Chapter 1099 Exposed And International Pressure Part 1

All the evidence pointed to one conclusion— it seemed that the Peak Science and Technology Research Institute was not only researching Antimatter but they had also entered the production phase.

This news instantly caused a global sensation, shocking not only the people of various countries but also their governments. The whole world was questioning China, demanding an explanation from the Chinese government. 

Several countries, including the United States, requested to visit China and enter the Zhongyun City Peak Science and Technology Research Institute to investigate and verify the authenticity of the news.

Nuclear weapons were not something every country could possess. Currently, only the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, the United States, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom— were legally recognized to have nuclear weapons. 

Due to the extreme danger of nuclear weapons, they could easily cause catastrophic disasters.

However, compared to Antimatter, nuclear weapons were nothing in comparison. Just one gram of Antimatter was equivalent to the energy of 200,000 tons of TNT, which was more than 20 times stronger than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in terms of yield. Just a few grams of Antimatter could destroy the Earth.

In the past, Antimatter had always been in the research phase, and a few Antimatter particles posed no real threat to the safety of Earth. But if it was indeed possible to produce Antimatter then the situation would be completely different. 

The news that China could produce Antimatter was shocking, and the United States, which had always considered itself the world police, couldn't sit still, and neither could other countries.

The Chinese people were also shocked, finding it hard to believe.

"Is this for real, Antimatter is not like some kind of black technology. At most, they could obtain a few particles, and it's still in the preliminary research stage. How could it have entered the production phase?"

"I heard that Su Jing invested almost all of his profits into the Zhongyun City Peak Science and Technology Research Institute. That's Tens of Billions of Yuan. It's terrifying to even think about it. It's unlikely that they're just doing research. If they are indeed producing Antimatter then it would explain a lot."

"If the Zhongyun City Peak Science and Technology Research Institute is producing Antimatter, then aren't we in danger just by being nearby that place?"

"It's not just the people nearby who are in danger. I heard that just a few grams of Antimatter can destroy the Earth. The entire planet is at risk."

"But at the same time, it also means that we are powerful. With such a formidable weapon in our hand, let's see if the United States dares to do anything to us in the future."

"The international situation is not that simple. Even nuclear weapons can put people in a terrible situation. These catastrophic weapons are meant for deterrence and should only be used as a last resort. Otherwise, it could lead to one outcome— the destruction of the Earth. If it's indeed possible to produce Antimatter then its deterrent power would be unquestionable. However, it also puts us at the forefront of facing global attacks. While nuclear weapons are legally possessed by five countries for the sake of balance, only China would possess antimatter. Why would other major powers be willing to accept that?"

"The current situation is delicate and tense."

"In the end, it has been exposed." Su Jing sighed helplessly after reading the news. He had always been worried and trying to avoid this situation, but it had eventually happened.

It was almost certain that the three individuals who forced the information out of Ou Qingyun had leaked the news or maybe they have reported back to their superiors. They were likely spies sent by the United States.

In fact, the Zhongyun City Peak Science and Technology Research Institute had drawn too much attention due to its massive investments in the Billions, and that investment was almost close to reaching a Trillion Yuan. 

Even a fool could tell that there was something fishy going on. Fortunately, Su Jing had influential figures supporting him, strict security measures in place, and the use of hypnosis to maintain secrecy. 

It allowed them to remain on the edge, where it seemed like something was amiss but nobody knew the specifics. They had managed to keep it hidden for so long.

Perhaps because of this, when the United States received the news, they didn't accuse Su Jing directly but rather accused China. 

In the eyes of the United States, the Chinese government must have been involved, or else Su Jing wouldn't be able to produce Antimatter so openly.

…

Su Jing was contemplating on the situation and was thinking about countermeasures when suddenly his phone rang. He saw that it was Wang Zhuo calling and immediately answered, "Brother Zhuo."

"A'Jing, do you know that your Peak Science and Technology Research Institute has caused a big commotion now?" Wang Zhuo said in a nervous tone, with Zheng Nan standing next to him, feeling equally anxious.

"I just found out about it," Su Jing replied.

"This time, even with your backer, you won't be able to cover it up, right?" Wang Zhuo said.

"It would probably be very difficult," Su Jing sighed as he spoke. Originally, with the support of a few influential figures, he could practically cover up everything within China. 

It was only possible through their backing and his use of spiritual force to hypnotize people, repeatedly deceiving them. 

However, now the situation had escalated too much and it had reached people all over the world. It was no longer just a domestic matter but an international one. How could they easily cover it up?

Su Jing was confident that, even in the current situation, he would be protected by his superiors who actually worked for him. 

However, China couldn't withstand the pressure from countries around the world, including the United States, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom. 

He also had to stand with his country and deal with this matter; otherwise, he would be using the country as a scapegoat, pushing it into the abyss. Without the existence of the nation, what would be left of his family?

"Then you should compromise quickly and let the countries enter the Peak Science and Technology Research Institute to investigate. After all, you're not really producing antimatter, and it's just in the research phase. Once the truth is revealed, the trouble will naturally be resolved," Wang Zhuo suggested.

"You are probably right in saying that but the problem is, I am indeed producing Antimatter," Su Jing said with a bitter smile on his face.

"Wait... What?" Wang Zhuo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard this, and Zheng Nan stood there with a dumbfounded expression on her face. 

The legendary Antimatter, considered to be reproducible in a stable form, Su Jing was actually producing it.
