Though Yue Yuan had often provided experimental material for life-science research back then, this time he knew what the experiment required was different. Otherwise, he would not have felt that chill crawl up his spine.
With his solid grounding in the basic sciences, Yue Yuan understood very well that research into the Anti-Entropy Element was absolutely different from traditional life sciences, because the thing did not only act on the physical body, but also on the consciousness that defined one's own existence.
So if they wanted to study it, ordinary blood draws and the like could at most uncover only a small part of it, just like the research humanity had done back then—or rather, had always been doing.
Even now, there was still a great deal of Yue Yuan's blood in the human civilization's reserves, all for the sake of unraveling the secrets within him.
Yue Yuan was already thoroughly familiar with this kind of conventional research. In fact, when he had time, he would often take part in the study of his own blood.
Unfortunately, the results were limited.
And that also proved from another angle that the Anti-Entropy Element was definitely not something that could be understood through research on the material level alone.
Then what other aspects were there?
Combining the Four-Dimensional Lifeform's account of ancient history with humanity's many years of research into Yue Yuan's condition, the scientists believed they still had to start from the existence of self-awareness and entropy theory.
In that case, the so-called experiments would have to involve the question of the continuation of self-awareness.
Humanity had once collected some information on this subject as well, obtained from Adeli and the young Nebula. Of course, it also included the various accumulations from during The Great Voyage.
Human Civilization was no longer
