Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 494 - 493: Reputation

Now we are just waiting for him to complete his previous vision and replace his laboratory with an infinite energy source.

After completing the experiment, Jiang Cheng didn't rest and immediately started building the reactor.

Building a fusion reactor isn't a simple feat; usually, it requires hundreds of experts from related fields collaborating to complete this complex task.

However, Jiang Cheng doesn't need that much help; he alone can accomplish the work of those hundreds of experts.

Moreover, with Lucy, the artificial intelligence assisting him, Jiang Cheng is confident he can complete the reactor's construction on his own.

Very soon, a few days had passed, and Jiang Cheng hadn't appeared in everyone's sight.

But Jiang Cheng's style was something many people were accustomed to, so it didn't feel particularly strange.

In the past few days, slight vibrations have been emanating from the laboratory, and the source seems to be coming from underground.

Many passing by noticed the ground vibrations, but Jiang Cheng was hidden inside the laboratory conducting who knows what experiment.

The staff in the campus were particularly curious about what their boss was researching.

Because every time Jiang Cheng secludes himself in the laboratory, he always emerges with astonishing results.

Every time Jiang Cheng disappears for a while, he returns with something revolutionary.

However, these Cosmic Umbrella employees were merely curious; they definitely wouldn't dare interrupt their boss's research.

When Jiang Cheng is in a research mode, even their CEO Zhang Manlin doesn't dare disturb him, and any matters have to wait until Jiang Cheng comes out to address.

The employees of Cosmic Umbrella could only wait in eager curiosity, while others became impatient and went directly to ask Jiang Cheng.

The one who found Jiang Cheng was Major General Xiang Dong, who has been communicating with him consistently, directly coming to Jiang Cheng's laboratory to inquire about the research.

Overall, whatever research Jiang Cheng was conducting, the government usually wouldn't interfere, but the commotion this time couldn't be ignored.

Because these days, Jiang Cheng utilized his connections with the government to obtain many special materials.

These materials were related to nuclear engineering, things that couldn't be bought, which is why Jiang Cheng purchased them from the government.

These materials are extremely sensitive, and the quantity that Jiang Cheng bought aroused concerns.

Some people from the Fungus Faction even thought that Jiang Cheng was trying to build a nuclear bomb, otherwise, why would he need so many nuclear engineering materials?

Considering Jiang Cheng's present status, the government typically wouldn't intervene in his research.

But this time, the materials Jiang Cheng requested from the government were too sensitive, thus they dispatched Xiang Dong to investigate.

Though everyone believed Jiang Cheng wouldn't do anything detrimental to national security, caution is always warranted.

Moreover, with Jiang Cheng's research capabilities and the materials purchased this time, he could produce a nuclear bomb in his own home.

Nuclear weapons are a very sensitive issue, which is why Flame Country is paying such close attention.

If Jiang Cheng really went off the rails and started creating a nuclear bomb for fun, they couldn't ignore it.

Who knows what kind of trouble could ensue from Jiang Cheng creating a nuclear bomb, it's a weapon capable of instantly destroying a city, not something to be trifled with.

However, the government was mistaken this time; Jiang Cheng wouldn't simply build a nuclear bomb at home for amusement.

All the materials were intended for constructing a fusion reactor, and Jiang Cheng had been busy with this task these past days; the tremors from the lab's underground were due to this.

Given the reactor was related to nuclear fusion, the materials indeed had many similarities to those needed for nuclear bomb construction, leading to the misunderstanding.

It's Jiang Cheng's fault for not notifying the authorities before starting the construction; who would have thought he'd pull off controlled nuclear fusion?

After all, it's such a challenging project, and Jiang Cheng's inconspicuous development didn't lead people to think of this possibility.

Jiang Cheng didn't think much of it then; he just wanted to construct the reactor first.

This would facilitate future experiments and accumulate experience for large-scale construction down the line.

At the time, Jiang Cheng planned to communicate with the leaders after completion, leading to the government's misunderstanding.

Major General Xiang Dong directly came to the laboratory, asking Jiang Cheng's secretary Xia Xiaowei to bring him out, saying he had something very important to discuss.

Xia Xiaowei naturally didn't dare neglect the representative from the Fungus Faction, promptly running to the basement to notify Jiang Cheng.

Consequently, Jiang Cheng couldn't continue with the reactor construction and had to come out to deal with Xiang Dong's matter.

"Why have you come this time? Can't you see I'm busy here! It's best not to interrupt me during my research, otherwise it could greatly affect my efficiency."

"Quickly tell me what's going on. If it's nothing urgent, let me finish my work first; I still have a lot to handle!"

Jiang Cheng showed no pleasant expression towards Major General Xiang Dong, his face full of complaints.

Anyone deeply focused on a task would be irritated if interrupted by outsiders.

Jiang Cheng was currently in such a restless mood, so naturally, his tone was harsh.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's complaints, Major General Xiang Dong wasn't bothered; he understood the mindset of Jiang Cheng the scientific fanatic well.

For someone immersed in research, they wouldn't care even if the sky were falling.

His direct intrusion into someone else's research was understandably treated this way by Jiang Cheng.

I really had no choice! If it weren't for orders from above, I wouldn't want to interrupt your research now either; who doesn't know how important your research is? If it affects the progress, I wouldn't bear that responsibility.

Major General Xiang Dong had quite a positive attitude, starting with venting about his superiors before gradually stating his purpose.

This time I came mainly because someone above noticed that many materials you purchased were intended for nuclear weaponry, which is why they sent me to inquire about it. Regarding nuclear weapons, such matters are significant, and the authorities wanted to pay attention.

Major General Xiang Dong casually explained his mission to Jiang Cheng with no hint of confrontation, merely inquiring about what Jiang Cheng was up to, knowing the idea of him making nuclear bombs at home was unbelievable. Jiang Cheng's name held significant credibility among the high ranks of Flame Country.

However, due to the gravity of the situation, Major General Xiang Dong was sent to ask; without knowing the details, they couldn't rest assured.

Major General Xiang Dong took note of Jiang Cheng's lack of response and continued: "After all, these materials are all controlled ones, and only you could acquire them; others can't even dream of it. Although they were sold to you, you should still explain their purpose."
