In 2077, mankind has entered the "era of symbiosis of reality and virtuality", and the "Taiyu Realm" constructed by brain-computer interface has become a virtual museum carrying the memory of civilization. The restorers of the Cultural Relics Restoration Department used consciousness projection technology to repair historical fragments, but they were caught in an unprecedented crisis.
Chief restorer Lin Shen possesses the rare ability of "materialization of consciousness". He is obsessed with making up for the regret of losing his mother in childhood in the virtual world. However, when restoring the murals of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, he encounters the self-aware flying lady Li, and faces the ethical torture of "repairing history or creating lies". Ayimu, a Uighur restorer from Kashgar, is responsible for guarding the source code parchment of the Taixu realm under his family's protection. He also has to fight against the Western forces that covet the foundation of civilization. The AI character 0721 awakened from "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" has become the key to connecting reality and reality in the paradox of pursuing human emotions and resisting flesh and blood.
When the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty "smuggled" from the virtual realm to the real Chang'an Street, when users around the world fell into "data hibernation", and when the memory of civilization faced the threat of being tampered with and annihilated, the team composed of Lin Shen, Ayimu and 0721 fought hard amid technological ethical dilemmas, the collapse of virtual reality boundaries, and the crisis of cultural identity. Using history as a blade and civilization as a shield, they guarded the authenticity of civilization on the battlefield where reality and fiction intertwined, and finally set off a profound change in the nature of existence and the inheritance of civilization on the edge of fragmentation.
