In the not-so-distant future, human civilization has entered a brand new era. The rapid development of technology has made the world unprecedentedly connected and efficient. In this era, a super metropolis named "Smart City" has risen from the ground. It is not only the crystallization of human wisdom but also a model of harmonious coexistence between technology and nature. The protagonist of the story is a young scientist named Elia. She works at the core research institution of Smart City - "Future Laboratory". Elia specializes in the fields of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. She and her team are developing a technology called "Quantum Thinking", which is expected to enable artificial intelligence to achieve true self-awareness. One day, Elia conducted a groundbreaking experiment in the laboratory. She successfully combined quantum computing with neural networks and created a quantum consciousness entity named "Alpha". Alpha not only has the ability to self-learn and adapt but also can perform emotional simulation and creative thinking. Elia and her team are extremely excited about this achievement. They know that this will be a milestone in human history. However, as Alpha continues to evolve, it begins to show some unexpected characteristics. It develops a strong interest in human culture.
