As the sightseeing bus slowly approached the Bioengineering Research Center, the magnificent building stood quietly in the park, like a scientific fortress.

The building's exterior walls are adorned with various advanced scientific research equipment and models of complex biological experimental devices, showcasing the profound scientific research atmosphere and cutting-edge spirit of exploration here.

As Chen Yu and his group entered the Biotechnology Research Center, they were immediately attracted by its strong academic atmosphere.

The corridor is lined with display boards showcasing scientific research achievements, which detail the progress, innovations, and potential profound impacts of each project on human society.

These display boards not only showcase the research team's professional capabilities, but also embody their lofty pursuit of tireless efforts for the well-being of humanity.

They first visited Li Qing's low-temperature hibernation technology laboratory.

The laboratory is spacious and bright, with various high-precision equipment arranged neatly on the workbench. Researchers are concentrating on their experiments, some observing cell conditions under a microscope, some analyzing data in front of a computer, and some debugging complex experimental devices.

“Director Li, what brings you here… Ah~! Mr. Chen, Director Qiao, and so many other leaders, I… I…” A young researcher in a white lab coat, his eyes brimming with research enthusiasm, stood up in surprise and hurried over to greet him.

The other researchers also put down their work, stood up, and greeted Chen Yu and his group with excitement.

"Hehe, we just came to take a look around. Don't be so reserved, everyone. Please continue your work." Chen Yu responded with a smile. His tone was calm and friendly, instantly bridging the gap between him and the researchers.

"By the way, where is Professor Li?" Chen Yu looked around and asked with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"Mr. Chen, the professors are having a meeting in the conference room. I'll go get her right away." Before the young researcher finished speaking, he turned and walked quickly toward the conference room at the back of the laboratory, as if afraid of delaying even a moment.

Chen Yu wanted to call her back so as not to disturb Li Qing and the others' work, but they had come all this way and were short on time, so they couldn't wait here for Li Qing and the others to finish their meeting. Therefore, they decided to go to the conference room together.

He then followed the young researcher and walked down the corridor toward the conference room.

The rest of the group followed closely behind.

Outside the conference room, the young researcher knocked gently again. After receiving permission, he slowly pushed the door open and led Chen Yu and his group inside.

Inside the conference room, Professor Li Qing and several researchers were sitting around a large conference table, which was scattered with various drawings, reports and notes, indicating that they were having an in-depth discussion of an important research project.

Upon seeing Chen Yu and the others arrive, they quickly stood up.

Chen Yu gestured for them to be polite, and said with a smile, "Professor Li, experts, please continue your discussion. We just happened to be passing by and don't want to disturb your normal work."

"Teacher, I heard that your 'low-temperature hibernation technology' has been successful?" Yang Yue asked Li Qing eagerly.

"There shouldn't be any problems. We're currently conducting final data verification, and we should have a final conclusion by this afternoon at the earliest." Li Qing's voice revealed an undisguised excitement.

"That's great! I knew you could do it!" Yang Yue said excitedly.

"To be honest, we're just making improvements and refinements to the theories and techniques you proposed before. All of this is inseparable from your solid foundation and forward-thinking approach," Li Qing said with a wry smile.

"Yue... Minister Yang, it was indeed my oversight that I didn't inform you about this immediately. I was thinking..."

Yang Yue smiled and shook her head: "Teacher, what are you saying? Breakthroughs in scientific research are always exciting and busy, I completely understand. Also, you have always been my teacher, so please don't call me Minister Yang anymore, just call me Yue'er, it's more affectionate." Yang Yue's words had a hint of coquetry, and she stepped forward and took Li Qing's arm.

This shocked everyone present except for Chen Yu, Qiao Meng, and Lin Lele.

They were unaware beforehand that Li Qing had such a deep teacher-student relationship with Yang Yue, the powerful human resources director of Tianyu Base.

Li Qing smiled and patted Yang Yue's hand, his eyes full of affection and pride: "Minister Yang, you are now a high-ranking leader of the base, and you should still maintain the necessary authority."

Yang Yue smiled wryly upon hearing this: "Alright then, but please still call me Yue'er in private, is that alright?"

Li Qing nodded helplessly.

“Professor Li, I see you’re both quite busy today. Could you briefly give us a brief overview of the current research progress on ‘low-temperature hibernation technology’?” Chen Yu interjected at the opportune moment, interrupting the warm interaction between the two and steer the conversation back to the main topic.

Li Qing smiled slightly, collected his thoughts, and began to introduce: "'Low-temperature hibernation technology' is a cutting-edge technology that our team has been dedicated to researching for many years. It aims to reduce the metabolic rate of organisms, causing them to enter a hibernation state at extremely low temperatures, thereby extending the preservation time and potentially even achieving a revolutionary continuation of life in the future."

The research challenge of this technology lies in how to maintain cell viability while avoiding damage to cell structure from ice crystals that may form during freezing. After countless experiments and optimizations, we have finally found a new type of cryoprotectant that can effectively protect cells from ice crystal damage while maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane.

Currently, we have successfully verified the feasibility of this technology in animal models. Experimental results show that animals subjected to hypothermia recovered well in terms of physiological function and behavior after resuscitation, with no obvious sequelae. Next, we will further conduct experiments on human cells and plan to gradually advance to the human trial stage in the coming years.

Chen Yu listened with great interest, nodding in agreement from time to time. He had been paying attention to "low-temperature hibernation technology" for a long time. Back when Yang Yue and Li Qing were still in Nandu, they were researching this technology. It was precisely because he valued their research results that he kidnapped them and brought them to Tianyu Base.

However, things took an unexpected turn. By chance, his relationship with Yang Yue deepened, and he learned that Yang Yue had unique insights and theoretical foundations regarding "telomerase regulation," a technology that could slow down aging and even achieve immortality. So he had Yang Yue hand over the "low-temperature hibernation technology" to Li Qing and instead focus on researching "telomerase regulation technology" in the biological laboratory in the post-apocalyptic bunker.

After all, for someone as powerful and influential as him now, he would much rather achieve immortality than allow the human body to enter a state of dormancy.
