Three-Body Problem - Conceptual Empty

The universe is a cold string net, and all civilizations are prey on the net. Those top predators are called "zero hunters" - they do not feed on material things, but only harvest the "meaning" of civilization. In the galaxies swallowed by them, the stars lost their voices and the creatures became empty shells. In the first hundred years since humans entered the sea of ​​​​stars, a low-level scavenger named Lin Zhe accidentally awakened a once-forbidden ability: tuning. He can sense and pluck the lowest strings of the universe, changing local physical laws. This is humanity's last trump card and the reason why the entire universe is hunting him. The Titanium Sand Empire viewed him as a disruptive noise. The Phage Network longs to assimilate him into a morsel of collective consciousness. Within the Human Federation, someone wanted to sacrifice him in exchange for peace. And Lin Zhe discovered an ultimate truth in the shadow of the Zero Hunter's gaze - every interstellar war, every abuse of string energy, is like ringing a cosmic death knell, which will lead to faster harvest. This is not a story about a hero saving the world. This is a story about how humans redefine "survival" in a crazy universe.
