Disguised as a scientific account, the novel tells the story of how the Magnum Opus of the alchemists had been found twice, first by a true adept who was seeking spiritual fulfilment on his tedious road to the enlightenment by the true and eternal sun, and then, by an opportunist who found his financial freedom thanks to the adept's testament and a faultless Sun computer. The story ends with an encounter of the two leading characters, an atomic explosion, and a gargantuan laughter.
