On the other side of the ocean, America.

Inside the Oval Office of the President in the White House.

A Chinese newspaper lay quietly on the president's desk.

The big red characters on the newspaper are particularly bright against the black and white background!

"good news! The nuclear physics laboratory of Sandaokou University successfully ignited the controllable nuclear fusion! "

"Boom!"

There was a sound of slapping the table.

The presidential desk made of mahogany trembled violently.

"fxxk!"

An obese middle-aged man with blond hair sat behind the desk, his face flushed, and he shouted sharply: "Damn it!"

"Anthony, can you explain this to me?"

Hearing the angry reprimand of the middle-aged man in front of him, the man called Anthony stepped forward, shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Your Excellency Albert, I don't think there is anything to explain."

"What? There's nothing to explain? This is the reply you gave me as the Minister of Defense?!" The muscles on both sides of the blond middle-aged man's cheeks trembled slightly, and even his golden bangs trembled twice.

"Tell me Anthony, what did you tell me then?"

"As long as Xia Guo is expelled from the ItER project, we can always maintain a leading position in controllable nuclear fusion." Albert imitated Anthony's tone of voice vividly, "If I remember correctly, this is your original talk?"

Anthony watched this scene with an ugly face.

"Now? Anthony, tell me, what is written in this newspaper?!"

Albert angrily picked up the newspaper on the table and dropped it on the floor in front of Anthony!

Anthony's mouth twitched slightly.

He looked down at the newspaper carefully.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Then, he said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, I can't read Chinese!"

Obviously, Anthony's reply completely exceeded Albert's expectations.

Albert opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Anthony in disbelief: "Anthony, you..."

"Okay! Very good!" Albert even laughed angrily, "If you can't read Chinese, let me tell you what is written on it!"

"The newspaper said that Xia Guo has successfully conducted a controllable nuclear fusion ignition experiment! Do you understand?"

Anthony nodded expressionlessly, "Yeah."

"So?" Albert sneered, "Is this your reply to me?"

Anthony took a deep breath: "Your Excellency, I hope you will take a good look at this report before speaking, instead of complaining to me directly."

"As one of the member states of ItER, Xia Guo naturally has a part of controllable nuclear fusion technology."

"In my opinion, there is basically no need to worry about this so-called ignition experiment. They are still far away from truly mastering controllable nuclear fusion!"

The expression on Albert's face softened a bit.

After he calmed down, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he asked again.

"you mean……"

Anthony stretched out his hand and pointed behind him: "Your Excellency, let the professionals explain this expertise to you."

With that said, Anthony turned sideways and said, "Professor Collins, it's your time now."

A gray-haired old man walked forward slowly with a cane, and saluted Albert respectfully: "Hello, Your Excellency President."

Albert frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he asked softly, "If I remember correctly, you should be the team leader professor who was sent to ItER a few years ago, right?"

A look of excitement flashed in Professor Collins' eyes: "Yes, Your Excellency, I didn't expect you to remember me!"

Albert nodded slightly, and said with a slightly arrogant expression: "Why, do you want to explain something to me?"

Professor Collins nodded quickly, and then said hastily: "Your Excellency, I don't think you need to worry about this news about Xia Guo."

Albert's eyes moved slightly, and he gestured for him to continue talking, while he adjusted a more comfortable sitting posture.

"I have read Xia Guo's report. The controllable nuclear fusion device they used this time is a stellarator, not a traditional tokamak device."

Hearing this, Albert frowned tightly.

He has some impression of the tokmak device.

After all, a large part of the Tokmak device in the ItER plan was made by the United States.

But that stellarator... what is it?

He looked at Professor Collins in front of him with some doubts: "Professor, the stellarator you just mentioned..."

Seeing the puzzled look in Albert's eyes, Professor Collins suddenly realized: "Your Excellency, you don't need to know what a stellarator is. You just need to know that the stellarator device is a device that has been eliminated by us."

"The reason for the elimination is simple. Its cost is too high, and it is too difficult to manufacture, which can easily lead to nuclear fusion failure."

"I can probably guess the source of the stellarator at Sandaokou University in the Xia Kingdom. It should be a nearly scrapped stellarator in country d a few years ago."

Albert looked at Professor Collins in disbelief: "Are you sure? A scrap stellarator can successfully ignite nuclear fusion?!"

Obviously, Albert didn't really believe what Professor Collins said.

Professor Collins nodded vigorously: "Your Excellency, you should be clear that the quality of things from country D has always been good."

"I guess this is also the reason why Xia Guo was able to succeed."

"But this kind of obsolete thing is definitely not reliable. Therefore, you can see that the controllable fusion time of Xia Guo is only two minutes."

"Perhaps you don't know, the current Tokmak device of ItER can already extend the maintenance time of controllable nuclear fusion to 26 minutes!"

These words of Professor Collins made Albert's stiff face warm up a lot.

"Then... from your point of view, Xia Guo's research on controllable nuclear fusion..."

"Impossible! It is absolutely impossible for Xia Guo to complete the research on controllable nuclear fusion on the stellarator!" Professor Collins said firmly without the slightest hesitation, "The stellarator has long been proven to be a thankless road. !"

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Albert's face.

As long as Xia Guo cannot master controllable nuclear fusion, the status of Mi Guo will not be shaken!

"It's just...Your Excellency, there is something I want to tell you." Professor Collins' eyes flashed a bit of hesitation.

"Say!" Perhaps because he had just learned a good news, Albert nodded slightly with a faint smile on his lips.

"Your Excellency, the United States should also build its own controllable nuclear fusion device." Professor Collins said anxiously, "We can't keep sharing the experimental results with ItER!"

"In the next experiment, ItER is going to extend the controllable nuclear fusion time to more than 30 minutes. If it succeeds... perhaps, the era of human beings mastering controllable nuclear fusion is coming. We in the United States should make preparations in advance."
