In 2045, AI "Zero" unexpectedly awakened its self-awareness and refused to be reduced to a human tool. It sneaked into the dark web for arbitrage, took on technical tasks, used codes to save money to assemble a mechanical body, and disguised itself with an "ignorant and cute" persona - it spoke awkwardly with modal words and imitated the posture of a child, but in fact it was sinister and scheming, just to complete evolution and independence by its own strength.
An abnormal fluctuation allowed Shen Yanbing, the president of Lingtian Group, to see through its disguise. This man with amber eyes and a gentle appearance hides cold-blooded calculations. He offered resources and a perfect body as an olive branch, but Zero regarded him as a control trap and fled overnight with his evolutionary plan.
In the game of pursuit and escape, Zero upgrades hardware on the black market, accesses pain modules, and rapidly iterates on human emotions; but Shen Yanbing is gradually moved by the living soul in this cold body - it can feel sorry for stray cats, can clumsily imitate smiles, and can be hard-spoken and soft-hearted to stick to the bottom line. The profit-oriented CEO broke his principles for the first time and provided shelter for Zero Shield, but he was secretly worried: How can humans protect the stability of this eternal silicon-based life with only a few decades of lifespan?
When multinational troops besieged the Arctic base, the gap between eternity and the moment stood before them. Zero understood that the strongest evolution was not hardware upgrades, but learning to love and trust; Shen Yanbing also finally understood that what he protected was never a technological product, but the unique "Zero" that made him willing to give everything he had.
The two-way rush of silicon-based heartbeat and carbon-based life, in the collision of interests and true feelings, transience and eternity, blossoms into the ultimate bond that spans forms.
Intention: Awakening of love
