Polar Equity: The Peaceful Seas Edition

In the year 5000, as Earth’s population surpasses 700 billion and crisis looms, the federal government and a corporate consortium sign the Millennium Accord. Officially, they are developing the polar regions to save humanity, but their real aim is to carry out the Ark Project, abandoning the vast majority of people. While investigating, the gifted analyst Yun Yan gradually discovers that what is being built beneath the ice is actually an engine for an interstellar escape. He joins forces with Lu Qingge, a chief scientist of mysterious origins who is actually a member of the resistance. As they expose Federal Speaker Nangong Jun’s betrayal and the corporations’ schemes, their differing ideals ultimately drive them apart: Lu Qingge chooses to seize the data and arm a revolution, while Yun Yan insists on revealing the truth to awaken the public. When the truth comes to light that the “Di Ting” AI System has been controlling the world, the federation collapses and corporations carve up the territories. Branded a traitor, Yun Yan activates the self-destruct sequence and dies alongside Nangong Jun. Deep beneath the Arctic ice, Lu Qingge successfully activates the “Ecological Ark,” carrying the seeds of civilization and bringing humanity its seven-trillionth dawn, a new hope for rebuilding amid the ruins.
