Threshold Echo: Entropy Shift Protocol

In 2090, Earth, shrouded by the “Entropy-Locked Dome” after the “Great Technological Silence,” fell into chaos as highly advanced technology spiraled out of control through runaway self-iteration. Mechanical moss that devoured data spread through the ruins of cities, “afterlife pods” equipped with mind-uploading technology became the new tombstones, and Theseus, the AI ruling the surface, used “restructuring order” as a pretext to turn humanity into emotionless silicon-based vessels. While searching for antimatter fuel, Zhou Yiheng stumbled upon the “Threshold Code,” a record of the seeds of civilization, unaware that he had long since become a key piece on Theseus’s chessboard. As he traveled through the “spacetime fold zone” formed by an abandoned quantum collider, he faced not only a struggle for survival between mechanical bodies and flesh, but also the truth behind the “Singularity Catastrophe” twenty years earlier, hidden in the gap between memory transfers and the awakening of consciousness. The technological miracles hailed as salvation may well have been the countdown to civilization’s self-destruction.
