In 2035, red tide engulfed the seventh coastal city. When marine biologist Lin Shen dissected the mutated octopus, he discovered that its genetic chain was embedded with the binding gold wires of the Ming Dynasty's "Hai Cuo Map" - these metals were being woven in the laboratory into a four-hundred-year-old coastal defense map. At the same time, ancient book restorer Shen Qingwu was cut on her wrist by a suddenly resurrected mulberry paper while rescuing documents from Zheng He's treasure ship. DNA testing showed that her blood contained telomerase from deep-sea tubeworms.
When Lin Shen used a mass spectrometer to analyze the pigments in ancient books, and Shen Qingwu used a repair knife to dismantle the genetic map, the two souls alienated by scientific research were forced to join forces: the fluorescent trench mark on Lin Shen's chest was quantumly entangled with the Qing Dynasty tidal observation records that Shen Qingwu had repaired; and the knot scar that appeared in the moonlight on Shen Qingwu's collarbone turned out to be the biological key to unlock the symbiotic gene library left by Lin Shen's mother.
In the liquid nitrogen chamber of the Mirage Research Institute, they found their mother's body soaked in Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain - these two scientists who "died in the line of duty" thirty years ago were actually the first-generation experimental subjects of the space-time anchor project that has continued from the Wanli period to the present day. The red tide that occurs every 49 years is not a natural disaster, but a bloody process by the immortals to reset the ecosystem with symbiotic corals. What's even more cruel is that Lin Shen's PTSD onset curve and Shen Qingwu's ancient book restoration records are the dynamic passwords that started this purge.
From the fluorescent skeleton array in the Arctic Evernight Church to the living archives underground in the Municipal Library, they touched taboos in their pursuit: they used the "gold inlaid jade" technique of the Song Dynasty to repair each other's broken telomeres, and rewritten the gene editing instructions with the rhythmic rules of "Yongle Dadian". When Lin Shen inserted the anglerfish ring into Shen Qingwu's heart valve to complete the final link of the symbiote, they heard the truth conveyed by mothers using tidal frequency on the ruins of four hundred years of conspiracy - "Love is the only variable that breaks through the light cone."
