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

"Ahem!"

The hostess, Yiyi, gently coughed to interrupt Deng Haochu's rather passionate speech. "Mr. Deng, there's a piece of news I think you should hear."

Deng Haochu, whose words were interrupted again, was like a wizard whose spell - casting was interrupted. His face flushed red with anger as he stared at the host in front of him.

"You!"

"Can't you just let me finish?!"

The hostess gave an apologetic smile and then said softly, "According to reports, the second nuclear fusion experiment at Sandaokou University was a complete success."

"The modified stellarator successfully sustained controlled nuclear fusion for 35 minutes, breaking the previous record of 26 minutes set by ITER."

Deng Haochu's pupils slightly dilated, and he stood there dumbfounded.

"Mr. Deng?"

A hint of slyness appeared in the hostess's eyes as she softly reminded, "Mr. Deng, did you hear what I just said?"

Deng Haochu suddenly came to his senses.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he muttered to himself, "No, it's impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"

"Mr. Deng, this is the announcement released by Sandaokou University."

The hostess, Yiyi, "kind - heartedly" reminded.

Deng Haochu's mouth twitched, and he suddenly roared, "Impossible! It must be a conspiracy!"

"The stellarator can never operate stably for 35 minutes!"

"Bang!"

Just as Deng Haochu was shouting and yelling in the studio, a loud noise came from the door.

Everyone's eyes turned towards the door of the studio.

Several men in police uniforms walked into the studio with serious expressions and went straight up to Deng Haochu.

"Are you Deng Haochu?"

"Please come with us!"

As he spoke, the leading policeman took out his identification from his pocket and flashed it in front of Deng Haochu.

...

In the evening.

Inside a villa in the capital city.

As usual, after dinner, Lü Guoqing sat on the sofa, reached for the remote control beside him, turned on the TV, switched the channel to the news channel, and waited for the daily news program.

As the hour hand of the wall - hanging clock pointed to the number 7, a familiar melody came from the TV.

"Hello, dear viewers. Welcome to today's news of Xia Country."

"Here's the latest news from our station. The Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Sandaokou University in the capital conducted the second controlled nuclear fusion experiment this afternoon."

"The experiment was a complete success, and the duration of controlled nuclear fusion was extended to 35 minutes, breaking the previous record of 26 minutes set by ITER!"

Hearing this, Lü Guoqing's pupils dilated slightly, and then he suddenly clapped his hands.

"Amazing!"

"The nuclear physics major at Sandaokou University really lives up to its reputation as a top - notch major!"

A slightly disgruntled voice came from the kitchen beside him.

"Hey, what are you shouting about over there? You don't even want to help me clean up the dishes!"

Hearing his wife's complaint, Lü Guoqing forced a smile and quickly shut up.

"Here's another piece of the latest news. The chief engineer of the controlled nuclear fusion project is a sophomore undergraduate from Sandaokou University..."

Before Lü Guoqing could react, the TV screen changed.

In the TV image, a boy in a white short - sleeve shirt was holding a white - board marker and writing the last line of letters on the blackboard.

"Under the leadership of student Lü Yongchang, the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Sandaokou University has broken through several technical barriers and successfully achieved controlled nuclear fusion technology in the laboratory..."

At the same time, various clips of Lü Yongchang doing research in the laboratory were shown on the TV screen.

By now, Lü Guoqing was a bit overwhelmed.

He slowly stood up, looking at the TV in front of him in disbelief, and shouted, "Qingru! Qingru, come and take a look!"

Zhou Qingru's impatient voice came from the kitchen, "What to look at? Don't you know I'm still washing the dishes?"

"Our... Our son is on the news!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a series of clattering sounds came from the kitchen.

The next moment, Zhou Qingru, wearing an apron, rushed into the living room at full speed with a slightly panicked look on her face. "What?! What's going on? What happened to our son?!"

Lü Guoqing opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

He felt that at this moment, no words could express the shock in his heart!

He could only feebly point at the TV screen in front of him. "This... This is our son, right?"

Zhou Qingru stared blankly at the TV screen, and a look of shock gradually appeared in her eyes.

Perhaps because the controlled nuclear fusion project was quite important, the news of Xia Country spent a full five minutes on this news.

During this period, there were a full two minutes dedicated to introducing Lü Yongchang.

The TV screen flickered slightly and returned to the interface of the news anchor.

"Here's the news from our station..."

Neither Lü Guoqing nor Zhou Qingru could hear a single word of the following news.

At this moment, the two of them were still standing dumbly in front of the TV, looking at the screen with dazed expressions.

After a long time, Lü Guoqing swallowed slightly and came to his senses. "This, this brat... He did such a big thing without saying a word!"

"I, I have to call him and teach him a lesson!"

As he spoke, Lü Guoqing turned to pick up the phone on the coffee table.

The next moment, Zhou Qingru gave her husband a fierce glare. "What are you going to do?!"

Lü Guoqing's hand froze in mid - air, and he forced a smile as he said to his wife, "I, I'll call our son to ask him what exactly is going on..."

Zhou Qingru rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Can you just ask about this kind of thing casually?

"What if it involves some confidentiality issues? Do you want to get Yongchang into trouble?"

Lü Guoqing's face stiffened, and he slowly retracted his hand. "Then... are we just going to wait like this?"

Just as the two were in a dilemma, a phone ringtone sounded.

It was Zhou Qingru's phone.

Zhou Qingru's expression changed slightly, and she quickly bent down to pick up her phone from the coffee table.

The moment she saw the caller ID, an excited smile appeared on Zhou Qingru's face. "It's Yongchang's call!"

Lü Guoqing's eyes lit up, and he immediately urged in a low voice, "Answer it! Hurry up and answer it!"

Zhou Qingru nodded repeatedly and quickly answered the phone.

"Mom?"

As soon as the speakerphone was turned on, Lü Yongchang's voice came from the phone.

"Yongchang, what's going on with what was shown on the news of Xia Country? Are you working on nuclear fusion now?!"

Before Zhou Qingru could speak, Lü Guoqing beside her couldn't wait to ask.

"Uh..."

There was a hint of hesitation in Lü Yongchang's voice.

Zhou Qingru glared at Lü Guoqing and quickly added, "Yongchang, don't listen to your dad! If it involves any confidentiality regulations, you don't have to tell us!"

A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone. "It's not really about confidentiality. I just didn't expect this matter to be on the news of Xia Country..."

"Yes, I'm indeed researching controlled nuclear fusion technology now."

"So you're now the chief engineer of the controlled nuclear fusion project in Xia Country?!"

Lü Guoqing's question made Lü Yongchang stunned for a moment again.

He didn't expect the news of Xia Country to expose this matter!

However, this wasn't something to be ashamed of, so Lü Yongchang readily admitted it.

Lü Guoqing and Zhou Qingru looked at each other. After a long time, Zhou Qingru slowly said, "Yongchang... Remember to take good care of yourself."

Hearing this, Lü Yongchang's nose twitched slightly, and he was a bit choked up for a moment.

"Okay."
