Star Wall

One hundred years after capitalism became obsolete, mankind invented a new way of living: production belongs to units, distribution belongs to the market, and knowledge becomes the only wall. Two out of ten people can go to college, and ten percent of people control 70% of the world's computing power; moral ratings give everyone a score, and consciousness uploading converts people's breath into electricity bills. This is not a utopia, nor a dystopia—just a society that works seriously, is constantly being revised, and the costs are visible. The story unfolds along the lives of three ordinary people: Zhou Heng, the first reformed college student, watched the wall being built layer by layer with his own eyes; Shen Yan, the computing power auditor, used a ledger to measure the thickness of the wall; and Jiang Mian, a digital citizen, discovered that the material of the wall had changed - computing power is intelligence, and breathing costs electricity. In the ninety years from the registration day for the unified examination to the departure of the deep space fleet, humans discovered that the spacecraft could not accommodate civilization, so they put their consciousness into letters and sent them to the star sea. The old wall is quietly climbed over by technological progress, and a new wall is erected in front of the sea of ​​​​stars: the wall of communication will not fall, but the wall of computing power still stands. There are no villains, just a group of people who live seriously and a machine that constantly corrects itself. ——Volume Three, Chapter 55, from the construction of the wall, to the operation of the wall, to the loosening of the wall.
