【We can begin branding now.】
As the experimental organisms gradually stabilized, a line of bright white text appeared before everyone.
Lu Siyuan composed himself and immediately gave the order to officially begin the experiment.
The pre-set memory template flowed along the conduction path toward the experimental animal lying on the experimental table.
To determine the exact success rate of the "thought imprint," the biological laboratory created dozens of different memory templates.
Unlike the most primitive memory information, these memory templates are not detailed; they contain almost no details.
However, its internal logic has been examined countless times and no obvious flaws have been found.
All of this is thanks to the efforts of the Nus Civilization—when the self-repairing effect of biological consciousness is affected by a sufficiently strong external force, it will automatically supplement the details in the information template.
Since these details are generated based on the organism's own original memory content, they are far superior to the original high-frequency memory transmission technology in terms of logic, stability, and memory diversity.
Similarly, this also significantly reduces the burden on biological consciousness.
Under the watchful eyes of the researchers, the progress bar in the holographic projection moved forward little by little.
...
As the progress bar filled the last gap, the experiment ended.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, unlike the scene before the experiment began, the entire experiment was remarkably calm.
The anticipated scenario of a large number of experimental organisms dying did not occur.
Lu Siyuan even showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Was the experiment truly successful?
Has the "ideological imprint" truly been etched into the consciousness of these beings?
He directed researchers and research robots to remove the still-dormant experimental organisms from the experimental table one by one and place them into individual isolation chambers.
What followed was an extremely tedious wait.
Once the anesthesia wears off, they will be able to clearly see the experimental effects of the [Thought Imprint]!
...
"Professor, the first batch of mice have awakened."
A synthesized electronic voice rang out in Lü Yongchang's office, and at the same time, a holographic image automatically appeared in front of him.
In the picture, a pure white mouse, without any other color, lies quietly in place.
Everything seems normal.
But for some reason, a strange sense of unease arose in Lü Yongchang's heart.
Something seems... off.
Suddenly, Lü Yongchang's eyes widened.
Since waking up, the white mouse has not breathed once, and its abdomen has not risen or fallen at all!
As an alarm sounded, Zero's synthesized voice came through again: "Professor, it has fainted."
The mouse's abdomen began to undulate slightly again.
Clearly, the mouse continued to breathe after falling into a coma.
With slightly trembling fingers, Lü Yongchang manipulated the holographic projection, bringing up the [thought imprint] unique to this little white mouse.
The air is toxic.
...
HIP star system.
Inside the temporary laboratory.
"Mouse A1190, the branding has been successfully confirmed." Lu Siyuan's calm voice rang out. "Force hibernation and await the experiment to remove the branding mark."
The moment the words were spoken, a thin needle was slowly extended by the robotic arm and precisely inserted into the mouse's body.
Lu Siyuan strode forward toward the next awakened experimental creature.
That was a chimpanzee.
It stared at the bowl of water in front of it, its eyes filled with utter terror. It huddled in the corner of the isolation chamber, trying to stay as far away from the clean, clear bowl of water as possible.
Ideological Imprint: [Water is poisonous]
"Chimpanzee C479, the branding has been successfully confirmed."
Lu Siyuan's voice rang out again: "Force hibernation."
He took a step and continued walking forward.
Not all living beings have such an extreme imprint on their consciousness.
The thought imprints in the consciousness of most experimental organisms are related to humans.
For example, the gray wolf in front of us.
Lu Siyuan took a deep breath and stopped in front of the gray wolf.
Through the thick, transparent aluminum partition, he slowly raised his right hand.
The fan sucked the smell from Lu Siyuan into the isolation chamber.
The gray wolf, which had been baring its teeth, twitched its wet nose, and its ferocious expression gradually softened.
Under the watchful eyes of the researchers, it lowered its body, lay down in front of Lu Siyuan, and whimpered as it exposed its belly.
Imprinted thought: [Humans are the leaders of the gray wolf pack.]
...
After completing all the inspections, Lu Siyuan suppressed his excitement and sent the good news to the Kepler-452 star system, which was twenty light-years away.
[Ideological Imprint] Success rate of the branding experiment: 91.09%!
Apart from the experimental organisms that died at the beginning, all the other experimental organisms successfully completed the branding experiment!
"[Nus], do you know why those experimental organisms died at the beginning?"
In the spirit of scientific research, Lu Siyuan asked [Nus] a question.
[...]
Unusually, Nus did not respond to his inquiry immediately.
“【Nus】?” Lu Siyuan frowned slightly and urged again.
Yes, I'm sorry, it was... my fault.
I failed to control the fluctuations of the Mind Network; the excessively strong fluctuations completely shattered their consciousness...
Could you please not deduct my credit points and contribution points...?
Lu Siyuan: "...??!"
Before he could speak, Lü Yongchang's excited voice rang out: "[Nus], you mean that under normal circumstances, the success rate of the [Thought Imprint] branding can reach 100%?!"
No, no, no, Chief Lu, it's definitely not possible to achieve a 100% success rate.
Aside from deaths caused by unforeseen circumstances, some creatures with extremely weak consciousness also find it difficult to withstand this branding process.
Overall... the success rate should be over 95%.
"Great!" Lu Yongchang's hearty laughter came from the loudspeaker.
[Chief Lu, could you please not deduct my contribution points and credits...?]
The pale white text reappeared on the azure holographic projection.
"Don't worry, it won't be deducted." Lu Yongchang's voice was full of laughter. "If the [Thought Imprint] erasure experiment is successful, your contribution points and credits will increase by 10%, and will be settled uniformly."
...
Driven by credit points and contribution values, the Nus Civilization is even more motivated to work.
It precisely controlled its own mental network, and in conjunction with the [Thought Imprint] erasure program, it eliminated the imprints in the consciousness of all experimental organisms.
At the moment the experiment succeeded, Lu Yongchang, far away in the Kepler-452 star system, looked at the orange-yellow cursor in the technology tree space and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
The next dangerous technology, "Idea Imprint," has been mastered.
