This time, it was Gao Longshan's turn to remain silent. He thanked, "On behalf of the soldiers of Dragon Country, thank you."

After the call, everyone in the office breathed a sigh of relief. This task was extremely difficult and almost impossible to complete, but if it was Jiang Chen, they would have confidence.

"This is the summary of the meeting held by the higher-ups, as well as the planned research routes and programs. You can take a look at it first." Ye Xiaoyong handed over a CD, and Jiang Chen put it into the CD player to check the contents.

The office was silent, and everyone was staring at the screen, motionless, like statues.

"Is this the result of the academicians? It's amazing. It's simply astonishing."

"It's only been a dozen years since I left the front line of research. Are today's young people so talented?"

"I've long heard that Dragon Country can concentrate its efforts to accomplish great things, and now I've finally seen it. Other countries can't come up with such a great plan."

"I used to have a prejudice against Longguo's scientific research conditions, but now it seems that I was short-sighted."

The office seemed calm, but everyone's heart was in turmoil. The strength of the academicians was truly amazing. Their plans were meticulous, comprehensive, complete, and clear. As long as we followed the steps, we would surely succeed.

However, Jiang Chen shook his head. His movement was very slight, but it was still noticed by everyone.

"Why? Why did Jiang Chen shake his head? With such a perfect plan, is there anything he is not satisfied with?" Everyone was puzzled.

"No." Jiang Chen said suddenly, catching everyone off guard.

"What's wrong? Any questions? I think this plan is perfect."

"Even if we have just a few people to do it, we can't do it in such detail."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

"I know, this does look good." Jiang Chen said, "but it's more like an equipment blueprint, and it's still a bit incomplete. Although the ideas have been sorted out and people can proceed step by step, I don't want to do that."

"This plan is actually to follow the United States." Jiang Chen continued.

"Isn't this great? It can help us avoid many detours and overtake others." Mr. Cheng couldn't help but say.

Just like developing a nuclear bomb, people didn't know if it was feasible at first, but after Fat Man and Little Boy were dropped, the whole world was shocked. For a big country, it is only a matter of time before they want to develop a nuclear bomb.

"Overtaking on a curve is useless for scientific research. We can only be led by the nose. What if others do a good job of keeping secrets and don't announce them? Then won't we be able to just stand still?" Jiang Chen sneered.

Although his words were sharp, they were true. They immediately exposed the current situation and made everyone face the reality.

Want to overtake others in scientific research? Few countries can do it.

Everyone was silent. At this time, Jiang Chen's new assistant Valery broke the silence.

"Mr. Jiang is right. Scientific research should be aggressive and enterprising. How can we copy other people's homework?" Valeri said loudly.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"There is only one way now." Jiang Chen stood up, "Do as I say."

"Everyone listen carefully. If you want to make a breakthrough, you have to do as I say." Jiang Chen said seriously.

Everyone was hesitant. Although they had full confidence in Jiang Chen's ability, this plan was the result of the hard work of many experts and academicians, including some well-known big names. They had originally planned to act according to this plan, but now Jiang Chen asked them to abandon the original plan and start anew, which made them hesitate.

"I believe him." At this moment, Mr. Cheng suddenly stood up to endorse Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen has done things in the past few months that many people have not been able to do in decades. Our aircraft can surpass the United States, all thanks to him. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who can do it."

"So, I think it shouldn't be Jiang Chen who cooperates with others, but others who should cooperate with him. Let him do whatever he wants to do boldly. I will always support him." Mr. Cheng's words were firm and powerful.

The office fell into a brief silence. This matter was of great importance. To rashly change the original plan and propose a new plan would undoubtedly be seen as a willful act by others and would be difficult to be recognized. However, the more people knew Jiang Chen, the more they knew his strength.

"Those who agree with Jiang Chen's plan, please raise your hands." At this time, Valery suddenly spoke. Since becoming Jiang Chen's younger brother, he has always been very loyal, and this time is no exception.

