Dimension Anchor

In 2273, humans accidentally tore apart space during the "Singularity Engine" experiment and captured a "dimensional anchor" from the high-dimensional universe. This crystal-shaped object can convert three-dimensional matter into an "information state" that can be encoded. Physicist Lu Chen, who led the experiment, soon discovered that the anchor points contained the "civilizational last words" of the previous generation's three-dimensional universe: when the entropy increase of a universe reaches a critical value, high-dimensional civilization will drop the anchor points to "format" the three-dimensional space, compress the civilization into an information state and save it, waiting for the restart after the next Big Bang. What's even more frightening is that the anchor point is activating the "formatting program" on its own, and the phenomenon of "material blur" is occurring in many places on the earth: urban buildings turn into light and shadow data flows, and the bodies of those who come into contact will gradually become transparent, and eventually become disembodied "information ghosts". Lu Chen's wife Su Qing was one of the first batch of Hollowers. She left a clue before disappearing: the core of the anchor point is the "inverse calculation formula of entropy increase", and the "quantum entanglement characteristics" of the human brain are the only "anti-anchor point" that can resist formatting. When the global coalition government decided to destroy the anchor point to save existing humanity, Lu Chen discovered that destroying the anchor point would cause the dimension to collapse, and although formatting could preserve civilization information, it would erase all individual consciousness. In a game spanning three and four dimensions, he finally found a third way - using human "consciousness randomness" to tamper with the anchor code, allowing civilization to establish an eternal cycle between the information state and the material state, and he himself became the "living anchor" connecting the two dimensions.
