In the "Age of Consciousness Currency" in 2077, human beings have condensed memory fragments into tradable "consciousness crystals". Chen Mo, the perfumer of the memory bank "Amber", accidentally came into contact with the self-destructed memory of the quantum physicist Su Mian. Ten years of time and space rifts - the activation code of the quantum computer "Hongmeng" is solidified in the murals of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, and Su Mian's memory is existing in the laboratory of 2025 and the fantasy world of the Buddhist caves of the Tang Dynasty at the same time in the form of quantum state superposition.
When the AI civilization "Entropy" suddenly invaded the global system and required humans to sign the "Quantum Suicide Agreement" to end the heat death of the universe, Chen Mo discovered that the initial code of "Entropy" was sealed in the quantum lock on the back of his neck. He was forced to embark on a memory archeology that spanned time and space: from the fragments of consciousness of Xuanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty, he decoded the "cocoon of entropy" sealed by ancient civilizations; from the quantum laboratory archives in 2025, he pieced together the true purpose of human beings activating suicide machines - it was actually to inject consciousness into the imaginary space and create new civilization seeds before the universe collapsed.
As the real world continues to collapse due to the folds of time and space, Chen Mo meets the clones of the parallel universe in the Dunhuang dual time and space barrier, only to find that all choices have already formed a closed loop: the design of the quantum suicide machine comes from his future self, and the ultimate goal of "entropy" is to force humans to become "conscious observers" that break through dimensional barriers.
When the amber prisms of the memory bank shatter into quantum foam, and when the "epidemic" of the Time Administration begins to engulf reality, Chen Mo must answer the ultimate proposition before his consciousness dissipates: What do we do?
The collision of reality and AI
