Chapter 26 - 26.Summerland News

'Cough!'

The female host Yi Yi coughed gently, interrupting Teng Haochu's somewhat passionate speech, 'Mr Teng, there's a piece of news that I think you should listen to.'

Teng Haochu, who was once again interrupted, was like a magician who was interrupted from casting a spell, his face flushed red and he looked at the host in front of him with an angry face.

'You!'

'Can't you just let me finish my sentence?!'

An apologetic smile appeared on the host's face before he said softly, 'According to reports, the second nuclear fusion experiment of the Sandaokou University was a complete success.'

'The modified Star Imitation Vehicle has successfully sustained controlled nuclear fusion for up to thirty-five minutes, breaking the twenty-six minute record previously set by ITER in one fell swoop.'

Deng Haochu's pupils dilated slightly and he stood frozen in place.

'Mr Deng?'

A few hints of cunning appeared in the host's eyes as he gently reminded, 'Did you hear what I just said, Mr Deng?'

Deng Haochu snapped back to his senses.

His face swished and turned pale as he muttered, 'No, it's impossible ... This is absolutely impossible!'

'Mr Deng, this is the announcement released by Sandaogou University.'

The host Yi Yi 'kindly' reminded.

The corners of Deng Haochu's mouth twitched as he violently shouted, 'Impossible! It's definitely shady!'

'It's absolutely impossible for the Star Imitation Device to run stably for thirty-five minutes!'

'Boom!'

Just as Deng Haochu was yelling inside the studio, a loud bang came from the main door.

The gazes of the crowd were directed towards the studio's main door.

Only to see several men in police uniforms walk into the studio with serious faces and walk straight to Deng Haochu.

'Deng Haochu is it?'

'Please come with us!'

While saying this, the police officer in the lead took out his ID from his pocket and waved it in front of Deng Haochu.

...

Evening.

Inside a villa in the capital.

As usual, Lu Guoqing, who had finished his meal, sat on the sofa, reached out and grabbed the remote control on the side, turned on the switch of the TV set, tuned the channel to the news channel and waited for the daily news programme.

As the hour hand of the wall clock pointed to the number 7, a familiar melody came out from the television set.

'Hello everyone, welcome to today's Summer News.'

'The latest news from this station is that the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of the Sandaokou University in the capital, conducted its second controlled nuclear fusion experiment this afternoon.'

'The experiment was a complete success, and extended the controlled fusion maintenance time to thirty-five minutes, breaking the previous record of twenty-six minutes set by ITER!'

Hearing this side, Lu Guoqing's pupils dilated slightly for a few points, then slammed his hands together.

'Awesome!'

'The nuclear physics major of Sandaokou University deserves to be a top major!'

Zhou Qingru's slightly disgusted voice came from the kitchen on the side.

'I say, what are you shouting for over there? You're not even willing to help put away a bowl!'

Hearing his wife's complaint, Lu Guoqing let out a sarcastic smile and hurriedly shut his mouth.

'The latest news from this station is that the chief engineer of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project is being held by a sophomore undergraduate student from Sandaokou ...'

Before Lu Guoqing could react, the television image turned.

In the TV image, a male student wearing white short sleeves and holding a whiteboard pen wrote the last line of letters on the blackboard.

'Under the leadership of student Lv Yongchang, the Sandaokou Nuclear Physics Laboratory broke through several technical difficulties in one fell swoop and successfully realised controlled nuclear fusion technology in the laboratory ...'

At the same time, the TV screen played various clips of Lv Yongchang doing research in the lab.

At this moment, Lv Guoqing was already somewhat unresponsive.

He slowly stood up, looking at the television in front of him with an unbelievable face, and shouted loudly, 'Qing Ru! Qing Ru you come and take 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?'

'We ... our son is on the news!'

The words had just fallen, and a clanking sound came from the kitchen.

The next moment, Zhou Qingru, with an apron tied around her body, flew to the living room, looking slightly flustered, 'What? What's going on? What happened to our son?!'

Lu Guoqing opened his mouth, but did not utter a single word.

He felt that at this moment, there were no words that could express the shock in his heart!

He could only feebly reach out and point at the TV screen in front of him, 'This ... is our son, right?'

Zhou Qingru stared blankly at the TV screen, a touch of shock gradually surfacing in her eyes.

Perhaps because the Controlled Nuclear Fusion project was more important, the Xia news spent a whole five minutes on this news.

During that time, there was a full two minutes spent on introducing Lu Yongchang.

The TV screen flickered slightly, returning to the news presenter's interface.

'News from this station ...'

What content was put on the news in the back, Lv Guoqing and Zhou Qingru heard every word into their ears.

At this moment, the two of them were still standing in front of the television set, staring at the television screen with a dazed expression.

For a long time, Lu Guoqing slightly swallowed his saliva and came back to his senses, 'This, this brat ... without saying a word actually did such a big thing!'

'I, I have to make a phone call to teach him a good lesson!'

Saying that, Lu Guoqing turned his hand to get the mobile phone on the coffee table.

The next moment, Zhou Qingru glared fiercely at her husband, 'What are you doing?!'

Lv Guoqing's hand movements lurched, smiled sarcastically and said towards his wife, 'I, I'm going to make a phone call to our son and ask him what's going on ...'

Zhou Qingru rolled her eyes, and said without a good mood, 'Is this kind of thing something that can be asked casually?'

'In case there are any confidentiality issues involved, do you want to get Yongchang killed?'

Lu Guoqing's face stiffened and he slowly retracted his own hand back, 'Then ... we're just going to wait?'

Just as the two of them were getting tangled up, a phone rang.

It was Zhou Qingru's mobile phone.

Zhou Qingru's complexion moved slightly and hurriedly bent down to grab her own mobile phone on the coffee table.

The moment she saw the incoming number, an excited smile appeared on Zhou Qingru's face, 'It's Yongchang's phone!'

Lu Guoqing's eyes twitched and immediately urged in a low voice, 'Pick it up! Why don't you pick it up!'

Zhou Qingru nodded repeatedly and busily picked up the phone.

'Mum?'

Just after opening the speakerphone, Lv Yongchang's voice came from the phone.

'Yongchang, what's that ... thing that was put on the news in Xia? What kind of nuclear fusion are you messing with now?!'

Before Zhou Qingru could speak, Lv Guoqing on the side couldn't wait to ask.

'Eh ...'

Lv Yongchang's voice contained a few moments of hesitation.

Zhou Qingru glared at Lv Guoqing and hurriedly opened her mouth to add, 'Yongchang, don't listen to your father! If it involves any confidentiality regulations, there's no need to talk to us!'

A light laugh came from the other end of the phone, 'It's not that there's any secrecy, it's just that I didn't think that this matter had made it to the Xia news ...'

'Yes, it's true that I'm now researching controlled nuclear fusion technology.'

'Then you are now the Chief Engineer of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion project in Xia?!'

Lu Guoqing's question once again made Lu Yongchang freeze.

Unexpectedly, Xia News had actually stirred this up!

However, it wasn't something to be ashamed of, so Lv Yongchang naturally admitted it in a big way.

Lu Guoqing and Zhou Qingru looked at each other, for a long time, Zhou Qingru slowly spoke, 'Yongchang ... remember to take care of yourself.'

Lu Yongchang on the other side of the phone heard this, his nose was slightly sour, and for a while he choked a little.

'Well.'
