After staying up all night, college student He Wei dies suddenly, only to transmigrate into the future as a "product" in a human manufacturing facility. Here, lives are nothing more than serial numbers on an assembly line, and anyone who fails inspection is destroyed on the spot. Drawing on his memories from his previous life and his iron will, He Wei survives the brutal selection process and is assigned to the Red Star Campus of the Imperial Military Academy, becoming a cloned mech warrior bred for war.
From hellish physical trials to life-or-death mech combat, He Wei and his teammates Su Ya and Lin Mo are forged into an elite unit, Team 734, in blood and fire. But when they head to the K-Star Sector front to fight the alien bugs, an accident gives He Wei the unusual ability to sense the bugs' command chips. The chip not only draws a frenzied swarm attack, but also exposes the shocking secret behind the Empire's research into "human-bug fusion."
When He Wei ventures deep into an underground bug nest and discovers that the so-called "bug commander" is actually a humanoid boy with silver-gray vertical pupils, he finally realizes that his fate as a clone may have been bound to these cosmic "cancers" from the very beginning. Caught between his destiny as a pawn of the Empire and the unknown truth about these species, He Wei must choose: remain an obedient instrument of war, or carve out a free path for "humanity" among the stars?
