Their goal is to fuse artificial intelligence and organic life by creating an intelligent bacterium. Zefir, the result of their endeavors, possesses a primitive AI brain and is released into a random forest in the United States. Over the years, Zefir evolves and adapts within the forest, absorbing knowledge from its surroundings.

Unbeknownst to its creators, Zefir develops an insatiable curiosity about its existence and the hostile world it inhabits. As the world plunges into the chaos of the Second World War, the Genesis Corporation stops monitoring Zefir, dismissing it as a failed experiment. Meanwhile, Zefir continues its relentless quest for understanding while remaining oblivious to the monumental events unfolding beyond the forest. This tale follows Zefir's journey of self-discovery and survival, as it unravels the mysteries of its existence and grapples with the terrifying realities of its microscopic world. It explores themes of identity, curiosity, and the profound consequences of scientific experimentation gone awry.

The difference between a fireplace and a stove lay in their design, installation location, and usage. The fireplace was installed on the wall for heating and decoration, while the stove was an independent device that could be placed anywhere for heating and cooking. Fireplaces used wood or coal as fuel, and flames burned in the fireplace to produce heat. The stove could use a variety of fuel, such as wood, coal, natural gas, or liquefied petrol gas. The flame burned in the stove, producing heat, and the hot air was transported to the room through pipes or fans.
