563 The Overjoyed President (2/4)

Chapter 563 The Overjoyed President (24)

It wasn't just Yan Yan who was scolded.

At the White House on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the director of the CIA was also scolded.

"What a bunch of trash!"

"Do we have to wait for the people of Huaguo to tell us every time before we know what happened there? This is the first time! Tell me loudly!"

He has not slept for 24 hours till now.

Even the foundation could hardly cover up the thick blue eye bags.

However, that furious expression made him look energetic at the moment, and he didn't look sleepy at all.

And, it went pretty smoothly.

For him, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Not to mention that all the plans were disrupted, at least he was already in a rather passive situation.

If they can't keep up in this field within the next three years, by then controlled fusion reactors will be blooming all over the other side of the Pacific Ocean, what else will they have to compete?

Tariff?

Or oil prices?

Seriously, will they even care then?

There is an essential difference between the transformation of the productivity of the whole society and the improvement of market competitiveness brought about by the improvement of technology. It's like improving the wheels to make the carriage run faster and more stable, but no matter how fast and stable the carriage runs, it is impossible to beat the car.

Standing by the desk, Gina explained with a heavy expression.

"I admit that we have serious dereliction of duty in this area of ​​intelligence work, but this cannot be completely blamed on our intelligence personnel...The whole Haizhou is full of their eyeliners, as long as there are foreigners' faces, they will be targeted .Including the information on their ignition, which was also provided by our allies in Asia at great risk...but no one expected that they set the time on the day before New Year's Day, not the day of New Year's Day."

Most importantly, it all happened so suddenly.

Any intelligence network takes time to build.

Especially when the other party is also carrying out counterintelligence work, it is particularly difficult to infiltrate.

It has not even been a year since the demonstration reactor project started.

No one expected that the Hua people would move so quickly.

Especially with historical experience in front of us, ITER has spent nearly 20 years from site selection to subcontracting to complete the project. Not only the White House did not think they would complete the project so quickly, but even the heads of several national laboratories and academician-level consultants of the Energy Administration believed that this was impossible.

So much so that after Huaguo withdrew from the ITER project, most people thought they had lost the chance to shake hands with the future.

However, the reality is just the opposite.

It wasn't them who withdrew from the agreement that was left behind.

but the world...

However, the president didn't want to hear his explanation, and cursed, "Eat shit."

Gina's face was livid, but she couldn't say a word.

At this time, footsteps suddenly came from the door of the office.

Appearing at the door was Helms, and Secretary of State Mike.

When the two appeared in the office, the president and Gina looked at him at the same time.

Gina, in particular, narrowed her eyes dangerously as she stared at Helms.

That look seemed to be asking——

"You still have the face to appear here?"

He shuddered subconsciously. Helms was about to explain something, but Mike next to him patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to feel relieved.

Then, looking at the president, Mike said with a smile and opened his arms.

"The situation is not as bad as we imagined, at least a little bit of good things happened."

The president snorted coldly.

"Is it? At this juncture, I can't imagine anything else that could be called good."

"Of course that kind of thing exists." Mike smiled and glanced at Helms next to him. "Just now, our Mr. Helms made up for his mistakes. Helms, take your good The news to the President."

Glancing at Gina apprehensively, Holmes coughed a little nervously, and spoke quickly.

"Just two hours ago, according to the news from our informant in Huaguo... Lu Zhou, the chief designer of the demonstration reactor project, passed out on the spot after the successful experiment, and is now lying in the intensive care unit of No. 301 Hospital. , although the cause of his coma and the specific symptoms cannot be determined, the possibility that he may become a vegetative state cannot be ruled out..."

The president froze.

Gina, the director of the CIA, was also stunned.

Lu Zhou... fell down?

Maybe even become a vegetable?

The next second, the president, who was still sitting on the office chair, stood up excitedly as if he had been electrocuted, and even punched the table with his fist.

"Hahaha! Well done, it looks like Lady Luck is on our side in the end!"

Although controllable nuclear fusion technology has been researched, Lu Zhou is not so important to them.

But when he heard the news, he couldn't help pumping his fists and applauding.

This nasty guy actually passed out.

Better not ever wake up!

Seeing that the president was in a good mood, and his immediate superior also looked relieved, Helms breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to add: "I still hold the previous point of view. A key figure, or not paying enough attention to him."

"According to my investigation, that Professor Lu can be said to be the core of the entire controllable fusion demonstration reactor project. To a large extent, it is not only because of the administrative instructions from the high-level Huaguo, but also because of the fact that dozens of research units can be brought together. He has his personal academic prestige, and he himself has a clear idea for the realization of controllable fusion technology."

"If there is a problem with his health, Huaguo's controllable nuclear fusion business will undoubtedly come to a standstill. According to the director of the Lawrence National Laboratory, even if they have seized the opportunity in the research of controllable fusion, The distance we are left behind is not very far. What's more, there are our allies. The Europeans' desire for fusion energy is not inferior to ours. They have been restrained by the Russians for too long on natural gas. As long as we are united enough , we still have a chance to catch up in the end.”

At most, it just takes a little time.

Hearing this, everyone's face showed joy.

A smile appeared on the face of the Secretary of State: "I said, there are still good things happening.

President: "And then?"

There is no impenetrable wall in the world.

In the information age, nothing can be kept secret forever.

Either is a good thing.

Still bad.

At most, just know sooner or later.

The next day, on the fourth page of the "Washington Star", a piece of news that seemed to have nothing to do with lace news was published.

That is, Lu Zhou, the Nobel laureate in charge of Huaguo's controllable fusion project and former Princeton mathematics professor, fell into a coma due to overwork.

After the news was released, the news did not cause much disturbance in the United States, and not many people even noticed it.

Until this news was seen by people with good intentions and good intentions, and with their help, it was posted on Twitter, and it was spread across the ocean and back to China.

The news of Lu Zhou's coma was known to everyone...
