The 1960 version of the body has an allergic reaction to cornmeal (an important survival crisis) 3. The military compass left by his father has a hidden secret (pointing to third-line construction secrets) **Narrative features:** - Two lines of progress: the investigation of the truth of modern car accidents and the history of struggle alternately flash through - Detailed research: authentically restore the "incremental method" grain weighing techniques and food substitute production techniques of the 1960s - Special imagery: recurring plantains (both a life-saving wild vegetable and a modern green belt plant) **Core conflict:** Find a balance between the planned economy and survival instinct, use market economy thinking to solve the dilemma of the ticket era, and at the same time protect the bottom line of modern civilization (such as refusing to make Guanyin clay biscuits).
