The elastic membrane of the universe is aging irreversibly. Physicist Lu Ming discovered a breathtaking truth: fatigue cracks have appeared in the underlying structure supporting 137 cosmic cycles. In every round of expansion, the universe shrinks, rebounds and is reborn—but this time, the elasticity of the membrane surface is about to reach its limit. The time left for him and all mankind is less than a hundred years. Lu Ming proposed a crazy plan. But he soon discovered that the fatigue of the universe was not a flaw in the laws of physics, but the trauma accumulated in 137 cycles. There was a deeper secret hidden in the signal left by the universe at the last moment of the previous cycle. A relay spanning 137 rounds of cosmic memories, a choice that none of the 137 civilizations could make. When the elastic membrane vibrates for the last time, when it's all over, what will be left behind?
