All the resources were spent cultivating Ai Jincheng, with the intention of making him Chen Lao's successor.
But all the hopes and dreams I had were shattered.
Chen Shi was already eighty years old, and even in his advanced age, his decaying body still managed matters large and small.
It was really hard work.
The two elderly people were gazing at each other, sighing with emotion.
The phone rang.
······
"Hello, Mr. Zhong."
Jiang Cheng's voice came through the phone.
The moment I heard his voice.
The academician couldn't help but feel a slight ripple in his heart.
The only thing that has brought Zhong Yingzhe solace in recent years is having Jiang Cheng as his successor.
He will probably be able to soar to great heights and assume important responsibilities soon.
However, this phone call made Professor Zhong think that he had changed his mind about the scientific research summit.
After all, going there would mean getting criticized, especially in front of the whole world and major media outlets.
A hot-blooded young man might not be able to handle such a blow.
So he asked anxiously.
"Xiaocheng, you're not going to desert your post, are you?"
As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Old Chen, whose face looked embarrassed.
"No, Professor Zhong, do you know anyone at the Energy Science and Technology Institute?"
"I know him," the academician thought with a puzzled look in his mind.
The top leader of the Academy of Sciences was standing right next to him; how could he say he didn't recognize him?
"I've been working on a new project for over a month now, and it's almost finished. Could you contact someone there to help me with the final test?"
"A new topic???"
While the two were talking, Chen Shi also pricked up his ears to listen; he knew Jiang Cheng.
Although I've never met him, I know he's a young prodigy.
Like Ai Jincheng back then, he was a person of extraordinary talent.
"Yes, a new research topic: controlled nuclear fusion!"
He had barely finished speaking.
The expression on Zhong Lao's face froze instantly!
The wrinkles on his brows had not yet smoothed out.
He certainly knew what controlled nuclear fusion research entailed.
Something many times heavier than gene therapy drugs!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Chen Shi and Zhong Lao were stunned when they heard those five words.
He couldn't even speak.
They felt their minds go completely blank.
For quite a while.
"You mean... you've independently researched controlled nuclear fusion?"
"right!"
"And all that's left is the final test?"
"Yes, the carrier assembly is complete; only the placement of the nuclear materials remains."
"!!!!"
Old Zhong's heart skipped a beat!
Academician Chen's heart skipped a beat!
The two elderly people narrowly escaped a heart attack!
What does controlled nuclear fusion mean? And what does it mean that our independent research is about to be tested?
A storm raged in their hearts!
Chen Shi threw away his cane and took three steps forward to snatch the phone!
Those nimble movements made him look nothing like an eighty-year-old man!
"Jiang Cheng!! You absolutely, positively must not conduct the test! I'm taking researchers and armed forces to Lanjing immediately! If we proceed rashly, the entire Lanjing will be razed to the ground!"
The Institute of Biotechnology presents a magnificent sight.
Two elderly people, whose combined age is 150, rushed out of the office like madmen!
"Top-level incident!! Prepare a special plane!! I need to be in Lanjing within four hours!!"
Today, China is destined to witness a scientific research storm!
