I accidentally got a two-way foil in my second level civilization

Chapter 25: Exposing the Dark Secrets



In the capital city.

Inside an extremely unremarkable small bungalow.

Deng Haochu sat on the slightly shabby sofa with a gloomy expression.

This was the studio of a small - scale program.

The program was so small that it could only be seen on some extremely unpopular channels.

But it was currently his only means of counter - attack.

"Pop!"

The lights in the studio came on.

Deng Haochu looked around, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

To be fair, this studio was really rather shabby.

Apart from a green screen behind, there were only two slightly worn - out sofas.

Right in front was a video camera.

Around it were a group of extras sitting on small stools acting as the audience.

Looking at the expressionless faces of those extras, Deng Haochu let out a deep sigh.

The only thing that gave him a bit of comfort was that the female host was quite pleasing to the eye.

"Mr. Deng, the program is about to start. Our program is live - broadcasted, so... you need to be careful with what you say."

The female host gave a sweet smile and softly said to Deng Haochu.

Deng Haochu nodded repeatedly, but a hint of contempt appeared deep in his eyes.

With a studio like this, it's live - broadcasted?

You've got to be kidding!

Which TV station would let such a program be broadcast live!

The host naturally noticed the contempt in Deng Haochu's eyes.

A flash of annoyance appeared deep in her eyes.

What's so great about being a Zhihu big - V?

You should be grateful to be on this program!

Yet you're still looking down on the program team?

Humph...

The host sneered inwardly. She really wanted to see what earth - shattering words this so - called big - V could come up with later!

While thinking this way, the smile on her face became even sweeter.

The next moment, she turned to look at the video camera in front of her. When the red light on the camera lit up, she said in a brisk and articulate voice, "Hello, dear viewers."

"I'm the host, Yiyi. The theme of this program is the currently hot controlled nuclear fusion project."

"The program team has specially invited an expert in the field of nuclear fusion, Mr. Deng Haochu."

"Mr. Deng, could you tell us something about the knowledge in the field of controlled nuclear fusion?"

As she spoke, the host Yiyi turned to look at Deng Haochu.

Maybe because it was his first time on a TV program, Deng Haochu's face was a bit stiff. He greeted the camera in an extremely unnatural way.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Deng Haochu."

"A few days ago, Xia Country announced its withdrawal from the ITER plan, and this piece of news really surprised me."

"So... what is the ITER plan?" The host Yiyi asked at the right moment.

Deng Haochu quickly explained the content of the ITER plan, and then continued, "I estimate that withdrawing from the ITER plan will have a huge impact on Xia Country's controlled nuclear fusion project. Without a doubt, we will fall behind the Western powers again."

The host Yiyi looked at Deng Haochu in surprise. "But... not long ago, Sandaokou University announced the successful first ignition of the controlled nuclear fusion project. How do you explain this, sir?"

A glint of light flashed in Deng Haochu's eyes.

Here it comes.

This was the question he wanted to hear!

The corners of Deng Haochu's mouth twitched, and a cold smile appeared on his stiff face.

"Well, as a professional who has been researching controlled nuclear fusion, I can clearly tell you this."

"The news of the successful nuclear fusion ignition at Sandaokou University contains a lot of exaggeration!"

"First of all, the controlled nuclear fusion device used by Sandaokou University is a stellarator device that was phased out by Country D. This kind of device has now been abandoned by all the major Western powers."

"Secondly, the duration of controlled nuclear fusion at Sandaokou University was only a short two minutes!"

The host Yiyi nodded thoughtfully. "You mean..."

"Hmph... What's the use of two - minute controlled nuclear fusion? Even Ultraman needs three minutes to fight the little monster, right?" A hint of mockery flashed in Deng Haochu's eyes.

As soon as the words were spoken, a burst of laughter came from the audience seats around.

Seeing that the extras around were no longer the lifeless look they had before, Deng Haochu's spirits couldn't help but lift!

"I can tell you another statistic. The duration of controlled nuclear fusion at ITER has reached 26 minutes!"

"The gap between the two is like the difference between heaven and earth!"

The host Yiyi interrupted Deng Haochu's words again. "So, according to what you said, Mr. Deng, the duration of controlled nuclear fusion at Sandaokou University will definitely not exceed the record currently held by ITER, right?"

Deng Haochu, who had been interrupted several times, gave the host an annoyed look.

No wonder she's still just a host of a small - scale program!

Considering that the program was still being recorded, Deng Haochu could only suppress his annoyance.

"That's right!"

"If I remember correctly, Sandaokou University will conduct the second controlled nuclear fusion experiment today."

"Without a doubt, in this experiment, they will experience the drawbacks of the stellarator device."

Deng Haochu looked at the host meaningfully.

"Oh? You mean, Mr. Deng, that there is a fatal flaw in the design of the stellarator?"

Hearing the host's question, Deng Haochu nodded with a meaningful smile.

"Of course!"

"Controlled nuclear fusion requires an extremely high temperature!"

"The temperature of the plasma in the fusion reactor must be at least hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius!"

"And the biggest problem with the stellarator lies in its complex structure. Once there is any mistake, the plasma at hundreds of millions of degrees will directly touch the inner cavity of the stellarator... Tsk tsk tsk, just imagine that scene, it's quite 'beautiful'!"

As he spoke, Deng Haochu's expression gradually became more unrestrained.

"I can also tell you a secret."

"Sandaokou University obtained one billion yuan in research funds from the parliament of Xia Country with this shabby stellarator device!"

"In my opinion, this is simply nonsense!"

"Is this really about doing scientific research? It's more like money - grabbing!"

"Wow!"

In an instant, a burst of discussion came from the audience seats below!

Looking at the "eager" eyes of the audience around him, Deng Haochu felt a great sense of satisfaction!

While the host beside him had a rather strange expression on her face.

"Ahem... Mr. Deng, our program is live - broadcasted. Please pay attention to your words."

Seemingly getting carried away, Deng Haochu completely ignored the host's reminder and continued to shout, "So what if it's live - broadcasted?

"A while ago, I exposed the dark secrets of Sandaokou University on Zhihu, but the post was blocked. From this, we can see how many underhanded things Sandaokou University has done in secret!"

"Today, I'm going to expose Sandaokou University in front of the vast number of viewers..."

The host Yiyi looked at Deng Haochu, who seemed to be going crazy in front of her, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

After all, she was just a small - time host. Facing this sudden situation, she had no idea how to handle it.

Just as the stage was in chaos, a staff member suddenly ran onto the stage and whispered a few words in the host Yiyi's ear.

"What?!"

The host Yiyi looked at the staff member in front of her in shock. "Is what you said true?!"

Seeing the staff member nod, Yiyi subconsciously glanced at Deng Haochu beside her, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
