The Eye of the Cosmos

At forty-two, Ye Mao was a genius in the international astronomical community, yet in the eyes of the world, he was an obsessive. He gave up a research career that had brought him both fame and fortune, sold everything he owned, and spent eight years building his own private spacecraft and its core detection instrument: the Eye of the Cosmos. He sought neither accolades nor empty fame. He only wanted to solve the ultimate cosmic mystery that had puzzled humanity for centuries, and so he set off alone for the uncharted depths of space. Through years of travel, loneliness and silence were his only companions. He pursued the secrets of the universe until he entered a dark purple nebula concealing deadly dangers. A violent surge of gravity struck without warning. The spacecraft he had built with his own hands disintegrated in an instant, and Ye Mao was swept into a temporal maelstrom, narrowly escaping a grave in the cosmic abyss. When he awoke, he was lying on a warm, millennium-old black energy stone, with eight solemn, silent physicians in black standing beside him. He endured a harrowing reconstruction. His internal organs were replaced, every cell in his body was separated and reassembled, and a mysterious chip was implanted in his brain. He awakened the AI Quantum Enigma System, which contained boundless power. The chip held an immense store of cosmic knowledge and was fluent in every human language in the universe. The Enigma System possessed mysterious abilities, including extraordinary computational power, energy manipulation, and threat detection. The astronomer he had once been was transformed, reborn through the flames. His spacecraft was destroyed and his way home was gone, but he now had even greater means to explore. The Eye of the Cosmos was lost forever. Now he himself had become a new pair of eyes, capable of seeing through the mysteries of the universe. Stranded in a strange, unfamiliar realm and facing unknown dangers and hidden secrets, Ye Mao put his past behind him. Fueled by an unquenchable resolve, he set out on a new journey to uncover the mysteries of the universe!
