Absolutely NOT as the drainage in CI piping has to enter at a 11/14 ,22.5 , 45 deg, 60 Deg as allowing a pipe to go straight in will erode the CI wall

My washer and dryer are currently in my basement and I would like to install it on the main floor but don't know how to install the pipes for the drain to still go into the basement drain?
Without knowing the layout or type of drain pipe and location, it is impossible to give a good answer. Drill a hole in the floor and run the drain with PVC. Drains should fall 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch for every foot of distance. Horizontal distance. There may be a drain line that is closer to the first floor location that you can tap into. Washer drain does not need a vent, it gets it's venting around the washer hose.

Can the washing machine drain hose be at floor level?
I have had it like that at a house I lived at, it would drain directly into the basement floor drain, however it was a pain in the behind, because I often found myself tripping over it, or if the kiddos wanted to ride their bikes or 3 wheeler toddler things in the basement they would get hooked up on the hose also. And if it got to far away from the floor drain I had a water mess, so if at all possible go with the drain behind washer, out of sight ... out of mind.
