Cataclysmic Era: I can unlock the tech tree

The communication connection was cut off.

The atmosphere in the laboratory became heavy again.

"This experiment went wrong..."

Lü Yongchang took a deep breath: "I bear the primary responsibility."

"I underestimated the dangers of this technology, which led to such a big blunder."

"I will conduct a self-examination at the Academy of Sciences meeting after the experiment is completed."

Fortunately, the Nus civilization is unharmed.

"Otherwise...human civilization might lose an extremely powerful ally."

Those present were all biological researchers, and they knew better than anyone else the biological contributions of the Nus civilization to human civilization.

Therefore, no one refuted Lü Yongchang's words.

"Why……"

Mao Zhengzhi sighed softly: "Professor, I bear secondary responsibility."

"Like you, I also made the grave mistake of underestimating scientific research."

"Arrogance is the root of the destruction of civilization, and I also need to conduct self-examination at the Academy of Sciences meeting."

Looking at Mao Zhengzhi's face full of regret, Lü Yongchang nodded slightly.

"The 'Thought Imprint' technology is an extremely sharp double-edged sword."

"I don't think it's appropriate to conduct the next experiment directly on [Nus]."

"Admittedly, this will significantly slow down our research."

"But [Nus], as the most loyal ally of human civilization, should not be the first experimental subject."

"As for a solution, I think there will always be one."

"Now let's begin the vote."

After speaking, Lü Yongchang was the first to raise his right hand.

Mao Zhengzhi and Lu Siyuan, who were standing nearby, also expressed their agreement.

A few seconds later.

"Very good, the proposal is passed unanimously."

Lu Yongchang glanced around, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

……

A month later.

"Professor, at present, we can only analyze the quantum consciousness and bioelectric signals of the [Nus Civilization]."

Mao Zhengzhi's extremely distressed voice came from Lü Yongchang's office: "I tried to analyze the consciousness of the mice, but I didn't succeed."

"In the field of consciousness, the Nus civilization has unique advantages."

"But [Nus] happens to be the collective consciousness of the entire civilization; if something unexpected happens..."

"Why!"

Mao Zhengzhi sighed heavily again.

The entire experiment seemed to have fallen into a predicament as a result.

Lu Yongchang slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the slowly rotating Yiwang bioelectric signal model on the table, his eyes filled with a deep contemplation.

"if……"

"What if we let [Nus] regenerate an Italian web core?"

Lu Yongchang muttered to himself, "Just like back on Lost Star."

"You mean..." Mao Zhengzhi paused for a moment, his previously confused eyes gradually brightening.

"I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I've also had a lot of communication with [Nus]."

Lu Yongchang exhaled a long breath and got up from his seat, casually opening a holographic image.

"Directly experimenting on the core of the YiNet will inevitably affect the collective consciousness of the [Nus Civilization]."

"This can also lead to various unpredictable situations."

"If we experiment with a blank I-Net core, and all information is blocked and filtered by the blank I-Net before being read by [Nus], then we can completely prevent accidents from happening."

"To put it simply..."

Lu Yongchang hesitated for a moment: "It's equivalent to running a small virtual machine in the Internet of the Nus civilization."

Mao Zhengzhi suddenly realized.

"Is this... feasible?"

"Nous isn't a computer; can it really do something like that?"

Lu Yongchang's expression immediately turned strange.

"In a sense..."

"The Nus civilization probably knows more about computers than you do."

"I mentioned this idea to [Nus]..."

"It considers this a very easy little thing, something that can be done as long as it has enough energy."

Mao Zhengzhi:...? ? !

……

One day later.

After the experimental plan was approved, the Xihe spacecraft, located twenty light-years away, resumed full-power operation.

Intense gamma rays surged through HIP22580f like waves, bringing abundant energy to the Nus civilization.

A brand new core of the IoNet slowly appeared on the planet's surface over time.

Unlike the Lost Star.

The new core that has emerged this time does not need to bear the heavy responsibility of ensuring the continuation of the race.

Strictly speaking, this newly manufactured Italian net core is a defective product.

For this reason, the resources and time consumed in this manufacturing were far less than those of the Lost Star manufacturing mission.

……

Earth year 3642.

After the new core was manufactured, the memory transfer experiment was restarted.

Consistent with what Lü Yongchang said, the impact on [Nus] during the experiment was greatly reduced thanks to this "virtual machine" system.

Lü Yongchang and all the biological researchers also witnessed firsthand the dangers hidden behind this seemingly dangerous technology.

During the experiment, the "virtual machine" core crashed several times, and the internal memory was completely disrupted.

Thank goodness for the existence of [Nus].

After each core crash, Nus can easily restore order and reorganize the chaotic memory content.

This amazing ability left Lü Yongchang in awe.

He asked more than once, but each time he received a similar answer.

[Nus] himself didn't know how he did it.

Having the memories of tens of millions of years of civilization, it handles a "virtual core" with only a few hundred years of memories as easily as breathing—and usually, people cannot explain in detail how they passively breathe.

When you think about it, you've already shifted from passive breathing to active breathing.

Everything is instinct.

In order to unravel the mystery, and after confirming that it would not affect the state of the Nus civilization, the biological laboratory finally went all out and began a series of high-intensity memory transfer and modification experiments.

……

Numerous high-intensity experiments are rapidly advancing the research progress of the [Thought Imprint] technology.

The experiment has now entered its second phase.

The work of analyzing the consciousness of other organisms.

The experimental subjects are tentatively set as mice and chimpanzees, which are common subjects in biological experiments.

With a wealth of experimental experience and the help of Lü Yongchang, the analysis work proceeded relatively smoothly.

The memory output stage has been barely overcome, but the experimental progress is stuck on the memory input stage.

Simply put...

Currently, biological laboratories can retrieve the memories of experimental organisms such as mice, but they cannot input memories into them.

The memory input method that worked perfectly on the Nus civilization caused numerous problems when applied to these creatures.

In severe cases, it can lead to biological death; in milder cases, it can cause memory loss...

In conclusion, the success rate of memory input experiments on mice remains zero to date.

So, where exactly is the problem?
