"Mr. President, our researchers are the best scientists in the world, there is no doubt about this." Maxim quickly explained: "The technology provided by the United States to the United Nations has no problem as a whole. This is a verified result, but..."

"But what?" Vladimir's sharp eyes swept over Maxim.

Maxim replied with a gritty bullet: "The new controlled thermonuclear fusion theory, that is, Adams theory, is structurally valid, but while the Americans provide technology, they do not give the corresponding verification steps and final data, which leads to the addition and improvement of the entire theory before we can start experimental work. The work done by the Academy of Sciences is to comprehensively improve the theory."

Maxim's answer made Vladimir frown slightly. He asked after a moment of indulgence: "Mr. Maxim, how long does it take to fully improve your so-called theory?"

"This..." Maxim hesitated and replied: "It's about half a year to eight months. In fact, our progress is already very fast. The new iter plan of the United Nations is also doing this work. They have reached at least one year..."

Vladimir shook his head with dissatisfaction and said coldly: "I'm afraid we can't wait for so long. Mr. Maxim, I order you to come up with a complete theory within three months, and then develop the controllable thermonuclear fusion technology in half a year!"

"This is impossible!" Maxim couldn't help but answer, his face turned pale as soon as he said that Vladimir's face had sunk.

In order to restore his misunderstanding, Maxim quickly explained: "Mr. President, this is science, science is a rigorous job. You know that perfecting a theory requires a lot of energy, and scientists' work is invested in a lot. Half a year is the shortest time, and to truly master the controllable thermonuclear fusion technology, many repeated experiments and actual verification are required. If everything goes well, I guess it will be at least a year later."

"A year later, this time is too long." Vladimir said very unhappy, but Maxim's explanation made him not slam the table and get angry. After thinking about it, he said: "I can authorize you to mobilize all Russian scientific resources. If necessary, you can freely select various research rooms, including national-level scientific researchers, to join the project team. I only have one condition, which is to get this technology out in half a year."

Vladimir's unquestionable words made Maxim Khan storm. Since entering this office, Vladimir has always politely referred to "you", but when he issued an order to himself, the "you" had changed "you". Maxim knew very well that Vladimir's final order was already a bottom line. Once he refused, the only possibility that he could be to dismiss his post was to investigate and even lose his position as an academician of the Academy of Sciences.

It is the 21st century now. Although Russia no longer engages in violent dictatorship like the former Soviet Union, if Vladimir really wants to let himself be ruined, it is easy to find a reason or excuse. Just like those financial oligarchs who have been deprived of their rights and wealth and have nothing. Maxim does not think he will have better results than those financial oligarchs.

Taking out his handkerchief and wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, Maxim finally gritted his teeth and agreed. Although it was tense for half a year, he had at least half a year to wait, which was better than being unlucky now. What's more, Vladimir also granted him such great power. He might have a first-line chance to succeed in a fight.

Seeing Maxim agreeing, his smile returned to Vladimir's face. His tone suddenly slowed down a lot. He smiled and said to him: "Dear Maxim, our Russia is a great nation. It is also a nation that is good at creating miracles. As long as you complete this task and create this technology, as the President of Russia, I promise you will be the only candidate for the next Academy of Sciences."

It is impossible for Maxim to remain unmoved, but he also knows that the possibility of completing his task is slim, but no matter what, he still has to show sincere gratitude to President Vladimir's promise.

After seeing Maxim off, Vladimir sat back on the seat, and his eyes flashed across the computer display. In fact, Maxim didn't know that Vladimir was not a tyrant who only understood the use of power, nor was he an outsider who didn't know anything about science. As an excellent agent back then, Vladimir's versatility was known to the whole of Russia, but what some people don't know was that Vladimir dreamed of becoming a scientist before becoming an agent, and even almost succeeded.

Vladimir admitted that the reason Maxim explained was correct, and that the time given by Maxim has been compressed to a relatively short level. If it was another study, Vladimir might have agreed to Maxim's request. However, the problem is that this is a controlled thermonuclear fusion technology, a new technology that can change the history of human science. As Vladimir, who has always taken the revival of Russia as his mission, he did not have so much time to wait.

According to reliable intelligence, Americans have fully mastered this technology, and Vladimir is not surprised by this intelligence. After all, the theoretical basis of the United Nations' new Iter plan is provided by the United States. They can provide this theory and even have the creator of the theory Professor Kevin Adams. From this point of view, it is normal for the United States to master controlled thermonuclear fusion technology in advance of Russia.

The reason why Vladimir was finally uneasy, or the reason why he finally decided to force Maxim to speed up the technology was due to the other two intelligences. These two intelligences were not small. One of them was that the United States had a so-called Zeus plan, which has been merged with the Joint Space Structural Space Station plan. According to the intelligence, the plan of the Joint Space Structural Space Station has been adjusted and will be shortened to a few years. What is more important is that there is a shadow of the US side behind the Zeus plan. As a former excellent agent, Vladimir keenly noticed this.

The plan is not simple. If he guessed correctly, the Americans' controlled thermonuclear fusion technology has not only been completed, but has even entered the practical stage. The biggest possibility of the merger of the two plans is that the United States intends to use the original joint space structural space station to build a spacecraft in low-Earth orbit with controlled thermonuclear fusion technology. Once this plan is successful, the Americans will not only have the ability to sail in space and land on other planets for a long time, but also have the ability to strike all-round military from space to the earth. This is definitely not good news for Russia.

As for the second intelligence, Vladimir was even more uneasy. This intelligence came from Russia's neighbor, China, an ancient power in the East. According to the information, the Chinese actually mastered the application of controllable thermonuclear fusion technology, and the Chinese were ambitiously launching a mysterious plan called Alpha. The content of this plan was actually carried out like the Americans, and the spacecraft project was also being carried out.

Although Vladimir felt uncomfortable when lagging behind the United States, he could at least accept it, but lagging behind China is something that Vladimir could not accept no matter what. Is the great Russia not as good as a weak China? If Russia cannot come up with the same thing when the controlled thermonuclear fusion spacecraft of China and the United States succeeded, then what else can we talk about Russia's revival and the dream of a superpower?

Vladimir decided that he must launch a spacecraft with controllable thermonuclear fusion before the Chinese and even the Americans. This is not only the key to reflect Russia's strength, but also a necessary measure to prevent China and the United States from having space navigation capabilities and the ability to strike the earth in all directions. Therefore, Maxim's research is crucial at present.

Thinking of the United States' Zeus plan, Vladimir had to admit that the Americans played a good move, and using the Joint Space Structure Space Station as a cover is indeed a good way. Unfortunately, Russia's Mir space station disintegrated and crashed many years ago, and the current international space station is jointly participated by many countries. Russia does not have complete dominance in it, otherwise it would be a good way to borrow the existing space station as a structure for transformation.

Thinking of this, Vladimir suddenly had an idea in his mind, picked up the phone and dialed the inside line, and asked the presidential office to notify Sergei of the Russian Federation of Space Administration to see him immediately.
