Connections:

Both are characters from a game released in 2024.

Both are elderly characters with patient and wise personalities.

Both are depicted playing—and excelling at—an ancient board game (Lear is frequently shown playing Qiankun, while Solomon is constantly shown playing Chess).

Both have an interest in books and literature (Lear was interested in books during his youth in Penglai, and Solomon is interested in books such as Kelvin's adventure novels).

Both share the goal of maintaining the world's safety and preventing powerful forces from falling into the wrong hands (Lear seeks to stop the Jietong Empire and the use of Rhizomatic Energy, while Solomon aims to stop the Adversary and ensure that people do not abuse the gifts bestowed by the Patrons).

The Voyager Golden Record is 30 centimeters in diameter, and in the ARG video, it appears to be roughly the same size as the Shanhai 9000's head; comparing the Shanhai's head to Yi's in the game suggests a size of about 45 centimeters—equivalent to 0.45 meters or 1.47 feet.
