Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 867 Which path will our future take?
Every scientific team has its own opinions, and some agree with several opinions at the same time. This type of scientific researchers do not have much opinion, but not having an opinion does not mean that they are incompetent. Their skills are still very good.

I will follow the scientific research work assigned by the project team and complete it excellently.

They are also indispensable screws in the scientific progress of human civilization, and each of them has his or her own role. Since humans set foot on the starry sky, no scientific research has been completed entirely by one person.

Those famous scientists just have their own scientific research team. Behind their achievements, there are teams supporting them.

Just like the successful development of room-temperature superconductivity by human civilization, it was not the credit of Xu Zhenyi alone, but the credit of him and his entire team.

There are many such scientific teams in human civilization today, including large scientific research teams and smaller scientific research teams. They are led by scientists with top achievements in their respective fields.

The number of people in these scientific research teams ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the leading scientists of the scientific research teams are not static. Just like the selection of officials in human civilization, elections are held every five hundred years.

However, unlike competitions that tend to be based on the official system, these scientists who are leading their respective fields do not need many people to vote in the election, but are only judged by people in the relevant scientific fields.

The person who talked with Yue Yuan on the Tianqin today is one of the many scientists leading the scientific research team. His name is Zheng Jiuyuan. He is only 3050- years old, very young. He is currently committed to studying new theories from the perspective of negative matter and has a scientific research team of tens of thousands of people under him.

He is a new member after the expansion of Tianqin, and currently works part-time as a professor at a university on Tianqin, with a term of five hundred years.

Not long ago, he had just held a meeting with other scientific research teams on other scientific research ships. Yue Yuan also attended the meeting. Because he was interested in the views he expressed at the meeting, he asked him to speak after the meeting.

The other person is Yue Yuan’s old acquaintance Yi Kai. Due to the advancement of genetic technology, he no longer looks old in his seventies or eighties, but now looks like a man in his fifties.

Yes, human genetic technology can prolong life, but it cannot achieve rejuvenation. Yi Kai has used a lot of maintenance techniques to look 20 years younger. Of course, his body is still very strong.

Yi Kai was here to introduce the recent research progress of life sciences to Yue Yuan, and to catch up on the past. According to him, it was becoming very difficult for human civilization to make another breakthrough in life science technology related to life span, even with the addition of new biosphere resources as research materials, as if it had encountered some kind of technological barrier.

Fourteen thousand five hundred years seemed to be the limit.

In fact, after obtaining the resources of the Booker-type planet, Yi Kai has been committed to research in this area, but after so many years, there is still no progress. He did make several types of life potions, but those potions seem to have different ingredients and are effective on the human body, but in fact they cannot produce a superimposed effect with the original human life potions.

The new life potion is also effective for five thousand years, but it cannot produce a cumulative effect with the life potion that humans previously possessed.

At present, humans have a total of six kinds of life potions, which have been numbered. The effects are 200, 400, 800, 3000, 4000, and 5000 years respectively, which adds up to a total of 14500 years. Considering that it takes a hundred years for humans to die of natural aging, the total lifespan is years.

This lifespan is enough to live from ancient times to the present in the Earth era. If time travel really exists, the people of human civilization today can be immortal if they are thrown into history. But for cosmic civilization, this is far from enough, so both humans and other cosmic civilizations are constantly researching, and some individuals in civilizations have even changed their own form of existence in order to exist longer.

Now humans also have this intention. As there has been no breakthrough in the field of life medicine, many teams have turned their attention to other fields.

There are two main directions, one is the computer field and the other is the spiritual consciousness field.

The former's idea is to develop more powerful computers that can be mass-produced, and then use advanced computer technology to replace the human brain with a computer to achieve the goal of replacing it with a mechanical body.

The latter also wants to replace the human body, also a mechanical body, but their routes and goals are different. They mainly want to use advanced spiritual consciousness technology to create something that can store the entire spiritual soul of human beings, and then use the legendary consciousness uploading technology to upload human consciousness to that device, so that it can serve as the central brain of the mechanical body.

Yue Yuan had learned about the concept of this technology before. Scientists believed that it would be possible to realize it after a major breakthrough was made in the field of spiritual consciousness. Currently, the scientific research teams in these areas are still makeshift teams, and they are all waiting for the theory of everything.

Because they believe that human spirit, soul, and consciousness are born naturally in the environment of the entire universe, and the most obvious forces in nature are the four fundamental forces, so they believe that human spirit, soul, and consciousness are also the product of the interaction of various forces. Therefore, if they want to create something that can accommodate and transfer it, they need to have a universal theory as the foundation.

Such a shift in consciousness is a truly complete shift, otherwise it may lead to the consequence that everyone worries about most - stifling creativity.

Yi Kai did not agree with their research, but he was powerless to stop these ideas and research. He could only silently move forward on his own path and use his own achievements to prevent humans from evolving in this direction.

Yi Kai felt deep down that having a mechanical body was a dead end, at least in the Milky Way, so he had always been against the mechanization of the human body.

Oh no, it wasn't that he had always been against it, but after humans learned about the existence of electronic battleships, he took a firm stand against it.

Humans do not know the specific capabilities of the electronic battleship, but they can make certain judgments about it from clues in various information. First of all, the Awakener was defeated, which is enough to show the power of the electronic battleship.

Secondly, in that war, countless level six civilizations were defeated by electronic warships, which shows that electronic warships must have range-based strike capabilities.

The last important news is that the silicon-based consortium is terrified of electronic warships. This news is very important. Humans do not rule out the existence of "stone men" in the silicon-based consortium, but the most common silicon-based civilization is definitely the computer type.

Therefore, humans can conclude that electronic warships are likely to have some kind of lethality against computers and even electronic aspects.

For this reason alone, humans cannot take the path of mechanical body and mechanical ascension, otherwise they will be killed by electronic warships at the first sight, or even wiped out.
