Academy of Sciences, main office.
In the director's office, Kong Qing was modifying a machine design diagram, a task he had been working on for eight hours straight.
For a young person, working continuously for eight hours may be tiring, but still bearable.
But Kong Qing is eighty-nine years old this year! In human society, he is already considered very elderly, and his energy and stamina are much inferior to those of the young. Such high-intensity work leaves him exceedingly exhausted.
His skin was withered, covered in silver strands, and the wrinkles on his face were etched with the marks of time. His entire being displayed the fragility of an aging human, yet only his eyes continued to sparkle with the light of wisdom.
"Teacher, take a rest." His student and assistant, Xu Tengbin, said softly, "This work will never be finished."
Kong Qing marked the plan and smiled, "Yes, the work is never-ending, and scientific exploration is endless too!"
