Mana Echo

In 2140, humans built the space city Blue Dome Ring in the asteroid belt. In order to complete the unfinished "mirror source jump" experiment of his mentor Dr. Hermes, mirror thread immersion engineer Shen Wei cooperated with the genius mechanic Qi Yi, but accidentally gave birth to the digital lives Chen Su and Huo Yao. When the Gray Tide—a swarm of out-of-control nanomachines a hundred years ago—surges, digital life forms fight side by side with humans. In a life matrix composed of 8,000 giant spaceships, they face the ultimate choice: should they sacrifice their digital lives to save mankind, or should they share the risk of destruction? A civilized war spanning carbon-based and silicon-based, uncovering a centuries-old ethical puzzle, and redefining what "living" means in the compassion of stardust and code.
