Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
A piece of large experimental equipment shaped like a barrel lying on its side was inside a laboratory.
There were three console displays next to this "barrel".
A group of workers wearing dust-free and anti-static clothing stood in front of the console. They nervously operated this equipment under the command of Professor Wu Tianqun.
Director Li was observing everything from a distance, and he looked emotional as he put his hands behind his back.
After a couple of minutes, the director suddenly spoke to Lu Zhou.
"The Americans screwed us."
Lu Zhou glanced at him and spoke.
"Screwed?"
Director Li nodded.
