About This Novel

Introduction On the Earth in 2149, the once blue planet has long been shrouded in industrial waste gas and suspended particles. The cities have turned into rusty steel forests. The outer walls of skyscrapers are covered with dark brown rust plaques, like ugly scars on a giant. The smart suspension vehicle glides silently on the magnetic track. The old-fashioned fuel vehicles that occasionally pass by leave behind choking black smoke and harsh roars, causing pedestrians to avoid them. On the top floor of the "New Hope" scientific research center, core researcher Lin Chen overlooked the declining city. The fingertip optical brain terminal projected the complex data flow of the "Consciousness Upload" project, and red warning signs flashed continuously. This project aims to completely upload human consciousness to a mechanical carrier in order to escape the harsh living environment and continue civilization. However, the deeper the research went, the more difficult it became for Lin Chen to realize that human consciousness is far more fragile and elusive than imagined. At this time, a riot broke out in the "waste area" outside the city. In the news footage, a group of ragged people held up slogans such as "Give me back my flesh and blood" and "Reject the cold machinery" and violently clashed with the mechanical police. The scrap area is an area on the fringes of society, home to a large number of people who have failed in body modification or cannot afford mechanical prosthetics. Their existence cruelly reveals the class gap brought about by technological progress. Lin Chen returned to the core laboratory. On the experimental table lay the first humanoid mechanical body prepared for the "Ark" system. The silver-white alloy shell glowed with a cold luster. Assistant Xiao Zhang anxiously reported that the 73rd consciousness mapping experiment failed. After Lin Chen checked, he found that it was the "Ark" system responsible for simulating human "emotional factors"...
