Wild delight immediately flared in Zhang Zhengqing's eyes!
Computational support from Zero!
There was no doubt that this would greatly reduce their workload!
Lü Yongchang's voice came again. "In exchange..."

Naturally, Lü Yongchang smiled and agreed to such a minor request.
"Also..."
"I'd like to exchange some new technology for information."
Lü Yongchang looked at Zhang Zhengqing in the projection in astonishment. "New technology?"

In just twenty-five years, could the Proxima Centauri Humans really have developed new technology when they had only mastered 40% of the technology they already possessed?!
"A biotechnology."
Zhang Zhengqing explained softly, "By sheer chance, we discovered life deep in the permafrost on Proxima b."
"After studying it, we found a way to improve the longevity enzyme."
Ren Feng abruptly turned his head, staring incredulously at Zhang Zhengqing beside him.
Under Ren Feng's gaze, Zhang Zhengqing shrugged. "It's the research result I just told you about,
