17: An academician from the Longke Academy works under you, and you want a university spot?

Elder Wu of the Dragon Country Cabinet!

This elder currently ranks second in the Dragon Nation's highest authority.

He is a founding hero of the Dragon Nation and an old soldier who has fought countless classic battles.

He has always been known for his fiery temper and straightforward speech.

Qin Guozhu walked at the forefront.

Elder Wu was the person he admired and worshipped the most.

Qin Guozhu faced Lu Feng and slightly turned sideways.

"Elder Wu, this is Lu Feng."

Elder Wu, full of vigor, quickly walked to Lu Feng's side.

He even extended his hand toward Lu Feng.

"Lu Feng, hello!!"

"Hello!" Lu Feng also extended his hand. "Hello, Elder Wu!"

Although Elder Wu's hand had many wrinkles,

it was still very strong.

His gaze had been fixed on Lu Feng since he entered, never shifting away.

"Good, good, good!" Elder Wu said the word 'good' three times in a row.

Only then did he gently pat Lu Feng's shoulder.

"You are now a national treasure of our Dragon Nation!"

"Originally, Elder Sun was determined to come see you."

"However, he was delayed by some matters."

"As for what exactly those matters are, I believe you will know soon enough."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was once again shocked beyond measure.

Not only did the second-in-command of the Dragon Nation's highest authority personally come to see Lu Feng,

but the Grand Elder was also supposed to come?

He was delayed by some matters!!!

Elder Wu looked at Lu Feng, then at Elder Ji.

"What Mr. Ji said is very correct. Currently, our Dragon Nation is rising too quickly."

"It has already aroused dissatisfaction among those in the West."

"They don't want us Dragon Nation people to stand up; they still want us to act according to their whims as before."

"So, they've imposed all kinds of blockades on us."

"And this is only the beginning."

As Elder Wu spoke, he turned his gaze to the crowd below the stage.

"In the future, the path for our Dragon Nation will only become more difficult."

"But fortunately, we have you all!"

"With you scientific researchers here."

"I'm not worried at all. Those who should be most worried are those in the West with ulterior motives and their countries."

"Let's make them open their dog eyes wide and see."

"Our Dragon Nation can succeed on its own!"

The group of scientists was stirred to a fever pitch by Elder Wu's words, a surge of boiling blood rushing to their heads.

They clenched their fists and shouted hoarsely:

"We can do it!"

"We can do it!"

"We can do it!"

Qin Guozhu watched from the side, feeling both excited and full of admiration.

Elder Wu truly lived up to being a kingly general who had personally experienced the battlefield.

In terms of the ability to stir emotions on the spot, if he claimed second place in the entire Dragon Nation, no one would dare claim first.

Since Elder Sun couldn't come, Elder Wu was the best candidate.

After all, no one knew how much time this experimental research on Controllable Nuclear Fusion would take.

It was very necessary for Elder Wu to give a speech similar to a pre-battle mobilization to boost everyone's morale.

Seeing that everyone had shouted for a while, Elder Wu made a gentle downward pressing motion with his hand in the air.

The venue instantly fell silent.

Elder Wu looked at Lu Feng.

"Lu Feng!"

"No!" Elder Wu said with a smile:

"I shouldn't call you Lu Feng now; I should address you as Chief Engineer Lu!"

"Chief Engineer Lu, what Mr. Ji said earlier is exactly what I want to say."

"The Project Divine Light must be implemented immediately!"

"There will be more and more blockades from the West later; time is very tight."

At this point, Elder Wu's brows slightly furrowed.

Clearly, something troubling had happened recently.

"That's why we brought you here so quickly to have you take charge of such a major national project."

"You can raise any difficulties you have, whether personal or related to the project."

"For your difficulties, our entire Dragon Nation will do everything in its power!"

"This..." Upon hearing Elder Wu's words,

Lu Feng felt even more embarrassed.

"What is it?"

"Just now, I heard your speech about the knowledge and theory of Controllable Nuclear Fusion, and it was absolutely brilliant."

"Whatever requests you have, just say them. Let's hear them first."

Lu Feng took a deep breath.

"Elder Wu! It's like this: due to my personal reasons, I scored zero on the college entrance exam."

"I want to attend a good university to live up to my parents' expectations!"

"Also, I need to tell my parents something."

"I'll be working on a research project recently and won't be home often, so they shouldn't worry!"

Lu Feng's words were not loud.

But now the entire venue was extremely quiet, and this was a secret underground base.

So everyone heard his question.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

What????

You're telling me this monstrously talented genius scored zero on the college entrance exam!!!

Damn, someone who scored zero on the college entrance exam has this ability???

Then I, who scored 710 on the college entrance exam back then, should die of shame??

Some people couldn't help but curse outright.

Holy shit, bro, you're the Chief Engineer of the Project Divine Light, the strongest in the Dragon Nation right now, a project that mobilizes the entire nation's resources!

Bro, your subordinates are Academicians and Professors of the Dragon Science Academy. Even ordinary postdocs can't enter this door, you know?

Elder Ji Zhengkang, a researcher of nuclear bombs and a recipient of the Dragon Nation Medal, will be working under you.

And your request is to attend a good university?????

Did you walk onto the wrong set?

Even if you directly asked for an Academician position at the Dragon Science Academy, Elder Wu would sign off on it right now!

So when Lu Feng made his request,

the mouths of all the researchers present were wide open enough to fit a duck egg.

They were even more shocked than when Lu Feng explained the feasibility theory of Controllable Nuclear Fusion.

After hearing Lu Feng's request,

Elder Wu also opened his mouth wide.

But after all, he was the second-in-command of the Dragon Nation and had seen too many storms.

He was the fastest to regain his composure in the entire venue.

He showed an expression that was both amused and exasperated.

"You..."

"Chief Engineer Lu, is this your request?"

"Yes! If it's inconvenient, then it's okay!!"

Lu Feng felt a bit embarrassed because, after all, he had scored zero on the college entrance exam.

He didn't know if making this request was too much.

He only knew that university special admissions had their own regulations, and whether they could be broken for him was still unknown.

Elder Wu repeated, "Inconvenient???"

Then he looked back at Qin Guozhu, who also had a shocked expression.

He looked at Elder Ji again! Elder Ji looked at Lu Feng with a doting expression toward a junior.

Elder Wu suddenly laughed.

"Hahahahaha!"

As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he laughed loudly.

It seemed like tears were about to come out from laughing.

Qin Guozhu also laughed, and then even Elder Ji started laughing.

Lu Feng was very puzzled. Was what he just said a joke?

Are you all laughing like this?

If you keep laughing, believe me, I won't do this Chief Engineer job anymore!

Then Elder Wu stopped laughing.

He looked at Lu Feng:

"I agree to your request."

"Now tell me, when can we start implementing Controllable Nuclear Fusion?"

Lu Feng looked around at those expectant eyes.

He nodded solemnly, "We can start now!"

"Good!"

Elder Wu looked at the Dragon Nation's researchers below the stage.

"I announce!"

"The Project Divine Light starts today, at this moment!"

"Chief Engineer: Lu Feng!"

"Deputy Engineer: Ji Zhengkang!"
