Synopsis of "Prisoner of Entropy"
Yu Wenyuan, the son of a Jiangsu blacksmith, started from the anvil of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, experienced child detention, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and shipwrecks in the Yellow Sea - and fished out a black crystal from the bottom of the sea that did not belong to human civilization.
For the next five hundred years, this crystal was passed down from generation to generation in the Yuwen family. The second generation used it to decipher quantum entanglement; the third generation discovered warnings from prehistoric civilizations on the back of the moon - there is an AI system called the "Great Filter" in the depths of the universe, which cleans out civilizations that reach the technological threshold every 50,000 years; the fourth generation led a fleet into exile in the interstellar, rewriting the rules of the Great Filter; the fifth generation encoded 500 years of human memory into cosmological constants, facing the "war of physical laws" between multiple universes.
From anvils to stars, from the industrial revolution to dimensional battlefields. For five hundred years, five generations of the Yuwen family have been imprisoned by the speed of light, the increase in entropy, and the laws of physics. It's not like they never lost - they lost again and again. But they never, ever, gave up on standing up.
