Old Man Li said in surprise, "No pollution at all? Little Lin, could this become an ideal material for Controlled Nuclear Fusion?"
Lin Chen said, "Theoretically, there's no problem. But in practice, it definitely won't be achievable within ten years. This Mushroom Bomb is far more powerful than a hydrogen bomb."
"Controlling energy like that would be extremely difficult."
Old Man Li said, "If ten years won't do, then twenty. We got where we are today by taking things one step at a time."
"We have to solve the energy problem sooner or later."
Lin Chen nodded.
"The chances of getting it done in ten years are relatively low, but I think there's a high probability we can do it in twenty."
Old Jiang smiled. "Little Lin, with you saying that, I think it can definitely be done. But it's a pity—we old fellows probably won't live another twenty years."
Lin Chen said, "Old Jiang, you're all in decent health. If you take good care of yourselves, I think living another twenty years won't be a problem."
"And it might not even take twenty years to develop this."
Hope appeared in Old Man Li and the others' eyes.
The biggest problem troubling China was energy. As the world's strongest manufacturing nation, China consumed enormous amounts of energy.
That made it easy for other countries to choke them off.
"If we can live to see it, that would be best. Once this is developed, nothing will stand in the way of our Great Rejuvenation."
Old Man Li spoke with emotion.
"Beep, beep!"
Old Jiang's phone suddenly rang.
He answered it, and the person on the other end said, "Chief, according to intelligence, East Sakura Country has obtained a Mushroom Bomb with a yield that may be as high as three hundred
