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

After all, the Xia Kingdom in this life has accelerated the process by several years compared to the previous life.

Logically speaking, according to the current development speed, Xia Guo will definitely be able to escape the solar system in 20 years!

But... for some reason, he always felt a little worried.

Perhaps it was because he really experienced the sense of powerlessness when the helium flash erupted. At this time, Lu Yongchang was like a soldier suffering from insufficient firepower.

However, what he suffers from is a phobia of insufficient technology.

Especially after seeing the cutting-edge technologies in the technology tree system in his mind, he deeply realized a problem.

For the universe, human beings are really too small!

"Of course!" Lu Yongchang nodded slightly, and said firmly!

"call……"

Mr. Li exhaled deeply: "How sure are you?"

The moment he said those words, Mr. Li's eyes shone like never before!

I have to admit that he was moved by Lu Yongchang's words!

The moment he heard these words, a smile appeared on Lu Yongchang's face.

He knew that he had made the right bet again!

"Nine percent!"

Lu Yongchang looked at Councilor Li firmly: "I can issue a military order. Within half a year, the small fusion reactor plan will surely break through!"

"Okay!" Mr. Li's eyes flashed with excitement.

"In that case...then I will trust you once!"

"The current Xia Kingdom can still afford to gamble!"

Lu Yongchang hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, opened the briefcase set aside, took out a document, and handed it to Mr. Li.

"Mr. Li, this is the laboratory's budget after discussion, about the fusion demonstration reactor!"

Councilor Li gasped for breath.

The next moment, he took a meaningful look at Lu Yongchang: "You boy...are you ready to persuade me?"

"What will you do if I don't agree?"

Lu Yongchang's face collapsed, and he said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, you probably wouldn't do such a thing, would you?"

"Don't you want to see Xia Guo getting better and better?"

Mr. Li was stunned, and laughed loudly: "That's right! I didn't expect that at my age, I can't see it as thoroughly as you, a brat like you!"

As he said that, Mr. Li reached out to take the documents in Lv Yongchang's hand and examined them carefully.

After seeing the last string of numbers in the budget table, Councilor Li's expression changed suddenly.

"Ahem... Mr. Li, this is a nuclear fusion power plant after all, so it's normal that the cost is a bit high."

Seeing Mr. Li's sudden change of expression, Lu Yongchang hurriedly explained: "However, I assure you, once the nuclear fusion power plant is completed, the benefits it will bring will be extremely exaggerated!"

Councilor Li looked at Lu Yongchang helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."

"500 billion, Xia Guo can still get it out!"

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief.

That's it.

Mr. Li took the budget sheet and sat back at his desk. Then, he picked up the pen on the desk and wrote four flamboyant characters on it.

"Approve the project!"

Chapter 30 This is an Undergraduate Thesis

United States, "Science" Editorial Office.

Sitting on a chair in the editorial department, Adam yawned and glanced at the wall clock on the wall.

It's 5 o'clock in the evening.

It's time to get off work!

He stretched himself, dragged the mouse to delete the files on the computer desktop.

As a science editor, he needs to review a large number of manuscripts submitted from all over the world every day.

And among these manuscripts from all over the world, it is conservatively estimated that only 10% of the manuscripts are really valuable!

As for why...it's pretty simple.

"Science" is the top journal in the world.

Numerous scientific researchers hope that it can include and publish their own papers.

This is not only an affirmation, but also a status symbol!

This also led to a very helpless situation.

In addition to those serious scientific researchers, there are many "wild" scientific researchers who will also contribute to the journal "Science".

These "wild" scientific researchers have a name unique to them.

citizen scientist.

Referred to as Minke.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the emails Adam receives every day come from these civilian scientists.

The conclusions inside are even more shocking than the last.

Water grinding knife cutting atomic technology, anti-gravity device, perpetual motion machine...

It can be said that in Adam's mailbox, there are only papers that you can't think of, and there are no papers that you can't see.

Adam sighed deeply while dragging a file from the computer into the trash can.

This article is a typical civil science paper.

The author of the paper claimed to have solved Goldbach's conjecture.

