Everyone nodded in agreement.
That made sense.
Emerson continued, “Having said so much, I have to tell you. In the previous information sharing, the technology provided to us by the Empire was basically finished products, which we only needed to digest and absorb. But this time, the Empire needs our help.”
Someone immediately stood up in opposition, “How is this possible? We have just over a hundred million people, are we supposed to select volunteers from our own population? What if it fails again? Are we just sending them to their deaths? We are different; we don’t have unlimited resources or an infinitely large gene pool, our manpower is limited, and when one person dies, we are left with one fewer.”
“Indeed, we are not being selfish. We are not afraid of death. If I were asked to participate, I would. But we are an expeditionary army deep in enemy territory, whose core mission is to reach the Galactic Center and fight the most powerful enemies in their own stronghold. We don’t have the same freedom as those outside.”
“What if we compromise our strength for the Empire’s research, and in the end, the research here fails, and our mission fails as well? Who will be accountable? Suppose the great sages were to revive and look back at the records, only to find that our mighty expeditionary army has become a joke, delivering heads to the enemy. Wouldn’t they be infuriated? I wouldn’t rest in peace then.”
Quentin Cooper pressed his hand down, signaling for those below to calm down.
When the conference room quieted down again, Emerson slowly said, “I understand your concerns, and the Empire’s higher-ups understand them too. That’s why they haven’t made any mandatory demands, but rather consulted whether we’d be willing to participate. The main factor, however… Let me first thoroughly explain the value of cryogenic technology on the human body.”
Unquestionably, Emerson leaned towards conducting the experiment.
Human civilization is a vast collective composed of countless individuals.
In this collective, some may hold high positions and wield great power, while others may lead technology and drive the era. There are also those who dominate in the field of combat, constantly raising the overall fighting standards of the whole civilization with their own strength.
This small vanguard is like the steering wheel of the civilization’s chariot or the direction-bearing axis.
However, throughout any era, the world-renowned are always a select few. The main composition of civilization is still the masses, just like countless inconspicuous and even easily replaceable screws.
The value of screws cannot be denied.
In a vast chariot system, if one screw is missing, another soon takes its place, and the chariot remains unaffected. But what if all the screws are removed at once?
Even the most enormous chariot would then collapse.
Similarly, the value of the steering wheel cannot be overlooked.

Temporarily removing the steering wheel causes the civilization’s chariot to go slightly off course.
It takes time for a new steering wheel to grow and take up the responsibility of guiding the way, correcting the chariot’s wrong direction.
By this time, however, civilization has already lost valuable time and resources going down the wrong path.
It is possible that the talents of some steering wheels are completely ahead of their time and not understood by their contemporaries. They never achieve the heights they should in their lifetime, squandering their talents in vain.
It is only years later when their successors realize their misfortune and lament the fact that they were born too early for their time. For example, Rainer from the 21st century.
In such a crude scientific environment, Rainer still managed to propose and complete the design of a cosmic macro-transportation pipeline with a foresight several hundred years ahead of his time. Hundreds of years have passed, and Rainer’s core ideas are still revered as the ultimate truth. If Rainer could have thrived in the 26th century, it would be a tremendous fortune for both him and the entire civilization.
Similar situations also occurred with Tesla, Zhang Heng, and others.
This waste is not limited to the field of science; it also occurs in the realms of art, politics, business, and the like.
For example, Yu Boya, Beethoven, Carrie Thomas…
If these highly talented musicians could have been exposed to more instruments, heard more diverse sounds, experienced more advanced sound synthesis technologies, and been taught more comprehensive modern and post-modern composition systems, how many more pieces could they have created in their lifetimes? How many classic melodies wasted away in their minds could have been preserved after the introduction of brain-link technology?
It’s unimaginable.
Perhaps these individuals have exhausted their talents throughout their lives.
But this so-called ultimate achievement must be considered in the context of the limitations of their time.
The core value of human cryogenic technology lies in allowing these talents to break free from the constraints of their era and opening up another possibility for the entire civilization.
When necessary, pioneering talents can be cryogenically frozen, preserving their abilities and saving them for more suitable and opportune moments. By placing these talents, limited by their eras, in more fitting positions and allowing them to thrive in more comfortable environments, how much help can this provide civilization?
It’s hard for the average person to imagine.
Here’s an example: a top scientist may advance an important project to a certain stage, but the remaining research requires experiments and verification. It is only after obtaining a large amount of experimental data that the next step can be taken, or a massive calculation and long-term observation is needed.
This is realistic.
Some astrophysical projects involving stars require several decades or even a hundred years of observation and waiting.
