Vacuum Time Archives

In the not-too-distant future, quantum physicist Lin Shuo built a "vacuum structure analysis array" in Antarctica and unexpectedly discovered that vacuum is not empty—it contains information about all time. Every passing moment is forever deposited in the depths of the vacuum. As the analysis deepened, Lin Shuo read about humans from the future, using their burning lives to issue a warning: The price of time editing is the collapse of time itself. Each write creates cracks in the fabric of time, and the cracks accumulate until everything is nothing. At the same time, Lin Shuo discovered that the death of his mentor Chen Weimin in the ITER accident fourteen years ago was not an accident. In order to control the time editing technology, the multinational energy giant IEIG tampered with the ITER cooling system. Chen Weimin discovered the conspiracy. He chose to stay in the control room and manually closed the "write channel" that IEIG tried to open, protecting the security of time with his own life. Lin Shuo must make a choice: he changes the past and saves his mentor - but the price is an 87% success rate, a 13% probability of causing vacuum collapse, and a 1% probability of world destruction; or accept the loss, remember the truth, let the world know IEIG's crimes, and let people in the future live because of his choice. He chose not to write. He chose to remember. He sank the key to editing time into a five-kilometer-deep crack in the Antarctic lake and built a "time archive" for everyone to visit and remember - those who died, those who disappeared, those who are remembered...
