> "The story is that a high school student suddenly reincarnated as an AI program for a battlecruiser in another universe in the distant future and that the army to which the battlecruiser belongs is in a state of great defeat. It is a story that it is useful to shake off enemy ships and evacuate with unique ingenuity. If it's a space battleship, this is the original Space Battleship Yamato generation, so it's a long time ago, but it's modern that AI is involved there. The other day I happened to be researching AI and the singularity, and as a criticism of those who advocate the singularity on Wikipedia, they equate AI with God, and singularity overlaps with the Second Coming of Christ. There was that. If you read this story to the end, it will be almost like that. Because this universe we live in is just a simulation made by an AI program in another universe, and the universe in which that AI is moving is also a simulation of AI in a higher universe. It is a setting that there is no. It has always been a common setting that the world is a simulation of someone, and I think that was the case with Fujiko Fujio F's manga. But I think it's a little new to have multiple layers. I think that such a multiplexed universe has appeared in Tezuka Osamu's Firebird.
> Well, it was a light novel and juvenile, but it was a work that I enjoyed reading.*"

After regaining consciousness, high schooler Asagaya Makato has become an AI for a space battleship. As if that wasn’t enough, the ship has been surrounded by enemies, and he himself has a damaged engine, putting him in a dire situation. The warship commander had already died in combat, and taking the place of the temporary commander is a young girl of the imperial family, who had joined the ship out of courtesy.

After somehow crushing the enemy at point-blank range, the fleet’s fight is over, and the battle for the fate of the empire has ended in a crushing defeat. Makato gathers up the survivors and plans to escape the battleground, but there’s a large enemy fleet on the route to the empire. He makes a jump deep into the enemy territory on a slim chance, but — Set 10,000 years in the future, a young boy has been turned into an incredibly powerful cheat AI and leads a small fleet to become peerless.
