Chapter 42 Fusion reactor miniaturization task begins

The moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

While the whole country of Xia was celebrating, thousands of miles away, the country of America on the other side of the ocean fell into a state of panic and regret!

The streets of Walton, USA.

Countless citizens held banners and flags in their hands and marched toward the White House with great momentum.

The chaotic scenes outside continue to attract Americans who stay at home.

As American citizens joined one by one, the parade became longer and longer!

Gradually, the outside of the White House in the United States was densely packed with people!

"We need an explanation!"

"Why expel Xia Guo from the ITER project?!"

"We need fusion!"

The bright banners have English letters in capital letters written on them.

The security personnel of the White House seemed extremely weak in front of the hundreds of thousands of marchers.

And inside the White House at this moment.

President Abbott was holding his head of fluffy blond hair, watching everything happening outside the White House through the window with a sad expression.

"Why……"

He sighed deeply and looked away from the window.

"Your Excellency Albert, don't worry about these fools, they..."

"Shut up, Anthony!" Albert looked at Secretary of Defense Anthony fiercely and scolded, "If it weren't for you, the Xia Kingdom would have shared its nuclear fusion technology with us for free!"

"Look at the good things you've done!"

Hearing Albert's scolding, Anthony said with an ugly face: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, President, even if the Xia Kingdom does not withdraw from the ITER project, they will not share nuclear fusion technology with us!"

Albert snorted coldly: "How do you know Xia Guo won't do this?"

"I tell you Anthony, no one understands Xia Kingdom better than me!"

"I believe that Xia will abide by this contract!"

As he spoke, Albert suddenly turned his head and looked at Professor Collins: "Professor, how is our controllable fusion demonstration reactor project going?"

"Don't tell me it's still on the drawing board after so many days!"

Professor Collins, who was suddenly involved in the war, froze and said with an uneasy expression: "Your Excellency, at present... the construction has begun!"

Albert's face relaxed.

That’s good news!

"Oh?" Albert's eyes showed a bit of joy, "How far has it gone?"

Professor Collins' mouth twitched slightly, lowered his head, and said softly: "Earth... foundation."

"...WTF?!"

"Professor, are you kidding me?!" Albert's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your Excellency, the construction team has been urging you many times." Professor Collins sighed deeply, "There is nothing I can do..."

Albert's eyes twitched twice: "I don't care about this! Tell those damn construction teams that I will see the demonstration reactor appear within a month!"

"I don't care what method you use, I only give you one month!"

"Do you understand, Professor Collins?!"

…

The third day of successful operation of Pangu-1.

Although the controllable nuclear fusion project was successful, the research team did not disband.

At Lu Yongchang's request, all the researchers came to a secret nuclear laboratory in Xia Kingdom.

…

The entrance of Daxia Bay Nuclear Physics Laboratory.

Hundreds of researchers looked at Lu Yongchang in front of them with puzzled faces.

"Yongchang?"

Fang Xu pondered for a moment and decided to ask directly: "What are you planning to do?"

Lu Yongchang chuckled and slowly glanced at the researchers in front of him.

"Everyone must be confused, right?"

Seeing the researchers nodding, the smile on his face became more obvious.

"Everyone, we have completed the research and development task of controllable nuclear fusion."

"It's just...don't you want to go further?"

Fang Xu frowned.

As the person who has spent the longest time with Lu Yongchang, Fang Xu had a vague idea in his mind.

He probably guessed what Lu Yongchang wanted to do!

"Everyone, I have submitted a project application to the Speaker!"

"As for what the project is..." Lu Yongchang chuckled and continued, "I wonder if you are interested in miniaturizing the fusion reactor?"

"Of course, if you don't want to participate in this research project, I won't force you to stay. After signing the confidentiality agreement, someone will naturally send you away."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an exclamation!

"What?!"

"Fusion reactor miniaturization technology? Isn't this a little too advanced?!"

"Is this really possible?!"

Unlike others who looked surprised, Fang Xu asked calmly: "Yongchang, how confident are you with this technology?"

Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Compared with controllable nuclear fusion, I only have a clue about miniaturization technology, and it is definitely more difficult."

"About 80% sure!"

Fang Xu's pupils shrank suddenly.

Despite his character, he couldn't help but exclaim at this moment: "80%?!"

"Are you sure you're right?!"

You know, for things like scientific research, let alone 80%, the success rate of most scientific research projects is 20%, which is considered good!

Fang Xu even felt that Lu Yongchang in front of him had misinterpreted the success rate and failure rate!

After all, in Fang Xu's expectation, as long as the success rate of this project is 20%, it is worth a try!

Facing Fang Xu's surprise, Lv Yongchang glanced at him speechlessly, muttering to himself: "What a fuss..."

"80% success rate is already low enough... When I was working on Pangu No. 1, I was 99% sure!"

Fang Xu: "...???"

He shook his head with a wry smile.

I really don't know whether Lv Yongchang is too confident or he doesn't have a full understanding of Lv Yongchang's strength...

"I... I'll participate!"

"I'll participate too!"

"How can I miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I'll participate too!"

"That's right, when the time comes, I'll say that I'm also a researcher who has participated in two world-class scientific research tasks!"

Just when Fang Xu was still doubting his life, the researchers on the side had already expressed their attitudes.

"Brother Xu, what do you say?" Lv Yongchang smiled and looked at Fang Xu beside him, "Have you thought about it?"

Fang Xu's expression was slightly stern, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Of course!"

"How can I be left out of such a good thing!"

...

Just as Lv Yongchang led everyone to prepare to move into the Daxiawan Nuclear Physics Laboratory, a paper was quietly published in the latest issue of "Nature".

"On the Abnormal Performance of the Sun in the Last Month"

With the publication of this paper, the Hubble Telescope in space slowly turned its direction and projected towards the sun!
