Chapter 272 I think we've panicked too much!
Although he couldn't immediately imagine the exact impact that the success of the Dragon Country's ignition would have on them, relying on his intuition honed by years of political maneuvering, he could vaguely guess that it would definitely have an impact, and a significant one at that!
Therefore, for now, they could only hope that the Dragon Country's ignition would fail.
Just as the whole world was immersed in an atmosphere intertwined with tension and anticipation, Su Chen took a deep breath, and under the gaze of the entire world, finally pressed the button firmly!
Subsequently, the Nuclear Fusion device, which had been shrouded in the pitch-black night sky, suddenly lit up.
In an instant, it shone with brilliant light!
It was as if an artificial sun was slowly rising above the sea surface.
Trails of circuits flickering with dazzling blue light, like agile snakes, moved rapidly across the device, following predetermined paths directly to their target devices. The scene was both spectacular and full of technological flair, as if a magnificent scroll depicting a future energy world was slowly unfolding.
At the same time, a massive amount of information flooded in from various monitoring points like a tide.
"Ignition in Kyoto successful!"
"Ignition in Magic City successful!"
"Ignition in Deep City successful!"
"Ignition in Luo City successful!"
...Until the news of the ignition success in the remote Tibet region arrived, the crowd that had been holding their breath at the workstation instantly erupted into deafening cheers.
The US crowd, still in a daze, heard the bursts of cheers coming from the broadcast, and their hearts skipped a beat as an ominous feeling welled up in their minds.
They vaguely guessed something, but before they could confirm their thoughts, Su Chen's voice rang out again!
His voice spread rapidly across the world through the media:
"I announce that the Nuclear Fusion matrix power generation network has successfully ignited!!!!"
This sentence was like dropping a bombshell onto a calm lake.
It instantly made the whole world boil over!
On the side of the Bear Country, the conference room was silent, the atmosphere so heavy it felt like it could be wrung out like water.
The high-level officials were either frowning or wearing grim expressions, all immersed in the shock brought by the news of the Dragon Country's successful Nuclear Fusion device ignition, each weighing the various impacts of this event on their own country in their hearts.
After a long while, President Putin suddenly laughed, but that laughter was filled with complex emotions of helplessness and envy intertwined. He couldn't help but think of the famous quote by Napoleon.
"The day the lion of the East awakens, the whole world will be shaken."
Now, the reality is right before our eyes. Clearly, this lion has opened its eyes and is displaying astonishing power with an unstoppable posture, continuously creating remarkable achievements in the field of technology. How could this not make one feel deeply emotional?
At this moment, a high-level official couldn't help but ask President Putin:
"Mr. President, what should we do next?"
The tone was filled with a hint of anxiety and confusion!
After all, this huge breakthrough in technology by the Dragon Country would likely change the existing international landscape, and they needed to determine a countermeasure as soon as possible.
President Putin shrugged helplessly and said in a calm tone:
"No need to panic, we are not the Dragon Country's enemy."
"And I've thought about it again; the Dragon Country mastering advanced Nuclear Fusion Technology may not necessarily be a bad thing for us!"
"The ones who should be worried are the US and his band of underlings!"
He knew very well that while the rise of the Dragon Country would bring new competition, in the long run, it might also bring more opportunities for the development of their respective countries!
For the Bear Country, cooperation might be a better choice!
And those forces that have been trying to contain other countries' development and maintain hegemony are probably on pins and needles right now.
Just as President Putin said, the conference room on the US side had already exploded.
"What the hell?"
"The Dragon Country's Nuclear Fusion device ignition was successful?"
"They actually succeeded in researching it?"
"Oh! My God! Tell me this isn't true, I must be dreaming, right?!"
The US high-level officials widened their eyes, faces full of disbelief!
While shouting, they rubbed their eyes hard with their hands!
As if this could erase the cruel reality from before their eyes.
"Face reality! The Dragon Country's technology is now streets ahead of us!"
A high-level official said with a frustrated look, sighing helplessly!
His words were filled with jealousy and unwillingness regarding the Dragon Country's technological explosion.
"It's just mastering Nuclear Fusion Technology, what does one technology count for?"
Some were still being stubborn, trying to downplay the impact of this event.
"May I ask if you have amnesia?"
"The Dragon Country has more than just one technology; have you forgotten their Aerospace Carrier, their mechs, their Electromagnetic Naval Gun, their Room-temperature superconductivity, and so on?"
The person next to him immediately retorted, their voice raised due to excitement!
One by one, the Dragon Country's advanced technological achievements were listed, further highlighting the Dragon Country's current powerful technological strength, making everyone present feel increasingly pressured.
US President Biden couldn't listen anymore and shouted:
"Shut up!"
His face was so gloomy it could drip water, and his brows were tightly knitted into a " river" shape!
"Bickering is useless right now. I just want to know if this Nuclear Fusion Technology can reverse the energy crisis in the Dragon Country!"
His gaze swept across the crowd, his eyes revealing urgency and anxiety. After all, this was a key issue concerning the global situation and the US's subsequent strategic layout, and it was also a question everyone cared about at this moment.
Even if the Dragon Country's technology is powerful, even if they have mastered the terrifying Controlled Nuclear Fusion, if they cannot reverse the energy crisis, then in the important field of energy, the Dragon Country is still useless.
Especially since this energy crisis is sudden and has huge destructive power, covering the globe. As a major energy-consuming country, can the Dragon Country rely on Controlled Nuclear Fusion to deal with this severe energy crisis?
Everyone was unsure and waiting for a professional analysis.
At this moment, an expert suddenly spoke up:
"Respected Mr. President, and everyone, please allow me to say a few words."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on that person; this was the US expert in energy, and also one of the main person in charges for the Nuclear Fusion Technology project.
He had been deeply involved in the energy field for many years, especially in the research of Nuclear Fusion Technology, and his understanding of this field could be said to be quite profound.
In fact, he was clearer than anyone present about how great the impact would be on various countries after the Dragon Country mastered Nuclear Fusion Technology, so his statement was highly anticipated by everyone.
"Dr. Siker, please go ahead."
President Biden, seeing this, quickly signaled for the doctor to continue his speech. He also hoped to analyze the current situation from a professional perspective to see if there was any turning point or countermeasure.
Dr. Siker nodded. He first organized his thoughts, swept his gaze across the crowd slowly, and then spoke:
"I think we are too panicked!"
