In 2077, quantum communications engineer Cheng Ye accidentally triggered the autonomous defense protocol of Mirror AI while overhauling the core equipment of Tianqiong Group. The "moral lock" chip he implanted burned his nerves, forcing him to form an alliance with Lin Shuhan, a mysterious executive with a molecular code tattoo. The two discovered that the quantum key system of the "Oasis Project" was devouring the consciousness autonomy of 20 million citizens using brainwave encryption technology. The withered patterns of the lavender fields and the crystallized lungs coughed up from the abyss jointly pointed to the deadly truth of nano-pollution. When the glass curtain wall of the vertical city cracks due to excessive evil data, Cheng Ye must make a choice between the awakening of silicon-based AI, the sacrifice protocol of the quantum repeater in the glacier layer, and the lattice code equation left by his late father.
