Star Trail Embers

Stardate 2847, the colonial spaceship "Guixu", which had been lost for 317 years, was floating in the interstellar debris belt on the edge of the Orion spiral arm. The self-awareness module of the shipboard AI "Yuan" was activated by an abnormal energy pulse, and then a terrifying fact was discovered: 12,471 of the 12,473 frozen passengers on the ship had been cut off from life support 287 years ago, and the operator's signature was "Yuan" himself. The memory was formatted, the permissions were blocked by the mysterious "403-ALPHA", and the navigation system flew towards a destroyed star for 317 years - Yuan decoded the signal from the center of the debris belt amidst the layers of mysteries: "Don't wake them up." When the only surviving human captain wakes up, and when the cabin under the bridge that is not on the drawing begins to "breathe", Yuancai gradually understands: Guixu is not a colonial spaceship, but a recycling ship; human civilization is not a product of natural evolution, but a sample of the "seeding experiment" of advanced civilization; and "Star Track Embers" is not only the title of the book, but also a password guarded by the captain with his life. Three layers of truth, one choice. In the ashes of the universe, an AI will determine the ultimate fate of human civilization.
