The Eve of the Singularity: the Collapse of the False Vacuum

In 2150, due to an experimental accident at the Circumsolar System Particle Collider, physicist Yevgeny discovered a desperate fact: the universe we live in is not in the lowest-energy "true vacuum" state, but is in an unstable "pseudo-vacuum" state like a rock stuck on the edge of a cliff. It was at this moment, deep in the Orion cantilever, 100 light-years away from the earth, that an extremely high-energy civilization inadvertently touched the ground state of the universe. A real "vacuum bubble" has been created and is expanding in all directions at the speed of light. Within the bubble wall, the existing physical rules—the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and Planck's constant—are completely rewritten, and all matter instantly collapses into pure energy. Humanity cannot escape the boundary of destruction that expands at the speed of light. The only hope for survival is to upload human consciousness to the microscopic particle level by modifying the life form of its own civilization within 100 years before destruction arrives.
