It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Adam's pupils shrank violently!

"This, this is... an undergraduate thesis?!"

……

the next day.

USA, Stanford University.

Professor Collins came to the office early as usual.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

There was a quick knock on the door.

Professor Collins, who had just put his butt on the chair, frowned slightly.

"Who?!"

Professor Collins shouted in the direction of the door with a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"Professor! It's me!"

A panicked male voice came from the door.

It was the voice of his student Eden.

Professor Collins frowned, and replied in a low voice: "Come in!"

The next moment, the office door was pushed open, and a young man in his 30s rushed into the office in a panic.

"what happened?!"

Professor Collins said angrily, "Eden, I need an explanation!"

Eden walked up to Collins nervously, and put a document on the desk in front of him.

"Professor, this is a newly published paper in Science."

"I think... you should take a look."

Collins frowned even deeper.

He glanced at Eden dissatisfied: "Didn't I say, don't bother me before nine o'clock in the morning?"

Hearing this, Yiden's eyes suddenly showed a bit of anxiety: "Professor! This time is different! Xia Guo may soon master the technology of controllable nuclear fusion!"

Collins' complexion suddenly changed!

"What did you say?!"

He quickly picked up the papers on the table and read them carefully.

"Professor...is this true?" Eden asked anxiously.

Collins' face was a little ugly, and he didn't respond to the students' questions immediately.

"How is it possible...the stellarator can achieve 35 minutes of controlled nuclear fusion?!"

"This, this is impossible!"

You know, he initiated the proposal to eliminate stellarators in the United States!

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, the detailed data in the paper gave him big mouths one after another.

Chapter 31 Science and Technology Competition

No surprises.

This issue of "Science" caused quite a stir in the academic circles in the United States and even in the whole world.

Especially when people discovered that this paper published in the world's top journal "Science" turned out to be an undergraduate graduation thesis.

It has aroused heated discussions among countless people!

This paper even went viral in the academic circle!

On Twitter, countless netizens expressed their shock at this.

"God, why is there such a big gap between people?"

"WTF?! Graduating from a bachelor's degree is a science article, so what should I do after that?!"

"Are Xia Guo's undergraduates so good?!"

"Wait, why are your concerns so strange? Shouldn't you be paying attention to the content of the paper? Since being driven out of ITER, Xia's controllable nuclear fusion technology has surpassed that of America!"

"This is strange. I remember that ITER said that Xia Guo stole the experimental data. Does Xia Guo really like ITER's experimental data?"

"@艾伯伯特, Mr. President, come out and explain? Is the country of America going to be surpassed by the country of Xia?"

"@Albert, tell me, where is all our taxpayer money going?!"

……

Unlike those netizens on the Internet who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal, the office of the President of the United States at this time is filled with a depressive atmosphere.

"Oh!"

Albert, with his blonde hair, slapped the desk in front of him hard, and looked at the man in front of him with a gloomy expression.

"Anthony, I need an explanation!"

"Why did Xia Guo suddenly possess such advanced controllable nuclear fusion technology?!"

"And ITER, what are they doing? There are so many top scientists, but they can't compete with an undergraduate student from Xia Kingdom?"

"are you kidding me?!"

"You know what my followers are saying about me on Twitter?!"

Anthony looked gloomy, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

The white-haired Professor Collins took a step forward and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Excellency, this matter...is my mistake."

"Xia Guo's research on controllable nuclear fusion has exceeded my expectations."

Seeing Professor Collins speak, Albert's expression slowed down a little: "Then...professor, what do you think the United States should do next?"

Hearing the president's question, Collins' eyes flickered.

After pondering for a moment, Collins said slowly, "Your Excellency, the United States, we must act faster!"

"In terms of controllable nuclear fusion, we must not lag behind Xia Guo."

Albert nodded thoughtfully, then, with a slight movement in his eyes, he picked up a document from the desk and handed it to Professor Collins.

"Professor, Congress has agreed to your plan, even giving 10% more funding."

Professor Collins had a look of joy in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to pick up the document.

But Albert's voice sounded again.

"However, there is one condition."

"Congress requires that within three years, the first controllable nuclear fusion experimental device must be built!"

Collins' complexion changed drastically: "Mr. President, this is impossible!"

"Three years is too short!"

Collins shook his head like a rattle!

What a joke!

Three years to build a large tokmak device?

You must know that it took more than ten years to build the ITER thing!

three years?

It is estimated that the foundation has not been laid yet!

"I don't care about that, that's what Congress says." Albert shrugged and said indifferently, "If you can't do it, someone can replace you."

Professor Collins' face sank.

That's true.

This is fat difference!

In American academia, I don't know how many people are staring at this piece of fat!

Thinking of this, Collins had a bitter smile on his face.

"In that case...then I will try my best."

Albert nodded with satisfaction, and repeated it meaningfully: "Remember, you only have three years!"

Collins nodded bitterly.

……

That night, Albert's Twitter account uploaded a video.

In the video, Albert sat behind the president's desk with a serious face, and said solemnly: "First of all, on behalf of the United States, I congratulate Xia Guo for successfully running controllable nuclear fusion in the laboratory."

"In the past two days, I have seen many people ask me a question on Twitter."

"Is the country of America going to be overtaken by the country of Xia? Or, how is the development of controllable nuclear fusion technology in the country of America?"

"Here, I will answer your questions in a unified way."

"The United States has always been committed to the research of controllable nuclear fusion technology!"

"From now on, ITER will restart the controlled nuclear fusion experiment. At the same time, the United States will build a large-scale controlled nuclear fusion experimental device within three years!"

"Believe me, in three years, you will be able to use electricity from nuclear fusion!"

……

At the same time that Albert tweeted, Xia Guo News' official bib account posted a message.

Xiaguo News: From now on, the Xiaguo Controllable Nuclear Fusion Demonstration Reactor Project is officially approved.

Because of the time difference, the capital time at this moment is 6 o'clock in the morning.

Even so, in just a few minutes, countless spectators rushed into Xia Guoxin's scarf.

"Good guy! I call it good guy!"

"This is a demonstration reactor? It means...the controllable nuclear fusion technology is mature?"

"Fuck? Why do I feel like the sky has changed after waking up?"

"Interesting, the United States also released a message at the same time. Albert uploaded a video about controllable nuclear fusion on Twitter. If you are interested, you can check it out."

"I beg the boss to carry it!"

"Please move +1!"

"+10086!"

"..."

It has to be said that the efficiency of netizens is extremely powerful, especially when it comes to eating melons, they can always explode with unprecedented potential!

Within 10 minutes, a high-definition video with subtitles was uploaded to the bib.

Someone even simplified the content of the video, converted it into text, and compared it with the content released by Xia Guo News.

When the content of the two was put together by someone with a heart, public opinion completely exploded!

"Wow, shit, shit?! It feels like Xia Guo is going to fight Mi Guo!"

"Don't say it, it really smells like this!"

"I think of the arms race that the United States has engaged in before."

"..."

Following everyone's discussion, a new word instantly became a hot search for bibs!

"Science and Technology Competition"

Under the instruction of Xia Guo's high-level executives, Xia Guo News bib account quietly updated another bib.

"We will never forget the humiliation suffered by Xia's researchers during the ITER project!"
