Initially, only a few terminally ill patients, with no other option but to try the Strong Foundation IV injection, experienced immediate and significant effects. The exaggerated efficacy of the drug then spread rapidly within a small circle of terminally ill patients, with more and more patients being cured through injections. The news continued to spread through relatives, friends, and social circles, increasing its influence. It wasn't until Strong Foundation IV was included in medical insurance and large-scale government procurement orders were revealed that related information went viral, completely igniting the market.

"I can't believe my eyes. How could such a ridiculous drug like Strong Foundation No. 4 get a production license and be included in the national centralized procurement? Did they pull some strings?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you haven't used it. The Strong Foundation No. 4 has a very powerful effect. Just one injection cured my son's leukemia, saving at least tens of thousands of yuan for a bone marrow transplant."

"Open your titanium alloy dog ​​eyes and see clearly. These centralized procurement orders are not from the medical insurance department, but from the military and the police. You can guess what that means yourself."

"Could it be true that the 'tenfold enhancement of human physical fitness' mentioned in the Strong Foundation IV promotional material is true? That's terrifying!"

"The efficacy of Strong Foundation No. 4 is indeed somewhat abnormal. According to our hospital's internal testing, it has a very good effect on most chronic diseases, geriatric diseases, and even some terminal diseases. It is no exaggeration to call it a modern panacea."

"Strong Foundation No. 4 can not only cure diseases, but also comprehensively enhance physical fitness. Our police force recently received injections of Strong Foundation No. 4. Compared with before the injection, our strength, speed and agility have increased by at least five times. Now, almost everyone in our police force is a strongman, and everyone is a 100-meter champion."

"I always felt that the Strong Foundation No. 4 drug was too sci-fi, like the gene enhancement drugs that appear in some post-apocalyptic novels."

"According to actual tests, injection of Strong Foundation No. 4 can strengthen the brain and improve IQ. The effect is best for teenagers under ten years old."

"After the emergence of the Strong Foundation IV, the sports world will be the most affected. Many world records previously held by white and black people will be rewritten by the Chinese."

"Why must it always be Chinese who break the record? Can't foreign athletes also be injected with Strong Foundation No. 4?"

"It's obvious you didn't watch the launch event and instruction manual for Strong Foundation IV carefully. Ruida Pharmaceuticals clearly stated that Strong Foundation IV was specifically developed for the Chinese physique, and it's most effective for Chinese people. Non-Chinese people of Asian descent, due to genetic similarities, also experience some benefit. As for Caucasians and Black people, due to significant genetic differences, it has no effect whatsoever." "I think the International Olympic Committee will soon issue a policy listing Strong Foundation IV as a banned substance; otherwise, future Olympics won't be able to be held."

"Strong Foundation No. 4 is a gene-enhancing drug; one injection is effective for life. I can't imagine how the International Olympic Committee would ban it."

The Strong Foundation No. 4 drug went from being completely ignored to being in high demand in just one month. As sales continued to expand, Ruida Pharmaceuticals' production capacity began to run out, forcing them to continuously add equipment and production lines to increase capacity and meet demand. However, ramping up production is a slow process. Given the current supply shortage, priority was given to supplying patients with terminal illnesses, followed by fulfilling national centralized procurement needs, and ensuring that military and police personnel were prioritized for enhanced physical fitness to maintain social stability.

The wave sparked by the Strong Foundry No. 4 (强基四) began to sweep across China and spread worldwide via the internet. Most Western media and individuals simply didn't believe the news, dismissing Strong Foundry No. 4 as a new-age "IQ drug," claiming anyone who bought it would be scammed. Some Asian countries, predominantly populated by Asians, contacted Ruida Pharmaceuticals for small-batch purchases for testing purposes. However, the current production capacity of Strong Foundry No. 4 is limited, insufficient even to meet domestic demand, let alone for international sale. Moreover, since its initial launch, relevant national departments have listed Strong Foundry No. 4 as a prohibited export product; Ruida Pharmaceuticals dares not risk international condemnation by selling it to foreigners.

Just as the story of the StrongBase-4 satellite was coming to a close, the latest news released by the China National Space Administration has once again ignited the internet. The interstellar expedition fleet, jointly funded by the national space agency and Ruida Aerospace Company, has successfully traversed the star channel after six months of interstellar travel and reached the vicinity of Proxima Centauri b, a star 4.2 light-years from our solar system. It is about to initiate the landing procedure to conduct a comprehensive exploration of Proxima Centauri b.

Unlike the previous unmanned probes, this expeditionary fleet was massive, comprising over a hundred spacecraft, carrying a vast amount of equipment and instruments, numerous robots, and five human astronauts. This marked humanity's first traversal of a starflow passage and its first departure from the solar system to reach a neighboring star system.

Based on the navigation reports sent back by the interstellar expedition fleet over the past six months, this expedition to Proxima Centauri has been fraught with difficulties. Just traversing the starflow passage alone resulted in the loss of one-tenth of the ships, including three large clearing ships, two mining ships, four transport ships, and several small spacecraft. Most of these ships were destroyed by meteorites within the starflow passage, while a smaller number were lost due to damage to critical equipment caused by intense radiation. Fortunately, the two space colonization ships carrying the five human astronauts were not among the lost vessels, and their critical equipment was not lost, ensuring that the subsequent landing and full-scale exploration of Proxima Centauri B will not be affected.

As is well known, Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf star with a mass only about 1/8 that of the Sun and a diameter only about 1/7 that of the Sun. Therefore, its habitable zone is very close to that of Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri b has an orbital period of 11.86 days and a semi-major axis of approximately 0.05 AU, which is 5% of the semi-major axis of Earth's orbit, placing it precisely within Proxima Centauri's habitable zone. Proxima Centauri b is so close to Proxima Centauri that it is tidally locked, meaning its orbital period and rotation period are synchronized, its orbital eccentricity is 0, and it always presents the same side of itself to Proxima Centauri.

This can also be seen in the photos and videos previously sent back by unmanned probes. As a result, Proxima Centauri b has a very distinctive topography. The hemisphere facing Proxima Centauri receives constant sunlight, resulting in extremely high temperatures and very little water vapor, making the land a desert, almost devoid of life. The hemisphere facing away from Proxima Centauri is perpetually without sunlight, with extremely low temperatures, and the entire continent is frozen, containing not only water ice but also dry ice formed from condensed carbon dioxide, similarly unsuitable for life.
