The Civil Engineer: Ten-to-Four at the Lunar Base
by 翰林院小李
In 2050, the era of grand space infrastructure arrives! Space elevators ascend, and the moon is fully automated for mining. Li Sansui, a 26-year-old civil engineering graduate student, seizes the opportunity to join the lunar base 'Guanghan City'. Expecting brutal 996 work hours, he instead enjoys a cushy 'ten-to-four' schedule due to radiation protection requirements. However, the rogue black hole HD-1 approaches, threatening to tear Earth apart with tidal forces. Facing humanity's despair, Li Sansui, bound with the 'Planetary Infrastructure System', checks his watch: 'What's the panic? As long as the funds are in place, I'll even seal the black hole with superconducting concrete!' While others build arks to flee, he and his crew handcraft planetary engines and gravitational wave antennas. While others focus on defense, he hollows out the moon to transform it into an ultimate 'gravity shield' against the black hole. As the Earth Alliance prepares for a last stand, they discover a hyper-dimensional containment network of megastructures already completed at the edge of the solar system. Facing the stunned global broadcast, Li Sansui pats the moon dust off his spacesuit: 'Wrap it up. Time to clock out.'
