Chapter 1572: An Impossible Achievement

The festivities aren't over yet.

The performance of the opening ceremony has just passed two programs, but the LSPM forum, an internationally renowned academic exchange community, has already been flooded with hotly discussed posts.

Whether they are scholars engaged in research in related fields, or people who just come to watch the excitement, they all joined the discussion on related topics.

[Academician Lu is awesome! 】

[Fuck, are you kidding me? Second-generation controllable fusion? ! Isn't it fifty years away from lighting a fire, and a hundred years away from keeping a fire in a cage? 】

[Why do I feel like an April Fool's joke? 】

【joke? Then how do you explain the aurora over the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration! Did everyone have the same hallucination that day? ! 】

[Maybe some kind of special celestial activity? Or... holograms? 】

[God damn holographic projection! What holographic projection can fill the sky of an urban agglomeration? ! 】

A holographic projection technology that can fill the sky of an urban agglomeration is obviously impossible. Or to put it another way, if this technology really exists, it may be even more surprising than the second-generation controllable fusion technology.

Not only are there heated discussions on the Internet about the reason for the appearance of the aurora, but the front desk phone of the East Asia Electric Power Group has almost been ringing off the hook.

Just when everyone was eager to know whether all this was related to the research of the second-generation controllable fusion technology, an announcement was suddenly published on the official website of East Asia Electric Power in a low-key manner.

The length of the announcement is very short, even less than twenty characters, but the amount of information is extremely huge!

[The second-generation controllable fusion reactor was successfully ignited, and the trial operation of the long-distance laser power transmission device was successful! 】

After seeing this announcement, people finally understood what the aurora that appeared over the urban agglomeration in the Yangtze River Delta was. And the discussions on whether the aurora is related to the second-generation controllable fusion technology on the LSPM forum have almost all turned into surprise and amazement without exception.

No one thought that everything would come so suddenly.

Suddenly, they are not even ready to think about what new changes will be brought to this dazzlingly prosperous world after mastering the second-generation controllable fusion technology.

Many people even did not expect that East Asia Electric Power could actually produce this second-generation controllable fusion technology under the leadership of Academician Lu.

After all, there has been almost no research progress that can be called a major breakthrough in the research on the second-generation controllable fusion technology in the past half century, so that the academic circle, which has been lingering in the bottleneck for too long, has even begun to re-examine it. Is helium-3 suitable as a fuel for the second-generation controllable fusion technology?

Coupled with the decline of electricity in East Asia, it has already begun in the second half of the last century.

With the bloated management system and the rigidity of the management team, the entire R&D center has basically become a nursing home based on seniority. There are no two patents in half a year, but the output of papers remains high.

Even if Lu Zhou climbed out of the coffin, it was impossible to save this weak giant.

What's more, he just took office as the chairman, and he gave this giant a strong dose of medicine.

Not only did he personally serve as a director of the Scientific Development Committee of the board of directors, but he also quickly cut off the largest and most critical R&D department of East Asia Electric Power--Electromagnet Design Institute, and paid a visit to the senior management of East Asia Electric Power. A big change of blood.

At that time, the outside world generally held a pessimistic attitude towards Lu Zhou's radical approach, thinking that East Asia Electric Power, a patient who was already on the verge of collapse, might completely lose his last vitality because of this powerful medicine.

However, it now appears that the fact is just the opposite.

Instead of going into decline, East Asia Power was reborn in the light of the second-generation controllable fusion technology...

Now almost no one doubts all the decisions made by Academician Lu back then.

If even that is not farsightedness, what else is worthy of this praise?

The No. 1 Prison of Jinling City.

Sitting in the cafeteria, Liu Sihai watched the news blankly.

After learning the news of the breakthrough of the second-generation controllable fusion technology, his already bloodless face became even more pale.

Although he didn't see the aurora in the sky last night because of the poor lighting behind the bars, the prison organized an event on the Ignition Day and allowed them to watch the live celebration until nine o'clock in the evening.

It is precisely because of this that he also watched Academician Lu's opening speech last night.

