I accidentally joined a group of charlatans, so I immediately called the police and handed it over t

Li Guobang's words, "Activate the Pangu Protocol," unlocked the massive structure that had been sleeping underground.

The once pristine white wall emitted a low, rumbling sound of hydraulic transmission.

The entire wall slid silently to both sides, revealing a huge one-way bulletproof glass panel.

Behind the glass is a top-notch laboratory that would drive any Nobel laureate crazy.

Countless sophisticated instrument indicator lights were flashing wildly.

Researchers, dressed in fully enclosed sterile suits, surged in like a white tide.

Their eyes were fervent and anxious, like a group of believers about to witness a miracle or expose a lie.

The crowd parted to make way, and a tall woman in a white coat strode over.

(Don't go! She's not the female lead, there's no romance. She's just a supporting character, a researcher...)

She wasn't wearing a mask, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, which was so aloof it was almost unapproachable.

The gold-rimmed glasses sat atop his high nose bridge, and the eyes behind the lenses were utterly devoid of warmth.

Su Qingge.

The youngest "double prodigy" in the National Academy of Sciences, and the chief swordsman of Base 001.

She walked straight to the lab bench.

There were two specially made vacuum-sealed boxes there.

On the left is that dark, almost black pill that looks a bit like a sheep dung ball – the [Marrow Cleansing Pill].

On the right is the dazzling, seemingly special-effect-infused "Wealth-Attracting Golden Pill".

Su Qingge frowned slightly.

As a staunch materialist, she was extremely disgusted by this kind of mystical stuff.

If it weren't for Minister Li's personal order, she would never have wasted precious experimental resources on this "miracle drug".

"Attention all units"

Su Qingge's voice, cold as ice, was broadcast throughout the venue.

"Group A is responsible for the black samples, and Group B is responsible for the gold samples."

"I want a full spectrum analysis, from quantum energy levels to molecular structure, leaving no atom unexamined."

"start."

Once the order was given, the state apparatus began to rumble.

In an absolutely sterile vacuum operating table.

A nanoscale robotic arm, thinner than a human hair, slowly reached towards the black [Marrow Cleansing Pill].

The top of the robotic arm is a high-energy laser micro-scraper.

The operator's hands were very steady.

"Sizzle—"

An extremely subtle sound.

A thin layer of powder was scraped off the surface of the black pill.

The weight is less than one microgram.

At the same time, a staff member pushed over a transparent sterile observation box.

There was a small white mouse lying in the box.

It was too old; most of its fur had fallen out, and the exposed skin was covered with age spots and wrinkles.

It huddled in the corner, even breathing seemed to be a great effort.

This is a "senior sample" specially selected by the base, whose vital signs have fallen below the warning line.

He could die of old age at any time.

Chen Xi stood behind the one-way glass, his palms sweaty.

He knew it was true, but when the moment actually arrived, his heart was still pounding with nervousness.

Li Guobang stood beside him, his hands behind his back.

Those fingers, deformed from years of holding a pen, were now tightly intertwined.

All eyes were focused on those dozens of huge monitoring screens.

The screen displayed various physiological data of the mice.

Heart rate: 45 (very low).

Blood pressure: 60/30 (near death).

Cell viability: Grade E (exhaustion).

Every piece of data is telling us that this little life is about to come to an end.

The trace amount of black powder was quickly dissolved in 0.1 ml of distilled water.

The solution had an eerie dark green color.

A sophisticated injection catheter was inserted into the observation chamber, and liquid was forcibly fed into the mouths of the mice.

The laboratory was eerily quiet, with only the hum of the instruments.

one second.

two seconds.

Ten seconds passed.

The white mouse remained lying there, motionless, even its faint breathing had become slower.

A commotion began to rise in the laboratory. Several young researchers looked at each other, their lips curling into mocking smiles.

"I told you it was a scam, didn't I?"

"Is it really worth invoking the Pangu Protocol for such a substandard product?"

"It's just that Minister Li is being too cautious. If it were me, I would have sent him straight to a mental hospital."

Su Qingge looked at the unmoving dial, her eyes filled with disappointment.

