Welcome to The Worlds of Cixin Liu, a series of graphic novels created by 35 artists – including writers, illustrators, and colorists – from 13 countries, to salute the unique imagination of China's science fiction grandmaster. Bombs fall through the night sky, and the city of Belgrade burns. Its citizens huddle in basements, terrified for their lives. In the heart of the city, two men keep watch from a rooftop. But they are not afraid. For they have a plan.

Scientist Aleksandar has developed a program that can trigger major atmospheric change across the world – and he needs his friend Reznik's help to run it. If they can find the right point, Aleksandar believes they might trigger a change powerful enough to disrupt the destruction of his country. Like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings can create hurricanes at thousands of miles of distance, Aleksandar's actions will have far-reaching repercussions. But will they be enough?

Aleksandar and Reznik are two scientists who have been working on a top-secret project for years. They have developed a program that can manipulate the atmosphere and cause catastrophic weather events around the world. They believe that if they can find the right point, they can trigger a change powerful enough to disrupt the destruction of Aleksandar's country.

However, their plan is not without risks. The program is extremely powerful and could have unintended consequences, such as causing a global climate catastrophe or even starting a war. Aleksandar and Reznik are aware of the dangers and are willing to take them to save their country.

As they continue their search for the right point, Aleksandar and Reznik face many challenges. They must navigate a complex web of political and military interests, as well as avoid detection by the authorities. They also must deal with the moral implications of their actions, as they are essentially playing with the fate of the world.

Despite the risks, Aleksandar and Reznik are determined to succeed. They have devoted their lives to this project and will not give up until they have achieved their goal. They know that their actions will have far-reaching repercussions, but they also believe that they are doing the right thing.

In the end, Aleksandar and Reznik's plan succeeds. They trigger a change in the atmosphere that disrupts the destruction of Aleksandar's country. The world is left in awe of their incredible achievement, and Aleksandar and Reznik are hailed as heroes. However, they also know that their work is far from over. The world is still facing many challenges, and they will continue to work tirelessly to make a positive impact on the world.

In conclusion, The Worlds of Cixin Liu is a series of graphic novels that explores the unique imagination of China's science fiction grandmaster.
