However, the huge temperature change caused many students' bodies to not adapt quickly enough, resulting in a large number of colds and the school hospital being overcrowded again.

Many people experienced the "heat" of heatstroke and the "coolness" of a cold within just a few days, a truly extreme experience.

In addition, the school has issued a notice that classes will officially resume tomorrow.

"Hey, I heard our professor has caught a cold, and it's pretty bad. I wonder if he'll be able to come to class tomorrow," my roommate said, leaning closer with a hint of anticipation.

"The teacher has a cold too?" Miao Xiaoxiao was taken aback.

"It's not just the teachers; many of the doctors and teachers at the school hospital also have colds. There aren't enough staff, which is why the queues are so long."

"How do you know so much?"

My roommate rolled her eyes: "Have you forgotten which club I joined?"

"The Gossip Club?" Miao Xiaoxiao remembered. It was said that this club's activities always involved sharing all sorts of "secrets" from inside the school.

They claim there's nothing they don't know, and it seems that their reputation is well-deserved.

A few days later, Haichuan University updated its official website with another announcement.

"Through recent continuous research efforts, our research team has successfully overcome 98 technical challenges, achieved the recyclability of controllable nuclear fusion fuel, and established a 'closed-loop fusion fuel system'."

"This system can significantly improve the utilization efficiency of fuels such as hydrogen isotopes, reduce energy loss and residue problems, and the overall energy utilization rate has now been increased to 60 percent."

After the announcement was released, netizens, having already "trained" themselves several times before, became much calmer and seemed to have become somewhat "used to it".

The forty-five universities, however, remained silent.

On the contrary, the nuclear energy professors who had previously questioned Haichuan University have now stepped forward to provide a comprehensive and professional analysis of the announcement regarding the "recyclable system" and have given it high praise.

Since then, whenever Haichuan University updates its research progress, these professors would immediately follow up and interpret it, analyzing its technical highlights and significance, effectively becoming Haichuan University's "unofficial promoters" and "technical explainers".

Two weeks later, Haichuan University updated its official website with another announcement.

But this time, it wasn't about project progress, but a formal official announcement.

"After 72 days of unremitting efforts, our school's controlled nuclear fusion research team has overcome 1,454 technical difficulties and completed 19 major scientific and technological innovations. We have now successfully solved all known core technical problems in controlled nuclear fusion and successfully completed this research mission."

This statement has caused netizens, who were already somewhat "numb" to finally speak out.

"Holy crap?! Really? The project's finished?!"

"What happened to the agreed-upon three months? There are still eighteen days left! Haichuan University, have you no sportsmanship?!"

"Does that mean they've mastered the complete controlled nuclear fusion technology?"

"Has a problem that has plagued the world for decades really been solved?" Netizens were extremely excited and frantically forwarded the statement.

Everyone knows what controlled nuclear fusion means; it has stalled human civilization for decades.

Today, a university from China, established only a few months ago, has announced that it has conquered it!

A profound sense of unreality intertwined with a feeling of pride, impacting everyone's senses.

At the same time, this statement also struck like a thunderbolt throughout the academic community.

Many professors in the field of nuclear energy put down their work, stared at the statement on the screen, their expressions a mixture of shock, excitement, agitation, and emotion.

"Judging from the progress they previously announced, reaching this point was indeed a natural progression."

"I never imagined that I would live to see the day when controlled nuclear fusion was successfully achieved."

"I thought someone else would do it first, but I didn't expect it would be us!"

"Once fusion energy is utilized on a large scale, human civilization will experience a true leap forward..."

As scholars who have devoted themselves to this field, their lifelong pursuit is to see this challenge overcome.

At this moment, my dream has come true, and my own country has been the first to achieve this breakthrough. I am so excited that I cannot express it.

Science has no borders, but scientists have a motherland.

"I wonder if Haichuan University is still hiring faculty members for its nuclear energy program? Why didn't I think to submit my resume back then?"

Many professors shared the same thought: after this incident, the nuclear energy discipline at Haichuan University would undoubtedly become the focus of attention nationwide and even globally.

If you can join, you may have the opportunity to participate in more groundbreaking scientific research projects in the future.

Unfortunately, it seems that Haichuan University has no plans to expand its faculty at the moment.

Haichuan University, Seventeenth Mountain Experimental Base.

Wei Yingzheng led the entire research team in a solemn ceremony: the extinguishing ceremony of the "artificial sun".

"Initiate the shutdown procedure!" With Wei Ying's command, a series of devices shut down in an orderly manner.

The "sun" that had burned for seventy-two days gradually dimmed, its brightness slowly waning, and finally returned to complete stillness half an hour later.

Qi Limin and all the other researchers watched intently the entire time, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

Qi Limin and all the other researchers watched intently the entire time, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

They spent seventy-two days and nights here, waking up every day to meetings, problem-solving, and experiments, almost completely isolated from the outside world.

Initially, no one believed they could succeed, but under Wei Ying's leadership, they found their direction.

They turned one "impossible" after another into "possible": a mountain and river ring, an 800,000-fold magnetic field, an artificial sun, a clean energy device, a fuel cycle system... In the end, they really stood at the finish line.

"Thank you all for your hard work during this time." Wei Ying's voice rang out in the silent base.

Many people trembled slightly and their eyes welled up with tears upon hearing these words.

"Every one of you is a hero for the success of this scientific research!" Wei Ying's gaze swept over each tired yet radiant face.

"Your names, along with this technology, will be recorded in the annals of human civilization!"

Upon hearing this, everyone could no longer suppress their pent-up emotions.

Some people leaned against the wall and silently shed tears, while others looked at each other and smiled, patting each other's shoulders vigorously. All the hardships and pressures turned into unparalleled joy and a sense of accomplishment at this moment.

Not far away, the hundred students who had participated in the project's support work also silently lowered their heads.

During those seventy-two days, they deeply experienced the difficulties of scientific research.

But their teachers, wearing heavy protective suits, remained steadfast on the front lines in high temperatures and strong magnetic fields, constantly reciting technical parameters even in their dreams.

They were merely peripheral support staff, and had considered quitting several times, while the core teachers never uttered a single complaint or thought of giving up.

"In addition, I have something else to announce," Wei Ying's voice rang out again, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
