62: Section 62

Although there was no evidence, their words were spoken with great confidence.

Because they also knew that while they couldn't prove the other party was harmful, the other party also couldn't prove their innocence!

Seeing the Chinese officials speak so righteously, the media reporters from Lighthouse Country lost their confidence and could only abandon the question, not daring to press further.

The scene of these media being counter-questioned by Chinese diplomatic officials, who then in turn accused Lighthouse Country, leaving the reporters speechless, was immediately circulated on platforms like Douyin, Kuaishou, and Bilibili.

It made countless people's blood boil with excitement.

"Hahaha, Brother Jian is right!"

"These foreign reporters are just the pawns of the Lighthouse Country President; there's no need to be polite with them!"

"I can't believe it, Lighthouse Country's chemical reagents are actually harmful. Where's their face? They still dare to talk about environmental protection."

"I thought so, I've known Lighthouse Country has been shameless from the start."

"Exactly, exactly, how could a country like Lighthouse Country possibly talk about environmental protection."

"Talking about it is possible, but as for doing it, unless environmental protection can make them money, don't even think about it."

"However, at the end of the day, Lighthouse Country has indeed entered the stage of rapid extraction of combustible ice as a new energy source, while we are still in the experimental stage. We have to admit there is a gap here."

"What's that? Anyway, our domestic combustible ice isn't going anywhere. We can extract it later when we have the technology!"

"The biggest problem now is worrying that Lighthouse Country will continue to make an issue of this, preventing us from using old energy sources before we can use new ones."

"I have to say, it's highly likely. This shameless method is very Lighthouse Country-like!"

"But I believe the Chinese official this time will definitely not take a beating without fighting back. After all, times have changed!"

After witnessing the miracle of the asthma medicine, the significant progress in rare earth technology, and the sudden emergence of the 0.35-nanometer photolithography machine multiple times.

The public now has full confidence in the officials.

Facing the difficulties posed by Lighthouse Country, there were surprisingly few dissenting voices online this time.

They all expressed belief that the Chinese official would definitely be able to handle these minor issues.

This time, the official received support from the public, and its external attitude also changed from its previous demeanor, becoming much tougher.

Not only did it forcefully respond to Lighthouse Country's contradictory environmental issues.

It also continuously condemned the other party's problematic chemical reagents.

Furthermore, after The White House President repeatedly ignored and dared not release the experimental report.

The Chinese official became even more certain that they were on the absolutely correct side.

"Haha, I knew it. Those guys from Lighthouse Country, their chemical reagents really aren't harmless!"

In the conference room, the diplomatic official had just come down from the press conference and returned here for a meeting.

It was evident from his beaming expression that he was very pleased.

After all, in the past, Lighthouse Country constantly slandered China with fabricated reasons, forcing China, even knowing it was nonsense, to reveal the truth to explain.

As a result, many of their real data would be forcibly exposed, and Lighthouse Country would gain intelligence through this almost unreasonable method.

Although only small pieces of intelligence could be obtained, accumulated over time, China had suffered many losses in the past.

But this time, it was finally reversed!

It was China's turn to accuse Lighthouse Country!

Initially, they were actually unsure whether Lighthouse Country's chemical reagents were truly harmful.

Academician Li learned from the report elevated by Lin Bai that the method of extracting combustible ice by injecting chemical reagents.

They had already found the unique solution to this method.

Only the chemical reagents formulated in the report they possessed were completely harmless.

Any alteration to the formula would have an impact.

It could be said that this method was advanced to the extreme.

Even if there were more advanced extraction methods, they would definitely not be related to chemical reagents, but rather other completely different types of methods such as pyrolysis or displacement.

And at first, they dared not guarantee 100%.

Because they truly didn't know how far Lighthouse Country's research on chemical reagents had progressed.

They couldn't be sure if their chemical reagents had also been researched to be completely harmless, to the same extent as the data they held.

Although they had 70% confidence, after all, even Lighthouse Country had only started researching the combustible ice project in recent years.

But before being certain, there was still some concern about underestimating the opponent.

