Astrophysicist Kosmos discovered an unusual modulation signal in the cosmic microwave background radiation.
After decoding, it turned out to be a civilization's last words from the pre-universe:
"We once existed, and finally fell into the abyss of knowledge. This is the entire essence of our existence, and it is also a warning: knowledge has its price."
The global scientific community is crazy about it, and countries are scrambling to invest resources in studying this "cosmic heritage" that exceeds current physical understanding.
The Cosmos team accidentally discovered that the signal itself has a subtle "self-destruction" mechanism.
The deeper the research, the more it will destroy the stability of the fundamental constants of the universe.
Humanity faces a dilemma: stop research and give up the opportunity to pry into the ultimate mysteries of the universe;
Or go deeper and risk the collapse of the physical laws of the universe.
