4: Chapter 4 Controlled Nuclear Fusion

"Pistol Advancement Plan"

"Rifle Advancement Plan"

"Unmanned System Advancement Plan"

"Body Armor Advancement Plan"

"Communication Radar Technology Advancement Plan"

"Controlled Nuclear Fusion Advancement Plan"

...

Looking at the pile of advancement plans in his mind, Chu Ge danced with joy.

"System Father, you're too awesome! Giving me so many at once makes me feel a bit embarrassed. Hahaha, I'll treat you to a massage later!"

...

After making System Father churn out so many plans without pause, Chu Ge found himself in a dilemma.

With so many to choose from, which one should he research first? This was a technical challenge...

[System Recommendation: Controllable Nuclear Fusion.]

"Small-scale Nuclear Fission Advancement Plan ~ Controllable Nuclear Fusion. It can be applied to engines, power generation, and various other civilian fields. It is the cornerstone of high technology!"

If he was going to do it, he'd go for the most powerful one!

Chu Ge made up his mind. Forget guns and cannons—wouldn't it be better to amaze the world with a single feat? The reaction this thing would cause would be far more powerful than producing some new pistol.

"Wait, who was speaking just now?"

"System Father? ... Father? You're finally willing to speak?" Chu Ge felt as if he had found a long-lost relative, and his voice began to tremble.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully activating one of the core functions: the Interaction System. The Interaction System will provide guidance, auxiliary support, and other functions when necessary. The system will grow alongside the host to activate other subsystems. Please stay tuned.]

"Wuwu, enough nonsense. Turn me into Superman first! I want to show off!" Chu Ge said shamelessly.

[Currently not supported!]

"Then how about withdrawing a hundred million in cash?!"

[Currently not supported]

"..." The hot blood that had just surged in Chu Ge instantly cooled by half.

"Fine, I'll just go back to researching my sun..."

Half a month passed in a flash...

On this day, everyone at the base woke up early. It was only after getting up that they realized something was wrong.

The time was wrong!

At this time yesterday, the sky was still dark, but today it was already light.

Once everyone figured out the situation, they realized the light wasn't coming from the sky, but from a certain place in the base.

Everyone rushed toward that place: the base laboratory.

When Academician Chen saw Chu Ge walking out holding a device, he was completely stunned.

Chu Ge was so shrouded in light that he looked blurred. It felt like...

A god descending to earth!

"Is that Little Chu?"

"Seems so."

"What is that in his hands?"

"Why do I feel like I'm still dreaming..."

...

"Academician Chen, the Super Tokamak device is for you. The experimental data and video materials are all in the lab. I'm exhausted; I need to go catch up on sleep!"

Tossing it to Old Chen, Chu Ge ignored everyone's astonished expressions and walked toward the dormitory on his own!

"Super Tokamak?"

"What on earth is this? I feel like I've seen the sun!"

Academician Chen felt his head throbbing. Others might not know what a Super Tokamak was, but he did. This thing... uh, this thing was way too hot to handle!

After a brief moment of being dazed, Old Chen finally realized something.

"Security department! Completely lock down the base, especially this laboratory! Also, arrange a squad for Chu Ge's dormitory for 24-hour close protection! Uh, I need to go make a phone call first! Carry it out!"

In the laboratory, Old Chen watched the experimental videos Chu Ge had recorded over the past few days.

"Good lad, you've really opened my eyes. I can't even imagine what you'll become in the future!"

At the Huaxia Ministry of Science and Technology, Wu Jianguo was looking through some documents.

The phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, Jianguo, it's me, Chen Hua."

"Old Chen, you're finally willing to call me? Aren't you over at the base right now? Was the experiment successful?"

Wu Jianguo asked excitedly. He knew Academician Chen had led a team there and had been waiting for a call for days.

"Forget that system for a moment. Listen, I'm sending you some data. Look at it immediately."

*Click.*

"This Old Chen, he actually hung up on me."

Wu Jianguo got up to pour a glass of water, then looked at his computer.

"Super Tokamak Experimental Data"

*Hiss.* Wu Jianguo carefully read through the materials and then clicked on the video, including the surveillance footage of Chu Ge holding the Super Tokamak device.

He hurriedly dialed the number back.

"Hello, Old Chen, who is this young man?"

"Oh, he's the developer of that new naval gun system. Oh, by the way, the naval gun system experiment was successful—it's practically perfect!"

"Good! Good! Good! Old Chen, you've picked up a priceless treasure! Take good care of him for me, I'm coming over immediately!"

Wu Jianguo didn't even have time to book a flight. He made one phone call and immediately set off for the military airport.

Meanwhile, the base had returned to its original appearance, but observant people would notice that the security had been upgraded by several levels.

The Special Operations Brigade had moved in!

Leaving the base was forbidden!

Approaching the laboratory was forbidden!

Approaching a certain room in the dormitory area was forbidden!

Chu Ge didn't wake up until three or four hours later. When he walked out of his dorm...

"Greetings, Chief!" Several fully armed soldiers saluted solemnly!

"Ah, I'm not... I didn't... What's the situation here?"

Chu Ge felt conflicted for a moment but then calmly accepted it. This must be the reaction caused by the Super Tokamak...

"It seems I made the right choice..." Chu Ge thought to himself with secret delight.

[I chose it!]

