288: Chapter 288: A Complete Success!

Lin Yuan did not dwell too much on Zhou Kai's excited reaction.

He tapped his slender fingers lightly against the tabletop, following the flow of the conversation, and calmly transitioned into the subsequent arrangements.

"Since there are no issues with the first day of clinical data, the rest will be simple."

Lin Yuan raised his eyes, his gaze landing on Zhou Kai, revealing a natural sense of certainty and composure.

"As long as the data remains stable during the clinical observation period over the next two days and no unexpected latent conflicts arise."

"Then, this batch of volunteers can pack their things and go home for the New Year with the good news."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kai was stunned for half a second, then nodded repeatedly.

"Academician Lin is right."

"Judging by the current situation, the efficacy of the drug is extremely stable."

"Observing for two more days to ensure everything is foolproof before going home for the New Year is absolutely no problem!"

"It's not just about going home for the New Year."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, a profound look flashing in his eyes.

"They are going home with tangible curative effects, which is the perfect opportunity to bring this exciting good news to the people across the country."

"This can be considered a New Year's gift, the ultimate surprise before the year ends, officially announced to every citizen of the Xia Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kai's smile widened, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together.

He naturally understood what kind of public opinion tsunami would be triggered when these two hundred volunteers returned in this era of extremely developed internet.

That would absolutely be a living advertisement, far more vivid and shocking than any official press release.

"Academician Lin's arrangement is absolutely brilliant!"

Zhou Kai did not hold back his approval, his eyes full of admiration.

Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Kai, set down his teacup, and continued.

"Since all the people across the country are going to have a happy New Year."

"Then our expert teams in Research Building No. 7, who have been fighting day and night, certainly shouldn't be left out."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Zhou Kai's face faltered slightly.

"Academician Lin..."

Zhou Kai was just about to say something.

But Lin Yuan raised his hand directly, waving it with a smile, interrupting him.

"Dean Zhou, let me finish."

"Now, the Vitality Nourishing Agent and the Hair Growth and Strengthening Agent have been successfully prepared, have entered clinical trials, and are showing significant results."

"The core goals we set for before the New Year have already been successfully achieved."

"As for the Super Soldier Serum still being prepared, a few days won't make a difference."

Hearing this, Zhou Kai frowned slightly, his lips moving.

As a researcher, once a project enters a critical phase, the obsession with wanting to eat and sleep in the lab and finish it in one go is etched into one's bones.

What's more, that's the Super Soldier Serum!

Now that the preparation process has been more than half completed, how could they stop at this critical juncture?

"Academician Lin, everyone isn't tired, really!"

Zhou Kai tried hard to argue, his tone carrying a bit of urgency, "The preparation of the serum has reached a critical stage, as long as we put in a little more effort..."

"No rush."

Lin Yuan interrupted him again, his voice carrying an irrefutable sense of control.

"Dean Zhou, our current strategic deterrent power in the Xia Kingdom is enough to make all hostile forces around the world shut up."

"The external environment is completely stable, and no one dares to provoke us at this time."

"Therefore, the preparation of the serum doesn't need to be rushed in these few days."

"Besides—"

Lin Yuan paused, pointing out another core issue.

"For the Super Soldier Serum project, besides the drug preparation itself, the subsequent rigorous screening of compatible personnel is also an extremely massive undertaking."

"Physical requirements, genetic compatibility, psychological assessment, and loyalty tests..."

Lin Yuan crossed his fingers, his expression extremely calm.

"None of these can be completed overnight."

"Since all aspects require time, we can completely wait until after the New Year to proceed in a leisurely manner; there is no need to affect everyone's New Year reunion."

After hearing these words, Zhou Kai fell completely silent.

He looked at Lin Yuan, and in his heart, he had to admit that Lin Yuan's strategic vision and overall control ability were far superior to his own.

That's right, the sky isn't falling.

With the south heaven gate, the Xia Kingdom now has enough confidence to proceed steadily at its own pace, without the need to keep its nerves tense and race against time.

Thinking of this, Zhou Kai's tense shoulders finally relaxed completely.

"I understand, Academician Lin."

Zhou Kai nodded, his tone filled with a sense of relief and admiration.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

"Then please trouble Dean Zhou to go and notify the seniors of the team."

"Let everyone get ready, wrap up the work on hand, and in a few days, go home peacefully to have a good New Year and spend time with their families."

Having said this, Lin Yuan deliberately paused.

He looked at Zhou Kai, a meaningful smile flashing in his eyes, and added lightly.

"After all, there will be other work waiting for everyone after the New Year."

Other work?

These four words were like a faint electric current, striking Zhou Kai's nerves instantly.

Zhou Kai abruptly raised his head, his eyes lighting up instantly.

He chewed on these words repeatedly in his mouth, and the drive that had already relaxed burned up with an even more violent intensity.

With Academician Lin's vision, whatever he could mention must not be something simple!

He nodded heavily.

"Okay!"

"Academician Lin, don't worry, I'll go and notify everyone right now."

Zhou Kai stood up, rubbed his hands vigorously, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

"However, even if we are going on vacation, we must take advantage of these few days before the holiday to finish adjusting the last few parameters of the serum production line and push the progress a little further!"

Watching Zhou Kai, who looked like he couldn't wait to rush back to the laboratory to do some serious work, Lin Yuan nodded with a knowing smile.

Subsequently, Zhou Kai stood up, turned around, and strode out of the office, his very back revealing an eager drive.

The office door closed again.

Lin Yuan picked up his teacup, took a light sip, and looked out the window with a profound gaze.

Everything was going according to plan.

...

Time passed quickly amidst the smooth operation of the Xia Academy of Sciences' Research Building No. 7.

Two days later.

The three-day initial human clinical trial reached its final node.

The doors of the Phase I clinical trial ward at Jingzhou First Hospital slid open slowly to both sides.

Two hundred volunteers, accompanied by medical staff, walked out of the ward one after another.

It was completely different from their state three days ago when they were admitted, which was filled with anxiety, weakness, or concealment.

At this moment, they stood with their backs straight and walked with a brisk, energetic pace.

Those volunteers who originally had worrying hairlines or were even bald on top now had a clearly visible, vibrant layer of thick black stubble covering their scalps.

And those who were originally sallow-faced and listless due to organ damage had also become rosy-faced with bright, spirited eyes, as if they had suddenly become more than ten years younger.

They did not shout loudly, but between the brows and eyes of every person, there was an overflowing, undisguisable ecstasy and infinite yearning for the future.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

An official announcement, without any warning, quietly appeared on the homepage of the official websites of Jingzhou First Hospital and the national health authorities—

"Congratulations on the complete success of the initial human clinical trials for the 'Vitality Nourishing Agent' and the 'Hair Growth and Strengthening Agent'!"
