101: Chapter 101: Once again, the entire nation is mobilized to ensure victory in this decisive battle that will determine the fate of China!

"Room temperature... atmospheric pressure..."

"Diamagnetic... zero resistance..."

"Impossible, this is impossible!!!"

Chief Designer Bai Yannian rubbed his eyes, completely unable to believe everything before him!

He shook his head vigorously to keep himself clear-headed.

Then, relying on his remaining reason and knowledge, he asked Lin Mo some detailed questions about the room-temperature superconducting material.

Lin Mo did not disappoint everyone; he answered these questions one by one and even detailed the elemental composition, specific ratios, and development process very thoroughly.

When the final question received a definitive answer, Lin Mo smiled and summarized: "As long as you know the specific elemental ratio, the production of room-temperature superconducting material is actually very simple. It only requires some simple chemical instruments, and one person can easily produce it."

"Chief Designer Bai, the basic constituent elements of this room-temperature superconducting material are mainly rare metal and graphene, with a small amount of copper, lead, and oxygen added."

"Therefore, I have named it 'Rare Metal Superconductor', with the codename: XJ-1."

Chief Designer Bai Yannian took half a step back, standing blankly in front of the video conference screen, completely immersed in deep shock!

At this moment, Chief Designer Bai Yannian finally confirmed that this small, unremarkable lump of dark matter in Lin Mo's hand was, for heaven's sake, really, truly a room-temperature superconducting material!

But... such an epoch-making new material—others had spent their whole lives studying it without a clue, and you, for heaven's sake, say you made it just like that?

Is it really that casual?

And you even put it on the table as a decoration; are you human or a ghost?

Chief Designer Bai Yannian heaved a long sigh at Lin Mo on the screen, saying that if Lin Mo had produced this room-temperature superconducting material earlier, China's Controlled Nuclear Fusion project wouldn't have encountered so many difficulties and obstacles before!

Upon hearing this, the others' eyes burned with fervor.

Even if they didn't understand the technicalities, they roughly knew the situation by now!

It seemed that Comrade Lin Mo, this lucky star and national scholar of China, had created another miracle!

Long Jianjun signaled with his eyes for the staff to help Chief Designer Bai Yannian back to his seat.

"Comrade Lin Mo, you really know how to surprise us!" The leader looked at Lin Mo on the big screen and sighed with a smile.

"I can only say, it is truly incredible!" Shi Jinghai, the Navy Commander-in-Chief on the side, took a deep breath. After taking his medicine, his heart condition eased slightly, and he said in a weak tone: "It seems that our China's little family savings are going to be emptied by Comrade Lin Mo this time."

General Yun Feijie waved his hand and said magnanimously: "If the money is gone, we can earn it back!"

"Instead of letting it rot in the national treasury, it's better to take it out and let Comrade Lin Mo implement this five-year plan. That is more practical!"

"In recent years, although we have hundreds of major projects in China eyeing the funds!"

"But I support these four major plans of Comrade Lin Mo with both hands!"

"Once these grand plans can produce new results, even if it's just Controlled Nuclear Fusion, it would be completely worth stopping all other major projects!"

Everyone spoke one after another, all supporting Lin Mo, and the leader felt gratified.

"Very good!"

"Since everyone agrees, there is no need to vote again!"

"I will also state my position: I fully support Comrade Lin Mo's five-year plan and the four major plans!"

"Comrade Lin Mo, go ahead and do it boldly this time; don't have any worries!"

"The period during which these four major plans are promoted is the most critical period for our China, directly concerning whether our China can rise as a strong nation from here on!"

"If there is not enough money, then we will reallocate funds from other projects, or issue trillions in national debt, exhausting the national strength of China!"

"If there are not enough people, we will conscript scientific researchers from scientific research institutes across the country to ensure the smooth operation of the project!"

"In short, we must concentrate the nation's strength of China to ensure victory in this hard battle and decisive battle that concerns the national destiny of China!"

After settling the matter, everyone discussed some details, and the time was already approaching 12 o'clock.

Looking at the excited appearance of Lin Mo on the video, everyone said helplessly.

"Comrade Lin Mo, the first phase of the Nantianmen Project only ended a few days ago, and we wanted to give you a vacation, but look at you!"

"You've made such a big move again. Looking at you, you didn't intend to rest at all."

"Since that is the case, you should handle the follow-up matters of the first phase project in these few days, and leave the preliminary preparations for the four major plans to us!"

Lin Mo smiled and then sincerely thanked them: "Thank you for your support!"

"Comrade Lin Mo will definitely live up to the high expectations!"

After briefly communicating about other matters, the video conference ended.

At this time, as the Rare Metal Superconductor floating on Lin Mo's desk disappeared from the big screen, the shocked Chief Designer Bai Yannian finally recovered.

"Rare Metal Superconductor..." Chief Designer Bai Yannian's face looked terrible.

"Rare metal, rare metal, why is it rare metal again?"

"If I had known that rare metal was so important, I..."

"Sigh! I am truly a sinner of China!"

Before this, due to the backwardness of mining technology, the mining of rare metal resources in China over the past few years had been developed jointly after signing framework agreements with countries like Germany and Eagle Country.

And this framework agreement was the work of Chief Designer Bai Yannian.

Because of this, China had signed many rare metal foreign trade orders with foreign countries in recent years, so much so that over 80% of the rare metal on the Blue Star market came from China.

"Yannian, don't blame yourself!"

"We have already pulled back from the brink and banned the export of rare metal resources; it is not too late!"

"If it weren't for Comrade Lin Mo, who would have thought that rare metal would be so important?"

General Yun Feijie spoke to comfort him. Thinking of China's terrifying rare metal resources, General Yun Feijie clicked his tongue and said, "But everyone, let's go back to the point."

"Such an important basic material as rare metal, and China actually occupies over 90% of the global reserves; it's simply outrageous!"

"I am now starting to suspect whether our ancestors in China buried it in the ground on purpose thousands of years ago!"

Long Jianjun frowned and said: "Now we must also consider confidentiality!"

"Since the superconducting material technology is so important, it cannot be exchanged like the previous alloy material technology; it must be kept strictly confidential!"

Upon hearing this, the others nodded one after another.

Other countries have more or less some reserves of rare metal resources, especially the arch-rival Eagle Country, which still occupies about 3% of the rare metal reserves. Don't think this 3% looks small; in reality, it is calculated in tens of thousands of tons!

Since the Rare Metal Superconductor is not like the rare metal alloy materials needed for heavy industry, the actual application in the nuclear fusion reactor is estimated to not require a large amount.

Therefore, for the sake of the country's interests, strict confidentiality is the most appropriate course of action!

This kind of new material technology, which is enough to spark a new generation of industrial revolution, must not be allowed to fall into the hands of other countries so quickly!

At this time, Chief Designer Bai Yannian on the side raised an objection: "This is not appropriate."

Upon hearing this, the others frowned and looked at Chief Designer Bai Yannian one after another.

But everyone knew that Chief Designer Bai Yannian would not speak without reason, so they waited for him to give a reasonable explanation.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian explained: "Everyone, I am not saying that we cannot keep it secret, but if we do that, Comrade Lin Mo's sacrifice will be too great!"

"Even if we provide heavy compensation to Comrade Lin Mo, it will be impossible to compensate for it!"

Hearing this, General Yun Feijie felt strange and asked: "Comrade Lin Mo's sacrifice is indeed very great, but China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and we are in charge of all of China's resources. Is there still a loss that we cannot compensate for?"
