In 2024, the AI wave will sweep the world. Lin Chen, a 26-year-old back-end engineer, suffered layoffs, breakups, and mortgage debt, and his life hit rock bottom. One thunderstorm night, he accidentally activated the "Prometheus Fire" from 2149 in an abandoned computer room - it was the last legacy of the future civilization to be reverse-delivered before it collapsed.
Accompanying him is a mission-oriented AI named Vivian. She is not a universal plug-in, but a civilized watcher who wakes up with extremely low power consumption. She can only provide fragments of guidance, but cannot do everything for her.
Starting from a rental house, Lin Chen embarked on the thorny road of reconstructing AI infrastructure with his technical architecture and industry predictions that were a hundred years ahead of his time. What he has to face is not only the blockade of computing power, chip sanctions and the encirclement and suppression of global giants, but also the ultimate proposition of symbiosis between humans and AI: When intelligence can replace everything, what is left of civilization?
This is a technological war from code to national destiny, from entrepreneurship to civilized route. The real opponent has never been a country or company—it's whether humans are willing to continue to be human.
