All the Remaining Weapons in the Wasteland Have Spirits

A hundred years after the Great Collapse, humans huddled behind the Great Steel Wall and regarded all machines as savage beasts. No one knows that in every piece of cold iron, there is hidden wisdom that has not dissipated. Hugh is the most humble mechanic in Rust Village, making a living by tinkering. Until he accidentally awakened the ability to talk to machines. He can hear the screams of scrapped tanks under gunfire, can read the obsessions engraved in the gears of machine tools of the old world, and can wake up abandoned machines that have been sleeping for hundreds of years and give them a new life. The world called him a mechanical heretic, the Dawn Alliance regarded him as a thorn in their side, and the Shadow Order even tried to kill him. But only Xiu knew that the disaster that destroyed the world a hundred years ago was never the betrayal of the Creation AI. It was a sin written by human hands, but it gave the machine a hundred years of infamy. Along the way, he collected the fragments of creation and uncovered the lies of history, from a small place in Rust Village to the crossroads of wasteland civilization. In the end, he used metal gnosis as a bridge and the logic of creation as a path to create a new path of symbiosis between humans and machines.
