Thanks to the efforts of Chen Yu and others, the "telomerase drug" was successfully injected into the seriously ill Lin Hong.

Fortunately, the medication worked successfully. Lin Hong's condition gradually stabilized after the injection, his previously weakened vital signs began to recover, and his heart function improved significantly.

Even the wrinkles on his face gradually faded, and his skin became more elastic, as if time had flowed backward on him.

However, just when Chen Yu thought that the "telomerase drug" had achieved a decisive victory and could completely rewrite the fate of human aging, a piece of news that came as a bolt from the blue poured cold water on him and the entire research team, causing them to fall from the clouds in an instant.

After a brief improvement, Lin Hong's health condition suddenly deteriorated rapidly.

The wrinkles that had faded reappeared at an even faster rate, and the skin lost its elasticity, becoming loose and dry.

He was transformed back into the appearance of a frail old man.

This result suggests that the drug's effectiveness is not a long-term solution, and that there are unknown and complex mechanisms and potential risks behind it.

The only thing that comforted them was that, although the medicine did not change the fact that Lin Hong was aging, his physical functions were restored.

This means that he will no longer face life-threatening risks due to organ failure in the short term.

This unexpected "gain," though far from the initial grand vision of reversing aging, still gave Chen Yu and others a glimmer of hope.

Yang Yue and her team continued to delve deeper into the mysteries of "telomerase drugs," determined to learn as many lessons and experiences as possible from this experiment in order to develop drugs or therapies that could truly enable people to "live forever."

After learning of the potion's failure, Lin Hong took it all in stride. He smiled and said to Chen Yu and the others, "Life is full of ups and downs. I'm already very content to have had the chance to experience the feeling of 'rejuvenation.' At least I can see more of the world, which is good."

…………

In 2053 AD, Tianyu Base faced an unprecedented crisis.

After more than 20 years of peaceful life, without external conflicts, the long period of comfortable living has made it impossible for ordinary spiritual and material needs of the fund investors to be satisfied.

Many people began to stir up trouble among the various branch bases on Earth, attempting to attract the attention of the base management by creating chaos and demanding more rights and freedoms.

Some radicals have even begun to plan violent incidents, attempting to achieve their goals through force.

Chen Yu showed no mercy to these rioters, immediately dispatching "Tianyu Warriors" to suppress them.

After nearly two years of crackdown and investigation, this riotous force was finally quelled, but Tianyu Base paid a heavy price for it.

Many innocent people were injured or even killed in the conflict, infrastructure was severely damaged, and the economy and social order were thrown into chaos.

Faced with this tragic situation, Chen Yu felt deeply remorseful and heartbroken.

He realized that it was time for Tianyu Base to make some changes to unite its people.

In 2055 AD, the Tianyu Base was rebuilt and a nation was established, known as the "Tianyu Empire". Chen Yu ascended the throne as Emperor Tianyu.

At the same time, a general amnesty was granted, releasing many imprisoned rioters.

This move earned the people of the Tianyu Empire deep respect and gratitude for Chen Yu's benevolent rule.

The establishment of the empire also signifies that all of humanity on the planet Earth, regardless of race or nationality, will move together into a new era of civilization.

Humans on Earth have a new unified name—the Tianyu people.

The sense of belonging and cohesion among the people has been enhanced to an unprecedented degree, and humanity on Earth has entered an unprecedented period of prosperity.

This year was also known as the "First Year of Tianyu".

…………

In the blink of an eye, another 10 years have passed, and it has come to Tianyu's 10th anniversary.

The Tianyu Empire is already highly developed, and driven by science and technology, its aerospace industry has achieved an unprecedented leap forward.

The spaceship has been updated to its 20th generation and is no longer in its original rocket form; it has long since evolved into an interstellar spaceship.

Its engine has also been upgraded from the traditional chemical engine to a quantum drive engine. This new engine utilizes the principle of quantum entanglement to achieve near-light speed flight, enabling the Tianyu Empire's interstellar exploration capabilities to reach unprecedented heights.

The empire not only explored the entire solar system, but also established outposts on several planets beyond Earth to collect resources and conduct scientific research.

Even at the edge of the solar system, in the distant Oort Cloud, the interstellar exploration team of the Tianyu Empire has reached, where they have discovered strange icy celestial bodies and comets that may hold secrets of the early solar system.

These discoveries have not only enriched humanity's understanding of the solar system, but also brought new breakthroughs to the scientific research field of the Tianyu Empire.

On a distant planetary outpost, scientists of the Tianyu Empire are conducting various experiments at a rapid pace.

They utilized the unique environmental conditions of these planets to try to cultivate crops that can survive in extreme environments. This not only provides a possible food source for future interstellar colonization but also offers new ideas for agricultural scientific research on Earth.

…………

In the 38th year of Tianyu, 68 years have passed since the extreme cold disaster of that year. Chen Yu has also changed from a young man to an old man with white hair.

Lin Lele, Qiao Meng, and the others around him have also turned into old women.
