Star Watcher

A hard science fiction novel set in 2157, it tells the story of the glory and darkness of human nature when faced with unprecedented interstellar opportunities. Quantum physicist Arya Nova accidentally received a mysterious dark matter signal from the edge of the Milky Way at a deep space monitoring station. The signal contained an unprecedented form of energy that was enough to solve the energy crisis of human civilization. After the news leaked, interstellar mining magnate Cain Solaris immediately moved to try to monopolize the discovery, hiring highly skilled former military hacker Rem Kronos to crack the signal's deep code. However, as the research deepens, Arya is shocked to find that this string of signals is not a natural phenomenon, but a friendly contact signal from Zeke Abyss, the messenger of the Abyss tribe, a highly developed unknown civilization. The Abyss has technology that surpasses humans for thousands of years, but they are facing a crisis of racial survival and hope to establish an alliance with humans to seek asylum. Interstellar diplomat Lila Vista works hard to maintain a balance between the forces, but greedy mining companies have sent armed fleets to the source of the signal in an attempt to control this mysterious civilization by force. Kane's ambition is not only to acquire technology, but also to use the Abyss as a new source of labor to recreate the dark chapter of colonialism in history.
