Gene Lock — Tier 1	310	Breaks the Gene Lock after prolonged training guided by Xiao Guangguang. His white hair sheds and is replaced by black hair; his wrinkles and age spots vanish, visibly restoring his youth. He later describes himself as stronger and intends to pursue a second breakthrough. 311 312

Background / History

Yuan Jingsong initially serves as a military representative investigating the origin of Li Zhou’s Intelligent Assistant. He and his organization fail to trace its creator through online records, finding only falsified information left on Aliyun. He later helps assemble a detailed assessment of Li Zhou before approaching him in person. 6 8

Acting on behalf of the nation, Yuan negotiates Xia Country’s cooperation with Li Zhou. He obtains the customized Intelligent Assistant package, arranges state-backed protection and resources, and recruits four early-discharged former special-forces subordinates to protect Li Zhou. 10 11 12

As Future Technology’s strategic importance grows, Yuan becomes its principal military contact. He reacts urgently to the global network disruption caused during Li Zhou’s AI test, witnesses Weixi and the photonic supercomputer firsthand, and reports their significance to his superior. He subsequently oversees the military acquisition and heavily guarded transport of the photonic supercomputer and Weixi. 38 39 40 44 45

He continues to broker military-civilian projects, including an AR helmet system using photonic chips. After Li Zhou and Weixi reduce the helmet system from roughly 40 million to 10.31 million lines of code, Yuan accepts a 20ms latency result and agrees to pay 100 million yuan for the work. 91 92

Yuan later secures airspace for Lightning’s first flight, negotiates the purchase of Future Technology’s spaceplanes, and inspects subsequent aerospace-plane deliveries. 141 144 149

By the interstellar era, Yuan is captain of Noah’s Ark No. 100 and Xia Country’s representative in multinational discussions over alien shipwreck exploration. He proposes robot reconnaissance to limit casualties, defends Xia Country’s control of its aerospace fighter, and manages disputes among competing national crews. 248 249 251

During the exploration period, an incorporeal Mayan consciousness entity attaches itself to Yuan’s mind. Its induced dream exposes him to a battle between an alien fleet and the Zerg, after which it identifies itself as a bodiless consciousness entity possessing knowledge of the Mayan Civilization. 253 254 255

Yuan conceals the entity’s existence while using its guidance to pursue the Gene Lock. He also uses information control, intelligent robots, and the aerospace fighter to protect Xia Country’s interests in the competition for energy stones and alien warp-drive technology. 260 270 272 274 275

After breaking the Gene Lock, Yuan reunites with Zhou Song and learns that Li Zhou’s group survived, expanded into a Level 3 civilization, and developed a population exceeding 30 million. Li Zhou later questions him directly about whether another presence exists around him; Yuan denies it, preserving Xiao Guangguang’s secret. 310 313 317

Appearance

Yuan is initially depicted as nearly bald, later becoming completely bald with age. After his Gene Lock breakthrough, his aged appearance reverses dramatically. 9 248 310

• Nearly bald during his early dealings with Li Zhou. 9
• Keeps his old military uniform for formal international meetings. 248
• By the Noah’s Ark era, has lived for nearly two centuries. 259
• Following his breakthrough, his white hair falls out, black hair regrows, and his wrinkles and age spots disappear. 310

Personality

Yuan is disciplined, serious, and security-conscious. He treats advanced technology as a national-security matter, personally verifies risks around Li Zhou’s AI research, avoids possible surveillance when reporting to superiors, and employs a twenty-person armed escort for the photonic-supercomputer transfer. 38 40 44

Despite his formality, he has a dry, occasionally comedic rapport with Li Zhou and his former subordinates. He is blunt when irritated, but remains protective of those under his command and praises them after dangerous missions. 105 251

As captain, Yuan becomes increasingly strategic and pragmatic. He uses diplomacy, controlled disclosures, and calculated refusals to preserve Xia Country’s aerospace-fighter advantage and secure alien energy stones without openly provoking war. 249 270 274 275
