A grand blueprint was displayed on a huge screen.
It is magnificent and awe-inspiring to behold even with the naked eye.
Inside the meeting room, Chen Shi, slightly excited, recounted the plan sent by the leader to Jiang Cheng.
"China is already working on building a controllable nuclear fusion base station. We want to expand the tokamak device and then create an ecosystem around it."
"It may be located in the northwest and plains of our country, but the exact location is still being selected."
"This top-secret construction project will likely be carried out simultaneously by both parties and will be completed within a year and a half, with an estimated investment of tens of billions."
"At that time, once we achieve the utilization of resources through controlled nuclear fusion, we will have clean resources."
Jiang Cheng looked at the architectural model, which resembled a roc about to take flight, and nodded.
The other researchers in the conference room also looked excited.
They all know that currently only 20% of the Earth's renewable resources are available for future use.
The trend in energy utilization must be toward nuclear fusion.
Countries around the world are eager to develop new technologies to escape the potential predicament of resource shortages.
This is especially true of the United States.
As a resource-rich country, it holds the energy lifeline of many nations and desires to be subservient to all.
Their top brass are probably still gloating, discussing how to negotiate a deal that gives them the upper hand after restricting resources.
Chen Shi suddenly leaned close and whispered, "I heard from the leaders that the United States is already negotiating with us. The diplomats are very arrogant. We've kept the news well under wraps and are just waiting to give them a good slap in the face at the scientific research summit."
Jiang Cheng was puzzled for a moment.
"Has the news of controlled nuclear fusion not been announced to the country yet?"
Old Chen smiled.
Most researchers are not very shrewd, and they are far less adept at playing power games, since all their energy is focused on research projects.
He didn't keep Jiang Cheng in suspense and spoke frankly about it.
“It’s impossible to tell anyone. A gentleman is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. I’m afraid others will covet and spy on me,” Chen Shi said while tidying up the documents on the table. “The G10 meeting is attracting worldwide attention. Playing dumb to take advantage of the situation is the real way to use public opinion to its fullest extent.”
For more than a month, the United States has been using media and public opinion to put pressure on China.
Now, it's time for a desperate counterattack.
This is also a manifestation of political maneuvering. One must be patient. Even if the sword in its sheath is ringing, it should only reveal its cold glint when it is hanging over one's neck!
"Team Leader Jiang, you have many things to do in Kyoto."
Chen Shi took out a document, placed it on the table, and then took out the pen he always carried with him from his pocket.
Jiang Cheng's gaze fell on the document, he picked it up, and opened it.
New Era Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project
"This is?"
"The leadership intends to make you the chief engineer, and the main building on the base station will be named after you."
These words shocked everyone in the room.
The researchers below looked at each other.
They could see the immense shock in each other's eyes.
What an honor that is!
Even world-renowned buildings like the Elevator Superconducting Tokamak are not named after engineers.
Only senior researchers, like the eternally renowned Qian Xuesen, can enjoy such treatment!
"But I have no experience as an engineer..." Jiang Cheng was taken aback and tried to refuse.
This made him feel somewhat flattered.
"It's just a matter of having Team Leader Jiang put his name on the project; all the details will be handled by specialized personnel. You can just sign your name."
Jiang Cheng's gaze shifted from the smiling face of Old Chen to the last page of the document.
Signature area.
He took a deep breath.
Signing his name means that, no matter what, his achievements will be recorded by future generations.
He will leave a significant mark on the historical records of China.
Later generations pointed to the main building of the controlled nuclear fusion base station.
They might say, "This building is named after a great scientist."
Jiang Cheng gripped the cold pen and, stroke by stroke, signed his name on the document.
······
Chen Shi and he had just walked out of the corridor when they were discussing the details of expanding the tokamak.
A figure flashed over and appeared in front of them.
Jiang Cheng was startled, but after regaining his senses, he examined the area carefully.
Standing before him was a very beautiful Eastern woman.
She has an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, and bright red lips.
She had her hair tied in a high ponytail and a slightly ingratiating smile on her face.
"Team Leader Jiang, it's been a long time."
"Yiran? What brings you here?"
Before Jiang Cheng could answer, Old Chen asked in confusion.
The person who suddenly appeared in the corridor was none other than Shen Yiran, a senior professor at the Institute of Biotechnology!
"I... need to speak with Jiang about something."
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, slightly embarrassed.
Logically speaking, there's no reason for her to be here.
Because the people who came to greet us were either members involved in the gene reagent project or members of the controlled nuclear fusion team.
As for Shen Yiran, she had a quarrel with Jiang Cheng from the very beginning and refused to accept being assigned to a different position.
They've broken free from the gene reagent program!
From the development of gene reagents to their market launch, they have achieved tremendous success and have been widely praised by the people.
They have indeed made some achievements.
Shen Yiran was filled with deep regret!
She clearly had the opportunity to be recorded in history, to participate in such a great scientific research project, but she missed that opportunity because of her willfulness...
