79: Section 79
"As expected, the country suddenly launched this project because the Lin Group got involved, so we will definitely achieve a breakthrough!"
"Hahaha, those famous foreign scholars and professors even said that our Huaguo's researchers are unworthy and lower the quality of all scientists."
"Heh, they say we can't make things they themselves can't make, it's really too ridiculous!"
"Don't celebrate too early, it's just a statement, maybe it's fake news!"
"Upstairs, don't be a contrarian!"
"Don't worry, upstairs, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."
"Hmph, now I want to see how your other foreign professors will view this incident!"
"Apologize, all of you, apologize!"
"Those who slandered our Huaguo researchers, come out and speak!"
"Oh, right, wasn't it a professor on Bilibili who first posted a video saying it was impossible, leading us into this trap?"
"Yes, it was that guy Liu Weilong!"
"It's so infuriating, it's all his fault that I believed him and thought Nuclear Fusion really couldn't be achieved within fifty years!"
In an instant, those who had previously posted videos, articles, and Weibo posts condemning the authorities,
were instantly flooded with sweet messages in their comment sections by many passionate citizens.
Seeing his Bilibili private messages explode, Liu Weilong was dumbfounded.
He really wasn't a 'fifty-cent party' member!
He really didn't intentionally mislead others' discussions!
His lifelong learning told him that Nuclear Fusion really couldn't be achieved in a short time!
How did the research institute suddenly achieve a breakthrough?
Liu Weilong was completely stunned.
Without another word, he quickly deleted that video, then remained silent online, playing dead.
He regretted it immensely.
Just two days ago, he was thinking of gaining followers with this video criticizing the authorities, but it backfired after only two days.
Similarly, many self-proclaimed experts also played dead at the same time, not daring to speak out recklessly anymore.
They all shared a common thought—
"The theory is correct!"
"But the Lin Group is an anomaly!"
It must be because of the Lin Group's existence that these impossible-to-break-through technologies were achieved so quickly!
Next time, for anything related to scientific research, they wouldn't dare to speak carelessly, even if it killed them.
Unless they were sure there was no Lin Group involved!
...Of course, this matter had already escalated internationally, forcibly involving research institutes from many countries.
Therefore, the official response naturally attracted attention from multiple countries.
They thought it might be the authorities coming out to admit their mistake.
Or perhaps the authorities wanted to divert attention and conceal the truth.
But no one had ever thought that this fund was actually allocated to the Nuclear Fusion project!
And after the allocation, they actually achieved results and made a breakthrough!
This directly dumbfounded those experts and professors.
"Oh my god! Huaguo actually researched such a special material?"
"I don't believe it, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Huaguo is just grandstanding, if they have the guts, let them publish the material!"
Of course, seeing the foreign reaction,
the domestic public burst into laughter.
"Hilarious, these foreigners are truly idiots. How could such precious research results be casually disclosed to them?"
"Telling them is already being very responsible."
"They even want us to publicize the results, I can't stop laughing, my friends."
...Lighthouse Country.
The President was dumbfounded when he saw the report.
Didn't they say that Huaguo's funds were embezzled?
How did they actually achieve success?
Could it be that he guessed wrong, and Huaguo officials didn't embezzle at all, and he was overthinking it?
Of course, what shocked him was also the scientific research results report.
"shit! Did Huaguo really break through this technology and develop this material?"
"Where are our scientists?"
"We have so many researchers, for so many years, why are there still no results?"
"shit, could it be that the funds I allocated to the research institute were also embezzled?"
As he thought about it, the President began to shift this idea to his own people.
However, after the experts in Lighthouse Country received this news,
they once again gnashed their teeth and expressed jealousy.
Of course, they also maintained their usual stubbornness, refusing to admit Huaguo's strength.96
"Hmph, it's just a text message, who knows if it's true or false."
"Scientific research often relies on flashes of inspiration; Huaguo just got lucky!"
"Yes, they just got lucky and suddenly discovered some substance!"
"It's not that our strength isn't good, it's just that our luck is a bit poor, and our funding is a bit less!"
"Even if they develop this material, so what? This is just one of many big problems!"
"It's still a long way from fully realizing Nuclear Fusion!"
...However,
this time, Huaguo seemed determined to make the entire world tremble.
Three days after announcing the first research achievement,
the official Weibo account of the Research Institute once again simultaneously posted a new message—
"The Nuclear Fusion project announces its second research achievement: we officially announce that the superconducting bundled coil made of wires capable of providing temperature transformations of hundreds of millions has been completed, bringing controllable Nuclear Fusion one step closer."
Seeing this latest announcement,
the public, who had not yet recovered from the previous shock,
once again felt the power of Huaguo's researchers.
After so many years without significant breakthroughs, now, with a large investment of funds and the Lin Group's involvement, they immediately lived up to expectations, making successive breakthroughs in such a short period.
Looking at the phrase "one step closer," everyone felt incredibly reassured.
"Too strong! Our Huaguo is too powerful!"
"The Lin Group's involvement has driven the research team's improvement; their contribution is indispensable!"
"Yes, the Lin Group is both mysterious and powerful, almost like a guardian deity for our Huaguo!"
"Huaguo's willingness to invest heavily is also indispensable!"
"A part of my taxes went into this; I think I also have some credit~"
"These continuous breakthroughs, why do they make me feel like controllable Nuclear Fusion is almost ready?"
"Holy crap, no way, is it really that terrifying?"
"Experts and professors worldwide are saying that controllable Nuclear Fusion can theoretically be achieved within thirty years, but in reality, it might take at least fifty years to achieve!"
"Fifty years? How dare I say it can be done in five years?"
"Five years? Five months!"
"That's too much, upstairs, you can't daydream like that!"
Netizens were still quite rational.
After all, even an ordinary person knows how difficult it is to achieve controllable Nuclear Fusion.
While they had high hopes for the Huaguo authorities, they wouldn't force the research institute to produce results in a short time.
However,
whether they expected it or not, the news from the Research Institute kept coming!
After another five days,
the official Weibo account of the Research Institute released new news again—
"The Nuclear Fusion project announces its third research achievement: the Lin Group has optimized our controllable Nuclear Fusion theory to its most optimal stage."
"And we have already, based on this theory, completed breakthroughs on all key technical difficulties!"
"After unremitting efforts, the first simplified basic version of the controllable Nuclear Fusion experimental device has been completed and will undergo its first controllable Nuclear Fusion experiment test tomorrow!"
