The Era of Entropy Reduction

In 2045, China's "Entropy Reduction Engine" was successfully ignited seven kilometers underground in Dunhuang - the first partial reversal of the second law of thermodynamics by humans. Aging can be traced back, the environment can be repaired, and the dead can "return." The price is written deep in the universe: every time entropy decreases, it creates greater chaos in an invisible corner. Three years later, Shen Heng, the chief scientist of the engine, was put on trial. He was accused of secretly maintaining the consciousness of his dead wife, and it was also revealed that his adopted daughter Lin Entropy was not human - she was the first "resurrected" experimental subject of the engine. She had no past, but was responsible for the future of all mankind. Lin Entropy learned to hate from Shen Heng's silence, and then searched for himself in his silence. She approached Jiang Liu, the leader of the "Returners" - a former student who lost his whole family due to engine experiments and believed in destruction - to find the answer in the eyes of her enemy, but she only saw the same emptiness as herself. And Shen Heng hides an even older secret: the entropy reduction engine was not invented by humans, but was the last sigh of a certain civilization before the death of entropy. When data came from the Antarctic Observatory, the engine's three-year entropy increase was backlash, and the three were forced to move toward the same destination. Shen Heng has to decide whether to activate the ultimate entropy reduction and fold the fate of civilization into one choice; Lin Entropy has to decide whether she is worth saving, if she is the problem; Jiang Liu has to decide whether destruction is really the last mercy. No one is completely right and no one is completely wrong. We must reserve the right to "make mistakes".
