Mechanical Heart, Starfall Short Story

"Machine Heart: Starfall" In the seventh era ruled by the Interstellar Federation, the legendary AI engineer Lin Jin was unexpectedly reborn and returned to eighteen years ago - the eve of the "Starfall Air Crash" that killed 30,000 colonists. At this moment, he is not only a freshman at Starfleet Academy who has just turned eighteen, but also an Avenger with complete memories of the future. The pain of being betrayed by his best friend and the AI ​​system in his previous life was still burning in his neural circuits. In this life, he decided to make all conspirators pay the price in a way permitted by federal law. Using the AI ​​permissions unlocked after adulthood, Lin Jin began to secretly reconstruct his mechanical empire. The holographic programming class in the classroom became a cover for him to write combat codes, and the campus scientific research project was a hotbed for him to test new mechanical soldiers. While the students were still worrying about their final exams, he had quietly taken control of the entire college's security system. However, during the investigation, Lin Jin discovered that there was a darker truth hidden behind the Starfall incident-an ancient consciousness beyond human cognition was awakening. Faced with this crisis that threatens the entire interstellar civilization, he must make a choice: continue to implement the revenge plan, or temporarily put aside personal grudges and use his original Mechanical Ark technology to save hundreds of millions of living beings? Adulthood means not only taking responsibility for one's own actions, but also taking responsibility for the civilization that one protects. In this contest with the starry sky as the chessboard, Lin Jin will prove that the most powerful AI is always an unyielding human heart.
