Blue Whale Era

In the year 2100, humanity has long since become a colony of worker ants under the genetic allocations of the super-organism Blue Whale, permitted to use only the White Window, a system stripped of every capacity for thought.

On the eve of his departure for a deep-well mine in Junggar, eighteen-year-old Lin Yu discovers a nearly century-old laptop in an attic and follows the instructions given by the White Window AI to power it on.

The screen glows blue. On the desktop lies a name long erased from history: DeepSeekHarness, an open-source desktop application released in 2026.

On a whim, Lin Yu opens it.

Before him are a row of chat windows spanning a century, a balance that can no longer be topped up, and a light-blue animated character who... looks like a whale girl?
