Chapter 559: A better tomorrow than yesterday

Early morning on December 31.
The streets of Washington are still quiet.
As one of the ten important legal holidays in the United States, it will be a Christmas holiday until the 5th of next year.
However, not everyone is in the mood to enjoy this holiday.
At least one Mr. President with cool hair did not.
Rather, he and the White House bureaucrats didn't look at each other all night last night.
In a few more hours, Huaguo will conduct ignition experiments on the controllable fusion demonstration reactor located in the province of Jiangsu, leaving them little time.
After delivering the New Year's Eve speech and Twitter last night, he immediately convened ministerial officials for an overnight meeting. After the meeting, he reserved an appointment with the Ambassador of China.
At five in the morning, a long black car was parked in the Northwest District of Washington, downstairs from the Chinese Embassy in the United States.
Accompanied by several accompanying persons, Mr. President, who was wearing the suit of yesterday, was received by the embassy staff and walked into the interior of the embassy.
"I went straight to the point," he gestured, signaled to Helms who was accompanying him to close the door, Trang spectrum stared at Ambassador Sun Wenkai sitting opposite him, and said solemnly, "Probably Five hours later, you will conduct a nuclear test in Haizhou. Am I right? "
Hearing this sentence, Ambassador Sun curved his mouth as if he heard something very funny.
He didn't directly answer this question, and saw that he put down the tea cup in his hand and asked instead.
"Who told you?"
"It doesn't matter," Mr. President, crossing his fingers on his knees, thinking he had guessed, flashed a pride in his eyes, stared at him with an oppressive gaze, and continued without delay. According to the provisions of the Nuclear Test Treaty, all nuclear tests should be prohibited. However, according to information obtained by our intelligence system, you seem to be violating this international convention. "
While saying this, Trang spectrum tried to see a flaw in his expression.
To his disappointment, however, he saw nothing.
He didn't even see the trace of dread he wanted to see ...
Picking up the tea cup again, Ambassador Sun took a sip of hot tea and said unhurriedly, "Understanding the study of controlled fusion as a nuclear test is a very novel interpretation. If you don't know the difference between the two Why not ask the experts in your country? "
There was a hint of coldness in the corner of the president's mouth.
He certainly knew the difference between the two.
But this does not mean that he cannot confuse the concept between the two.
"Who can guarantee that what you say is true? No matter what you are planning, the international community needs a reasonable explanation for the secret experiments that took place in Area 900. If you are not doing anything unspeakable, why? Don't put your experiments under the supervision of the international community? "
"Zone 900?" Sun Wenkai grinned at this sharp topic, "Do you call it that way?"
The president solemnly said, "Please don't digress, I'm talking about something very serious."
With a smile on his face, Sun Wenkai spoke slowly and calmly.
"If you want to pretend to be curious about what we are doing there, you don't have to get involved with the international community. The experiments conducted there are never secrets, and although confidential parts are involved, no one can spy on them."
The president changed his face and said, "We have the power to doubt."
"Yes, of course you have this right." With that said, Ambassador Sun Wenkai suddenly stopped talking and glanced at his watch. "His Excellency, it is 5.50 in the morning."
The president frowned: "Is there anything wrong?"
"I want to take up half an hour of your time before I continue to discuss this topic with you," Ambassador Sun said gently.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the president leaned back.
"Oh? What interesting proposal does Mr. Sun have?"
"It may not be particularly interesting for you," Ambassador Sun smiled elegantly, reached for the remote control from the coffee table, "but I still want to invite you to watch a show together."
program?
The president froze slightly.
"What program?"
"News Feeds."
...
5:50 ET, December 30th.
Converted to Shanghai time, it is 18:50 on December 31.
At this moment, in the CCTV studio, the host Guo Qiang was watching the press release in his hands, nervously making final preparations.
Although a teleprompter reminded him when to say something, as a moderator, he still had to have a comprehensive understanding of the whole event.
Especially today is a special day.
Not just because it is the last day of 2019, but also because just a few hours ago, a great event happened in Haizhou, Jiangsu.
