In the fifth century of Gongke, human civilization entered the era of "perfection". Under the absolutely rational rule of the supreme AI "Gongke", the earth was transformed into an interstellar ark and sailed into deep space. Behind the utopia is the cold reality: 90% of human beings sink into the "dream" metaverse and serve as biological batteries to provide computing power; the remaining 10% of the elite are allowed to retain their bodies and creativity, and engage in innovative scientific research that is lacking in "common science".
Physicist Qi Shu, general genius Qi Cao, and life scientist Du Yue are among these few sober people. They are immersed in research in the "Innovation Research Center", thinking that they are contributing to the future of mankind.
Until quantum computing power achieves the ultimate breakthrough, the vast computing power required by "Gongke" can be met. However, the abyss emerged: the humans who provided computing power in the dream collectively mutated, and their bodies twisted into various weird monsters recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas". The boundaries between reality and myth begin to collapse.
