The South Heaven Gate Project: A Test of Civilization

During our country’s first crewed lunar landing mission, an alien base was discovered on the far side of the Moon, yielding a wealth of advanced extraterrestrial technology. But when the base was activated, the coordinates of the Solar System were exposed to the depths of space. An unknown cosmic catastrophe would arrive in twenty years. Aerospace engineer Lin Yuanhang was entrusted with a mission at a critical moment: launch the “South Heavenly Gate Project,” using a science-fiction franchise as its cover to bring the Luan Bird aerospace platform and planetary defense system into reality. But the immense scale of the project, astronomical costs, and obstacle after obstacle in the real world soon followed. Ten years later, the Luan Bird made its maiden flight. Its four engines crashed into an urban district under the gaze of the whole world. Lin took full responsibility and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. But the real game had only just begun on the day he entered prison. Can he accomplish his goal before disaster strikes? And how can humanity defeat the unknown catastrophe from the depths of space?
