In the 1970s at Kaoshan Tun, forest ranger Chen Beishan is in a predicament with his elderly mother falling ill and his younger sister struggling through school. After being severely bullied and injured by a village tyrant, he awakens an eye-tracking system, utilizes trace-tracking abilities to expose illegal logging misdeeds, and overcomes various survival crises. He bravely fights against village tyrant ruffians and transnational poaching forces, guarding the safety of villagers and neighbors. He uncovers a Japanese-left arsenal, establishes a security team, takes in disabled retired veterans and disaster-stricken starving refugees, and builds the Red Star Base. Relying on technology and wisdom to develop agriculture and forestry production and run hydropower, he leads everyone to reclaim wasteland and improve the lives of the common people. Facing high positions, generous salaries, and lucrative marriage solicitations, he is not moved by personal prospects.
