Capital Airport.
Hundreds of soldiers stood at attention, and the tense atmosphere made people instinctively fall silent.
As Ji Yuan and the accompanying experts disembarked from the plane, the soldiers immediately saluted and shouted loudly: "Welcome back, Research Team, in glory!" "Welcome, Chief Engineer, on receiving the Galactic Badge!"
The deafening congratulatory voices startled the members of the research team, who were feeling anxious. However, their expressions soon relaxed, and the worries in their eyes gradually faded away.
Indeed, they had returned home with honors this time, having won one of the three major awards in the scientific community, the Galactic Badge. In the past, this was something that people in their country wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Even though news of America's imminent production of Super Gas had somewhat overshadowed the significance of the Galactic Badge, it was not their fault.
Forcing America to reveal a trump card in advance was certainly better than being caught off guard later. The leaders above were not so unreasonable as to blame them for everything.
An officer with two stripes and three stars on his shoulder approached Ji Yuan and saluted twice, saying: "Chief Engineer, National Security Department's Minister is waiting for you at Third Secret Base."
"Alright, let's go now," Ji Yuan replied without hesitation, asking Ling Ziqian to help him carry his belongings. At this critical moment, the country certainly could not afford to let him rest first.
A grand convoy of military vehicles traveled from the airport through the entire capital towards Third Secret Base.
Along the way, countless people guessed the identity of this person in the convoy and collectively paid their respects with worried yet hopeful expressions.
In the Internet Age, where information is abundant, even those who are least concerned about current events could understand what a significant change Super Gas would bring to the world order.
Compared to the chip crisis, this energy crisis was far more chilling!
Once America's schemes become a reality, its confidence in dominating the world will increase even further, leaving no country capable of resistance.
As America's perennial thorn in the side, the Eastern nation has found itself in a precarious situation.
Third Secret Base Conference Hall.
Ling Ziqian pushed open the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
The sound of Ji Yuan's military boots scraping against the floor was particularly loud. His expression was gentle yet resolute, his posture as straight as a sword.
Seeing this nation's highly regarded genius scientist remain calm and composed, neither joyful nor sorrowful, brought a sense of relief to the leaders present.
"Kid Ji, you did well... Please come over here."
Several core leaders who often appeared on Central Television's evening news at seven o'clock, along with a large group of top Academicians from key research fields, politely addressed him in the conference hall.
Ji Yuan nodded. Even though these bigwigs tried their best to make him feel at ease, he could still sense a heavy atmosphere in the room.
"According to information from our informants, America may announce its latest energy policy to the international community within a week."
The purpose of the new policy is naturally to leverage energy advantages to further suppress core opponents like the Eastern nation and disrupt their hopes of rising!
No one is willing to share their power without reason because power often means endless benefits and advantages.
"Let's start with the technical aspects." An elderly man sitting in the central position waved his hand and scanned everyone. "This time, America has posed a significant challenge to the world with its Super Energy. Do we have any way to replicate it, and how much time would it take?"
Everyone understood that while the Eastern nation's national strength is robust, there remains a considerable gap compared to America, especially in military technology.
America has revealed a trump card, immediately gaining a crushing advantage over the entire world. The foundation of a century-long global hegemon cannot be ignored! However, as an Eastern nation with five thousand years of civilization, it will not easily concede defeat! No matter how difficult the situation may be, it will persist in fighting to the end, seeking opportunities for a counterattack. No one is willing to bow down to America, nor will they surrender to America.
As the leader's words fell, the Academicians instinctively furrowed their brows, as if faced with an unprecedented thorny problem, and they almost all fell into silence. As the chief representative in the energy sector, Academician Shen hesitated for a moment and honestly stated, "We still do not understand the composition of America's Super Gas Energy. We know nothing about its principles, components, or processes. Moreover... even if we understood its composition, our geographical and industrial conditions may not support replication."
To gain a clear understanding of the specific composition, principles, components, and processes of America's Super Gas Energy, it would require the entire research project team from America to defect. Otherwise, there is almost no hope of obtaining comprehensive information. Even if spies are deeply embedded, it would be of no use!