"I agree."

"I agree."

"me too."

Everyone raised their hands, and no one objected. Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that if he wanted to do what he wanted, it would be impossible without the support of the people around him. Moreover, he needed the support of everyone.

"Just do whatever you want to do, and I'll help you write the report." Ye Xiaoyong said with a smile. As the chief engineer, he was very familiar with writing reports.

"Thank you." Jiang Chen nodded, already having some ideas in mind.

"I don't plan to follow the Americans' footsteps. Remember the reactor and artificial intelligence we mentioned before? At that time, you joked that you need a nuclear fusion reactor to power that electricity tiger." Jiang Chen said.

"Oh yes, I have an impression of that." Ye Xiaoyong responded.

"Now it's time to perfect the reactor, and we want to achieve stable nuclear fusion, not nuclear fission." Jiang Chen said confidently, "The main problem with nuclear fusion now is how to maintain a high temperature environment for a long time and ensure that the energy output is greater than the input. I am confident that these two points can be solved."

Everyone was very excited after hearing this. If Jiang Chen could really achieve stable nuclear fusion, it would be a major breakthrough that could change the world.

"If I can participate in such a major event in my lifetime, I will die without regrets."

"Yes, if I can really do it, maybe my name can be listed alongside scholars like Heisenberg and Gauss. Future students may have to learn my formulas and want to hit people when they see my photo." Hausen said jokingly, touching his beard.

Valery's idea was much simpler: "If we register a patent, then the position of the world's richest man might be ours." His eyes lit up and he was full of anticipation for the benefits of this technology.

Only Ye Xiaoyong lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. In fact, his thoughts were not dark, but rather somewhat funny: "I'm sure to get the Nobel Prize! Of course, it's mainly for Jiang Chen, but a participation award would be nice too."

Jiang Chen clapped his hands, bringing everyone's thoughts back to reality: "Everyone, don't be too happy too soon, it's not done yet. I have to think carefully about what to do and where to start. So, from now on, all of you get out."

Jiang Chen unceremoniously ordered them to leave.

"Young people are really direct in their words." Old Cheng smiled helplessly. He also knew that if Jiang Chen wanted to complete the next task, he had to stay absolutely focused.

Ye Xiaoyong was no longer surprised by this situation. When Jiang Chen was working on the light metal nuclear fission reactor, he was also alone in his office, thinking hard.

"Are the times for the three meals still the same as before?" Ye Xiaoyong asked.

"Yes, it's still the same." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Then I'll leave." Ye Xiaoyong said, and left the office with others.

Jiang Chen sat alone in front of the computer, opening the database and various design software, hoping to find inspiration from them.

"If I want to achieve stable nuclear fusion, what should I do? Where should I start?" Jiang Chen thought to himself.

At present, the research on room-temperature nuclear fusion is mainly achieved through superconducting magnets and tokamaks. Can I go one step further based on the work of my predecessors?

"By confining electromagnetic waves to achieve an ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure fusion environment for tritium and other hydrogen isotopes..." Jiang Chen had an idea in his mind, "I got it, I know how to do it!" Materials, everything has to start with the most basic materials.

A core problem facing this type of reactor is the material issue.

The material simply cannot withstand such extreme high temperature and high pressure, so we can only rely on magnetism to restrain the plasma and prevent it from directly contacting any object, otherwise the huge energy will be enough to blow up the entire laboratory.

Moreover, materials like wires cannot be 100% conductive and will always have some resistance, which will cause them to overheat and will not be able to withstand such energy.

But what if we could develop a material that has superconducting properties at room temperature?
As soon as this idea came up, Jiang Chen couldn't wait to try it out.

He devoted himself to this work with all his concentration, almost to the point of neglecting sleep and eating, with this matter being the only thing in his mind and eyes.

"Mr. Jiang hasn't left the office for several days."

"I wonder what's got him so focused."

