In the 372nd year of the Unification Calendar, mankind has completed the colonization of more than 3,000 galaxies in the Milky Way. With the full consciousness quantum networking system "Lingxi Network", it has realized consciousness sharing, memory synchronization and collective thinking without delay, established an unprecedented unified "integrated human community", and reached the pinnacle of civilization evolution. However, a catastrophe called "Silence Arrival" broke out without warning: the "absolute silence signal" from the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way swept the entire galaxy along the Lingxi Network instantly.
This period of pure and meaningless nothingness in the universe instantly dissolved the consciousness of 99.99% Of the human beings connected to the Internet - their bodies still existed, but they completely lost their thinking, perception and desire, and became a static "empty shell", eventually dying silently in the desolation.
Ten years after the catastrophe, human civilization has completely collapsed. Less than a million survivors are scattered on the edge of the galaxy, struggling to survive in mutual strife and numbness.
Lin Mo, the former administrator of the unified government's "Consciousness Archives Administration", narrowly escaped repairing equipment in the offline backup library during the disaster and became the sole holder of the "Black Box", the highest-standard consciousness backup library in mankind.
This device, which stores the complete backup of consciousness, civilized archives and historical memories of all mankind before the disaster, is the only remaining tombstone of human civilization, and it is also the shackles of Lin Mo throughout the entire process: He is burdened with the only possibility of resurrecting mankind, but he is confused from beginning to end - is human civilization, which has long been pronounced dead by nothingness, worthy of being reawakened?
