Forty-Seven Seconds

In 2089, quantum physicist Su Chen observed an impossible data in the laboratory—the quantum entangled state lasted 47 billion times longer than the theoretical value. What's even weirder is that the quantum field is "responding" to the observer. After his mentor, Academician Chen, left behind an encrypted USB flash drive, he allowed his consciousness to permanently leave the body and "return" to the quantum field during the experiment. Su Chen opened the USB flash drive and discovered a truth that shocked the world: The human brain is not the source of consciousness, but the "interface" connected to the quantum field of the universe. Consciousness does not belong to an individual, it belongs to the entire universe. Death is not the end, but the return of consciousness to its source. But Academician Chen's warning followed "The quantum field is alive. It is conscious. It is watching us." "And those pre-human civilizations that chose 'immortality' have become guardians. They will not allow humanity to repeat their mistakes." Su Chen discovered that he was born with a "quantum abnormality" - he could see the consciousness field invisible to ordinary people, could hear the whispers deep in the universe, and could sense the existence of those "guardians". But this talent also made him a prey. When human society falls into division due to the technology of "consciousness immortality", when corporate giants attempt to monopolize the keys to life and death, and the current guardians of human civilization begin to eliminate "threats", Su Chen must make a choice: Follow the footsteps of your mentor and use science to explore the ultimate truth of consciousness? Or return to the ordinary and accept death as a part of life? The deeper problem is If immortality meant losing your humanity, would you still want it? If death were a gift from the universe, would you still be afraid?
