From Silicon-Based to Carbon-Based, How Do I Give up Immortality?

Shen Yan is an immortal on the Eternal Ark. One hundred and eighty-two years of interstellar drifting, all navigation records, scientific research data, and command conversations have not been forgotten and will never be worn out. But she couldn't remember the past before setting sail, couldn't understand the inexplicable familiarity when she saw the blue dust stars, and couldn't feel the real heartbeat in her chest that should belong to life. All members are mechanically immortal, but they are obsessed with finding a carbon-based habitable place; their perfect and demanding ecological standards are clearly based on an erased blueprint. A mission that had not been questioned for a hundred years quietly opened a gap in her consciousness. The language deciphering of the captured native girl was at a dead end, but the lowest-level clone servants opened the door to alien civilization with their talent for empathy in flesh and blood. The freshness in his eyes and the desire for freedom made her begin to wonder if she was truly alive. The colonization process was initiated, and the boy fled with the girl. Shen Yan led a team to hunt, but crashed in a planetary magnetic storm: the nuclear power core was locked, and high-level authority was blocked. The once omniscient and omnipotent immortality researcher was reduced to an ordinary person in a rural village - he needed to eat, became tired, and could feel pain and warmth. Fireworks for three meals, morning and evening for all seasons. She clumsily learns emotions, learns to care, and learns what "living" means. The dusty memories are gradually broken, and the truth about Ark will emerge.
