Human civilization has reached a critical juncture. At this time, an alien civilization called "The Translator" appears, not as a conqueror, but as a guide. They believe that young human civilization will be unable to rely on its own strength to safely overcome future crises.
The "Translator" chose a unique intervention method - integrating an advanced cognitive architecture of the universe, namely "Zhiyu", with a young man named Chen Mo. Chen Mo had just escaped from a strict closed school and unexpectedly became the center of this historic event.
Through Chen Mo, the knowledge and perspective of the "translator" can be conveyed to mankind. However, using this higher cognitive ability is not without consequences. It will gradually change the user's thinking mode, making their human perception, originally based on emotion and intuition, gradually tend to be absolutely rational.
As a result, Chen Mo became a bridge connecting the two civilizations. He needs to face a fundamental issue: whether to fully accept the guidance of the "Night Watch" and let human civilization continue on the established path, or whether to try to explore a development path that retains human characteristics while learning from foreign wisdom.
This story is about the thinking and choices made at the fork in history.
Purpose: The novel explores a fundamental paradox in the evolution of civilization through the narrative of a young man who is forced to carry a higher civilization:
Does "progress" have any meaning when it must come at the expense of core humanity?
