Synopsis

The old scar on her palm is the last letter left to her by her mother Lin Qingtan, the heir to the last genetic poetry family on earth. When the silver-gray fleet of the Mars Assessment Agency descended over the canal and announced the exercise of "custody rights" over the earth, she learned that her mother had locked a non-human base sequence at the end of chromosome nine two years ago. That sequence is called the gray zone. It was planted into the Lin family's genes four hundred years ago, and into the primordial soup of the earth four billion years ago. The Martians are going to clear it out. Cover it with standard formats, obliterate it with escrow protocols, and use all cold machine logic to turn the living into dead, and the warm into replicable. Lin Qingtan refused to hand it over. She found her mother's complementary strand in the wild hyphae at the bottom of the canal, read her mother's body temperature in the roots of tuberose, and touched two words in the charcoal cracks on the third wall of the giant sequoia: don't kneel. She planted the green sandalwood tree left by her mother into the soil at the root layer. The seeds sprout and roots extend towards the rails at a rate of one millimeter per day. The vibrations of the rails were transmitted from the earth to the Kuiper Belt, and a sound was returned - back The Martian drill stopped at the entrance to the root layer. Countdown numbers danced in the corridors of the giant sequoia. Lin Qingtan hung the lamp on the door frame, squatted next to the green buds, and applied pheromones to the palms of her hands. "You are on your way back. I will wait. While waiting, the trees are growing, the lights are shining, and the road is there. The roots are there and will not spread." When the countdown reaches zero, will the person she is waiting for come back? This is a story about roots. About not kneeling. About a letter that took four billion years to be written and finally waited for someone to read it.

Genes are poetry, civilization is prison - hard-core science fiction "Star Destiny"
I am the author of Star Destiny. This book has undergone a complete overhaul - from a slow-burning family epic to a fast-paced hardcore science fiction that ignited from the beginning. What is the story? On the eve of the earth being "taken over" by Mars, Lin Qingtan, the last generation of "messenger" of the Lin family, activated a secret that had been hidden in genes for four hundred years. Her palms burn, her blood is ink, and she is a letter sent to deep space. The Mars Assessment Agency wants her, and so do the "Reapers" deep in the universe. She locked herself into genetic hibernation, leaving the truth and mission to two people who should be least trusted - a former technical officer who was so calm that he was almost cold, and a scavenger who was making his way through the deep space garbage dump. Why is it worth watching? 1. Original setting: "Gene Poetics" - bases are words, life is poetry. Reverse evolution, fertilization, mycelium network, furnace consciousness field... Are not just a bunch of terms, but a self-consistent and aesthetic worldview. 2. The rhythm is tight: Chapter 1: Resonance in the Ruins, Chapter 2: Escape from the Ark, Chapter 3: Melee at the Supply Depot, Chapter 4: Gene Dormant... Each chapter has a suspense hook, which is not watery. 3. The characters are thick: He Ming used a limiter to deliver information and said "she is crying" when his heart rate was 46 times; Yan Pozhen crawled in the pipe like a wild wolf, bringing back the "Poetry of the Origin" from the abyss. They are not tool people. 4. The heroine will not be offline all the time: Lin Qingtan's hibernation is required by the plot, not in name. She'll come back with answers and a knife. Who is it suitable for? Readers who like the tones of "Three-Body Problem", "Forgotten Southland", "Annihilation" and "Western World". Brain-burning, but not mystical; emotional, but not pretentious. A request This book is not a fun read. The first few chapters are densely set and require a little patience. But if you get through it, you'll find a different world.
