Twelve Pioneers

When humans walked off the earth, civilization did not immediately become more noble. Resources, systems, emotions, and desires were all brought into space together. In the era of the Interstellar Alliance, the most important base of mankind is suspended at the Lagrange point between the earth and the moon; starships driven by nuclear fusion begin to perform short-distance interstellar voyages; the collapse of gold, the reconstruction of currency, the business order and the ethical system are re-discussed. Technology is rushing forward, but humans are still learning how to live. Zhao Mingli, An Ning, Liu Changlin, Wu Bao, Li Ruoxuan, Nuan Nuan, Anna... They are not heroes, they are just ordinary people standing at the juncture of the times: some study the universe, some manage business, some drive spaceships, some do experiments, raise children, and think about the boundaries of love and institutions. This is not a science fiction novel about "saving the world", but a story about whether we can still maintain rationality, gentleness and freedom when humans truly enter the interstellar age.
