Oasis of Tomorrow

Qimao pen name: YiyuanLL; pen name outside Qimao: Yiyuan

In 2335 by the Sha calendar, the residential districts of Shendu, once covered in greenery, are no more. Shendu is merely a microcosm of the global environment. Earth, which in the Gregorian calendar year had 90% of its surface covered by blue water, has become a desert planet with 90% of its land buried in yellow sand. Yet Earth's climate has hardly changed: the seasons remain distinct, and rainfall is plentiful. In some places, heavy summer rain can last for days, and looking up at the sky, one might expect a flood. Strangely, though, no matter how much rain falls, it dries up as soon as it hits the ground. From the crust through the mantle to the core, Earth seems to have become a giant sponge, greedily absorbing every drop of water and then evaporating it all. As space and time overlap, Bai Jingfan, a brain-computer science engineer living in 2030, discovers that future capital has turned his technological legacy into a tool of control. In collusion with alien forces, it is ruthlessly plundering Earth's water resources and pushing humanity to the brink of destruction. Bai Jingfan decides to join forces with like-minded companions and scientists from 300 years in the future to defeat the Fu family, which is using the power of an alien black stone to wreak havoc on Earth, and restore Earth's lush green landscapes and clear waters.
