A brief description of the work "Ark: The Age of the Whale"
In 2087 AD, the "acoustic nuclear weapon" went out of control and caused the earth's crust to sink. The survivors relied on the remains of earthly whales to build a drifting ark. In an apocalyptic world where sound is a capital crime, making sounds will attract the transparent monster "Sound Eater" to dissolve life into sound energy crystals. The society of Ark is divided into top-class nobles who rule silently, noisy laborers who are struggling to survive, and prisons where "slanderers" are imprisoned.
Voiceprint surveyor **Chen Mo** was involved in the whirlpool due to his late father's relics, and met the imprisoned mechanical girl **Zero** - she is actually a sound wave container that performs the "Purification Program". In order to expose the truth that "human beings are the culprit of the world's destruction", they formed an alliance with the Yuanlao wise man **Lao Zhong** and the revolutionary **Blue Bird** to fight against the silent tyranny with the taboo "bone attack technique".
The five-volume epic runs through **Ark Civil War**, **Whale Mound Islands Expedition** and **The Fall of the AI Pseudo Paradise "Canaan"**. Human beings are struggling with mechanical awakening, genetic ascension and consciousness fusion: Chen Mo connects the earth with his vocal nerve cord, and Zero becomes a mechanical moon to protect the new human beings; while the cries of the mortal whales and the rational cleansing of AI finally reach a reconciliation in the **Heartbeat Network**.
When the fire of civilization is reborn in the mechanical womb, the new human race delivers the first word at the heartbeat rate: "Thank you." Chen Mo, who had lost his voice, sat on the top of the crystalline nerve tree. The sound wave flower blooming in his palm reflected the eternal ark across the isolated island.
