First Appearance	77

Background

Ning Yifan developed the Super Sleep Device around Sleep Crystal, a red crystal that emits a frequency perceptible to humans and animals when exposed to specific electromagnetic wavebands. Living beings within its effective range can be induced into deep sleep. 77

The first units were manufactured on a fully automated production line. Thirteen ores and seven chemical raw materials were processed into Sleep Crystal; the crystal was laser-cut into fingernail-sized hexagons and installed into assembled devices before packaging. Ning Yifan tested ten random units from the initial batch without finding faults. 77

Shenma Technology Company publicly unveiled the device during a Mid-Autumn Festival livestream attended by more than 700 million viewers. It was presented as a product capable of indirectly extending human lifespan by reclaiming time otherwise spent asleep. 78 79

Appearance

The Super Sleep Device is a plain, cylindrical product with a pure-white casing and several top-mounted buttons. Its outward appearance resembles a household thermos cup or cylindrical Bluetooth speaker. 79

• Contains a red, hexagonal Sleep Crystal as its core component. 77
• Packaged in a white box with a charger and instruction manual. 77 81
• The internal Sleep Crystal is described as ruby-like when examined by foreign researchers. 83

Abilities & Functions

Deep-sleep induction

The device helps a sleepy, relaxed user enter deep sleep quickly and remain there for an extended period. 79

• Most users can enter deep sleep within five minutes under suitable conditions. 79
• Zhao Sanfeng entered deep sleep within approximately three minutes during a public first-use test. 81
• It is intended to improve sleep quality rather than merely shorten sleep duration. 79
• It can help users suffering from insomnia obtain restful sleep. 82

Sleep-duration reduction

By maximizing deep sleep, the device enables users to restore their energy with substantially less sleep than usual. 79

• Sleep duration can be set from ten minutes to four hours. 79
• Users commonly report remaining energetic after roughly four hours of sleep, gaining about four additional waking hours each day. 80 82
• Users may apply the saved time to work, study, exercise, or leisure. 81 88
• A foreign investigative team observed a user for half a month and concluded that he remained healthy and energetic while sleeping four hours per day. 83

Personalized sleep-wave operation

The device requires initial identity and sleep-wave registration before use. 81

• During first-time setup, the unit is held against the purchaser's forehead for about one minute to record a brain sleep-wave signature. 81
• It then emits sleep-wave frequencies tailored to that individual user. 81
• The device has little effect if the user is not sleepy or consciously resists drowsiness. 79
• It is designed for simple operation by both children and elderly users. 79

Technology

Sleep Crystal

Sleep Crystal is the device's essential functional material and main production cost. The remaining hardware primarily controls the crystal. 80

• Produced as red, fingernail-sized hexagonal inserts installed inside each unit. 77
• Foreign researchers identified it as a single-crystal material containing aluminum oxide, chromium, iron, titanium, manganese, vanadium, and unknown elements. 84
• It is highly resistant to impact, grinding, and high temperatures. 84
• Researchers could not reproduce its sleep-wave function or determine its formation conditions. 84

Intelligent control software

The device's software controls the Sleep Crystal and binds the unit to its authorized user. 81 84

• Its data becomes unreadable garbled code when its storage chip is accessed outside the device. 84
• Foreign researchers could not crack its logic architecture or make the Sleep Crystal function without Shenma Technology Company's software. 84
• The software enforces identity binding and disables the unit when taken outside Daxia Country during its initial domestic-only sales period. 83

Availability and Sales

Purchase restrictions

• Buyers must complete real-name verification. 80
• Each verified user may purchase only one unit. 80
• A device can only be activated and used by its registered purchaser; it cannot be transferred or lent out. 80
• Automated purchasing software and abnormal purchase-page activity can result in temporary or lifetime purchase bans. 80
• Children under ten were later barred from purchasing the device in Daxia Country. 89
• Overseas sales initially required authorization from Daxia Country and identity binding conducted in Daxia Country. 84 85

Story Role / Major Arcs

Domestic launch

The Super Sleep Device's announcement initially met skepticism, particularly over whether reduced sleep could harm the body. 78 80 Its 999-yuan price and immediate sellout transformed it into a nationwide phenomenon. 80

Early users, including factory worker Zhao Sanfeng, publicly demonstrated its effects. Zhao reported waking fully refreshed after an hour and a half of sleep, later improving his work output by fifteen percent. 81

Demand and production expansion

Positive user reports drove overwhelming demand, with devices disappearing immediately during daily sales. 82 A mass online petition and crowdfunding campaign called for expanded production; Shenma Technology Company subsequently promised a tenfold capacity increase and donated the raised funds to charity. 82

International scrutiny and release

Foreign governments, researchers, doctors, and wealthy individuals traveled to Daxia Country to verify the device. Their examinations found no apparent harm in the observed user, while attempts to reverse-engineer the Sleep Crystal and software failed. 83 84

After Daxia Country approved sales to selected nations, Shenma Technology Company opened international purchasing channels at an initial ten-million-yuan price point, targeting wealthy buyers while prioritizing domestic supply. 85 87 By the later international sales period, approximately three billion units had been sold worldwide. 91
