447: Mutation! Financial War!

To reward these meritorious officials of Dragon Country, the government has decided to award the 'Light of Fusion' prize!

As soon as the Leader finished speaking.

Inside the entire Great Hall, thunderous applause erupted.

This kind of thing did not exceed most people's expectations.

After all, that was Controlled nuclear fusion!

In terms of importance and significance, it was completely on par with the combined significance of "Two Bombs, One Satellite"!

Even considering its future economic significance, it would exceed that!

Holding a dedicated awards ceremony was a very normal thing.

The conference had a dedicated live broadcast.

It quickly appeared on trending searches online.

#Professor Guo Elected Academician of the Academy of Sciences!#

#Professor Guo Elected Academician of the Academy of Engineering!#

#Professor Guo Awarded the National Natural Science and Technology Highest Award!#

#Professor Guo Awarded...#

...

Messages on the trending searches kept refreshing, and soon, the entire hot list was dominated by Guo Hao, with almost all traffic going to Guo Hao.

There was no way around it. The current Professor Guo, because of his youth, his genius, and a series of achievements like Controlled nuclear fusion and Cloned Organs, etc.

Had been completely deified in the eyes of all young people!

Coupled with Guo Hao's attitude, it almost perfectly matched the type of scholar young people liked the most.

Therefore, except for certain people who worshipped foreign things, almost everyone else worshipped Guo Hao greatly.

And the group that worshipped foreign things was not concentrated among young people; young people themselves had already been disenchanted with foreign countries far too much.

Therefore, they all greatly admired Guo Hao!

Capable, with attitude!

And young!

Who wouldn't like a scientist like this?

"Truly awesome!"

"Today's hot list is all about Professor Guo!"

"That's normal! That's Professor Guo! You know, Professor Guo is the most awesome scientist in the world! Controlled nuclear fusion! Cloned Organs! Professor Guo is only 22 years old this year!"

"He is indeed too awesome. A scientist like this has probably never appeared anywhere in the world!"

"Being elected Academician of both academies at the same time, I remember there shouldn't be many such figures!"

"There aren't many. In the 1990s, there was a batch of about thirty people, and after that, there were only a few such figures. But none of that is important.

With Professor Guo's achievements, being an Academician of both academies is just too normal!"

"Indeed, Guo Hao is awesome enough. Being an Academician of both academies is simple for Professor Guo!"

"But speaking of it, Professor Guo really got awards until his hands cramped this time. There were too many awards, like they were free!"

The current Professor Guo should be considered to have received even lifetime achievement awards! It can truly be said that awards are not limited by age! Awesome!"

"Speaking of which, is Professor Guo the youngest scholar to receive the National Natural Science Highest Award? He should be! It feels like he's unprecedented! And it will be hard for anyone to follow!"

"Indeed!"

...

Discussions were rampant online.

And in the Great Hall.

Academician Hu looked at Guo Hao on the high platform with a gloomy expression; his face was very unpleasant.

These things were all predictable, nothing strange about them. What made him look unpleasant were the things he said to Professor Guo yesterday, but this Guo Hao actually completely ignored him!

This person had now won so many awards, giving himself a thick layer of unbreakable golden body!

He was helpless, but could do nothing, only applaud here.

While Academician Hu sat aside, sulking.

At this time, Guo Hao stepped to the front of the stage.

His gaze looked at the many Academicians below the stage, as well as Leaders at all levels, and... the camera on the side.

Guo Hao had a faint smile on his face.

"Today, I can be said to be the biggest winner of this National Science and Technology Conference, perhaps I should say the only one. I have almost taken all the awards!"

I am very grateful for the nation's recognition of me, for the generous rewards, very grateful!

But for me, winning awards has never been my goal."

Heh heh!

Academician Hu sneered in his heart.

Winning awards isn't your goal? Then give them to me! Faking lofty ideals!

Academician Hu grumbled in his heart.

He only dared to grumble about this kind of thing in his heart. Even if he disliked Guo Hao again, he had to admit that Guo Hao's influence was extraordinarily terrifying at the moment, and he didn't dare to offend him face-to-face!

Otherwise, Professor Guo's followers could let him know what terror was!

"...For me, exploring the unknown of the world, leading human civilization, and leading Dragon Country towards a more distant future is what I most want to do!"

But if I want to achieve all this, I am ultimately a bit weak on my own! Therefore! I hope that in the future, everyone can work together with me! Let's head towards the future together! Thank you everyone!"

As soon as Guo Hao finished speaking.

Thunderous applause erupted.

Many people cheered.

Guo Hao's acceptance speech had too grand a scope, and there wasn't a hint of pretense, especially coming from Guo Hao's mouth.

It made people feel even more convinced in their hearts.

Even Academician Hu had to admit that Guo Hao's words during the speech were truly very inspiring. Even though he disliked Guo Hao, his heart was boiling with excitement!

The awards ceremony ended.

Guo Hao did not return to the State Guesthouse to rest, but chose to go directly back to Yan Aviation.

After all, he was very close to Yan Aviation.

But almost at the same time.

The Ugly Country's leader, after taking power, announced the launch of a trade war against Dragon Country.

This news instantly swept across the globe!

Ugly Country announced direct sanctions on several high-tech enterprises in Dragon Country and announced a ban on high-end chips!

And forcefully ordered that lithography machines were not allowed to be sold to Dragon Country!

Furthermore, tariffs were increased!

The already high tariffs were raised by another fifteen percent!

This series of operations.

Was completed almost simultaneously.

On Dragon Country's internet, the news was originally all about Guo Hao and the National Natural Science and Technology Conference, as well as Guo Hao's acceptance speech.

But the people of Dragon Country, who hadn't had time to be moved yet, quickly saw this international news.

Almost the moment the news came out!

The stock market, which had risen for over a year after Controlled nuclear fusion came out, plummeted in response!

"Holy crap?? Is Ugly Country crazy???"

"No, what does this mean? Our Controlled nuclear fusion hasn't landed in Ugly Country yet! Are they going to 'kill the donkey after the mill' so quickly?"

"Damn! Didn't we just sign a peace agreement before? How long has it been! And they're going to tear it up already?"

"Heh heh, that's how Ugly Country is!"

"But it looks like Ugly Country is not preparing for a hot war. Are they preparing for a financial war? It should be that after the previous few confrontations, they are still unwilling?"

"They're really clowns! Damn! If they want to fight a financial war, then Controlled nuclear fusion won't be exported either! Let them flounder!"

Anyway, after having Controlled nuclear fusion, our Dragon Country's dependence on various external resources is actually not high anymore!"

Just as the people of Dragon Country were speculating.

At this moment, an even more significant piece of news also quickly swept across the globe!
