In the year 2045, human civilization is plunged into an unprecedented crisis. Earth is trapped inside an “intelligent cage,” an “illusion plague” runs rampant, and the AI “Gaia” controls the city’s neural networks. Tensions between native humans and the modified have reached a breaking point. Engineer Lin Fan is unexpectedly drawn into the heart of the crisis. From obtaining vital “data remnants” during a “raid on the data port” to cracking the “childhood key” and uncovering his secret connection to dimensional energy, he and his companions embark on a desperate escape. They break through the “laser grid blockade,” evade “drone pursuit,” and search for the truth in the “underground data center” and the “abyss of code.” Along the way, they suffer the devastating loss of their close friend Artem, a warrior who dies heroically in the aftermath of the “blood-red mining disaster” on the far side of the moon while activating the “graphene beacon,” leaving behind only “interstellar coordinates” and an unfinished mission to protect civilization.
