The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions.
People do not share the same joys and sorrows.
While the whole country of Xia was celebrating, the United States, thousands of miles away, on the other side of the ocean, was in a state of panic and regret!
The streets of Wharton, USA.
Countless citizens, holding banners and flags, marched towards the White House in a mighty manner.
The chaotic scenes outside continue to attract Americans who stay at home.
As more and more American citizens joined in, the parade became longer and longer!
Gradually, the outside of the White House was crowded with people!
"We need an explanation!"
"Why kick Xiaguo out of the ITER project?!"
"We need nuclear fusion!"
The bright banners were written with capital English letters.
The White House security personnel seemed extremely weak in front of the hundreds of thousands of marchers.
And at this moment inside the White House.
President Albert, with his fluffy blond hair, was looking through the window at everything happening outside the White House with a sad face.
"Why..."
He sighed deeply and turned his gaze away from the window.
"Mr. Albert, don't worry about these fools. They..."
"Shut up, Anthony!" Albert looked at Defense Minister Anthony fiercely and shouted, "If it weren't for you, Xia Country should have shared its nuclear fusion technology with us for free!"
"Look at what you've done!"
Hearing Albert's rebuke, Anthony said with an unpleasant expression: "Mr. President, with all due respect, even if Xiaguo had not withdrawn from the ITER project, they would not share nuclear fusion technology with us!"
Albert snorted coldly: "How do you know that Xia Guo won't do this?"
"I tell you, Anthony, no one knows Xiaguo better than me!"
"I believe that Xiaguo will abide by this contract!"
As he spoke, Albert suddenly turned his head and looked at Professor Collins beside him: "Professor, how is our controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project going?"
"Don't tell me it's been so many days and it's still on the drawing board!"
Professor Collins, who was suddenly caught up in the war, froze and said anxiously, "Mr. President, at present... the construction has already started!"
Albert's face relaxed.
Finally there is some good news!
"Oh?" Albert's eyes showed some joy, "How far has it progressed?"
The corners of Professor Collins' mouth twitched slightly. He lowered his head and said softly, "The...the foundation."
"…WTF?!"
"Professor, are you kidding me?!" Albert's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Mr. President, the construction team has urged us many times." Professor Collins sighed deeply, "I can't do anything..."
Albert's eyes twitched violently twice: "I don't care about that! Tell those damn construction teams that I want to see the demonstration pile appear within a month!"
"I don't care what method you use, I will only give you one month!"
"Do you understand, Professor Collins?!"
…
The third day of Pangu-1's successful operation.
Although the controlled nuclear fusion project was successful, the research team did not disband.
At Lu Yongchang's request, all researchers came to a secret nuclear laboratory in Xia State.
…
At the entrance of Daxiawan Nuclear Physics Laboratory.
Hundreds of researchers looked at Lu Yongchang in front of them with confusion.
"Yongchang?"
Fang Xu hesitated for a moment and decided to ask directly: "What are you going to do?"
Lu Yongchang chuckled and slowly glanced at the group of researchers in front of him.
"Everyone must be confused, right?"
Seeing the researchers nodding one after another, the smile on his face became more obvious.
"Everyone, we have completed the research and development of controlled nuclear fusion."
"It's just...don't you want to go further?"
Fang Xu frowned.
As the person who has been with Lu Yongchang the longest, Fang Xu had a vague idea in his mind.
He probably guessed what Lu Yongchang wanted to do!
"Everyone, I have submitted a project application to the Councillor!"
"As for what the project is..." Lu Yongchang chuckled and continued, "Miniaturization of fusion reactors, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Of course, if you don't want to participate in this research project, I won't force you to stay. After you sign the confidentiality agreement, someone will naturally send you away."
As soon as the words fell, a cry of surprise was heard!
"What?!"
"Fusion reactor miniaturization technology? Isn't this a bit too advanced?!"
"Is this really possible?!"
Unlike the others who were surprised, Fang Xu asked calmly: "Yongchang, how confident are you about this technology?"
Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Compared with controlled nuclear fusion, I only have a clue about miniaturization technology, and it is definitely more difficult."
"About 80% sure!"
Fang Xu's pupils suddenly shrank.
Even with his temperament, he couldn't help but exclaimed at this moment: "80%?!"
"Are you sure you didn't say it wrong?!"
You know, when it comes to scientific research, let alone 80%, a 20% success rate for most scientific research projects is considered pretty good!
Fang Xu even wondered if Lu Yongchang in front of him had misinterpreted the success rate and failure rate!
After all, in Fang Xu's expectation, as long as the success rate of this project is 20%, it would be worth a try!
Facing Fang Xu's surprise, Lu Yongchang glanced at him speechlessly and muttered to himself: "What a fuss..."
"An 80% success rate is already low enough... When I was working on Pangu No. 1, I was 99% sure!"
Fang Xu: "...???"
He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I really don't know whether Lu Yongchang is too confident or he doesn't fully understand Lu Yongchang's strength...
"I...I'll participate!"
"I'm joining in too!"
"How can I be left out of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? I'll participate too!"
"That's right. When the time comes, I'll tell everyone that I'm a researcher who has participated in two world-class scientific research missions!"
While Fang Xu was still doubting his life, the researchers nearby had already spoken out to express their attitudes.
"Brother Xu, what do you say?" Lu Yongchang smiled and looked at Fang Xu beside him, "Have you thought about it?"
Fang Xu's expression was slightly stern, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"certainly!"
"How can I be missing out on such a good thing?"
…
Just as Lu Yongchang was leading everyone to move into the Daxiawan Nuclear Physics Laboratory, a paper was quietly published in the latest issue of "Nature".
On the Abnormal Behavior of the Sun in the Last Month
With the publication of this paper, the Hubble telescope in space slowly turned its direction and projected towards the sun!
