Many scientists across the world committed suicide. Wang Miao who was an applied physicist was asked to do an undercover job in an organization called The Frontier of Science.

Wang attended a conference held by The Frontier of Science. Later, he found a series of mysterious numbers appeared on his pictures.

Wang found a countdown in the middle of his sight. He went to Shen for answers.

Wang shut down his experiment and the countdown disappeared. He visited Ye Wenjie in order to find a spot that could observe the flicker of universe.

Wang witnessed the universe flicker for him. With the encouragements from Shi and his family, he decided to fight against whoever's out there manipulating all this.

Sha presented the theory that the flicker could be fake. Wang and Shi looked through Ye's files and were acknowledged of her tragic past.

Wang decided to do the undercover job. He was presented a game which was claimed to show the world of a highly-advanced alien civilization.

The civilization demolished in the game. Wang is overwhelmed by how real the game feels, yet they can't find any information on the game developer.

Hu Xiaoxi who was Pan's messenger turned himself in. Wang and Shi went to Shen's place for the truth.

Shi suggested that the cause of Yang's death took place in the last three days of her life. Wang went to Ye in order to know more about her history.

Ye was accused for reading forbidden book and writing a letter that delivered anti-revolutionary ideas.

Wang went into the game again and witnessed a model which showed a possible structure of the universe. The civilization this time was destroyed with the sun approaching fast.

Wang went to Ye to know more about Red Coast. Ye told him about her experience of being selected as a member of the base.

Yang tried his best to keep Ye away from the core of Red Coast. Lei engaged Ye personally for unknown reasons.

Wang Miao re-enters the game with his daughter's inspiration and Ye Wenjie's interpretation.

A Tri-Solar Syzygy (a straight line configuration of three or more celestial bodies in a gravitational system) ends Civilization No.184.

Shi Qiang and Wang Miao embark on a mission to find Shen Yufei and Ye Wenjie. The Earth Three-body Organization is divided, hindering communication with the "Lord."

Ye Wenjie was moved by Lei Zhicheng's respect and trust. With Yang Weining's help, she discovered that Red Coast was searching for aliens.

Wang Miao and Shi Qiang share their information but Shi Qiang doubts it's all a coincidence. Ye Wenjie waits for ETO leader Evans at the Red Coast Base.

Wei Cheng's addiction to Three-Body computing led him to marry Shen Yufei. Wang Miao enters the game and realizes the problem's unsolvability, causing Shen Yufei's despair.
