Standing by the glass corridor at the edge of the conference room's dome, Rush, holding a glass of red wine, looked down with a wicked smile on his lips.
"The show is about to begin."
······
Jiang Cheng suddenly lifted the black cloth, revealing a device made of the world's highest melting point alloy.
The tokamak device has a cold and heavy color, and its precision is the highest on Earth.
It is so dazzling under the bright lights, reflecting the light and having a very glossy surface.
Its technological feel is out of step with the times.
Controlled nuclear fusion was something that was supposed to be achieved only in the next few decades, but the emergence of Jiangcheng accelerated this process!
The reporters stared wide-eyed at the supporting device. Although they didn't know what it was, they were still amazed by its appearance.
The photographer even forgot to take pictures. After being stunned for a long time, he hurriedly came to his senses and the "click-click" of the shutter sounded.
Ai Jincheng's gaze fell on the instrument, and his mind went completely blank.
He never expected that China would have a second scientific and technological achievement shortlisted for the summit.
This is completely different from what they originally planned! Something unexpected has happened!
"Professor Jiang, could you please explain the function of this instrument?"
Some whispered among themselves, while others murmured amongst themselves.
After a brief discussion, it was finally the female reporter who mustered up the courage to ask.
Not only did she not understand it, but the researchers didn't understand it either. They only felt that the instrument was unfathomable, but they didn't know what it was used for.
Chen Shi and Zhong Yingzhe stared at him, and Jiang Cheng smiled.
His clear voice resounded throughout the hall.
"Continuing from what I just said, this instrument is, of course, related to the energy issue. I have the courage to say that China does not need new energy technologies, and this is not unfounded. Because we now have cleaner resources! It is no exaggeration to say that a new era begins with this device next to me."
His words left many researchers with solemn expressions.
Professor Mallory, a top figure in the United States, froze the moment his gaze fell upon the tokamak.
As if realizing something, he abruptly stood up a few seconds later, exclaiming, "This is a controlled nuclear fusion device!!!"
His eyes were bloodshot!
Ignoring all pretense of appearance, he got up and strode over from the American section, his face growing increasingly horrified as he wanted to get a closer look!
This discovery of controlled nuclear fusion immediately awakened all the researchers.
The research hall immediately erupted in chaos! Countless seated scholars stood up, craning their necks to observe, and some even asked their assistants for high-powered microscopes to examine the area!
Professor Mallory certainly recognized it; the United States had been researching this project for over a decade! Without any progress, it was classified as top secret!
Only a professor of his stature had ever been exposed to the theory of tokamak devices!
The prototype design bears some resemblance to the one next to Jiang Cheng.
Of course, the difference is huge!
It will probably be another 30 to 50 years before they have a chance to realize it!
"This is our second research project, the only device on Earth that can convert the energy of nuclear fusion into usable electrical energy—the tokamak!"
Jiang Cheng smiled confidently at everyone in the venue.
It's also a message to the whole world!
What he said next was even more chilling.
"Furthermore, we have conducted experiments and succeeded! We have become the first country to achieve controlled nuclear fusion! A new era has begun from this point onward, and the future trend of energy will be a complete shift from thermal power generation to nuclear power generation!"
Everyone in the entire hall felt a chill run down their spine; some even got goosebumps.
A new era!
What a magnificent term.
This signifies that human civilization has once again shone brightly, taking another step forward on the ladder of progress.
If what Jiang Cheng said is true, then new energy technologies are nothing!
Because it was broadcast live globally, not many people besides Professor Chen and the research team knew about the existence of this device.
Leaders of other countries received the news immediately!
The top leaders of the United States convened a high-level meeting almost three minutes later to discuss policy!
The leader then stood up from the sofa and said calmly, "Within 24 hours, countries all over the world will come to negotiate with China. Notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare for their reception. Also, impose a state of emergency at the highest level and monitor all movements of foreign enemies to prevent them from having any ulterior motives."
The moment Jiang Cheng's face appeared alongside the tokamak device.
From that moment on, only one country has the final say in global energy affairs.
That is China!
Looking at Jiang Cheng's confident smile, Ai Jincheng's mind went blank. He murmured in disbelief, "How is this possible?!"
The performance continued.
Several reporters were thrilled. They were on the front lines of the new era, witnessing firsthand the most advanced technology on Earth. How could they not be excited?
"May I ask which professor developed this device? Was it Professor Chen Shi?"
"About two months ago, I had the idea of entering the energy field, so I independently researched the device, applied to my superiors, and then conducted experiments."
The reporter was taken aback, her mind not quite processing it. She clearly remembered that the other person was a professor of biotechnology from China.
"Professor Jiang is saying that you developed the tokamak device."
