3: At this moment, the gears of destiny for the Dragon Kingdom began to turn!

Because on that simple and plain exercise book, written neatly with a gel pen, were the words:

Solutions to the Problem of Controllable Nuclear Fusion Energy Gain.

Step One: Increase magnetic confinement and inertial confinement, improve the design and operation of magnetic confinement devices, and enhance the energy efficiency of inertial confinement.

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, there are several solutions that can be implemented... Upon reading this step, Liu Chengping suddenly felt his breathing quicken.

And he started struggling to catch his breath.

His aging heart seemed unable to keep up with such a massive informational stimulus.

Zhao Cheng, who was standing nearby, seemed to have anticipated all of this, as he immediately poured two pills of Fast-Acting Heart Medicine from the bottle in his hand.

He then took the portable oxygen tank handed to him by his Master's Wife.

And put it on Liu Chengping.

It took a while for Liu Chengping to recover.

He removed the oxygen mask from his mouth.

He looked at his Wife, who was full of worry, and waved his hand, signaling that he was fine.

In fact, Liu Chengping's heart condition wasn't severe; he hadn't had an episode since retiring.

But the things Zhao Cheng had brought out today were simply too unbelievable.

So much so that his heart rate accelerated far beyond his expectations.

And this kid, Zhao Cheng, seemed to know exactly how he would react, preparing the heart medicine well in advance.

Liu Chengping took a deep breath, calming his emotions once more.

He looked at Zhao Cheng with a serious expression.

"Tell me honestly, where did this come from?"

"Who researched it?"

"Don't tell me you wrote this!"

"Of course, I didn't!" Zhao Cheng shook his head repeatedly.

"It was written by one of my students!"

"What student? A high schooler?"

"Yes!" Zhao Cheng held nothing back, recounting how Lu Feng had come to find him, Lu Feng's college entrance exam scores, and his usual physics grades.

Liu Chengping narrowed his eyes and looked at his student again.

Confirming the other party was not lying.

He then said:

"Do you have research proposals for increasing the continuous operating time of Controllable Nuclear Fusion?"

"Yes!" Zhao Cheng pulled out a notebook numbered 19 from the pile of exercise books.

He handed it to Liu Chengping and added:

"I renumbered all these studies based on the major concepts you proposed back then."

"Inside are entirely new proposals, from perspectives we had never considered."

"I also renumbered those notebooks, arranging them in sequence from simple to difficult, based on the current technology available in Dragon Country."

Liu Chengping no longer paid attention to Zhao Cheng's words.

He was completely immersed in the research theories.

A person's life is long.

Yet, a person's life is also short.

When you spend your entire life doing only one thing, and yet that thing remains unfinished.

When you already feel that there is no hope left.

Someone else succeeds, and the solution is right before your eyes.

The shock of this was immense.

Liu Chengping's hands trembled incessantly.

His Wife glanced at Liu Chengping, turned, and retrieved a portable ECG Monitor from inside the house.

She clipped it onto Liu Chengping's wrist.

Liu Chengping's heart rate had already reached 130 beats per minute.

And it was still rising.

His Wife couldn't bear to watch anymore. "That's enough, you can't look anymore. If you keep reading, your heart won't be able to handle it."

Liu Chengping, however, kept muttering to himself, "So that's it, so that's it."

"It's actually this simple? Is there truly such a thing as a genius who achieves sudden enlightenment in this world?"

"Quick! Show me the ones you numbered—the paths I never considered before."

"Alright! But Teacher, you must calm down first!" Zhao Cheng did not hand over the notebook. Instead, he spoke seriously to Liu Chengping.

Liu Chengping had no choice but to comply with his student from many years ago.

So he stood up and took several long breaths.

Finally bringing his heart rate under 100 beats per minute.

Only then did Zhao Cheng hand over the notebook.

The next moment!

Liu Chengping's Heart Monitor immediately emitted a beeping alarm.

His heart rate had exceeded the critical value.

Zhao Cheng hurriedly reached for the heart medicine.

However, Liu Chengping grabbed his hand.

"Quick, quick!! Don't bother with the medicine!"

"Call Dean Chen at the Dragon Science Academy!"

...One hour later.

In the Dean's Office at the Dragon Science Academy.

Dean Chen, his voice trembling, called for his Assistant.

"You must immediately notify Vice President Zhang and tell him to come to the Dragon Science Academy for a meeting."

"Understood!" The Assistant nodded, about to head out.

"Wait, I'm not finished," Dean Chen continued:

"Also, Vice President Li Tao, whose expertise is physics."

"And Academician Sun from Chemistry, Professor Wang..."

The Assistant kept noting the names; he had never seen the Dean call so many people to a single meeting before.

Including the names of some retired Elder Scientists whose names were already in school textbooks.

The Assistant asked hesitantly:

"Dean Chen, do we really need to call all of them?"

"And it's... already nighttime now."

Dean Chen looked as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

An expression of extreme excitement flushed across his face.

The veins on his neck were bulging.

"Just tell them that we have achieved a major breakthrough in a highly critical field."

"Ask them to come quickly!"

No matter how excited Dean Chen was, he kept the importance and confidentiality of this matter firmly in mind.

Thus, he did not explicitly tell the Assistant what the matter was.

It was the first time the Assistant had seen the Dean wear such a solemn expression.

He still carefully recorded the names of all the Scientists.

Then he walked out of the office.

After he was a certain distance away from the office.

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"It's me!"

"There's a major breakthrough."

"It's not a small matter; all prominent Scientists in Dragon Country must attend."

"Even including Elder Ji!"

The silent voice on the other end of the phone suddenly shouted in shock:

"What did you say?"

"Ji Zhengkang, Elder Ji, is coming too?"

"Yes! Ji Zhengkang himself!" The Assistant replied affirmatively.

The voice on the other end became serious, and his breathing grew heavy.

"Send over the relevant detailed information shortly."

"I need to verify the data."

"This will be immediately reported to the General!"

"Go do your job first, and remember!"

"The information must be extremely detailed!"

"Yes!" the Assistant agreed.

And immediately hung up the phone.

He began organizing the information.

Then he pulled out a Disposable Phone.

And dialed a number.

The phone only rang once.

Before it was answered.

The person on the other side remained silent.

The Assistant only said four words: "Major breakthrough!"

There was no verbal response from the other side.

The call was silently disconnected.

The Assistant snapped the Disposable Phone in half.

And threw it into the trash can.

He then immersed himself in the work of notifying all the Academicians and Professors of the Dragon Country Science Academy.

This was an atmosphere he had never experienced since joining the Dragon Science Academy.

The gears of destiny for Dragon Country and the Destiny of the Entire Human World began to turn at this very moment!
