Song of Man and Insect

A failed jump threw the insect swarm into the "real universe", and the fallen biological capsule created a carpet corridor on the earth. The city is fortified, and people's hearts are frozen in rationing and rumors. Jiang Li, a poor technician who made a living by dismantling old objects, dissected a thunder beast under the salt lake and took out a hardened "gastrolith" inside which lay a half-damaged engineering machine - SCV-Theta. The indicator light breathes in the darkness, like a beating heart. He has no weapons, just a wrench, salt powder and a parameter sheet. Using aluminum-air batteries and scrap coils, he built the "minimum available work station"; using foam, skeletons and spray paint, he planned to solidify the geothermal channel within the "90+30 minute window"; using a piece of "tool ethics convention", he refused to be completely swallowed up by the "legally incorporated" system and "soft goods lane" transactions. The black market handed over goods lanes valid for three days, the city defense updated the "requisition list", and the queen bee whispered "salt and wind" in her dream. Before stronger noise comes, Jiang Li and "Xita" must get the three arithmetic of energy, shielding and construction methods right - what lights up a well is not only the light, but also the order in which people still resemble people.
