"Councilor Chief?!"
Jiang Yongxing drew in a breath of cold air.
"How, how did it get to Councilor Li's side?"
Fang Xu's face was a bit heavy, and he said softly, "There is something you may not be clear about."
"Something seems to have happened on ITER's side ... of Xia."
Jiang Yongxing's face instantly changed greatly!
"What? Something happened to ITER?!"
ITER, full name International Thermonuclear Fusion Experimental Reactor program.
It was a superconducting tokomak device that could produce large-scale nuclear fusion reactions!
Xia, as one of the member countries, could use this device to obtain a lot of useful controlled fusion information.
As for why they didn't build one themselves ...
The reason is simple.
Expensive and troublesome!
The entire ITER project, which took thirteen years, cost five billion rice dollars!
Although Xia had developed well in the past few years, it was still a bit too extravagant to spend so much money to build a test machine!
After all, whether the Tokomak device could carry controlled nuclear fusion was still an unknown!
If the money was spent and the time was spent, and a big guy was built that didn't serve any purpose, wouldn't that be too much of a loss?
...
The capital, inside the first ring.
A location that could not be found on the map.
Hong Qiming stood at the door of his office and knocked on the door with a grave expression.
"Enter!"
An aged voice came from inside the door.
Hong Qiming slowly pushed open the door of the room and stepped inside.
An old man with white hair was sitting behind a desk quietly looking at him.
The old man's eyes were filled with wisdom and confidence, as if everything in the world was within his grasp!
"Councilor Li!"
Hong Qiming greeted the old man with a respectful face.
The old man put down the pen in his hand and slowly spoke, "Minister Hong, I heard that you have a very important matter to report to me?"
Hong Qiming hurriedly nodded his head and told the old man truthfully about the matter reported up by the Three Roads University.
Councilor Li's face grew serious.
"Is this true?"
Hong Qiming hesitated for a moment and nodded, "It should be true, you should remember Academician Fang Xu, right?"
Councilor Li nodded and said, "Of course I remember, Xia's current latest controlled nuclear fusion achievement was achieved by the team he led, right?"
"This matter ... is related to him?"
Hong Qiming nodded his head once again in affirmation, "Fang Xu and the professors from Sandaokou University did a preliminary assessment of the program, and he is very confident in this program!"
Councilor Li was once again silent for a moment.
He reached out and pulled out a document from the pile of papers on the side and handed it to Hong Qiming, "Let's not talk about this for now, take a look at this document."
Hong Qiming reached out and took the document with a puzzled expression, and the moment he saw the title, a flash of huffiness surfaced in his eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"This! This is impossible!"
"It's absolutely impossible for our scientists in Xia to do such underhanded things!"
Councilor Li sighed deeply, a bit of worry surfacing in his eyes.
He slowly shook his head and said, "It's not up to us to say what's possible or impossible ...."
"The ITER program has been trying to kick us out for a long time, so it doesn't matter whether or not our scientists have done this kind of thing."
Hong Qiming wanted to speak, "But ..."
"But the reputation is just too unpleasant!"
Hong Qiming bit his back teeth hard and looked at the document in his hand once again.
In the document, it described in detail the behavior of Xia's scientific researchers in the ITER project who had stolen important data from the experiment without authorization.
"Then ... what should we do?"
"Can't we just stand by and watch ITER falsely accuse us?"
Councilor Li said calmly, "In addition to framing us, they are also asking us to voluntarily withdraw from the ITER program."
"This news, I guess it will be officially released tomorrow."
Boom!
Hong Qiming felt like the veins in his brain exploded in an instant!
"How ... outrageous!"
"This is simply, simply too deceitful!"
Councilor Li slowly spoke, "Letting you read this document is not for anything else, but to tell you one thing."
"Next, Xia can only rely on ourselves when it comes to controlled fusion research."
"So, what to do, you should understand, right?"
Facing Councilor Li's meaningful gaze, Hong Qiming's face was slightly aghast.
"Yes!"
"Please don't worry, Councilor Li, I'll make a trip to Sandaogou University!"
...
In the evening, Lv Yongchang returned to his dormitory after a day of wandering around the campus.
"Ooh! Brother Lu you're finally back!"
Just as he pushed open the door of the dormitory room, the voice of his roommate Wu Qi came from the dormitory.
"Brother Lv, what are you smoking in the big stuff classroom today?"
Facing his roommate's curious question, Lv Yongchang gave a sarcastic smile, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain.
Is it hard to tell him that he was reborn back?
After pondering for a moment, a reason that was barely passable slowly surfaced in the bottom of his heart.
"Ahem! Some time ago, I took the time to research something, and when I had a brain fart during class, I went on stage and wrote it up."
The color of curiosity in Wu Qi's eyes intensified, "Research? What did you research out?"
"Say, what did Professor Guan leave you behind for? It's not going to make you drop out, is it?"
Lu Yongchang: "...???"
Drop out?
Why drop out?
Not to mention dropping out, he would probably be "promoted" soon!
Of course, he definitely couldn't say this to Wu Qi.
"Professor ... felt that my research was valuable and gave me recognition, then ... let me come back."
Wu Qi: "???"
"The ... is gone?!"
Wu Qi looked at Lv Yongchang with a surprised face, "Don't bluff me, they all say that Prof. Guan can be strict!"
Lv Yongchang hurriedly changed the topic, "What happened in the morning in the Big Things classroom, it didn't spread, did it?"
Wu Qi hurriedly shook his head, his face slightly more serious.
"Don't worry, other than the students in class, I guess no outsiders know about it."
Lv Yongchang's eyes widened slightly for a few moments, looking at Wu Qi in front of him with a horrified expression, "Are you serious?!"
In this era where melon eating was prevalent, he was even ready to become famous in one fell swoop!
Wu Qi did not say anything, but turned around and took out an A4 printout from the side, handing it to Lv Yongchang.
Confidentiality Agreement.
Seeing the line of large black letters on the A4 paper, Lv Yongchang shook his head with a bitter smile.
Unexpectedly, Professor Guan did things so reliably that he even made all the students sign a confidentiality agreement!
But ... this is good.
The sun has not started to change at the moment.
If Xia wanted to become the leader of the Earth Human League, it could only rely on this last chance to bend the curve!
As a native of Xia, Lu Yongchang naturally hoped that everyone in Xia could survive this future disaster!
As for how to live ...
He had already thought about it a long time ago!
Since the destruction of the sun was a foregone conclusion, he could only lead the Xia Kingdom ... to lead the human race to escape from the Earth within twenty years!
Only the endless starry sky above his head is the only way to survive in the future!
