Chapter 269 Preparing to Escape
The reappearance of Su Chen surprised the audience watching the Spring Festival Gala!
"He was the one standing in the center position during the Aerospace Carrier launch ceremony!"
"Now he has actually stepped out again!"
"Is he a student representative? I thought he was some official's second-generation descendant!"
Viewers all over the world raised such questions, and everyone was full of curiosity about this young man who frequently appeared on important occasions.
In a residence in Luo City, Father Su and Mother Su were excitedly embracing, their faces beaming with pride and joy, shouting:
"Little Chen, Little Chen has appeared again!"
Su Youwan sat to the side, her eyes flashing with admiration, envy, and excitement!
President Biden stared at Su Chen on the screen and said thoughtfully:
"I didn't expect the Dragon Kingdom to attach such importance to university students. No wonder their scientific research capabilities can develop so rapidly; this is inseparable from the importance they place on education!"
General Drake, who was beside him, frowned slightly upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and asked:
"Mr. President, should we investigate the intelligence on this young man?"
President Biden waved his hand, expressing his indifference:
"No need. What kind of waves can a young man like this make? If we had to investigate everyone we saw, Smith would be worked to death. His pressure is already quite high right now."
Everyone nodded upon hearing this, feeling that it was indeed a reasonable point.
Moreover, they had already been battered beyond recognition by the Dragon Kingdom's successive displays; where would they have the energy to conduct such investigations?
Su Chen appeared before the public again, but in reality, he was not very willing to be on camera; after all, he was more accustomed to focusing on scientific research behind the scenes.
But there was no other way; he was the Chief Engineer of the Eternal Day Project and held the only qualification to launch the project.
That's right, the Dragon Kingdom had entrusted such an important burden to a young man like him, which was enough to show the country's trust in him.
And at this moment, the heavy responsibility of launching the project also fell upon his shoulders.
The host smiled and said to Su Chen:
"This student, come and introduce this easter egg to our audience friends in front of the TV!"
Su Chen nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and tried hard to calm himself down.
At this moment, the world's gaze was like a spotlight, all concentrated on him. Those gazes seemed to carry the weight of a thousand jun, yet Su Chen's eyes revealed confidence and calmness.
He spoke slowly:
"Next, what I am going to introduce is the second program easter egg."
As he spoke, Su Chen raised his hand, pointed to the huge working platform behind him with more than half of its body submerged in the sea, and then continued in a steady and powerful voice:
"This is our latest achievement, codenamed the Eternal Day Project's..."
"Controlled Nuclear Fusion Power Grid!"
Once these words were spoken, the whole world seemed to go quiet, and time seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Viewers around the world, after hearing Su Chen say the words "Controlled Nuclear Fusion Power Grid," were all stunned, as if they had been hit by a paralysis spell.
However, most people's faces were filled with confusion.
This was mainly because they did not understand the true value of this achievement.
"Controlled Nuclear Fusion?"
"What is that?"
"Is it very impressive?"
"Never heard of it!"
Many ordinary viewers were secretly puzzled in their hearts, feeling confused about this unfamiliar term.
However, they also knew that if their country would announce an achievement so grandly on a program as globally watched as the Spring Festival Gala, it must not be simple.
Although many people knew very little about Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology, this did not affect their admiration for the Dragon Kingdom's ability to showcase cutting-edge scientific achievements on such a grand occasion!
In their hearts, the Dragon Kingdom had already become a country full of mystery and powerful technological strength.
And those viewers who truly understood Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology were even more shocked into silence at this moment!
The shock in their hearts was like a magnitude 10 earthquake.
Especially on the side of the Eagle Sauce, a group of scientists heard this news!
They all stared at each other with wide eyes, looking at one another, and the entire space fell into a silent silence!
And sometimes, this silence, compared to noise, could better highlight the severity of the matter.
"The Dragon Kingdom actually mastered Controlled Nuclear Fusion?"
"We haven't made any breakthroughs in this technology yet, and the Dragon Kingdom has already achieved it?"
"Impossible, the Dragon Kingdom must be joking. With their technology, it is fundamentally impossible to achieve Controlled Nuclear Fusion!" An Eagle Sauce scientist said with a face full of disbelief.
He shook his head vigorously, as if wanting to shake this news out of his mind!
But those words were like sharp nails, deeply nailed into his mind, unable to be dispelled no matter what.
"But have you forgotten? The Dragon Kingdom seemed to have a big move a while ago, recalling all experts in nuclear physics back to the country!"
"Could it be... they really broke through???"
"And, they also mastered Room-temperature superconductivity technology a while ago, and now they have mastered Controlled Nuclear Fusion, the Dragon Kingdom..."
Another scientist frowned, recalling the various signs from the Dragon Kingdom before, and muttered to himself, his voice full of worry and awe!
President Biden stared blankly at the screen. Blue veins bulged on his forehead, looking like earthworms wriggling under the skin. His hands were tightly clenched into fists; due to excessive force, his knuckles were creaking.
His eyes revealed a kind of anger and unwillingness, and he said viciously:
"Controlled Nuclear Fusion... How could the Dragon Kingdom master Controlled Nuclear Fusion?"
"No! Fake! This must be fake! They must be fooling the whole world!"
He kept telling himself in his heart that this could not be true!
How could the Dragon Kingdom achieve such a huge technological breakthrough in such a short time?
He dared not believe this fact in any way, as if admitting it would mean that Eagle Sauce had completely lost in the technological competition.
On the other side, Smith, who was lying on the hospital bed, was originally immersed in his own thoughts, feeling annoyed and disturbed by the Aerospace Carrier matter.
But when he heard Su Chen say "Controlled Nuclear Fusion Power Grid," he was suddenly hit as if by a powerful electric current, and his whole body sat up straight instantly.
At this moment, his scalp was tingling, and a deep sense of fear and shock welled up from the bottom of his heart.
A layer of dense sweat beads appeared on his forehead at some point, bean-sized sweat beads sliding down his cheeks, and his two hands were also uncontrollably trembling, like leaves in the wind, as if he had heard some terrifying news.
"Is the Dragon Kingdom all a bunch of lunatics?"
"They can even come up with this thing???"
Smith screamed in terror in his heart!
His brain was like a high-speed operating machine, spinning constantly, trying to figure out what was going on.
Suddenly, his pupils dilated sharply, and a memory rushed to his mind like a bolt of lightning.
"Controlled Nuclear Fusion Power Grid... Could it be the Nuclear Fusion Power Grid construction blueprint that I sent people to fabricate before..."
Thinking of this, Smith was completely numb!
His body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.
"Damn it! Are these scientists from the Dragon Kingdom playing for real?!"
"That blueprint was all fake! It only mentioned the concept of Nuclear Fusion, and you guys could actually make Nuclear Fusion out of that???"
"And..."
He recalled Su Chen's original words back then and realized that the matter was far more serious than he had imagined.
The Dragon Kingdom had not only broken through the Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology now!
And...
It had also achieved application!
It had even built it into a network; this was simply a miracle like a fantasy!
The more Smith thought about it, the more absurd he felt; he even began to doubt whether he was actually dreaming, or whether he had hallucinations because of too much pressure recently.
He subconsciously pinched his arm, and a sharp pain came; only then did he realize that all this was actually happening, and not a dream.
After confirming that all this was not a dream but reality, he suddenly felt his whole body a bit weak!
As if all his strength had been drained away, he suddenly lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with dull eyes, his mind blank, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just like this, not knowing how long it lasted, Smith sat up again.
And at this moment, he seemed to have figured out some things, and also seemed to have made a certain determination.
Then, he decided...
To run away!
