Silk Road Remnants: Three Thousand Years of the Western Regions Hidden in Silk

In the ancient city of Kashgar, Yersen, the last descendant of a silk-weaving family, witnessed an impossible thing at his grandfather's funeral - his grandfather's loom turned on its own without anyone operating it, and weaved a piece of Adelaide silk with strange patterns. Grandpa died with a piece of broken thread in his hand, and the pattern on the piece of silk did not belong to any known traditional pattern. Yersin began to trace the cause of his grandfather's death, but found that this piece of silk was a "key" - when he touched it, he could briefly "see" the memory of the weaver thousands of years ago. At the same time, strange comments written in ancient Kucha script began to appear in the barrage of his live broadcast of silk weaving, as if someone was transmitting information to him from a crack in time. From the bazaar in the ancient city of Kashgar to the underground passages in the Taklimakan Desert, from the echoes of the Tianshan Grand Canyon to the glacier-covered caves deep in the Tianshan Mountains, Yerson gradually uncovered a secret that spanned three thousand years: the ancient Westerners mastered an information storage technology using silk fibers as the carrier, and Grandpa's last piece of silk recorded a set of coordinates pointing to the "first city" - the starting point and the end point of all silk threads. But someone doesn't want the secret to be revealed.
