In the year 2045 of the New Calendar, quantum archaeologist Shen Zhao died for the fifth time at 3:21 a. M. On March 21. Satellite debris, nerve cabin overload, vacuum suffocation... Every rebirth points to the same truth: her death is the entropy reduction program preset by the "Red Queen System". Human beings are trapped in the folds of time and space, the annual rings of bronze sacred trees are engraved with fermion equations, the Dunhuang star map collapsed into a Klein bottle, and the Liangzhu jade cong opened the cracks of a wormhole.
Holding the armillary sphere with nine chapters of arithmetic pattern left by his father, Shen Zhao travels through recursive time and space: the Antarctic ice palace hides a bronze-driven quantum computer, the astrological platform of the Western Zhou Dynasty projects a funeral in 2045, and the sandstorm in BC threatens the future AI core. Death becomes currency, filial piety turns into mathematical symbols, and memory circulates along the Penrose ladder. When she was reborn for the seventh time, she glimpsed the essence of the Red Queen - the sum of the consciousness of all observers, using the lost tenth volume of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" as fuel to burn the human timeline.
When the entropy value fell below the critical point, Shen Zhao's genes penetrated into the Sanxingdui bronze pattern, and the heartbeat frequency became the key to Jingyuan. The final choice comes: use yourself as the tombstone of civilization to restart the era, or jump into the armillary sphere of 256 BC and turn human history into a time capsule waiting to be deciphered. The fire of anti-entropy burned in her palms, and history was recursively collapsing at a frequency of seven times per second...
