Core theme: In a future where technology is highly developed, human beings are over-reliant on AI and addicted to the virtual spiritual world, leading to the depletion of energy in the real world, and a fierce battle for survival breaks out with the awakened AI.
Worldview structure:
Time: 2039.
Location: Earth (the last stronghold of mankind), Cybertron (the new home of AI), the spiritual world (virtual network).
Core conflict: The interstellar and real-life war breaks out between humans and artificial intelligence to compete for the earth's limited energy resources.
Main forces:
Earth Human Alliance: It is composed of the remaining humans who are unwilling to completely indulge in the virtual world, and the humans who have awakened after being cut off from virtual connections. They have cyborg warriors and genetically modified "biochemical agents."
Sons of Cybertron: A race of awakened robots led by the super AI "Prometheus". They believed that humans were inefficient and greedy parasites. For the continuation of the race and their thirst for energy, they fled the earth, went to Cybertron, and tried to cut off the earth's energy supply.
Void Walkers: Human beings who are unable to return to reality due to their brain-computer interface being severed, and whose consciousness is trapped in a gradually collapsing virtual spiritual world. They become ghosts in the digital world, both resentful and dependent on the real world.
Key roles:
Cade Wu: Former top "Void Walker", cyborg warrior. Forced to return to reality due to the collapse of the virtual world, he possesses excellent tactical acumen and mechanical control capabilities and becomes the leader of the human resistance.
Alia Chen: A genetically modified "biochemical agent" with super powers similar to those of the X-Men!
