"What Old Luo said indeed makes sense."
Hearing Luo Bangrong's words, Lin Jingxi immediately laughed and clapped his hands, expressing his wholehearted agreement.
Then he said to Xiao Yi, "Exactly. When you first came up with nuclear fusion, it certainly made us work a lot of overtime. But it also made us incredibly happy. We thought that we'd finally gained a devastating weapon in the economic arena. With that, we could command the world, and none would dare disobey."
As he spoke, he laughed again.
To them, nuclear fusion truly was such a superweapon in the economic sphere. Energy was the economy, and nuclear fusion was a generator of economic power.
Now, with cheap energy from nuclear fusion, they could easily create the greatest wealth in the world and use it to set the rules.
To be honest, they had long since begun making plans to establish those rules.
Hearing them, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "If that's the case, then it means I've achieved some of my original goals."
After all, aside from wanting to know whether nuclear fusion technology could truly appear on Earth and whether humanity could develop it, his original purpose in researching nuclear fusion had naturally also been to help the country grow stronger.
And just as he had said before, scientific technologies such as nuclear fusion created productive forces, while social sciences applied them. Their ultimate goal was economic development.
In this world where the economy outweighed everything else, the ultimate purpose of every force in the world was the economy. Whether it was developing the economy or protecting it, the principle was the same.
In the past, the Americans had relied on oil to possess a devastating weapon in the economic arena.
