"Ian, where have you been? Why haven't you called me for so long?" Bethany said, running up and jumping onto Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Bethany. I was in the mountains this time, so I couldn't contact anyone outside. But I brought you some good things; I'll show you when we get back!"
Bethany was excited, "Really? Is it a gift? What kind of gift?"
"It's a secret; I can only tell you when we get home!"
Emma also hugged Bai Yujing and gave him a worried and reproachful glance. Bai Yujing felt a bit guilty, "Emma, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect to stay in the mountains for so long!"
Emma hugged Bai Yujing and patted his sturdy back, "It's okay; I'm just glad you're back safely!"
Bethany and Emma went to the airport to pick up Bai Yujing. He immediately introduced them to Li Hao and Lin Ruoqiao. Li Hao had to take care of something here, so he took the same flight as Bai Yujing and was planning to drive back from there. "This is Li Hao, whom you've met before, and this is his sister, Lin Ruoqiao."
Li Hao quickly put away his playful demeanor from earlier and became serious: "Hello, sister-in-law. I'm Li Hao, a good friend and brother of Bai Yujing!"
Emma shook hands with Li Hao: "Hello, we met in England before. I've heard Bai Yujing mention you often!"
Lin Ruoqiao smiled playfully: "Sister-in-law, I'm Lin Ruoqiao. Your Chinese is really good!"
After some small talk at the airport, it was time for Bai Yujing and Li Hao to say goodbye. Li Hao earnestly said to Bai Yujing, "Thank you, Bai Yujing. If it weren't for you this time, I really wouldn't know what to do. Lin Ruoqiao always gets into trouble!"
Bai Yujing patted Li Hao on the shoulder: "Alright, didn't you say that Lin Ruoqiao is also my sister?"
Lin Ruoqiao pouted at this moment and said, "Who says I'm always causing trouble? I'm not this guy's sister!"
Bai Yujing shot her a glare. "Don't do anything reckless in the future. Try to avoid causing trouble. Li Hao and I are going to burn incense for good luck!"
Lin Ruoqiao nodded. Perhaps this incident had changed her quite a bit. This time was different from before; she had nearly lost her life several times. Li Hao and Bai Yujing had also faced great dangers. If it weren't for their good luck, they might not have made it back. Although Lin Ruoqiao protested verbally, deep down she knew she had caused a huge mess and understood the price Bai Yujing and Li Hao had paid to rescue her.
On the way back in Emma's car, Bai Yujing felt a sense of relaxation wash over him. After being away for so long, he often felt disconnected from reality, so he asked Emma, "Emma, has anything major happened recently?"
Emma thought for a moment. "If we're talking about major events, then the official Clinical Trial of the Hyperactive Cell Serum has been completed and mass production has begun. Many people have already started injecting the Hyperactive Cell Serum, successfully gaining superhuman abilities and extended lifespans. Human lifespans are expected to double or triple. The arrival of a new era for humanity has already sounded the alarm. McLeod Medical Group has suddenly become the most watched company in the world, with its market value skyrocketing to become a trillion-dollar conglomerate, officially listed among the world's oligarchs!"
Bai Yujing nodded; he had anticipated this. The development of the Hyperactive Cell Serum represented not just a doubling of human lifespan but also a leap over the boundaries of life-editing technology. Ordinary diseases would no longer be humanity's enemies, as many previously incurable diseases would now be eradicated from the human stage. The technology from McLeod was revolutionary and would push many medical groups and pharmaceutical companies out of the market. This was a revolution in Life Sciences!
At that moment, Emma suddenly remembered something. "By the way, I've heard that this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology has already been reserved, and there's a 90% chance it will be awarded to Dr. Li Xinyan, who discovered and created the Hyperactive Cell Serum. It's already been leaked online that Dr. Li Xinyan seems to have an unusual relationship with you!"
Bai Yujing immediately waved his hands repeatedly. "I..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Emma looking at him with a gentle yet teasing expression. He had no choice but to spread his hands in surrender. "Alright, I admit it; she is my ex-girlfriend. However, ever since we broke up, we rarely keep in touch!"
Emma's expression changed instantly. "Rarely keep in touch? So that means you do have some contact?"
Bai Yujing realized he had misspoken; women were particularly sensitive about such matters. After repeatedly apologizing and assuring her, he managed to smooth things over. Emma immediately said, "There are several versions of your story circulating online now. Many people say that Dr. Li Xinyan's breakthrough in Gene Editing Technology is thanks to you; she obtained Atlantis's Life Sciences technology from you, which enabled her to develop such groundbreaking technology!"
Bai Yujing opened his mouth in surprise. "That's pure nonsense! I didn't get any Life Sciences technology from Atlantis! But..."
To begin with, Li Xinyan's development of the Hyperactive Cell Serum is indeed closely related to Bai Yujing. However, Bai Yujing does not intend to dwell on this matter and can only change the subject: "Are there any other big news?"
At this moment, Bethany shouted, "I know, I know!"
Bai Yujing immediately looked at Bethany: "What does our little princess know?"
Bethany quickly replied, "China has launched the Yinghuo spaceship capable of manned interstellar travel. It officially took off a month ago and arrived at Mars a few days ago, completing its Mars exploration mission and preparing to head to the Asteroid Belt."
Bethany spoke like a news anchor: "Humanity has officially entered a new era of interstellar colonization. China and the United Kingdom have conducted a series of exchanges on Life Sciences and space technology, reaching an agreement. Ian, will we be able to go to Mars in the future?"
Bai Yujing nodded: "Definitely. Not just Mars, but Pluto, and even beyond the Solar System; we will have opportunities!"
Bai Yujing knew that this series of events had excluded the United States. A technological revolution capable of changing human society had nothing to do with this country that once claimed global dominance. The impact and changes brought about are unimaginable; the world has truly changed.
However, all of this was irrelevant to Bai Yujing. Most people only felt these changes through television and news media. The breakthroughs in these two technologies would require a long time to truly connect with everyone. In contrast, new energy technology is directly related to every aspect of humanity!
As Bai Yujing looked out the window, she couldn't help but recall a name mentioned by Emma earlier. A stubborn and cold face emerged in her mind: "Li Xinyan!"
