Jonathan's voice trembled slightly. If this conjecture was confirmed, it would mean Eagle Country had already fallen far behind in controlled nuclear fusion.
The major powers on Earth were all conducting research into controlled nuclear fusion, but most were still at the experimental ignition stage.
Every breakthrough of a second or a minute was enough to make headlines and trend worldwide.
After all, controlled nuclear fusion meant the arrival of the age of "infinite energy" and a leap forward in a country's overall strength.
It was like traditional PCs encountering a quantum computer with off-the-charts processing power. All the PCs in the world combined could not beat a single theoretical quantum computer.
The power output efficiencies of controlled nuclear fusion and controlled nuclear fission were not even in the same order of magnitude!
Thus, after reading the report in his hands, Jonathan began to sway, his mind reeling. He took an old-fashioned keypad phone without any brand logo out of his pocket and dialed a special number.
A few seconds later, the call connected, and an emotionless voice came through. "Hello, this is the White House office. Please state the reason for your call. Once it has been registered, it will be forwarded to the president as soon as possible."
Jonathan swallowed. His usually eloquent tongue felt stiff at that moment. "I'm Jonathan, head of the Atomic Energy Research Center. I need to meet with the president and Mr. George, director of the Energy Department, as soon as possible. I have an extremely urgent situation to report!"
