"Ahem!"
The female host Yiyi coughed lightly, interrupting Deng Haochu's somewhat passionate speech: "Mr. Deng, there is a piece of news that I think you should listen to."
Deng Haochu, who was interrupted again, looked like a magician whose spell was interrupted. His face flushed and he looked at the host in front of him angrily.
"you!"
"Can't you just let me finish my words?!"
The host smiled apologetically, and then said softly: "According to reports, the second nuclear fusion experiment of Sandaokou University was a complete success."
"The modified stellarator successfully maintained controlled nuclear fusion for 35 minutes, breaking the 26-minute record previously set by ITER."
Deng Haochu's pupils dilated slightly and he stood there blankly.
"Mr. Deng?"
The host showed a bit of cunning in his eyes and reminded softly: "Mr. Deng, did you hear what I just said?"
Deng Haochu suddenly came back to his senses.
His face turned pale and he muttered to himself, "No, it's impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"
"Mr. Deng, this is the announcement issued by Sandaokou University."
The host Yi Yi reminded "kindly".
Deng Haochu's mouth twitched, and he suddenly yelled, "Impossible! This must be a conspiracy!"
"There is absolutely no way a stellarator can run stably for thirty-five minutes!"
"Bang!"
Just as Deng Haochu was yelling in the studio, a loud noise came from the door.
Everyone's eyes turned towards the studio door.
Several men in police uniforms walked into the studio with serious expressions and went straight to Deng Haochu.
"Deng Haochu, right?"
"Please come with us!"
As he spoke, the leading policeman took out his ID from his pocket and waved it in front of Deng Haochu.
…
evening.
In a villa in the capital.
As usual, after dinner, Lu Guoqing sat on the sofa, reached out and grabbed the remote control beside him, turned on the TV, switched the channel to the news channel, and waited for the daily news program.
As the hour hand of the wall clock pointed to the number 7, a familiar melody came from the TV.
"Hello, dear audience friends, welcome to watch today's Xiaguo News."
"The latest news from our station is that the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Sandaokou University in Beijing conducted its second controlled nuclear fusion experiment this afternoon."
"The experiment was a complete success, and the controlled nuclear fusion time was extended to 35 minutes, breaking the previous record of 26 minutes set by ITER!"
Hearing this, Lu Guoqing's pupils dilated slightly, and then he clapped his hands violently.
"That's amazing!"
"The nuclear physics major at Sandaokou University is indeed a top major!"
Zhou Qingru's slightly disgusted voice came from the kitchen nearby.
"I say, what are you yelling about over there? You won't even help me collect the dishes!"
Hearing his wife's complaints, Lu Guoqing laughed awkwardly and quickly shut his mouth.
"The latest news from our station is that the chief engineer of the controlled nuclear fusion project is a sophomore from Sandaokou University..."
Before Lu Guoqing could react, the TV screen changed.
In the TV footage, a boy wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and holding a whiteboard marker wrote the last line of letters on the blackboard.
"Under the leadership of Lv Yongchang, the Sandaokou Nuclear Physics Laboratory overcame multiple technical difficulties and successfully implemented controlled nuclear fusion technology in the laboratory..."
At the same time, the TV screen showed various clips of Lu Yongchang doing research in the laboratory.
At this time, Lu Guoqing was a little overwhelmed.
He slowly stood up, looked at the TV in front of him in disbelief, and shouted loudly: "Qingru! Qingru, come and have a look!"
Zhou Qingru's impatient voice came from the kitchen: "What are you looking at? Don't you know I'm still washing dishes?"
"Our...our son is on the news!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of clanging sounds were heard from the kitchen.
The next moment, Zhou Qingru ran to the living room in an apron, looking a little panicked: "What?! What happened?! What happened to our son?!"
Lu Guoqing opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
He felt that at this moment, no words could express the shock in his heart!
He could only weakly point at the TV screen in front of him: "This...is this our son?"
Zhou Qingru stared at the TV screen in a daze, a look of shock gradually appearing in her eyes.
Perhaps because the controlled nuclear fusion project is more important, Xiaguo News spent a full five minutes on this news.
During the period, a full two minutes were spent introducing Lu Yongchang.
The TV screen flickered slightly and returned to the news anchor's interface.
"News from this station..."
Lu Guoqing and Zhou Qingru heard every word of what was reported in the news.
At this moment, the two of them were still standing in front of the TV, staring at the TV screen in a daze.
After a long while, Lu Guoqing swallowed his saliva and came back to his senses: "This, this brat... did such a big thing without saying a word!"
