Galaxy Prisoner

In the distant past, humanity was the most dangerous civilization in the galaxy. They spanned the spiral arms, manipulated stars, modified local physical laws, and tried to completely "absolutely liberalize" the universe, ultimately triggering a brutal war covering the entire galaxy. After the defeat, the old humans were brainwashed by the Galactic Community, exiled to Earth, and subjected to systematic memory suppression and civilization restart experiments. For tens of thousands of years, observers have maintained the isolation of the solar system through a network of blockade walls, using minimal energy consumption to maintain the activity of old human legacy devices, just to observe whether the "dangerous seeds" will awaken again. Lin Shen, a modern human radio astrophysicist, and Erin, a former NASA astronaut, discovered ancient facilities under the Antarctic ice and a mechanical city on the back of the moon. Ye Ning, a linguist from ancient civilization, deciphered the "cage" star map. Along with the global abnormal synchronization, the sky flickered, and the blockade wall briefly appeared. For the first time, humans realized: the sky is fake and we are prisoners. With the awakening of the memory seeds of the White Crow, the complete history of the old humans is understood. Humanity must face the ultimate choice between accepting gentle imprisonment or pursuing the unlimited freedom that once nearly destroyed the galaxy. The novel contains profound philosophical speculation: between infinite freedom and orderly rules, how should civilization deal with itself.
