(Sci-fi suspense + Cthulhu atmosphere + hard-core biology setting, revealing the dark truth about the origin of human beings that is terrifying if you think about it)
In 2035, a scientific research ship accidentally touched a giant bronze tower in the trench, and fungal spores transformed the crew into symbionts. Technician Qin Shen discovered that the mutation frequency was synchronized with the symbols in the tower, and the life experience of team leader Lin Xia was actually connected to the embryo experiments left behind by the Soviet Union. When the Pacific Garbage Patch turns into a fluorescent vortex, Minister Chen's "Seventh Recycling Experiment" reveals the truth about human beings being genetically edited. In order to prevent the tower from turning the earth into an interstellar spore bomb, Lin Xia swallowed the consciousness spores saved by her lover with her life, and transformed her right eye into a "spore pupil" that can detect superstring signals. In the end, she sank into the abyss and used her transparent body to complete the genetic handshake between the two civilizations. A hundred years later, the pupils of the new generation turned into dark bronze patterns, and the whale cry of the restart of civilization came from the deep sea.
