Star Hunter: Uncharted Territory

In 235 AD, mankind entered the era of interstellar awakening after a breakthrough in wormhole jumping technology. However, while exploring the NGC-7093 nebula, they discovered black cubes that subverted the laws of physics - they could rewrite genes, fold space, and herald the start of the countdown to the increase in entropy of the universe. Star sea hunter Lin Shen received a mysterious commission to trace the last coordinates of his father before he disappeared, and accidentally awakened the star core power sleeping in the cube. On the wreckage of the scientific research ship that was supposed to have died, teammate Chu He suffered a quantum mutation due to contact with the relics, and the raid of the Night Owl Team of the Federal Secret Service revealed a larger conspiracy: the so-called interstellar relics were actually countdown timers prepared by advanced civilizations to eliminate carbon-based life. When Chu He's mutated body oozes silvery liquid metal, and when the tombkeeper tears apart space with the Klein bottle structure, Lin Shen must face the truth about his father's erased memory - behind the accident twenty years ago lies the greatest crisis for the survival of human civilization. And the pocket watch on his chest is reflecting the trajectory of the entire universe towards its end... This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
