From Scavengers to Guardians of Civilization

In 2141, the "Great Silence" came - all silicon-based electronic devices in the world failed at the same time, and human civilization overnight Throwback to the age of steam. This is not an electromagnetic pulse, not a solar storm, but an unknown "rule coverage" - matter The principles and laws have been partially rewritten. Ten years later, the global population dropped sharply from 8 billion to 1.2 Billion, and the survivors lived in city-states. "Crack" - a stable passage leading to the "Broken Star Ring" in a different space. "Cemetery of Civilization" - There are countless ruins of ancient civilizations floating in the broken star ring. "Civilization heritage" can be embodied back into the real world. Thus, "Scavenger" was born. They risked their lives to enter the rift and bring back energy, materials, technology and knowledge to the city-state. In Dragon City (a city-state of survivors in East Asia), nineteen-year-old Chen Ji is the lowest apprentice in the scavenger union. Venture into an abandoned F-Class Rift - the outermost layer of the Seventh Watchmaker's Workshop. When he was about to die, something happened to his right eye - not ordinary visual enhancement, but the ability to see the "causal line" of the world: why gears rotate, how mechanisms are triggered, how traps are avoided, and how technology operates. This "all-knowing eye" allowed him to walk out of the workshop alive and brought back a complete cultural heritage - the "eternal clockwork". ... The real test of mankind is not how much heritage can be brought back from the ruins, but whether it can find a different path from the failures of those destroyed civilizations.