"Yeah, I heard that an auntie who delivered food was shocked when she saw Jiang Chen's current state. His eyes were bloodshot and his dark circles were scary, as if he hadn't slept for several days and nights."

"There is such a thing. I hope nothing happens to him."

Employees were whispering in the cafeteria.

Although they didn't dare to speak out loud, the worry in their tone was evident.

After all, Jiang Chen's current condition was too abnormal.

Although Jiang Chen is their leader, he is very popular among the employees. He usually does not criticize or rush people, but teaches them how to do things patiently. Everyone always gains a lot in the process.

Therefore, no one wants anything to happen to Jiang Chen.

However, the most anxious ones were not them, but Gao Longshan.

"This kid actually vetoed the decision from above and hid in his office and refused to come out."

Gao Longshan was like a mouse in a bellows, being bullied from both ends.

He was under pressure from his superiors, but the factory directly denied his proposal. He was caught in the middle. As the commander of a military region, he ended up being a messenger.

"When he comes out, I will definitely ask him about it."

Gao Longshan thought to himself.

If Jiang Chen couldn't come up with anything, he would definitely scold him.

"How long has he been in there?"

Mr. Cheng asked with a worried look on his face.

The news released by the United States that day was not the end, but a beginning.

Not only did the experiment of extracting zero-point vacuum energy achieve a breakthrough, but news from other aspects also followed.

Superconducting magnets, room-temperature nuclear fusion, a unified formula for fundamental forces, a photolithography machine with higher precision that ignores the quantum tunneling effect, a 3D printer that can print out living things, and a new chemical element that can change the world have been discovered...

Whether in the fields of mathematics, materials, industry, physics or chemistry, new results are being published on a large scale like a blowout.

Some of these projects that collide with Jiang Chen’s research direction are now close to completion because Jiang Chen broke through that layer of window paper.

In the military industry, new concepts have also been proposed, such as anti-gravity aircraft, plasma weapons, high-energy particle weapons, etc.

The arrival of these good news has reversed the United States' downward trend. Coupled with the hype from those crazy candidates for president, the United States has a momentum of going against the trend and rising.

After all, the United States is the world's long-standing number one with a profound cultural heritage. As long as these black technologies are brought out, a large number of investors will immediately rush to invest.

If this momentum continues, the United States will soon return to the world's number one position.

This also made Mr. Cheng worried, fearing that this situation would really happen.

It would be fine if it didn't happen, but if it really happened, then those who delayed the plan to beat the fallen dog will be the first responsible persons.

The first ones to be liquidated are definitely not the expert groups who did their job well according to orders, but those who disobeyed orders.

Jiang Chen has been locking himself in his office and no one knows what results he has achieved, or even if he has achieved any results.

Pressure, enormous pressure hangs over everyone.

"Seven days."

Ye Xiaoyong replied.

"Scientific research is never a matter of one day or one night. It's just that Jiang Chen's previous speed was too fast, which gave everyone this illusion."

Having said that, Jiang Chen had given everyone too much expectations before.

It would be really disappointing if he didn't come up with anything this time!
"I hope so. The United States is well prepared this time. Their profound background cannot be offset by our progress in one or two areas."

Mr. Cheng said somewhat pessimistically.

When Baidi beat up the aircraft carrier before, how high-spirited everyone was? But now the United States regards Longguo as an all-out opponent, and all kinds of previously hidden black technologies have been brought out, which also makes people feel vaguely uneasy.

"Jiang Chen has his own ideas. He won't let us down."

While everyone was still discussing this matter, a loud noise suddenly came from the chief engineer's office.

It was the sound of people shouting.

"Success! I succeeded!"

People in the cafeteria not far away looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

This looks different from the usual Jiang Chen. Could it be that... he's crazy?

"Maybe we shouldn't expect too much from him."

"Yeah, he carries too many people's expectations, and it may be too heavy for him."

"Alas, it's all our fault." (End of this chapter)
