Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

Having said that, he strode confidently toward the dark, star-studded portal.

A group of fully armed soldiers followed without hesitation.

Fang Jing stood in front of the spatial gate, also very curious.

He used to travel through time using that machine, so he wondered what the experience would be like with this new portal.

Following Elder Zhu, we stepped into the spatial portal.

Everything went black, and when he could see clearly again, he found himself in the world of The Wandering Earth.

"Eh?"

"It's like walking through a door with a curtain..."

"I don't feel anything."

……

In the underground space of The Wandering Earth, Zhou Zhe stared wide-eyed at the suddenly appearing pitch-black sphere emitting starlight.

"This is...this is the portal!"

Zhou Weirong stared at the sphere in the distance, his mouth agape, utterly shocked.

They never expected the portal to look like this!

What appeared before them completely overturned their understanding.

In particular, an elderly man with white hair but extremely bright eyes slowly walked out of the spatial portal.

"You must be Mr. Zhu!"

Zhou Zhe's eyes flickered, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately went to greet him.

He solemnly shook hands with Old Zhu!

This is a historic meeting.

Representatives from two different universes of China officially shook hands!

Deeper cooperation—

Officially begin!

……

Xishan Base.

Jiang Xu sat meticulously in the control room of the tokamak nuclear fusion device, his fists clenched, cold sweat constantly seeping from his forehead.

This was the 567th experiment he had led since arriving at the Xishan base.

half year ago.

He was falsely accused of stealing ITER data, which led to China being kicked out of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project.

Although his superiors and colleagues all knew that he was framed.

However, he always harbored a slight resentment in his heart.

Because of him, China may fall behind in the research of controlled nuclear fusion!

Energy revolution!

Whoever controls energy controls the fate of the world.

This can be proven by the fact that the United States has maintained the petrodollar hegemony for seventy years, and although it has declined, it has not fallen!

Jiang Xu absolutely will not allow China to miss out on its leading position in controlled nuclear fusion because of him!

In fact, China has always been at the forefront of the world in the research of thermonuclear fusion and tokamaks.

This advantage must not be lost in his hands!

Fortunately, the Xishan base still has a complete set of tokamak devices, which allows him to continue his research.

"Drip-drip-"

"The experimental results are in: the plasma stabilized at 1.6 million degrees Celsius, and the confinement time was 650 seconds!"

Looking at the results on the computer screen, Jiang Xu clenched his fists tightly and roared excitedly:

"Another record broken! Only 350 seconds left to achieve fusion self-sufficiency!"

"The first wall is undamaged, and the active cooling system is working properly."

"Great! The new material has blocked the neutron collisions. This material seems entirely feasible at the moment!"

Jiang Xu's eyes were filled with excitement.

He wanted to wash away the shame on his body with blood, and to prove to those at home and abroad who were unaware of the truth:

He, Jiang Xu, did not steal ITER data!

This is a frame-up.

This is blatant political persecution!

The only way to prove it is—

He presented a result that was more perfect, more advanced, or closer to controlled nuclear fusion than ITER!

He dared not hope that controlled nuclear fusion would be fully realized in his hands.

However, he must achieve results even better than ITER!

"I need more data on this material!"

Realizing that the first wall material provided by the Xishan base was extraordinary, Jiang Xu's eyes lit up, and he prepared to continue the experiment.

"Old Jiang, it's already four in the morning, are you still going to continue?"

Jiang Xu's colleague, seeing that he wanted to continue the experiment, quickly grabbed his hand.

Brother, you really are a big brother.

We've already changed shifts twice!

You've become addicted to staying up all night.

"We're getting closer. This is the closest I've ever been to controlled nuclear fusion. The temperature has been reached, and the first wall has blocked the neutron radiation. If this can be sustained for 1000 seconds, proving its stability, I can persuade Professor Zhu to build a larger facility!"

"This device will definitely surpass ITER, and once the problem of plasma turbulence is solved, it may even be able to achieve true controlled nuclear fusion!"

The distance between 650 seconds and 1000 seconds.

This was the first time Jiang Xu felt that controlled nuclear fusion was so close to him.

They were just one step away from victory!

And the most important thing is.

650 seconds, and I handled the first wall with ease!

He felt that 1000 seconds was not a problem at all.

"Continue the experiment. This time, the target is 675 seconds. Focus on observing the reaction of the first wall!"

Although he was excited, Jiang Xu never forgot the rigorous spirit of science.

Being reckless is a big no-no!

He estimated a 25-second improvement based on the data from the first wall.

He wants to push it step by step to 1000 seconds.

Wash away the humiliation he suffered!

Chapter 79 A welcome sight: the first signs of division

According to his colleagues, Jiang Xu is a very serious and conscientious person.

Being serious and meticulous means that he values ​​his reputation highly.

Therefore, the slander from the United States caused him endless humiliation, both physically and mentally.

This is also why he stayed up all night to achieve success and prove himself.

"Alright, we'll risk our lives to keep you company, but Old Jiang, you at least have to make sure you get some sleep every day."

Upon hearing Jiang Xu's words, his colleague sighed helplessly and then immediately began preparing to continue the experiment.

Old Jiang treated them all very well and was very popular at the research institute.

Since he's willing to go all out, let's do it for our friends!

"Don't worry, this is the last time. Get ready to heat the deuterium-tritium gas."

Jiang Xu smiled at his old colleague.

He was about to say something when he suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Why are there footsteps outside the door?

It's so late, and besides them, there are still people around?!
