Features: Traditionally, the past is history, and yesterday is history. But Isaac Asimov was different. His Foundation series wrote about "the history of the future," "the history of a distant future," and "the history of tomorrow!" Asimov, this "historian of the future," this "American Sima Qian," used an "epic" brushstroke and the grand chapters of the Foundation series to narrate the dramatic and stories from the "Galactic Empire," from Foundation (often referred to simply as 'Foundation'), from the Second Foundation, and from that "Mule," offering the "history of the future" to readers in its fullest glory. Asimov's science fiction always introduced refreshing and fantastical elements, becoming a model for later science fiction. The reason why masters are masters lies in their ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary with a single stroke. His three great series—the Robot, Empire, and Foundation—each have their own "charm," and even now that we are very familiar with his works, we still cannot help but admire his creativity back then. The Second Foundation is the final installment in the Foundation trilogy. The existence of the mysterious Second Foundation becomes the target of everyone's focus. The Mule seeks to eliminate it, while the settlers of Foundation must find it for a completely different reason. But where exactly is it? This story is a legend of various factions searching for the Second Foundation. The Mule exhausts all efforts to find and eliminate the Second Foundation but fails. Subsequently, the Foundation people also go to great lengths to search for the Second Foundation, as they refuse to let the establishment of a new empire be handed over to others. No one expected that the clues of the search would be tied to a young girl. Thirteen-year-old Adeptia is terrified, but what secret about the Second Foundation did she actually discover?
