In 2077, there is no grass growing on the surface of the earth. Human beings huddle in a steel hive-like cyber city, swallowing synthetic algae paste day after day. Here, a fresh tomato is worth more than a human head.
Shen Mu, a low-level prosthetic engineer who was abandoned by the giant company "Fengrao Group", was covered in second-hand parts and his account balance dropped to zero. He picked up an encrypted data packet from the old era in the garbage, which recorded the long-lost "biological planting science"-from seed germination to photosynthesis, every page is a fantasy of this era.
While everyone was fighting for metals and chips, Shen Mu used discarded prosthetic parts to piece together a constant temperature and humidity system in his rental house of less than five square meters, and secretly planted the first tomato seed.
Forty-five days later, the tomatoes turned red.
This fruit shocked the entire underground black market. When you take a bite, juice bursts out - it's a "living" taste that an entire generation has never experienced.
Shen Mu quickly established an underground food empire, using cyberpunk methods to transform agriculture: gene editing, AI climate control, and blockchain traceability. He grew from a tomato vendor to a grassroots leader challenging the food monopoly of the "Fengsheng Group".
But the giant's counterattack came faster than expected. They sent their most elite mercenaries not to recapture the market, but because the existence of real food would awaken the people's perceptions and dismantle the slavery system that they had maintained for half a century with synthetic nutrient solutions.
