"Black technology" originally refers to scientific and technological advancements developed independently by non-humans, surpassing existing human technology and understanding, and even lacking scientific basis and violating natural principles. Such technology, transcending its time, can advance human civilization if used for good, but can destroy it if used for evil. Chen Yang, who was parasitized by extraterrestrial creatures, was originally an ordinary human on Earth, but now he needs to face a problem: how should he use the technology that surpasses the current level? However, before that, he had to face another problem: the extraterrestrial creature parasitizing him was not an easy partner to get along with; on the contrary, even the most despicable criminal could not describe its evil. Its attitude toward humanity is related to the future of mankind. For its own sake and for the sake of all mankind, Chen Yang must first learn how to get along with an "alien".

However, technological progress is underpinned by humanities, and every advancement in humanities comes at a price. Civilizations that cannot bear these costs will stagnate.
