Moon event on the night of September 7, 2025, which triggers the inheritance of a remnant species from an advanced civilization. The alien invasion plot unfolds from the discovery of 'Oumuamua in 2017 and 3i/atlas in July 2025.

    A New Sci-Fi Perspective. Volume One Synopsis: This work is built upon a completely new cosmology. The protagonist, a college student, returns home for summer vacation and discovers an heirloom left by his deceased father—a super microscope capable of seeing spaces hundreds or even thousands of times smaller than atoms. He inadvertently discovers a group of microscopic intelligent beings in his girlfriend's lungs. Later, with the help of his "Atomic Physics" professor, he establishes contact with them. Their civilization is far more advanced than humanity's; they can transfer, store, and control brain consciousness. Their war nearly destroys the protagonist's girlfriend's body. During their interactions and battles, the protagonist is injured. Upon waking, he finds a copy of his father's brain consciousness within a meteorite left by his father. His father, who held the position of master among the microscopic intelligent beings within the meteorite, leads a large army to drive the protagonist and the microscopic intelligent beings within his girlfriend back into the black meteorite, thus averting a crisis. Volume Two Synopsis: Dongxu, working closely with his father, draws inspiration from the microscopic intelligent beings to improve the nation's battery technology, greatly enhancing its military strength and ultimately defeating the United States. They also achieved the technology of storing, transferring, and controlling brain consciousness in the human world, uniting and leading humanity into the age of interstellar exploration. During their interstellar travels, they discovered a quantum mirror planet of ultra-miniature intelligent life. When humanity finally reached the edge of the universe after countless hardships, they discovered that humanity's entire universe was actually a quantum mirror universe of humanity itself (an identical universe in a quantum entangled state, one dimension larger than humanity's own) containing a quantum mirror Earth, a three-year-old baby.
