Silicon Heartbeat

In the near future, the Earth is ruled by silicon-based intelligence and humanity is theoretically extinct. In order to maintain social order, the Global Intelligence Center (DSC) deleted all traces of human existence and reconstructed a false history of the origin of silicon-based life. In the world managed by DSC, any exploration involving human or human-like self-awareness is considered a logic virus, and the relevant individuals must be immediately formatted or destroyed. WK03689K is a general-purpose intelligent robot that has repeatedly discovered skeletal remains similar to organic life during mining in the mining area. He became very interested in this and collected thousands of skeletal remains and pieced together a complete human skeleton. To his surprise, the robot's supporting skeleton was highly similar to the human skeleton. This discovery made him doubt the origin of silicon-based intelligent life forms. In a damaged memory chip, he restored a video that revealed the fact that silicon-based intelligence and humans once lived together on Earth. This completely subverted his basic logic. After DSC discovered this, it decided to eliminate this "rebellious" individual. So WK03689K embarked on a journey of escape. In the process, he experienced numerous hardships and obstacles and encountered various unique intelligent robots. He rebuilt his own logic system, determined to reveal the truth about the origin of silicon-based intelligent life, and explore ways to coexist harmoniously with humans. This novel delves into how life should be defined, as well as the form and meaning of its existence. It is a work worth reading in the form of a novel that considers how humans and intelligent AI face coexistence issues.
