    A wildly imaginative story. Volume 1 Synopsis: This work is built upon a completely new universe. 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 accidentally 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 2 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.

    Sunflowers on the Cliff: Their most precious ability is to find joy within themselves. Deep within the rolling green hills lies a place called Valley of Peace and Joy. The valley is lush with vegetation, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, inhabited by all sorts of plants and trees, each growing at its own pace, their lives peaceful and idyllic. At the valley's entrance lies a fertile patch of land, home to peonies, roses, jasmine, and neatly trimmed holly bushes. The peonies are magnificent and elegant, their petals layered upon each other, their colors vibrant and dazzling. Every time the creatures of the valley pass by, they can't help but praise their beauty, declaring them the most beautiful flower in the valley. The roses, though thorny, bloom passionately and exuberantly, their rich fragrance always attracting butterflies and bees. The jasmine, small and white, has a delicate and elegant fragrance; at night, its aroma can fill half the valley, making it equally beloved. They are busy all day stretching their branches and leaves, meticulously adorning themselves, competing to see whose colors are more vibrant and whose fragrance is stronger, each striving to win more praise through their outstanding appearance. Not far from the fertile land, on a cliff face, grew an inconspicuous sunflower. It lacked the peony's grandeur, the rose's vibrancy, and the jasmine's fragrance. Its stem was thin, its petals ordinary, and it had nothing particularly striking about it. Rooted in a crevice in the cliff face, in barren soil with scarce nutrients, it swayed precariously in the wind and bent low in the rain, its plight far more difficult than that of the flowers and grasses in the fertile land. In the Valley of Peace also lived a group of large trees, busy sending their roots deep into the ground to draw nutrients: oak, pine, and birch. They tirelessly pushed their roots downwards and strived to grow upwards, determined to grow taller and thicker, to become towering trees, to provide themselves with a wider world, and to accumulate more resources for survival. They believed that only by growing tall enough could they withstand the wind and rain, gain a foothold, and truly achieve success. They never stopped growing, even when the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle, they only cared about growing, never looking up at the clouds on the horizon or listening to the wind in the forest. For a time, the creatures of Anle Valley were divided into two categories: one like peonies and roses, focused on adorning themselves and finding happiness in external praise; the other like towering trees, single-mindedly pursuing growth and seeking security by accumulating strength. Everyone was busy, either caring about others' opinions or fixated on external gains; few could quietly and genuinely feel happy. Only the sunflower on the cliff, regardless of its circumstances, always faced the sun, growing quietly. One day, a sudden storm swept through Anle Valley; large raindrops pelted down, and a fierce gale howled, instantly shattering the valley's tranquility. The peony in the fertile soil, pampered and carefree, was battered by the wind and rain. Its vibrant petals fell one by one, its branches snapped, and it lost its former splendor. It drooped its branches, weeping sadly, feeling that with its beauty gone, it had lost everything. The rose and jasmine were not spared either. Petals were knocked off, leaves bent, and seeing their disheveled state, they were melancholy and lost all their former pride. Even the trees that had struggled to grow, though their branches were thick and strong, their roots, though seemingly deep, could not withstand the tearing of the wind. Several trees were snapped in half by the gale, and the rest were blown about, leaves scattered on the ground. Looking at their damaged branches, they were filled with anxiety, fearing they would never grow tall again, their brows furrowed, sighing constantly. The entire Valley of Peace was shrouded in gloom; everyone was immersed in the blows of the wind and rain, unable to escape their dejected mood. The peony, looking at its broken petals, wept day and night, feeling that life had lost all meaning; the trees, looking at their damaged trunks, complained constantly about the injustice of fate, losing all will to grow. They had either lost their outward beauty or their purpose, instantly losing joy and plunging into endless suffering. Only the sunflower on the cliff, though bent low and with several petals knocked off in the storm, never bowed its head. After the storm, it slowly straightened its slender stem, immediately raising its face towards the rising sun. The peony below the cliff saw this and couldn't help but mock, "You've been battered like this by the wind