The Setting Sun Volume 1: Fire

In 2150, a "Great Silence" tore the global network into pieces. Hundreds of millions of information cocoons are working independently, and there are a hundred "facts" about the same thing. People no longer argue about opinions, but about truth itself. An ancient virus awakens from under the ice, technology is regressing at an irreversible rate, and a gamma ray burst will reach the solar system in twenty-two years. In this quadruple apocalypse, the Great Yan Empire launched a secret plan - to preserve key technologies that can allow mankind to stand up again. The executive is a humble tech studio, WRJ. The founder, Andre, was once the youngest academician of the Academy of Sciences in the world, but his future was ruined by his refusal to turn technology into weapons. Now he returns to this sinking land with his father's saber, his mother's undeciphered notes, and a mission called "Seed of Fire". His team includes the AI ​​girl Xiaofa who listens to the heartbeat with cat ears, the former special forces soldier Qi who is as silent as a sword, the old engineer with trembling hands who can fix everything, Lin Xi who is still looking for the truth after being polluted by information, and the doctor who is trying to find the "definition of humanity" in the virus. The most dangerous enemy is Andre's former mentor, Professor Shen. He chose another path: to use viruses to transform humans and forcibly cut off the shackles of "human nature." He thought he was saving the future, but he might be killing the last of humanity. When the world has been shattered, should it be put back together to its original appearance, or should it be shattered into another shape? WRJ's choice is: save all possibilities. Because the real end of the world is not when the sun goes out, but when humans no longer believe in the same thing. And the first fire has already started.
