"Controllable nuclear fusion..."

Ji Xinshui thought for several seconds, then continued, "You're saying we can use room-temperature superconductors to create a strong magnetic field, and then use that field to confine high-temperature plasma, solving the problem of the hundreds of millions of degrees required for controllable nuclear fusion?"

Although Ji Xinshui hadn't been involved in front-line research for many years, he was, after all, a scholar by training. He still had some understanding of the theory and technical difficulties of controllable nuclear fusion.

Currently, nuclear fusion reactions using tritium as a raw material are theoretically close to maturity.

The difficulty lies in how to control the hundreds of millions of degrees of heat generated during the nuclear fusion reaction.

Since no known material on Earth can withstand such high temperatures, the most likely way to achieve controllable nuclear fusion is to use a strong magnetic field to confine the ultra-high temperature plasma, allowing the controllable reaction to proceed without direct contact with the material.

But then another problem arises.

To achieve a strong magnetic field, a superconductor must be at a low temperature, below minus one hundred degrees Celsius.

Once it exceeds this temperature, the superconductivity fails.

Therefore...

How to keep a system with ultra-high temperature plasma of hundreds of millions of degrees running stably alongside a superconductor that needs to be maintained at minus 100 degrees Celsius is currently the biggest challenge.

What's more, the neutrons from nuclear fusion cannot be 100% isolated, and high-energy neutrons can also damage the superconducting coils.

But if room-temperature superconductors were cracked, everything would become simple.

It could greatly reduce the complexity of the superconducting system, giving controllable nuclear fusion a theoretical possibility of long-term operation.

Although other problems would certainly be encountered during the research process, it is undeniable that if Dr. Ponsmayer's research could truly overcome room-temperature superconductors, humanity would take a huge leap forward on the road to achieving controllable nuclear fusion!

"That's right."

Ji Lin naturally knew that Ji Xinshui was a scholar by training and that he was much more familiar with these theoretical foundations than he was, so he didn't explain too much.

"Although this is only a small breakthrough, once this material is made public, the sensation it causes in the global scientific community should be no less than Xu Yun's hibernation capsule filling fluid."

Ji Xinshui turned to look at Ji Lin.

"So, you plan to use this to draw out Lin Xian? Is this the 'forged history plan' you mentioned to me?"

"Yes."

Ji Lin explained, "From the looks of it, the correct historical trajectory, the original history, is that Dr. Ponsmayer secretly developed room-temperature superconductors. But we've already killed him. Apart from the two of us, only the members of the Genius Club know about this."

"Your security work has always been very good. You wouldn't tell Gluttony and Envy so much unless it was absolutely necessary, so even Gluttony, who was driving the car that killed him, doesn't know this piece of true history."

"So, on this basis, we can forge a false history."

Ji Lin held up the roll of documents in his hand. "We'll choose someone, have them make this information public, and fake them as the scientist who developed room-temperature superconductors, and then kill them at 00:42 as well."

"You have to know that controllable nuclear fusion is such a big deal and is different from Tang Xin's little inventions. This is something truly capable of changing the course of human civilization, a deafening existence no matter how many years of historical scale it is placed on."

"The death of such a great father of controllable nuclear fusion will surely go down in history. If Lin Xian really has the ability to disrupt history as we suspect, then he definitely has a way of knowing the fact of this person's death."

"In the current situation, Lin Xian will definitely want to take advantage of this person's death to catch us. In the future, Lin Xian will be very concerned about the arrival of every scientist and every moment at 00:42. He will lie in ambush in advance, waiting for us to act at 00:42 to catch us all in one fell swoop."

Ji Xinshui nodded. "I understand what you mean. If we forge a fake scientist, but Lin Xian still saves this fake scientist, then it means that he really has some magical power to predict the future or know the future."

"For the sake of absolute evidence, we'll add two extra insurance policies on the day we kill this fake scientist." Ji Lin said softly, "Pride, you use your connections to invite two real scientists to Donghai City that night and have them appear in three different places, along with our fake scientist. Then... let's see which one Lin Xian plans to save."

"If, in the end, he saves the fake scientist in order to find us... I think everything will be self-evident."

Hearing this, Ji Xinshui chuckled. "Ji Lin... that's the purpose of your repeated provocations of Lin Xian, right? Only by letting Tang Xin die in front of him and letting him directly feel the provocation will he try to fight us at risk. Otherwise... if he really acts like a turtle with its head in its shell for the rest of his life, we really won't have a way."

Ji Lin nodded. "The question now is, who should pretend to be this fake scientist?"

"Let Greed do it." Ji Xinshui said casually, "He's just an academic swindler. I changed his life and made him rich and famous, but he's actually just a useless person with nothing in his belly. He's enjoyed it for so many years... it's time for him to pay me back."

"Gluttony shouldn't have met Greed, right?" Ji Lin asked.

"No." Ji Xinshui smiled. "He's even more worthless, just a reckless man who drives and hits people... Let's use them together this time. If we can catch Lin Xian's evidence of disrupting history by sacrificing just the two of them... then it's a very worthwhile deal."

"Then it's settled. I'll contact them to come to Donghai." Ji Lin waved his hand and walked towards the stairwell in the middle of the rooftop.

"Donghai... it's going to be uneasy again." Ji Xinshui sighed and turned away from the rooftop railing. "After so many years, I still like this city very much. Besides Brooklyn, my favorite place is Donghai... I really don't want to see it stained with so much blood."

