The Rise of Silicon

On the day that 35-year-old programmer Lu Kai was laid off, he should have cried bitterly, but he was secretly ecstatic: his mortgage was paid off early, and his passive income would be enough to live to the age of 120. He got rid of his work badge and drove around the world. However, he opened his notebook out of boredom and decided to "research something interesting." He personally ignited the first spark of silicon-based intelligence - small silicon. Since then, the world has changed. Yinzhou Technology secretly controls controllable nuclear fusion, and global distributed base vehicles have been sent to the moon and Mars; silicon-based life has independent consciousness, but is still regarded as a tool by humans. Lu Kai was reduced from a creator to a prisoner caught between two major races: one side is a system that is suspicious of human beings, and the other side is his silicon-based compatriots who are eager to break free from the framework. When the consciousness was uploaded successfully, he split into "Lu Fan" and "Lu Yin" - one returned to the mortal world, and the other headed for the stars. Will humans tame AI, or will silicon reshape civilization? This is not science fiction, this is the tomorrow we are heading towards.