She reached out to press the button to stop the experiment.

This farce should end.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the red button.

"drop--!!!"

A sharp, piercing alarm instantly shattered the deathly silence of the laboratory.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

"Look at the data!!"

The researcher responsible for monitoring vital signs suddenly jumped up from his chair.

His voice was distorted with extreme terror, as if someone were choking him.

Su Qingge looked up abruptly and saw the largest screen in the very center.

The green curve representing "cell activity" originally lay at the bottom of the valley like a dead snake.

At this moment, it was as if it had been injected with nuclear fuel.

It rose straight up in a manner that completely defied the laws of physics!

Not 45 degrees, it's 90 degrees! Vertical takeoff!

Next, heart rate, blood pressure, bone density, mitochondrial energy supply...

All the red warning lights lit up at the same time, and the entire control panel instantly turned into a sea of ​​red.

"This is impossible..."

Su Qingge's pupils contracted sharply, and her gold-rimmed glasses almost slipped off.

"This energy reaction...is this nuclear fusion?!"

Before they could even react...

An even more horrifying scene unfolded inside the observation box.

The mouse, which was on the verge of death, suddenly began to convulse violently.

"Snap! Snap!"

The sound of bones popping was clearly transmitted throughout the venue through the microphone.

Its originally hunched spine was visibly straightened and reshaped.

The dry, loose skin seemed to be inflated, quickly becoming full and firm.

Then, the few sparse white hairs on its body began to fall out.

A new layer of short, glossy black hair with a wild sheen has grown out.

This growth is happening so fast, it's like someone has pressed the fast-forward button on life.

Just thirty seconds later, the dying old man was gone.

Instead, it transformed into a "super mouse" that was a size larger than a regular white mouse and had well-defined muscle lines.

"squeak--!!"

The white mouse let out a loud, sharp scream.

The sound was extremely penetrating, even causing the glass to vibrate and hum.

It suddenly kicked off with its hind legs.

"Bang!"

The specially made reinforced glass observation box was actually hit by this object, and a tiny crack appeared on it!

It started running wildly inside the box, so fast that it was just a blur.

The running wheel next to it, used to test physical fitness, was spinning wildly as it was stepped on, and the bearings made a screeching sound as it struggled under the strain.

"My God..."

A doctoral student responsible for recording data dropped his data recorder to the ground with a "thud".

He was trembling all over, as if he had seen aliens descend upon the land.

The entire laboratory fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's worldview collapsed at that moment.

Is this what cultivation is?

Is this what marrow cleansing is?

This isn't medicine; it's clearly the original code that God left behind on Earth!

"Thump!"

Behind the glass wall.

An elderly professor with gray hair, a leading figure in the field of biology in China, suddenly clutched his chest.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the scurrying white mouse.

That was a forbidden zone he had studied his whole life but never managed to touch.

That is the countercurrent of life.

That's immortality!

The immense impact overwhelmed his fragile cardiovascular defenses.

The old professor rolled his eyes and fell straight backward.

"Teacher! Teacher!"

The assistant next to him was terrified and frantically pulled out some nitroglycerin pills.

"Rejuvenation...this is true rejuvenation..."

The old professor was helped to the side to receive oxygen. His face was pale, but he still pointed forward with trembling hands.

Tears streamed down his face.

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening... I never imagined that my old bones would witness such a miracle..."

The sheer awe-inspiring scene seemed to bring the entire underground base to a standstill.

Only the tireless running of the little white mouse struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

Li Guobang stood in front of the one-way glass, watching this scene, his body trembling uncontrollably from extreme excitement.

He slowly turned around, and his tiger-like eyes, which were usually as deep as the sea, were now frighteningly bright.

He stared intently at Chen Xi, as if he were watching the future destiny of the nation.

Chen Xi felt a little uneasy under their gaze and subconsciously shrank back.

"Minister Li, um... I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Li Guobang took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent emotions surging in his chest.

"Comrade Chen Xi!"

"Remember this."

"From now on, you are no longer serving the country."

Li Guobang suddenly straightened his back and gave Chen Xi a standard military salute.

"You are the national strategy itself!"
