Does Huaxia Have No Cards Left?

In the remaining days of the conference, representatives from various countries all wanted to get in touch with the Huaxia delegation.

The Huaxia delegation, however, was temporarily not receiving visitors.

That morning, people from the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission had blocked Jiang Yuan at the entrance to the meeting hall.

Jiang Yuan smiled and patted the other man on the shoulder.

"Go back and follow the proper channels. Anything between our two sides can be discussed anytime."

With that, he smiled and walked into the venue.

When the Japanese delegation sent someone to arrange a meeting time,

the staff merely gave a simple reply.

"Academician Jiang is resting."

Even Bradshaw's assistant from the United States came twice, but they did not even get through the door.

The conference ended amid this awkward atmosphere. Li Dong and the others returned to Base 200 and began the final assembly of the Z-pinch-driven fusion-fission hybrid experimental reactor.

The First Wall modules made from Transmutation Replacement self-healing material were installed into the target chamber by robotic arms. Then came the second piece, the third piece... until the entire inner wall of the target chamber had been covered ring by ring.

The subcritical blanket modules outside the target chamber were also installed outward layer by layer.

The power-generation chain piping and heat exchangers outside the blanket were installed onto the hybrid reactor as well.

As time passed and the blanket outside the First Wall was added, this hybrid reactor gradually expanded from a sphere six meters in diameter to more than eleven meters, wrapped in over a thousand tons of blanket material and a ring of shielding.

While the hybrid reactor was gradually taking shape, the things Jiang Yuan had said at the Chengdu Fusion Energy Conference spread outward as well.
