Frozen: Stardust Embers

In 2200, the "Dianlong" landing disaster released deadly "stardust cold fog", forming the rapidly expanding Titan ice sheet, kicking off the end of the world. The global average temperature plummeted, small countries were destroyed, and human civilization was shrouded in the shadow of the cold wave. Scientists Yu Xiaomiao and Lu Fan keenly discovered that greenhouse gases will trigger an exponential increase in ice sheets, predicted a "dead winter" (in fact, there is no connection), and warned of a crisis in Roper City. However, amid the illusion of "false spring" and the absurd prosperity of the "Titan Economy", their early warnings were ignored or even canceled by the Global Stardust Monitoring Agency. The United Civilization Council of Humanity (UCCH) failed to gather strength in the early stages of the crisis, and science gave way to political shortsightedness and popular numbness. Yu Xiaomiao's team launched the "Isolation Bubble Project" as a private sector, conducted difficult experiments in the theme park "Puff Palu World", and accumulated data at the cost of their lives. At the same time, the "Phoenix" plan, which pinned the hope of human escape, stagnated for more than 20 years, and finally ran aground amid the endless debate about "who leaves and who stays." In 2239, the Phoenix's ignition accidentally triggered the critical point, the prophecy came true, and the ice sheet was devoured at a rapid rate. The hasty "race for the dome" exposed all kinds of human nature: great power competition, technological monopoly, and cutting corners. When the cold wave finally engulfed the surface, the survivors escaped into the six domes, only to realize that the "Ice Cradle" agreement of higher civilization was the root cause - human struggle, but in exchange for a cold assessment of "Sociology + 3". The blade of time cuts through all the pretense of civilization.
