Sure enough, my judgment was correct, and I said at the time that no one is more suitable as the chairman than him! "

It is not just Wu Qing who is also "retiring" who is watching the progress of the event. Zhong Ziyu, the managing director of the AIIB's board of directors, also has a sincere smile on his face.

He acknowledged that the refusal of Lu Zhou as chairman of the board of directors at the time did indeed have a gambling component. But now it seems that he not only made the right bet, but also received far more than expected.

Those colleagues who were against him within the Asian Investment Bank used to pretend that the ostrich was not talking, or he had begun to smack his fart.

At this moment, he is standing in the office of the AIIB president and reporting to the president on the completion of the second-generation controllable fusion project and the total expenditure of the entire project.

"You hide it from us quite deeply," the same smile on his face, after listening to Zhong Ziyu's report, the president relaxedly looked at him and said, "the whole project was completed suddenly, I am a little bit here No mental preparation. "

Zhong Ziyu made a helpless expression on his face and shrugged his shoulders.

"In fact, I don't know much. The entire second-generation controllable fusion technology research, especially the progress of the project on the moon experimental reactor base, has a very high density within the group, and non-related personnel want to access this part of the data. He must get his approval. Even my managing director has only recently heard of the successful ignition. "

"This is not a good thing," he beat him lightly, and the president paused for a moment before continuing. "What does he think?"

"idea?"

President: "About the Board of Directors of East Asia Power."

Zhong Ziyu thought for a while, and replied carefully: "I can't guess his thoughts, just like I didn't expect him to be the chairman himself. However, judging from his behavior in the past few months, he has not been in the group for a long time Headquarters has appeared. "

The governor was silent for a while, then sighed softly.

"I know."

Has not appeared in the group headquarters for a long time ...

Obviously, the man has lost his interest in East Asia Power, and most of the positions of chairman and director of the Science and Technology Committee do not intend to continue.

However, if you think about it, the second-generation controllable fusion experimental reactor was successfully ignited. His biggest wish has already been made, and there is really no need to continue to be on the East Asian Electric Power Board.

It's just that when he walks in and out, he is chic, he just has to let how many investment banks and shareholders have to rejoice and worry about the high-level changes of East Asia Power ...

After a pause, the governor continued.

"... If Lu Zhou leaves and resigns from the position of chairman, who do you think is the most suitable candidate for the next chairman?"

Zhong Ziyu shook her head.

"I don't know ... but to be honest, since last month I can clearly feel that there is a tense atmosphere in the board of directors. Obviously it's not just us, others have realized that Lu Zhou may choose."

"I want you to work for a term."

Looking at Zhong Ziyu who was there, the president smiled and said.

"For the time being, regardless of whether there is a suitable successor candidate over Luzhou, being able to place bets on the second-generation controllable fusion plan is not something that can be done by luck."

"Frankly speaking, I appreciate your vision!"

...

Not to mention how internally East Asia Power is surging because of the breakthrough of the second-generation controllable fusion technology, the international community that was originally calm and calm has become choppy because of the amazing "gift" of Lu Zhou.

Whoever masters the second-generation controllable fusion technology will have the ability to navigate far-planets, or in other words, who will master the entire universe beyond the asteroid belt and beyond the solar system!

This statement may be a bit exaggerated, but helium III is indeed more suitable as a space-age fuel than using expensive and scarce plutonium. The second-generation controllable fusion reactor, which uses helium tri / deuterium as fuel, is also more suitable as the core of the space age because it does not generate additional neutrons and continuously consume core materials.

Not to mention the issue of energy density. If a first-generation controllable fusion reactor with a normal number of generating units can meet the energy needs of a city group, then the second-generation controllable fusion reactor is the entire regional alliance.

It is no exaggeration to say that once the breakthrough in long-distance power transmission technology is achieved, the moon, which has three reserves of helium, will immediately change from a tasteless and tasteless chicken rib, and become an engine of the Earth-Moon system!

At that time, there will be no need to build any fusion reactor on the earth, and the production line for refining meat and vegetables will gradually be shut down. From now on, human beings will enter a new era, and this change will exceed the imagination of the 22nd century!

As for how to deal with long-distance transmission ...

Long before the start of the second-generation controllable fusion program, Lu Zhou had already thought of a solution to this problem.

"So how do you plan to solve the energy attenuation problem of long-distance transmission?" Li Guangya, a five-star hotel near the heart of Asia, sitting in a private conference room, asked Lu Zhou curiously, "Is that laser direct? Poked on the surface? "

"How is that possible?" Lu Zhou shook his head and said slowly, "Not to mention the attenuation of the laser's energy in the atmospheric environment, even if we consider the possible impact on the ecosystem, we cannot do it."

Li Guangya: "What are you planning on?"

