116: Chapter 116 The "Golden Crow" reactor is completed, has passed safety tests, and is ready for ignition!

Trump said with a smile.

"China's scientific research plan for the next five years is quite vague!"

"They just threw out a few high-sounding goals without even a project schedule. It's obvious they're just trying to fool us!"

"At a time like this, if we announce the Eagle Country's five-year plan—which lists every detail clearly—and China hasn't prepared a response,"

"Caught off guard, they will inevitably show their true colors."

"When that happens, those shameless Chinese people will surely become the laughingstock of the international community!"

After hearing Trump's analysis,

Charles couldn't help but nod, also starting to feel a bit excited.

Relying on the test flight demonstration of the "Sovereign" fighter,

along with the incredibly domineering Eagle Country five-year plan,

they could at least wear down the influence of the "Xuannü" fighter!

Right at that moment,

Smith spoke up weakly.

"Sir, how should we deal with that Exoskeleton Armor?"

Hearing this,

Trump and Charles's expressions darkened,

as if a bucket of cold water had been poured directly over them,

and their spirits cooled by half.

Only managing the response regarding the fighters

only solved half the problem.

At the upcoming China Military Industry equipment exhibition, the heaviest hitter isn't actually the "Xuannü" Aerospace Fighter,

but rather the "Kunlun" Individual Exoskeleton Armor, whose performance parameters will be fully disclosed, which has been tested in actual combat exercises, and which will be open for military sale to all nations on the Blue Planet!

Against this epoch-making army equipment,

the nations of the Western Alliance have absolutely no new military hardware that can compare!

No matter how much effort the Eagle Country International Airshow puts in, it will at most only whittle away a tiny bit of influence.

This time, the disadvantageous position

is something they are forced to accept no matter what!

Trump's face remained grim.

The Exoskeleton Armor was like a thorn driven into the hearts of all Eagle Country high-level officials that could not be pulled out!

"Regarding that Exoskeleton Armor, we indeed have no good way to respond right now. We can only swallow our pride for the time being!"

"However, there are still many things we can do!"

Trump said viciously.

"Smith, you've finished the investigation into the person in charge of the Nantianmen Project, right?"

Smith nodded.

He handed over an intelligence report

and introduced it.

"The investigation is complete, sir!"

"The main person in charge of China's Nantianmen Project is Professor Ai Chongfeng's student, Lin Mo!"

"But there is another key piece of news: Professor Ai Chongfeng himself is also participating in the Nantianmen Project and is one of the project's high-level members!"

Trump sneered.

Making a student who just graduated from university

the nominal project leader?

Even if you, China, want to cover things up

and hide the mastermind behind the scenes,

you should at least find a more plausible front!

Smith continued: "Our Intelligence Agency has analyzed all the intelligence and reached a conclusion."

"Lin Mo may indeed be a once-in-a-century genius in China and must have made certain contributions to the Nantianmen Project,"

"but the core figure should be his mentor, Professor Ai Chongfeng!"

Trump nodded,

in full agreement.

He thought so too!

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Trump's eyes,

and he said in a cold tone: "The sooner, the better!"

"Make Professor Ai Chongfeng the primary target and Lin Mo the secondary target!"

"Activate our highest-level agents within China and have the Japan death squads hidden in China cooperate with them."

"Organize a tight assassination operation in the near future. We must ensure success in one stroke!"

"If both targets cannot be eliminated together, priority must be given to taking out Professor Ai Chongfeng!"

"No matter what, I cannot allow Ai Chongfeng to remain alive in this world!"

...

Days passed by.

During these ten or so days,

Lin Mo once again displayed the spirit of a desperate workaholic.

He was always fighting on the front lines of the two project working groups,

personally handling everything.

He oversaw the assembly of the superconducting coil clusters and the assembly of the laser ignition devices.

Day and night,

night and day,

he only returned to his office to rest for an hour each day,

yet he seemed perfectly fine,

completely refreshed!

Then, he would throw himself back into the front-line work with a hundred times the energy...

Many people had heard rumors about Lin Mo's terrifying sleeping talent.

But after seeing it for themselves,

everyone was thoroughly convinced!

It could be said that everyone had already pushed themselves to the limit, sleeping less than five hours a day!

After pushing through for four or five days, they would finally be unable to hold on and would take a full night's sleep to recover.

But Lin Mo was simply incredible;

he didn't sleep when the moon was up, and he was up before the sun.

Yet his hair remained thick and black,

without a trace of the 'balding' spirit common among researchers.

Who the hell could stand that?

Impressed,

they could only say they were deeply impressed!

What everyone didn't know was that

even after returning to the office,

Lin Mo never truly rested.

After closing his eyes to rest for a few minutes,

he would immediately open them and continue working, constantly calculating, proving, and refining subsequent tasks.

Under Lin Mo's personal leadership,

the progress of the two major working groups of Project Houyi

advanced at a terrifying speed!

Driven by Lin Mo,

everyone worked with more and more enthusiasm because the dawn was just ahead!

Time flew,

and after a heavy rain in Lu City, Anhui Province,

the weather turned completely cold,

officially announcing the arrival of late autumn.

With the clear and crisp autumn weather,

the date reached November 4th,

which was now the fifteenth day after the launch of Project Houyi.

In the Nuclear Power Operation Research Institute,

in the southeast corner,

inside the large-scale thermonuclear fusion test site,

a large group of people looked tense.

Located right in the center of the test site

was an ultra-large fully superconducting Tokamak magnetic confinement device, 45 meters in diameter and 30 meters high, with an ellipsoidal shape.

It was the completed "Jinwu" thermonuclear fusion reactor!

Around the reactor,

various precise instruments were scattered,

and many engineers were busy conducting inspections.

"Superconducting magnetic system inspection complete, all parameters correct!"

"High-energy laser ignition system inspection complete, all parameters correct!"

"Cold screen, outer vacuum cryostat, and plasma-facing heat-resistant system inspections complete, all parameters correct!"

"Lower hybrid wave current drive system, all parameters correct!"

"..."

"Master control system, all parameters correct!"

Under Xiang Guangming's command,

all the engineers worked intensely,

carrying out the final stage of comprehensive performance testing.

Other researchers waited anxiously in the observation room.

Every report of "parameters correct"

added another layer to their excitement.

"Master control system final inspection complete, all parameters..."

"Correct!"

"Comprehensive testing fully complete. The 'Jinwu' nuclear fusion reactor has passed all performance tests!"

"It passed! It passed!"

"Success! We've succeeded!"

In the observation room,

deafening cheers erupted instantly.

...

(Thanks for the support and power generation)
