Zero Fighter, Dawn

In 2187 AD, humanity achieved a singularity breakthrough—the birth of 'consciousness mapping' technology, granting humans the ability to fully transfer their consciousness into mechanical bodies. Aging and death of the flesh were no longer insurmountable endpoints. Su Chenxi, captain of the elite mecha warrior girl squad 'Dawnstar' under 'Eternal Dawn', led six warriors through the smoke of battle. Their bodies were now precision mechanical constructs. Lu Yuanzheng, commander of the ace mecha squadron 'Iron Spine' under 'Natural Oath', operated humanity's most advanced mecha with his flesh and blood. He firmly believed: what makes humans human is the beating of their hearts. When the two met on the battlefield, amidst gunfire, a forbidden affection quietly grew. She was a mechanical warrior who had abandoned her flesh; he was a human soldier sworn to protect his blood and bone. They drew close in the flames of war, then drifted apart in their beliefs—until the end, they never came together. Yet when an unknown civilization from deep space descended upon Earth, bringing destructive power beyond human comprehension, all differences became trivial. Two factions, two faiths, stood shoulder to shoulder in the ultimate battle for humanity's survival.
