Sandaokou University, Nuclear Physics Laboratory.
"Bang!"
A loud noise came from the innermost office.
A few researchers' hands trembled slightly. They stopped their work and looked up towards the innermost office.
"What's wrong with Academician Fang?"
A researcher asked softly, with a look of confusion in his eyes, to the person beside him.
The researcher who was asked slowly shook his head, his face also filled with confusion.
"I don't know. Our recent experiments haven't failed either... Why did Academician Fang suddenly lose his temper?"
Just as everyone was puzzled, the door of the innermost office was suddenly pulled open.
Fang Xu walked out of the office with a flushed face.
"Damn it! How could the ITER do this?!"
The laboratory fell silent, and Fang Xu's muttering was particularly clear.
The researcher who had just spoken summoned up his courage and asked Fang Xu softly, "Academician Fang, what happened to the ITER?"
Hearing the question, Fang Xu suddenly raised his head and glanced at the researcher who asked. Then, with an ugly expression, he said, "The ITER said that... our Xia Country's scientists copied the experimental data without permission and took it out of the laboratory!"
Wow!
As soon as Fang Xu said this, there was an uproar in the Nuclear Physics Laboratory!
"Academician Fang, is this... is this true?!"
Hearing the question from his subordinate researcher, Fang Xu's expression became even uglier. He shook his head vigorously and said, "Of course not!"
"The scientists sent by our Xia Country are all upright gentlemen. Not only do they have a high - level of scientific research, but their character is also first - rate!"
"They definitely wouldn't do such a... such a disgraceful thing on their own initiative!"
"Then... how does the ITER plan to deal with this matter?" a researcher asked nervously.
You know, this kind of behavior is an untouchable bottom - line in every research institution!
Not to mention an international organization like the ITER, even in an ordinary private laboratory, once such an act of stealing data is caught, the thief will pay an extremely heavy price!
A hint of pain flashed in Fang Xu's eyes.
The next moment, he slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "Xia Country announces that... it will take the initiative to withdraw from the ITER plan."
As Fang Xu said this, the discussions in the Nuclear Physics Laboratory disappeared instantly.
Every researcher looked at Fang Xu with an incredulous look.
"This news... was just announced this morning." Fang Xu said with some difficulty, "Everyone, from now on, we need to carry the banner of controlled nuclear fusion research on our own."
Suddenly, Fang Xu's eyes moved slightly.
"Everyone, stop the research tasks at hand and fully prepare a new type of material!"
Saying that, Fang Xu turned on a computer in the laboratory and downloaded the photo of Lü Yongchang's "blackboard writing" to the computer.
...
At the same time, at the gate of Sandaokou University.
A black Audi A6 slowly passed through the security booth and drove into Sandaokou University.
Without any hesitation, the Audi A6 drove straight in the direction of the Nuclear Physics Laboratory.
...
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Lü Yongchang stood anxiously at the door of an office, reaching out to knock on the door.
"The door isn't locked. Come in."
The voice of Professor Guan Hualiang came from inside the office.
Lü Yongchang quickly turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.
"It's you..."
Seeing the person coming, Professor Guan Hualiang's expression was slightly startled.
Then, he quickly put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and greeted Lü Yongchang, "What's the matter, Yongchang? Do you have something to say?"
Since participating in yesterday's全院会议 (department - wide meeting), Guan Hualiang had regarded Lü Yongchang as a scholar "on an equal footing" with himself!
This "on an equal footing" referred to their academic status.
Even, in Guan Hualiang's view, although Lü Yongchang was just a sophomore student, his academic status was far higher than his own!
After all, Guan Hualiang considered himself just an ordinary university professor, but Lü Yongchang was very likely to be a rising star in the academic world who could achieve controlled nuclear fusion!
Lü Yongchang didn't notice Guan Hualiang's action of getting up to greet him. With a slightly ugly expression, he said, "Professor Guan, have you seen that piece of news?"
Guan Hualiang's movement suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face became slightly gloomy, "You mean... the ITER thing?"
Lü Yongchang gently nodded.
Guan Hualiang took a deep breath and waved to Lü Yongchang, "Yongchang, sit down first."
Seeing Lü Yongchang sitting on the chair, he also slowly sat down and said, "Yongchang, I believe that our Xia Country's scientists wouldn't do such a thing!"
"I believe that there must be some unknown secrets in this incident!"
Lü Yongchang's eyes moved slightly.
As a reborn person, of course he knew that Guan Hualiang's speculation was completely correct!
But... with his current identity, he couldn't make the truth of the matter public!
Even, Lü Yongchang could imagine that the high - level of Xia Country couldn't announce the truth either!
All the humiliation would be put on those few scientists.
In everyone's eyes, the scientist who did the "data - copying" operation was the culprit!
The "crimes" on them wouldn't be completely cleared until more than ten years later!
But... it would be too late!
Thinking of this, Lü Yongchang tightly clenched his fists.
"...Professor, what about the review result from yesterday?"
After a moment of silence, Lü Yongchang took the initiative to change the topic.
He was afraid that he couldn't help but tell the truth he knew!
Hearing Lü Yongchang's question, a faint smile appeared on Guan Hualiang's face.
Sure enough, he's still young... He couldn't wait to ask just one night later.
He chuckled and said, "After you left yesterday, Dean Jiang and Dean Tian proposed to hold a department - wide meeting."
Lü Yongchang's expression remained normal.
A department - wide meeting?
It was expected!
He didn't think that just a few professors could thoroughly understand this plan!
"You don't seem surprised at all?" A hint of surprise flashed in Guan Hualiang's eyes.
Could it be that the young man in front of him had already anticipated this result?
Lü Yongchang nodded calmly, "Of course I'm not surprised. After all, Dean Tian isn't a scholar mainly engaged in controlled nuclear fusion research. It's normal for him to be unsure!"
Guan Hualiang looked at Lü Yongchang with a somewhat strange expression.
Although he knew that what Lü Yongchang said was true, but... the scene of a young man in his early twenties talking freely about the main research directions of several professors was really a bit surreal!
But somehow... this young man had the qualifications to talk about it!
"Ahem! What if I tell you that the department - wide meeting passed your plan, and moreover, your plan has been reported to the Xia Country Parliament. Would you be surprised?"
Lü Yongchang's pupils suddenly shrank!
So fast?!
It's already been reported to the Xia Country Parliament?!!
