Lost in the Mind's Mirror

In 2077, brain-computer integration technology enters a new era. The “Mind Mirror System,” developed under the leadership of neuroscientist Lin Yanni, makes a spectacular debut. It can turn human memories, dreams, and thoughts into visual images. Its original purpose is to find a way to treat Lin Yanni’s younger sister, Lin Yuelin, who suffers from severe PTSD.

The system’s medical trials are a resounding success, but Zhao Qiming, CEO of Qiyuan Technology, covets the enormous profits behind the technology. Ignoring ethical risks and technical flaws, he forces its expansion into criminal investigations, commercial intelligence gathering, and other fields. He even conspires with foreign powers, hoping to use control of the technology to seize power. The secret of a transnational terrorist attack hidden in Lin Yuelin’s memories also makes her the focus of competing factions.

Gu Xinghe, founder of the Xingqiong Group, covets the primordial energy of the universe behind superstring technology. He secretly plants spies and repeatedly sabotages the project, hoping to monopolize the technology and control the order of the stars. Shen Yan and chief engineer Ling Wei lead their team through the pressure, not only completing the ultimate verification of superstring theory but also building the “Starstring,” a spacetime ship that sets off for the six-dimensional space deep inside a black hole.

On their journey through the black hole, the team encounters “Echo,” a consciousness from the dawn of the universe. They unlock the ultimate secrets of spacetime’s evolution, but also face Gu Xinghe’s frenzied counterattack. A high-dimensional showdown that will decide the fate of human civilization begins. In the end, through courage and steadfast resolve, the team makes humanity’s ultimate choice about exploration, reverence, and coexistence.
