Great Power: The Folding of Civilization

In 2045, China built the 'Tiangong' space station in the heavens and the 'Longgong' deep-sea base beneath the five oceans. Tiangong received a signal from deep space: 'You are not the first civilization. Nor will you be the last.' Then eight signals arrived in succession—the first five civilizations were destroyed by arrogance, laziness, division, fear, and forgetfulness. 'You are the ninth. What will destroy you?' Meanwhile, at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench, Longgong discovered a sunken underwater city. Carved in the city was a mural—Houyi shooting the suns. Ten suns, one archer, nine arrows. Myth is not myth; it is history. Aerospace engineer Cui Yuguang, to fulfill his father's last wish, descended from the heavens into the deep sea. He discovered that Tiangong and Longgong are the two ends of a 'civilization folding pod.' And the true purpose of the folding pod is not to explore the universe, but to answer ten ultimate questions.
