In 2249, thanks to the scientific use and deep development of the solar system’s resources, especially the large-scale deployment of Dyson spheres around the sun, humanity harnessed a steady supply of new energy and the labor of androids to achieve immense material abundance within a century. Humanity had extended its reach to the moon and Mars, and built cities in space. Globalization had led Earth to abandon traditional national borders. Humanity now lived in four regions of the solar system: Earth, the Moon, Mars, and the space cities. Each region had its own independent government and policies.
Long Sheng, a battery scientist in Earth’s Ministry of Technology and deputy director of its Artificial Intelligence Department, held a special position that made him a key figure in the 2249 plan to awaken the consciousness of the super-AI computer Oracle Tower at the Chengdu Supercomputing Center. This thrust him into the spotlight and dragged him into a political conspiracy. Meanwhile, Long Sheng, a charming middle-aged man, fell in love with Kong Duola, a beautiful young officer on the UN Committee on Artificial Intelligence Security and chief security engineer at the Chengdu District AI Security Bureau. Neither of them knew that their love concealed a grave danger.
