The 100-year "Intelligent Brain Era" of the New Year: Genting District relies on "neural interaction chips" to control holographic homes with consciousness, and smart housekeepers arrange life; Rust Belt District dismantles discarded equipment to extract "energy crystals" for power supply, and competes for heaters in the cold winter. "Neural interaction chips" have become standard equipment in the Central District. The bottom class of the Rust Belt has been labeled as "low adaptors" due to their rejection of transformation. They have to pay "technical adaptation fees" for medical treatment. Technology has created class shackles of "data barriers" and "technical privileges".
Three major alliances are confronting each other: the East China Sea Alliance (led by East Asia, technological pragmatists), the Atlantic Community (joined by Europe and the United States, capital controls technology), and the Pan-African Intelligent Network (anti-tech monopoly). "Mingxi City", the core of the East China Sea Alliance, is a smart model city. The Lin family uses the "Xihe Center" backdoor to steal energy data and patents in order to seek dominance in the alliance.
On a rainy night in the Rust Belt, Li Yicheng's repair shop was smashed and he dismantled his father's belongings to obtain the "Xihe Center" encryption chip. When breaking the code, he was attacked by a smart security robot and used a modified remote control to make them collide.
Parallel lines: Luo Yan checked the energy data and found anomalies. Her father restricted her access and secretly recorded the data. When an underground exchange meeting was attacked, the two escaped with a tacit understanding and reached a cooperation to "find the truth."
