On August 15, 2026, Shen Zhiwei died in the 51 Degree Laboratory. Her last research was the "Ice Core Ecological Chamber", which can maintain a constant temperature of 25 degrees under extreme high temperatures and support the survival of 100 people. Lin Wanwan stole the data and dedicated it to Zhou Shicheng, becoming the world-saving invention of the "Green Pioneer". Shen Zhiwei held the ice core sample that failed the experiment and melted it on the laboratory floor.
Xie Jin died in the garbage dump, clutching the patent document of "Geothermal-Ice Core Hybrid Energy" in his hand, which was the wedding anniversary gift he planned to give to Shen Zhiwei.
