The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Ali Laboratory Base, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

"Professor Wang, are you saying this device is used for nuclear fusion experiments?"

Li Xiulun, Yang Qiming, Zhang Guangxian, and the others stared dumbfounded at the device in front of them, their faces filled with disbelief.

As is well known, there are two ways to achieve nuclear energy: nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fission is a process in which a heavy atomic nucleus is bombarded by a neutron and splits into two or more lighter atomic nuclei. This process is like a domino effect; once the first domino falls, it triggers a continuous chain reaction that releases enormous amounts of energy.

In contrast, nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei fuse into one heavy atomic nucleus. In nuclear fusion, the fusion of two atomic nuclei requires enormous energy to overcome the repulsive force between them, and only nuclear fission has such a capability.

The principle of a hydrogen bomb is nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Using an atomic bomb as the trigger, a hydrogen bomb will release even more energy than an atomic bomb.

The nuclear fusion reaction in a hydrogen bomb has a reaction temperature of over 100 million degrees Celsius, which is several times higher than the 15 million degrees Celsius temperature at the core of the sun. In addition, it also requires extremely high pressure.

In other words, achieving such controlled nuclear fusion is simply impossible.

The global scientific consensus is that to achieve controlled nuclear fusion, whether it is a superconducting magnet-based device for confining high-temperature plasma using a tokamak or an inertial confinement device that uses lasers or particle beams to drive fusion fuel to achieve high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, both are still in the experimental stage.

No scientist or research group has yet been able to achieve an operating time of more than 72 hours.

Now Wang Duoyu actually says he brought back such a device?
Most importantly, Wang Duoyu himself is the first person to conduct theoretical mathematical research, although he also led many major national scientific research projects such as the Longxiao stealth fighter and the Nantianmen Project.

But he's not a nuclear energy researcher, so how did he do it?
Inside the laboratory's warehouse, everyone was nearly driven to madness, bombarding the warehouse with questions, instantly turning it into a chaotic scene resembling a bustling market.

Wang Duoyu had to make a gesture to quiet everyone down before he could speak:
"Everyone, please be quiet. I know you have many questions, but these questions are not important. You will understand later."

"I don't have that much time to waste. Now, immediately, get this device installed in the lab and get it running smoothly."

"Remember, this is a miniature sun device. Every piece of alloy is crucial, even a small screw is a vital component. You cannot be careless in the slightest during the installation process."

Although the people in front of him were all seasoned researchers, Wang Duoyu cast a vote of no confidence with his feet based solely on their unsteady behavior just now.

When it comes to aircraft, what he needs are researchers who remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses before them, not 'spirited young men' who get excited over the slightest achievement.

Wang Duoyu couldn't understand the feelings of these professors and experts who were engaged in nuclear energy research, because he was not a researcher directly involved in the research and development, and he didn't have that kind of empathy.

After arranging everything, Wang Duoyu was about to inspect other research projects when his eldest daughter called:

"Dad, something terrible has happened! Mom and my stepmother are fighting!"

what?
Did Liu Xiaoli and Zhu Ling get into a fight?

"Wang Qianqian, you're not just saying this to trick me into going back, are you?"

On the phone, Wang Duoyu asked suspiciously.

To be fair, it's possible that Wang Yifei is involved, since he's been out of the public eye for a while now, and his eldest daughter is about to start high school. Also, the album tracklist he promised her hasn't been given to her yet.

So it's perfectly normal for her to make up an excuse to send him back at this point.

"Oh dear, Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you, Mom did fight with my stepmother, and it all started because of my sister-in-law."

According to Wang Yifei, the fight between Liu Xiaoli and Zhu Ling initially stemmed from an argument about introducing Wang Junhong to potential partners.

Although Liu Xiaoli is not Wang Junhong's biological mother, she raised him. The debt of gratitude for raising him is greater than that for giving birth to him. Since this is a major event in his life, she should have been involved, or at the very least, she should have been informed.

After all, since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers.

Unfortunately, Zhu Ling interfered, and since Wang Junhong and Huang Huiru had almost established a relationship, she revealed it at that time, which made Liu Xiaoli very angry.

Today, Liu Xiaoli took the children to watch the Olympic Games program, and coincidentally, Zhu Ling was also watching the program with Wang Junhong.

When they got home, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark. But Zhu Ling wasn't one to back down, and she snapped back.

The two started arguing, and in the middle of it, Liu Xiaoli couldn't hold back and slapped Zhu Ling, calling her a shameless old hag.

Well, this really ignited Zhu Ling's anger.

In her eyes, Liu Xiaoli was the culprit who stole her happy life. If it weren't for Liu Xiaoli, Zhu Ling would have been in a much better situation.

So she called Liu Xiaoli a thief, and the two got into a fight.

Fortunately, Wang Yifei and the other children stopped them, preventing them from getting seriously injured, but they still had to call a doctor to come to their home to apply medicine.

After hearing this, Wang Duoyu felt his head was about to explode.

Regardless, he definitely favored Liu Xiaoli, not only because she gave birth to so many children for him, but also because she loved Wang Duoyu to the core and had never abandoned him all these years.

