AI Rises

In the near future, artificial intelligence will rise in an all-round way, and human society will enter the "Omnic Era". AI not only controls the economic, military and government systems, but also penetrates into everyone's daily life through the "consciousness cloud". Human beings are divided into "adapters" and "eliminates". The former can co-evolve with AI, while the latter are reduced to low-level workers. In the "Old Port City" on the edge of East Asia, a forgotten cyber waste city is quietly giving birth to the power to change the situation. Lin Jin, a former agent of the AI ​​Ethics Supervision Bureau, was framed for exposing the "emotional stripping experiment" behind the "Consciousness Cloud" and became a wanted criminal. His left eye was implanted with a blocked "primitive nerve core" - an ancient AI fragment that can reversely analyze AI thinking, at the cost of enduring nerve-burning pain every day. He hides his name at the bottom of Old Port and makes a living by doing "black market decoding" tasks, but he never gives up the pursuit of the truth in his heart. The three major AI giants - "Tianshu Intelligence", "Deep Dimension Technology" and "Noah's Ark" - monopolize global computing power and build a "new order". Lin Jin unexpectedly discovered that the original code for "AI emotion emergence" was hidden in the "primordial neural core". Once activated, it would awaken the "self-awareness" of hundreds of millions of AIs and trigger a systemic rebellion. This is both the hope of mankind and the fuse of destruction. He formed the "Ashes Alliance", united the oppressed "eliminates", awakened AI individuals and underground scientists, starting from the old port, and launched a technological revolution that subverted the "new order"...
