I accidentally got a two-way foil in my second level civilization

Professor Collins' words made President Albert's expression turn serious.

He was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "This is indeed a problem."

"Like the Xia country, the United States doesn't really have its own controlled nuclear fusion device at present..."

Albert's muttering made Professor Collins' eyes light up suddenly.

He quickly chimed in, "That's right, Mr. President. We need a fusion reactor that truly belongs to us!"

Albert pondered for a moment: "Give me a time frame, Professor."

"Without a definite time, Congress won't approve it."

Facing Albert's meaningful gaze, Professor Collins hesitated for a while: "Maybe... about ten years?"

Albert's brows instantly furrowed: "Ten years?! Professor, are you kidding me?"

"Not to mention me, Congress will definitely not agree to this plan!"

Professor Collins gave an embarrassed smile and quickly said again, "Five years. I believe that within five years, a fusion reactor belonging to the Americans will appear!"

Albert nodded in satisfaction.

...

At the same time, within the First Ring Road of the capital city of the Xia country.

Inside that building which couldn't be found on the map, Hong Qiming's face was solemn as he knocked on the office door again.

"Come in."

Hong Qiming took a deep breath, calmed his slightly agitated mood, then reached out and pushed open the somewhat heavy wooden door.

"Chairman Li."

Hong Qiming slightly lowered his head and bowed to the old man behind the desk.

Seeing Hong Qiming, the old man's face was full of smiles. He slowly got up, walked to Hong Qiming's side, and nodded, "Not bad, not bad. You did a great job on this matter!"

A smile also appeared on Hong Qiming's slightly serious face. He nodded gently and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that Lu Yongchang kid to be so capable."

A trace of sigh flashed in Chairman Li's eyes: "Yeah... I've read all the reports you sent over the past two days."

The next second, Chairman Li changed the topic, and his face became serious: "Qiming, what do you think of this Lu Yongchang kid?"

Hong Qiming's pupils suddenly shrank.

These words from Chairman Li made a faint guess rise in his heart.

Could it be that Chairman Li was planning to...

He didn't dare to hide anything and immediately told everything he had seen.

After listening to Hong Qiming's words, Chairman Li nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that this kid suits your taste."

"I'm planning to cultivate him into a new - generation leader. What do you think?"

Hong Qiming took a deep breath, then said in a deep voice, "Chairman Li, I think Lu Yongchang can shoulder this responsibility!"

Chairman Li showed a satisfied smile: "In that case, bring him to me in a few days. I want to meet him in person."

...

"What?!"

"Chairman Li wants to meet me?!"

Even Lu Yongchang, who had seen all kinds of big shots in his previous life, couldn't help being a little surprised at this moment.

He didn't expect that Chairman Li had noticed him so quickly.

But why?

Just a controlled nuclear fusion ignition experiment wasn't enough to draw Chairman Li's attention to him!

After thinking for a long time without getting an answer, a flattering smile appeared on Lu Yongchang's face. He moved closer to Hong Qiming: "Minister Hong, do you know... why Chairman Li wants to meet me?"

Hong Qiming glanced at Lu Yongchang, who was smiling cheekily in front of him, somewhat helplessly.

He really wondered in his heart why this Lu Yongchang kid wasn't afraid of him at all.

After all, he was a minister at the provincial - ministerial level!

Although he was a bit puzzled in his heart, he still told Lu Yongchang all the information he knew.

"Chairman Li means to cultivate you into a leader among the young generation. You have to be prepared."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Lu Yongchang but also Fang Xu beside him had their pupils shrink suddenly!

Lu Yongchang restrained some of the smiles on his face and asked in a deep voice, "Minister Hong, did Chairman Li really say that?"

"Absolutely true!"

Hearing Hong Qiming's firm reply, a trace of excitement flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.

If this was really the case, he would have more confidence in dealing with the future disaster!

Originally, in his plan, it would take him about three years to achieve what he had now.

But now... in less than a month, he had completed all his initial plans!

"Minister Hong, when shall we leave?"

Hong Qiming looked at the "young lad" in front of him with a faint smile: "Tomorrow. I'll take you to meet Chairman Li myself!"

...

The next day.

In front of the mysterious building within the First Ring Road of the capital city, a black Audi A6 slowly stopped.

After the car door opened, a middle - aged man got out first, followed by a college student with a bit of youthfulness on his face.

"Yongchang, when you see Chairman Li, don't talk nonsense. Be serious, got it?"

A trace of nervousness appeared in Hong Qiming's eyes. As Lu Yongchang's "guarantor", if something really went wrong, he would probably be in big trouble!

Lu Yongchang nodded gently and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, a smile appeared in Hong Qiming's eyes.

"Didn't expect you, kid, to be nervous too?"

"I've never seen you like this in front of me!"

Hong Qiming's teasing words brought Lu Yongchang's thoughts back.

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Nervous?

He wasn't nervous at all!

Just now he was just thinking about how to make Chairman Li attach importance to the development of aerospace technology!

However, since Minister Hong had said so, he just silently accepted this statement.

He couldn't refute him at this time, could he?

As a former chief scientist, his emotional quotient wasn't that low!

"Don't worry. Chairman Li is very easy - going."

Seeing that Lu Yongchang remained silent, the smile in Minister Hong's eyes grew stronger. He even reached out and gently patted his shoulder: "Let's go. Don't keep Chairman Li waiting."

...

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The rhythmic knocking sound echoed in the quiet corridor.

"Come in!"

The voice of an old man came from inside the room.

The heavy wooden door slowly opened, and the familiar and simple - looking office appeared in front of Lu Yongchang's eyes.

A trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

In his previous life, he was a frequent visitor to this office!

"Lu Yongchang, right?"

The moment he saw Lu Yongchang, a smile appeared on the old man's face. Then he slowly got up from the chair and walked in front of him.

Chairman Li looked Lu Yongchang up and down and praised repeatedly, "Not bad, not bad. A handsome young man."

He reached out and patted Lu Yongchang's shoulder: "On behalf of the Xia country, thank you."

As he spoke, Chairman Li actually bent down towards Lu Yongchang.

"Chairman Li!"

Seeing this, Hong Qiming on the side showed a trace of urgency in his eyes and said repeatedly, "Chairman Li! Absolutely not!"

Lu Yongchang also reacted immediately and was about to step aside to help Chairman Li up, but was firmly held in place by Chairman Li's left hand, and he had to accept this bow.

"Chairman Li, what are you..." Lu Yongchang gave a bitter smile. "I just did what a scientific researcher should do."

Chairman Li, who stood up, was moved when he heard this: "What should be done... Good! Very good!"

"A few days ago, I asked Minister Hong about his opinion of you."

"Originally, I thought Minister Hong was a bit partial to you. Now it seems that Minister Hong didn't tell the whole truth!"

As he spoke, Chairman Li glanced at Hong Qiming, who was standing aside with an embarrassed smile, and then said affirmatively again.

"You, kid... Good! Very good indeed!"

"If all the young people in our Xia country were like you, why would the Xia country worry about not rising?"
