Stop Fooling the Us, China Really is Doing This!

Chapter 232 If it were him, it might not be impossible.Meanwhile, the news that the Dragon Kingdom might have achieved a breakthrough in Room-temperature superconductivity technology was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar worldwide.

This news seemed to have grown wings, spreading at a staggering speed and stirring up massive waves wherever it reached.

Across the globe, whether it was the authoritative experts who had been deeply involved in the relevant fields for many years, or ordinary people who had only heard a little about technological developments, everyone seemed to have gone mad, eagerly wanting to confirm the authenticity of this news!

They scrambled through various channels, trying to question experts from the Dragon Kingdom, desperate to get a definitive answer from these professionals.

However, facing the tidal wave of inquiries, most of the Dragon Kingdom’s experts were left bewildered, giving almost identical responses:

”I don’t know, don’t ask me!”

Among these many questioned experts, Professor Xu Cheng, a materials science expert from the Dragon Kingdom, was undoubtedly the one most heavily ”besieged” by foreign experts.

After all, he was the founder of materials science in the Dragon Kingdom, a renowned authority in this field, and his reputation and status were internationally famous.

When Professor Xu Cheng first heard everyone’s inquiries, his initial reaction could only be described as shock.

He widened his eyes, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg, and blurted out:

”What? What did you say?”

”Our country has developed Room-temperature superconductivity?”

”How could I not know about something this big??? I really don’t know!”

Professor Xu Cheng was incredibly puzzled. He knew deep down that, given the current state of scientific research in the country, although they were constantly striving to catch up with international advanced levels in materials science, achieving a breakthrough in Room-temperature superconductivity technology was no simple task.

The various conditions involved, whether it be research equipment, theoretical foundations, or talent reserves, in his view, meant that at least in the short term, the country simply did not possess the complete conditions necessary to achieve this technological breakthrough!

However, with everyone’s repeated reminders, Professor Xu Cheng hurriedly started to pay attention to the live news broadcast of the joint conference.

When he saw that the source of the news was actually raised by the Eagle Sauce at the conference, he understood instantly.

”Got it!”

Professor Xu Cheng snorted coldly to himself, already clear in his heart.

”This must be another conspiracy by those guys from Eagle Sauce! Hmph, they love pulling these little stunts, trying to confuse the public, they have no good intentions!”

Professor Xu Cheng knew the scientific research situation in the domestic materials science field like the back of his hand; after all, he had been struggling and working in this field for so many years and was a well-deserved authority.

He was very confident that in the field of materials science in the Dragon Kingdom, the teams capable of achieving a breakthrough in Room-temperature superconductivity technology were rare, and could be counted on one’s fingers.

Moreover, most of the core members of these teams were his students!

In his daily life, he worried quite a bit about these students’ research work.

Often, when they encountered difficulties in their research, he even had to step in personally to help solve them.

It is no exaggeration to say that he was as familiar with these students’ research work as he was with the lines on his own palm.

In his impression, these teams were facing immense difficulties on the road to Room-temperature superconductivity technology, much like the Tang Monk and his disciples on their journey to the West; they had to overcome one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after another to make any difficult progress.

Every challenge was like a tiger blocking their path, stuck firmly in their way, making it hard for them to move forward.

”You have to know, a breakthrough in this technology cannot be achieved overnight; it’s not that easy!”

Professor Xu Cheng couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh to himself.

Of course, besides the teams and students he knew well, there was one other person who suddenly popped into Professor Xu Cheng’s mind at this moment—Su Chen!

At the thought of Su Chen, a complex expression appeared on Professor Xu Cheng’s face, a mix of admiration for this young man and nostalgia for their past collaborations.

Thinking back, when they were researching the Individual Mecha together, it was truly an unforgettable experience.

Although he helped Su Chen quite a bit, much of the time he was just playing the role of an assistant!

That’s right, the leading authority on materials science in the Dragon Kingdom was acting as an assistant to Su Chen!

And through this back and forth, the two of them had formed quite a significant mentor-student bond.

However, this mentor-student relationship...

Strictly speaking, the mentor was Su Chen, and the student was Professor Xu Cheng!

Often, Professor Xu Cheng would ask Su Chen about cutting-edge theories and unique knowledge in materials science, which always benefited him greatly, making him feel as though he had opened a whole new door of knowledge and seen a much broader world in the field of materials science.

Just a while ago, the two of them had even had an exchange.

It was just that Su Chen was working on a highly confidential project at the time, so busy that he could barely keep up, and rarely returned to school, so the two of them couldn’t meet up for a proper chat.

At this moment, the moment Professor Xu Cheng thought of Su Chen, his heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

”If it were Su Chen...”

”If it were that kid...”

”Room-temperature superconductivity technology might not be impossible!”

The more Professor Xu Cheng thought about it, the more excited he became. In his mind, the image of Su Chen’s usual clever, wise, and quick-witted demeanor kept appearing, and he became more and more certain of this possibility.

He really wanted to call Su Chen immediately and ask clearly what was going on.

However, as soon as this thought occurred to him, he hesitated again.

He knew well that this matter involved state secrets. If he were to rashly call and ask, and it caused any unnecessary trouble for Su Chen, that would be bad.

He didn’t want to put Su Chen in a difficult position because of his own momentary impulse.

In the end, Professor Xu Cheng gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the restless agitation in his heart, and decided to wait and see, waiting until there was more definitive news before saying anything.

However, just at this moment, the phone beside him suddenly rang without warning. The ringing sounded exceptionally abrupt in the quiet room, giving Professor Xu Cheng a start.

Professor Xu Cheng took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down, and then slowly picked up the phone.

To his surprise, on the other end of the line, it was actually Su Chen!!!!

”Little Su, why are you calling me at this time?”

Professor Xu Cheng’s voice contained a hint of surprise and undisguised excitement; although he tried his best to restrain it, a slight tremor could still be heard.

”You... oh my...”

On the other side, Su Chen was clearly a bit confused, as if he hadn’t expected Professor Xu Cheng to react this way.

”What’s wrong, Professor Xu? Are you busy?”

Su Chen asked with concern, ”If you’re busy, I’ll call back another time!”

Professor Xu Cheng smiled bitterly to himself. He knew that Su Chen definitely wouldn’t be able to understand his extremely complex mood at this moment.

He understood in his heart that since Su Chen was calling him, there must be something he wanted to tell him.

Therefore, he quickly said:

”Not busy! What’s the matter? Go ahead!”

Su Chen listened, nodded, and said:

”That’s good if you’re not busy!”

”Actually, there is something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a long time, but I was too busy before and forgot!”

”Thanks to someone mentioning it, I remembered.”

Once Su Chen said this, Professor Xu Cheng’s curiosity was completely stirred up. He asked impatiently: ”So, what exactly is it?”

Su Chen continued:

”It’s just that, haven’t we achieved a breakthrough in Room-temperature superconductivity technology now?”

”So...”

Before Su Chen could finish his sentence, he was immediately interrupted by the old man’s exclamation.

”What????”

”Little Su, what did you say???”

”Do you mean, we really achieved Room-temperature superconductivity technology???”

Professor Xu Cheng’s voice instantly rose by several octaves!

The look of shock on his face was as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
