An adventure in a scrap pile, a window to the depths of the universe. Li Xiaoyu, a second-year junior high school girl, found a documentary script that was criticized as "absurd" among old manuscript papers: "A Brief History of Silicon-Based Life." Driven by curiosity, she fell into a world that subverted her knowledge. What kind of world was it? Under the weak constant light of the red dwarf star, time almost stands still: in one year here, human civilization has gone through great changes. Is the methane sea at minus 180°C the cradle? Hot lava is swaddling clothes? Is highly toxic acid mist a paradise? The crystal forest grows slowly, the lava machine reorganizes the body, and the acid mist jellyfish floats gracefully in the sky: witness the miracle of life beyond flesh and blood - using rocks as bones, sulfur as blood, and starlight as food. Silicon-based life was born in an extreme hotbed, and every trajectory is completely different from ours. So we followed Xiaoyu's unexpected discovery, redefined "life", walked into the silicon-based world, and listened to the new chapter of the universe written by lattice vibration, lava flow, and electric current buzzing. An accident opened a window and revealed the infinite possibilities of the universe.
