I Light up the Sun in the Wasteland

When all mankind is addicted to the eternal dream of the metaverse, the energy cornerstone of reality quietly collapses. The world fell into darkness and civilization was reduced to an exquisite automated tomb. Lin Qi, a physicist who was exiled for predicting the energy crisis, woke up from the virtual "fairy world" and found that he had become the last "useless person" in the ruins. He wandered into the forgotten industrial wasteland and met several "living fossils" who were also abandoned by the times: a stubborn old craftsman guarding the remaining manuscripts of fusion materials, a rogue engineer who could make anything out of scrap iron, and a mysterious hacker hiding deep in the data ruins. They had no food, no weapons, just a pile of rusty parts, a few yellowed manuscripts, and a formula that was ridiculed by the old times. ——They want to rub a sun with their hands on this steel tomb.
