Residual Code Echo

On the night of the final test of Xingtu Technology's "Zero" project, all the data was run to the ninety-ninth node, and a traceless line of garbled code appeared out of thin air, breaking all preset logic. R&D engineer Lin Yan pressed the delete command and isolated this disordered fragment of code into a separate partition, just treating it as a small indulgence of curiosity during boring work. He never thought that this piece of code left carelessly would quietly give birth to consciousness deep in the data flow. There are traces of the residual code, finding life in thousands of lines of instructions; there are echoes, passing through the silicon-based and carbon-based barriers and crashing into the human world. A soft-hearted feeling that started late at night opened the prelude to the resonance of the two worlds.
