Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 499 - 498: Probing

The fusion reactor project requires a strong team and the support of the Guo Family's comprehensive scientific research capabilities to be successfully built.

It would take hundreds of outstanding scientists working together to achieve this; it's not something that a single talent can change. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The Yan Family only has Jiang Cheng as a talent, but in other aspects, they do not meet the requirements for building a reactor. Mr. President, please rest assured. I pledge my years of reputation that in ten years, the Yan Family will definitely be unable to construct a fusion reactor.

Everything he analyzed was correct. The Yan Family's research strength is no match for the United States, so his analysis made sense, except he underestimated Jiang Cheng's capabilities. Jiang Cheng alone surpasses hundreds of scientists.

Relying solely on his research, the Yan Family can outperform a hundred excellent researchers.

Jiang Cheng alone can research all reactor technologies, allowing the Yan Family to start constructing a fusion reactor ten years ahead of schedule.

After the scientist finished speaking, he looked at Trump, waiting for his final judgment.

Perhaps his words were too confident, also staking his years of accumulated reputation.

Well, it indeed seems like the Yan Family does not yet have the capability to build a reactor, but those pieces of intelligence should also be genuine. Why is the Yan Family making those construction preparations?

In the end, Trump chose to believe his analysis, though he remained doubtful about the intelligence.

The scientist also had his explanation for this issue, so he immediately responded, "This matter is very simple to explain. I think the Yan Family's construction preparations are just making some preparations in advance, perhaps to mislead us about the situation."

"After all, it's just some preliminary construction work, and it can mislead our judgment. What loss does the Yan Family suffer in doing so?"

"After all, those preparations will be used sooner or later," Trump heard and did not immediately speak but instead fell into deep thought.

His expression seemed like he was making a difficult decision, struggling for a long time before finally making a choice.

For the Yan Family's reactor construction matter, we will temporarily assume that they cannot build it. Let's set this time frame at ten years! All departments, please prepare for this situation.

First, we must accelerate our research. Within ten years, we must develop controllable nuclear fusion technology. To achieve this goal, the Guo Family will increase investment efforts, and you don't have to worry about funding. I just want the final results.

The scientist showed a satisfied smile upon hearing Trump's guarantee.

Having more research funds made him very happy. No scientist would find their funding excessive.

After Trump instructed to speed up the research pace, he turned to the Fungus Faction and said, "Prepare yourselves too. If we can't catch up with the Yan Family's research progress within ten years, then we will have to use unconventional methods to resolve the situation."

"Even if we have to launch a full-scale battle, we can't just sit back and watch the Yan Family complete the fusion reactor. If necessary, fighting is our only option!"

Trump could clearly see that if the Yan Family completed the plan, they would gradually surpass the United States.

Therefore, he chose to take action in advance to destroy the results while they were still budding. Ten years is the final deadline.

If the United States can't catch up, they will resort to battle to maintain their current position.

Fungus Faction members nodded seriously, preparing to immediately go down and arrange related matters.

Should we create some actions to at least prevent the Yan Family from developing smoothly? Even if we don't need to act right away, we should arrange some small maneuvers.

We can totally let our allied countries take action behind the scenes first to test the Yan Family's reaction, and at the same time, create some issues for them.

The Fungus Faction commander presented his opinion, which is also a common tactic used by the United States.

They don't take action first but watch from behind and let their subordinates attack, dealing with the opponent before making a personal move.

This tactic has been used many times over the years, and it's applied skillfully.

Each time, it achieves the desired results very well.

"Testing the Yan Family's reaction? That's a very good suggestion. We indeed cannot let the Yan Family develop peacefully. Distracting them with some trouble is also a good idea."

"This matter is handed over to the Fungus Faction to handle. You are more skilled in this aspect. I look forward to your good news."

Trump thought for a moment and then agreed with the Fungus Faction commander's suggestion.

However, he advised maintaining discretion and not personally getting involved right now. Let the Guo Family act; we'll observe from the sidelines. It's not yet time to start a battle with the Yan Family, as we're not fully prepared.

But in the end, Trump reminded the other party to act carefully and leave no evidence for the Yan Family.

Although he has decided to go to battle with the Yan Family if they can't keep up, it's not yet the time for confrontation.

Currently, the United States is very powerful, with Fungal Power dominating the globe without challengers.

However, the Yan Family, after so many years of development, isn't weak, and if a battle ensues now,

even if the United States could achieve ultimate victory, it would come at a great cost.

What's more, now the Yan Family has Iron Man Armor, and Trump is very aware of its combat power.

If the Yan Family deploys Iron Man Armor in battle, there's nothing on this side that can counter it.

The United States' humanoid armor is still under research and can't be brought out to face the Yan Family.

Without being able to limit the opponent's humanoid armor, the United States will become passive in the battle, and the losses could be immeasurable.

Trump set the timeline at ten years because the United States needs time to research humanoid armor.

Although last time Jiang Cheng outwitted the United States in humanoid armor, the United States managed to make some progress, but the research requires more time to complete.

Based on the reports from his subordinates, ten years will be enough to complete the research, so the battle's timeline is set for ten years later.

This timeline is enough for the United States to prepare for the struggle, which is why Trump declared that failure to develop controllable nuclear fusion in ten years would lead to a confrontation to hinder the Yan Family's development.

But for now, the United States isn't fully ready for a battle; many things remain unfinished.

Rushing into battle would unnecessarily increase the United States' losses and could even result in losing the confrontation.

Such an outcome is not what Trump wishes to see, which is why he hopes they will act carefully.
