578: Chapter 577 To get a good loot box, you have to find a stronghold first!

"Hello, Professor Disser."

Xiang Guangming shook his hand.

After a few brief pleasantries, Professor Disser changed the subject, steering the conversation toward the "Jinwu" Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology.

"...I am very interested in your country's Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology, especially regarding the stability of the plasma confinement field. I have some immature thoughts and was wondering if I could discuss them with you?"

Professor Disser's questions sounded normal, like a purely academic discussion.

Xiang Guangming was very sharp and immediately sensed something unusual in the other party's overly professional and highly targeted questions.

These questions already went beyond the scope of what a visiting professor should be concerned with.

Xiang Guangming's eyes narrowed slightly, but his face remained calm and composed.

He smiled and answered Professor Disser's questions in a way that seemed professional but actually evaded the main points, neither revealing any core information nor letting the other party feel he lacked deep expertise.

Professor Disser kept throwing out all sorts of tricky professional questions.

While Xiang Guangming, like a slippery loach, was always able to neutralize the other party's probing in an extremely clever way.

Zhao Ming, standing not far away, watched everything unfold.

When the banquet ended, Professor Disser seemed to realize that it was almost impossible to get any substantive information out of that old fox, Xiang Guangming.

There was a hint of regret on his face, but it was replaced by more admiration as he solemnly handed Xiang Guangming a business card.

"Respected Academician Xiang, your talent has left a deep impression on me."

"I yearn for Chinese culture and hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to join the Global Top Talent Sharing Program and participate in those high-tech projects you lead, to help share your burdens."

Xiang Guangming took the business card and nodded with a smile.

Watching Professor Disser's back as he turned and left, a cold glint that was difficult to detect flashed in Zhao Ming's eyes.

Late at night.

Inside the top-tier VIP suite of the Black Palace, the room was brightly lit, but the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Xiang Guangming sat in front of a wide desk, with a dozen business cards received at the banquet tonight neatly laid out on the table in front of him.

Zhao Ming was to the side, opening his laptop and connecting to the network to start searching rapidly.

Names and resumes flashed rapidly across the screen.

Zhao Ming's fingers danced on the keyboard, his brain rapidly processing massive amounts of information—filtering, comparing, correlating—searching for those hidden clues.

"How is it? Any discoveries?" Xiang Guangming asked.

Zhao Ming shook his head.

Through internal channels, he had thoroughly investigated everyone who had taken the initiative to chat with Xiang Guangming tonight and shown unusual enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, he hadn't found any flaws.

Xiang Guangming smiled: "It's fine, just continue to act according to the plan."

"If you want a big catch, you have to chum the waters first."

The next morning.

Black Palace press conference hall.

Hundreds of reporters from all over the world, as well as representatives from the fifty countries of North America, packed the entire hall to capacity.

Everyone's gaze was focused on the center of the podium.

After a brief opening statement by Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan, Xiang Guangming walked onto the stage.

On the giant holographic screen behind him, a 3D model of a toroidal fusion reactor, filled with a sense of futuristic technology, instantly appeared—it was the "Jinwu" fusion reactor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and media friends!"

"Today, I stand here to announce to everyone a major piece of news that is enough to change the course of human civilization!"

Xiang Guangming's voice, through the amplification equipment, clearly spread throughout the entire hall.

"China will fully implement the 'Jinwu Overseas Project' for Controlled Nuclear Fusion power generation in North America!"

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The entire press hall instantly erupted!

The reporters and representatives from the fifty countries present all stood up excitedly, their faces filled with expressions of disbelief.

Controlled Nuclear Fusion!

This was the super-technology hailed as the "ultimate energy source"!

Ever since China announced that it had successfully mastered this technology, the global energy landscape had already been completely rewritten.

And now, China was actually willing to open up this technology to the North America continent, which was still struggling in the quagmire of the crazy laughter disease?
