October 19, 2045. The Kunlun Mountains, Qinghai.

A military base stood in a mountain valley.

It had been built after the Kunlun Ruins organization killed Dis. When the entire organization withdrew from Earth, the base was handed over to Hua Country.

It was now the world's foremost scientific research center. Hundreds of scientists who had helped Huang Ji build the Kunlun Ship had devoted their lives to it. Former Illuminati researchers lived there as well.

Some had passed away, but most were still alive, including quite a few centenarians.

That was thanks to the Longevity Elixir technology Huang Ji had left behind. Though it could extend life by only sixty years, it had no side effects. It simply added years and restored youth.

More than thirty years later, the number of researchers there had grown to three thousand! Over half were young, and the textbook that guided their work on advanced nanotechnology was one Huang Ji had written before leaving.

It contained cutting-edge knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, enough to remain relevant until the dawn of the Atomic Age.

That textbook gave Earth's scientists a theoretical foundation and let them advance nanotechnology at an accelerated pace.

Without it, they would have had to formulate hypotheses, gather experimental data, build theoretical frameworks, develop advanced technologies, and finally put them into industrial production. Forget leaving the Solar System without spending hundreds, if not thousands, of years on the process.

Yet even with the book, technological progress remained a long and difficult road.

To avoid stifling humanity's ability to innovate, Huang Ji had covered relatively fundamental knowledge and left the specific technologies for scientists to develop themselves.

For instance, he had clearly explained how superconductors formed, but people had to work out the manufacturing process on their own.

The scientists