But when he clicked on the file and began to examine it carefully, he was horrified to find that the author didn't even figure out what Goldbach's conjecture was!

"God... Michelle, you should really read this paper." While deleting the paper, Adam muttered to himself.

As Adam's words fell, a blond beauty editor sitting next to him smiled, and turned to look at him: "What? What weird paper did you review again?"

Adam stopped what he was doing, turned the swivel chair under him, and complained to Michelle: "The author thinks that Goldbach's conjecture proves that 1+1=2."

Michelle froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"My God...Adam, I really don't understand why you can always review these weird papers!"

Adam shrugged helplessly: "Who knows?"

"Ding dong!"

Just as Adam was about to get up and leave his seat, a crisp reminder sounded from the computer in front of him.

"Damn...another submission!" Adam looked angrily at Michelle, who was doing nothing beside him, "It's not fair!"

"All day today, I reviewed fifteen papers!"

"Among them, fourteen are waste manuscripts!"

Michelle smiled and turned off the computer in front of her, shrugged and said, "Really? Every time I pay my salary, I also think it's quite unfair, why don't we switch?"

Adam: "..."

"Let's forget it..."

He smiled and sat back in his seat.

The moment he saw the title of the paper, he raised his eyebrows.

"Hey! It turned out to be a paper on controllable nuclear fusion!"

"Michelle, let's make a bet, I bet this paper is a waste manuscript!"

Hearing Adam's words, Michelle raised her willow eyebrows, dragged the office chair and sat next to Adam: "What's the bet?"

"A dinner?"

While speaking, Adam clicked the mouse to open the file.

"If it's from Michelin, I'll bet you!" Michelle glanced at the title of the email and said after a moment of pondering.

Adam paused slightly when he manipulated the mouse.

Michelin...that's going to cost a fortune!

But thinking of the experience of [-] consecutive scraps of manuscripts today, Adam felt a bit of inexplicable confidence in his heart.

"Okay! It's a Michelin restaurant!"

"I can't believe I'm about to leave work, and I can still see a normal paper!"

While speaking, the file in the mailbox was opened.

Adam quickly dragged the mouse and dragged the paper to the signature column.

"……hiss!"

The moment Adam saw the signature, Adam gasped suddenly!

"The second work of this thesis turned out to be the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Xia State Sandaokou University?!"

The corners of Adam's mouth twitched slightly.

"You owe me a Michelin meal, don't forget!" Michelle's eyes almost overflowed with a smile.

Adam shook his head helplessly: "Michelin is just Michelin... I am more concerned about the first work of this paper."

"This Lv Yongchang... I don't seem to have heard of this name in the nuclear physics world."

Michelle looked a little serious.

She frowned and thought carefully for a while, then slowly shook her head.

"I've never heard of that name either."

"Could it be a newcomer?"

Adam shook his head solemnly, and casually wrote down the string of letters in the notebook beside him: "Probably not, do you think newcomers can get a first-author position on this kind of paper?"

"The second work of this thesis is the nuclear physics laboratory of Xia State Sandaokou University!"

Michelle shook her head slowly: "I don't know either...Let's read the content of the paper first!"

Adam nodded solemnly.

Knowing that this thesis came from Sandaokou University in Xia Kingdom, the expression on his face became a lot more serious.

"...According to experiments, the stellarator device can effectively prolong the maintenance time of controllable nuclear fusion?"

"35 minutes?!"

"WTF??!"

Adam quickly dragged the mouse and directly dragged the content of the paper to the experimental data section.

Looking at the dense experimental data in the paper, Adam's pupils dilated a little.

He muttered to himself: "God... Isn't Xia Guo just kicked out of ITER?"

He can even imagine how wonderful the expressions of those people at ITER will be once this paper is published in the journal "Science"!

"and many more!"

Michelle on the side suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Adam, have you noticed?!"

Adam looked at Michelle sitting next to him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Michelle pointed to the last page of the paper with disbelief on her face: "Adam...don't you find the format of this paper familiar?"

Adam frowned and looked carefully at the last page of the paper.

"At the completion of this graduation thesis, the first thing I would like to thank is..."