"I, I have to make a phone call and teach him a lesson!"
Having said that, Lu Guoqing reached out to pick up the cell phone on the coffee table.
The next moment, Zhou Qingru glared at her husband fiercely: "What are you going to do?!"
Lu Guoqing paused, smiled awkwardly and said to his wife: "I, I'll call our son and ask him what's going on..."
Zhou Qingru rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Can you ask such questions casually?"
"In case there is any confidentiality issue involved, do you want to kill Yongchang?"
Lu Guoqing's face froze, and he slowly retracted his hand: "Then...are we just going to wait like this?"
Just as the two were struggling, a phone rang.
It's Zhou Qingru's cell phone.
Zhou Qingru's expression changed slightly, and she quickly leaned over and grabbed her mobile phone on the coffee table.
The moment she saw the incoming call number, Zhou Qingru showed an excited smile: "It's Yongchang's call!"
Lu Guoqing's eyes moved, and he immediately urged in a low voice: "Pick it up! Pick it up quickly!"
Zhou Qingru nodded repeatedly and quickly answered the phone.
"mom?"
As soon as I turned on the speakerphone, I heard Lu Yongchang's voice on the phone.
"Yongchang, what's going on in the Xiaguo news? What kind of nuclear fusion are you working on now?!"
Before Zhou Qingru could speak, Lu Guoqing on the side couldn't wait to ask.
"Forehead..."
There was a hint of hesitation in Lu Yongchang's voice.
Zhou Qingru glared at Lu Guoqing and quickly added, "Yongchang, don't listen to your father! If there are any confidentiality regulations involved, you don't have to tell us!"
A chuckle came from the other end of the phone: "It's not a secret, it's just that I didn't expect that this matter would be reported in Xiaguo News..."
"Yes, I am indeed researching controlled nuclear fusion technology now."
"So you are now the chief engineer of Xiaguo's controlled nuclear fusion project?!"
Lu Guoqing's question once again made Lu Yongchang stunned.
Unexpectedly, Xiaguo News actually exposed this matter!
However, this was not a shameful thing, and Lu Yongchang naturally admitted it openly.
Lu Guoqing and Zhou Qingru looked at each other for a long time, and Zhou Qingru slowly said: "Yongchang... remember to take care of yourself."
When Lu Yongchang on the other end of the phone heard this, his nose felt a little sore and he was choked for a moment.
"Um."
Chapter 27 When do you plan to graduate?
As the news from Xia Guo is broadcast, Weibo's hot search list is updated rapidly!
"Shocked! A sophomore student from Sandaokou University actually... "
"The controlled nuclear fusion experiment was a complete success, and the chief engineer turned out to be him!"
Eight or nine o'clock in the evening is the time when most ordinary people surf the Internet.
Such an eye-catching title naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.
Within minutes of the news being released, the comment section was completely overwhelmed!
"Wait? Am I seeing that? A sophomore, chief engineer of the controlled nuclear fusion project? Is today April Fools' Day?"
"The one above, this is what Xiaguo News said, it should be true!"
"What the hell! What the hell! What the hell?!"
"But I am uneducated, so I can only say 'wow' to everyone!"
"Look at other people's sophomore year, then look at my sophomore year.JPG"
"Fuck! Isn't this my classmate?!"
"??! The one upstairs, tell us your story!"
"…"
…
Right now.
The Sandaokou Nuclear Physics Laboratory is brightly lit.
In the office, Lu Yongchang put down the mobile phone in his hand, with a complicated look in his eyes.
He had just finished a phone call with his parents.
Thinking of his mother's last words, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Although his parents lived well under the protection of Xia Kingdom and the Human Union in his previous life, but... as the chief scientist, he was destined to have no time to accompany them.
How about... taking some time to go back and see them?
An idea slowly emerged in the depths of his mind.
But the next moment, he shook his head and got rid of the thought.
The sword of Damocles still hangs over the heads of all mankind, and he cannot stop!
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A rhythmic knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Lu Yongchang straightened his expression and said softly, "Come in, the door is not locked."
The office door slowly opened, and Fang Xu appeared at the door of the office.
His face was full of smiles: "Congratulations to Chief Engineer Lu, you have become famous in one fell swoop!"
Lu Yongchang rolled his eyes in annoyance and closed the cap of the pen in his hand: "Brother Xu, you are not like those vulgar people who come to me for such a small matter, right?"
Fang Xu quickly shook his head and denied: "Of course not!"
