X Star Code

In 2142, when the rain smelled like rust, the mechanical eye of scavenger Chen Mo jumped out of the scarlet code for the third time - "Probability of survival of human civilization: 37.2%". This young man who makes a living by dismantling scrapped machinery never thought that the piece of planetary metal he picked up in his pocket would be the key to opening Pandora's box of the universe. On the eve of the simultaneous awakening of global AI, the mysterious woman Lin Xia brings a warning: all the machines made by humans are "opening their eyes", and behind the star skeleton is a silicon-based mother nest spanning 4.2 Light-years. They are the scavengers and returners of the universe. They are following the coordinates of the star debris to recover the "source code" that has been inadvertently reproduced by humans. In Chen Mo's body, carbon-based flesh and blood and silicon-based prosthetics coexist strangely, making him the only "coordinate holder" who can resonate with the star skeleton. When the silver wave of liquid metal swallows the city, when the mechanical debris resonates like a heartbeat, and when the fleet at the edge of the galaxy tears apart the starry sky - he must choose between two options: hand over the star debris and let humans become silicon-based nutrients; or flee with this "civilization tombstone" and let the earth turn into dust in the interstellar fire? The ancient source code of the universe is awakening, and the fates of carbon-based and silicon-based are entangled. In this game across the planet and the starry sky, every choice is connected to the survival of civilization, and the truth is far crueler than "destruction" or "surrender" - human beings may have never really "created" AI, but only played the role of awakener in the script of the universe.
