Transmigrating Through Eighteen Generations of Ancestors to Witness a Thousand Years of AI Frenzy

In the year 2999, the Temporal Sequence Administration was established, strictly prohibiting any time travel that might interfere with the historical timeline. However, a top-secret project called “Anchor of Civilization” was launched to record the epic development of key technologies from the perspective of a pure observer. I, “Dust Shadow,” a top-tier star among hard-science self-media creators, was chosen as its sole operative for my exceptional powers of observation and storytelling, as well as my absolute “zero-interference” record in simulated training. My mission: transmigrate to the era of my eighteenth-generation direct ancestors and use their lives as a starting point to document a thousand years of artificial intelligence, from its first beginnings to its explosive rise. My only equipment is a set of invisible nanodrones for recording and a wristwatch that can activate “Instant Return” in an emergency, but it has only enough energy for one use.
