Qin Mo, a retired hacker, lives in seclusion in the basement of the old city and creates an era of original retro game circuits.
In the near future, energy will be exhausted, the power grid will implement a quota system, and people's livelihood will be difficult.
The game appears to be a power simulator, but in fact it affects the real power supply through quantum entanglement.
He discovered the "reality mapping engine": a circuit built in the game that can generate miniature energy pathways in reality.
The first test caused a power outage in a neighboring building, and after repeating it three times, it was confirmed that the capability was real.
He was ridiculed for publishing his results anonymously, but was secretly targeted by Energy Bureau observer Han Xue.
Black market hackers raided the game system, and the data dealer "Grey Bird" revealed the traces of the undercurrent organization.
The Energy Bureau launched an investigation, and Qin Mo was forced to disclose part of the code, triggering a wave of widespread power outages.
Under double siege by the state and the black market, he must build a resistance alliance before being exposed.
A battle of wits about energy, freedom and technological sovereignty has quietly begun.
