Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

No surprise.

This issue of "Science" has caused quite a stir in the academic circles of the United States and even the world.

Especially when people found out that this paper published in the world's top journal "Science" was actually an undergraduate thesis.

It has aroused heated discussions among countless people!

This paper has even become popular outside the academic circle!

On Twitter, countless netizens expressed their shock.

"Oh my god, why is there such a big gap between people?"

"WTF?! After graduating from undergraduate studies, you only have one science paper. What will you do in the future?!"

"Are all undergraduates in Xia country so good?!"

"Wait, why are you focusing on such strange things? Shouldn't you focus on the content of the paper? Since being kicked out of ITER, Xia country's controlled nuclear fusion technology has surpassed that of the United States!"

"That's strange. I remember that ITER said that Xia country stole the experimental data. Does Xia country really care about ITER's experimental data?"

" @Albert, Mr. President, come out and explain? Is the United States going to be surpassed by Xia country?"

" @Albert, tell me, where does our taxpayers' money go?!"

...

Unlike those netizens who like to watch the fun online, the US President's office at this time was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

"Bang!"

Albert, with a head of golden hair, slapped the desk in front of him hard and looked at the man in front of him with a gloomy face.

"Anthony, I need an explanation!"

"Why did Xia suddenly have such advanced controlled nuclear fusion technology?!"

"And what is ITER doing? So many top scientists can't beat an undergraduate student from Xia?"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Do you know what my fans on Twitter are saying about me?!"

Anthony's face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Professor Collins, who was full of white hair, stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. President, this matter... is my mistake."

"Xia's research speed on controlled nuclear fusion has exceeded my expectations."

Seeing Professor Collins speak, Albert's expression eased a little: "Then... Professor, what do you think the United States should do next?"

Hearing the president's question, Collins' eyes flickered.

After a moment of silence, Collins slowly said: "Mr. President, the United States must speed up!"

"In controlled nuclear fusion, we must not lag behind Xiaguo."

Albert nodded thoughtfully, then his eyes moved slightly, picked up a document from the desk, and handed it to Professor Collins.

"Professor, Congress has agreed to your plan and even gave 10% more funding."

Professor Collins showed some joy in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to take the document.

But Albert's voice rang again.

"However, there is a condition."

"Congress requires that the first controlled nuclear fusion experimental device must be built within three years!"

Collins' face changed drastically: "Mr. President, this is impossible!"

"Three years is too short!"

Collins shook his head like a rattle!

What a joke!

Build a large tokamak device in three years?

You know, it took more than ten years to build ITER!

Three years?

It is estimated that the foundation has not even been laid yet!

"I don't care. That's what Congress said." Albert shrugged and said indifferently, "If you can't do it, someone can replace you."

Professor Collins's face darkened.

This is indeed true.

This is a lucrative job!

In the academic circles of the United States, I don't know how many people are staring at this piece of fat!

Thinking of this, Collins smiled bitterly.

"In that case... I'll try my best."

Albert nodded with satisfaction and repeated meaningfully again: "Remember, you only have three years!"

Collins nodded bitterly.

...

That night, Albert's Twitter account uploaded a video.

In the video, Albert sat behind the president's desk with a serious face and said seriously: "First of all, on behalf of the United States, I congratulate Xiaguo for successfully running controlled nuclear fusion in the laboratory."

"These two days I saw many people asking me a question on Twitter."

"Is the United States going to be surpassed by Xiaguo? Or, how is the development of the controlled nuclear fusion technology in the United States?"

"Here, I will respond to everyone's questions in a unified manner."

"The United States has always been committed to the research of controlled nuclear fusion technology!"

"From now on, ITER will restart the controlled nuclear fusion experiment. At the same time, the United States will build a large controlled nuclear fusion experimental device within three years!"

"Believe me, in three years, you will be able to use electricity from nuclear fusion!"

...

At the same time when Albert posted on Twitter, the official Weibo account of Xiaguo News posted a message.

Xiaguo News: From now on, the Xiaguo controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project is officially approved.

Because of the time difference, the Beijing time at this moment is 6 o'clock in the morning.

Even so, within just a few minutes, countless netizens rushed into Xia Guo News’ Weibo post to watch the fun.

"Wow! I just said wow!"

"Is this a demonstration reactor? Does it mean... that the controlled nuclear fusion technology is mature?"

"What the hell? Why do I feel like the world has changed after I woke up?"

"Interesting, the United States also released a message at the same time. Albert uploaded a video about controlled nuclear fusion on Twitter. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

"Kneeling to ask the big guys to move it!"

"Please move it +1!"

"+10086!"

"..."

It has to be said that the efficiency of netizens is extremely powerful, especially when it comes to eating melons, they can always burst out unprecedented potential!

Within ten minutes, a high-definition subtitled video was uploaded to Weibo.

Some people even simplified the content of the video, converted it into text, and compared it with the content released by Xiaguo News.

When the content of the two was put together by someone with a heart, public opinion completely exploded!

"Fuck, fuck, fuck?! It feels like Xiaguo is going against the United States!"

"Don't say it, it really feels like that!"

"I'm reminded of the arms race that the United States had started before."

"..."

As everyone discussed, a new word instantly became a hot search on Weibo!

"Technology Competition"

Under the instruction of the top leaders of Xiaguo, the Xiaguo News Weibo account quietly updated a Weibo post again.

"We will never forget the humiliation suffered by Xiaguo researchers in the ITER project!"

"Controlled nuclear fusion technology is the key to open the door to the future interstellar era."

"Xiaguo will never give up controlled nuclear fusion technology!"

In just a few words, the already somewhat hot atmosphere on Weibo was directly ignited!

Countless netizens burst into tears!

How many years!

Xiaguo finally stood up for once!

"I will never regret entering Xiaguo in this life, and I wish to go to the flower-growing country in the next life!"

Neat comments flashed under the Xiaguo News Weibo!
