177: Chapter 177 A Miracle from Heaven: My Wife is Going to Give Birth

When the news of the Dragon Country's breakthrough in Controlled Nuclear Fusion broke out.

Sri Lanka.

had already fallen into white-hot chaos.

"We want oil!"

"We want low-cost energy!"

Countless people stormed the presidential palace of Sri Lanka.

However.

The President of Sri Lanka had already fled the presidential palace.

He was hiding at the airport, trembling.

He wanted to leave the country.

But the airport staff would not let him leave.

"What should we do?"

The President's accompanying family members asked the President in despair.

Once the public found out the President had fled to the airport, they would likely rush over and tear them to pieces.

The President sighed: "Unless a miracle descends from the heavens!"

During this period, due to the expansion of the oceans and the backflow of seawater, the country suffered from energy shortages and soaring prices, leaving the people unable to make a living.

Coupled with his limited organizational ability, he could no longer control the situation.

That was why he decided to flee.

But he hadn't expected.

to be recognized by the airport staff.

He couldn't even leave the country's borders.

Just as the President and his party were in despair, an international news report came from inside the airport terminal.

[The Dragon Country's Controlled Nuclear Fusion has reached commercial standards; it is expected that a Controlled Nuclear Fusion power plant will be operational in half a year!]

[The fourth great technological revolution of mankind has officially begun!]

Then came some shots of the relevant researchers from the Longke Academy.

The President of Sri Lanka just glanced at the TV.

He was instantly dumbfounded.

The rest of his accompanying family members were also stunned.

Controlled Nuclear Fusion?

A breakthrough?

"A miracle!"

"A miracle!"

"This is a miracle!"

After being dumbfounded, the President of Sri Lanka suddenly, in his excitement, took off his suit, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it fiercely.

With Controlled Nuclear Fusion, who cares about oil anymore!

With Controlled Nuclear Fusion, energy is limitless; not even a dog would want oil energy anymore!

"Mr. President, this was invented by the Dragon Country; what does it have to do with us?"

An accompanying aide, seeing the President so excited, could not help but be puzzled.

Even if there was a breakthrough in Controlled Nuclear Fusion, it would benefit the Dragon Country first.

Sri Lanka?

That would take forever!

The President glared at him: "What Mr. President? I am the island master of the Dragon Country's overseas island, Sri Lanka."

As he spoke.

He calmly loosened his tie and threw it away as well.

Looking at the crowd rushing in from outside.

He picked up a megaphone and said.

"Everyone!"

"I know you want energy, low-cost energy. There is an opportunity now; it just depends on whether you are willing to seize it!"

The President stood on a high place and spoke loudly into the megaphone.

The crowd that rushed in immediately shouted upon hearing this.

"Stop trying to fool us. Our country is already bankrupt, you have no credibility left, just hand over your assets."

The President saw that the public no longer trusted him.

So he pointed to the Controlled Nuclear Fusion news playing on the TV and shouted.

"This was achieved by the Dragon Country."

"Why would we still use oil energy!"

"Limitless energy, it won't cost money anymore!"

The public finally noticed the nuclear fusion breakthrough on the news.

Everyone immediately started whispering to each other.

Soon.

Someone said loudly.

"That's the Dragon Country's. By the time it reaches us, it'll be too late!"

"Exactly! You bastard, you're trying to fool us again!"

Seeing this, the President quickly said: "That's why I said the opportunity is here; it just depends on whether you are willing to seize it!"

"What opportunity?"

"A referendum to become an overseas subsidiary island of the Dragon Country!"

The President said firmly.

As far as he knew, the Dragon Country's Penglai Island could no longer serve as a maritime port due to the expansion of the oceans.

And Sri Lanka was a larger island.

Its geographical location was extremely unique: Somalia to the west, Malacca to the east, and the Antarctic continent to the south.

It was more than enough to become the Dragon Country's new Penglai Island.

"A referendum to become a subsidiary island? I object!"

"Object my ass, I want energy! I want low-cost energy!"

"I support the referendum!"

After looking at each other in confusion, the crowd suddenly erupted into two opposing sides.

Some were opposed.

Some wanted to get the energy dividends from Controlled Nuclear Fusion.

Because it was too intense.

The two groups even started fighting.

Seeing this, the President quickly took his entourage and slipped out of the airport terminal.

"At least there is a turning point!"

The President thought to himself.

He had someone contact Sister Li, which was at the port, immediately.

Meanwhile, in the aircraft carrier's command room.

Xue Yao felt a bit unwell.

She touched her belly and murmured: "How long has it been? Could morning sickness have started already?"

"And I don't know how many babies there are."

She thought.

Suddenly, she received a message from the President of Sri Lanka.

She took the documents brought by the staff officer and saw that they wanted a referendum to join the Dragon Country.

To become the new Penglai Island.

"The news of Controlled Nuclear Fusion has only been out for the first day, and there's already a country on the verge of bankruptcy wanting to hold a referendum to become a subsidiary island of the Dragon Country?"

Xue Yao was a bit surprised.

But after thinking about it carefully.

She understood.

As early as ancient times, the Huaxia civilization was the orthodox power in Asia.

Its influence was immense!

Although it did not conquer the surrounding countries, it had many tributary states.

To the east, it could radiate to the Eastern Barbarians.

To the south, it could radiate to Southeast Asia.

To the west... during the era of Genghis Khan, it could even radiate to Western Europe.

This Sri Lanka was not far from Southeast Asia.

In this crisis, it was actually the first to want to become a tributary state.

"But I can't decide this, I have to report it."

Xue Yao had someone relay the news back to the country.

She was just driving the ship; matters of expanding territory should be left to others.

Just then.

She felt a wave of nausea in her throat.

She ran to the bathroom, her face slightly flushed.

Looking at herself in the mirror, looking very much like a pregnant woman, she took out her phone and called Jiang Chen.

"Darling, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Jiang Chen was in Zhongsha City, preparing to head to the capital's Ministry of Science and Technology to accept the title of National Scholar.

Suddenly receiving a call from Xue Yao, he stopped immediately.

Xue Yao pouted, feeling very aggrieved, and said: "Hubby, I'm going to give birth!"

"What! You're going to give birth?"

Jiang Chen was greatly shocked.

He quickly said: "Wait for me, I'll be there right away!"

After saying that.

He hung up the phone.

He said to the group accompanying him, including Xia Zhongxun: "Dean, my wife is going to give birth, I have to go!"

"Ah? So fast?"

Xia Zhongxun was a bit confused.

As an aircraft carrier commander, Xue Yao had a full physical examination before boarding the fleet.

How could she suddenly be about to give birth?

Pregnancy takes ten months.

It hasn't been more than half a year since Xue Yao's last physical exam on the ship, right?

How could she suddenly be about to give birth?

However.

Jiang Chen could no longer care about that much.

Maybe his wife was gifted and could give birth in two months?

He made a prompt decision, drove a small fishing boat, and headed towards Sri Lanka at twenty times the speed of sound.

"Jiang Chen's IQ is dropping a bit too fast!"

Xia Zhongxun couldn't help but shake his head.

Is this still the number one contributor to Controlled Nuclear Fusion?

He doesn't even know about the ten-month pregnancy!

"Dean, what about the National Scholar Medal from the capital?"

A subordinate asked Xia Zhongxun.

"What else can we do? Just say this kid went to deliver his wife's baby, and we, the Longke Academy, will collectively bring this medal back for him!"
