Chapter 277: Electromagnetic Deflection Force Field Shield

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Great Power Game. How terrifying.

After Tang Rui left the meeting room, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that such high-level matters were not something he could comprehend— a subject too damn complicated.

But such matters had nothing to do with him, so why bother worrying?

After leaving the meeting room, he wanted to find Professor Yu, but the professor had also gone to a meeting.

It was about the Lunar Networking Project.

After learning about this, Tang Rui simply went home.

In the following days, he also started to get busy—not with the orbital defense plan, but with his controlled nuclear fusion reactor.

Despite being summoned for the meeting, the project wouldn’t actually start until next March at the earliest, and certainly not until after the New Year.

After all, each of these plans needed comprehensive planning, personnel mobilization, and approvals for sub-projects and various topics.

There were so many things to deal with.

Just the issue of funding allocation alone could take who knows how long.

These things had nothing to do with Tang Rui.

As the chief engineer of a major project, funding and personnel would be arranged for him from above, and he would not lack anything.

He didn’t need to worry about these things.

But the problem was, someone came to him.

After all, even a little leak from his hand could feed many people, so it was impossible that no one would come to him.

If it were someone he didn’t know or had no relationship with, he wouldn’t bother with them.

But the person who came to him was Professor Chen, and he was there for their alma mater, leaving Tang Rui without even an excuse to put him off.

In the back door tea house, Tang Rui and Professor Chen quietly drank tea.

“Teacher, just say what you need to, we’ve been drinking tea for fifteen minutes, it’s time to talk about business,” Tang Rui put down his teacup and lamented helplessly.

He knew Professor Chen invited him for tea for a reason, but the latter just drank tea and said nothing, making him very uncomfortable.

“Holding on for fifteen minutes, not bad, you’ve made progress from before, worthy of being the chief engineer, much more stable,” Professor Chen teased with a smile.

Tang Rui rolled his eyes.

“Okay, let’s talk business. Your time is precious, I won’t delay your research.

Your project, our school wants to send some people, and Nanhang also wants to join in and borrow some light.

A total of 116 people, with the lowest degree being a master’s and the highest being a postdoctoral who has worked in a mobile station for two years. Can you arrange it?”

Professor Chen laid out the situation.

This was normal.

Tang Rui’s large project, with its many sub-projects and countless topics.

Helping his alma mater arrange some people was nothing out of the ordinary. “Is that all, nothing else?”

After hearing this, Tang Rui felt that such a simple matter still needed him to come for tea when a phone call would have sufficed.

“There is, but I rejected it for you,” said Professor Chen indifferently.

“Oh.” Tang Rui nodded after hearing this, not asking anything further.

There must have been other requests, but perhaps a bit excessive, like asking for key laboratory slots or project leadership positions.

Whatever it was, Professor Chen wouldn’t mention it, and he wouldn’t ask.

“Professor, why don’t you come over?”

After drinking another sip of tea, Tang Rui extended an invitation.

“No need, I’m quite happy with my life now, teaching every day, working on small projects, very comfortable.

Your site is a key project, busy and tiring, I’d have to worry for you if I went over, so forget it.”

Professor Chen shook his head and outright refused.

If he were twenty years younger, he would definitely have fought for it.

But as someone close to retirement, what was there to fuss about, not to mention going over would mean his network here would almost certainly follow through his connections.

Not arranging it would offend people.

Arranging it would be unfair to Tang Rui.

So, forget it, he was about to retire, living a peaceful life in a few days sounded good too.

Tang Rui did not insist.

After drinking tea with Professor Chen for an hour, both of them left.

They both still had things to do.

Tang Rui returned home and had Honglian send the personnel files sent by Nanjing University of Science and Technology to Lin Chao for review.

Research capability was not important.

As long as there were no traitors, and even if it were people arranged by the school, they still had to undergo military investigation and review first.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Tang Rui’s controlled nuclear fusion reactor was already set up—easy-peasy.

With top materials ensuring safety, a laser array for ignition, and artificial intelligence controlling the core.

There were some minor flaws, but it didn’t matter.

The total power generation capacity of the entire controlled nuclear fusion reactor reached 3000 megawatt-hours, and there was no need to worry about any nuclear leakage problems. It was safe, pollution-free, and could be shut down or started at any time.

The era of unlimited energy had arrived.

Tang Rui, looking at the huge nuclear fusion reactor in front of him, felt no excitement.

What a breeze.

In fact, anyone else with these materials and Honglian’s help could also achieve nuclear fusion.

Of course, achieving nuclear fusion was only the first step.

Such a large nuclear fusion reactor could not possibly be put on a spacecraft; it was too big and too heavy.

Next, was to research reducing the size of the reactor.

But that was not urgent.

A new day dawned upon them.

After Tang Rui got up, he ate breakfast while browsing his phone.

“America is on fire again?”

Tang Rui saw a news article and immediately laughed.

The US military, due to some issues related to complacency in their rescue work, caused a forest fire in Nevada.

Honestly, the asteroid impact didn’t do much damage to Nevada.

As to why order hadn’t been restored yet, it could only be said that the feeling of freedom was very nice, and everyone wanted to experience it a bit longer.

Tang Rui glanced at it and flipped to the next news article.

The American rescue work wasn’t interesting.

The juicy news had already been consumed, and there was nothing new.

“Waking up to find another country gone.”

Tang Rui saw the second news article, which was about the final unification of Sudan and its recognition by the international community.

“In that case, Han should be coming back too.”

It had been seven or eight months.

Since that side had already negotiated well, and there was no need for military suppression.

And with the USA currently preoccupied, the situation in Sudan didn’t require Crimson to stay there permanently.

Arriving at the lab, Tang Rui sent a video call to Han Shu, asking about his situation.

“Expect to be back in half a month, things here are basically settled.

Oh, and I caught the lion and cheetah you wanted ,1’11 bring them back with me.”

Han Shu was very reliable, not forgetting what he had said before, but who could have expected them to be delayed so long there?

Now that they were caught, they weren’t really needed.

After all, he had too many precious animals in his hands.

“Alright, 1’11 welcome you back when you return, Han.”

“That’s the deal.”

After a brief chat, the video call ended.

Tang Rui had just hung up the video call when Lin Chao came running over.

“Lin, what’s so urgent?”

“Take a look at this video first.”

Lin Chao took out a secure hard drive and plugged it into the robot’s interface.

Red Lotus immediately extracted the data inside.

It was a video file.

“Play it.”

Tang Rui instructed Red Lotus to play the file.

Whoosh.

A large container-sized piece of equipment appeared on the screen, and you couldn’t tell at all what it was just by looking at it.

The next second, someone took out a laser-targeted rifle and fired at the equipment.

Bang Bang Bang…

The trigger was pulled all the way, emptying the entire magazine, but the device was not hit.

It wasn’t because the bullets were off, but because the bullets were deflected as they approached the device.

This…

After watching the video, Tang Rui’s eyes widened.

“Here’s the information, take a look.”

Lin Chao handed Tang Rui a file bag.

Tang Rui opened it and saw.

“Research and Discovery on Super Electromagnetic Field Deflection Protection,” was the title of the document.

But the first thing Tang Rui thought of when he saw this title was the protective shields from movies..”
