In 2079, mankind is truly close to "eternal life" for the first time.
AI has passed the Turing test, brain-computer interfaces have covered the world, mechanical prosthetics have replaced mutilated flesh/bodies, and consciousness uploading technology has begun to break through death.
Everyone believes that a new era is coming.

Pei Che is the creator of the "Alpha" project and the world's first human cryonics experiment volunteer.
He believes that consciousness is just information, and that death will eventually be defeated by technology.
So he personally sent himself into a cold sleep, waiting for him to be resurrected in the future.

Lin Zhiwei still didn't believe it. She is the youngest doctor of neurology in the Federation. She mainly studies mechanical nerve connections, conscious perception, and prosthetic feedback systems.
She understands the human brain better than anyone. So she knows that people are not codes, pain is not, and love is not.
—
Five years later, Alpha passed the Turing test.
The world begins to spin out of control.
More and more people are taking the initiative to mechanize, more and more people are uploading their consciousness, and more and more people are giving up their bodies.
Pei Che, who was sleeping on the ninety-seventh floor underground, finally opened his eyes again.
But when he woke up, humans no longer looked like humans.
—
"If consciousness could live forever."
"Then will you still love me now?"
This is a story about AI, civilization, death and love.
It is also the last time that human beings gaze into their own souls in the era of mechanical ascension.
Intent: This is a story about AI, civilization, death and love.
