Chapter 1551 The Great Explosion of Life Sciences and Technologies
The bigger surprise is yet to come.

Yue Yuan originally thought that things would proceed smoothly until the scientific teams of the four civilizations completed their research on proportional spatial compression technology, and then everyone would enter the pixel space together to explore and see what the Dayan civilization had left behind.

Unexpectedly, during the process of developing the spatial scaling technology, good news came from another field.

The news comes from the School of Life Sciences.

When Yue Yuan received the news, Lan Feixiang, the dean of the School of Life Sciences and a scientist specializing in human engineering, had already prepared to give an introduction.

The old folks who were supposed to leave have already left. Although many years have passed, Yue Yuan always feels a sense of loss whenever he comes to the School of Life Sciences and doesn't see Yi Kai.

But life goes on, and human civilization cannot and should not stop.

"The quantum life form is done?" Composing himself, Yue Yuan shook hands with Lan Feixiang, who was coming towards him. His tone was calm, but he was incredibly excited inside.

Lan Feixiang's work in ergonomics is not like that of the Earth era. His research is not about how to create various chairs that fit the body, nor is it about gimmicks like zero-gravity chairs. Instead, it is about real human engineering.

After all, the zero-gravity seat of modern human civilization truly experiences zero gravity, unlike those that are simply created as a gimmicky name while actually being on Earth.

In the interstellar age, many names that were used in the Earth era are still in use, only their meanings have become more fitting to the names.

The same applies to ergonomics. It is no longer about studying various tables, chairs, and benches that fit the human body, but about studying the structure of the human body, including the human body's genes and spirit. It is a comprehensive study of the human life itself.

The study of human life forms is also included.

What Lan Feixiang is telling Yue Yuan now is about life modification.

“Yes, the quantum life form research is a success!” Lan Feixiang answered Yue Yuan’s question directly. Then, as he walked with Yue Yuan into the Academy of Sciences, he brought up the following holographic image and pointed to the content displayed inside, saying, “This research has a long history. I remember it started before we even reached the level of a cosmic civilization. Many basic theories were also proposed at that time. Now, uh, I’ve forgotten how many tens of thousands of years it has been.”

"But that's not the point. The point is that we really succeeded this time. We're now in the stage of volunteering for life form transformation, and it's going very smoothly. I reckon our next step is to conduct large-scale transformation experiments, still mainly with volunteers. Once that's completed, this technology can be made available to the general public."

The Academy of Life Sciences and many top research institutes have their headquarters on the Dream Lyre, so Yue Yuan does not actually need to leave the Dream Lyre to visit the Academy of Life Sciences.

Human civilization research institutions all have their research headquarters on the Dream Lyra, so the Dream Lyra is both a warship and a comprehensive flagship.

There are research institutions and scientists working inside, as well as various collection and production machinery and equipment. Of course, there is also a copy of these things on the residential spaceship, which are branch institutions in various fields. They also carry out scientific research work normally and maintain data exchange with the research institutions on the Tianqin.

Doing so would be tantamount to establishing a temporary capital.

This is similar to the dual capital system of the Ming Dynasty, preventing a technological gap in human civilization if the Dream Lyra or the habitable spaceship were destroyed.

Since spaceships of cosmic civilizations can indeed be built to be very large and have spacious interiors, implementing this model is not particularly difficult.

Listening to Lan Feixiang's introduction, Yue Yuan did not rush to look at the data on the holographic screen. Instead, he walked around while recalling the past. After a while, he said, "I remember that this technology was proposed by someone when we humans were still in the Milky Way, and a great deal of research was also done on it."

After pausing to think for a moment, Yue Yuan continued, "I remember the difficulties at the time were how to reverse-encode information from the quantum field of thought into consciousness, and how to reverse-engineer the activity of neurons in the human brain through quantum field information editing. Have you solved both of these problems?"

"It's all resolved!"

Lan Feixiang's face was filled with joy. He recalled what he remembered, then looked at Yue Yuan beside him and said as they walked, "I remember the first problem was recorded in the scientific archives. Our predecessors had already made some progress, and we have long since mastered it based on their research. The second problem involves the microscopic influence on the macroscopic, which was a problem that our predecessors could not solve at the time, but it is no longer an insurmountable chasm for us now."

"Our ancestors realized that human consciousness could exist independently of the brain, and the existence of Gaia life proves this point. Well, the brain is matter, and matter is nothing more than countless fermions. In fact, the thoughts generated by the brain, which is composed of countless fermions in a specific structure, are at the quantum level. Since that's the case, why don't we just construct a field exactly the same as our brain's thought field?"

"To put it bluntly, with our current technology, the most difficult thing to realize quantum life forms is the brain. Once the problem of the brain's thought field is solved, everything else will fall into place."

After a pause, Lan Feixiang continued, "Our scientific archives once had this idea: that we might be able to find some kind of quantum carrier, and then, through the relationship between the thought field and the quantum field that we have already mastered, map all the activities of human mental consciousness onto the quantum carrier, and then directly solve the problem of bridging the thought quantum field and the stored information field on the quantum carrier."

"This idea is good and feasible. The reason we couldn't continue down this path back then was simply because our technology hadn't reached that level, so we couldn't find that kind of quantum carrier."

Yue Yuan nodded. He remembered that the reason this project had stalled was because human civilization could not find a quantum carrier that could hold thought.

However, although the scientists at the time could not find that quantum carrier, they provided some ideas. They believed that the quantum carrier in that state already existed, and that it was one of the factors that enabled life to burst forth with wisdom and an important component of the existence of consciousness.

Therefore, their approach is to delve into the fundamental reasons why humans possess a third-person dream perspective, and then search for connections within it.

Unfortunately, due to technological limitations at the time, this idea was only proposed and could not be truly explored.
