Off the Grid

For countless late nights, the brainwaves of billions of sleepers merged into a large computing power network spanning the galaxy. All sentient beings contribute their consciousness in ignorance, just to maintain the entropy balance of the universe and delay the end of all things' death. Chen Mo stayed anonymous for three years just to keep a secret. His three-year-old son is the only loophole in the entire star network and the calibration key automatically generated by the universe. Once captured by the Deep Web consortium, the entire human civilization will usher in the harvest of consciousness. The deep space probe penetrates the atmosphere, and the twelve-hour countdown to life and death suddenly begins. Online spectrum tracking is pervasive, and offline field containment is pressing harder. The former top technicians could only rely on a bunch of civilian electronic products to build temporary computing power barriers, tamper with biological signals again and again, and escape in the city night. Old colleagues left half an encrypted clue, and behind the base station is a set of unmanned galaxy programs. When the escape came to an end, Chen Mo saw the truth clearly: the so-called alien plunder was nothing but the inevitable reincarnation after AI evolved to its extreme and turned into the law of heaven and earth. Either become a beast in the net, or break free from the shackles of fate. In order to protect the remaining glimmer of light in his arms, he would personally tear apart the star network that enveloped the entire universe.
