A Trillion Spent on Scrap Metal? This Is Controlled Nuclear Fusion

Lu Chenzhou, a top military-industry chief engineer, is reborn as the biggest spendthrift villain and hopeless simp in a modern urban power fantasy.

A trillion in assets to his name? Lu Chenzhou is overjoyed: With this much money, why would I need a woman? Isn't developing controlled nuclear fusion way more exciting?

To keep his true motives hidden, the whole internet watches as this rich wastrel's “courtship tactics” grow increasingly bizarre.

He splashes ten billion to buy an entertainment company on the verge of bankruptcy? The internet cries out: Young Master Lu is so devoted!

Lu Chenzhou: Move aside. I only care about building a particle collider in an underground air-raid shelter!

He rents an island in the Pacific to set off fireworks? The heroine tearfully says, “I'm willing to give you a chance.”

Lu Chenzhou: Who's setting off fireworks? Those are tactical missile test launches. Get lost and stop interrupting my data collection!

The original novel's chosen hero still hopes to turn things around by stumbling across confidential business information.

Then one day, the supreme commander of a theater command and the chief academician surround the Lu family villa with troops and personally hang a plaque reading “National Top-Secret Grade S Research Institute.”

The internet goes completely wild: The good-for-nothing playboy everyone cursed is actually a scientific genius who single-handedly raised the country's industrial capabilities?

The male lead, Ye Chen, suffers a collapse of his Daoist resolve, while the heroine kneels and begs to get back together.

Lu Chenzhou smiles faintly. “Don't bother me with romance. My journey is to the stars and the sea!”
