In the 1980s, at the Beijing Institute of Geology, young Zhang Yishi accidentally obtained a black spar with strange physical properties, and was involved in the Soviet-related stigma that his mother, Ma Xueqin, had carried for twenty years. Partial archives and rumors from the turbulent years led everyone to believe that she was having an affair with experts and stealing mining standards.
Academic exchanges between China and the Soviet Union began, and Rusanov, who held the other half of the spar, came to China. The twin crystals tore apart time and space in the extreme vacuum environment, and his mind could go back to the past. Zhang saw with his own eyes that it was just an accident that happened unintentionally.
But the vision could not be reproduced, and the testimony was difficult to convince everyone. The ore is sealed by the state, and the path to redressing injustice is blocked. Zhang Yishi, who was obsessed with the matter, took advantage of open transnational academic channels to search for overseas physics experts, trying to confirm the anomalies of space and time with a complete mineral theory, and use science to unravel the ancient truth buried by the times.
