On the eve of the Beijiao Cryogenic Materials Center being demolished, cryogenics engineer Shen Yan conducted a final bending experiment with an old ice sample mixed with salt. The oscilloscope suddenly exploded, the entire park lost power, and a blue arc appeared inside the ice sheet that should not exist. Everyone thought it was just an equipment failure, but Shen Yan discovered that the size of the current was related to the bending direction of the ice, the freezing speed and the salt veins. What's even weirder is that ice "remembers" its shape when it was first frozen. Even if it melts and refreezes, it will still release energy in the original direction.
When this technology was proven to be able to drive cities, deep-sea equipment and polar bases, Shen Yan thought he had found a new energy source for mankind, but found deep in the data that the Earth's ice had preserved abnormal charges for tens of thousands of years. Some people want to use it to solve the energy crisis, some want to turn it into the quietest weapon, and some are trying to erase this discovery.
From a cold storage with a blackout to a global ice energy network, Shen Yan must make a choice between scientific breakthroughs, capital competition, polar disasters and human ethics. The moment the ice truly bends, it may change not just energy, but the way humans understand the world.
Purpose: Technology is not a miracle. What really changes the world is people who are still willing to bear the consequences in the face of the unknown.
