Chapter 570 Opening up the World

Later, He Ying asked many questions for the audience, and Lu Zhou answered them all.

Including how controllable fusion technology will affect the lives of ordinary people.

Including what positive impacts the breakthrough of energy technology will have on the national economy.

Including his own next plan...

Of course, as for the specific technical aspects, Lu Zhou naturally wouldn't say anything.

After the program is recorded and before it is officially broadcast, someone will edit the content of the program and subtract those problematic areas from the official broadcast.

Of course, these things will be handled by professionals, so there is no need for Lu Zhou to worry about it.

The show entered the second half. During the interactive session with the audience, a little girl about eleven or twelve years old walked onto the stage holding a large bouquet of carnations and walked to Lu Zhou's side.

Looking at Lu Zhou with bright eyes, the little girl handed out the bouquet in her hand.

"The teacher told us that if you put carnations in a vase on the bedside table, your cold will heal faster. Grandpa said that you have helped many people with your knowledge, and I hope you will get better soon. Also, I will I also want to become a great scientist like you..."

It's not easy to finish talking so much in one breath, especially with such a large bouquet of flowers in your hands.

After finishing speaking, little Luo Li took a deep breath, looking so cute that one couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you for the carnations!"

Smiling, he took the bouquet from her hand. Although he knew that this link was probably arranged, Lu Zhou still smiled and sent her sincere thanks, "Just smelling the fragrance of flowers, I feel like I have recovered. It's almost done. Remember to say thank you to your teacher for me."

With a flushed face, the little girl nodded vigorously, then turned around, and ran off to the stage.

The audience burst into applause.

With a round of applause, the show came to an end.

From the studio to the adjacent lounge.

After thanking Lu Zhou on behalf of the program group, He Ying continued with a smile.

"Is Professor Lu free soon?"

Lu Zhou: "What's the matter?"

He Ying smiled implicitly: "Nothing special, I just want to treat you to a meal or something."

"For dinner, let's wait another day. I'm afraid Dr. Yan won't allow me to go out and eat casually before I leave the hospital," Lu Zhou said with a smile.

Yan Yan, who was standing behind him, didn't speak, but obviously acquiesced to this.

Although she has no right to control what Lu Zhou wants to do, but as his full-time doctor, it is also one of her responsibilities to repeatedly nag on his health issues.

Although a little regretful, He Ying still said with a smile.

"That's fine, it's better to wait another day."

After coming out of the TV station, Lu Zhou got into the car at the door, and unexpectedly found that the driver had changed from the guard on duty in the west courtyard of the 301 Hospital to Wang Peng, who hadn't been seen for almost three days.

Sitting firmly in the back row of the driver's seat, looking at the familiar face in the car interior mirror, Lu Zhou laughed and joked, "I thought you were going home for the New Year holiday."

Regarding Lu Zhou's ridicule, Wang Peng made a helpless expression.

"What kind of year is it? I'm afraid the year-end bonus will be gone."

Not to mention the year-end bonus.

If he hadn't made meritorious deeds before, it would be trivial to record a major demerit.

The thing he did the most these days was probably being scolded.

"The year-end bonus is gone? Why—" Just halfway through the words, Lu Zhou suddenly realized, and suddenly coughed a little embarrassedly, "Uh, it can't be because of me..."

Wang Peng smiled awkwardly, but did not speak.

This question can only be understood, and it is really difficult to answer it.

Of course, although it was because Lu Zhou was punished, he didn't have any complaints in his heart, instead he felt a little sorry for Lu Zhou. After all, it is his duty to protect Lu Zhou's safety, but judging from the results, he is obviously negligent.

However, although Wang Peng was willing to be punished, Lu Zhou, who knew the truth of the matter, felt a little sorry. After all, his coma was not caused by poisoning or malnutrition. It was purely because he had upgraded too fast, and his brain could not bear the load that came with it...

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou decided to do something to make up for it, so he said.

"...Well, let me write a letter for you and explain the situation to your leader."

Upon hearing this sentence, Wang Peng became anxious immediately: "Don't, you must never do this,"

Lu Zhou solemnly said: "No, I really can't blame you for this matter, the main reason is that I didn't pay attention to my health—"

At this moment, Yan Yan, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"His department has the discipline of his department. If something is wrong, it is wrong. There is nothing to refute... If you really write letters for him, not only will you not be able to help him, but it will make him difficult."

