In 2038, AGI will fully penetrate human society. Lin Jing, an AI landscape designer at Beijing's "Fantasy Creation" company, accidentally discovered during a Mars colony landscape project that when the complexity and poetry of the AI prompt word (prompt) exceed a certain threshold, the AI will generate "landscapes that should not exist" - these scenes have strict physical laws and precise details, far beyond the scope of AI illusions.
He gradually discovered that the high-dimensional information of the universe was leaking into the weight of the AI model in the form of "noise", and the AI inadvertently drew a real alien world - this phenomenon is called "scenery". Through the scenery, Lin Jing witnessed with his own eyes the state of the dark forest described in "The Three-Body Problem", and also saw an existence more terrifying than the dark forest - the Reaper civilization.
The Reapers are a high-dimensional civilization that uses "landscape reconstruction" as a weapon. They transform the entire star system into a dead, perfect geometric "artwork" and erase the original civilization. Their pioneer probe is heading towards the solar system, leaving humans only three years.
Lin Jing, an ordinary landscape designer, as the seventh generation of "landscape builders" in human history, must grow from a migrant worker who just wants to pay off his mortgage to a civilized landscape builder who "landscapes" civilization on a cosmic scale, using the aesthetic ideas of oriental gardens to open up a "beautiful" way for mankind to survive in the dark forest.
