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

Two days later.

In the first ring of the capital city.

Looking at the somewhat ancient - style building in front of him, a hint of sentimentality appeared in Lü Yongchang's eyes.

"Let's go. Councillor Li is waiting for you!"

Seeing Lü Yongchang stop, Hong Qiming quickly urged, "By the way, have you prepared what you were asked to?"

Lü Yongchang nodded with a smile and shook the briefcase in his hand.

"It's just the budget sheet. I've had it ready for a long time."

Hearing this, Hong Qiming let out a slight sigh of relief. "That's good."

"I won't go in with you this time. You'll have to handle everything on your own."

"Remember, be steady. Don't say anything unrealistic like last time!"

Lü Yongchang nodded with a helpless expression.

...

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Standing in front of the heavy wooden door, Lü Yongchang took a deep breath, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A short and forceful voice came from inside the room.

"Creak..."

As soon as he pushed the door open, Lü Yongchang saw Councillor Li sitting behind the desk, looking at him with a smile.

"Yongchang, you really gave me a pleasant surprise!"

Councillor Li stood up with a smile and walked up to Lü Yongchang.

"Sit down!"

Councillor Li took a seat on the sofa beside first.

Lü Yongchang pondered for a moment, then without hesitation, he sat down opposite Councillor Li in a composed manner.

"What are you going to do next?"

Without any pleasantries, Councillor Li asked straightforwardly.

Hearing Councillor Li's question, Lü Yongchang didn't hesitate at all and said directly, "I suggest launching the controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project immediately!"

Councillor Li's brows furrowed slightly.

"Demonstration reactor? So soon?"

Lü Yongchang nodded gently. "At present, we already have relatively mature controlled nuclear fusion technology. I think this is an opportunity."

"An opportunity?" Councillor Li's eyebrows rose slightly, and he looked at Lü Yongchang in front of him with great interest.

"That's right, an opportunity to overtake the United States!"

"An opportunity for Xia Country to soar again!"

Lü Yongchang's eyes sparkled as he spoke each word clearly!

Councillor Li's pupils suddenly constricted.

He stared at Lü Yongchang meaningfully and said softly, "You said something similar when we met last time."

"Didn't Hong Qiming remind you to be steady? Don't say things that are unrealistic."

Lü Yongchang's expression was solemn as he slowly shook his head.

"Minister Hong did remind me."

"But... in my opinion, if we don't even dare to have such thoughts, Xia Country will never be able to overtake the United States!"

"Perhaps in your view, controlled nuclear fusion is just a better power - generation device that can bring Xia Country an inexhaustible supply of low - cost energy. Am I right?"

Councillor Li fell into silence.

After a long time, he asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?"

"Certainly not!"

Lü Yongchang was a bit excited.

"Controlled nuclear fusion means the key to opening a new era!"

"This new era refers to the interstellar era!"

"With controlled nuclear fusion as an energy source, we can look further!"

"The Moon, Mars, and even the entire solar system!"

"Xia Country, with nuclear fusion as an energy source, can take the lead in advancing into space!"

Seeing Councillor Li's calm expression, Lü Yongchang made up his mind and dropped a bombshell!

"I've already got some ideas about the miniaturization project of the fusion reactor."

"If it's successful, Councillor Li, just imagine the scenario where our aircraft carriers, submarines, or fighter jets have nuclear fusion as an energy source!"

This time, even Councillor Li couldn't remain calm!

He stood up abruptly from the sofa, staring at Lü Yongchang with burning eyes!

"Are you telling the truth?!"

Facing Councillor Li's intense gaze, Lü Yongchang's heart skipped a few beats.

Originally, these words were not in his plan.

After all, compared to his previous life, Xia Country in this life had already accelerated its progress by several years.

Logically speaking, at the current development rate, Xia Country would surely be able to escape the solar system in twenty years!

But... for some reason, there was always a sense of worry in his heart.

Perhaps because he had truly experienced the powerlessness at the moment of the helium flash, Lü Yongchang was like a soldier suffering from a fear of insufficient firepower.

Except that what he suffered from was a fear of insufficient technology.

Especially after seeing those cutting - edge technologies in the technology - tree system in his mind, he deeply realized one thing.

Compared to the universe, humanity was simply too small!

"Of course!" Lü Yongchang nodded gently, saying firmly!

"Whoosh..."

Councillor Li let out a long breath. "How confident are you?"

As he said this, an unprecedented sparkle appeared in Councillor Li's eyes!

He had to admit that he was moved by Lü Yongchang's words!

The moment he heard this question, a smile appeared on Lü Yongchang's face.

He knew that he had gambled right again!

"90%!"

Lü Yongchang looked at Councillor Li with a firm gaze. "I can issue a military - like order. The mini - fusion reactor plan will surely make a breakthrough within half a year!"

"Good!" A hint of excitement flashed in Councillor Li's eyes.

"In that case... I'll believe you this time!"

"At present, Xia Country can still afford to take this bet!"

Lü Yongchang quickly seized the moment, opened the briefcase placed aside, took out a document, and handed it to Councillor Li.

"Councillor Li, this is the budget sheet discussed by the laboratory for the fusion demonstration reactor!"

Councillor Li's breath caught.

The next moment, he gave Lü Yongchang a meaningful look. "You little rascal... Have you been ready to persuade me for a long time?"

"What would you do if I didn't agree?"

Lü Yongchang's face fell, and he said with a bitter smile, "Councillor Li, you wouldn't do such a thing, would you?"

"Don't you want to see Xia Country getting better and better?"

Councillor Li was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "You're right! I didn't expect that at my age, I'm not as insightful as you, a young lad!"

As he spoke, Councillor Li reached out to take the document from Lü Yongchang and examined it carefully.

When he saw the string of numbers at the end of the budget sheet, Councillor Li's expression changed immediately.

"Ahem... Councillor Li, after all, this is a nuclear fusion power plant, so it's normal for the cost to be a bit high."

Seeing Councillor Li's sudden change of expression, Lü Yongchang quickly explained, "But I assure you that once the nuclear fusion power plant is built, the benefits it brings will be extremely astonishing!"

Councillor Li looked at Lü Yongchang helplessly. "Don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who goes back on my word."

"50 billion. Xia Country can afford it!"

Hearing this, Lü Yongchang let out a huge sigh of relief.

That's good.

Councillor Li took the budget sheet, sat back at his desk, then picked up the pen on the table and wrote four flamboyant characters on it.

"Approved for Project Initiation!"
