The Sea of ​​Yesterday

In the mid-1990s, Chinese scientific research was going through the pain of transformation. Lu Mingjiang, a talented but terminally ill biophysicist, firmly believes that consciousness is far more than neural electrical signals, and may be a unique "bioelectromagnetic field hologram". Under the double desperation situation of interrupted scientific research funding and running out of time, he conducted a desperate taboo experiment: modifying old equipment and using himself as the final sample, trying to capture and preserve the complete model of consciousness. The experiment produced strange data that was unprecedented and uninterpretable, and what followed was his sudden death. These data, which carried the last hope, were labeled "invalid" and were sealed in the dust in the basement of the research institute together with his dreams, sinking into the bottom of time. Nearly a century later, 22nd century neuroarchaeologist Elena Chen accidentally discovered this strange code from "ancient times" during a data mining. Using advanced technology from the future, she successfully awakens a consciousness trapped in the data stream - a broken and confused "ghost" from the past. "The Sea of ​​Yesterday" is a hard science fiction work that spans time and space. It tells the story of the fierce collision between an idealistic soul from the 1990s and the ethics of future science and technology. When the tragedies of the past become the hope of the future, and the forgotten "wrong" theory can actually solve the current crisis, people will eventually think about: Is the end of technology salvation, or is it another form of imprisonment? Is what we salvage a treasure of wisdom, or a soul of yesterday that should not be disturbed?
