After Getting Fired, I Built a Nuclear Fusion Reactor in the Basement

After failing his postgraduate entrance exams, Su Chen was publicly struck off his advisor's roster and had his access card taken away.

Zhou Henian said, "Don't touch what you don't deserve. I'll hold on to your card for you."

Su Chen turned and walked into the basement, where he awakened the Truth Deduction System.

Every time someone insulted him, his research inspiration score went up.

Every time his advisor sabotaged him, progress toward a nuclear fusion breakthrough sped up.

They thought he was giving up on himself.

That is, until the data in the EAST control room began syncing and fluctuating.

At an academic conference, Zhou Henian slammed the table. "These data are fake!"

Su Chen opened the live connection. "Professor Zhou, the data you can't understand, the country can."

The room fell silent.

That night, the System displayed a notification:

Evidence fragment unlocked: Original paper archive on Zhou Henian's D drive. Deleted, but recoverable.

Su Chen smiled.

"Teacher Zhou, when you deleted my paper, you didn't think the System would keep score, did you?"
