The origin of his creation can be traced back to Lao Zhang's childhood, when he was a child, he was fascinated by sci-fi films and games, longing to build a futuristic world of his own. In his B-site content, we often see some very national style named spacecraft, robots and planets, such as "Houyi", "Roaring Sky", "Houtu" and so on, which is inspired by the Chinese aerospace equipment with the name of a household name. This is inspired by the fact that Chinese aerospace equipment is named after household names, and these elements are derived from Chinese traditions, reflecting the author's affection for Chinese culture.
