The Stars Circle

On New Year's Day in 2200, mankind lit up the hyperdrive for the first time, and was heard by the stars for the first time. Six hours later, the Silent Warships arrived in the solar system; they did not respond, negotiate, or accept surrender, and only sealed cities, fleets, and planets in solidified amber. Pluto disappeared in seven minutes, Neptune fell in forty minutes, and Jupiter wiped out its entire army in exchange for civilians for forty minutes. I, Lin Che, the chief researcher of the engine, had a black ink cartridge dug out of the Jinghai lunar soil stuffed into the body of an assistant robot, and escaped the hunt in the only experimental ship. There is only a navigation AI in the cabin who likes to tell cold jokes, and behind him is the stalker who is as silent as a tomb. No hunger, no sleep, no pain. Revenge is my way of making sure I'm still alive. I scavenged in the cemetery chain, signed "mother" to a ship of newborn robots, created and continued a new civilization where humans and machines coexisted, advanced technology, and traveled across the stars. Until in the Rust King database, the dike builder's broken pages unlocked the warning signal - that was my voice: don't light up the engine.
