Chapter 185: Chapter 186 η High-Dinsional Prison Chapter 185: Chapter 186 η High-Dinsional Prison “A day’s ti, the three explorers who repeatedly entered exploration also ca out one by one, just as exhausted as Li Zhendong, practically paralyzed.
Unfortunately and fortunately, they didn’t discover any extra information.
One of the young scientists softly said, “After these repeated experints, once one cos out, everything left behind inside disappears. It must have entered a different space.”
Li Zhendong couldn’t help but say, “Maybe we can try again. Who knows, maybe after a hundred or a thousand attempts, we could find traces left before.”
One of the Deputy Captains shook his head, “Let it go. The passage of ti is almost the sa on both sides. By that calculation… it’s just futile. With our current experintal conditions, trying to fathom this high-dinsional fragnt is too strenuous, not unless we reach the new Mother Star…”
Once it was confird that the oxygen Zhang Yuan carried had been depleted and there was no possibility of self-rescue, the conference room fell completely silent.
Captain Zhao couldn’t help but wipe his eyes, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.
He still found it sowhat unbelievable, his genius junior brother… just died like this?
But the facts were right in front of them, and there was nothing more to say.
The lights were very bright, no one made a sound… and everyone mourned silently for five minutes.
Then, the eting passed a few resolutions and confird the next steps, including comforting the relatives and the decision to seal the high-dinsional fragnt.
With humanity’s current capabilities, having only one spaceship and insufficient operational equipnt, there was no capacity or enough fault tolerance to study it further.
No matter how curious or excited they were, it couldn’t be done, for the appearance of so bizarre life form would be too dangerous.
“Ladies and gentlen, any further research should wait until we reach the new Mother Star… we are still far too weak.”
“As for the Hero morial Hall, preparations can start. Our civilization isn’t lacking heroes, only those who cherish them…”
…
After the morial service concluded, Zhang Yuan had been honored as a “Civilization Hero,” the highest distinction in the Hero morial Hall.
A Civilization Hero is only soone who alone saves civilization or makes a monuntal contribution to an era, and might even be included in textbooks for future generations to learn and admire.
Several journalists snapped many photos and pondered over how to draft their articles.
The whole affair still sounded a bit terrifying, with many things lacking evidence, purely speculative; writing the article would be quite challenging…
“Mr. Li Zhendong, could you tell us what the High-dinsional World is actually like?”
“Any clues about special alien life forms? How do you determine that there really was alien life? It’s all just conjectures, conjectures can’t be treated as fact, can they?”
Li Zhendong, now sothing of a hero, was surrounded by various journalists, feeling quite unsettled.
He just wanted to go ho and sleep, sleep for days and nights without waking but couldn’t refuse the interviews, so he had to endure and said briefly, “High-dinsional World? I’m sorry, I can’t describe it, you might look at the video… but there indeed are so clues left by alien life.”
“…We found so abnormal code in a great number of computers. The way these codes are written is very strange, not human made… perhaps because they were suddenly pulled into the high-dinsional world, there was no ti to revert. These abnormal codes suffice as evidence, I believe.”
“Can you imagine… a scenario where all computers are monitored by alien life?”
A few journalists shuddered involuntarily.
…
Looking at the bustling crowd inside the Hero morial Hall, Lin Xuanyuan’s mind was blank, her entire being numb, and all sounds seed surreal.
As Zhang Yuan’s life partner, she would enjoy significant welfare benefits in the days ahead. But what was the point of inheriting so-called legacies?
A female doctor sat quietly in a nearby chair; this psychologist was also her good friend, but in such a situation, she didn’t know what to say. The pain of losing a loved one could only be endured through one’s own strength; there was no other way.
“Xuanxuan, should I prescribe you so antidepressants… not sleeping or eating isn’t good either…”
“No need.”
Lin Xuanyuan forced a smile, “Rather, arrange for to enter hibernation. Let wake up after reaching the new Mother Star, can it be done…”
Her only thought now was to hibernate sooner, to hibernate quickly, perhaps waking up to a better world?
She still rembered that year, only after awakening from hibernation had she t Zhang Yuan… perhaps the next awakening from hibernation might also bring so good things.
The doctor beca silent upon hearing this, well aware that it was an act of evasion. Even if soone woke up long after, they couldn’t co back to life, so why not accept this fact?
However, seeing his good friend in such a despondent state, he agreed to the request after a mont. “Alright, once we reach the Mother Star, as the population of those awake increases, the atmosphere will be livelier… and perhaps a bit happier too.”
…
Marx had a famous proposition: Humans are the sum of social relations. Humanity’s civilization would continue to function normally without anyone, and the absence of Zhang Yuan was no exception.
Half a year later, the whole incident had cald down, and Captain Zhao and others had once again entered into hibernation.
In the following period, batches of people took turns waking from hibernation, learning about the entire storyline. While they sighed, they could not help feeling a bit frightened.
In the dim universe, where bizarre life forms abounded, one could never know what they might encounter next. In contrast, humans were exceedingly frail. The solemn, oppressive atmosphere of the Hero morial Hall, on the other hand, offered a faint sense of safety.

…
Zhang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, finding himself in a very strange place, surrounded by various blue luminescent dots, and he felt as if he were floating in midair.
His mind was still in a haze.
It took quite a while before he began to regain clarity.
“What’s going on? Am I not dead?”
“Where is this…”
“Have I… been captured by aliens?”
Zhang Yuan looked around cautiously. However, he couldn’t even perform the simple act of “looking around.” He couldn’t sense his own body’s presence, as if he had turned into a formless entity.
He considered his visible surroundings; besides the blue luminescent dots, there was nothing else.
[Intruder, please identify yourself.]
A neutral voice, devoid of emotion or gender distinction, suddenly resounded in his mind, startling Zhang Yuan.
What’s going on? An intruder?
Zhang Yuan thought for a second and quickly betrayed his holand.
“Hello… My na is Zhang Yuan, from the Solar System, Earth. I love peace and cherish the purity of white… May I ask your na?”
