Introduction to "Chang'an Code: Whale Rising"
Li You, a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, fell into the winding path of time and space on the night of the Zhongyuan Dynasty and woke up in the cyber Chang'an of the 22nd century. Here, neon lights intersect with red buildings, drones dance and dance together, human memory has become a commodity that can be monopolized, and ancient poetry is the most dangerous weapon.
Li You discovered that the verses he recited could be turned into the key to cracking the torrent of data, and could also be forged into a sharp blade to cut through illusions. He is regarded as the "key" to salvation by the mysterious hacker organization "Mok Xing", and is also designated as a "virus" that must be eliminated by the "World Group" that controls everything.
In this battle for the survival of civilization, he meets Ling, a girl who is proficient in neural programming, and they embark on a dangerous journey together. They must face AI that devours poetry, giant corporations that distort history, and cultural ghosts that wander the data wasteland.
This is the ultimate adventure of Eastern cyberpunk - when Li Bai meets a prosthetic body, and when rhymed poetry becomes a code, what will the poet use as a sword, and how can he keep the last romance and fire for human civilization?
