Chapter 385: Chapter 207: I Wanted to Keep a Low Profile, but Heaven Wouldn’t Let Me

Perhaps because he was the one who had created it all, he was extremely confident in its safety.

But Su Chen still had to give him a warning to prevent any future incidents.

"Professor Chen, in the future, before you run any tests, you call me first for approval."

Professor Chen understood Su Chen’s point. After repeatedly promising to seek approval before running any more tests, he finally hung up.

As soon as he hung up, Su Chen saw Elder Xiao standing right beside him, watching. It startled him so much that he jumped and took two steps to the side.

"Elder Xiao, what was that for? You can’t just sneak up on people; you could scare someone to death!"

Su Chen then realized that Elder Xiao had probably overheard his entire conversation.

"What was that about a reactor on the phone just now? Are you conducting some kind of research over on Zheng Island?" Although Elder Xiao was no longer young, his hearing was still sharp. He had heard the voice on the other end of the line, and they were speaking Chinese.

From this alone, Elder Xiao quickly deduced that the call was from the Zheng Island complex. Moreover, judging by the change in Su Chen’s expression, the information from the call seemed to be a bombshell.

Su Chen felt a bit helpless. He had just been thinking about keeping a lower profile from now on, but one phone call had completely sold him out.

Looking at Elder Xiao’s seemingly omniscient gaze, Su Chen smacked his lips. Since this thing was going to be handed over eventually anyway, he figured he might as well lay his cards on the table. There was no point in struggling anymore.

"Ahem... It’s nothing major. We just figured out controlled nuclear fusion, that’s all," Su Chen said in an airy tone.

"Oh, it’s just controlled nuc—" Elder Xiao caught himself mid-sentence. He grabbed Su Chen’s shoulders and demanded loudly, "What did you just say? You’ve succeeded in developing controlled nuclear fusion?"

"Yup. Professor Chen and the others also built a super-miniature nuclear reactor in the complex!"

’Since I’ve already said this much,’ he thought, ’I might as well tell him everything.’

Now it was Elder Xiao’s turn to be dumbfounded. Super-miniature nuclear reactor... Such simple words, yet when strung together, they were a bit hard to accept.

One had to understand that the energy produced by nuclear fusion was over a hundred times greater than that of nuclear fission. Even a super-miniature nuclear reactor, if it exploded... the blast would create a massive mushroom cloud.

"You people really have some nerve!" At this point, Elder Xiao didn’t know what else to say.

’Blame Su Chen? He’s just a hands-off manager; what’s the use in blaming him!’

’Blame the top scientist who developed controlled fusion? Forget it. That person is one of the nation’s top talents. They need to be protected, not blamed.’

"Xiao Chen! You little brat, get your ass in here now!" Elder Xiao roared toward the front courtyard. His voice was so thunderous that Su Chen felt his ears ringing.

Xiao Chen quickly ran in, still wearing an apron. It looked like he had been cooking.

CLACK! Xiao Chen took a resolute step forward, the earlier smile completely gone from his now-chiseled face. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
