Dimension Choice

When human beings truly mastered "space" for the first time, civilization did not usher in the liberation imagined, but was pushed into an unavoidable assessment. In 2075, human beings are growing toward the sky in the "suspended light" of the three-dimensional city. The "Source Sequence Protocol" that came fifty years ago gave a very small number of people the ability to control space, at the cost of overdrawing themselves. They are called the Accordmakers and are considered heroes. Lu Shen is one of them. During a fire rescue, he folded space to save lives, but it also caused a chain of accidents. The regulatory agency SAPB determined that he was compliant, but quietly upgraded the monitoring. Incomprehensible gray hints began to flash in the depths of his retina, overlapping his fate with that of the first batch of protocol participants who disappeared fifty years ago - Lin Zheng's grandfather Lin Chuan. Lu Shen gradually discovered that there was a more secretive gaze behind SAPB's huge observation network. The mysterious organization told him that every "accident" might be a design, and every protocol participant was a sample. In low-Earth orbit, the undetectable existence is updating the progress bar: [Earth Civilization·Space Test Progress: 7.5%]. This is not a superpower story. This was a test of civilization that lasted half a century. Lu Shen must make a choice between the rules of the system, the temptation of the rebels, and his inner conscience. And the ultimate truth may be: the most dangerous thing is not failing the test, but perfectly following the rules set by others. When space can be folded, where is the boundary between reality and virtuality? When kindness is quantified and scored, is kindness itself still pure? Every choice Lu Shen makes is writing answers for the entire human civilization.
