"In your opinion… what do you think we should do?"
Secretary He was asking for his advice in a humble manner.
Lu Zhou became silent.
This was a difficult question to answer.
Putting it bluntly, he wasn't an expert in international relations. He was only responsible for matters in scientific research.
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and slowly said, "I'm not the one that should answer this question. I'm just a scholar, I'm not a diplomat. The only thing I can promise is that before 2025, we will create a demonstration reactor."
Lu Zhou paused for a second. He looked at Secretary He in the eye and continued, "If you really want to hear my opinion, I think the key to this problem is how we plan on using this technology."
He Mingxuan: "Plan on using?"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Yes."
It was very difficult to monopolize a known technology.
