Chapter 838: Compared with the Dragon Kingdom, which one is stronger?
The next day.
Trump led key officials from the Black House directly to the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
Soon, the group arrived at the laboratory.
Upon learning that Trump was coming, Professor Smith waited at the door early.
As the head of the PPPL laboratory and the overall person in charge of the controlled nuclear fusion project, Smith has been immersed in project research and development and rarely appears in public.
In addition to some international controlled nuclear fusion exchange forums, he will participate appropriately to understand the trends of other countries.
Otherwise, he spends most of his time in the laboratory.
Seeing Trump's car stop at the laboratory gate, Smith quickly walked over and took the initiative to say hello.
"Welcome Mr. President!"
He stretched out his hand.
Before coming, Presidential Assistant Kuroko had already introduced the general situation of the PPPL laboratory to Trump, so he recognized at a glance that this was the chief director of the laboratory.
Trump also extended his hand.
"Professor Smith, I have heard of your name for a long time."
"The team you lead is excellent and the results you have achieved are very gratifying."
He praised Smith generously and held Smith's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Smith was happy, but also slightly hurt.
Trump's strength is so incredible that he feels like the bones in his right palm are about to fall apart.
However, he was very happy to receive Trump's attention.
all the time.
The funding for the PPPL laboratory must go through multiple levels of application before it can receive funding from the Kuroko Palace.
Now that Trump is willing to come to the PPPL laboratory in person, I think he has noticed the laboratory's achievements and begun to attach importance to the PPPL laboratory.
Then, the funding issue can naturally be effectively solved.
Trump didn't let go of Smith's hand until they reached the door of the laboratory.
Looking up and down at the huge laboratory, he spread his hands and exclaimed.
"Wow! The PPPL laboratory is so spectacular. It's really an eye-opener."
"Professor Smith, take us to meet your R&D team and tour the entire laboratory!"
His purpose of coming to the PPPL laboratory today was simple, which was to confirm on the spot whether what Thomas said was true.
Smith shook hands with Thomas, Burns and other officials, and then hurriedly answered.
"Yes, Mr. President, please follow me!"
He walked in front, taking Trump and a group of Black House officials to tour the entire laboratory while explaining.
Not long after.
They came to the core laboratory of controlled nuclear fusion, where many researchers were immersed in experiments.
"Mr. President, the controlled nuclear fusion laboratory is an anti-static operation. If we want to go in, we need to wear anti-static clothing first."
As he spoke, he signaled the staff to bring an anti-static suit.
Trump waved his hands.
"No need, we'll just take a look outside."
"We can't afford to have so many people come in and disrupt the researchers' experiments."
"Right?"
He glanced at the officials accompanying him.
Thomas and others quickly agreed.
"Mr. President is right."
"Mr. President has considered it more carefully."
"That's right, there's no need for us to go in and disturb the researchers."
"..."
Hearing this, Smith signaled the staff to take away the anti-static suit.
"On behalf of the researchers, I would like to thank Mr. President for his concern and understanding!"
Trump remained silent, leaning on the glass and looking at the research done by the researchers inside.
After watching for a while, he left.
"Professor Smith, shall we go to the conference room to talk?"
Trump asked.
Now, after seeing the situation in the laboratory, he was basically sure that what Thomas said was true.
Now it's time to talk to Smith about the field of controlled nuclear fusion.
Smith readily agreed.
"No problem, Mr. President, please follow me!"
He brought everyone to an absolutely confidential meeting room and closed the door, so that no one would be able to hear what was said inside.
Trump asked directly.
"Professor Smith, I would like to ask sincerely, what is the level of the United States' achievements in the field of controlled nuclear fusion compared with the rest of the world?"
"Also, compared with the Dragon Kingdom, which one is stronger or weaker?"
He leaned forward, crossed his hands between his legs, and looked eager to know the answer.
Smith seemed to have not expected Trump to ask this, and his face looked a little surprised.
It took me a while to react.
He joked with a lighthearted look.
"Mr. President, you seem to look down on our laboratory?"
Trump spread his hands, puzzled.
Smith continued.
"Comparing our lab to Dragon Country is simply an insult to us."
"Mr. President, let me tell you this?"
"In the field of controlled nuclear fusion, although Longguo ranks among the best, that is only compared with other countries."
"Compared with the powerful countries with controlled nuclear fusion, Longguo is just a second-rate existence in this field. Our technology is at least three generations behind!"
Comparing controlled nuclear fusion technology with Longguo?
What can Longguo use to compare with them?
The gap between the two sides is like heaven and earth, there is no comparison at all.
Trump's eyes suddenly lit up.
After all, Thomas is not a professional in this field, so when he spoke yesterday, Trump was three-quarters convinced and seven-quarters skeptical.
But it's different now.
This was said personally by the person in charge of the field of controlled nuclear fusion, how could it be false?
Trump felt greatly comforted.
"Professor Smith, I feel relieved with your words."
Smith Road.
"Mr. President, you may not know that Longguo has participated in many international forums on controlled nuclear fusion before. Guess what happened?"
Trump was in a good mood at the time and also wanted to hear about interesting things happening in Dragon Country internationally.
"Has Longguo lost face internationally again?"
Smith laughed.
"It's more than just humiliation. They were almost ridiculed in front of their faces by multiple controlled nuclear fusion powers. They could only endure it because their technology is really not good enough."
"For example, in plasma confinement technology, our confinement of plasma has reached 400ns, while Longguo has only just broken through 100ns."
"Even some small countries can achieve this kind of result."
Trump was all smiles.
"It seems that Longguo is really rubbish."
"but……"
His head turned and he asked immediately.
"After so many years, their technology in this area should have improved, right?"
"I asked my assistant to check the news in recent years. It seems that Longguo's presence in the field of controlled nuclear fusion is getting stronger and stronger?"
Smith waved his hands, unconcerned.
"Don't worry, Mr. President. Even if we stay where we are and let Dragon Country catch up for ten years, they still can't catch up."
"How does the saying go..."
“The less a person has, the more he will brag about it to the outside world.”
"Longguo is making a big fuss about its achievements in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, but it's just because it feels guilty..."
