Chen Yu and his group followed Director Feng quietly toward Li Hongling's office, trying not to make a sound so as not to disturb the work of others.

The office door was tightly closed. Director Feng knocked gently, and after receiving a response, he pushed the door open and made way for Chen Yu and the others.

At this moment, Li Hongling was sitting at her desk, intently reviewing the documents, her face showing a serious and earnest expression.

She looked up and saw Chen Yu and the others enter. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and stood up to greet them: "Mr. Chen, what brings you here? You didn't even tell me beforehand so I could prepare."

Then, she looked at Qiao Meng and the others and greeted them one by one.

As the Minister of Education at Tianyu Base, her position was not insignificant within the base. Apart from Chen Yu, the only people who could keep her in check were Qiao Meng, the General Director of Tianyu Base, and Lin Lele, the Commander of the "Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps" and Chen Yu's secretary.

As for Yang Yue and the other ministers of various departments, they were at the same level as her. Although they had a lot of work interaction on weekdays, there was no direct superior-subordinate relationship between them.

Therefore, she did not show excessive nervousness or restraint towards Chen Yu's arrival, unlike Director Feng and others.

Instead, she led Chen Yu and his group to sit down in the reception area of ​​the office with an attitude that was both respectful and personal.

"Mr. Chen, now that you're here, why not offer some valuable suggestions to our Ministry of Education?"

"We are currently planning a series of emergency survival skills training courses for children and teenagers, hoping to cultivate more self-protective young people for the future of the base." Li Hongling said, handing Chen Yu a detailed draft plan.

Chen Yu took the plan, carefully reviewed it, and nodded in approval from time to time. "Minister Li, your work is very forward-thinking and very important. In this era full of uncertainties, equipping the younger generation with essential survival skills undoubtedly adds a solid line of defense for the future of the base."

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, looked at Li Hongling's arms, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

More than a year ago, Li Hongling was still in Guangping City. At that time, she was injured in both arms while fighting with rioters in the city to protect the surviving children.

Due to the impact of the extreme cold disaster, medical conditions in Guangping City were limited, and Li Hongling was only accompanied by a group of young children, thus missing the best time for treatment.

To avoid infection, Li Hongling had no choice but to painfully amputate both arms.

Now, watching Li Hongling skillfully hand him the materials, Chen Yu couldn't help but be amazed.

Li Hongling naturally knew what Chen Yu was thinking. She explained with a smile, "Six months ago, the 'Human Bionic Laboratory' jointly established by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Science and Technology achieved a major breakthrough, installing these advanced bionic robotic arms on me. Not only do they look exactly like real hands, but more importantly, through neural interface technology, I can control them with almost no delay to perform various delicate operations."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's eyes flashed with amazement. "This is truly incredible technological progress! Minister Li, you are not only a leader in the Ministry of Education, but also a direct beneficiary of technological advancements. These bionic robotic arms will undoubtedly bring great convenience to your work and life."

Upon hearing this, Li Hongling bit her lip and then suddenly knelt down, saying to Chen Yu, "Hongling thanks Mr. Chen for giving me a chance to be reborn!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Yu quickly stood up, helping Li Hongling to her feet with both hands, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion. "Minister Li, what do you mean? I haven't done anything for you, so how can you talk about being reborn?"

Li Hongling's eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled with emotion: "If it weren't for you rescuing me and the children from the thugs in Guangping City and bringing us to Tianyu Base, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'd probably be a cripple for the rest of my life! You once gave instructions at the base's general meeting, demanding the rapid development of human bionic technology to help survivors who lost limbs in the disaster. It was your foresight and tireless efforts that propelled the rapid development of this technology and allowed me to be reborn."

Chen Yu suddenly realized what was going on, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. "Minister Li, you are too kind. All I did was try my best to create better living conditions for everyone at the base. Moreover, technological progress is the result of the joint efforts of all researchers; I only provided a direction and motivation."

Actually, Chen Yu was quite ashamed at this moment. He had promised Li Hongling that he would not only fit her with bionic prosthetics, but also use "human regeneration technology" to help her grow arms back in the near future.

The "human regeneration technology" here naturally refers to the extended application of the "telomerase regulation technology" researched by Yang Yue.

However, in order to expedite the research on "telomerase regulation technology" in order to achieve the effect of human longevity, Chen Yu had long ago instructed Yang Yue to stop her direct research on "human regeneration technology" and instead devote all her efforts to deepening and practically applying "telomerase regulation technology".

But at this moment, facing Li Hongling's expectant eyes, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Fortunately, Tianyu Base is not a small organization, and his every word and action will affect the future development and direction of the entire base.

The promises he himself failed to keep were mostly fulfilled by his subordinates because of a casual remark he made—at least "human bionic technology" has made significant breakthroughs and has been successfully applied to Li Hongling.

However, despite feeling ashamed, Chen Yu naturally wouldn't tell Li Hongling about this.
