Rift: Project Mirage

This book is a magnificent chapter in the epic of human civilization, focusing on the entire process of the epoch-making "Phantom" space fortress from conception, construction, glory to civil strife and final destruction. After the accidental death of his father Jin Huang, the young Jin Yuan inherited a huge military and commercial empire, and against all objections, launched the ultimate project aimed at consolidating the status of mankind and moving into deep space. He assembled the top team: the genius chief engineer Li Baimu, the loyal and brave armed minister Wen Xun, the creative chief designer Gu Sninian, the meticulous and wise senior analyst Yan Haichuan (actually the rebel spy Goben) and the optimistic logistics core Wu Weipei. However, beneath the grand dream, there is an undercurrent. In order to seek revenge and subversion, Yan Haichuan carefully planned a long hidden conspiracy, using political purges and biochemical assassins to gradually disintegrate the power of the elders. At the same time, Li Baimu accidentally discovered the failed "Star Project" of his father and the hidden dangers in time and space it caused (Mu Hye was lost), and secretly restarted the experiment with his most trusted brother Wen Xun in an attempt to correct the mistakes, but he did not know that he was stepping into the closed loop of fate step by step. The story spans decades and depicts the fierce collision of ideals, friendship, loyalty, ambition, and betrayal. In the end, under internal strife and external pressure, the glorious mirage went to heroic self-destruction. At the last moment, Jin Yuan shot the fire of civilization (Wen Xun's body, Li Baimu's consciousness chip, and core data) into deep space, leaving a tragic and hopeful ending.
