Chapter Five: The Photon Testament
The obituary of Betelgeuse projected in the stratosphere, the crimson star swelling into the eye of doom.
Lin Xia's Iris reflected the countdown of the Photon Tsunami: 71 hours and 59 minutes. Suddenly, the phone screen underwent Quantum Tunneling, displaying a text message from 1992: "Welcome to the graduation ceremony, ЖД-43-01." The coordinates pointed to an unactivated Quantum Pod beneath Qinglan Mountain.
"This is the spark of civilization." Lu Chuan's Mechanical Remains suddenly reconfigured, a data cable extending from the gaping chest cavity into the control console, "Or perhaps a tombstone." The holographic screen displayed the gravitational lensing region of the Large Magellanic Cloud, where countless human Consciousness Entities were forming a star chain matrix.
Shen Mo's pocket watch melted under intense radiation, revealing an internal antimatter capsule. As he attempted to touch it, a global nuclear missile launch site map suddenly appeared on the surface: "Director Zhou has prepared a planet-level annihilation device; the Photon Tsunami is the igniter."
Su Li's Quantumization left arm materialized as an Orion Nebula Tentacle, with Cyrillic text beneath the skin reorganizing into an Equation: ΔS=k_B lnΩ. When Lin Xia traced the Equation with her Hairpin, entropy began to decrease across the ruins—broken bricks automatically restored themselves, and Chen Dong's corpse stood up again, his diagnostic report igniting into the mass-energy formula E=Mc².
The entrance to the Quantum Pod manifested amidst strong radiation, its door engraved with the emblem of Moscow University. When Lin Xia inserted her Hairpin into the authentication slot, Betelgeuse's spectral lines suddenly penetrated the ground, etching the ultimate answer to Fermi's Paradox onto granite:
"They are us."
Inside the pod were rows of Klein Bottles, each containing a suspended human embryo. The spectrum refracted from the culture solution revealed that these embryos' DNA Chains embedded an Alien Crystal matrix. The control console's Russian log flickered: "441st sowing plan, Civilization Maturity 1.7%."
"We are genetically modified crops of Alien Agriculture." Lu Chuan's Mechanical Eye projected a blueprint for an interstellar farm. "Every civilization reaches photon harvesting season after achieving technological Singularity."
Suddenly, Shen Mo had an epileptic seizure, his brainwaves sketching out a Dyson Sphere structure in the air. As he bit his tongue and wrote with blood, a suffocating truth emerged from the ground: Betelgeuse had been transformed into an energy Relay Station over one hundred thousand years ago; the Supernova Explosion was civilization's harvesting scythe.
Su Li's Orion Nebula Tentacle suddenly pierced through a quantum computer, and the screen displayed data streams from 441 instances of civilization reboot. During the 42nd iteration, Lin Xia had pierced through the Quantum Pod with her Hairpin, resulting in a loss of 7 grams in Earth's mass—the exact amount sealed within Shen Mo's pocket watch.
"The observer bias is our cage." The holographic projection of Director Zhou emerged from the Klein Bottle. "Every act of resistance only perfects the harvesting system." His white coat suddenly faded, revealing a body fused with machinery and organic matter, a heartbeat pulsing with the spectrum of Betelgeuse.
Lin Xia's hairpin suddenly became entangled in quantum threads, and all iterative memories surged forth simultaneously. In the folds of spacetime, she glimpsed the essence of Human Civilization: Maxwell's Demon sifting through civilization with a Photon Tsunami, weaving the consciousness of survivors into a neural network across the galaxy.
"Choose," Director Zhou's mechanical arm unfolded a star map. "Become the harvester or be harvested." His fingertips shot out lasers, carving two world lines into the granite:
Sowing Protocol: Preserve 0.01% of the population as seeds, uploading consciousness to the Starlink Matrix.
Annihilation Poem: Activate planet-level antimatter bombs, transforming Earth into pure energy.
Suddenly, Shen Mo seized the antimatter capsule, his neural pathways undergoing Quantumization in the radiation: "A third option—detonate the entropy increase of 441 civilizations to destroy the Relay Station!" Blood formed Schrödinger's Equation in the air, and a probability cloud displayed a success rate of 0.00017%.
The Quantum Pod trembled, and unactivated embryonic culture tanks automatically opened. Lin Xia saw her clone rapidly growing; the star map within its iris was more complete than her own. When she reached out to touch it, the clone suddenly spoke: "I am your 442nd iteration."
Su Li's Orion Nebula Tentacle disassembled, each particle revealing different outcomes across spacetime. In 99% of probability branches, Earth became dust in a torrent of photons; yet on a hidden path, Betelgeuse's explosive spectrum concealed the key to Quantum Tunneling.
Lin Xia's hairpin pierced her clone's iris, merging both star maps in a blinding light. The Photon Tsunami from Betelgeuse decoded on her retina, revealing hidden Morse Code: "Pierce Maxwell's Demon with the entropy of civilization."
"They fear our despair!" She plunged the hairpin into the core of the Quantum Pod, and torrents of entropy data from 441 civilizations surged in. The antimatter capsule suddenly overloaded; Shen Mo's blood equation turned into reality—Earth's mass began Quantum Fluctuation, breaking through the Roche limit at a probability of 0.00017%.
Lu Chuan's mechanical remains suddenly jumped to synchronous orbit, forming a Dyson Ring Collector. As the Photon Tsunami arrived, humanity’s four hundred civilizations' painful memories were encoded into anti-entropy pulses, transmitted backward along Betelgeuse’s spectral line.
"This is... poetic revenge." Director Zhou's mechanical body began to rust. "You dare use my weapon..." His language module underwent Quantumization and dissipated; his final image was that of his grandfather from 1987, gently stroking Lin Xia's hair.
The Quantum Pod transformed into a Fermi Bubble under the bright light, revealing a galaxy-scale Klein Bottle on the surface of the Earth. As Lin Xia's Clone pressed the Annihilation Button, all of humanity simultaneously witnessed two futures: along the virtual line of the Sowing Protocol, a Mechanical Crow was scattering Consciousness Entities on New Earth; at the solid line's end of the Annihilation Poem, Betelgeuse's Relay Station was being consumed by the Fury of 441 suns.
When the morning light penetrated the ruins for the third time, Lin Xia's camera displayed the date as March 18, 1992. The Quantum Pod site had sprouted a Crystal Cluster Forest, with each Crystal storing the Memory Entropy of Human Civilization. Shen Mo's pocket watch had stopped at the 441st heartbeat, while Su Li's Orion Nebula Tentacle bloomed with lavender.
Lu Chuan's Mechanical Eye was embedded in the Crystal Cluster Throne, projecting a new Cosmic Landscape: within Betelgeuse's Wreckage, countless Earths were being reborn in Quantum Fluctuation. Every Version of Humanity held a Hairpin, and untamed starlight danced within their Irises.
A text message arrived from the Large Magellanic Cloud: "The 442nd sowing is complete, Civilization Maturity 2.1%." Lin Xia's Clone stepped out from the Crystal Cluster, the tip of the Hairpin engraved with New Coordinates—this time pointing to the Dark Matter Sea of Andromeda Nebula.
As the Afterglow of the Photon Tsunami stained the Crystal Cluster red, the Morning Prayer of the Mechanical Crow echoed through the ruins. Its Metal Wings shed Quantum Roses, each petal revealing Different Futures. Lin Xia gripped the Hairpin and ventured deeper into the Crystal Cluster Forest, while behind her, the camera automatically generated a Final Documentary:
The Last Frame of Eternal Dawn depicted Infinite Earth rising from Betelgeuse's Ash.