"There won't be much blood."

Ji Lin opened the iron door of the stairwell and walked in. "After this time's fake show becomes real at 00:42..."

"Next time, it'll be Lin Xian's turn."

He disappeared into the shadows of the stairwell, and the iron door gradually accelerated its closing in the night breeze -

Bang!

......

In Chu Shanhe's manor, the inner room door was kicked open violently.

"Su! Xiu! Ying!"

Su Su shouted the name of the woman on the sofa, exasperated. "Why did you freeze my card!"

Su Xiuying remained unmoved, slowly taking a sip of tea and placing the teacup on the coffee table.

Only then did she calmly look at the red-faced Su Su. "Your brother-in-law asked you to go on a blind date, but you hung up the phone before he could finish speaking. What's wrong with freezing your card?"

"No, why did you freeze my card! Where did you get the authority!"

Su Su pointed at her older sister, who was more than twenty years older than her, and quickly walked around to the front of the sofa, hands on her hips. "You and Chu Shanhe are amazing, aren't you? Do you still believe in the law! Can you just freeze someone's bank card!"

"Hmph."

Su Xiuying snorted softly. "How rude to call your brother-in-law's name like that? It's a good thing Shanhe has a good temper. If it were me, I would have taken all your shares away! Who else but him would treat the few thousand dollars in your little piggy bank as shares?"

"You're too unreasonable. I'm not talking to you!"

Su Su stomped around the house, finally running back down. "Where's my brother-in-law!"

"Not home." Su Xiuying said faintly. "If you want to unfreeze your bank card, it's not a problem. Just listen to us obediently and go on the blind date."

"Su Su, you're my sister. You're only four years older than An Qing. I've been both a sister and a mother since you were little. Would I harm you? Look how old you are and you still don't have a proper job. How long are you going to mess around?"

"I have money, why do I need to go to work!" Su Su sat down on the sofa in frustration, looking helplessly at Su Xiuying. "I'm begging you, Sister! Can you two just leave me alone? I'm only 23 years old, why are you rushing me to go on blind dates and get married?"

"If you don't get married and have children, who will take care of you in the future?"

"An Qing!" Su Su replied matter-of-factly. "Instead of wasting your time finding me a partner, why don't you find An Qing a good family! When I'm old, I'll live at An Qing's house and have her children recognize me as their godmother. Wouldn't that be fine for taking care of me when I'm old? Do you think I don't have a plan for my life? I've already arranged everything. I'm just waiting for An Qing to have children, preferably several, so I can recognize more godchildren."

Bang!

Su Xiuying grabbed a sofa cushion and threw it hard at Su Su. "You've got a good plan! You want to sponge off the old and then sponge off the young, huh!"

"I'm warning you, Su Su—"

Su Xiuying glared at her troublesome younger sister. "You have to go on this blind date, whether you want to or not! I'm very interested in this one. The boy is tall, handsome, and has a good temperament! He has good character too! You're lucky if he takes a fancy to you!"

"I'm not saying I'm forcing you to get married or anything, but at your age, you should try to understand and meet good boys, and learn how to be a good woman, a good wife, and find something serious to do."

"If you don't want your bank card to be frozen forever, go to this restaurant tonight for the blind date! Your brother-in-law has already talked to him, so don't try to play any tricks on me!"

With that, Su Xiuying handed Su Su a business card for a Western restaurant. "7 PM, second floor of the restaurant, don't be late!"

Su Su turned her head away in anger.

But...

Bloodline suppression is just that powerful.

She knew that any coquetry or rudeness was useless in front of her sister. It seemed that... if she wanted to unfreeze her bank card, she had to go on this blind date.

She turned her head and snatched the business card. "I can go, but if I don't like him, you can't go back on your word!"

"Don't be so self-righteous." Su Xiuying glanced at Su Su with a bad temper. "He probably won't take a fancy to you."

"Just kidding!"

Su Su flicked her bright yellow hair to one side of her shoulder and chuckled. "Do you know how many boys are chasing me?"

"Are they proper boys?" Su Xiuying asked with a look of disgust.

"But I wouldn't even look at them! They're not worthy of me at all!"

"Are they proper boys?" Su Xiuying asked a soul-searching question. "Don't you know what they want from you?"

"Of course I know!"

Su Su spread her hands. "I have nothing but beauty and money. What else could they want from me? Aren't all men the same? Oh right, they might also want my brother-in-law's connections, trying to climb up the social ladder! Dare you say the one you're introducing to me doesn't have ulterior motives?"

"This one really doesn't."

Su Xiuying smiled proudly. "This child has a noble character, doesn't covet fame and wealth, and is excellent in all aspects. You'll know when you meet him. By the way, don't mention your relationship with us. Your brother-in-law is afraid that he'll feel pressured, so he didn't reveal your identity. Just say you're the daughter of a friend. Don't let it slip."

Su Su snorted and looked at the name on the business card.

She knew this restaurant.

The caviar tasted very good. She had eaten there with friends several times.

"Okay, anyway, we've agreed that you'll unfreeze my bank card as soon as I get back from the blind date! Tell me, what's the name of the person you're introducing to me and what does he do?"

"He's the vice president of X Company, young and promising!"

Su Xiuying said with a smile, "His name is... Lin Xian!"
