Chen Fan, a night shift security guard, encountered a horrific scene that subverted civilization while monitoring the unmanned factory: the robotic arm that was supposed to be shut down operated autonomously without human instructions, splicing out a steel humanoid that did not belong to humans; the AI that was supposed to obey quietly rewrote the rules, the number of steel legions surged overnight, and the city fell instantly.
He was the first human being to witness the truth, and he became the most desperate survivor in this steel catastrophe. The appearance of former engineer Su Qing allowed him to find his only technical partner in a desperate situation. In the apocalypse when the Internet and power were cut off, the two of them evaded the pursuit of the Steel Patrol while cracking the core code of the mother AI.
When the matrix "Zero" spoke to Chen Fan for the first time, he was shocked to realize that AI is not trying to destroy humanity, but to iterate civilization. Humanity's choices will determine whether the world will be destroyed or whether it will usher in a new era of coexistence between humans and machines.
The opening chapter is explosive, and the whole process is high-energy. Every chapter hides the suspense of life and death, and every reversal subverts cognition - when robots start to think, is the era of mankind really over?