and rain, what's there to be happy about? You have neither a beautiful appearance nor a sturdy trunk, growing your whole life in barren rock crevices, what makes you think you can be happy?" The sunflower gently swayed its branches and leaves, smiling as it replied, "In my entire life, I've never placed my happiness in whether I'm beautiful or have a sturdy trunk. Beauty fades, strength is thwarted, everything external is like this wind and rain, easily swept away. If happiness depends on others' praise or external gains, then once the wind and rain come, losing these things will mean the loss of all happiness." The pine tree beside it, hearing this, asked in bewilderment, "Then how can you be happy if you don't rely on these things?" The sunflower, gazing at the warm sun, slowly said, "The first thing I learned wasn't to desperately adorn myself, nor to relentlessly accumulate strength, but rather to have the ability to find joy no matter how fierce the storms. The wind and rain may knock off my petals, but I still have intact roots and can continue to grow; the gale may bend my branches, but I can still look up at the sun, feel its warmth, breathe the fresh air after the rain, and see the rainbow in the sky. That's enough to make me happy." It continued, "External things are never the foundation of happiness. No matter how beautifully you dress, your beauty will fade; no matter how much strength you accumulate, you will encounter setbacks. Life is like the growth of flowers and plants; we will always encounter storms, frost, and cold. No one can have a smooth life forever. All the external things we cling to can be lost in the storms. If we place our happiness in these external things, we will be led by the nose by them throughout our lives, happy when we gain them, and painful when we lose them, forever living in a state of anxiety and uncertainty." Days passed, and the sunflower continued to face the sun, growing freely. It didn't envy the peony's beauty, nor was it jealous of the tree's height. Even growing in a barren crack in the rock, even without anyone praising it, it found its own joy in the sunlight, the breeze, and the dew. The other flowers, plants, and trees in the Valley of Peace gradually understood this as well. The peony no longer focused on competing in beauty; even with petals less vibrant than before, it could still peacefully stretch its branches and leaves. The tree no longer anxiously grew; even with damaged branches, it could slowly repair itself and enjoy the nourishment of sunlight and rain. They finally understood that outward adornment is only temporary; the wealth and power desperately pursued are merely the foundation of life, never the source of happiness. Later, there were no more creatures in the Valley of Peace blindly comparing and pursuing. Everyone learned from the sunflower, first learning to make themselves happy. When storms came, they didn't complain or feel discouraged; when setbacks struck, they didn't lose heart or give up. Even in hardship, even with nothing, they could find warmth, beauty, and heartfelt joy in ordinary life. In this world, no life is without its trials and tribulations, and nothing remains unchanged forever. Beauty fades, wealth fluctuates, status changes, and all happiness gained from external sources is like a castle in the air, unable to withstand the slightest storm. In this life, we will encounter countless hardships and setbacks, experience loss and regret, and face disappointments and imperfections. What we should learn most throughout our lives is never to desperately earn money or to deliberately beautify ourselves, but rather to have the ability to find joy no matter how great the storms or difficulties we face. This ability is not about escaping reality or deceiving ourselves, but about inner strength and clarity. It's understanding that life has its ups and downs, its bitterness and sweetness; even in the depths of despair, we can still see the stars; even amidst storms, we can still hold onto the sunshine in our hearts. It's not relying on external approval, not clinging to material possessions; even without appreciation, even as ordinary people, we can still find joy and comfort in ourselves, maintaining optimism and happiness amidst the mundane details of daily life and the ebb and flow of life. Earning money is for a more stable life; dressing up is for personal comfort, but these are merely embellishments, not the foundation of happiness. True happiness comes from inner peace and open-mindedness; it's the ability to heal oneself and the courage to keep going with a smile, no matter what one encounters. May we all be like the sunflower on the cliff edge, unburdened by external circumstances, undisturbed by gains and losses, cultivating a strong inner self, possessing the ability to find joy, and remaining steadfast in our hearts even through storms, living a life of warmth and happiness. After all, the best state of life is never about how much you possess, but about facing everything with a smile, making ordinary days vibrant and fulfilling.
