Features: In the future, nuclear war destroys the terrestrial ecosystem entirely. The remaining humans have genetically engineered themselves to resemble fish, adapting to an aquatic lifestyle while transforming the blue ocean into a red one to suit their underwater survival.

This science fiction epic is filled with fantastical imagination, spectacular yet tragic scenes, thrilling and suspenseful plots, mysterious and enigmatic content, rich in literary color, yet deeply imbued with profound philosophical thoughts. It carries significant realistic warning implications and represents a high level of contemporary Chinese science fiction creation.
