After Elder Long and Elder Qiao returned from Lingzhou City, they also came to the institute's conference hall.
When the experts and professors saw the two elders enter, admiration filled their faces, and they rose to greet them!
The two elders' achievements in scientific research in Dragon Country remained unmatched.
They even held a certain standing in the world.
Many researchers regarded them as the goal they would strive toward all their lives.
After Elder Long and Elder Qiao motioned for everyone to sit, they took their seats as well.
Dean Li then brought them copies of the confidentiality agreement and the documents!
They knew more about Jiang Fan's controlled nuclear fusion documents than anyone else present, but the proper procedures still had to be followed!
Quite a few people began murmuring when they saw Elder Long and Elder Qiao!
"Do you think these controlled nuclear fusion documents were the work of Elder Long or Elder Qiao?"
"Now that you mention it, that really is possible. Looking across all of Dragon Country, who has greater scientific expertise than they do?"
"Especially Elder Long. No one can match him in nanomaterials and rocket fuels. I think there's a very good chance these controlled nuclear fusion documents are his work!"
"Elder Long is truly incredible! I'd be satisfied if I could ever reach even half his level of expertise!"
"Keep working hard. We still have a chance!"
"..."
Just as everyone was speculating about the researcher behind the controlled nuclear fusion documents.
Dean Li addressed them!
"Everyone, now that we're all here, let's begin the main business of today's meeting."
"I'm sure there are many things in these controlled nuclear fusion documents that you don't understand. Now, let's invite their author to give me a report and explanation!"
As soon as Dean Li finished speaking, everyone looked toward Elder Long and Elder Qiao and began applauding!
But they noticed that neither Elder Long nor Elder Qiao showed any intention of standing.
Thinking their applause wasn't enthusiastic enough, they clapped faster and harder.
Just then, the conference hall doors opened.
A young man who looked like a high school student walked in. Everyone was somewhat bewildered. This was a meeting involving state secrets. How could someone just be allowed to walk in?
Their applause dwindled and stopped, and all eyes turned toward the young man!
Even when the young man reached the podium, no staff member stopped him or escorted him out!
Then a startling thought sprang into everyone's mind!
Could this young man be the one who wrote these controlled nuclear fusion documents?
Immediately afterward, they dismissed the thought!
No!
How could that possibly be true?
How old was this young man? He looked eighteen or nineteen at most.
If someone claimed he had developed controlled nuclear fusion, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death!
They all knew very well that researchers were still in the learning stage before the age of twenty-eight and couldn't possibly produce any research projects!
A researcher's true golden years were between twenty-eight and thirty-five.
At that age, people were full of energy, rich in experience, and quick-witted, making it easier for them to produce research results!
Of course, this wasn't absolute. It could only be said to apply to most researchers!
Just as everyone was speculating about Jiang Fan's identity, Dean Li addressed them!
"Allow me to introduce him. His name is Jiang Fan, and he is the author of these documents!"
"Wh-what? He really developed what's in these controlled nuclear fusion documents?"
"H-how is that possible?"
"How old is he?"
Their mouths fell open in shock, their faces filled with disbelief. Elder Long and Elder Qiao were very satisfied with their reactions and couldn't help chuckling!
They had also been startled when they first received Jiang Fan's documents. Though they had prepared themselves mentally, seeing how young Jiang Fan was when they met him was still somewhat hard to accept.
Let alone these people, who had had no mental preparation before Jiang Fan appeared right in front of them.
No one could accept that an eighteen-year-old boy had developed controlled nuclear fusion.
Looking at the incredulous experts and professors below, Dean Li continued!
"Society today changes with each passing day, in unpredictable ways. We can't judge today's young people through the same old lens."
"We should feel gratified and proud to see someone so young produce research results like these!"
"Because it shows that Dragon Country will become even stronger in the hands of this younger generation..."
Dean Li's words drew enthusiastic applause from everyone!
Indeed!
If he could research controlled nuclear fusion at such a young age, his future achievements would certainly be immeasurable. As his seniors, they ought to feel proud.
Seeing that everyone had accepted Jiang Fan, Dean Li spoke quietly to him!
"Jiang Fan, why don't you explain it to everyone?"
Jiang Fan nodded!
Then he said, "Thank you all for your encouragement!"
"Today, I'll explain the principles behind the equations and the future implementation plan!"
"First, I'll explain the principles behind the plasma equations for controlled nuclear fusion.
Plasma is extremely important to controlled nuclear fusion research.
The reason is simple. As long as the temperature is high enough, electrons will break free from atoms, and the fourth state of matter will emerge...
We all know the fundamental equations governing plasma's various elusive behaviors-the Vlasov and Maxwell equations [6]...
Just like Newton's laws governing three-body motion, the Navier-Stokes equations governing fluid motion, and the Boltzmann equation governing the motion of large numbers of molecules..."
Jiang Fan held no reference materials, because all this knowledge was in his mind!
He spent nearly two full hours explaining it to everyone. The experts and professors in the audience had initially been skeptical, but they found his explanations highly professional.
Moreover, Jiang Fan explained the principles behind many equations in the documents that they hadn't understood, making profound concepts clear and accessible!
This gave them great confidence in the future realization of controlled nuclear fusion.
They believed that with Jiang Fan leading the controlled nuclear fusion team, they would certainly achieve it in less than twenty years!
Perhaps they would even have the chance to see Jiang Fan develop controlled nuclear fusion within their lifetimes.
If that happened, Dragon Country would certainly undergo heaven-and-earth-shattering changes. The global order would also change because of Jiang Fan.
Dragon Country would no longer be suppressed by Beautiful Country!
At that thought, every expert and professor wore an excited expression, wishing that moment could arrive immediately!
But they all knew that although Jiang Fan's theory was sound, many problems would still arise in practice.
Still, with Jiang Fan's theory as their guide, developing controlled nuclear fusion was only a matter of time!
The moment Jiang Fan finished, thunderous applause erupted from the audience!
"Seniors, do you have any other questions?"
At that moment, an expert stood and asked Jiang Fan a question that concerned everyone!
"According to your plan, how long will it take to achieve controlled nuclear fusion?"
