Sometimes, prioritizing speed isn’t a good thing.

Research is meticulous work. It allows no room for error.

Many of the academicians nodded in strong agreement after hearing Chloe Sinclair’s words.

"Chloe is right. For researchers like us, even if we don’t achieve a breakthrough, we must never rush just for the sake of speed. Sometimes, progress being slow isn’t a bad thing."

Over the years, labs in every country have tried to rush their research. But in the end, not only did they have nothing to show for it, they also became laughingstocks.

"Patience is paramount in experiments. It seems you understand that quite thoroughly."

Many people looked at Chloe Sinclair with admiration.

Chloe Sinclair simply gave a slight, polite nod in acknowledgment.

Then, Joel Quincy asked, "You just said the flow-fusion reactor wouldn’t take several years to complete. In that case, how long do you think it would take for you to assemble the device all by yourself?"

Chloe Sinclair gave a wry smile. "Professor, even though I know the blueprints, it would be practically impossible for me to complete it all by myself."

A single flow-fusion reactor is about twenty to thirty meters wide and weighs up to a hundred tons. If she were to build it alone, there’s no telling how long it would take.

"Find me twenty workers. I can finish it in half a month."

Half a month?

When the scientists in the conference room heard that timeframe, their expressions changed drastically, and they all gasped in shock.

’Has Chloe Sinclair gone mad?’

’Finishing the assembly of a flow-fusion reactor in just half a month?’

’Even the Mark Device took the experimental team the better part of a year to assemble.’

’For Chloe Sinclair to make such an arrogant boast.’

A few of the lab’s staff members already resented Chloe Sinclair for being parachuted in, and upon hearing her claim, one of them scoffed.

"Heh, half a month? I bet you couldn’t even finish it in half a year."

Chloe Sinclair heard the mockery, but she didn’t get angry. Instead, she calmly pulled up her data.

"Senior, you should be aware that our country’s greatest talent is creating miracles."

In a life-or-death crisis, hundreds or even thousands of people can build a massive hospital on a thirty- to forty-thousand-square-meter plot of land in half a month.

What’s even more incredible is that it can be fully operational the very next day. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

And what can other countries get done in half a month?

It might take half a month for a repairman to even show up to fix a refrigerator, and another half a month for the actual repair.

As long as people have conviction and a goal to strive for, what is impossible?

"Twenty people helping with the assembly is more than enough."

A slight smile touched Chloe Sinclair’s lips as she dropped a bombshell. "What’s more, my flow-fusion technology isn’t just for fusion. Any nuclear device can be converted into a flow-fusion device."

Current research fields like laser fusion, Z-pinch, and KTX can all be successfully retrofitted.

The moment Chloe Sinclair finished speaking, the conference room fell utterly silent. The only sound was the hushed breathing of those present.

Chloe Sinclair wasn’t anxious. She simply waited, quietly observing the academicians’ reactions.

Suddenly, the eyes of several high-ranking academicians welled up with tears, their voices trembling as they spoke. "Is everything you’ve said true? Are you certain you can convert these nuclear devices?"

Chloe Sinclair’s expression was grave as she answered firmly, "Yes. I am certain."

After a long silence, Joel Quincy finally spoke. "Good. Very good."

His eyes filled with a complex mixture of relief, sorrow, and joy. "Although I’ve taken you on as my student, I find that there’s nothing I can teach you."
