Above the High Heavens

"I don't care at all how the people in this world live, whether they are well-fed, whether they can dress warmly and live comfortably, or whether they have dreams and hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates."

"It's just that if I want to go to the heavens above, I need a complete advanced industrial system, a whole set of related research institutes, the most advanced materials science laboratory, and a large government that can coordinate all departments. It needs countless citizens who are well-fed and clothed to contribute their wealth for this, it needs millions of high-level intellectuals to contribute their minds for this, and tens of thousands of different supporting manufacturers to supply the best parts."

"In short, it needs a prosperous world, a great civilization to accomplish it."

A world reborn from ruins.

An era about to reach its end.

A group of prisoners fighting for power and profit on the land, battling for wealth and strength.

A young man gazing at the heavens.

Most prisoners look out from the window of fate, gazing at the mud.

Only one looks up at the stars.