At that time, he was thinking about what the great gift Lu Zhou was talking about, but he didn't expect to see the mystery revealed in the news early in the morning.

Moreover, it was the result he was least willing to see...

"I didn't expect him to really come out..."

Muttering to himself, watching the news, he seemed to have lost his soul.

To be honest, at this point, he has basically given up any hope of being cleared of his charges.

With all the witnesses and material evidence, and the fact that the case involves the Alpha virus and KB activities, even if he is just a young man with a gun, it is absolutely impossible for him to end up with a lenient sentence.

At this moment, he has only one obsession in his heart, and that is to see the man who took everything from him standing in front of the camera of the news interview with a dejected face, admitting the failure of East Asia Electric Power in the second-generation controllable fusion project .

Only in this way can the hatred in his heart be eased a little.

In fact, I still remember that at the beginning of the year, when he saw the citizens of Guanghan City launch an unprecedented scale of protests against East Asia Electric Power’s experimental reactor project on the moon, he once thought that his dream would soon come true.

Even Lu Zhou would not be able to carry out his experimental reactor plan to the end under such great political pressure.

However, the facts before him are completely opposite.

Without him, East Asia Electric Power has not only completed the ignition of the second-generation controllable fusion, but also rejuvenated a new life, and it is getting better and better than before...

...

"I have to obey my old age."

Sitting in his home and watching the news, Wu Qing, the former research director of East Asia Electric Power, sighed with some melancholy.

Although he was dismissed by East Asia Electric Power, he has always stood on the standpoint of an outsider, paying attention to the research progress of the second-generation controllable fusion technology.

Unlike those who are pessimistic about the second-generation controllable fusion technology, he is actually optimistic that East Asia Power will eventually be able to solve the bottleneck of the second-generation controllable fusion technology.

Especially after seeing the courage and determination shown by that man in reforming East Asia Electric Power, even if he did kick himself out from the position of research director, he didn't particularly hate him.

After all, his end is always better than Liu Sihai who went to prison to "drink coffee"...

"...Unbelievable," reluctantly put away the newspaper unfolded on the holographic interface, and Zhao Qian, who was sitting opposite him, had a complicated expression on his face, "How could an antique from a hundred years ago be in the world?" Such a breakthrough in such a cutting-edge research field!"

Although as one of the managing directors of East Asia Power, he should be happy for the rise of East Asia Power.

But when he thinks that Lu Zhou, who has completed this project, will stand at the apex of the previous chairman of East Asia Electric Power, he has a complicated mood in his heart.

Don't even think about it, the chairman's position is getting farther and farther away from him...

Glancing at Zhao Qian with complicated writing on his face, Wu Qing sighed lightly.

Although there is a gap in age between the two, they have known each other for a long time, and they can be regarded as old friends. As for his friend's ambition, he had already heard about it.

"You mustn't do anything stupid."

"I know, it's just..."

Seeing through his thoughts at a glance, Wu Qing said slowly.

"It's not reconciled, is it?"

Zhao Qian nodded with a complicated expression.

Wu Qing was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.

"To be honest, he may not be so rare in the small temple of East Asia Electric Power for this great god. In my opinion, if we hadn't done too much in the past, he might not have suddenly become the chairman of the board. If you Be smart, what you should do at this time is definitely not to sing against him, it will be better to perform well in front of him."

"Behave well in front of him..."

"That's right." Looking at the old friend with a complicated expression, Wu Qing nodded, "According to historical experience, the second-generation controllable fusion technology has been completed, and he may not continue to work as the chairman."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and you can pretend you didn't hear it."

After finishing speaking, the old man surnamed Wu stopped expressing any opinions on this matter, and left aside the old friend who came to visit early in the morning, and continued to watch the news on the holographic screen.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhao Qian fell into silence, seemingly indifferent on the surface, but in his heart, because of what Wu Qing said earlier, turbulent waves had been set off.

Is this small temple of East Asia Electric Power...

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

If even East Asia Power, which can affect the stability of the entire Pan-Asian region and even the world economy, is considered a small temple, he really can't imagine what kind of existence it would be to be worthy of that person's stage...
