We May Become Stardust

In 2071, an astronomer discovered an abnormal signal in the core of the sun that should not exist. The sun is dying. At the same time, a stellar black hole is approaching. But a black hole isn't just a threat—it's also the only way out. If the Earth could be pushed into the right orbit, the black hole's gravitational slingshot could catapult the entire Earth out of the solar system. The price is: the moon must be split. Lin Yuan worked on this idea alone for twenty years and locked it in a tin box. His student Chen Qiu opened the box and spent the rest of his life turning his ideas into engineering plans—and then suffered the wrath of the world. The story spans five hundred years. From a person discovering an abnormal curve in the early morning, to the moon cracking open in silence; from a machine slowly learning to be confused, to a child asking his father "Which is the sun" in interstellar space? This is an epic about how human beings still choose to move forward in the face of certain death. "I don't know where you ended up. But the fact that you went is the best answer I can imagine."