"Dean Jiang asked me to bring you a message."
"Hmm? Dean Jiang?" Lu Yongchang instantly became interested. "What does Dean Jiang want to talk to me about?"
Fang Xu looked at Lv Yongchang in front of him with a strange expression, and said softly: "Dean Jiang asked you... when are you going to graduate?"
Lu Yongchang: "...???"
"Ah? Graduation?"
Lu Yongchang's expression gradually became strange.
Having said that, he remembered that he seemed to be an undergraduate student who had just entered his sophomore year!
"Well...can I graduate? Come to think of it, I haven't written my graduation thesis yet!"
Lu Yongchang reached out and touched the tip of his nose feeling somewhat guilty.
Forget about his graduation thesis, how long has it been since he went to class?!
I guess the teachers in my major are almost forgetting about me?
Fang Xu also looked at Lu Yongchang with a strange expression.
To be honest, this was the most bizarre undergraduate student he had ever seen.
Although he had not even completed his undergraduate thesis, he was able to lead the academicians to complete the research and development of controlled nuclear fusion.
Fang Xu frowned instantly and muttered to himself: "Dean Jiang didn't say anything about this question..."
Lu Yongchang looked at Fang Xu with sweat on his forehead: "What should we do?"
"Do I have to go back to class now? Can I still make up these GPA points?"
Fang Xu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, this won't do!"
Go back to class?
joke!
Controlled nuclear fusion is just one step away, but the chief engineer has gone back to university to take sophomore courses?
Listen to it yourself, is this reasonable? !
Fang Xu pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "I have a solution!"
"You don't need to worry about your GPA. I believe the school leaders won't hold up your graduation procedures because of this."
"The focus now is on the graduation thesis."
After saying this, Fang Xu's eyes showed some uneasiness.
He felt that the leaders of the institute would not, and would not, interfere with Lu Yongchang's graduation procedures because of the graduation thesis.
This is the chief engineer of the controlled nuclear fusion project!
If it were to be known that a scientist at the academician level had not even graduated from university...I'm sure the leaders in the institute would be embarrassed!
But... Fang Xu also considered a problem.
Without a formal graduation thesis, it will always be a stain on your resume.
"How about... you integrate the data from our lab and publish an article in Science?"
"Consider this your graduation thesis!"
"What do you think?"
The corners of Lu Yongchang's mouth twitched slightly, and he nodded helplessly: "Then... this is the only way."
Okay!
His undergraduate thesis is an article on "Science". So when he is elected as an academician in the future, won't he have to submit his paper to aliens?
Lu Yongchang complained in his heart.
"So I'll start organizing the data now?"
Fang Xu shook his head repeatedly: "No hurry, no hurry!"
"Why would you need to do such a simple job? How about this? I'll ask one of my PhDs to help you finish the paper!"
"Just continue with your work."
The corners of Lu Yongchang's mouth twitched again.
Good job!
Let the PhD help him complete his undergraduate thesis.
Isn't this a bit of an overkill?
"That's right."
Fang Xu said casually: "Hongbu may come to see you in two days."
Lu Yongchang's expression slightly condensed, and he completely forgot about his graduation thesis.
"Hongbu? What's wrong?"
Fang Xu hesitated for a moment and continued, "I guess I should take you to see Councillor Li."
"After all, the laboratory has been able to achieve long-term controlled nuclear fusion. At least, shouldn't Xiaguo start preparing to build a demonstration reactor?"
Lu Yongchang's heart moved slightly.
Demonstration pile!
This is not like the small stellarator in the laboratory!
That is a large-scale equipment to be used by Xia State Power Grid!
However, this brings up a problem.
The demonstration reactor is not just about igniting nuclear fusion!
At least he needs to generate electricity, right?
You can't spend a lot of money to build a thing that can't generate electricity but can only ignite nuclear fusion, right?
"So, should we consider the option of a generator?"
Hearing Lu Yongchang's question, Fang Xu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked back: "Generator?"
"What else is there to choose from besides boiling water?"
Lu Yongchang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
That is indeed the case.
In the history of human development, from the steam age to the information age, it seems that we have never been able to escape the fate of boiling water.
Even the most advanced controlled nuclear fission power station currently relies on boiling water to generate electricity!
Even in the previous life, all nuclear fusion power plants on Earth used the simple and crude method of boiling water.
As he was sighing, his eyes moved slightly and a fragment of memory flashed through his mind.
Maybe you can try a magnetohydrodynamic generator?
