Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 498 - 497 Comfort

After those two heard Trump's words, they stopped arguing as they realized they had been somewhat out of line.

Thus, neither spoke again and just glared at each other, trying to use this means to overpower the other.

Seeing the two staring at each other, Trump didn't have much of a solution, but since they stopped arguing, he no longer wanted to intervene.

As long as they remain calm during the meeting, it doesn't matter to him as the chief if they fight to the death afterward.

The meeting room became quiet momentarily due to the earlier incident.

No one wanted to speak at this moment, so the room seemed frozen, with only the two glaring at each other visible.

Seeing the atmosphere cool down, Trump spoke to ease the awkward tension.

Alright, don't be angry, everyone is just discussing the issue, your work is outstanding, and I believe everyone can see it.

No one doubts the work of your intelligence department, being able to obtain this intelligence proves your excellence. Future intelligence work will still be assigned to you; next, Flame Country's intelligence must be prioritized, and detailed information must be obtained.

He first comforted the intelligence chief, as the meeting couldn't go on without him.

Many things ahead still require the effort of the intelligence chief, exploration of Flame Country's intelligence still needs his men.

Please rest assured, Chief, we at the CA will complete the mission. I will continue to deploy agents to Flame Country; no sacrifice can stop us, our agents are willing to give everything for the country!

The intelligence chief immediately assured the chief, an implied military order, revealing his determination towards this mission.

After guaranteeing the chief, the intelligence chief looked toward the scientist as if demonstrating.

His demeanor seemed to say: "We've done our part, what about you?"

The scientist, seeing the intelligence chief's demeanor, didn't respond much but simply snorted.

After hearing the intelligence chief's guarantee, Trump nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since you said this, I won't arrange anything further; you are the expert in intelligence, and I'll leave this work to you."

Trump then turned to the scientist with a puzzled expression and asked: "You think it is impossible for Flame Country to fully master the technology to build the fusion reactor now, so what are you basing your judgment on? You cannot act on impulse when it comes to this matter. You are our country's most authoritative expert in this field; your suggestions are extremely important, so I hope you explain properly. This concerns many subsequent actions of the country, and the most appropriate predictions must be made."

The scientist faced with Trump's questions immediately responded: "We have studied reactor technology for many years, and we have always been at the forefront, so on this project, I have a significant say."

The technology of fusion reactors is a vast engineering system, and the container capable of accommodating fusion reactions is a temporarily insurmountable challenge. Many technologies cannot be solved now, so I say Flame Country cannot master the construction technology.

The scientist's tone was quite confident, stemming from the confidence brought by years of research.

He believes he is an absolute authority in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, hence dared to make such a definitive judgment.

Unfortunately, he was overly confident in himself, leading to erroneous judgments.

Jiang Cheng's talent is something he can't comprehend; by measuring Jiang Cheng with himself, his judgment of the situation is inevitably entirely wrong.

Seeing the scientist's certainty, Trump also felt a slight shift in his heart.

He certainly trusts the scientist's words, which is why he is present at this meeting.

However, Flame Country's recent actions are inexplicable, preventing him from fully believing the other's words.

Thus, Trump asked again: "Then what about Jiang Cheng's paper? So far, no one has found errors in the paper; it seems like Jiang Cheng's paper is flawless. He should have completed the experiment on controllable nuclear fusion."

The scientist was well-prepared for this question and began explaining to the chief.

I certainly know Jiang Cheng's paper and clearly understand its importance. The paper is genuine, so there is no need for doubt. However, the paper is one thing, constructing a reactor is another.

Keep in mind the gap between completing a project in the laboratory and formally starting large-scale construction. Generally, once a project is completed in the lab, it requires a long time of experimentation before formal construction can begin.

Typically, after a successful experiment, many years of preparation are required, let alone a complex project like a fusion reactor. According to our analysis, Flame Country needs at least over ten years before formal reactor construction can start.

The scientist shared his team's assessment, but unfortunately, he completely underestimated Jiang Cheng's strength.

"Is it going to take another ten years? What's the accuracy of this analysis?

I must know a definite timeline to make specific arrangements."

Trump immediately inquired again, as he dared not show any negligence regarding this matter.

This time is already the fastest estimate, based on analysis of Flame Country's overall research level, considering Jiang Cheng's role."

This conclusion derives from Jiang Cheng's paper, undergoing our entire team's detailed analysis, extremely reliable, you can be completely assured, Chief.

The scientist began explaining to Trump, with a tone of great confidence.

After listening to the scientist's analysis and report, Trump's inner worries decreased significantly.

Perhaps this confidence moved Trump, leading him to choose to trust his country's scientist.

However, he remembered Jiang Cheng's previous achievements, still not completely at ease with this genius.

Hence, asking again uneasily: "Have you considered Jiang Cheng, the influence of that genius mind on this matter? You cannot look at such a talented individual with an ordinary perspective.

Remember, a genius can change many things, and I'm afraid Jiang Cheng's involvement might advance the timeline, catching us off guard."

Trump's worry is entirely due to Jiang Cheng's previous performances, as Jiang Cheng's past shocking results truly cannot be denied.

Therefore, Trump is being very prudent because he fears Jiang Cheng will once again make striking moves.

The scientist noticed Trump's concerns and began comforting him. Jiang Cheng is undoubtedly a genius, even I must admit that, but no matter how talented the individual, they have limitations.
