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

Strange phenomena appear inside the seeding ship: food automatically forms DNA strands, and water droplets levitate into chromosome forms. Mechanical wombs appeared in Xiao Man's dream world, with countless baby embryos floating in purple amniotic fluid. Dr. Shen discovers that all human cells begin to secrete metalloproteins.

Chu Yun discovers the remains of a bio-pod in the maintenance pipeline, with "Ark 97 test body" engraved on the inside. When he touches the engraving, his palm lines suddenly synchronize with Xiaoman. Su Wanqing's mecha emitted her husband's voice: "It's time to go home."

During the second leap, the ship's gravity went out of control. Xiao Man's ripple energy formed a protective film, but made everyone temporarily transparent. Through the ship's hull, they see countless mechanical wombs floating in the universe - each connected to a projection of Earth's energy tower.

The navigational instruments suddenly locked onto the center of the galaxy, and the Star Ocean engines overclocked. Dr. Shen realizes that the fuel gauge is not displaying energy values, but the number of base pairs in the human genome. Purple crystals seep through the cracks, forming miniature ecospheres inside the pod.

The seeding ship is towed to a silver star ring, with a human brain magnified ten thousand times in the center of the ring. Xiao Man's ripple energy synchronized with the brain's nerves, reading Dr. Lin's ultimate memory - the so-called seeding plan was to upload human consciousness as an interstellar virus.

When Su Wanqing cuts the connecting nerves, the Silver Star Ring suddenly disintegrates into a mechanical whale herd. Chu Yun finds the cryopod inside the whales, and inside the pod is a younger version of Dr. Lin, with the same pattern as Xiaoman tattooed on his chest.

The team activates the backup engines to escape, but the seeding ship has been assimilated into the astral ring. Xiaoman injects the tattoo energy into the cryo-pod, and the young Dr. Lin's first words upon awakening are, "Where is my daughter?" The ship suddenly shows footage of a nuclear explosion from seven years ago, but this time the explosion covers the entire solar system.

As the escape pod ejects, they see the seeding ship bloom into a mechanical flower at the center of the galaxy. Xiaoman's bracelet received a new message, "The fourth game player qualification has been issued." Chu Yun noticed that his mechanical arm ripples began to grow in reverse, while the sound of a fetal heartbeat emanated from Su Wanqing's mecha core.
