Wang Du (nickname Dudu) is an ordinary boy. One day, he discovers a hidden alien base beneath the old warehouse next to his school — Portal No. 8, Earth‘s secret station established by the Universal Space-Time Administration. Accidentally fusing with the “Space-Time Sprite,” a device that can detect illegal portals, he becomes the target of the “Brain Gang,” an evil alien poaching organization.
Just in time, three alien administrators come to his rescue: Bugica, cool-headed and strategic; Daboluo, a tech specialist who is timid yet gentle; and Sijinna, fearsome in appearance but soft-hearted inside. From that moment on, Dudu must take on the role of the Space-Time Sprite, leading his alien teammates on missions to investigate every illegal portal opened to Earth.
Their adventures take them from the Tianchi Lake on Changbai Mountain in Jilin, deep into the dense forests of Shennongjia in Hubei, across the Gobi Desert of Lop Nur in Xinjiang, and to the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. Mysterious creatures and unsolved enigmas await at every stop — from lake monsters and wild men to ancient civilizations. The history, culture, geography, and wildlife of every place they visit are all recorded in Dudu‘s “Travel Journal.” Young readers can revisit these fascinating facts after each adventure, reinforcing what they’ve learned about the world around them.
Meanwhile, the Brain Gang‘s sinister plans surface: for thousands of years, they have been smuggling alien creatures to Earth in exchange for gold, and now they have their eyes set on the entire planet.
