Introduction to Ball Lightning:

On a strange rainy night, a ball of lightning entered the boy's field of vision. Its whistle was deep but sharp, like a ghost playing the xiao in the ancient wasteland.

When the ghost finished playing the music, ball lightning turned the boy's parents into ashes in an instant, but the bench under them was miraculously cold.

That night, the boy's fate was completely changed, and he will spend his whole life trying to unravel the natural mystery that turned him into an orphan.

But he never imagined that many years later, the pure natural science research would be incorporated into the "new concept weapon" development plan, and the ball lightning he was pursuing would become the ultimate weapon that would determine the survival or destruction of the motherland in the next war!

When the great power of nature imprisoned in the ultimate weapon was released, a cold "blue sun" rose over the Gobi Desert in the west. The entire Gobi Desert was submerged in its blue light, and the world became strange and weird.

A future that no one has ever imagined is coming to humanity under the gaze of cosmic observers...
