It was a winter morning in 2089. Last night's heavy snowfall had blanketed the outside world in a thick layer of snow, transforming it into a pristine, white landscape. Through the window, it was astonishing to see that the Earthlings of this era seemed unbothered by the cold. In the dense mist, young and beautiful women dressed elegantly, while handsome young men appeared vibrant and full of life, all seemingly unaffected by the chilly weather, wearing summer attire. This was indeed a snapshot of how Earthlings had transitioned from the Silicon Age to the Graphene Age.
Professor Du Yuesheng gazed out at the scenery. Approaching his sixties, his hair had already turned gray. He had dedicated most of his life to studying Maya civilization. Since last month, when his old friend Professor Lin Sen informed him that the exquisite decorative cube he entrusted to him had shown promise, he had been eagerly anticipating news. It was not some magical ceremonial artifact or divine object from the Maya; it might be a type of Graphene Memory Storage that could contain historical records or events from Maya civilization unknown to Earthlings.
His old friend Professor Lin Sen said, "Through this Graphene cube, Earthlings will be able to study and understand Maya civilization, uncovering the history of its rise and fall and solving the mystery of its disappearance. This is a significant discovery in Earthling history."
This good news had excited him for several weeks, and he couldn't stop thinking about it.
Once again, it was another Monday filled with patient waiting.
Early in the morning, he stood by the window, waiting for his old friend Professor Lin Sen, a seasoned expert in electronic technology research, to crack open a decorative graphite storage cube and bring him good news. He silently hoped for a grand surprise from his friend.
Speaking of this Graphene decorative item, there was an interesting story behind it. As an expert specializing in Maya civilization research, Professor Du Yuesheng frequently traveled to tropical jungles in Mexico and Guatemala for archaeological studies.
Last summer, during an excavation at the Kairouka Astronomical Observation Tower in an ancient Maya city ruin, he inadvertently discovered an inconspicuous Stone Chest that had been unearthed by heavy rain erosion near the observation tower. Archaeologists deciphered the Mayan Glyphs next to the Stone Chest and opened this marvelous container.
However, puzzlingly, inside the large Stone Chest was only a beautifully crafted box; everything else was protective filling material unknown to Earthlings. The patterns on this exquisite box were unlike anything seen before by Earthlings; at first glance, they resembled a refined version of the simplified Sphinx design.
Despite being buried underground for thousands of years, once excavated, the beautiful box still gleamed as if new, its colors vibrant and striking. The box itself had undergone special protective treatment, so archaeologists did not need to take any conservation measures for it.
Nonetheless, experts treated it with utmost care as a top-tier artifact. The material of the box was astonishing—metallic yet non-metallic and as light as a sponge—its composition remained a mystery. The box was sealed tightly and could not be opened easily; one could only imagine that whatever lay inside must be priceless treasures.
However, unexpectedly, after finding an expert to open the box and peeling away the layers of wrapping that resembled paper, it was disappointing to discover that the box contained only a decorative cube slightly larger than a coin, with a small hole in it through which a thin golden chain was threaded. Most people thought this was just an ordinary Maya decorative necklace.
What exactly is this mysterious cube? Professor Du Yuesheng did not think so: "Since it is placed in a specialized Stone Chest and protected by an exquisite box, it must be something extraordinary."
Professor Du Yuesheng first thought of ancient sacrificial artifacts, but the cube's decorations and structure could not convincingly explain that it was an artifact.
The decorative cube seemed soft, resembling an ordinary rubber decoration, but not entirely; it could bend yet had considerable toughness, as ordinary sharp objects like human knives seemed ineffective against it.
After repeated studies for some time, he could not determine what it actually was. If it were to be kept in a museum for everyone to admire and study, it felt inappropriate, almost like wasting a treasure. In his dilemma, Professor Du Yuesheng chose to publish photos of it in an academic report, seeking assistance from various research forces; he wanted to use everyone's wisdom to identify what this object truly was.
Months passed, and ultimately, it was his old friend, electronic technology research expert Professor Lin Sen, who discovered from the perspective of electronic research that this decorative cube was related to electronic products.
When his old friend confidently told him that the decorative cube was a Graphene Memory Storage, he repeatedly questioned in his mind: "Is Maya crazy? Is a Graphene Storage Device worth such storage?" He hoped that Professor Lin Sen would soon unveil this secret.
