The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 8 Interstellar World (Part 1)

Because of her skeptical questioning, Jiang Hui was pushed into the emergency room by a group of overreacting medical staff.

Then five or six people hurriedly examined Jiang Hui on the emergency table.

This time, I was truly at their mercy. As soon as I was put on the emergency table, my four legs were restrained with something that looked like an oxygen mask, leaving me with absolutely no room to resist.

Those people would put something on her head one minute, hang something on her waist the next, and then they wouldn't even spare her fingers, sticking something on each one... She felt like a dead fish, being turned over and over, with the continuous "beep beep" of the machines all around her ears.

"Have the test results come out yet?"

"She just came out, but that was a superficial test. Her questions just now clearly indicated memory loss, possibly functional damage caused by brain lobe injury..." It seems that her questions were misinterpreted as a brain injury and amnesia.

What about her brainwaves now?

"She seems fine, but a little agitated. Oh, now she's starting to fluctuate wildly again..." Oh, that's because she got agitated by what you all said.

“My blood analysis on her side was also fine. Her blood concentration and other aspects were all within the normal range. She was just a little malnourished.”

"I also have a problem... She has a minor heart issue and might need open-heart surgery. But it's a minor problem and should be cured quickly. If it doesn't work, we can replace her heart with a Hertos product..."

"What's wrong? Why is she so agitated? Her mental strength level is off the charts, far exceeding that of other unawakened individuals of the same level. This is very abnormal. Her heart rate is also abnormally fast. Look, she seems to be convulsing. She might be lacking oxygen. Quickly, give her oxygen—"

Jiang Hui: ...I was scared, okay?!
What do you mean by "a minor heart problem," and what's with all this talk about artificial replacement or some kind of "product"?! I'm a human being, for crying out loud! Don't describe it like you're fixing a car...

Strange instruments, seemingly epoch-making terminology, an environment beyond common knowledge, and all the experiences she had since waking up in that bizarre room... all seemed to be telling her about some abnormal and earth-shattering changes.

Jiang Hui had a strong premonition that she was no longer in the conventional world she knew.

Lying on the emergency table being "rescued" by various so-called instruments, she, already exhausted, gradually fell into a coma.

In her sleep, she began to dream.

-------------

Jiang Hui sometimes feels that her life does have a certain dramatic element.

Born into an ordinary, happy family, she was suddenly separated from her family by an unexpected accident, leaving her all alone in the world. After finally growing up and leaving school, she got a good opportunity, but due to natural disasters and human calamities, she missed it and was forced to take any job to make a living.

Just as she was reluctantly accepting her fate and preparing to make a name for herself in an industry she had never imagined, she inexplicably ended up here again...

Good heavens, can anyone tell her what happened to make a human from Earth travel to the interstellar era, hundreds of thousands of light-years in the future?

Yes, after the doctors' emergency treatment, she finally "remembered" some memories—or rather, quickly browsed through the memories remaining in this body.

The memory is of a little girl living a carefree life on a planet in the inner galaxy. She had a happy family from a young age and grew up under the love of her parents. Then, she lost everything in an unfortunate accident.

Her guardianship was temporarily placed within the family, awaiting adoption by other collateral relatives. However, a week ago, after her second awakening, her mental strength did not improve; instead, it remained at the level of her first awakening.

Therefore, she was considered by the family's upper echelons to have low aptitude and limited potential for development. According to family rules, she could choose to remain in the family and await allocation, but her original resources would be reduced.

The original owner of this body may have had her own ideas, so she chose another option: leaving the family and coming to a lower-level star system, where she could receive a large sum of money for resettlement. However, this situation was essentially a separation from the family, meaning she would no longer enjoy the usual support and assistance from the family and would give up all future resources.

Those members of this clan, whose household registrations were separated and assigned to collective users, were quite independent. Even if the family committed a crime, they might not be implicated, and the ties were severed relatively cleanly. Of course, she severed not only ties, nor simply left the inner star system; her choice essentially deprived her of many potential options.

Perhaps to some, the original owner's choice was incredibly naive. He picked up the sesame seeds but lost the watermelon, ruining a potentially bright future with a moment of impulsiveness.

For Jiang Hui in her current state, this is incredibly fortunate, as it spares her the major problem of directly confronting the original owner's acquaintances.

Jiang Hui's intuition was right. She was no longer on Earth; she had arrived in a different world that had developed to the point of interstellar age.

She is not the Jiang Hui from the original Blue Star, but a citizen Jiang Hui born on the inner star system RB690 Kmir.

She crossed.

Jiang Hui was having trouble processing the news. Even the memories that suddenly appeared in her mind seemed unreal, like television footage, and she couldn't relate to them.

Just as I was thinking this, someone came into the ward.

This time, it wasn't her old acquaintance Fry who came in, but another older doctor.

As soon as the other person came in, they saw her leaning against the hospital bed, seemingly lost in thought.

"Ms. Jiang," the other person addressed her, immediately drawing Jiang Hui's attention.

"Hello." She hesitated for a moment, then greeted him in the language she remembered.

In fact, Jiang Hui should have realized something was wrong long ago. It turns out that she had been using the interstellar common language with others ever since she arrived here. It was an instinct left over from this body's brain, which prevented her from being mute and deaf from the beginning.

However, her ability to understand and speak at the time was an instinctive reaction while her mind was slightly confused. But now that she is clear-headed and has accepted the memories, she can distinguish between the two languages ​​more clearly, after all, they are two language systems with completely different pronunciation rules.

“Hello, I’m your primary therapist, Hecarette, and I’m in charge of your treatment.” He extended his hand to her naturally.

This was a very Westernized form of etiquette even in her past world, rarely used in her country. She never expected that coming here, becoming a minor again, would require it; it seems to be a fairly common form of etiquette here.

Jiang Hui gripped his hand awkwardly, trying her best to hide her unfamiliarity with this world.

Here we need to explain a concept related to "light-year".

Thank you everyone for explaining, but I knew it was a unit of length when I wrote this; I used it this way because of a configuration issue.

I posit that Earth and the interstellar era existed simultaneously, essentially the same world in a sense—or rather, the same dimension, only differing in time and even space. Earth represents the past of interstellar space, while interstellar space represents the possible future of Earth, a future where divergence and change are always possible.

So, let's return to the question that everyone's been wondering about. I used three chapters to explain the basic premise of Jiang Hui's time travel: she traveled by simultaneously distorting time and space, her soul traversing time and space from Earth to interstellar space, though she herself believed it to be another world. However, you can see from some later descriptions in the text that interstellar culture bears a strong imprint of Earth's culture.

Therefore, I used the term "interstellar space 100,000 light-years away" to describe it, because in my understanding, the distance between interstellar space and Earth is a non-linear, curved distance (Chapter 3 describes the relationship between light, speed, time, and space in this article; it's not well-written, but I genuinely thought about it carefully). Honestly, although I'm completely pseudoscience, and I didn't realize how much people found this jarring before using it, I did know beforehand that "light-year" is a unit of length, so please be gentle with your criticism.

Dear readers, please treat this as entertainment and have a laugh, don't take it to heart.

To avoid misleading anyone, I'll explain again: "light-year" is a unit of length; don't use it like I do in everyday life. The whole book is pseudoscience; just for laughs.
