Jincheng: Echoes of the Singularity
About This Novel
In 2147, Chengdu will become the world's top "brain-computer interface capital" and "quantum e-sports holy land". There are holographic pandas floating in the sky above Taikoo Li, nano-sensors floating in the tea bowls in People's Park, and the world's largest quantum computing cluster hidden in the Taoist temple in Qingcheng Mountain - all these may seem magical, but they are already daily life. But deep in the ancient Sanxingdui ruins, a scientific expedition team awakened something that shouldn't exist: a "mechanical device" that dates back more than three thousand years. Its internal structure is exactly the same as a quantum chip that may only be born in the next fifty years. The ancient Shu civilization may have never "died" - they just entered the next reincarnation in advance. The protagonist Chu Ge, a down-and-out e-sports player who lost his right arm in an accident but awakened the empathy ability of "bronze neurons", was forced to be involved in an adventure that spanned archeology, brain science, conspiracy theories and religious philosophy. He must lead a "grass team" composed of a talkative AI tour guide, an autistic genius girl, and a former special forces Taoist priest to find a balance between "fast technology" and "slow life" in Chengdu, and solve the "singularity paradox" left by the ancient Shu people - when civilization developed enough to create gods, gods chose to self-destruct. What is the purpose? At the same time, the world's largest e-sports league "Tianyuan Cup" moved its finals to Chengdu. Chu Ge was semi-coerced into wearing a neuromorphic exoskeleton, and with the dual identity of "disabled + ancient empath", he fought against professional players who used the latest quantum processors to enhance their neural circuits. Every move he makes is like the Sanxingdui bronze sacred tree sprouting again on the e-sports stage.
