"The moon has its phases of darkness and brightness, waxing and waning; people have their sorrows and joys, partings and unions.
The sorrows and joys of people do not interconnect.
As the whole of Xia Country was celebrating, thousands of miles away, across the ocean, the United States was plunged into panic and regret!
On the streets of Washington in the United States.
Countless citizens were holding banners and flags, marching towards the White House in a mighty show.
The chaotic scenes outside continuously attracted those Americans who stayed at home.
As more and more American citizens joined, the parade grew longer and longer!
Gradually, outside the White House, people packed tightly together!
"We need an explanation!"
"Why did we drive Xia Country out of the ITER project?!"
"We need nuclear fusion!"
Bright banners bore large capital English letters.
The security personnel at the White House seemed extremely weak in front of this hundreds of thousands strong parade.
And at this moment inside the White House.
President Albert was looking at everything happening outside the White House with a worried expression, his fluffy golden hair on top of his head.
"Ah..."
He sighed deeply, pulling his gaze back from the window.
"Your Excellency Albert, do not mind these fools, they..."
"Shut up, Anthony!" Albert glared at Secretary of Defense Anthony and scolded harshly, "If it weren't for you, Xia Country should be sharing nuclear fusion technology with us for free now!"
"Look at what you've done!"
Hearing Albert's scolding, Anthony's face looked a bit ugly as he said, "Your Excellency, allow me to be frank, even if Xia Country hadn't withdrawn from the ITER project, they wouldn't share nuclear fusion technology with us!"
Albert snorted coldly: "How do you know Xia Country wouldn't do that?"
"I tell you, Anthony, no one knows Xia Country better than me!"
"I believe Xia Country will abide by this contract!"
Saying that, Albert suddenly turned his head to look at Professor Collins on the side: "Professor, how is our controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project going?"
"Don't tell me it's still on paper after all these days!"
Suddenly caught in the crossfire, Professor Collins' face stiffened and he said nervously, "Your Excellency, currently... construction has already begun!"
Albert's face relaxed.
Finally, some good news!
"Oh?" Albert's eyes showed a bit of joy, "Where has it progressed to?"
Professor Collins' mouth twitched slightly, he lowered his head and whispered: "The... foundation."
"...WTF?!"
"Professor, are you kidding me?!" Albert's face turned red at a visible speed.
"Your Excellency, the construction team has urged many times." Professor Collins sighed deeply, "I can't do anything..."
Albert's eyes twitched sharply: "I don't care about that! Tell those damn construction teams that I want to see the demonstration reactor within a month!"
"I don't care what methods you use, I only give you one month!"
"Do you understand me, Professor Collins?!"
...
On the third day after Pangoo No.1 successfully operated.
Although the controlled nuclear fusion project was successful, the research team did not disband.
At the request of Lv Yongchang, all researchers came to a secret nuclear laboratory in Xia Country.
...
At the entrance of the Xiawan Nuclear Physics Laboratory.
Hundreds of researchers looked puzzled at Lv Yongchang in front of them.
"Yongchang?"
Fang Xu pondered for a moment and decided to ask directly: "What are you preparing to do?"
Lv Yongchang chuckled, his gaze slowly sweeping over the researchers in front of him.
"Everyone must be very puzzled?"
Seeing the researchers nodding one after another, his smile became more and more obvious.
"Everyone, we have completed the development task of controlled nuclear fusion."
"But... don't you want to go further?"
Fang Xu frowned.
As someone who has been with Lv Yongchang for the longest time, Fang Xu had a vague idea in his heart.
He probably guessed what Lv Yongchang wanted to do!
"Everyone, I have applied for a project to the Speaker!"
"As for what project..." Lv Yongchang chuckled and continued, "Fusion reactor miniaturization, I don't know if everyone is interested?"
"Of course, if you don't want to participate in this research project, I won't force you to stay. After signing a confidentiality agreement, there will be someone to escort you out."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an exclamation of surprise!
"What?!"
"Fusion reactor miniaturization technology? This... isn't this a bit too advanced?!"
"This... is this really possible?!"
Unlike others who were surprised, Fang Xu calmly asked: "Yongchang, how confident are you in this technology?"
Lv Yongchang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Compared with controlled nuclear fusion, miniaturization technology is just an idea to me now, and it will definitely be more difficult."
"About 80% confident!"
Fang Xu's pupils shrank sharply.
Even with his temperament, he couldn't help but exclaim: "80%?!"
"Are you sure you didn't say it wrong?!"
You know, in scientific research, let alone 80%. Most scientific research projects have a success rate of 20% which is considered good!
Fang Xu even thought that Lv Yongchang had reversed the success rate and failure rate!
After all, in Fang Xu's imagination, as long as this project has a success rate of 20%, it is worth trying!
Faced with Fang Xu's astonishment, Lv Yongchang glanced at him speechlessly and muttered to himself: "Making a fuss over nothing..."
"80% success rate is already low enough... When I was doing Pangoo No.1, I had 99% confidence!"
Fang Xu: "...???"
He shook his head with a wry smile.
He really didn't know whether Lv Yongchang was too confident or he didn't fully understand Lv Yongchang's strength...
"I... I'll join!"
"I'll join too!"
"This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can I miss it? I'll join too!"
"That's right. When I talk about it later, I will also be a researcher who has participated in two world-class scientific research tasks!"
While Fang Xu was still doubting life, the researchers on the side had already expressed their attitudes one after another.
"Brother Xu, what do you think?" Lv Yongchang looked at Fang Xu with a smile on his side. "Have you decided?"
Fang Xu's expression was slightly stern, and a glimmer flashed through his eyes.
"Of course!"
"This kind of good thing, how can I miss it?"
...
Just as Lv Yongchang led everyone to prepare to enter Xiawan Nuclear Physics Laboratory, a paper was quietly published in the latest issue of Nature.
'On the Abnormal Performance of the Sun in the Past Month'
With the publication of this paper, Hubble Telescope in space slowly turned its direction towards the sun!
