After a snowfall, more than half of the 2025 Spring Festival had finally passed.
The post-holiday return-to-work rush began once again.
Xiao Yi returned to Science Island Laboratory on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
There was no rush on the EAST-S side. Things would get busy soon, so he allowed the project staff to rest until after the Lantern Festival before returning to work.
As for Science Island Laboratory, its expansion project had been fully completed, so he needed to return first to handle the relevant arrangements. For example, his office needed to be moved to the administrative building.
His new office was much more spacious, and it even had a private lounge. In the future, he could simply stay in the office whenever he needed to rest.
Besides that, the new experimental instruments that had already been ordered also needed to be moved into their respective laboratories.
There were three laboratory buildings: the Materials Laboratory Building, the Condensed Matter Laboratory Building, and the Mathematical Physics Laboratory Building. Although the first two had cost more to build because of their various instruments, Xiao Yi had not neglected the Mathematical Physics Laboratory.
He had specifically given the Mathematical Physics Laboratory Building the most pleasant scenery in all of Science Island Laboratory. He had also upgraded its interior decoration and facilities. If the advanced, brand-new experimental equipment was what attracted researchers to the other two laboratories, then the Mathematical Physics Laboratory Building itself was highly appealing, allowing researchers to sit inside for an entire day without feeling bored.
In addition, the first floor of the Mathematical Physics Laboratory Building connected to an elegant tea room. It offered all kinds of drinks, including tea and coffee. Facing Chaohu Lake, it gave researchers a place to broaden their minds whenever their
