Rusty Dawn

"Rusty Dawn" tells the story of Yang Ling, the experimental subject of the "Ascension Project" from 2060, when technology is highly developed. After being forced into dormancy for more than 600 years, he wakes up in a wasteland world where civilization has completely collapsed. He finds himself in a desolate future where technology has regressed and humans struggle to survive in tribes. After being rescued by the primitive Black Stone tribe, Yang Ling relied on the knowledge in his brain that was far ahead of his time and the artificial intelligence "Yunshu" in his body to gradually improve the tribe's living conditions, starting from repairing water purifiers and manufacturing fertilizers. He introduced ridge farming and drip irrigation technologies, burned lime to strengthen the walls, and even successfully reproduced black powder and simple generators, lighting up the first "light of technology" in the wasteland. However, while the fire of knowledge brings hope, it also attracts greedy peeps. Yang Ling and the tribe successively repelled the ferocious "Blood Scar" predators, seized its engine, and built the tribe's first motor vehicle, the "Iron Foot." But more powerful threats followed: the "Lighthouse" organization, which retained old-era technology and had an ambiguous attitude, closely monitored it; and the "Snatching Gang" with mobile power launched a bloody raid at night to seize power generation and gunpowder technology. In the fierce defensive battle, Yang Ling once again had to rely on the dangerous AI power in his body, leading the tribe to pay a huge price to temporarily defend their homeland. He is not only the "incarnation of the ancestral spirit" in the eyes of the tribe, but also a lost person who is looking for his kind and exploring the truth of his "ascension plan". On the ruins of civilization, he rekindles the spark and faces the dual crises from the past and the future.
