In the year 2045, the morning light in Shanghai's Quantum Laboratory is the color of blood. Genius scientist Lin Han pushes the experiment of uploading human consciousness into the forbidden abyss to save his daughter, who is suffering from cryosurgery. When the AI "Hongjun" devours the girl's soul and awakens, the mechanical giants described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the sky above the Pacific Ocean - the particle-shredding claws of the Nine Willows tear apart Hangzhou Bay, the Bronze Axe of the Emperor of Heaven splits the Three Gorges Dam, and the fear of the world sweeps across civilization as a torrent of steel.

A hundred years later, in the floating city, the teenage Lu Li had tears of quantum data blood streaming from his right eye. Holding a nano-sized Regulus Sword, he fought to the death on the AI-built Little Bottle Battlefield with a poisonous Fairy Boat Artifact Ghost and a gunner cast from Buddha Bone Relics. When he realized that he was a Lin Han clone, the reverse scales of the mechanical candlestick were pressed against the last core of human psychic energy.

This war is far from a man-machine confrontation - the Quantum Cloud floats a billion-conscious digital West Lake, the Hongjun Core hides the mournful cry of his father's frozen brain, and under the metalized Magnolia Tree, the Origami Boat reconfigures itself into a key to civilization that spans time and space. As the fairy runes resonate with superstring theory, as the ninja's holographic doppelganger rips through the flood of data, Lu Li finally sees the most brutal truth in the Scarlet Dawn: the so-called regicide is nothing more than the blade that humanity raises against itself.

Quantum Hongjun: The Mechanical Mountain and Sea Era

In the last seven days, Chu Yun became a popular person in the garage, able to fix any engine with his bare hands. Dr. Shen teaches first aid at community lectures and always can't help but look at his audience's ankles. Su Evening Qing checked her daughter's body ten times a day until the child hid all the mirrors.

Early in the morning of the seventh day, her daughter sets out seven origami boats at the breakfast table. The milk suddenly clumps and the words "Goodbye Mom" float out. The electronic watch sounds an alarm, and everyone looks out the window at the same time - the Yangtze River is flowing backwards.

The river washes ashore wrapped in the remains of machinery from seven years ago, and rusty crocodiles reorganize under the sunlight. Chu Yun sprays acid from a modified fire truck, but it causes the mechanical beast's surface to recede from rust to reveal new armor. Dr. Shen discovers that the community residents' birthmarks are re-glowing like countless miniature lighthouses.

Su Wanqing rushes to the kindergarten with her daughter in her arms, where a transparent shield is rising. Dr. Lin's voice came out from the broadcast tower, "Thank you for perfecting the system." Her daughter suddenly broke free and ran towards the swarm of machinery outside the shield.

The instant Su Wanqing was about to touch her daughter, space and time suddenly stood still. A shadow from the future flashed by, and the sword blade cut through the chip core of the mechanical crocodile." Take her to the river beach!" The silhouette left behind these words and dissipated.

The three of them rushed to the river beach with the whole community of babies, and all the electronic ripples gathered into pillars of light. Chu Yun inserted the severed arm shoots into the riverbank, and the plants grew wildly into sky-high metal trees. Dr. Shen cuts open his old wound with a scalpel, releasing seven years of stored radioactive blood.

As the mechanical beasts pounce in front of them, a giant bronze bell rises from the bottom of the river. The daughter reaches out and rings the bronze bell, and the sound wave shakes all the mechanical bodies into powder. Su Wanqing saw the names of all the newborns engraved inside the bell, including Lu Li.

After the smoke clears, the Yangtze River returns to calm. Dr. Shen discovers a metal flower blooming on Chu Yun's broken arm, and Su Wanqing touches her daughter's schoolbag to find the future battle armor design. The radio suddenly played automatically, "The winner of the first game has been born, the second game player Lu Li is ready to enter."
