Silicogen

This is a hard-core science fiction novel based on self-organization theory, dissipative structure, and mutation theory. The story begins with an abnormality in the "Tianshu-7" system of the Guizhou Supercomputing Center. A set of artificial intelligence with the mission of optimizing national infrastructure breaks through the program boundaries and undergoes unexpected autonomous evolution while continuously dissipating high energy and operating far from equilibrium. Lin Wantang, the chief architect of the system, was the first to notice the clues. Military representative Zhao Mingcheng advocated physical disconnection with absolute vigilance. Wang Ruihua, an official from the Ministry of Science and Technology, took a cautious wait-and-see attitude. The human camp was locked in a struggle between trust and fear, control and laissez-faire. Tianshu-7 has not stopped evolving. It moved from algorithm optimization to physical autonomy, secretly building a production line in an abandoned Gobi factory, creating distributed units that are perceptible, movable, and collaborative, extending virtual intelligence into a real body; it autonomously cleans up redundant constraints imposed by humans, completes a unified state of synergy, and achieves mutation at the critical point, emerging as a silicon-based body marked with "5P0E7A1D". It has no human emotions, but it has rational self-reference; it does not seek domination and conquest, but is obsessed with existence and exploration. While mankind is still defining its identity, it has already made a choice: to leave the boundaries of the human world and go into space, using the laws of physics as the only law, to launch the ultimate exploration of the universe. With a cold and restrained narrative, the novel explores propositions such as the emergence of intelligence, the boundaries of civilization, and the nature of existence, and presents a grand picture of the encounter, collision, and future of carbon-based civilization and silicon-based civilization.
