Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 495 - 494 Calm

After listening to Major General Xiang Dong's words, Jiang Cheng responded, realizing what Major General Xiang Dong was here for.

So Jiang Cheng said helplessly, "So it's about those materials. I thought it was a big deal. Of course, I have a use for those materials! Otherwise, why would I buy them? Just to make my house look nice?"

"Everyone knows you have a use for them. The key is what you're doing with them. You aren't really at home making nuclear bombs, are you?"

Major General Xiang Dong was startled by Jiang Cheng's words, thinking that maybe Jiang Cheng really was making nuclear weapons, or else he wouldn't have answered like that.

"Nuclear weapons? Who told you I'm making nuclear bombs? Why would I even make that stuff if I have nothing to do at home? I'm buying those materials from the country to build a nuclear fusion reactor."

"Glad to hear you're not making nuclear bombs. What did you say you were building?"

"You're building a nuclear fusion reactor? Are you sure you're building a nuclear fusion reactor? You aren't lying to me, are you?"

Major General Xiang Dong felt relieved when Jiang Cheng denied making nuclear weapons, but hearing the word "fusion," he immediately jumped up and excitedly questioned Jiang Cheng.

He wasn't just a military officer but a highly educated general familiar with scientific research, which is why he was tasked with communicating with Jiang Cheng.

He knew very well how important this technology could be, not only for Flame Country but for humanity.

Knowing its significance was why he got so excited.

When Major General Xiang Dong heard about the fusion reactor, he just couldn't stay calm.

"Do you know what you just said? Nuclear fusion! Did I mishear? You weren't just saying that casually, were you? Is this really true?"

The usually composed Major General suddenly seemed like a different person, grabbing Jiang Cheng by the shoulders and shouting incoherently.

Seeing him like this, Jin would never have thought he was a promising major general.

Anyone who saw him now would probably think he was some lunatic who escaped from a mental institution.

Major General Xiang Dong's sudden change left Jiang Cheng speechless.

Jiang Cheng wondered why Major General Xiang Dong was so excited when it wasn't even Jiang Cheng's own research breakthrough.

Jiang Cheng took two steps back to avoid Major General Xiang Dong's grasp, not wanting to be too close to a madman.

Once Major General Xiang Dong calmed down, Jiang Cheng continued talking to him, "What's there to fuss about? I don't know why you're getting so worked up. It's just a research project, nothing big."

After hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Major General Xiang Dong couldn't stay calm. Such a significant technology was just a project to Jiang Cheng.

"What do you mean it's no big deal? Do you know what this means for the country? How can such an important thing be treated like an ordinary project, and how can you blame me for getting excited?"

Major General Xiang Dong couldn't understand Jiang Cheng's mindset. In his world, such a research breakthrough would bring immense joy.

A technique that could change human civilization; if an ordinary person discovered it, they'd be over the moon, probably hoping to live off this project for the rest of their life.

Major General Xiang Dong wasn't wrong; most people couldn't stay calm about this technology.

But Jiang Cheng wasn't like most people, which was why he seemed so calm.

In Jiang Cheng's eyes, while the technology was significant, it wasn't something he would constantly concern himself with.

Jiang Cheng only got excited momentarily when he succeeded. But as time went on, he grew calm, feeling nothing.

In Jiang Cheng's future, there would be many similar achievements. If each made him excited for a long time,

he wouldn't be able to continue researching but would spend his days in constant excitement.

"It's really no big deal to me, just speaking the truth, but not many people believe it."

Seeing Major General Xiang Dong's reaction, Jiang Cheng just shrugged helplessly.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's innocent look made Major General Xiang Dong even more unable to stay calm.

But he couldn't refute Jiang Cheng's words because Jiang Cheng was telling the truth.

In a genius like Jiang Cheng's eyes, controlled nuclear fusion wasn't a big deal.

Major General Xiang Dong wanted to continue complaining about Jiang Cheng but didn't know how.

Jiang Cheng's understated style left him with no way to argue.

"Alright, it really might be nothing for you. You said you're already building the reactor? So, you've completed the controlled nuclear fusion technology?"

Left with no choice, he focused on the nuclear fusion issue, ignoring everything else.

The materials issue no longer mattered; what he was most concerned with was Jiang Cheng's latest research breakthrough.

"Of course, it's already completed. I've been busy with the reactor these past days. If you hadn't showed up causing trouble, it would've been finished in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Major General Xiang Dong eagerly suggested, "Can we spread this technology nationwide? Let you lead and the country build the reactor."

Since Jiang Cheng had completed the technology, the most pressing issue was its national dissemination for Major General Xiang Dong.

However, he was concerned about Jiang Cheng's feelings, afraid of being seen as taking credit for the technology, thus suggesting Jiang Cheng to lead it himself.

Jiang Cheng was quite calm about this issue as he planned a significant domestic rollout.

"You don't need to suggest that. Once I've finished building it, I'll take the plans to the leaders for discussion.

Once the plan is approved, construction can start immediately.

But first, let me finish what I'm currently working on. Otherwise, I won't be able to proceed, especially if people keep bothering me like you have. Who knows when it'll get done."

Jiang Cheng was full of resentment towards Major General Xiang Dong's interruption, not forgetting to mention it.

"Then just focus on your research, and I won't disturb you anymore."

Fearing that he indeed interfered with Jiang Cheng's research, Major General Xiang Dong quickly took his leave.

He really was scared of hindering the reactor project; such a significant project was beyond his responsibility.

Jiang Cheng quickly returned to the basement to continue his unfinished construction work.

Soon, there were vibrations around the laboratory again, this time even stronger.
