Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 976: Catching up with the old fifth-level civilization

In addition to memory technology, among the life science technologies shared by the Daya civilization with humans, the most valuable to humans are non-conscious uploading and various biosphere experimental data.

The former directly gives humans the ability to fake the planet Gaia, and turning individual life into mechanical bodies is even easier.

The latter are all kinds of valuable research data, which are the research of Daya civilization on the life span of carbon-based life.

They can make the individual lives of their civilization survive for as long as 30,000 to 50,000 years. Although this is the result of the accumulation of various types of life, it is long enough.

It is more powerful than the life potions that humans obtained from the Red Flame Civilization back then. They are all valuable data obtained by the Daya civilization through long-term research on various biospheres. The most powerful life potion comes from their research on the biosphere of their own civilization.

When these scientific and technological materials were first given to humans, the Daya civilization kindly told humans that they could refer to their research to study the biosphere of their home planet, and they would definitely be able to obtain powerful life potions.

But humans cannot express their suffering.

The earth has long been gone, where can we go to seek justice?

In the subsequent scientific exchanges, humans also learned some knowledge of life sciences from the Daya civilization.

The Daya civilization told humans that the lifespan extended by traditional life potions has a limit. After years of research, they concluded that the limit is 50,000 years. After 50,000 years, life will inevitably enter the path of death.

But it is not impossible to break the limits. After all, the potential of technology is endless.

They have already found some ways to break the limits, which is to continue to delve deeper and forge ahead in the field of spiritual consciousness. Of course, this is not the only area, and it must also be combined with the research on entropy in physics.

Ultimately, technology will be used to transform individual life into a stable local entropy-reducing individual. They call this future life science a universal life-extending drug.

However, this technology is only a fantasy at present. Scientists of the Daya civilization speculate that it may require reaching the sixth level of civilization to achieve this, because many current theories related to entropy reduction and consciousness still have contradictions that cannot be resolved.

This statement made humans realize how powerful the red mist on Callisto was. At the same time, they couldn't understand why that spaceship, which was obviously a level 4 civilization, had things that could only be produced by a level 6 civilization.

There is too little information to investigate, so human scientists can only attribute it to the fourth-level civilization obtaining it from the remains of a sixth-level civilization.

In fact, 50,000 years may not seem short, but it is far from enough for the Great Voyage. If life can only live for 50,000 years, then it will definitely not see the day of reaching the destination of the Great Voyage.

Of course, the great voyage is a matter for an entire civilization, but those who dream of the great voyage just hope that they can see the final answer.

Having said that, although humans have lost their home planet, they have accumulated a lot of biosphere resources. Now with the technological information of the Daya civilization, there is hope for the new life potion.

The life potion of the Daya civilization is not universal. Even if they are shared with humans, humans still need to do their own research on their own race. This is a very long process, but humans now have time.

Humanity's shipbuilding program lasts for two thousand years, so there is plenty of time.

But if it really takes two thousand years of research to obtain a new life potion, I am afraid that many people will die. After all, many elderly people nowadays don’t have many years left.

Perhaps then it is time to use consciousness uploading technology, or memory-related technology. In such an interstellar age of material abundance and free life, no one wants to end their own life. Whether it is to continue to enjoy life or to pursue the lofty ideal of exploring the universe, long life support is required.

This is also one of the reasons why many civilizations are keen on studying life technology.

It may be torture for one person to achieve longevity, but it is not torture for the entire civilization to achieve it. Moreover, it is a highly developed society. Life should be so beautiful.

"In a sense, there are actually immortal life forms on our home planet Earth, so I think the 50,000-year limit drawn by the Daya civilization is not correct." At a science and technology seminar, a biologist who spoke said:
"Why are humans and other life forms interesting when they are all information aggregates, but rocks like carbonates and silicates are not! Many people say it's because they don't have genes, but isn't chemical composition a kind of 'gene'?"

"I think it is essentially a way of encoding information. When we discuss genes and consciousness here, it is actually a system of matter, energy and information. We should look at the problem from a holistic perspective. Our human body itself is a whole. Why should we divide it into various categories such as body lifespan, gene function, consciousness and so on?"

"We combine these factors and analyze them as a system, so our goal becomes how to prolong the order of this system, and entropy is used to indicate the degree of order of a system. If we continue in this direction, isn't it the area of ​​local entropy reduction?"

Obviously, this is not a traditional life medicine science seminar, but a local anti-entropy related technology seminar.

The Daya civilization is already ahead of humans in this regard. Naturally, human civilization must catch up on this path while researching traditional life potions to catch up with the scientific research progress of the old fifth-level civilization.

This seminar seems a bit empty and pretentious. After all, the research project has just started and many things have no actual data.

However, the other conference venue next to it seemed much more down-to-earth, as it was a seminar on traditional life medicine research.

In the conference hall, Yi Kai, who looked to be in his 50s, was speaking about a summary of the research results of various scientific research units of the Academy of Human Life Sciences in recent times after obtaining the life science data of the Daya civilization.

He started from the simplest working principles of DNA, RNA, and protein, talked about the physical and energy information of base pairs, genetic deception, the working principles of drugs, and finally to the most cutting-edge research and development ideas for a new generation of life drugs.

In the meantime, a lot of research results related to Dayan civilization are also interspersed.

Human beings have lost the Earth's biosphere that is most suitable for them, so it is extremely difficult to walk on this path. However, scientists have been conducting research tirelessly for thousands of years.

After obtaining a whole new life potion technology tree from the Daya civilization, humans have a deeper understanding of the pain of losing their home planet.

According to Yi Kai, if the Earth still existed, humans would have been able to develop new life-enhancing drugs long ago, instead of having to draw lessons from the mature technologies of other civilizations every time.

Fortunately, we have obtained the life science technology tree of the Daya civilization, otherwise humans would really be stuck in the research of life potions.

Because after this period of research and comparison, the School of Life Sciences found that many previous studies and conclusions were wrong. Continuing research based on wrong conclusions would inevitably make mistakes worse, and it would be too late by the time the problem was discovered.

The life span of individual humans will inevitably stop at 13,500 years.

When this news spread to society, people hated the celestial civilization that destroyed the solar system even more.
