Lone Star: 000

After reading it, I felt like I was thrown into a high-speed server, formatted and restarted. The author uses cold code language to write a fiery escape story: the heroine Xu Ling is not a savior, but a "BUG" who insists on her own way. She climbs up, removes patches, and changes constants, just to completely remove the identity of "experimented" from the universe. The novel setting of authority = combat power makes every battle feel like watching the underlying code fight; and the metaphors of "patch = copy" and "heartbeat = function" bring emotions into the compilable range - when Lin Yu's cry was written as a function and hung on the guitar, it was the first time I heard such clear tenderness in science fiction. There is no love in the novel, but it uses "friendship backup" to turn death into a reversible coroutine; there is no savior, but "000" becomes a blank that the system can never repair. Closing the book, a log prompt sounded in my ears: Error 000──Cannot be repaired, no need to repair, never return.

I chased it until four in the morning. After reading "Lone Star: 000", I just want to say: Stop shouting that "the heroine only talks about love", Xu Ling directly used the permissions to annotate "like" as redundant! Rusty snow, patched corpses, and a baby's heartbeat for 0.3 Seconds are written as functions and hung on the guitar - this is not science fiction, it is clearly a compilation of tenderness into poetry. The system wants to format friendship? The heroine backhandedly reworded "clear" into "guard", allowing the defenders to use the entropy reducing gun themselves. My nose hurts when I hear "Hello World" now. That's not code, it's the self-test of the grassy road. Thanks to the author for making me believe that no matter how cold the universe is, it cannot stop a bunch of "illegal variables" who want to survive.
