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

Cao Liangcai's breathing was a bit rapid.

Room - temperature superconductors, combined with a 1000 - megawatt small - scale fusion reactor...

The combination of the two was definitely not as simple as 1 + 1 = 2!

Cao Liangcai swallowed slightly and turned his gaze to the young man standing aside.

It was hard to imagine!

All of this had been accomplished by this 21 - year - old young man in front of him!

...

Half a month later.

A flight from the Soviet Union slowly landed on the straight runway of Beijing Airport.

As the plane's cabin door opened, the figure of Emperor Jingpu appeared on the plane's gangway.

"Your Excellency, the President, welcome to China!"

As soon as Emperor Jingpu walked down the gangway, a staff member from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Emperor Jingpu, who needed something from others, was very easy - going.

A kind smile appeared on his face as he nodded slightly to the staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "Hello, hello."

Looking at that kind smile, the staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.

He quickly stepped aside and gestured with his hand, "Mr. Jingpu, Councilor Li is waiting for you at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse."

The smile on Emperor Jingpu's face became even broader. He nodded gently and followed the staff member's guidance into a pitch - black Hongqi car.

...

In China, in the reception hall of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Emperor Jingpu sat on the left side of Councilor Li.

"Councilor Li, congratulations on China's mastery of controlled nuclear fusion technology!"

In the face of Emperor Jingpu's compliment, a faint smile appeared on Councilor Li's face.

He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

After that, Councilor Li picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the tea in it.

Emperor Jingpu: "...???"

Thank you?

And then? Is that all?

He glanced at Councilor Li's leisurely expression, and a hint of helplessness appeared deep in his eyes.

"Councilor Li, the main purpose of my visit to China this time is to discuss a cooperation project with your country."

"Oh? What kind of cooperation project?" A glint of amusement flashed in the councilor's eyes, and he said indifferently, "Mr. Jingpu, you can speak your mind.

With the friendship between our two countries, I believe that most projects are not a problem."

The helplessness in Emperor Jingpu's eyes became more intense.

Facing the Councilor Li who was playing dumb, he could only sigh deeply, "Councilor, I'll be straightforward!

How much does China's controlled nuclear fusion technology cost?"

As Emperor Jingpu's voice fell, the reception hall fell silent instantly.

Emperor Jingpu looked at Councilor Li beside him nervously.

Although he didn't show any unusual expression, Councilor Li beside him still keenly noticed a trace of panic in the depths of Emperor Jingpu's eyes.

A few minutes passed.

"Alas..."

Councilor Li let out a soft sigh, "Mr. Jingpu, controlled nuclear fusion is a technology that China has just developed. In principle, we don't plan to..."

A flash of disappointment appeared in Emperor Jingpu's eyes.

To be honest, this result was within his expectations.

But he still said reluctantly, "What if I say that the Soviet Union can pay any price?"

Councilor Li's voice paused slightly, and his expression didn't change at all, "However, considering the friendly relations between your country and ours, we can share this technology with your country."

Emperor Jingpu: "..."

Looking at Councilor Li's calm face, Emperor Jingpu sighed deeply in his heart again.

It seemed that this Councilor Li had been eyeing him as a fat piece of meat for a long time!

"Name your price, Councilor."

Emperor Jingpu leaned back in his chair and said with a look of resignation, "How much money do you want?"

The councilor chuckled, and a conversation he had with Hong Qiming some time ago came to his mind, "Councilor, Professor Lv suggested that we exchange nuclear fusion technology for some necessary resources."

Councilor Li slowly shook his head, "No, I don't need money."

A hint of doubt flashed in Emperor Jingpu's eyes, and then a trace of vigilance appeared in the depths of his eyes, "Councilor, the territorial integrity of the Soviet Union is an unyielding bottom line!"

The corner of Councilor Li's mouth twitched slightly.

"Don't worry, I don't want land.

China needs resources, a large amount of resources."

After some "friendly" consultations and discussions, Emperor Jingpu and the councilor signed a cooperation agreement.

Within the next year, the Soviet Union would transport large quantities of iron ore, copper ore, and nickel ore to China. In addition, the Soviet Union also needed to pay China a substantial amount of rare - earth resources.

In exchange, the Soviet Union obtained the controlled nuclear fusion technology as it wished.

...

A few days later, this piece of news was broadcast on China's news channel.

"Recently, Emperor Jingpu of the Soviet Union visited China. Councilor Li had a friendly conversation with him and reached a consensus on controlled nuclear fusion..."

As soon as the news was broadcast, the whole of China was in an uproar!

The Weibo hot - search list was updated rapidly!

"Did China sell the controlled nuclear fusion technology?"

"For the sake of controlled nuclear fusion, what price did the Soviet Union pay?"

"..."

Under the official Weibo account of China News, countless comments appeared!

"Damn it! What's this? Selling the controlled nuclear fusion technology?"

"What are the top - level leaders of China thinking? This is controlled nuclear fusion! Currently, only we have it in the world!"

"Come on, just for some minerals, selling controlled nuclear fusion? Are they crazy?"

"Guys above, these are not just some minerals. According to the reported data, the resources the Soviet Union paid this time are worth more than 2 billion US dollars!"

"No matter how much it is, it doesn't make sense! China finally took the lead once, and now it's going to give up its advantage?"

Among the numerous arguing comments, one comment stood out and received the most likes.

"Is it possible that China has already mastered more advanced fusion technology, so it's selling the relatively backward technology to others?"

"Damn! What you said makes a lot of sense!"

"As we all know, there are usually three generations of technology in China. The first generation is for sale, the second generation is for use, and the third generation is for testing!"

...

Not only in China, but also abroad was shocked by the cooperation agreement between the Soviet Union and China.

There was an intense debate on Twitter.

"Is China selling the controlled nuclear fusion technology now?"

"The Soviet Union can buy it... Can our country buy it?"

"Hehe, you're daydreaming. Don't you know the relationship between the Soviet Union and China?"

"...I think it's worth a try."

"@Albert, Your Excellency, the President, there's a job for you. Since we can't develop controlled nuclear fusion, why not just buy a ready - made one?"

"Hahaha, I don't think Albert will respond to you!"

Surprisingly, President Albert liked this tweet in the first place, and then replied.

"I'm considering this matter. Believe me, no one knows China better than I do!"