In this matter, she was also punished.

The reason why she was not replaced was only because of the report from the hospital, and there was no direct evidence to prove that his cause was related to human factors.

And this is why Wang Peng was able to return to his post and make up for his mistakes.

Even if her father is an old comrade-in-arms of the staff officer, there is no reason to talk about the punishment.

And she never thought of asking Lu Zhou for help.

Hearing what Yan Yan said, Lu Zhou vaguely realized their difficulties, so he dismissed the idea of ​​writing a letter to intercede and help them cancel the punishment.

Although there is still some regret in my heart, this matter is over and it is over.

At most, if there is a chance in the future, I will compensate them from other places...

Back at Hospital 301, Lu Zhou was about to go upstairs for today's routine checkup. But just as he was walking towards the main building, he happened to find Academician Wang waiting at the gate of the hospital building.

Seeing Lu Zhou coming back from the outside, Academician Wang's eyes lit up and he walked over with a smile.

"How is it? Do you feel better?"

"I feel much better." Looking at Academician Wang, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's going to be New Year's Eve soon, why don't you go home for the New Year?"

"I'm from the local area, where do I go back? I'll be home by subway." Seeing Lu Zhou, who can already walk by himself, Academician Wang nodded in relief, "I'm relieved that you are fine. You don't know how many people died of sudden death when you fell down some time ago."

Hearing this complaint, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry."

"I'm sorry, don't say that. If you want to say sorry, we should tell you," Academician Wang sighed, "Research on controllable fusion is indeed not an easy task, especially when coordinating various departments. The work is especially difficult. Originally, these burdens were all on you alone, and you solved several key problems yourself. To be honest... I and Lao Li from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences are very sorry. .”

"It's okay for those who are able to work harder," Lu Zhou smiled, and said indifferently, "And I'm fine now, aren't I?"

Academician Wang sighed: "You can think that way, I feel better. By the way, there is one more thing I have to tell you. During the time you were unconscious, we tried to ignite a few more fires. Second, from all aspects, the operation of the STAR-2 demonstration reactor is quite perfect. The Great Elder personally issued instructions, planning to formally implement grid connection after the end of the year, and supply power to 80 million residents in Suzhou Province!"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Officially connected to the grid? This is a good thing!"

Academician Wang smiled and said: "Yeah, it's really a great thing. I didn't expect to see this day in my lifetime. But before that, I have to trouble you with one thing."

Lu Zhou frowned: "Is there something wrong with the demonstration pile?"

Impossible?

Even the system recognized that he had successfully ignited.

"It's not that there is something wrong with the demonstration pile," Academician Wang hurriedly explained when he saw Lu Zhou's solemn expression, "It's just that when it's connected to the grid, we can't continue to call it by code name? After all, it is the first in the world. Fusion reactor, the meaning above is to ask for our opinions. I am not interested in naming this matter, the opinion of the chief designer is my opinion, "

Speaking of this, Academician Wang smiled and said, "Do you want to give this reactor a better name? I really can't think of it. You can use your own name. This is a good opportunity to leave a name in history."

"Forget it with my name, it sounds weird," Lu Zhou said with a dry cough, "I'll think about it again."

Academician Wang: "Okay, you can think about it first, I actually have a few alternatives here, you can refer to it."

Lu Zhou: "What is the alternative?"

"Houyi, Golden Crow, Fire Stealer, Suirenshi, etc., and Prometheus who are more international. They were all voted by the people in the base. You can see which one is more suitable. "

Lu Zhou thought for a long time, and finally spoke.

"...Just call it Pangu."

Academician Wang: "Pangu?"

"Yes." Lu Zhou nodded and confirmed.

He had actually been thinking about this name for a while.

With the unlocking of controllable fusion technology, not only energy itself will be changed, but the future of the entire world will be changed.

In this sense, the birth of this demonstration reactor can indeed be called a breakthrough.

"You think this name is good, so that's fine." Smiling, Academician Wang continued, "That's fine, I won't stay here any longer, and I will report this name later. You rest here Let's strive for a speedy recovery. Everyone at the demonstration reactor base is looking forward to your discharge from the hospital. Until now, the successful ignition has not held a celebration banquet or commendation meeting. We have been looking forward to it for a year. Isn't this the moment we've been waiting for? "

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.

"Well, I promise, I won't keep you waiting too long."
