Synopsis
In London 1851, the Industrial Revolution was in full swing, but the environment was deteriorating rapidly. Chinese businessman Xu Rongcun brought "Rongji Husi" to the first London World Expo. The pure and natural Chinese silk won two gold and silver medals in one fell swoop and became famous overseas. However, the arrogant British silk merchant Freestone I also exhibited silk produced by machines, thinking that he would win without a doubt. The loss of honor made him hate Chinese silk and vowed to be an enemy of the Xu family for generations.
More than 100 years later, a smart but flamboyant little boy named Hu Sizi appeared in Shanghai. He is a descendant of Xu Rongcun, but he disdains his family's silk business, but he is interested in robot models. In a competition, because he did not understand the importance of teamwork and friendship, he missed the opportunity to enter the top robot school and was extremely depressed. All this was used by Freestone IV in an attempt to destroy Chinese silk and rewrite the history of the 1851 World Expo.
The rewriting of history will destroy the Chinese silk civilization and bring disaster to mankind. When Hu Sizi learned the family secrets and Freestone IV's conspiracy from his grandfather, his kind and brave nature gradually emerged. He knew he had to take responsibility and correct his mistakes. So, Hu Sizi embarked on an adventure, fighting beasts, exploring ancient tombs, and searching for holy objects with all kinds of people.
