Chapter 13 - chief engineer

Lü Yongchang fell silent.

Fang Xu and Guan Hualiang beside him cast concerned glances at him.

Under the gaze of everyone, he nodded slightly.

"Of course."

"Hahaha! Good!" Hong Qiming laughed heartily and gently clapped his hands, "Truly不愧是 our young people in Xiaguo! Responsible!"

The next moment, Hong Qiming changed the topic, "From now on, you are no longer a sophomore student at Sandaokou University!"

"You are the chief engineer of Xiaguo's controlled nuclear fusion project! Academician Fang Xu will be your deputy!"

The laboratory fell silent.

Fang Xu, Guan Hualiang, and the researchers in the laboratory all cast incredulous glances at Hong Qiming and Lü Yongchang in front of them!

Were those words Minister Hong just said... serious?!

Lü Yongchang was a little excited in his heart.

He didn't expect that the Xiaguo Parliament at this time was even "bolder" than he thought!

They would actually let a sophomore undergraduate student like him preside over such a huge plan!

Now, he could complete his plan even faster!

Perhaps considering Lü Yongchang's age at this time, Hong Qiming's expression was a bit solemn as he added, "Lü Yongchang, you have to think it through. The task assigned by Parliamentarian Li is to initially achieve controlled nuclear fusion within one year. At the very least, our Xiaguo's own controlled nuclear fusion should achieve the same effect as ITER!"

Hearing this, Fang Xu's pupils beside him suddenly shrank!

You know, Xiaguo doesn't even have a controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor that truly belongs to it!

Could this task... really be completed?!

Unlike the nervous expressions of the people around him, a faint smile appeared on Lü Yongchang's face.

He nodded slightly, "I accept this task!"

"And I can assure you that within one year, Xiaguo will completely master controlled nuclear fusion technology!"

"What?!"

"Yongchang! What are you talking nonsense about!"

As Lü Yongchang's voice fell, Fang Xu and Guan Hualiang beside him exclaimed in unison!

Guan Hualiang even sternly rebuked Lü Yongchang, "Lü Yongchang! Such a major scientific research matter can't be said casually! Hurry up and apologize to Minister Hong!"

As he spoke, Guan Hualiang bowed his head to apologize to Hong Qiming, "Minister Hong, this child Lü Yongchang is still just a sophomore student after all. Sometimes he speaks without thinking..."

Hong Qiming naturally didn't take such a small matter to heart.

He smiled and waved his hand to interrupt Guan Hualiang's words. Then, he looked at the somewhat young - looking Lü Yongchang in front of him with great interest.

"Do you know what your words just now mean?"

Lü Yongchang's face showed no change, "Of course, Minister Hong, I know what I'm saying!"

Guan Hualiang reached out to cover his eyes and deeply sighed, "What a disaster..."

He even began to doubt whether he should have brought Lü Yongchang here!

Lü Yongchang didn't make any extra explanations. He just took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Hong Qiming.

"Minister Hong, whether what I said is true or not, please take a look at the content in the USB flash drive before making a decision!"

Hong Qiming's eyebrows slightly raised, and he reached out to take the USB flash drive handed over by Lü Yongchang.

"Hehe... I'm becoming more and more interested in you, kid!"

"You should know the consequences of deceiving a minister - level parliamentarian, right?"

As he spoke, Hong Qiming turned his gaze to Fang Xu, "Academician Fang, please do me a favor and project the content in the USB flash drive so that we can see what kind of surprise he has brought us!"

Fang Xu stepped forward with a helpless expression and took the USB flash drive from Hong Qiming's hand.

When passing by Lü Yongchang, he let out a deep sigh.

He had a premonition that Xiaguo had lost the bet.

He even felt a bit ridiculous.

How could Xiaguo bet on such a young lad!

As for Lü Yongchang, he looked calm and composed.

The content in the USB flash drive was the result of him typing on the keyboard in his dormitory all night last night.

There wasn't much, just the detailed drawings of the controlled nuclear fusion reactor.

The workload was huge. However, thanks to the potential he developed in his previous life, he managed to barely complete it.

A few minutes later, a projector was brought over.

After connecting the projector to the computer, Fang Xu reached out and inserted the USB flash drive into the computer interface.

"Hmm?"

The moment he saw the files in the USB flash drive, a look of surprise flashed across Fang Xu's face.

At the same time, he subconsciously double - clicked the left mouse button to open the file.

The next moment, a detailed and intricate drawing appeared on the snow - white wall!

"What is this..." Hong Qiming's pupils suddenly shrank as he looked at the drawing in front of him and murmured to himself.

Not only Hong Qiming, but Fang Xu and all the researchers in the laboratory were also stunned, staring blankly at the drawing in front of them.

As the person in charge of the nuclear physics laboratory, Fang Xu immediately combined the drawing in front of him with the simple diagram on the blackboard.

He swallowed slightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Lü... Yongchang, is this the detailed drawing of the controlled nuclear fusion reactor?"

Lü Yongchang naturally nodded with a smile, "Of course. To be precise, this is the detailed drawing of the reactor."

"Now, do you believe what I said?"

Hong Qiming also came back to his senses from the shock. Looking at Lü Yongchang in front of him, his eyes sparkled!

"Good kid... Did you complete this all by yourself?!"

Although he already had an answer in his heart, he still couldn't believe it.

Completing such a drawing alone...

Although he didn't know much about scientific research, he also knew how much knowledge reserve was needed to complete such a drawing!

Under normal circumstances, this kind of drawing required several people, or even several teams, to work together!

Lü Yongchang nodded with a smile, affirming Hong Qiming's question.

Hong Qiming's eyes slightly trembled. Although he couldn't understand this drawing and didn't know its authenticity and reliability.

But... he could tell from the expressions of Fang Xu and the researchers how astonishing the drawing in front of him was!

Fang Xu beside him let out a soft breath and looked at Lü Yongchang with a complicated expression.

Just a moment ago, he still thought that entrusting such an important task to this young lad was a wrong decision.

But now, he decided to take back the words that he hadn't even said yet.

What young lad was this?!

This was simply, simply not human!

Fang Xu cursed in his heart!

Throughout the history of Xiaguo, he had never heard of anyone being able to complete the drawing of a large - scale device single - handedly!

Although this was only part of the drawing of the controlled nuclear fusion reactor, it was still astonishing enough!

"How long did it take you to complete this drawing?"

Fang Xu asked in a slightly trembling voice.

Lü Yongchang secretly glanced at Fang Xu's expression and said with an awkward smile, "Uh... almost a year or so?"

Okay.

Almost a year, that was still somewhat acceptable... Bullshit!

Fang Xu's expression was a bit distorted, "You only spent a year or so on such a complicated thing?!"

So what had they, these researchers, been doing for nearly ten years? Feeding it to the dogs?!!
