Star Cage

——When humans discover the truth of the universe, they realize that the most terrifying thing is not the darkness, but the trapped light. In 2089, Lin Xia, chief scientist of the Kuiper Belt Observatory, captured a set of mysterious signals from the edge of the solar system. After deciphering it, humans were shocked to discover: - The solar system is surrounded by a huge dodecahedron barrier, and all data returned by deep space probes are carefully crafted lies. - The alien signal is not a greeting, but a test agreement - only civilizations that have passed "cognitive upgrade" are qualified to know the truth of the universe. - - The USB flash drive left by Lin Xia's father contains top-secret files on the first contact between humans thirty years ago, as well as a warning from the future. As the signal continues to be decoded, human society descends into madness. When Lin Xia finally broke through the cognitive barrier, she saw the despairing truth - human beings are not lonely intelligent life in the universe, but the 7214th batch of samples to be observed in a higher civilization laboratory. This article is a pastime of the author (the author is just an ordinary 14-year-old junior high school student who likes to read science fiction novels) when he is bored. However, the inspiration does not fall from the sky, but comes from the many science fiction film and television works I have read. Therefore, in this novel, you can also see the shadow of other science fiction film and television works, but I think this can be regarded as a tribute to them.
