Chapter 186: Chapter 187: Manager Yita
Zhang Yuan mulled over in his heart, since that voice could directly translate into something he could understand, then it’s very likely that this alien civilization had read various information from his space suit instruments, or even possibly cracked his brain structure!
After all, the Solar System, Earth is just a noun, so what’s the harm in telling them?
“…Turning me into what I am now, surely they wouldn’t kill me immediately, right?”
There was a moment of silence from the other side, as if they didn’t understand Zhang Yuan’s defense, then another message came through: “Intruder, state your purpose for invading the η high-dimensional prison!”
“Invasion?”
Zhang Yuan felt that the guy on the other end was rather foolish. He had already said it wasn’t an invasion, and yet they insisted on calling it one.
He hurriedly shouted, “Injustice, true injustice! I didn’t invade, I caught one of your criminals!”
“I’ve made a contribution!”
“Do you know that the monster from your prison has escaped?!”
“?R%mp;amp;;$?Program error, self-check in progress, please wait…”
After patiently waiting for half an hour, Zhang Yuan still hadn’t received a response.
What’s the situation?
Zhang Yuan had no idea what was going on with that guy outside, just that there wasn’t any noise anymore, and then nobody else paid any attention to him.
He faintly felt that something wasn’t right.
With nothing better to do, he began to carefully ponder over what he was seeing.
Right now he couldn’t perceive his whole body. He didn’t need to breathe, nor blink, nor even move his eyeballs. It was extremely uncomfortable!
There were two main possibilities.
First, he only had a head left and had been “brained in a vat.”
“Second, my consciousness has been uploaded to a computer!”
Either way, the two possibilities weren’t much different.
This feeling was truly uncomfortable. Apart from being able to think normally with my brain, he was completely immobile.
But the mere thought of the science fiction-level technology of “consciousness upload” made Zhang Yuan’s mouth go dry. This was a completely different concept from immersive VR!
Pretending to swallow spit, since he had no body, he could only feign the action, and then he felt a bit better.
“What’s the other side doing? Have they crashed?” Zhang Yuan cursed in his mind.
“If… this computer carrying my consciousness reboots, I won’t just kick the bucket, will I?”
“Anyway, being alive is always better than being dead… Better not die.”
With utmost boredom, Zhang Yuan’s mind began to wander, conjuring various novels he had read.
“Could it be that a person’s whole life… is really just a ‘brain in a vat,’ and after death, we end up in another, more real world? Have I committed a crime in a higher-level world, and as a punishment, I am living an unremarkable life in this mundane virtual world?”
Zhang Yuan almost laughed at his wild thoughts.
Clearly, he didn’t even have a face now, so he couldn’t even make the gesture of smiling.
“Ah… More likely, this place should be the command center for detaining high-dimensional life.”
“If it were a prison, there should be some sort of monitoring device, not allowing prisoners to die at will.”
Yes, that must be it. Even the prisons on Earth worked that way. If a prisoner inexplicably died in prison, the guards would also be punished.
Aliens… should be similar, right?
“This super-civilization’s monitoring system must have found me, this unidentified person, about to bite the dust, and then captured me, turning me into what I am now.”
That thought made more sense.
But then, if this is a high-civilization prison, why did the interrogator just now seem so dim-witted and suddenly crash?
“Maybe because it took the direct hit of a supernova, the prison blew up? That’s possible!”
Zhang Yuan pondered.
But now, he was a fish on the cutting board. Apart from quietly waiting, there was nothing he could do.
He screamed out, “Before me, there should have been two other humans who fell into the prison, right? Where are they?”
“Can anyone answer me?”

“Is there anyone out there? Anyone at all?”
There was no reply; the whole world seemed to consist only of him.
This time he truly waited for a long time, this kind of monotonous silence was akin to torture. Zhang Yuan forced himself to keep falling into a stupor, believing he might go completely insane from boredom if he didn’t sleep.
Fortunately, in this state, falling asleep became incredibly easy; he would be out the moment he closed his eyes—he had no idea how long each nap could actually last… until eventually, the periods of stupor began to grow longer and longer…
[Q!?;;…Self-check results as follows: Logic database lost up to 78.1%, Data storage lost amounting to 64.23%, 1145 dangerous vulnerabilities detected in η high-dimensional prison!]
[System restoration in progress%…]
[Restoration failed!]
After some chaotic reasoning, this superintelligence known as Yita finally realized that its high-dimensional prison had not withstood the blast of that supernova, many devices had turned into a pile of stupid electronic garbage…
The loss of the logic database meant that it couldn’t perform self-repair.
In sheer helplessness, it started seeking assistance from external information sources incessantly.
[Attempting to connect with Gaia Civilization’s Seventh Laboratory.]
[Connecting…]
[Connection failed.]
[…]
[Attempting to connect with Gaia Civilization’s Eighth Laboratory.]
[Connecting…]
[Connection failed…]
Without question, all attempts made to contact the principal civilization had failed.
In the end, out of sheer helplessness, it selected an option of the lowest priority.
[Attempting to connect with the Amoeba Civilization…]
[Connection successful!]
[Response received.]
[…Respected Manager Yita, we have received your message. By chance, a fleet from our civilization is nearby, please wait a moment.]
That waiting… turned out to be nearly a hundred years.
…
The Amoeba Civilization, a typical King Worm centralized collectivist civilization, originated from AmiBa Star in the Andromeda Galaxy. In the Primitive Era, apart from reproduction, they possessed no intelligence to speak of, merely a group of highly aggressive Amoeba. These creatures, with their potent genetic mutation capabilities, rapidly reproduced en masse, conquered the entire planet, and became the apex of the food chain…
By chance, the Gaia Civilization passed by this primitive planet and, under various enlightenments, the group of Amoeba gradually abandoned their primal state and embarked on the path of technological development.
King Worm-based civilizations naturally revolve around the King Worms. These so-called King Worms are the naturally intelligent and dictatorial individuals within the species, capable of controlling the fate of all members.
In such a civilization, division of labor among individuals is clear-cut, with unified goals and extraordinarily high efficiency.
They established star interstellar trading posts, known for being “fair” and “just.” Civilizations of the Gaia Faction generally do not have a strong tendency to plunder.
Of course, the so-called “fairness and justice” is only relative; at the end of the day, making money is of the highest importance.
What the Amoeba Civilization excels in the most is curvature and superluminal travel. Thanks to these, the Amoeba traders’ footprints spread across the Virgo Supercluster, including the Milky Way.
Unique social structures combined with extensive trade activities enabled them to overcome various challenges. After millions of years of development, the Amoeba Civilization has become a well-known… Level 6 Civilization in the Virgo Supercluster!
…
Zhang Yuan had no idea how long he had been lying in this damned blue space when, suddenly, his head throbbed, and the ground and mountains seemed to shake. The blue light in front of his eyes diminished greatly, and the whole world appeared to collapse.
“What are you doing, what the hell are you doing!”
Zhang Yuan shouted, “How long have you let me sleep? Can you at least send me back? I’m not your prisoner!”
“Sir, is there a consciousness of a low-level civilization present here?”
An Amoeba Insect discovered the anomaly at the computer control end and exclaimed in surprise.
“It might have entered through one of the high-risk vulnerabilities. Ignore it, we have no authority to deal with this. Once we’ve repaired the Artificial Intelligence Yita, it can handle this itself.”
“Yes, sir.”
