Human cryopreservation is a technology that is very common in fantasy literature.

Many science fiction writers have proposed cryonics as a solution to ensure that human lifespan is sufficient to support long-term space travel.

You wake up to find yourself on a completely new planet.

This type of technology is not recognized by the mainstream scientific community, but that still cannot stop the demand from a large number of wealthy people.

They need a glimmer of hope, something to tell them that they can be reborn someday.

For example, if you are only 85 years old now, and you choose to be cryogenically frozen at the age of 80, and if humans can achieve lifespan extension technology after being thawed in the future, then your remaining five years of lifespan can be extended to a longer period.

Many religious figures on Earth believe that cryonics technology is unreliable because they only consider the physical state and not the existence of the soul.

If you freeze a human body, the soul will leave. You can't freeze the soul along with the body, can you?

The cryonics company previously stated: We can! The soul will not leave the body after cryopreservation.

Merlin proved the existence of the soul, and this result became known to the public.

Religious figures who had previously been unable to find evidence began questioning and even threatening to sue the cryonics company for false advertising.

They stated: "You previously said that the soul would not leave the body after cryopreservation. Now that we have a way to observe the soul, please prove it to us."

Now that the cryonics company is pretending to be dead, they can't guarantee anything.

This also led to a sharp decline in the cryopreservation business; the wealthy are afraid of death, but they are not stupid.

Previously, we chose cryonics because it offered them a glimmer of hope. Now that magic exists, I might as well use this money to pursue magic.

The Alcor Foundation was originally facing a large number of lawsuits, not only from religious figures who had previously questioned it, but also from the descendants of wealthy individuals who had purchased cryonics services.

When the American government took over Alco, it only took over all of his research projects and research materials.

The American authorities are not going to help them clean up this mess.

Alcor Fund was stripped of its valuable assets by America, leaving its shareholders feeling utterly devastated.

"Cryonics is also a very important foundational technology for future interstellar travel. At least until faster-than-light travel is achieved, cryonics will remain a crucial technology."

In the existing physical system, faster-than-light travel is unrealistic.

However, this does not mean that faster-than-light travel will still be unrealistic even after major breakthroughs in the fundamental systems of physics in the future.

"The competition between China and us in the aerospace field is becoming increasingly fierce."

I heard that China's recent lunar space station has successfully entered orbit and begun operations, which has greatly displeased the people at NASA.

NASA's budget has increased compared to two years ago, but its capabilities have not.

Not only were people of Chinese descent suspected and dismissed one after another, but some researchers with questionable ties to the Europa Union were also dismissed.

Even among outsourced employees, Chinese people are excluded.

"It is said that China's lunar space station has occupied the orbit that NASA had planned, and they are very unhappy about it."

"No wonder, their budget is much larger than ours, but fortunately there are no Chinese competitors in our field."

"In Chinese terms, we have the upper hand."

"My idea is that the first thing we need to confirm is whether cryonics will damage or directly destroy a person's soul."

"Tell me your thoughts in detail."

"We first used experimental monkeys for freezing, and then developed freezing plans with different schemes and durations."

After the experimental monkeys were thawed, they were processed, and then a soul-observation device was used to observe whether their souls still existed within them.

Monkeys have had a tough time these past few years. The soul is now a hot topic of study, with not only government agencies around the world researching it.

University research groups, biopharmaceutical companies, and even internet giants are all conducting research on the spiritual level.

However, conducting research on the human soul is impractical; even death row inmates are only accessible to state institutions.

Unofficial statistics suggest that the number of people involved in the black market in South Asia has risen sharply.

Most institutions and individuals can only use laboratory monkeys, and the monkeys' lives are not easy.

"Have you ever thought about this: a damaged soul and no soul are two different things. If only the soul is damaged, it is difficult for you to detect any abnormalities?"

"Freezing experimental monkeys takes time, at least a year. Oak Ridge has a method for quantitative analysis of the soul."

If all goes well, we'll be able to catch up with the methods and equipment for quantitatively measuring souls over there.

Humans have found units to measure things like electric current, force, and waves.

Blue Star also hopes to find a way to measure the soul.

......

The competition between China and America in the aerospace field has been observed by countries around the world.

It's easy to understand; NASA has always been a major player in the space industry, and it chose a more radical space program.

Everyone can understand.

However, the Europa League also entered the fray, investing heavily in the aerospace field, which puzzled other countries.

Because it's important to know that most of the Europa Space Agency's previous space projects were in cooperation with other countries.

Including but not limited to America.

The Europa League previously had a collaborative project with Japan, but that project has since been shelved.

Europa League's extravagant spending is baffling to many, as the Europa League has never been so financially powerful before.

Even Russia, whose economy has never been particularly strong, has increased its investment in space exploration and maintained a high degree of cooperation with China in this field.
