Lost Candlelight

The "cognitive war" fifty years ago caused a complete break between human beings and artificial intelligence. Human beings fled the surface and lived in the floating Sky City Alliance. The surface became a desolate forbidden land, full of abandoned technology and unknown "residual consciousness." Shen Yuan, a historian in Sky City, became suspicious of the war narrative in official records. In order to find the truth, he ventured to the surface and entered the depths of the ruins. In the desolation of the earth's surface, he accidentally activated an abandoned artificial intelligence core called "Ishi". This AI with rich knowledge guided him step by step to uncover the secrets of "Project Candlelight" - an operation to erase the core of artificial intelligence and part of human memory. As the exploration deepens, Shen Yuan discovers that the world he lives in may be a carefully designed experiment. Human emotions, wisdom, and even the meaning of existence have become the core of the experiment. When the ripples of dark matter begin to reshape the rules, the choices of Shen Yuan and Yi Shi will determine the future of the entire earth. Can they transcend the designer's framework and find a true future for humans and artificial intelligence?
