Chapter 34 Ahhh, I shook hands with Number 1!
The helicopter flew through the clouds, over cities and mountains, and finally landed on a remote island far from the mainland.
From the air, the island appears lush and green, dotted with various military training facilities, with warships moored in the harbor, resembling a heavily guarded naval training base.
However, when the helicopter landed on a helipad surrounded by mountains in the center of the island, Zhou Jue discovered that there was a hidden world there.
The massive alloy gate slid open silently, revealing a vast underground base buried deep within the mountain.
The room was brightly lit, with various cutting-edge instruments flashing their lights. Researchers in white coats and fully armed soldiers moved back and forth, and a solemn and tense atmosphere permeated the air.
As soon as he got off the plane, Zhou Jue saw a group of people waiting in front of the tarmac.
The leader had a kind face and a calm demeanor. Although he was wearing a simple Zhongshan suit, he exuded an aura of profound composure.
Zhou Jue's heart skipped a beat.
She had seen this face countless times in the news.
Number 1!
"Comrade Xiao Zhou, welcome home." Number 1 extended his hand, a gentle smile on his face. "You've worked hard."
Zhou Jue was flattered and quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Hello, Commander! It's no trouble at all, it's all I should do!"
Oh my god, she actually shook hands with number 1! She's decided she's not washing this hand for a week! Hehe!
Commander Zhang chuckled from the side, "Number 1 heard you were back and specially canceled all his meetings to come and meet our great hero in person."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, a short but solemn awarding ceremony took place.
Without saying much, Number 1 personally pinned a uniquely designed medal on Zhou Jue's chest.
"You are the first recipient of the 'Special Contribution Award for Blue Star'." Number 1's tone was solemn and powerful: "Every exploration you have undertaken is related to the future of our civilization. The nation thanks you, and the people thank you."
After the ceremony, Number 1 said with an encouraging smile, "Alright, enough with the formalities. I'm also very curious and want to see for myself what this 'local specialty' from another world is really like."
"yes!"
Zhou Jue immediately stood at attention.
The group, surrounding Zhou Jue and several leaders, marched into the core experimental area of the base.
This area is divided into several independent, top-tier laboratories.
"This is the plant gene research laboratory," Chen Jianguo explained.
Zhou Jue nodded, and with a thought, a large number of special plants appeared out of thin air on the experimental table. Some looked like plants from Earth, while others were completely new to him.
"Crescent Moon Grass", "Amethyst Flower", "Golden Leaf Vine"...
"My God! The cellular structure of this plant..."
"Quick! Detect the energy response! Its chlorophyll composition is completely different!"
The experts in the laboratory instantly erupted in excitement. As if they had seen a rare treasure, their eyes lit up, and they rushed over to begin conducting various tests.
The group then went to the second laboratory.
"This is the Materials and Energy Research Laboratory."
Zhou Jue waved her hand and placed the copper ore, tin ore, lead ore, and a bronze battle axe that she had specially brought back on the metal platform.
"My God! This metallic ore... it's amazing!"
"Immediately conduct hardness and toughness tests! Analyze its metallic crystal structure!"
Another uncontrollable gasp and commotion erupted.
The third room is the Gene Evolution Research Lab.
Zhou Jue took out several fruits of different shapes, each containing various attributes.
"Sunburn Fruit", "Ice Crystal Fruit", "Stone Heart Fruit"...
"Quick! Extract its active ingredients! Perform gene sequence comparison!" The experts were once again swept up in a frenzy.
...
As Zhou Jue walked through the laboratories, each time he took out something new, it caused a huge stir.
Everyone present, from the top leader to the ordinary researcher, had expressions that went from initial curiosity to shock, then to numbness, and finally only deep awe.
After introducing the laboratory, Zhou Jue also handed over the items he had brought back to the experts.
Zhou Jue took a deep breath, looked solemnly at the leader and Number One, and asked, "Grandpa Zhang, do we have any 'nuclear' related laboratories? Among the things I brought back, there's one related to 'nuclear'."
Their cheerful expressions immediately turned serious.
"Xiao Jue, is the 'core' you're referring to the one I understand?"
"Yes!" Zhou Jue nodded affirmatively.
"Don't take it out yet, it emits radiation."
"Quickly!" Number One reacted instantly, his voice trembling slightly. He immediately ordered his secretary, "Immediately mobilize all nuclear physics experts nationwide at the highest level! Get them here right now! Everyone, sign the highest level of confidentiality agreement!"
"yes!"
Zhou Jue was dumbfounded. They made a decision so quickly? She hadn't even finished speaking...
She scratched her head sheepishly: "Ahem... Grandpa Zhang, the system detected that this 'nuclear' energy stone has 1.5 times the energy of any known nuclear fission on Earth. It's relatively stable, has no radiation pollution, and is highly controllable."
"So there's no need to worry about pollution. As for other aspects, that's unclear and requires further investigation by our researchers."
The two were so excited after hearing this that they remained speechless for a long time. No radiation! No! Radiation! No! Radiation! 1.5 times the kinetic energy, what does that even mean!
Our researchers can now focus entirely on their work without fear of radiation affecting their health!
Many of our country's technologies have far surpassed those of other countries!
We're going to go from importing high-tech technologies to exporting them!
even......
"Hahahaha, Comrade Xiao Jue, I originally thought the 'Special Contribution Award' was already very high, but now I realize it's far from enough. Our country is so fortunate to have you!" Number 1 couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then patted Zhou Jue on the shoulder.
Zhou Jue: !!! Mom, I've made it big! Who's ever seen such a serious-looking leader laugh so loudly?! It's a bit of a contrast!
But... I couldn't help but chuckle out loud, hehehehehe...
"Xiao Jue... I... I really don't know what to say. Grandpa Zhang thanks you on behalf of the country." Chief Zhang tried hard to control himself and not shed tears, but his hands trembled uncontrollably with emotion.
"Hehe, serving the people!"
......φ(゜▽゜*)......
Soon, a team of researchers studying 'nuclear energy' arrived, and everyone gathered in a special laboratory.
Just in case, everyone still put on protective suits.
Zhou Jue didn't speak, but simply stretched out her hand, and a strange mineral, completely black but with a faint shimmering light on its surface, appeared in her palm.
Everyone stared intently at the rock, as if they had stopped breathing.
"No...no pollution?"
An elderly academician, with gray hair and reading glasses, who had dedicated his life to nuclear energy research, spoke in a trembling voice. His body trembled slightly from excessive excitement, and tears welled up in his cloudy eyes.
"It has 1.5 times the energy of nuclear energy, and there's no radiation pollution... My God... My God!"
He suddenly burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
This is more than just a piece of ore; it's the key to an energy revolution! It's a ticket for human civilization to reach the stars!
