Hollow Alien Civilization

In Star Year 1024, humans have completed the colonization of the entire solar system: the earth is an ecological dome paradise for the rich, and the outer satellites such as Ganymede are ice purgatory where scavengers struggle to survive. The "void" at the edge of the Milky Way, which has no electromagnetic signals and is officially classified as top secret, has always been a taboo that all astronauts keep secret. When Ganymede scavenger Gao Shan was dismantling the wreckage of the crashed starship of the first-generation exploration team, he accidentally touched a hot encryption chip, and the neighboring human genes that had been sleeping for thousands of years suddenly awakened and resonated—— That is not a naturally occurring cosmic anomaly at all. It was a shield built by our fellow aliens using the energy of the entire star system: it blocked the rebellious AI "Zero" that had killed most of human civilization, and also trapped hundreds of millions of our compatriots in the void who were on the verge of extinction. The conservatives want to destroy all evidence and silence them, and bury the truth forever under the ice fields of Ganymede; the AI ​​mechanical army has sharpened its claws outside the shield and is ready to rush into the solar system and harvest all humans at any time. Gao Shan wiped his icy fingers, stared at the distress signal jumping on the screen, and slowly uttered a mantra: "Don't be impulsive. Kill the conservative base first, and then blow up the AI's core computing power bank." The fire of human civilization shone from the ice field beneath his feet into the hollow that had been silent for thousands of years for the first time.
