After a moment of thought, Lü Yongchang suddenly realized.
Indeed, controlled nuclear fusion held an irreplaceable appeal for the Soviet Union.
After all, the Soviet Union had been building a large number of nuclear fission power plants since the last century.
"What did the councilor ask you to ask me?"
Upon hearing Lü Yongchang's question, Hong Qiming's eyes flashed with an ambiguous light, and he replied softly, "The Speaker asked me to ask you how Xia Kingdom should handle this matter."
Lu Yongchang's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously said, "Minister Hong, I don't want to get involved in this kind of politics..."
Hong Qiming was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "I misspoke."
"What the Speaker means is, how should Xia Kingdom handle controlled nuclear fusion technology?"
Lü Yongchang suddenly realized.
So that's what you were asking!
He replied without hesitation, "Of course, we'll take it out!"
Hong Qiming's brows furrowed instantly.
"Take it out?"
"Why?"
It's worth noting that the Speaker and a group of members of parliament held a meeting for several hours over this matter!
It can be said that almost every member of parliament advocated that Xia should keep the controlled nuclear fusion technology in its own hands!
The reason for asking Lü Yongchang this time is to go through a certain procedure.
After all, as the first director of the Space Administration, Lü Yongchang had a great deal of say in such matters!
Originally, Hong Qiming believed that Lü Yongchang was the least likely person to agree to the outflow of nuclear fusion technology!
This is the culmination of his hard work and dedication!
Having served as Minister of Science and Technology for so long, this is the first time Hung Chi-ming has ever seen a scientist willing to hand over the results of their hard work to someone else!
Perhaps because of the dim lighting, Lü Yongchang did not notice the expression on Hong Qiming's face at this moment.
He continued, "Minister Hong, facing the impending disaster, it is impossible for Xia Kingdom to survive alone."
"We need some reliable allies."
"From any perspective, the Soviet Union is a target we must strive to win over!"
Hong Qiming's expression relaxed slightly.
Lu Yongchang's statement was also mentioned by other members of parliament at the meeting.
but……
“Then why not wait a few more years?” Hong Qiming said in a low voice. “Yongchang, Xia Kingdom is currently in a stage of rapid development.”
"As long as we master nuclear fusion technology, Xia Kingdom can completely turn its fortunes around in just three years!"
Lü Yongchang slowly shook his head.
"It's too late."
"It is estimated that in another year or two, everyone will know about the changes in the sun."
Hong Qiming's pupils suddenly contracted!
"So fast!?"
Lu Yongchang nodded slightly: "Don't forget, it was a laboratory in the United States that first discovered the anomaly in the sun."
These words instantly enlightened Hong Qiming.
A bitter look appeared on his face: "It seems that... Xia Kingdom's current measures are still too conservative."
As he spoke, Hung Chi-ming briefly explained to Lu Yung-chang the resource bans issued by the Speaker of Parliament.
After listening, Lü Yongchang fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Minister Hong, I have an idea..."
...
the next day.
At the entrance of the Xia Guo National Space Research Institute.
Three armed helicopters painted in military green slowly landed.
As the first director of the Xia Kingdom Space Agency and the hope for the future of Xia Kingdom, Lü Yongchang's personal safety is of utmost importance at this moment!
You might not be able to feel it in the laboratory.
However, once he went out, Lü Yongchang fully realized the importance the Speaker placed on his safety.
Three fully armed attack helicopters are considered a minor incident.
According to Hung Chi-ming, if it weren't for the fact that helicopters are too slow, the legislator would have loved to send a few J-20 fighter jets to escort them.
This is still inland China!
Lu Yongchang had no doubt that if he ever needed to go abroad, the Xia Kingdom would even send an aircraft carrier fleet to escort him!
Once the helicopter came to a stop, Lü Yongchang jumped off the deck of the middle helicopter.
Looking at the wide-open doors of the National Space Research Institute, a hint of excitement flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes.
Here, he will lead the Xia Kingdom to take its first step toward the stars and the sea!
...
Upon entering the laboratory, Lü Yongchang immediately noticed the difference between the National Space Laboratory and other laboratories.
Inside the laboratory, researchers wearing white lab coats can be seen everywhere.
Every researcher's face was filled with tension and solemnity.
This is completely different from the laboratories at Sandaokou University!
However, upon further reflection, Lü Yongchang realized that it was indeed normal!
This is, after all, the place where the Xia Kingdom researches the Long March 10 heavy-lift carrier rocket!
"Professor Lü, hello!"
Just as Lü Yongchang was standing at the door watching the researchers busy at work, a somewhat hoarse voice came from the side.
He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A middle-aged man with graying temples and thick gold-rimmed glasses was looking at him apologetically.
"Professor Lü, I'm so sorry, we just received orders from above yesterday, and we're still organizing the experimental equipment. We didn't have time to pick you up right away..."
Lu Yongchang's lips twitched, revealing a kind smile: "It's alright, it's alright."
"If I remember correctly, you must be Academician Cao Liangcai, right?"
A strange light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Professor Lü, do you know me?"
Lu Yongchang's lips twitched slightly, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've seen your name in my university textbooks."
Cao Liangcai: "..."
He suddenly realized that, in terms of status, the young man in front of him, who was several levels above him, was still a sophomore in college!
Cao Liangcai wiped the sweat from his forehead with an embarrassed expression, silently complaining about the inefficiency of Sandaokou University.
He'll definitely call and ask that guy Jiang Yongxing another day!
Is it really that hard to get a graduation certificate?
"Ahem!" Cao Liangcai coughed forcefully, trying to change the subject to ease the awkward atmosphere. "Let me introduce myself. I am Cao Liangcai, an academician of the Xia Kingdom Academy of Sciences, and currently serve as the director of the Xia Kingdom National Aerospace Research Institute."
As he spoke, Cao Liangcai extended his right hand toward Lü Yongchang.
Seeing this, Lü Yongchang quickly stretched out his right hand and firmly grasped Cao Liangcai's calloused right hand!
"Academician Cao, could you please help me gather the researchers in the institute?" Lü Yongchang said in a deep voice. "I need to hold a meeting first to assign the tasks for the next stage."
Cao Liangcai readily agreed.
Of course, he didn't dare to disagree.
Just last night, he received orders from his superiors.
The command is very simple, consisting of only one sentence.
I will unconditionally obey any arrangements made by Professor Lü Yongchang!