Lu Zhou: "It's very simple. Deploy a few receivers in low-Earth orbit, and then transfer power from low-Earth orbit to the surface through superconducting cables."

Li Guangya: "..."

He couldn't feel it at all, how simple was that?

"Rest assured, I have already considered this matter. If it is not reliable, I will not take out this plan," glanced at the time on the wall, Lu Zhou looked at the chairman sitting opposite and continued Said, "If nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Wait."

Seeing that the landing boat was about to get up and leave the conference room, Li Guangya quickly called and stopped him.

"Is there anything else?"

Using a negotiated tone, Li Guangya smiled embarrassedly.

"I have something here, and I need you to help me."

"what's up."

"A Closing Speech!"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou sighed and said nothing.

"Isn't that your job?"

"Although that's what it said, now you have the monopoly of the whole celebration," with a helpless expression on his face, Li Guangya put his hands on the table and continued, "Not to mention this was our original As promised, I will give you the convenience of ascending the second-generation controllable fusion project. You support my space elevator. "

Lu Zhou: "Does the closing speech have anything to do with this?"

"Of course," Li Guangya nodded as a matter of course, gently pushed a holographic interface in front of Lu Zhou, said with a dry cough, "After you've seen it, you understand why I said that."

...

The celebration of the ignition day lasted for three full days.

Although many excellent scientific research results were also displayed during this period, the whole celebration was undoubtedly stolen by an East Asian power company.

After all, no matter how bright the technology is, it is impossible to compare the energy beyond the star. What's more, nuclear fusion technology has extraordinary significance for the people of Pan-Asia. On this special day, the ignition of the second-generation fusion reactor was completed, no more than the excitement on the Internet in these two days.

Bathed in applause and a pair of enthusiastic eyes, Chairman Li Guangya, who was standing in front of the stage, was intoxicated for about two seconds, and then a kind smile appeared on his face.

After a short pause, he immediately began the final part of the celebration.

The chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation announced the closing speech.

While Li Guangya was reading his closing speech, Lu Zhou, who was waiting behind the scenes, was watching the reactions of him and the audience. I have to admit that this guy's popularity is still quite high, at least the excitement on his face is not like pretending.

Of course, if the actor is invited, then say something else.

In political matters, Lu Zhou was not particularly interested in itself.

The ten-minute closing speech soon came to an end.

Glancing at the time on the watch, it seemed that he was about to play, Lu Zhou got up from the chair, and the followers' staff walked to the steps.

At almost the same time, Chairman Li Guangya, who was standing in front of the stage, used a concise tone to end his speech.

"The following is our academician Lu, the general consultant for scientific development of the Pan-Asian Ministry of Science and Technology, to announce an important thing!"

Talking, Li Guangya let out the microphone next to her, and smiled and made a gesture to Lu Zhou.

As Lu Zhou stood in front of the stage and asked for the boiling and noisy venue, the sound was quiet for a dozen decibels.

At this moment, whether sitting in front of the TV or at the scene, everyone stopped what was on their hands and looked at Lu Zhou intently, for fear of missing a word or even a detail.

At the opening ceremony three days ago, the aurora covering the entire city deeply conquered their hearts.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing him on this stage once again, and what surprises they will bring to them.

Obviously, Lu Zhou did not live up to the expectations in those double sights.

Standing in front of the stage, he quickly spoke.

"It's an honor to stand here and put an end to this important celebration. Topics such as solidarity, courage, and gratitude have been said by our chairman, and I will not repeat them here. . "

Looking at the friendly smiles on the faces of the audience sitting in the front row, Lu Zhou also responded with a smile.

After a pause, he spoke in a serious and solemn tone.

"Considering the need for the development of space resources for Pan-Asian cooperation, and the potential impact of the extensive use of shuttles on the ecosystem, the Pan-Asian Cooperation Resolution launched the 'Wood Project' to solve once and for all the difficult problem of returning from the surface to high orbit!

Hearing the voice from the stage, the delegates of various countries sitting on the VIP seat showed surprise expressions on their faces, and whispered to their colleagues or other representatives beside them.

Sitting in the meeting room, Clooney held the lens in his hand tightly, and the index finger pressed on the shutter was almost stiff.

Intuition tells him that he is going through a historic moment!

At such a great moment, missing even one shot is a loss of the entire civilization!

"... In short, we plan to build an elevator from the surface to the space on the equator," watching the next stage of the stage gradually changed from surprise to astonishment, Lu Zhou continued with an unquestionable tone. "This is something that was discussed long ago."

"And I think the time is ripe!"

The moment the words fell, the entire Heart of Asia venue was like a boiling boiler, and instantly boiled ...-

(The second one is not very satisfactory. I plan to adjust the details to make the beginning of the next plot more compact. Today there is only one more. I'm really sorry.)
