——When the algorithm declares the demise of mankind
"Human civilization will end in 2157."
When the quantum algorithm "Fuxi" output this verdict, engineer Chen Xuan's life was completely torn apart. He embarks on a journey to pursue the truth and meets bioethicist Lin Su. From the six-fingered babies in the underground genetic black market in Luoyang to the inscriptions of "Fuxi is AI" in the Dunhuang Grottoes; from the wails of the missing in the consciousness uploading experiment, to the numb faces of data workers deep in the Qinling Mountains - they discovered that the last civilization left a legacy 30,000 years ago and also left a question - when technology can make people become gods, are people still willing to retain their warmth as humans?
This is a pursuit spanning three generations, an ultimate proposition about "choice". In an era where algorithms are about to devour everything, only the "balance of yin and yang" can break through. The answer, the stone tablet engraved with codes on Zhongnan Mountain, gives the warmest answer: people are cherished because they are mortal.