So the Chinese official also used Lighthouse Country's own method, an eye for an eye, to test the other party.

Even with only about 70% certainty, they could still claim it was true, wanting to force Lighthouse Country to clarify.

However, the more Lighthouse Country dared not respond directly.

The more confident China became that Lighthouse Country's chemical reagents had not reached a harmless level!

In this way, Lighthouse Country's environmental slogan directly became mere empty talk!

"After half a month of continuous probing by us."

"We are basically 90% certain that the chemical reagents developed by Lighthouse Country definitely contain moderate to severe harmful effects on the ocean!"

"The remaining 10% can be completely proven through searches, forced disclosure, and other means!"

"I suggest that it is now our turn to leverage China's international influence to propose a mandatory verification of these chemical reagents in the United Nations!"

"Agreed, give Lighthouse Country more trouble, so they have less energy to obstruct our development."

"Yes, in the past, Lighthouse Country always took the lead in causing trouble. This time, it's our turn to take the initiative and counteract them!"

At the meeting, many people agreed to take the initiative in this incident.

After all, several times before, Lighthouse Country had continuously taken the initiative to cause trouble, obstructing them in various aspects, imposing technological blockades, and uniting to suppress China, and so on.

And this time, it was rare that they had absolutely favorable evidence and held an absolute advantage.

There was no reason to let them off!

Moreover, with the favorable situation brought to the entire country by Chief Yun's Special Decision Group.

It significantly increased the influence of several high-ranking leaders, including Chief Yun.

The military region leader was one of them, and he himself belonged to the hawkish faction, with a very strong external attitude.

Of course, he wouldn't want to miss such a good opportunity that the other party actively presented.

Soon, the meeting passed this important decision.

Then, after a series of reasonable and legal procedures, an application was sent to the United Nations.

Proposing an application to thoroughly investigate the environmental harm caused by Lighthouse Country's chemical reagents.

However, of course, China also knew that such a forced investigation of another country's research would not be easy to pass, requiring the support of multiple countries and pressure on Lighthouse Country.

But China still chose to do so this time; what it wanted to do was express this attitude!

This series of actions stunned Western countries, and arguably, the entire world's populace.

"What the f***, China is so aggressive this time?"

"What gives them the right?"

"They actually say that the chemical reagents produced by our great Lighthouse Country are harmful?"

"Holy crap, Mr. President, hurry up and refute them! What is the President doing? Why isn't he speaking up?"

"F***, China is actually riding on our faces with 950 output, what a humiliation!"

"Why should the chemical reagents we developed be forcibly disclosed!"

"This is not democracy, this is not freedom!"

"…"

Bang! Boom!

In a White House meeting, the President, with a distorted face, slammed his fist on the table.

Looking at the notice sent to him from the United Nations, although the application was not immediately approved, the blatant disdain for his attitude directly made the President's face flush with anger.

"This damn China!"

"How dare they look down on our great Lighthouse Country!"

"Damn it!"

But fortunately, the initiative was still in his hands.

Other senators also advised, "Mr. President, there's no need to worry too much!"

"Such matters require the consent of most countries in the world to interfere with another country."

"And China doesn't have any absolute evidence to show. Besides, aren't most Western countries our little brothers? What is there to fear!"

"Exactly, Mr. President, don't worry!"

"Although we lost to China in public opinion this time, we still won in the end!"

"After all, even if it's harmful to the environment, we have indeed obtained combustible ice as a resource. It won't be a problem to comprehensively lead the world in industry in the future!"

"And for China to catch up with us in this regard, it's impossible without ten or eight years!"

Hearing everyone say this, the President slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, anyway, others can only talk; there's no way they can actually investigate.

And they just need to stubbornly deny it!

At that time, even if he loses face and continues to advocate for environmental protection internationally, China won't be able to do anything to him!

And the most practical thing is that they genuinely possess advanced extraction methods, and the cost is not high.

Once Professor Ganiff's formula is fully distributed to various production departments, they can massively extract combustible ice!

However.

Things did not seem to proceed as the President and many senators had imagined.
