When tsunamis engulf skyscrapers, when civilization is reduced to an isolated island in a vast ocean, what is your only support?
In 2024, the apocalypse was not a prophecy, but a reality. In an era of nationwide revelry and entertainment to the death, no one heeded the warning from the deep sea. Only Su Mingzhou, an ordinary college student obsessed with maritime history, chose to believe in that one in ten thousand possibility, betting all his hopes on a 4-meter clean wooden boat on the Huangpu River—the "Seeking Truth".
A storm descends, and the city crumbles. As its former glory sinks beneath the water, the true struggle for survival begins. This is the ultimate paradox of the "Ship of Theseus": from a single piece of cedar wood to a single component, from a fishing net to an engine, Su Mingzhou, relying on the "Ark Project" stored in his mind, continuously repairs, transforms, and expands this dilapidated wooden ship. It will become a bulwark against the storms, a farm for producing food, a warship against pirates, and ultimately, a mobile city floating on the endless sea.
However, more turbulent than towering waves is the unpredictable nature of the human heart; more terrifying than deep-sea monsters is the conspiracy hidden beneath the ruins of civilization. When a ghostly Type 055 warship looms across the shipping lane, only the tip of the iceberg of the truth of the apocalypse is revealed.
After this restart of civilization was pressed, will humanity be the last piece of driftwood or the first piece of sinking stone?
Open this book and embark on a voyage with Su Mingzhou, searching for a course called "hope" in a vast sea of despair.
