The story takes place in an imaginary dynasty similar to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The court is corrupt and the people are in dire straits. The protagonist accidentally obtains a "malfunctioning AI assistant" from the future, which is stored in a strange metal "boundary stone" passed down from ancient times. The database of this AI is severely damaged, leaving only half-remnant knowledge of physics, chemistry, and engineering. It has no autonomous consciousness and can only execute instructions through dialogue. The core rules are: 1. Every time the AI provides a technical solution, it will consume the "spiritual power" of the boundary stone. The spiritual power needs to be replenished by contacting specific rare minerals or places with strong "spiritual energy of heaven and earth". 2. AI knowledge is modern science, but to the ancients it was like magic and miracles. 3. The underlying logic of AI follows the laws of physics and cannot implement "magic" that violates scientific principles.
