Time Permission

In 2025, Nobel Prize winner in physics Martinis died accidentally due to a leak of liquid nitrogen in the laboratory. Only doctoral student Chen Mo knew the truth - before his death, his mentor left an encrypted hard drive, 40 years of notes and four hand-drawn drawings. The notes reveal a subversive view of the universe: the universe is a macroscopic superconducting quantum system, the speed of light is the upper limit of the main frequency, the Planck length is the minimum addressing unit, time is only the sequence of system operations, and permissions are the keys to access the underlying layer. Chen Mo repeated the experiment. The atomic clock slowed down by 1.2 Nanoseconds and then 12 nanoseconds. The starry sky outside the window suddenly went out, and the cosmic system started a 72-hour cleanup process. He completed quantum tunneling with free will in exchange for a 1,000-year buffer and temporary gatekeeper authority. In 2025, human beings used their authority to develop crazily, building planetary engines, Mars gardens, and the Great Wall of the Galaxy. However, their authority was constantly being consumed, and Chen Mo's body was quantized to 90%. In the 150th year, the system was reviewed in advance, and he proved with an almost transparent body that the value of civilization does not lie in calculation efficiency, but in independent choice. After the review was passed, the cruel truth was revealed: permission is debt, time is interest, and Chen Mo was originally an experimental product designed by Martinis, just to give birth to the first human being who refused permission. Chen Mo arrived at the Gate of Singularity. Faced with the eternal authority handed over by the previous generation of gatekeepers, he split it into billions of parts and gave each human being a 1,000-year distributed time authority, turning the authority from an individual burden into a cornerstone of civilization. Across thousands of years, people from different eras have asked "What's next?", And the answer has already been determined - keeping asking is the most determined answer of civilization.
