Since Li Muyue became pregnant, Ye Chen has advised her to put down her work and focus on her pregnancy.

However, Li Muyue is a person who can't sit still, and her long-standing work habits are hard to change.

Under her persistent pleading, Ye Chen had no choice but to compromise, allowing her to do some light work, but not more than four hours a day!

Although Li Muyue was somewhat dissatisfied, she repeatedly expressed that she could work longer hours.

However, Ye Chen's attitude was very firm this time, and he resolutely disagreed.

In the end, Li Muyue had no choice but to accept it.

After Li Muyue stepped down to the second line, Ye Chen had no choice but to take over personally for a period of time.

Fortunately, all matters of the Mousse Group are on track and there is plenty of talent. The daily operations are managed by four vice presidents, so he doesn't need to worry too much. He only needs to step in on some particularly important matters.

Ye Chen's work focus is still on scientific research, but this time he has shifted his focus to body enhancement drugs.

Since developing the intermediate-level body enhancement potion, Ye Chen has established a biological laboratory for further research, but he has not focused on it, mainly because the research has become increasingly difficult.

If intermediate-level body enhancement potions only strengthen muscles and bones, then advanced-level body enhancement begins to involve improvements at the genetic level. At the genetic level, the biotechnology of the Mus civilization becomes largely ineffective because their genes differ greatly from humans, rendering it practically useless.

Even the slightest difference in genetic changes can cause huge errors!

Another important reason is the issue of offspring.

Ye Chen knew that the more powerful a creature was, the more difficult it was for it to reproduce.

After taking intermediate-level body enhancement agents for a long time, he and Li Muyue's bodies have been enhanced to a very high level.

The side effect is that Li Muyue is unable to conceive for a long time. If she continues to take the advanced body enhancement drug, the chances of them having offspring will become even smaller.

Therefore, Ye Chen has never devoted too much energy to physical enhancement.

However, with Li Muyue's successful pregnancy, Ye Chen's concerns were dispelled, and he began to prioritize the research on advanced body enhancement agents, personally taking charge of the research.

Ye Chen predicts that if the research on advanced body enhancers is successful, human lifespan will achieve a major breakthrough.

Currently, the maximum lifespan of humans on Earth is around 150 years. Even if Ye Chen has strengthened his body to the limit, he can only live to around 150 years old and cannot break through the limitations at the genetic level.

This is one of the reasons why he rarely enters Morning Moon Cave and only uses intelligent robots inside.

However, although intelligent robots are highly efficient, they are not suitable for scientific research, which requires creativity and imagination.

If he could significantly extend his lifespan, he could enter the Morning Moon Cave to conduct research on some secret projects.

In this way, scientific research efficiency will be greatly improved, and the speed at which technology is unlocked in the seed of the Mus civilization will also advance by leaps and bounds!

...

In the headquarters laboratory of Mousse, after tens of thousands of simulations, Zhizi finally derived a theoretically reasonable formula for an advanced body enhancement reagent.

With all the raw materials ready, Ye Chen carefully checked them one last time to ensure that all the precautions and procedural details were accurate.

An hour later, after all 108 procedures had been checked, Ye Chen pressed the first button.

The purified water, which had been prepared in advance and refined multiple times to a purity of 99.999%, was slowly poured into a specially made glass container.

This process requires maintaining a stable temperature, with variations not exceeding 0.001%.

If the speed is even slightly faster or slower, the temperature generated by the collision between the pure water and the glassware will exceed this range!

Ten minutes later, 150 milliliters of purified water was poured in. Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, cheered up again, and began the next steps.

This is just the simplest step in these processes. With the addition of raw materials, the unknown changes that follow become more and more numerous!

"Tomoko, heat the purified water. The temperature will rise to 60.53 degrees Celsius in 5 seconds."

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the glassware began to sizzle as the water boiled.

Five seconds later, the temperature jumped to 60.53 degrees Celsius. Ye Chen then said, "Keep the temperature stable and inject the first raw material."

Soon, a pale green liquid was injected into it, and the glassware changed from its original transparent color to pale green.

After waiting for 41 seconds, Ye Chen said again, "Reduce the temperature to 28.36 degrees within 3 seconds."

Three seconds later, the temperature reached the required level, and Ye Chen continued to inject the second raw material.

In this way, Ye Chen kept issuing commands to the glass vessel to adjust the temperature, while simultaneously injecting different amounts of raw materials in sequence.

At 40 minutes and 5 seconds, Ye Chen had completed 18 steps, and so far, everything had gone smoothly without any mistakes.

He paused for three seconds, swallowed hard, and then began the 19th step.

"Raise the temperature to 120.45 degrees and inject gecko cell extract."

The moment the gecko cell extract was injected into the glass container, a number on the monitor flickered, and Ye Chen immediately realized that the experiment had failed!

Sure enough, after the gecko cell extract was injected into the mixture, the mixture in the glass container quickly boiled, causing some of the reagent to burst out and spill onto the lab table.

Ye Chen sighed and said, "Stop the experiment and clean up the lab environment."

Ten minutes later, Ye Chen found the reason for the failure: the purity of the injected gecko cell extract was insufficient, 0.01% lower than originally planned, which caused the temperature control failure and disrupted the balance of the mixture.

At this point, the experimental table had been cleaned and restored to its original state.

Ye Chen remained calm and composed before methodically beginning the second experiment.

That's how scientific research works; you need to learn from failures in order to achieve ultimate success.

The second experiment failed at the 25th step!

The third experiment, the 33rd step, failed!

The fourth experiment, the 38th step, failed!

...

The 18th experiment, the 73rd step, failed!

The 19th experiment, the 78th step, failed!

...

The 35th experiment, the 107th step, failed!

The 36th experiment, the 108th step—success!

After 35 failures, Ye Chen finally succeeded in preparing the first advanced body enhancement agent on the 36th experiment!

By this time, he had been in the laboratory for nearly seven days.

However, this does not mean that the preparation of the advanced body enhancer is complete.

Whether it will ultimately have an effect on living organisms depends on the final in vivo experiments!
