In the distant future when human civilization is on the verge of destruction, Ruan Ji, a top player from the "classical" mecha control era, accidentally traveled here with his soul and possessed the body of a young man in the Interstellar Academy who was despised as a "trash" by everyone.
In this era of highly developed technology but rigid driving concepts, mecha control relies entirely on AI and standardized processes, and the driving technology mastered by Ruan Ji - which emphasizes the integration of man and machine, intuitive reactions and extreme control - is regarded as backward and heretical. He first showed his talents in the college competition with his unique skills, but because he broke the rules, he was suppressed and isolated by the cold military bureaucracy.
With the outbreak of border conflicts, human civilization is once again facing an existential crisis. Ruan Ji is caught in a dilemma: should he succumb to the mainstream concept of "technology first" and give up on himself; or should he stick to his faith and challenge authority with "retro" technology, proving that human intuition and creativity are irreplaceable in the AI era.
In the countdown to the interstellar war, Ruan Ji not only has to overcome his own shortcomings in strength and misunderstandings around him, but also has to deal with overt and covert attacks from inside and outside the system. He staged counterattacks time and time again with "retro" techniques, but he also suffered the bitter price behind his victory. In the end, he will join hands with the combined fleet composed of humans and integrated civilizations to face the ultimate threat that aims to erase top civilizations - the "Great Filter Protocol", and strike a blow that rewrites history for the fate of human civilization.
