Sandaokou University, Nuclear Physics Laboratory.
"Bang!"
A loud bang came from the deepest office.
Several researchers trembled slightly, stopped what they were doing, and looked up at the office at the far end.
"What's wrong with Academician Fang?"
A researcher, his eyes filled with doubt, asked the person next to him in a low voice.
The researcher being questioned slowly shook his head, his face also filled with confusion.
"I don't know, our recent experiments haven't failed... why did Academician Fang suddenly lose his temper?"
Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the door to the deepest office was suddenly pulled open.
Fang Xu walked out of the office with a flushed face.
"Damn it! How could ITER do this?!"
The laboratory was quiet, and Fang Xu's self-talk was particularly clear.
The researcher who had just spoken mustered his courage and asked Fang Xu in a low voice, "Academician Fang, what's wrong with ITER?"
Upon hearing the question, Fang Xu abruptly raised his head, glanced at the researcher who had asked the question, and then said with a somewhat grim expression, "ITER says... that scientists from our Xia country copied experimental data without authorization and took it out of the laboratory!"
Wow!
As soon as Fang Xu said this, the nuclear physics laboratory erupted in an uproar!
"Academician Fang, is this...is this real?!"
Hearing his researchers press him for an answer, Fang Xu's expression grew even more grim. He shook his head vigorously and said, "Of course not!"
"The scientists sent by my Xia Kingdom are all upright and honest gentlemen! Not only are their scientific research skills superb, but their character is also first-rate!"
"They would never do something so...so shameful!"
"Then... how does ITER plan to handle this?" a researcher asked nervously.
It's important to understand that this kind of behavior is an inviolable bottom line in every research institution!
Let alone an international organization like ITER, even an ordinary private laboratory would pay an extremely heavy price if caught stealing data like this!
A hint of pain flashed in Fang Xu's eyes.
The next moment, he slowly closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "Xia Kingdom announces... its voluntary withdrawal from the ITER project."
As soon as Fang Xu uttered those words, the murmurs in the nuclear physics laboratory instantly subsided.
Every researcher looked at Fang Xu with an incredulous expression.
"This news... was just announced this morning," Fang Xu said with some difficulty. "Everyone, from now on we will need to take up the mantle of controlled nuclear fusion research ourselves."
Suddenly, Fang Xu's eyes flickered slightly.
"Everyone, halt your current research tasks and focus all your efforts on developing a new type of material!"
As he spoke, Fang Xu turned on a computer in the lab and downloaded the photo of Lü Yongchang's "blackboard writing" to the computer.
...
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Sandaokou University.
A black Audi A6 slowly passed through the security booth and drove into Sandaokou University.
Without stopping, the Audi A6 drove straight toward the nuclear physics laboratory.
...
"Knock knock knock!"
Lu Yongchang stood anxiously at the door of an office and knocked on the door.
"The door's unlocked, come in."
Professor Guan Hualiang's voice came from inside the office.
Lü Yongchang quickly turned the doorknob and pushed open the door.
"It's you..."
Upon seeing the visitor, Professor Guan Hualiang was slightly taken aback.
He quickly put down his pen, stood up, and went to greet Lü Yongchang: "What's wrong, Yongchang? Is there something you need?"
Since attending yesterday's academy-wide meeting, Guan Hualiang has regarded Lü Yongchang as a scholar who is "on equal footing" with him!
This "equal footing" refers to academic standing.
In fact, Guan Hualiang believed that although Lü Yongchang was only a sophomore, his academic standing was far higher than his own!
After all, Guan Hualiang considered himself just an ordinary university professor, but Lü Yongchang was very likely to be a rising star in the academic world who would achieve controlled nuclear fusion!
Lu Yongchang didn't notice Guan Hualiang getting up to greet him. His expression was slightly unpleasant as he said, "Professor Guan, did you see that news?"
Guan Hualiang paused abruptly, his expression slightly somber: "You mean... about ITER?"
Lü Yongchang nodded slightly.
Guan Hualiang took a deep breath and waved to Lü Yongchang: "Yongchang, please sit down."
Seeing Lü Yongchang sitting in the chair, he slowly sat down as well and said, "Yongchang, I believe that scientists from our Xia Kingdom would not do such a thing!"
"I believe there must be some unknown secrets behind this incident!"
Lü Yongchang's eyes flickered slightly.
As a reborn person, he certainly knew that Guan Hualiang's speculation was completely correct!
But... given his current status, he cannot reveal the truth to the public!
Lü Yongchang could even imagine that the Xia Kingdom's top leadership would be unable to reveal the truth!
All the humiliation will fall on the heads of those scientists.
In everyone's eyes, the scientist who performed the "data copying" operation was the culprit!
It wasn't until more than a decade later that their "crimes" were completely washed away!
But... it was too late!
Thinking of this, Lü Yongchang clenched his fists tightly.
"Professor, how were the results of yesterday's review?"
After a moment of silence, Lü Yongchang changed the subject.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist revealing the truth he knew!
Upon hearing Lü Yongchang's question, a faint smile appeared on Guan Hualiang's face.
You're still young after all... You couldn't help but ask after just one night.
He chuckled and said, "After you left yesterday, Dean Jiang and Dean Tian proposed holding a meeting for the entire institute."
Lü Yongchang's expression remained normal.
A hospital-wide meeting?
As expected!
He didn't think that just a few professors could fully understand this plan!
"You don't seem surprised at all?" A hint of astonishment flashed in Guan Hualiang's eyes.
Could it be that the young man in front of me had already foreseen this outcome?
Lu Yongchang nodded calmly: "Of course I'm not surprised. After all, Dean Tian isn't a scholar specializing in controlled nuclear fusion, so it's normal that he's unsure!"
Guan Hualiang looked at Lü Yongchang with a strange expression.
Although he knew that what Lü Yongchang said was true, the sight of a young man in his early twenties talking eloquently about the research areas of several professors was really somewhat surreal!
But ironically... this young man has the right to talk about it!
"Ahem! What if I told you that the entire academy approved your proposal, and that your proposal was submitted to the Xia Kingdom Parliament? Would you be surprised?"
Lü Yongchang's pupils suddenly contracted!
So fast?!
So it's been reported to the Xia Kingdom's parliament already?!
