Chapter 1571: An Impossible To Complete Exploit

The celebration was not over yet.

Only two performances had gone by since the opening ceremony, but the internationally renowned academic exchange community LSPM forum was already flooded with discussion posts.

Whether it was scholars who were engaged in research in related fields or purely people who were hopping on the bandwagon, they had all joined in on the discussion of related topics.

[Academician Lu is nutty!]

[F*ck me, are you kidding me? Second-generation controllable fusion?! Didn’t they say we were 50 years away from the ignition and a hundred years away from keeping the plasma in a cage?]

[Why do I feel like this is an April Fool’s joke?]

[Joke? So how do you explain the aurora over the Yangtze River Delta City Group! Did everyone have the same hallucinations that day?]

[Maybe it’s some kind of special celestial activity? Or… holographic projection?]

[Holographic projection my a*s! What holographic projection can fill the sky of a city group!]

Holographic projection technology that could fill the sky of a city group was obviously impossible. To put it another way, if this kind of technology really existed, it might be more amazing than second-generation controllable fusion technology.

The reason for the emergence of the aurora was discussed on the Internet, and the front desk phone of East Asia Energy had also been blown up.

Everyone was eager to know whether all this was related to the research of second-generation controllable fusion technology when East Asia Energy’s official website suddenly published a low-key announcement.

The length of the announcement was very short, but the amount of information inside was extremely large!

[The second-generation controllable fusion reactor was successfully ignited, and the long-distance laser power transmission device was also successfully tested!]

After seeing this announcement, people finally understood what the aurora that appeared over the city group was. The discussions on the LSPM forum about whether the aurora was related to the second-generation controllable fusion technology had almost all turned into surprises and wonders.

No one thought that everything would come so suddenly.

They were not even ready to think about what new changes would be brought to this already prosperous and dazzling world after mastering second-generation controllable fusion technology.

Many people did not expect that under the leadership of Academician Lu, East Asia Energy could really make the second-generation controllable fusion technology.

After all, with regard to the research on the second generation of controllable fusion technology, there had been almost no research progress that could be regarded as a major breakthrough in the past half a century. The academic circle had been in a bottleneck for too long, and they had even begun to wonder if helium-3 was a suitable fuel for the second-generation controllable fusion technology.

Coupled with the decline of East Asia Energy, which had begun since the second half of the last century…

With a bloated management system, the entire R&D department had basically become a senior-level nursing home. There were no registered patents, yet the number of published papers remained high.

When Lu Zhou crawled out of a coffin, everyone thought that he couldn’t save the dying energy giant.

But, he, who had just taken up the post of chairman, gave this giant a medicine.

Not only did he personally serve as a director of the Scientific Development Committee of the Board of Directors, but he also cut off the largest and most critical R&D department of East Asia Energy, the electromagnet research institute, and did a strict reform of the entire R&D department.

At that time, the outside world generally held a pessimistic attitude towards Lu Zhou’s radical actions, thinking that East Asia Energy, a company that was already shaky, might have its last breath because of this powerful medicine.

However, it now appeared that the facts were just the opposite.

East Asia Energy had not declined but had been reborn in the light of the second-generation controllable fusion technology…

Now, almost no one doubted the decisions made by Academician Lu back then.

If they couldn’t consider Lu Zhou a prophet, then who could be one?

Inside No. 1 Prison of Jin Ling city.

Liu Sihai, who was sitting in the cafeteria, watched the news with a blank expression.

After learning about the breakthrough of the second-generation controllable fusion technology, his pale face became even paler.

Although he did not see the aurora in the sky last night because of the prison bars, the prison organized a fusion ignition day activity, allowing them to watch the celebration until nine o’clock in the evening.

Because of this, he watched the opening speech by Academician Lu last night.

At that time, he was thinking about what exactly was the big gift Lu Zhou was talking about. He didn’t expect to see the mystery revealed in the news when he got up early in the morning.

Moreover, it was the result he least wanted to see…

“He actually did it…” he muttered to himself, watching the news as if he had lost his soul.

To be honest, at this point, he basically had no hope of getting rid of the charges.

With complete personal and physical evidence, as well as the case involving the ALPHA virus and terrorist activities, even if he was just a minor character, he definitely wouldn’t be let off easily.

At this moment, there was only one obsession in his heart. He wanted to see the man who took everything from him stand in front of the cameras with a frustrated expression, acknowledging the failure of East Asia Energy in the second-generation controllable fusion project.

Only this could slightly ease the hatred in his heart.

In fact, he still remembered that at the beginning of the year, when he saw the Guanghan citizens launching an unprecedented scale of protests to boycott the East Asia Energy’s experimental reactor plan on the moon, he once thought that his dream would soon come true.

Even Lu Zhou would not be able to withstand such a large political pressure to stubbornly carry out his experimental reactor plan to the end.

However, the facts before him were completely opposite.

East Asia Power had not only completed the ignition of the second generation of controllable fusion, but it also regained a new life, getting better and better than before…

…

“I’m getting old.”

Sitting in his home, Wu Qing, the former research director of East Asia Energy, who was watching the news, sighed in a melancholy way.

Although he was fired by East Asia Energy, from the standpoint of an outsider, he had been paying attention to the research progress of the second-generation controllable fusion technology.

Unlike those who were pessimistic about the second-generation controllable fusion technology, he was actually optimistic that East Asia Power would eventually solve the bottleneck of the second-generation controllable fusion technology.

Especially after seeing the man’s courage and determination in reforming East Asia Energy. Even if Lu Zhou did fire him from the position of scientific research director, he did not particularly hate him.

After all, his life was better than Liu Sihai, who was in prison…

“Unbelievable…” Zhao Qian reluctantly put away the newspaper on the holographic interface. He had a complicated expression on his face as he said, “How could an old antique from a hundred years ago make such a big breakthrough in a cutting-edge research field!”

As one of the managing directors of East Asia Energy, he should be happy for the rise of East Asia Energy.

But when he remembered that it was Lu Zhou who had completed this project and that it would be Lu Zhou who would stand at the apex of East Asia Energy as the chairman of the board, he had a mixed feeling in his heart.

The position of chairman was getting farther and farther away from him…

Looking at the complicated look on Zhao Qian’s face, Wu Qing sighed lightly.

Although there was a difference in age between the two, they had known each other for a long time, so they could be regarded as old friends. Wu Qing obviously knew of his old friend’s ambitions.

“Don’t do stupid things.”

“I know, it’s just…”

Seeing through his thoughts, Wu Qing said slowly, “Unwilling to give up?”

Zhao Qian nodded with a complicated expression.

Wu Qing was silent for a while before speaking slowly, “To be honest, this great man won’t put his sight on the tiny temple of East Asia Energy for much longer. In my opinion, if we weren’t so outrageous at the beginning, he might not have become the chairman of the board. If you were smarter, you should know that you shouldn’t antagonize him. You should stay on his good side.”

“On his good side…”

“That’s right.” Wu Qing nodded. Looking at his old friend, he said, “The second-generation controllable fusion technology has been completed. Based on his history, he may not continue to work as the chairman.

“Of course, this is just my personal opinion, you can also ignore it.”

After speaking, Wu Qing stopped expressing any opinions on this matter and left his old friend, who came to visit him early in the morning, alone.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhao Qian fell silent. While he seemed to be indifferent on the surface, because of Wu Qing’s previous words, a stormy sea had set off in his heart.

Tiny temple of East Asia Energy…

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

If even East Asia Energy, which could affect the entire Pan-Asian region and even the stability of the world economy, was considered a small temple, he really couldn’t imagine what was worthy of Lu Zhou’s attention…