"You're everywhere!"

...

In the base, a special sight appeared.

A young man was followed by two fully armed guards.

The guards' eyes were sharp, occasionally scanning any unrelated personnel who attempted to approach the young man.

In places where others were forbidden to go, he walked as if on level ground.

When people from the Ordnance Research Institute saw the young man, they all stood in awe, their eyes following him with gazes of admiration...

Chu Ge took a lap around the base and then pushed the door open to enter the laboratory.

"Little Chu, are you well-rested?" Academician Chen asked with concern upon seeing Chu Ge arrive.

"Yes, Old Chen, I'm full of energy now."

"Haha, good. Come, let me introduce you. This is Commander Wang, who is in charge of the base's daily affairs."

Beside Academician Chen, a burly middle-aged man with a determined face walked over.

"You must be the legendary Chu Ge? Truly impressive. To have such high achievements at such a young age—Huaxia's future depends on young people like you!"

After speaking, he excitedly shook Chu Ge's hand and nodded firmly.

"Salute!" Chu Ge stood at attention and gave a standard salute.

In the past, the highest-ranking official he had ever met was his military training squad leader. Suddenly having a Commander standing before him, Chu Ge's hot-blooded desire to join the military surged again.

"Look at our Little Chu—that posture! He'd be a qualified soldier the moment he put on a uniform!"

"Stop right there, Old Wang. This is not up to you. You'd better tuck away those little schemes of yours!" Academician Chen said hurriedly.

"Haha, well, you never know, right, Little Chu?"

Chu Ge scratched his head; these two were teasing him again.

Just then, a tall and powerful soldier walked in.

"Report, Commander Wang! The film crew just called to ask about the matter we promised to assist them with..."

"It's fine, I know about it. However, the number of personnel must be reduced; the base has other missions." Commander Wang waved his hand.

"Film crew? Maybe there are celebrities," Chu Ge's little internal calculator started running.

"Commander Wang, Academician Chen, I don't have anything to do right now anyway. I'd like to go take a look."

Commander Wang looked at Academician Chen, and the two nodded.

"Alright, go ahead. Be safe! Captain Gong, I'm entrusting Chu Ge to you. Ensure his safety. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you responsible!"

"Yes, Commander! I guarantee the mission will be completed!" the soldier following behind Chu Ge shouted forcefully.

And so, Chu Ge followed two military vehicles toward the destination. He wanted to get some fresh air; the way everyone at the base looked at him made him feel like he was going to be eaten alive.

The filming location was over 50 kilometers from the base. The military vehicles sped across the uninhabited Gobi Desert and soon reached the destination.

Getting out of the car, Chu Ge saw rows of military-green tents standing on the Gobi Desert.

In fact, many local film and television dramas have military support. Some segments can only be performed by real soldiers; if you let an ordinary person do it, they might not even be able to perform basic tactical movements...

After a filming session ended, the director arranged for everyone to enter the largest tent.

"Captain Gong, thank you and the officers and soldiers of your base for your full support of our film crew."

"It's our duty!"

"Come, everyone take a break. I'll have someone call the actors over. There's no rush for the next scene! Let's have some water."

"Alright, whatever you arrange is fine!"

"Director, I'm here!"

A scent wafted into his nose. Why did this fragrance smell so familiar? Chu Ge frowned.

"Oh, Nazha is here. Since everyone is resting and you're all young people, you should get to know each other!"

Chu Ge turned his head, and Dilireba Nazha's gaze met his...

"You?"

"It's you, you stinking rogue!" Dilireba Nazha was like a cat with its fur standing on end, immediately baring her teeth.

"Miss, please watch your words. If you are disrespectful to the Chief again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Captain Gong stepped in front of Chu Ge and spoke to Dilireba Nazha bluntly.

"This... Chief? Nazha, there must be some misunderstanding here!" Director Ji was a man who had seen many big scenes. Seeing how awkward the situation was, he immediately stood up to smooth things over.

"Chief?"

It wasn't just Director Ji who was surprised; Dilireba Nazha's jaw practically dropped!

"How can it be? He's... he's still so young. A Chief? My God, thinking back to that scene on the plane, it's so embarrassing!"

Dilireba Nazha stood there motionless, her face turning pale and red in turns.

"Captain Gong, it's fine, it's fine. I do know this superstar Dilireba Nazha. There might just be a small misunderstanding, haha."

Seeing Dilireba Nazha's embarrassed state, Chu Ge stepped in at the right time to defuse the situation.

"Haha, I knew it. Come, come, everyone sit down, sit down."

Director Ji pulled Chu Ge down to sit.

Then the two of them kept talking in low voices, with laughter breaking out from time to time.

Looking at Chu Ge, Dilireba Nazha's heart was in a turmoil!

"Who is this person? Could he have some kind of background?"

Actually, after that day, Dilireba Nazha had reconstructed what happened. She had largely dismissed the idea that Chu Ge was a rogue. It was true that she had encountered turbulence when she stood up, lost her balance, and fell onto him...

Looking at this "acquaintance" chatting and laughing with Director Ji, Dilireba Nazha had mixed feelings...

Chu Ge also took a moment to glance at Dilireba Nazha. He saw the beauty's brow slightly furrowed, her gaze fixed, her cute little nose twitching occasionally, and her thin lips looking crystal clear...
