In November 2026, after presiding over the National Science Development Planning Conference, Xiao Zhen felt a great sense of responsibility and went to Jinling Huakang Biological Research Institute without stopping.
The institute is located in the suburbs of Jinling, surrounded by green trees and a quiet environment, as if it is a scientific research paradise hidden in the noisy world.
The building's exterior is simple and modern, and the combination of glass and metal highlights the coolness and rigor of technology.
When Xiao Zhen arrived, the director of the institute personally greeted him at the door.
The dean is a senior biologist with gray hair but vigorous spirit, and has profound attainments in the field of human body research.
After the two shook hands and exchanged greetings, the dean took Xiao Zhen to visit the various laboratories of the institute.
"Academician Xiao, we have already achieved some interim results in our research on the effects of deep space exploration on human body damage and the anti-aging of the human body in the cosmic environment," the dean introduced as he walked.
They first came to a laboratory that simulated the space environment. The huge cabin simulated the extreme conditions in the universe, such as microgravity and radiation.
Scientific researchers are busy operating various precision instruments to test the experimental samples in the cabin.
“You see, we conducted long-term monitoring of changes in human cells under a simulated cosmic radiation environment.
"By comparing a large amount of data, we've discovered some unique changes in gene expression that may be closely related to body damage and aging," the dean said, pointing to the complex data charts on the computer screen.
Xiao Zhen came closer to observe carefully, occasionally asking some professional and sharp questions, and engaging in in-depth discussions with the scientific researchers present.
"Based on the current data, are these genetic changes universal? Are there differences among people of different age groups and with different physical conditions?" Xiao Zhen's question hit the nail on the head.
A young researcher pushed up his glasses and replied, "Academician Xiao, our current data samples are mainly concentrated in the young and middle-aged groups. We need to further expand the sample size to study the differences between different age groups and physical conditions."
Xiao Zhen nodded and, after a moment's contemplation, said, "This is crucial. Deep space exploration is for all of humanity. We must fully understand how different people react to the cosmic environment. Only then can we come up with targeted solutions."
At the same time, in faraway Europe, Odin and Leonor are actively preparing for pregnancy.
In the early morning, the sun shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the bed. Leonor gently nudged Odin beside her and said, "Dear, it's time to get up and exercise."
Odin opened his eyes drowsily, looked at Leonor's expectant eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, for our baby, get up right away."
After a quick wash, the two of them went to the garden and started jogging.
Leonor's steps were light and agile, and Odin reminded her from time to time: "Run slowly, don't tire yourself out."
Leonor rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not that delicate. Don't underestimate me."
After running, the two sat on a bench in the garden to rest.
Leonor wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at Odin and said, "Who do you think our baby will look like?"
Odin smiled and hugged her: "No matter who she looks like, she must be a smart and cute little baby."
And when it comes to work, Odin has not slacked off at all.
He devoted himself to the implementation of the "Madrid Investment Project" of Odin Volvo International Investment Group.
At a project negotiation meeting in Madrid, Odin sat around the conference table with local business representatives.
Odin confidently introduced the investment project plan: "Our investment will be concentrated in Madrid's emerging technology industry zone, creating a comprehensive park integrating R&D, production, and sales. This will not only create a large number of jobs in Madrid, but also promote the upgrading of the local technology industry."
A local business tycoon frowned slightly and asked, "Your Excellency, we appreciate your project plan, but do you have any specific ideas regarding land use and policy support?"
Odin replied calmly: “We have had several rounds of communication with the local government and have reached some preliminary consensus.
In terms of land use, the government will provide suitable plots at preferential prices; in terms of policy support, it will provide tax exemptions and scientific research subsidies for a certain period of time."
After intense discussions and negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on some key issues.
In the Middle East, Prince Osa presided over the launch of the Kingdom of Jordan's first deep space environmental satellite from the Prophet Muhammad Spaceport since its completion.
The launch site is heavily guarded, and staff members are carrying out various preparations in a tense and orderly manner.
Osa, wearing a neat work uniform, paced back and forth in the command center, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
"Your Highness, all parameters have been checked and everything is ready." A staff member reported to him.
Osa took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, the countdown begins."
"10, 9, 8..." As the countdown sounded, the huge rocket ejected dazzling flames and slowly rose into the sky. Everyone at the scene held their breath, staring intently at the big screen.
The moment the satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit, cheers broke out in the command center.
Osa excitedly hugged each of the staff members around him and said, "We succeeded! This is an important step for the space industry in the Kingdom of Jordan."
In terms of personal feelings, the relationship between Osa and Huang Yunxi has become increasingly deep.
