The female researcher was named Qin He. She was an internalized species who initially worked in the medical field, but later, as she grew older, she turned to research.
People in the interstellar era generally have long lifespans. If there are no accidents, they can usually live to be three or four hundred years old. Qin He is already over three hundred years old this year, but he still looks young and shows little sign of aging.
She worked at the research institute for nearly two centuries before moving to the Healer Protection Center, where she served as a mentor, taking care of the precious healers' daily lives behind the scenes.
She was well aware that in this interstellar era, the Human Alliance was facing a serious crisis.
The Zerg and other threats lurk in the outside world, while the elite of humanity struggle daily on the verge of madness and death.
When stronger individuals first appeared among the alien species, everyone was full of hope. At that time, the planet where the Zerg lived was far away from the Alliance planet where humans lived, and the threat had not yet appeared. The alien races around the human Alliance planet were not very aggressive. Even if a few highly aggressive alien races attacked, the human Alliance army composed of alien species was fully capable of dealing with them.
At this time, stronger individuals have emerged among the exomorphic species, which is certainly a good thing!
However, just a few years later, the first case of a berserk individual occurred. The berserk individual's relatives and passersby were caught up in the incident. Even after the local police evacuated the area, dozens of people were still killed or injured. The berserk individual even continued to go berserk in the cleared streets until the entire street was destroyed.
Therefore, people later referred to this group of stronger individuals as the tyrants.
Years later, people discovered individuals within the internalized species that could alleviate the violent symptoms of the tyrants, and named them the Healers, which are the opposite of the tyrants.
Subsequent research has revealed striking similarities between tyrants and healers: they are both extremely sensitive to external stimuli, possess an energy within their bodies that differs from that of ordinary people, and are emotionally unstable.
However, the difference is also obvious: the energy of the tyrant tends to be destructive, and their instability is vented outwards, while the energy of the healer tends to be protective and healing, and their instability is digested inwards.
The emergence of healers should have perfectly resolved the potential crisis surrounding tyrants. However, subsequent research and practice quickly revealed that healers have long lifespans, and it takes a very long time for their minds and abilities to mature. Forcing them to use their healing abilities before they have matured would only weaken their abilities or even cause them to disappear completely.
Therefore, the number of tyrants and healers has always been unequal, and the proportion of tyrants who receive treatment from healers is also a very small portion.
While internal instability persists, external threats are also gradually approaching. The Zerg are a vast number of cosmic creatures controlled by a queen, with extremely hard shells. They reproduce continuously on planets far from the human alliance star, and after producing new queens, they begin to invade other nearby planets.
By the time the Human Alliance discovered their expansion, the Zerg's minions were already very close!
If their reproduction cannot be effectively controlled, it is only a matter of time before the planet inhabited by humans is attacked.
The only ones capable of breaking through the Zerg's tough outer shell, or even completely killing a queen Zerg, are the Tyrants who can pilot advanced mechs.

Qin He walked towards the corridor leading to Ye Nianzhen's room. This corridor was also pure white, with some soft lights hidden in the walls and ceiling. The white light diffused through the soft wallpaper made of special materials, simulating the color of natural light from outside.
Occasionally, I would pass by a minimalist window, and the view outside was incredibly beautiful. A few clean clouds floated in the azure sky, and below stretched endless mountains and grasslands. Herds of cattle and sheep walked slowly across the grass, leaving a trail of barely noticeable footprints.
However, these are all scenes simulated by smart screens. In reality, the scenery outside is not so beautiful. This healing protection center is built on a habitable planet, but the overall color outside is gray and the vegetation is sparse. This place has been chosen as the best location, but it is still far inferior to the Blue Star of the past.
Because the healers are sensitive and have delicate hearts, even the slightest unpleasant food can upset them. Therefore, everything here is simulated perfectly by the intelligent system. The rooms are spotless, the scenery is like spring all year round, and even the air is filtered several times to ensure that the healers can smell the freshest and purest air.
The equipment and conditions here require astronomical sums of money to maintain, but it's all worth it because this place nurtures the future and hope of their human alliance.
Even though many tyrannical people who were suffering did not receive proper treatment because the healers matured too late, as long as they could survive until this batch of healers reached adulthood, no one raised any objections to the excessive preferential treatment given to the healers.
Right now, there are several leaders of large families or their descendants who have awakened into tyrants and urgently need the help of healers.
The most urgent situation was that of General Mingyuan of the Seventh Legion of the Allied Forces. He was a powerful and accomplished general, but because he had been on the verge of going berserk several times, he was judged that if he could not receive treatment from a healer within a year, he would suffer a violent attack and eventually die.
However, there is currently no suitable adult healer to help him with his treatment, so Qin He is now pinning his hopes on Ye Nianzhen, whose situation is quite different from other healers.
She walked quickly, but with elegance, and finally arrived at Ye Nianzhen's door, gently raising her hand to knock on the door.
Ye Nianzhen, who was resting with her eyes closed in her room, heard a knock on the wall in the direction of the door that she had memorized. She thought for a moment and didn't make a sound. In fact, she didn't need to make a sound. After the knocking, the hidden door in the wall opened by itself.
A woman who looked middle-aged but was well-maintained and had a beautiful appearance walked in. She greeted Ye Nianzhen naturally: "You're awake, Ye. I came to see how you are doing."
She spoke in the same manner as a mentally sound adult, and didn't rush in. Instead, she observed Ye Nianzhen's reaction before slowly entering the room. She even took off her shoes at the door, displaying a friendly and natural attitude.
But Ye Nianzhen didn't rush to respond. Of course, she wasn't on guard either. She saw the name tag pinned to the man's chest, which read: Senior Instructor: Qin He.
Qin He had already walked up to Ye Nianzhen. She gently touched the wall, and a panel slowly emerged from the recess. She operated the panel, and a section of the floor rose up, transforming into a pair of comfortable sofa chairs.
The sofas and chairs were placed opposite each other. Qin He sat down on one of the sofas and chairs, gesturing to Ye Nianzhen, "Please sit down."
Ye Nianzhen watched the entire process of her summoning panel and operating it, then got up from the bed and sat on the sofa chair.
A look of surprise flashed in Qin He's eyes, but she didn't show it. She simply chatted with Ye Nianzhen about everyday things in a calm manner.
