Hardcore rumor refutation

"Knock, knock, knock!"

As soon as the councilor finished speaking, a rapid knock on the door sounded.

"Come in!"

The councilor slightly frowned and said in a short and forceful tone.

The next moment, the office door was pushed open.

Outside the door, Hong Qiming's face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were shining with excitement!

"Minister Hong? What happened?" Seeing Hong Qiming's appearance, a hint of doubt appeared in the councilor's eyes.

In his impression, Hong Qiming had never been so失态 before!

"Councilor! Great news! Great news!"

Hong Qiming shouted loudly, "Just now, news came from Fang Xu that the small - scale fusion reactor project has been successful!"

The councilor's body shook violently!

Before he could fully react, Hong Qiming blurted out the second sentence, "Not only that, Professor Lv has successfully developed the first - generation Hall thruster!"

This time, even the councilor couldn't hold back!

"What!"

"So fast?!"

Councilor Li stood up from his chair with a thud, looking at Hong Qiming with excited eyes, "When will the experiment start?!"

Hong Qiming swallowed slightly, "Currently, the military is transporting the small - scale fusion reactor to the Aerospace Research Institute.

I estimate... in about two hours, Professor Lv will start the first experiment!"

...

At the entrance of a highway in China.

"What's going on... Why is this highway blocked for no reason?"

In a Haval car, a man frowned and looked ahead, "Could there be a car accident?"

Beside the man was a gentle woman with long shoulder - length hair.

The woman rolled down the car window, stretched her head out and looked forward, "It shouldn't be a car accident.

There aren't any cars on the highway. They should just be blocking the entrance."

Hearing this, a hint of anxiety flashed in the man's eyes.

He reached out to unbuckle his seat belt and yanked open the car door.

"Hey! What are you going to do?!" The woman's face changed slightly, and she quickly shouted in warning, "This is a highway. Don't do anything stupid!"

The man's movement paused slightly, then he turned his head to look at the woman helplessly, "I'm going to the toll booth to ask about the situation. I'll be right back."

A few minutes later.

The man walked to the window of the highway toll booth.

Looking at the staff inside, the man pondered for a moment and then stepped forward to strike up a conversation, "Buddy, what's the situation with this highway...?

What happened inside?"

Hearing the man's voice, the staff member looked up at the man, then shook his head helplessly, "I don't know either.

I just received an order from above to block this section of the highway for half an hour."

The man nodded thoughtfully.

An order from above?

Could it be transporting some important supplies?!

The next moment, the sound of police sirens and roars attracted the man's attention.

The man quickly turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly constricted!

In the sky, five armed helicopters roared past!

He could even see the air - to - ground missiles hanging under the armed helicopters!

At the same time, three police cars with sirens on appeared in his field of vision.

The three police cars formed a chevron shape and led the way in front, and six military - green - painted military vehicles followed closely behind!

There were also several heavy machine guns with cold glints on the roofs of the military vehicles!

In the middle of the military vehicle convoy was a heavy - duty truck.

With his 5.0 vision, the man barely made out what was loaded on the heavy - duty truck.

A pitch - black cylindrical object.

Taking advantage of the fact that the toll - booth staff wasn't paying attention, he quickly took out his phone and took a photo of the truck.

...

"What's going on?"

Seeing the man's hasty look, the gentle woman slightly frowned and asked softly, "Did the staff say what the reason was?"

There was a glint of excitement in the man's eyes. He put his finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture.

The woman's expression froze.

Although she didn't know what was happening, she shut up immediately.

The man quickly jumped into the car.

After closing the car door, he let out a long breath.

After calming down his nervousness, he said to the woman mysteriously, "You'll never guess what happened!"

"What exactly happened?" The woman's frown deepened.

"The country is transporting military supplies!" The man said as he took out his phone from his pocket and showed the photo he took.

"See, police cars leading the way and military vehicles escorting!

With this kind of momentum, it must be transporting military supplies!"

Looking at the man's confident look, the woman leaned over suspiciously to take a look at the photo on the phone.

A pitch - black cylindrical object.

"What... What is this thing?"

The man frowned tightly and slowly shook his head, "I don't know either..."

"Maybe it's some new type of weapon?"

As he spoke, the man opened the Weibo app on his phone.

"Hey! Don't spread this photo randomly!" The woman's face changed slightly, and her voice became shriller.

The man ignored the woman's words and just stared blankly at the phone screen.

"I don't need to upload it. The official has already come out to refute the rumors..."

The man said as he held the phone in front of the woman's eyes.

The woman subconsciously looked at the phone screen.

The latest Weibo post of the official account of China News.

"Emergency Rumor Refutation!"

"Today, several sections of highways in China were closed. There were rumors on the Internet that military supplies were being transported.

China News hereby refutes the rumor. This is not military supplies!

The photo of the pitch - black cylindrical object that appeared on the Internet is a prototype of a small - scale fusion reactor newly developed by China, not the so - called military supplies!"

The woman subconsciously took the phone and dragged her finger to the comment section below the Weibo post.

"Damn it!"

"I'd call this the most hardcore rumor - refutation in history!"

"Damn, it would be better if you said it was military supplies. Is this how you refute rumors??"

"I knew it! China's traditional move has appeared again!"

"Hahaha! I feel sorry for Western countries for one second. They just bought the first - generation technology, and in a blink of an eye, China has come up with a second - generation prototype."

"Are you sure it's a prototype? Why do I think it looks like a finished product?"

"Don't believe or spread rumors. If the official says it's a prototype, then it's a prototype!"

"China: Guess if I have a third - generation product in my hand?"

...

At the National Aerospace Research Institute of China.

The basic principle and structure of the Hall thruster are not very difficult, or rather, they are quite simple.

The main factors restricting its function are power and loss problems.

Therefore, after Lv Yongchang solved these two major problems, the research progress of the Hall thruster advanced significantly in an instant!

With the full cooperation of Cao Liangcai and a group of top engineers, the prototype of the first - generation Hall thruster emerged in front of everyone in just over ten days.
