Leaving aside how much Fang Xu was shocked by Speaker Lee's words.
At least, Lü Yongchang truly witnessed the charisma of this Xia Kingdom's Speaker!
Let's do it!
We can always start over from scratch!
"Professor Lü, I'm entrusting the fate of the nation to you!" The Speaker of Parliament looked at Lü Yongchang meaningfully and said slowly, "Don't let me down!"
Lu Yongchang nodded vigorously, his face serious.
"When do you plan to begin research on the spaceplane project?"
Upon hearing the Speaker's question, Lü Yongchang frowned slightly.
Although several construction teams are currently working near the nuclear physics labs, the complete construction of these labs will take time...
Conservatively speaking, it will take at least another month.
A month-long gap was something Lü Yongchang simply couldn't accept!
After a moment's hesitation, Lü Yongchang spoke: "Speaker of Parliament, the highest-level aerospace laboratory in Xia Kingdom..."
Before Lü Yongchang could finish speaking, the council speaker raised an eyebrow and interrupted him.
"The National Space Research Institute of Xia State, the Long March 10 carrier rocket mission is being carried out over there, is that enough?"
Lu Yongchang was slightly taken aback, then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's enough!"
"Well... Speaker of the council, I'll report there tomorrow!"
Upon hearing Lü Yongchang's words, Fang Xu immediately became anxious.
Ignoring the fact that Lü Yongchang was still speaking with the councilor, he grabbed Lü Yongchang's arm and whispered, "Are you crazy?!"
"The miniaturization of fusion reactors is not yet fully complete!"
Lu Yongchang was stunned again, then turned his head to look at the test machine that was "shutting down" in the center of the field.
The next second, he took a deep breath and looked at Fang Xu beside him with a serious expression.
"Brother Xu!"
"This arduous task is entrusted to you!"
Fang Xu: "..."
"ha??!"
"Aren't you the chief engineer?!"
Fang Xu felt as if a million alpacas were stampeding through his heart!
How did this fusion reactor miniaturization task suddenly fall to him?!
But clearly, Lü Yongchang didn't pay attention to Fang Xu's words, casually waved his hand, and followed the councilor out.
Fang Xu could vaguely hear their conversation.
"Yongchang, why don't you finish this fusion reactor miniaturization project first?" The councilor's voice was somewhat uneasy. "Is Fang Xu alright?"
"Hey, it's alright! Speaker, don't worry!"
Lu Yongchang said casually, "I know Fang Xu's abilities."
"The most important parts of this fusion reactor are complete. All that's left is to put a shell on it!"
"It's very simple! I trust Brother Xu!"
Fang Xu: "..."
He slowly turned his head and glanced at the testing machine.
The matching generator hasn't been designed yet, and the cooling system is also inadequate...
This is what you call putting a shell on?!
Blanch!
Fang Xu couldn't help but curse under his breath!
...
Su State.
Emperor Putin sat behind his desk, looking at the documents in front of him, a thoughtful expression flashing across his face.
There have been so many things happening internationally in the past six months.
First, the neighboring Xia Kingdom was framed and withdrew from the ITER project.
Subsequently, in just a few months, Xia Guo actually overtook other countries and mastered controlled nuclear fusion technology before any other country!
Looking at the data on the Pangu No. 1 fusion reactor released by the official Xia Kingdom government, Emperor Jingpu was getting restless!
The State of Su is different from the State of Xia. Although it has a developed heavy industry, it does not have a large population.
He estimated that two fusion reactors of Pangu-1 size would be enough to completely meet all of the Soviet Union's energy needs!
This is a huge opportunity for the Soviet Union!
Apart from the petroleum raw materials needed for industrial production, the Soviet Union, with its controllable nuclear fusion, could completely abandon inferior energy sources such as oil and natural gas!
The Soviet Union, whose economic conditions were already poor, could save a lot of expenses!
"Someone come here!"
The more Emperor Jingpu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he shouted loudly towards the office door.
The next second, the office door opened, and a burly man looked at President Putin with respect: "Your Excellency, what are your orders?"
"Tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that I need to go to Xia Kingdom in a couple of days!"
"King Putin said in an unquestionable tone."
...
That evening, at Xia Guo's First Laboratory.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock on Lü Yongchang's office door.
Lu Yongchang, who was engrossed in preparing for the spaceplane project, was startled when he heard a knock on the door.
He subconsciously turned his head to glance at the wall clock.
21:50 at night.
Who would come here so late?
"The door's unlocked, come in!"
"Squeak..."
The office doorknob was turned.
Seeing the figure standing outside the door, Lü Yongchang quickly stood up to greet him, saying, "Minister Hong? Why have you come in person?!"
Hong Qiming waved his hand helplessly and walked into the office with a wry smile.
"Stop talking! Ever since that damn sun thing went wrong, this old man hasn't been to bed before midnight!"
Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes.
"Did Minister Hong come to me today to complain?"
As he spoke, Lü Yongchang got up and made Hong Qiming a cup of tea: "Authentic West Lake Longjing tea. This was brought to me by the researchers down below. I usually can't bear to drink it!"
Hong Qiming reached out, picked up the teacup, and took a gentle sniff.
"Wow! It smells pretty good!"
"You little rascal, you're so young and already accepting gifts?"
Hong Qiming looked at Lü Yongchang with a half-smile: "Although I am the Minister of Science and Technology, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say these things in front of me?"
Lu Yongchang touched his nose helplessly: "Minister Hong, you can't say that!"
"I bought this from him at market price. If you're not going to drink it, don't waste my tea!"
Hong Qiming chuckled, took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I won't waste any more words!"
"I've come here to ask a question on behalf of the Speaker of the Council!"
Lu Yongchang quickly put down his teacup and straightened his expression: "Minister Hong, please speak!"
"Emperor Jingpu of the Su Kingdom will be visiting the Xia Kingdom in half a month," Hong Qiming said meaningfully. "The news hasn't spread yet."
"Guess why?"
Lu Yongchang's brows furrowed instantly.
Emperor Su Jingpu?
Why is he suddenly coming to Xia Kingdom?
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into Lü Yongchang's mind!
"Controlled nuclear fusion?"
Lu Yongchang asked in a low voice.
"Smack!"
Minister Hong snapped his fingers approvingly: "Not bad. According to the intelligence from the Second Security Bureau of Xia State, Emperor Jingpu is very interested in the Pangu Fusion Reactor."
