"No! I object!"
A piercing sound rang out in the conference room.
Jiang Yongxing turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
Upon seeing the speaker, Jiang Yongxing's pupils contracted slightly.
It's him!
"Mao Jinquan, what do you mean by that?"
Jiang Yongxing frowned and asked.
Mao Jinquan scoffed, "What do you mean by that? Don't you understand?"
"This is a complete scam! A second-year undergraduate student could write a proposal of this caliber? My dear dean, can you please use your brain and think this is even possible?"
"To be honest, he's just a young man trying to attract attention!"
"In my opinion, the most important thing to do now is not to report it, but to expose this attention-seeking brat! Our Sandaokou University does not welcome students who try to take shortcuts!"
Jiang Yongxing frowned even more deeply.
“Vice Dean Mao, I’m not saying whether this is possible or not. As researchers, we should be realistic.”
"Tell me, what flaws did you find in this plan?"
Mao Jinquan's expression changed slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "A loophole?"
"Isn't this flaw obvious enough?"
"Where does a sophomore acquire this knowledge?"
"What's more, I've also seen the derivation process of that new material. Just a few strokes and a new material appears on the tip of the pen? Are you kidding me!"
"Where's the experimental data? What's the difference between a plan without experimental data and a fantasy?!"
Mao Jinquan's words resonated with many of the professors present.
Yes, this plan seems perfect, but its biggest flaw is that it lacks any experimental data to support it!
To put it bluntly, this plan is just empty talk!
Jiang Yongxing sneered; he was already quite annoyed!
In his opinion, this was simply arguing for the sake of arguing!
"Vice Dean Mao! Tell me, where is a second-year undergraduate student supposed to go to conduct experiments and collect data?!"
"As a researcher, you should never say the word 'impossible'!"
Fang Xu, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and stood up to ask, "Vice Dean Mao, you just said that this plan lacks experimental data?"
Mao Jinquan nodded naturally.
As the vice dean of the School of Nuclear Physics, he believed he had the right to question the proposal written by this mere undergraduate!
Fang Xu sneered: "Do you know that this plan is even more perfect than the plan in my nuclear physics laboratory?!"
"Do you know how many experiments were conducted to arrive at the solution from the physics lab?"
"You know nothing, all you do is say impossible! As a vice dean, I see not a single trace of scientific research spirit in you!"
Fang Xu showed Mao Jinquan no mercy whatsoever.
After all, Fang Xu, as the head of the nuclear physics laboratory, was not under Mao Jinquan's jurisdiction!
Mao Jinquan looked at Jiang Yongxing with a grim expression: "Dean Jiang, you..."
"Why!"
Jiang Yongxing sighed softly and waved his hand to interrupt Mao Jinquan before he could finish speaking.
"Alright, Vice Dean Mao, I see you're tired. Go home and rest for a while. You don't need to worry about the college's affairs for now."
Mao Jinquan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He stared at Jiang Yongxing in disbelief, then laughed angrily, "Dean Jiang? You're going to lay a hand on me, the vice dean, for the sake of a sophomore undergraduate?"
Upon hearing this, the disappointment in Jiang Yongxing's eyes deepened.
He slowly shook his head: "Mao Jinquan, I didn't lay a hand on you because of a sophomore undergraduate."
"I did it for scientific research, for the future of the Xia Kingdom!"
"Yes, this plan has no supporting data. But tell me, if this plan is true, how much will our Sandaokou University... no, our Xia Kingdom, suffer according to your proposed solution?!"
Mao Jinquan's face grew increasingly grim. He nodded indignantly, turned and left his seat, heading towards the conference room door.
"Hmph! I'd like to see if you can solve the controlled nuclear fusion problem with this sophomore undergraduate!"
After uttering a harsh remark, Mao Jinquan reached out and opened the conference room door, then walked out.
"Bang!"
A dull thud was heard as the conference room door closed.
Jiang Yongxing shook his head with a wry smile: "Fang Xu, you've made a fool of yourself in front of everyone..."
Fang Xu shook his head thoughtfully and said, "Old Jiang, it's time to really reorganize your nuclear physics department. The vice dean isn't even thinking about doing research anymore. This is unacceptable!"
Jiang Yongxing remained silent for a moment, then nodded and turned his gaze to the group of professors and researchers below the stage.
Seeing Jiang Yongxing's meaningful look, all the professors and researchers lowered their heads and bury their heads in the sand like ostriches.
Some of the more senior professors felt a slight chill run down their spines.
It seems the School of Nuclear Physics is about to stir up quite a storm!
"Alright, I'm sure everyone has read this plan by now, right?"
"If you have any doubts, feel free to speak up."
A few minutes later, Jiang Yongxing, who had not received a response, chuckled and said, "Since no one has any doubts, let's start the vote now."
"The topic of the vote is, of course, whether or not this plan needs to be submitted to the parliament."
...
An hour later.
Jiang Yongxing led Fang Xu into his office.
He walked straight to the desk, picked up the microphone from the landline phone, and pressed a special button.
A few seconds later, a voice came through the microphone.
"Professor Jiang, how can I help you?"
"Could you please connect me to the Xia Kingdom Parliament? I have a report to make regarding controlled nuclear fusion."
"...Okay, just a moment!"
"..."
The wait was short, and a steady male voice came from the microphone.
"Dean Jiang, hello. I am Hong Qiming, Minister of Science and Technology of Xia Guo."
Jiang Yongxing's eyes flickered slightly.
It was actually Minister of Science and Technology Hung Chi-ming who answered the phone!
It seems that controlled nuclear fusion is becoming increasingly important in the eyes of the Xia Kingdom's top leadership!
"Minister Hong, hello, I need to report something to you..."
Jiang Yongxing recounted the entire incident in its entirety.
"Dean Jiang, are you serious? A second-year undergraduate student wrote down a highly feasible controlled nuclear fusion plan on the blackboard?"
Jiang Yongxing gave a wry smile and turned to look at Fang Xu beside him.
He had anticipated this situation, which is why he specifically brought Fang Xu along!
Fang Xu quickly stepped forward and took the phone from Jiang Yongxing: "Minister Hong, this is Fang Xu."
"...That's right, it's true!"
"I can guarantee that this plan is highly feasible!"
"good!"
Fang Xu put the landline receiver back in its place and hung up the phone.
"How so?"
Jiang Yongxing looked at Fang Xu with an anxious expression.
Fang Xu said with a solemn expression, "Minister Hong said that this matter is of great importance and he needs to report to the First Speaker of the Council!"