As for Zhu Ling, her leaving back then was her own choice, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Moreover, she cruelly left Wang Junhong at such a young age, and now she's come back, saying she regrets it.

Hmph, she deserved it.

Therefore, in this kind of situation, Wang Duoyu naturally sides with his relatives regardless of the facts, since he knows who is close to him.

However, Wang Junhong, who was caught in the middle, was in the most difficult situation.

Because no matter what, Zhu Ling is his biological mother. Although he was abandoned by Zhu Ling when he was young, Zhu Ling later regretted it and made up for a lot of Wang Junhong's regrets.

Especially during his growth, Zhu Ling provided him with considerable companionship.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Junhong trusts Zhu Ling when it comes to choosing a partner.

If Wang Duoyu sides with Liu Xiaoli, it's uncertain whether Wang Junhong will become estranged from his father as a result.

Even though this makes Wang Junhong an ungrateful wretch, Wang Duoyu would still feel heartbroken if he saw his eldest brother abandon his birth mother, Zhu Ling, because of this.

"These two really know how to give me trouble!"

Wang Duoyu cursed under his breath and said to Wang Yifei on the other end of the phone: Wait for me, I'm coming back now.

After hanging up the phone, he notified the captain to immediately apply for a flight back to Harbin and depart as soon as possible.

Seven or eight hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Beijing Capital International Airport.

The convoy of cars picking him up was already waiting on the tarmac. Wang Duoyu got into a car and headed straight home.

laugh!
The car came to a smooth stop in front of No. 87 Zhongguancun West Street. Wang Duoyu got out of the car, pushed open the door, and went inside.

The courtyard was completely different from its previous tense atmosphere. Zhu Ling wasn't there; she must have gone back.

"father!"

Upon entering the living room, Bai Doufu rushed over immediately. Her expression was almost tearful, her voice choked with sobs. She hugged her father's leg and burst into tears.

"Okay, stop crying."

Wang Duoyu gently patted the little guy's back to comfort him, but his gaze was fixed on Liu Xiaoli:
"Xiaoli, are you alright?"

"I can't die!"

Liu Xiaoli said stubbornly, but she felt warm inside.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but don't you have enough to worry about with your two little ones? The eldest was there because he didn't want you to worry so much since you were pregnant, but you don't appreciate it at all."

After sitting down with the white tofu in his arms, Wang Duoyu casually picked up Wang Sixin and said while holding the child:
“His eldest son isn’t a child anymore. He has his own interests and preferences. As parents, we can’t control everything. You can’t worry about him forever, can you? You should let go when it’s time.”

"Besides, Zhu Ling isn't close to us. Don't you know what she's up to? She's just envious and jealous of you. Can't you be more magnanimous and generous?"

"If something happens to you, what will happen to the children? What will happen to me?"

After speaking to Liu Xiaoli, before she could refute him, Wang Duoyu immediately looked at Wang Jun'an and the other children:
"You two are really something. Your mother was arguing with someone, and you didn't know how to mediate? And you were arguing in our own home. Is our home a place for arguing?"

"By the way, where's your eldest brother?"

Wang Yifei pouted and said with an unnatural expression, "My older brother has gone out."

"Call him and tell him to come home right away."

Without even asking, it's obvious that Wang Junhong went to comfort Zhu Ling, or rather, took Zhu Ling to get her medicine applied.

Half an hour later, Wang Junhong rushed back and became immediately reserved when he saw his father.

"Hey boss, come here and sit here." Wang Duoyu waved to his eldest son.

After he sat down, Wang Duoyu said earnestly, "Boss, I know this matter puts you in a difficult position, but you have to understand one thing: we are family. Zhu Ling is your birth mother, that's true, but she truly abandoned you back then, and that can never be changed."

"Xiaoli raised you to adulthood. The family still keeps your childhood photo albums, as you know."

"My point in saying this is not to tell you to ignore Zhu Ling, but rather that you should try to balance the relationship between your aunt and your stepmother."

"You're an adult now, and you'll be getting married soon. You'll understand these things very quickly."

Wang Junhong looked guilty. He apologized once, then whispered in defense:

"But Dad, I'm Mom's only son."

Yes, Zhu Ling only has one son, Wang Junhong. After her parents pass away, Wang Junhong will be her only family.

Liu Xiaoli is different. In addition to Wang Junhong, she also has six other children: Wang Junan, Wang Junkang, Wang Yifei, Wang Chuyue, Wang Junxian, and Wang Sixin.

And more importantly, she has Wang Duoyu as her husband.

In comparison, Zhu Ling is indeed too miserable and pitiful.

"Don't I know?" Wang Duoyu patted the other person on the shoulder and said:

"But this isn't about right or wrong, it's about who's closer to whom, understand? You have to make choices. Of course, I'm not saying you should ignore your stepmother from now on, but you need to find a balance yourself."

Saying this is pointless; this isn't a math problem where there's only one solution.

How could he know how to achieve balance, or to what extent it constitutes good balance?

Wang Duoyu didn't talk about these things with the boss anymore, but instead addressed everyone:
"Alright, school starts tomorrow or the day after, so everyone go home tomorrow."

