In the future, the galaxy has been unified by the federal government, and mankind has entered an era of unprecedented prosperity in terms of institutions, technology, and territory. However, in the shadow of prosperity, resource stratification, genetic class, omnic control and border exploitation still exist.
The protagonist Lu Chenxing was born in the core star field of the Federation, but was abandoned by his parents in an abandoned maintenance station when he was an infant. When he was on the verge of death, he was saved by Zero, an old-fashioned intelligent robot that was born with self-awareness. Zero was once the core test subject of the Federation's early intelligent warfare system, possessing learning abilities and emotional prototypes that surpassed ordinary intelligence. It decided to cultivate this child into a true "all-around genius".
Lu Chenxing grew up under Zero's education, learning mathematics, engineering, strategy, psychology, fleet command, mechanical design, starship power, history of civilization, and political games. They have long dominated the rankings of No. 1 And No. 2 In the holographic strategy game called "Star Sea War". In the game, Zero acts as a mentor and trains him on how to command the interstellar fleet, how to sacrifice the local part for the overall situation, how to use technological differences to crush numerical superiority, and also teaches him the cruelest truth of war: victory is not to destroy the enemy, but to prevent the enemy from organizing the next war.
When Zero thought there was nothing more to teach him, he asked Lu Chenxing to leave the Federation and go to the gray area outside the Milky Way - the Chaos Realm.
From chess pieces to chess players, from the Chaos Domain to the Galactic Federation, from galaxy wars to cosmic civilization wars, Lu Chenxing relied on superior military technology, respect for intelligent life, and a deep understanding of the logic of war to finally overthrow the old order and establish a new civilization alliance covering the entire universe.