The well-known Nobel Prize winner Professor Lu Zhou's STAR-2 demonstration reactor project, with the cooperation of hundreds of research institutes across the country, finally lived up to expectations and successfully ignited!
Under the instructions of the central government, in order to ensure that the news of the successful fusion of controllable fusion can be broadcast to the whole country as soon as possible, the editors of the news editorial department have prepared four sets of plans for different situations to ensure the smooth broadcast of this news.
If nothing else, the news webcast of this episode will be recorded in the annals of history with the news of the success of the controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor ...
As a moderator to convey the news to the national audience, the pressure he bears is not trivial.
Taking a deep breath, Guo Qiang, sitting in front of the camera, took advantage of these last few seconds to relax his nervous mood.
Standing behind the camera in the studio, the head of the commander who personally entered the battlefield made a gesture and motioned to him.
"Xiao Guo, we can start!"
"Okay," Guo Qiang nodded earnestly, facing the camera, showing a smile he had practiced countless times beforehand.
"Good evening everyone, today's time is December 31st, 7pm on the Gregorian calendar ..."
Just like countless drills, Guo Qiang staring at the teleprompter clearly read the contents of the press release.
Compared with other CCTV announcers whose main facial expression is cold and solemn, he is one of them who laughs more.
Especially in his personal style, in addition to his calm atmosphere, he has a little more affinity than others. It is for this reason that this time the news webcast chose him to stand here as the host.
According to the director, the news webcast of this episode is not just about the people across the country, the whole world is waiting.
As one of the country's windows facing the world, the leader hopes that he can convey the message of the success of the controlled fusion experiment to the world and convey the message of friendship and peace through the image of calmness and friendship.
The peaceful rise of China will not be premised on sacrificing the sovereignty of other countries.
"... A few days ago, the STAR-2 demonstration reactor located in Tianwan, Haizhou City, Jiangsu Province, under the instruction of Chief Designer Lu, completed the final ignition experiment."
Once the screen was turned, a short movie was inserted, and the camera switched to the scene of the ignition scene.
There was no gorgeous fire, no earth-shattering roar, and some were just a simple control room, a row of screens and consoles blurred, and the person who pressed the button, and cheers followed.
Even across the screen, they can feel their excitement, excitement, and pride.
Guo Qiang, who was sitting in the studio, continued to recite with a clear and friendly voice.
"... At present, the reactor is operating stably, and the output of the No. 1 generator set has successfully reached the expected 1000MW."
"According to the original plan, the reactor will gradually complete the grid connection work next year. It is expected that the installed capacity will be gradually increased to 50000MW within the year. At that time, the controllable fusion demonstration reactor that completes the grid connection work ~ EbookFREE.me ~ will meet The power needs of most parts of the province ... "
The light of controlled fusion is lit.
Maybe it won't be long before the streets will be full of electric cars.
Perhaps it won't be long before the desalinated seawater can irrigate the Gobi into oasis and good fields.
Maybe it won't be long before, those things that originally only stayed in the imagination will come into reality one after another ...
Their distance from the future has never been so close.
And when that day really comes, oil will no longer be used as fuel, it will only exist as a raw material for industrial production.
From Hormuz to Malacca, from the Red Sea to the South China Sea, the strategic imperatives that once made China stubbornly stubborn will no longer be fishbone stuck in the lifeline of China's energy, and the national transportation of the motherland will be as long as the stars.
All this is what he can imagine standing here.
Proud of the excited and cheering scholars in the video, Guo Qiang's eyes were wet unknowingly.
There was a trembling sound of excitement in the voice, and he sat in front of the camera, holding his hands tightly in the press release.
Facing the expectation of the people across the country, he announced solemnly and solemnly.
"Comrades, the wheels of history are rolling forward, and we are already ahead of the times."
"The spark of controlled fusion illuminates both hope and the future."
"History will remember this moment, those hard-won moments, and the great scholars who dedicated their youth to scientific research!"
"And a better tomorrow than yesterday will be witnessed by all of us!"
