The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1576 - 1575: New Energy

Zhou Hao was eagerly waiting for Ling Feng to ask this question, and quickly said, "I’m in the new energy sector. My company has already raised three billion, and we’re expected to go public by the end of the year!"

As he spoke, a smug look appeared on his face, and he glanced at Chen Yuhe twice.

It was obvious he wanted to show off his worth and catch her attention.

But unfortunately, Chen Yuhe remained expressionless and didn’t even glance at him.

Zhou Hao didn’t mind and continued to ask, "Mr. Ling, are you familiar with new energy?"

"I’m alright."

Ling Feng smiled and then asked, "May I know what kind of new energy project Mr. Zhou is developing?"

"Solar power!"

Zhou Hao smiled, "The solar cells we developed have a very high conversion rate, which can be widely promoted in the future, completely replacing current thermal power generation and reducing environmental pollution!"

"I see, that’s impressive!"

Ling Feng smiled, thinking to himself, can solar power compare to nuclear fusion power generation?

But he didn’t say much more, just wanted to chat with Zhou Hao to distract him so he wouldn’t keep staring at Chen Yuhe!

However, Ling Feng clearly underestimated this person’s persistence. Zhou Hao suddenly became enthusiastic and started rambling nonstop.

In his words, he was constantly praising his solar project, as if it could save all of humanity.

In the end, Ling Feng didn’t react much, but Chen Yuhe couldn’t take it anymore and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you familiar with helium-3?"

"Ah?"

Zhou Hao was stunned, then nodded, "I know, that’s the future direction of energy development, but unfortunately, there’s not much on Earth. To fully develop and utilize it, we’d have to wait until humans can freely travel through space, which might take decades, even centuries!"

"Not necessarily!"

Chen Yuhe smiled, causing Zhou Hao to be momentarily dazed.

Without paying heed to his look, she quickly said, "I’ve heard the country is already researching fusion devices, there’s ample supply of helium-3, and the aerospace industry is advancing rapidly!"

"That won’t help. I estimate it’ll be at least thirty years before humans have enough resources for nuclear fusion power generation!" Zhou Hao said confidently.

Chen Yuhe was speechless, turned to Ling Feng, and asked, "What do you think?"

"About two or three years? I’m not too sure, Gu Li should be asked about this," Ling Feng replied.

"Two or three years?"

Zhou Hao’s eyes widened, then he laughed, "Mr. Ling, don’t say things like that in front of professionals, you’ll be ridiculed!"

"Why?" Chen Yuhe asked.

Seeing her actively talking to him, Zhou Hao was so delighted he could fly, so he quickly explained, "You’re not from the industry and don’t understand these things. I can assure you, without thirty years, nuclear fusion can’t be applied to the energy industry!"

"Is that so? What if it isn’t?" Chen Yuhe asked without a hint of expression.

Zhou Hao: "I’d bet all my shares in the company!"

"Then you’ve definitely lost!"

Chen Yuhe smiled, knowing this was the chance to let this guy eat his words, then continued, "First, fusion devices are being developed, and secondly, there have been groundbreaking advancements in the aerospace field. Do you know why I’m aware of this? Because these are projects Ling Corporation is involved in!"

"Ling Corporation?"

Zhou Hao was stunned, then bewildered, "What kind of company is that?"

"You don’t know that?" Chen Yuhe asked with a half-smile.

"I just returned from abroad not long ago, so I’m not aware," Zhou Hao explained.

"Then you’re really out of date. Ling Corporation was only founded recently, not even a year ago!"

Chen Yuhe smiled, then looked at Ling Feng, "He’s the actual controller of Ling Corporation!"

"Really?"

Zhou Hao’s eyes widened as he looked at Ling Feng, somewhat disbelieving.

Ling Feng smiled, "It’s true, but it’s nothing worth bragging about, it’s the result of everyone’s effort!"

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Zhou Hao not only didn’t realize Ling Feng was being modest but also thought he seemed a bit guilty, so he immediately said, "Your company isn’t doing these high-tech things just to get government financial support, are you?"

The implication being, you seem to be cheating for government subsidies!

Ling Feng shook his head, "Mr. Zhou misunderstood. The direction our group is researching was due to some accidents; we just stumbled onto this path. We’re not deliberately researching anything in particular!"

He said it lightly, but to Zhou Hao, it was clearly boasting!

Quickly, he said, "How dare you say such big words? Stop fooling people!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly, "Believe it or not!"

Zhou Hao’s nitpicking nature was immediately exposed, and he sneered, "If you can’t provide evidence, all you can do is talk!"

Ling Feng sighed inwardly, feeling quite speechless.

At this moment, someone else entered from outside.

The newcomers were a man and a woman, the man in his fifties with some gray hair, the woman youthful and pretty with a graceful figure.

After entering the door, the two intended to greet Jin Jingyu, but upon seeing Ling Feng sitting on the sofa nearby, they both paused!

"Brother Ling, what are you doing here?"

Mu Yuhan’s face was full of surprise as she quickly approached.

Wu Xiaomin, who came with her, was also very surprised and followed to ask, "Mr. Ling, why didn’t you give us a heads up when you came to Capital City?"

Ling Feng stood up and responded with a helpless smile, "I just didn’t want to bother you, so I came quietly!"

"How can you say bothering?"

Wu Xiaomin feigned anger, then said, "You’re a major contributor to our Nuclear Physics Research Institute!"

"Director Wu, you’re too kind. Speaking of which, we just mentioned nuclear fusion, how is the research going recently?" Ling Feng asked.

"Well, Yuhan should tell you about this!" Wu Xiaomin laughed.

Mu Yuhan’s eyes sparkled, "Brother Ling, the reactor prototype has already been designed. It’s currently being assembled and will be ready for experiments in just a few days!"

"That fast?"

Ling Feng was taken aback, then asked, "When will it be ready for application?"

"Very soon, in a year at most, maybe even six months, it can be rolled out!" Mu Yuhan said.

"Oh, earlier than I expected?" Ling Feng laughed.

At this point, Wu Xiaomin chimed in, "Indeed, it’s quite fast, thanks to experts from around the world who collaborated on the research!"

As he said this, he patted Ling Feng on the shoulder, "When it’s ready for wide application, we’ll need to mine on the Moon, so your rocket launches need to keep up with the schedule!"

"Director Wu, rest assured, raw material supply isn’t an issue for now. As for the spacecraft, I’ve left that to my team, so it should be no problem!" Ling Feng laughed.

Zhou Hao, listening on the side, was dumbfounded. He didn’t know Wu Xiaomin or Mu Yuhan or their identities, so he asked puzzledly, "You guys, aren’t you just stooges Ling Feng hired?"