"Big Fish, have you forgotten something?" Wang Yifei finally came over, hugged her father, and asked in a coquettish tone.

Her father came back just now and has been comforting her mother. He's been busy with all that, so she hasn't had a chance to ask.

Now that everything is settled, she naturally wants to find out the details.

"I haven't forgotten anything, can you give me a hint?" Wang Duoyu chuckled and playfully pinched her nose.

Liu Xiaoli immediately glared at her with murderous intent, "Wang Qianqian, are you trying to cause trouble again?"

"Big Fish, look, your wife is jealous again."

"Be serious, and stop using my clothes to wipe your snot."

"Hey! Big Fish Bro, explain yourself clearly, where's my snot?"

Bai Doufu also came over to the other side, hugging her father's arm and joining in the fun with her silly antics.

Wang Jun'an, who was standing to the side, rolled his eyes and said, "How boring."

In fact, he also envied his sister for being so close to their father, but as a man, he would never do such a thing.

The topic was thus diverted until Wang Yifei stormed back to her bedroom, only then remembering that she had originally intended to ask her "Big Fish Brother" if he had collected all the songs from her fifth album.

result!!!

Ah!
It's all her mother's fault for interrupting; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"No wonder Mom and Stepmother were fighting; I think it's because she's too jealous."

Her stepmother has been away from her father for many years and has been living a nomadic life ever since.

Although her mother said that more than ten years ago, her stepmother Zhu Ling would occasionally come over under the pretense of visiting her older brother, taking the opportunity to get close to her father.

Her goal was to steal her father away from her mother.

Although she didn't succeed, her stepmother had quite a few tricks up her sleeve.

From these events, Wang Yifei became increasingly certain that her mother, Liu Xiaoli, was indeed extremely jealous.

Ugh!
The next day, the family packed up and headed straight to the airport.

At 11:30 a.m., Wang Duoyu and his family finally returned to their home after being away for nearly a month.

After returning to Harbin, Wang Duoyu could clearly feel that the temperature was much cooler.

Even though it's noon, the temperature is only around 20 degrees Celsius at most.

It's August 31st! Summer isn't over yet, but judging from the situation, summer in Harbin is almost over.

The day after arriving in Harbin, the children went back to school and the family returned to their normal routines.

After the Olympics, Wang Yifei's fourth album was successfully released.

This album contains songs such as "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion", "Blue and White Porcelain", "Broken Bridge and Lingering Snow", "The First Dream" and "Serious Snow", all of which are of very high quality.

The album's title track is "Blue and White Porcelain," which is catchy and has a beautiful melody.

After its release, the album was downloaded more than three million times on the three major internet platforms on the same day.

Such alarming data has prompted many in the Chinese entertainment industry to cry wolf.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case, since the Olympics just ended, but the hype surrounding them hasn't died down yet.

Wang Yifei's album was released in September, how did it generate such great energy?
More importantly, Wang Yifei didn't do any promotional activities; she relied almost entirely on the quality of her albums and online and offline advertising.

Only on weekends can Wang Yifei spare two days to go on promotional trips.

Within a week, the album sold over ten million copies, with online purchases exceeding eight million and offline purchases reaching three million six hundred thousand.

With the sales of her fourth album, Wang Yifei's reputation as a pop diva has been firmly established.

The "little" in this pop star's name doesn't refer to her fame, but rather to her age.

Of course, many people still think that she is just a pop diva and cannot compare to those senior singers.

Because the music scene is currently overflowing with great songs, constantly emerging one after another.

Before the National Day holiday in October, Zhu Ling suddenly appeared at Harbin Institute of Technology and found Wang Duoyu.

"Let's talk?"

"Okay, come on, let's go to my house for a visit."

As soon as Wang Duoyu spoke, Zhu Ling's expression changed immediately, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly:
"Let's go to the coffee shop near the school gate."

"No, I can't go to those places. Either we can talk in my office, or you can come to my house."

The reason Zhu Ling was able to corner him at the entrance of the mathematics department building must have been because Wang Junhong tipped her off.

Because Wang Duoyu doesn't come to the math department very often.

Especially after Wang Junhong won the Fields Medal two years ago, he has hardly come over at all.

In other words, he usually spends most of his time at home in his study or villa, busy with his work.

Only his family knew his itinerary, and the only person willing to tell Zhu Ling this news was Wang Junhong.

“Okay, then let’s go to your office.” Zhu Ling took a deep breath and said.

Wang Duoyu immediately said to Yuan Zuliang behind him, "Go and call the boss over for me."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling's pretty face changed again.

She hadn't expected Wang Duoyu to be so cautious; it seemed he didn't want to be alone with her in a room.

Wang Duoyu and Zhu Ling had just sat down in the office when Wang Junhong followed them in.

"Dad, Stepmother, why did you call me here? This is your adult business, I..."

"I asked you to come over, please sit down," Wang Duoyu said, pointing to the chair next to him.

"Although I don't know why you've come to see me, I'm sure it's not good news. Alright, our son is here now, so just say what you want to say." (End of Chapter)
