In 2077, mechanic Lin Xia held the counter-entropy welding gun left behind by her father and pointed it at the rusty bronze tripod - the cracks in the tripod's body were concrete Möbius strips, and the fluorescent blue light flow oozing out resonated with the ∞-shaped scar on her forearm. The 37% of human genes that are judged to be "defects" are the only key to cracking the "Bronze Sophon Cleaning Protocol".
When the strawberry-flavored antifreeze dripped from the tip of the welding gun (the seventh warning before my father disappeared), the silhouette of the turret of the Forbidden City appeared in the tripod - this is not a historical projection, but the materialization of the quantum server, and the 64-hexagram star chart is growing in the form of neurons. Gilded blood oozes from the back of the neck of his partner Lu Yunci's bronze prosthetic body. His memory has long been replaced with sacrificial scenes from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and his father's wedding ring on his wrist is pulling his genetic telomeres toward quantum collapse.
The truth is as cruel as the hexagram of the melting tripod: the anti-entropy armory is an anti-logical weapon forged with defect rates, and Lin Xia's scar is the biological safety bolt of the weapon. When she discovered her father's last mark inside the cauldron - the half-melted "sleep" hexagram embedded with strawberry graffiti from her childhood, the gravitational waves of the Sophon fleet had folded Beijing into a giant bronze cauldron.
The blue light of the welding gun and the golden light of the sophon overlapped in the retina. Lin Xia had to choose: use 37% of the "defects" to weld the cracks of civilization, or let his genes resonate with Lu Yunci's prosthetic body, and in the strong light bursting from the space-time solder joint, bet on the 37th possibility of human beings - even if the cost is that the welding gun melts through the heart, and the strawberry-colored blood is forever solidified on the title page of the quantum covenant.
