At seven o'clock in the evening, when Lao Hu woke up, he found Carter sitting in the living room with a sullen face, and Zhuge Lin was sitting beside him processing documents.

Hu Zhenhua greeted cheerfully,

"My friend, when did you arrive?"

He turned to Zhuge Lin again and pretended to scold him,

"Why didn't you wake me up!"

Zhuge Lin quickly admitted his mistake and said that he saw that Lao Hu was drunk and felt very uncomfortable, so he didn't have the heart to wake him up.

Carter was not interested in the double act between the two people and said coldly,

"How dare I disturb Chairman Hu's rest? I'll have to wait, not just four hours, even 40 hours!"

Seeing that this guy was full of resentment, Hu Zhenhua waved his hand, signaling Zhuge Lin to step aside, and he wanted to fight Carter personally.

Zhuge Lin stood up and left. When he reached the door, he pretended to suddenly remember something and said,

"Chairman, Mr. Carter hasn't had dinner yet. How about I ask someone to make some porridge?"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand and said impatiently,

"He's so full of anger, he's not hungry at all!"

When Carter heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He sat on the sofa and trembled slightly, obviously because of anger!

Hu Zhenhua certainly knew why he was angry. Americans are used to being domineering and like to take any benefits for themselves. Now that Hu's atomic energy research institute has settled in the Fog City, how could Carter not be angry!

This guy's situation is a bit bad. Although the incident of losing the plane has been left unresolved, it is still a stain after all. Carter urgently needs a remarkable achievement to make up for his mistake.

If we can move TA's R&D institute to the United States, it will obviously be a great achievement.

Unfortunately, he arrived a step too late, and Hu Zhenhua had already signed an agreement with Barron.

In fact, Carter's actions were not slow at all, but the Magic City was too far away from Bao'an County, and it would take half a day even by plane.

Barron was on the Xiangjiang River, just across the river from Bao'an County, so this arrogant gentleman took advantage of the distance.

Carter smoked two cigarettes angrily, and seeing that Lao Hu ignored him, he had to lower his posture and said sourly,

"There's an old Chinese saying: 'You only see the new laugh, but never the old cry.' Hu, we're starting to feel a little distant!"

Hu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"That phrase is used to describe the relationship between men and women. Don't use it carelessly!"

Carter was too lazy to argue with him and asked directly,

"I hope you can place the R&D headquarters of Henan Energy Company in the United States!"

The Peaceful Use of Atomic Energy Corporation is the abbreviation of the Peaceful Use of Atomic Energy Corporation. TA signed the agreement with the Gentleman Country in the name of this company.

Hu Zhenhua picked up the water cup on the table, moistened his throat, and grinned.

"Tell me your reasons."

“This is a great project that could only be accomplished in the greatest country!”

Old Hu chuckled twice and said,

"If the project is located in the United States, there will be no room for my plan to be implemented. Can you convince Congress to amend some provisions of the McMahon Act?"

老胡提到的这个方案,于1946年8月1日由白房子批准,并于1947年1月1日生效。

The law's foundation is a "data confidentiality" provision that strictly prohibits not only politicians, journalists, and other relevant personnel from gaining access to U.S. nuclear energy information, but also scientists, particularly foreign scientists. This law aims to prevent foreign countries from acquiring U.S. atomic energy-related technology, thereby maintaining the United States' dominant position and monopoly in the nuclear field.

Because of this bill, the Gentleman's Country was kicked out, and they had to start from scratch and resume the path of developing atomic weapons.

Carter fell silent after hearing Lao Hu's question. In the United States, the process of amending a bill is extremely cumbersome. First, someone proposes it. After the proposal is submitted to Congress, it will be assigned to the relevant committee for review.

After receiving the proposal, the relevant committee will hold a hearing, listen to opinions widely, and then vote. After the vote, the proposal will be submitted to the House of Representatives or the Senate for debate.

After the debate, the House of Representatives votes on the bill. In both the House and the Senate, a certain percentage of votes in favor are required for the bill to pass. For general bills, a simple majority (more than half) is usually required; for important bills, such as constitutional amendments, a higher percentage of votes in favor is required.

After the bill is passed by both houses, it is submitted to the President for signature. He can either sign the bill, making it formally a law, or veto it. If the bill is vetoed, Congress can try to override the President's veto, but this requires a higher percentage of votes in both houses.

Any link in this process involves the game between a large number of interest groups and is full of variables.

There was no possibility of changing the provisions of the McMahon Act, because at that time, the American people did not know that the polar bear firecracker had been successfully tested. Everyone was still immersed in the fantasy of the United States being the only superpower!

Carter's mind worked very quickly, and he asked,

"Since you know about this plan, you should understand the United States' determination to maintain its superiority in atomic energy! Hu, your plan is playing with fire!"
