Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

9:30 that evening.

Lv Yongchang, who had just stepped off Xuannv No. 1, naturally had no idea what was happening in the United States.

Of course, if he knew the pessimistic thoughts of Albert and others, he would probably laugh his head off.

This is a typical cognitive error caused by information asymmetry.

Although Xuannv No. 1 is powerful enough, it cannot carry weapons at all with its current fuselage structure.

Let alone missiles, it cannot even release the simplest tungsten rod.

What's more, the current Xuannv No. 1's primary task is not combat, but to go to the moon for some scientific research.

Therefore, in the short term, Lv Yongchang has no plans to change its fuselage structure.

Simply put, except for its first-class ability to run away, the current Xuannv No. 1 is completely a flower stand without any combat capability.

...

Xiaguo time, 11:30 p.m.

In the office of Councillor Li in Beijing.

Councillor Li handed a latest document from the United States to Lv Yongchang with a solemn expression.

"Yongchang, take a look at this document."

Lv Yongchang reached out to take the still warm A4 printed paper. When he saw the title, his eyebrows suddenly raised.

"The United States announced that NASA's funding this year will be increased to 500 billion US dollars?"

"Wow!" A trace of surprise flashed across Lu Yongchang's face, "Albert is really willing to spend, this is ten times the funding of previous years!"

Member Li nodded solemnly: "This news just came. It is estimated that Xuannv No. 1 has given them a bit of a stimulus."

"This is also what I am worried about. If the Moon Palace Project is launched now, the reaction from the United States may be even greater at that time!"

"What Xiaguo needs most now is a period of stable development."

Lv Yongchang smiled and waved his hand and said: "Chairman, in my opinion, this should not be a problem."

"In fact, the faster we speed up the progress, the safer our situation will be!"

"Oh?" Member Li raised his eyebrows suddenly : "What do you mean?"

"Senator, you see, since we launched the Moon Palace Project, the South Gate Project and the Heavenly Palace Project, the attention of the United States has been diverted unconsciously."

"After proposing the Mars Pathfinder Project, the United States has increased NASA's research funding by a full ten times."

Speaking of this, Lv Yongchang's smile became even more intense: "I believe that the United States, with such a large stall, should not have the energy to deal with Xiaguo."

"Senator, do you know a term often mentioned on the Internet, the Strategic Deception Bureau?"

Lv Yongchang said happily: "Now it seems that the United States is completely confused."

"The purpose of my announcing the three plans has been achieved!"

It's still a familiar formula, still a familiar taste.

Everything seems to be a re-enactment of history decades ago.

It's just that after the opponent changed, the United States has changed from an advantage to a disadvantage.

"I understand!" Councillor Li nodded slowly, his expression slightly relaxed. "Then according to you, next, Xiaguo should focus on building an automatic mining device on the moon?"

Lv Yongchang nodded, then shook his head: "Not only that, there is another more important matter."

"'Restart' the Biosphere 2 project!"

...

Three days later.

A red banner was hung at the entrance of Sandaokou University.

"Warmly welcome all academicians and professors to our school to attend the meeting!"

The big red banner at the entrance attracted countless students to watch.

"What's going on... What kind of meeting is our school going to hold? So grand?"

A girl with long hair frowned and turned to the person next to her and asked: "Yutong, did you hear what your tutor said?"

Beside her, a girl wearing a white chiffon dress, a tall ponytail, and a pure face was looking up at the big red banner at the school gate.

Hearing the question from the people around him, Su Yutong frowned slightly, subconsciously reached out to adjust her frameless glasses, and shook her head hesitantly, saying, "I... haven't heard of any important meetings."

"How about... I'll go ask later?"

A trace of regret flashed in the eyes of the long-haired girl: "Well, I thought you knew some inside information!"

Su Yutong rolled her eyes and said unhappily: "Where do you get so much inside information? I'm just an ordinary student under my tutor now."

"Ordinary?" The girl looked at Su Yutong in surprise, "Professor Guan Hualiang took a fancy to me and accepted me as a student in my junior year. You call this ordinary?!"

"I heard that Professor Guan Hualiang even looked at me. I won't be an ordinary graduate student!"

"How can it be so exaggerated..." Su Yutong said with a wry smile, "Although Mr. Guan's requirements for students are indeed higher, it is also for our own good! Scientific research cannot tolerate any mistakes!"

The long-haired girl's eyes were full of amazement, and she sighed repeatedly: "I really don't know what you went through in your sophomore year, and suddenly it was like you got it..."

"If I remember correctly, our advanced mathematics were originally at the same level, right?"

As she said, the long-haired girl rolled up the book in her hand into a microphone and put it in front of Su Yutong: "Let me interview the new top student in our applied physics department. What exactly makes you study so hard?"

Looking at the curious eyes of the people around her, Su Yutong's pretty face turned slightly red, and a bit of shyness was revealed in her slightly cold voice: "Okay, okay, Chen Yun, don't talk nonsense, I'm not a top student... Don't forget, there is a real top student in our class!"

As she said this, Su Yutong's mind emerged with the figure who sat next to her and solved problems more than half a year ago.

"Huh? You mean Professor Lu? That's not a top student!" Chen Yun curled her lips, "That's a god of learning!"

"To be honest, if I hadn't seen it on the Xiaguo news, I wouldn't even believe that such a great person is in the same class as us!"

"But then again, Professor Lu, it seems that I haven't heard from him since the nuclear fusion, and I don't know where he went."

Hearing this, Su Yutong's eyes dimmed slightly.

From that day on, she never saw him in the library again.

She pursed her lips lightly, shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

"Maybe he is conducting some secret research mission? The small fusion reactor reported in the Xiaguo News last time might have been developed by him."

"Well, come on, come on, we are really..." Chen Yun smiled and pulled Su Yutong's sleeve, "Is it our turn to worry about Professor Lu's affairs?"

"Let's go, I'm almost starving."

"If you don't hurry up, be careful that the good dishes in the cafeteria will be snatched away by others!"

Su Yutong retracted his gaze, shook his head lightly, and threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

As long as he keeps climbing up, he will meet again one day, right?

A thought flashed through Su Yutong's mind.
