Winter of 2026, Mangshan, Luoyang. The tomb robber Fang San opened a large tomb with yellow intestines from the Western Han Dynasty. The tomb had been robbed by Cao Cao, and all the gold and bronze items were gone - but there was no shortage of jade items all over the floor. What's even more impossible is that the person in the coffin is still alive.
▎ He is a scholar from the sect of King Liu An of Huainan. He is not a liar seeking immortality, but an experimenter who uses empirical techniques to explore the physical nature of extra dimensions. He entered the tomb to test a device - the geometric structure of Huangchang Tizuo and the arrangement of the jades formed a passive space-time resonance cavity in the tomb, dilating time tens of thousands of times. He only closed his eyes for about ten days. I woke up two thousand years later.
Fang San just wanted to sell the jade to repay his father's debt. Song Zhiyi just wanted to escape from the abyss of debt collection. The Physics Group of the University of Science and Technology of China identified Mangshan Mountain from satellite gravity anomaly data. And the space-time curvature field leaking out of the tomb is spreading outwards - if it is not closed, the consequences will not only be the death of one person, but also a larger-scale causal rupture. The only person who knows how to shut it down has just woken up and hasn't had time to learn to speak modern Chinese.
▎Three timelines: A tomb robber, an alchemist, and a lieutenant under Cao Cao carved symbols that he should not have carved 1,800 years ago - the fate of the four people is strung together by a plain jade ring. The cross-section of the ring is an equilateral triangle, and the inner diameter of the ring is just enough to pass through a beam of Qi that was shot from the Western Han Dynasty to today.
Concept: "Qi is not metaphysics - it is the same set of physical realities described by the ancients in another language. Two thousand years later, we are still translating.
