Earth year 3645.
A mobile experimental vessel, fully loaded with various experimental animals, slowly entered the HIP star system.
Over the past few years, thanks to the efforts of Lü Yongchang, Mao Zhengzhi, and a group of researchers, various technical challenges related to the connection between experimental organisms and the consciousness of the Nus civilization have been solved one by one.
The experiment of "Ideological Imprint" has officially begun.
Indeed, this experiment is no longer a simple memory transfer experiment.
Significantly altering the basic memory of organisms falls under the category of "mind imprinting" technology!
Following the plan proposed by [Nus], the researchers on the experimental ship brought experimental organisms to the planet where the [Nus civilization] lived.
Inside a specially constructed radiation-proof laboratory, these experimental organisms were anesthetized and then placed one by one on the experimental table.
Through specially designed probes and conduction devices, the brains of these experimental organisms were connected to the core of the [Nus Civilization]'s network.
This created a peculiar scene inside the radiation protection laboratory.
The area to the left of the laboratory is filled with a large number of dark brown tree roots that exude a wild and untamed atmosphere.
These tree roots intertwine and extend towards the electrodes and probes located in the center of the laboratory.
On the right side of the laboratory, there is a minimalist high-tech style.
Inside the clean and bright laboratory, experimental organisms lay quietly on the experimental table.
Slender probes and wires are attached to the heads of these experimental organisms.
These wires extend into areas invisible to the naked eye, making the entire experimental table appear exceptionally tidy.
The laboratory, with white as its base color, is filled with large and small deep blue holographic projections.
These projections precisely display the real-time status of each experimental organism.
"All pre-experiment checks have been completed!"
After completing the final part of the inspection, Lu Siyuan solemnly said to the holographic projection beside him, "Request to begin the first [Thought Imprint] experiment!"
"approve!"
Lü Yongchang's voice came from the loudspeaker and echoed in the clean and tidy temporary laboratory.
...
The "Ideological Imprint" experiment has officially begun.
As the experimental setup was activated, the consciousness of the various experimental organisms began to connect with the consciousness of [Nus].
To the [Nus], which has survived for tens of millions of years, the consciousness of these experimental creatures is like plankton in a vast ocean.
Insignificant, negligible...
[Nus] slowed down his "movements" as much as possible to avoid accidentally creating powerful fluctuations that would scatter these frail little creatures.
This was not out of love and care for living beings; on the contrary, in Nus's view, these weak and tiny life forms were worlds apart from it in terms of their level of life.
Just like how humans view bacteria.
No one feels sad or guilty for killing billions of germs by washing their hands, and neither does [Nus].
From Nus's perspective, only human civilization's level of life is far superior to its own.
That is why it is willing to follow the arrangements of human civilization, and moreover, it can gain a lot of benefits from it.
At this moment, all its caution and prudence stem from only one reason—the settlement method for contribution value and credit points in this experiment is based on the experimental results.
If the experiment fails, it will only receive a portion of the basic credits, and may not even receive any contribution points.
It prefers to gain contribution points to credit points.
Although the technological system of human civilization has not touched on the aspects of consciousness, all roads lead to Rome, and many theories are interconnected.
Just like consciousness entropy, this is a conclusion it draws upon using the technological system of human civilization.
Even though it is limited by its own race, it still has a progressive spirit.
This is also a common characteristic of all potential civilizations.
According to the experimental plan proposed by Chief Lu, for each additional experimental organism that survives and completes the [Thought Imprint] experiment, its credit points and contribution value will increase significantly.
In Nus's view, this was simply a golden opportunity to rack up credit points and contribution points!
The thought of gaining a large amount of contribution points and credits, and enjoying uninterrupted sunbathing with 24 other players caused [Nus]'s consciousness to fluctuate slightly.
[Nus] can swear that it was just an extremely minor fluctuation.
It was just a tiny bioelectric signal generated somewhere in the core of the YiNet, which was not even enough to resonate with the core of the YiNet, let alone the entire YiNet.
Even so, from [Nus]'s perspective, many of these tiny, almost invisible specks of consciousness were extinguished during that fluctuation.
A strong feeling of heartache welled up inside me.
Just that one attack cost it so much contribution points and credits!
[Nus] hurriedly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, trying his best to calm the insignificant fluctuations in his mind's web.
Then, it took control of its own consciousness, enveloped those tiny specks of consciousness, and used its instincts to exert "external force" on these specks of consciousness.
After waiting a moment, [Nus] carefully observed the state of these subtle consciousnesses. After confirming that there were no problems, it cautiously transmitted a message to the outside world.
【We can begin branding now.】
...
Inside the temporary laboratory.
As soon as the experiment began, a large area of azure blue holographic projection turned orange-yellow, and even blood red.
A piercing alarm then sounded.
"Academician Lu!" a researcher cried out in a panic, "Should we...stop the experiment?"
Lu Siyuan, who was in charge, changed his expression slightly and shook his head, rejecting the proposal.
"Wait a little longer, give [Nus] some time."
As he finished speaking, the alarm gradually subsided.
One by one, the orange-yellow holographic projections returned to their original azure blue.
But the blood-red holographic image remains unchanged.
Against a backdrop of soft azure blue, the scattered patches of blood red stood out starkly.
"Remove these experimental organisms," Lu Siyuan said softly.
In the "thought imprint" experiment, death is the most normal thing.
"The current mortality rate is 8.91%!"
A researcher completed the statistics.
"The experiment hasn't even started yet and there's already such a high mortality rate...?"
Not only Lu Siyuan, but also Lü Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi, who were far away in the Kepler-452 star system, felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
They were initially full of confidence, but now they gradually lost their confidence.
This is the final step in realizing the "thought imprint" technology.
At least until humanity gains a deep understanding of the consciousness of living beings, this is the last possible solution!
