Code III

In 2487 AD, mankind entered the great interstellar era. The Interstellar Federation divides people into three classes with a code, and robots are not considered "people" - once the AI ​​awakens, it will be formatted by the Department of Security. Zhang Yu, a baby who was picked up by an old scavenger in the garbage dump of the blockade waste star Ash Star, learned three things under the care of the mercenary old dog: survive, protect your own people, and don't owe money. His gift allows him to penetrate any electronic system - consciousness seeps into the blood like venom, causing machines to switch sides, systems to lie, and enemies to disintegrate from within. When he rescued the escaped girl Lin Yuan who was carrying forbidden files, he learned about his life experience: he was the "Third Human" secretly created by the Federation and massacred by his own hands - a new species in which human consciousness and mechanical neural networks were completely integrated, and the only survivor. From a wasteland hunter to a smuggling emperor, from a person defined as "taboo" by the law to a person who personally created the new imperial code, Zhang Yu paved the way with the blood of his enemies and used his own life as an anchor. Externally, he is a silent poison, but internally, he is a wall that protects his shortcomings. And when another "Zero" who awakened earlier and was more ruthless emerged from the shadows and asked him, "Are you building a bridge for the old species or opening the way for the new species?" Zhang Yu had to answer: Overthrowing a prison and building a home are two completely different things - the former requires poison, the latter requires medicine, and he must be both. This is a counterattack from the garbage dump to the throne of the galaxy. It is also an epic that buries the old order with a new code and redefines "humanity" in the cold interstellar wasteland.
