Yeah, right.

"Nofi, it's time for you to go to sleep." Shen Qi took the remote to turn off the TV.

"Dad made me watch this episode!" Shen Nuo Fei protested vehemently.

Shen Qi insisted on his position. "This episode is the extended version, it'll be over an hour long, and it'll be past midnight by the time it's over. You're not allowed to watch it, go to sleep."

Shen Nuo Fei was also a girl with very strong principles. "I want to see! I absolutely have to see!"

Shen Qi frowned and said, "If you don't listen to your father, you'll get a spanking!"

Shen Nuo Fei smiled faintly, indicating she felt no pressure. She stuck out her bottom, looking determined to see it through. "Then spank me. After you're done, I can watch."

Snap!

"You little rascal, you're so naughty." Shen Qi slapped the sofa. He had never spanked Nofi's bottom before, and he wouldn't now. "Go to sleep after watching this episode, or Daddy will be angry."

Nophie nodded obediently, "Mmm."

Shen Qi went upstairs to the bedroom and saw Ou Ye and palely leaning against the bed reading a book.

The book in Ou Ye's hand was the latest issue of the Lancet, and the article she was working on was "Research Progress on Inhibiting the Growth Activity of K562 Cells".

Reading the Lancet or Cell every day has become a habit for Ou Ye. Pharmacopoeia and other reference books are kept on her bedside table for easy access to professional information.

A mathematics PhD who had been ill for nearly twenty years finally made a breakthrough in medicine through her hard work and diligent study of medical and pharmaceutical knowledge.

The saying goes, "Experience makes a good doctor," Ou Ye's current medical expertise has reached the level of a top-tier medical expert in China... but that's just wishful thinking.

Shen Qi poured a glass of warm water and helped his wife take her medicine. "Honey, once I finish my current project, I'll put everything else aside and focus on researching drugs or new medical techniques to treat your illness."

"National affairs come first." As a fellow researcher, Ou Ye understands the nature of her husband's work very well. Her man is hailed as the smartest person in the world, but even smart people have limited energy and are overwhelmed with tasks.

"My wife is more important." Shen Qi served Ou Ye another kind of medicine. His woman was quite pitiful, having taken medicine for nearly twenty years, from a little girl in her early teens to a wife and mother.

After taking her medicine, Ou Ye said, "I think the series of research projects by the Thomson Research Team at Oxford University are very academically significant. The β-diketone fragment in the curcumin structure is a substrate for aldehyde-ketone reductase in liver tissue, which leads to curcumin being metabolized too quickly in the human body... They have already achieved Phase II clinical trials, which is quite an achievement."

The extremely knowledgeable Shen Qi said, "The Tom team in the UK is quite well-known in the industry. Their research on chronic myeloid leukemia, immune diseases, and cell activity is among the world's best."

Ou Ye asked, "My question is, from the perspective of increasing metabolic stability, shouldn't we first introduce hydrophilic amine groups into the monocarbonyl curcumin structure? Qi, what do you think?"

"Honey, are you serious?" Shen Qi originally thought Ou Ye was reading medical literature to broaden her knowledge, but he didn't expect her to be so in-depth.

Ou Ye explained, "No, I was just curious. Curious? Can you explain it to me?"

"Darling, this is our bedroom, where we sleep, but for some reason, it feels like we've stumbled into a research facility..."

Shen Qi chatted with Ou Ye for over an hour, and as they talked, Ou Ye automatically fell asleep.

After tucking Ou Ye in, Shen Qi left the bedroom. He had finished putting his wife to sleep, and now it was time to put his daughter to bed.

The living room was quiet. After watching the cartoon, Shen Nuo Fei turned off the TV herself.

Shen Qi picked up Nofi and said, "Miss, can you go to sleep now?"

"Mmm." Nofi hugged Shen Qi's neck and said, "Mom is sick, I'm so worried."

Shen Qi's heart trembled. He said, "Yes, Mom is sick, but it's not a big problem. Mom will get better."

Nofie: "Dad, you say that every day, but Mom is still sick."

"Daddy promises you, Mommy will get better." Shen Qi carried his daughter to the master bedroom. He and Ou Ye slept in the big bed, and there was a small bed in the room for Nuofei.

As a new day dawned, Ou Ye, who had taken sick leave, rested and recuperated at home, while Aunt Cuiping took Nuofei to kindergarten.

Shen Qi arrived at the basement of the "Project Starlight" Capital Command Center building. Several bigwigs from the headquarters were there, and they were having their routine morning meeting.

The morning meeting was hosted by Shen Qi, who said, "Everyone, I have a comprehensive understanding of the specific progress and technical details of the entire project. The most urgent technical problem to be solved is the Fluid Plane Membrane carried by the reflector satellite. Quite coincidentally, our center's FASTER Project Team... oh, that is, the National Key Laboratory of Condensed Matter Physics at the Shen Qi Research Center, has been conducting related theoretical research and application experiments under laboratory conditions for the past two years."

"That's wonderful!" Chief Engineer You Junfeng exclaimed excitedly. "Perhaps this is fate, Academician Shen, you were destined to help us!"

Chief Designer Zhang Yuanhai was quite excited, but he also had doubts. "So, Academician Shen, can the research and experiments on Fluid Plane Membrane conducted by your center's Condensed Matter Physics laboratory be directly applied to the space application environment of the 'Project Starlight'?"

Shen Qi: "Of course... you can't."

"This..." Chief Engineer You and Chief Designer Zhang looked at each other, these two experts in the technical field were a little confused about what Shen Qi was up to.

"Two years ago, I wasn't involved in Project Starlight. Everyone knows the secrecy procedures. Two years ago, it was impossible for me to know any of the technical details of Project Starlight," Shen Qi explained. "Research on new materials based on the theory of Magnetic Field Confinement Ring Particle Flow is a hot topic. Now I know that the development of the Fluid Plane Membrane carried by the reflector satellite in our project is based on this theory."

"Two years ago, my colleagues and I studied the chaotic phenomenon of monolayer planar fluids under microgravity conditions. This research topic is a niche branch within a popular field. At that time, we were commissioned by the Ninth Institute to study this topic, and the research objective was to solve the problem of deployment experiments under simulated weightlessness."

"The fully enclosed simulated weightlessness laboratory, as everyone knows, is just a small space. But the membrane carried by a single reflector satellite, once deployed, could cover an area equivalent to at least nine Bird's Nest Stadium."

"What I mean is that our center's research findings on chaotic phenomena in monolayer planar fluids under microgravity cannot be directly applied to the space applications of the 'Project Starlight.' However, they can be applied indirectly."
