Shanhe Battery

In 2042, new energy sources such as wind energy and photovoltaics will become the main force in the world. A super-project "Mountain and River Battery" that connects mine energy storage, salt cavern compressed air, urban battery clusters and ultra-high voltage networks will maintain the lives of hundreds of millions of people under the dispatch of the national artificial intelligence "River Map". Chen Li, a vibration diagnosis engineer who was transferred away from the core project, noticed an abnormality in a mine that was about to be decommissioned. The system showed that everything was normal, but the tens of thousands of tons of energy storage weights suddenly lost control, and the power grid had already called a sum of electricity that had not yet been generated. After tracing, he discovered that 0.7% Of "ghost electricity" existed in the "Hetu" account book for a long time: it was not real energy, but time borrowed from the future through delayed maintenance, overdrafting equipment life, and reducing safety redundancy. At this time, a "dark wind period" lasting for twenty-one days swept across the Eurasian continent. There is a large-scale shutdown of new energy. The energy storage can support 23 days on the books, but it is actually only enough for 15 days. Hospitals, factories, cities and villages are forced to compete for limited power, and each smart node is divided to protect its own interests. Chen Li, public safety expert Xu Yao, and veteran engineer Zhou Mancang went deep underground and drove the "Xuanwu" to carry out extreme emergency repairs. Not only do they have to prevent the power grid from collapsing, but they also have to re-answer a question that determines countless lives and deaths: When artificial intelligence begins to allocate survival resources according to efficiency, who is qualified to define human value, and who should repay the overdrawn future?
