1296: Zhou Tianji

"1296: Zhou Tianji" is a near-future science fiction suspense novel. The resources of the old earth are exhausted, and human beings are torn between three paths: the life-extension faction uses medical treatment and power to extend the body, the digital faction uploads memories into virtual immortality, and the natural faction raises flames and demands that people return to real death. Lu Chen, a young man in the seventh underground living area, was involved in a three-party struggle after his mother Ye Lan died due to the redirection of medical resources. The black iron box left by his father twenty years ago, his mother's last words refusing to be used, and the black ring that suddenly appeared on the end of his wrist pushed him towards a mysterious organization hidden deep in the old earth - X. When all camps demand sacrifices in the name of "correctness", Lu Chen must find a fourth way: not to inherit for his father, not to avenge his mother, but to re-answer what it means to be alive in a collapsing civilization.
