With the topic finalized, the 686 Institute of Advanced Technology began secret preparations. Immediately thereafter, almost all of the above-mentioned annual leave was urgently canceled. Before the new year even began, discussions about the restructuring of power resources, adjustments to energy strategic deployment, and plans for the next three to five years began to swirl.
The breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology has directly given China a first-mover advantage in entering the next stage, giving it a head start of at least 20 to 30 years. They must seize this opportunity. How to respond to the international situation and how to deploy domestic strategic development are currently urgent matters.
Although they had made certain contingency plans in advance, Mr. Wu's speed and the need to respond in real time to the actual situation required them to be fully prepared when the successful ignition of the controlled nuclear fusion project was announced to the world.
Having gained the upper hand, they must seize this opportunity and use it to help the domestic market take off! Of course, these trivial matters are the responsibility of the beneficiaries, and there is no need to trouble Mr. Wu with these trivial matters.
Their gratitude and respect for Ms. Wu have turned into full support for her, providing her with the best research environment that she likes, and giving sufficient attention and support to Ms. Wu's research and development!
"Boss Wu, you're back? Why didn't you stay home a few more days?" As soon as Wu Tong landed at the base, Academicians He and Wan, having received the news from the control tower, hurried over. After Wu Tong's departure, the two had temporarily taken over management of the base.
"Academician He, Academician Wan, happy new year! How's the project been going these past two days? Is everything going smoothly?" Wu Tong asked with a smile. "Get the project done sooner, and we can all declare it completed sooner!"
"Everything went smoothly with the data collection, and the core performance is excellent. Mr. Wu, you should have more confidence in your own research and development!" The project went smoothly, and Academician Wan, who was usually serious, has now learned to joke.
The two were simply delighted by Wu Tong's early return. Mr. Wu was their backbone, and their early return instantly gave them a sense of peace of mind. Even when Mr. Wu was away, they continued to analyze R&D data according to his habits and procedures, but without him, they felt a sense of trepidation.
They are veterans in the project and have always been in charge of major projects. However, they have never had such a dependent mentality before, and they rely on a young scholar who is only in his twenties. This would have made them ashamed before, but at this moment, it is the most normal thing for a controlled nuclear fusion engineer.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Wu!" Being able to personally express New Year's greetings to Mr. Wu at the start of the new year is a testament to his commitment to the entire project. "Yesterday, when the preliminary project data was compiled, we gave the entire base's R&D staff a half-day break!"
After all, it was the Spring Festival, the most important holiday in China. If it weren't for the sheer importance of the controlled nuclear fusion project, they'd all agreed to take some time off for the New Year's Eve celebration. However, everyone on the project team, from top to bottom, would have preferred to be a witness to the birth of such an exciting historical miracle.

Data on controlled nuclear fusion has entered statistical compilation, and grid connection projects have begun in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Since the Jinwu stellarator achieved a qualitative breakthrough, the Jinwu demonstration reactor project has been finalized and is already under research and planning. With the Jinwu demonstration reactor's unexpectedly rapid success, this accompanying plan will significantly accelerate its implementation!
The power grid connection in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will be the foundation of China's overall power reform and even serve as a model for future power reforms in neighboring countries and regions. Therefore, thorough considerations must be taken into account during the design process. In the future, China will undoubtedly rely on electricity and fusion energy as its primary energy sources. Fuel properties will be removed from civilian petroleum products, significantly reducing domestic demand for crude oil imports.
In the past, China's annual consumption of foreign exchange reserves on energy imports was alarming, earning it the title of a major energy importer. This title, in contrast to today's situation, has left many on high alert, seeking every possible way to address this high dependence on imports, which was subject to international checks and balances. Now, they have finally had an opportunity to change.
Funding for international energy is shrinking significantly, while domestic coal-polluting industries are being dealt with across the board. The previous boom in coal, fueled by the black gold of coal, is now a thing of the past. Unsurprisingly, the directive to cut capacity at highly polluting coal companies has ushered in a harsh winter for the entire industry.
Although this decision will undoubtedly and certainly face economic and financial problems in several major coal-producing provinces and the resettlement of laid-off workers in state-owned coal enterprises... these pains in reform are indispensable and cannot become obstacles to major domestic changes.
While the traditional coal energy sector is facing a cold winter, domestic power grid companies and electric power companies are enjoying a spring of prosperity. While the tasks assigned to them are daunting, such as planning domestic power grid connections, optimizing the merger of domestic power grids and electric power companies, and specifying plans for adjusting the installed capacity of fusion reactor generators and residential electricity consumption, it can be said that they are experiencing both pain and joy.
In addition, the central idea has been established in the deployment meeting that has been launched recently. Within two years, 100,000 charging piles will be deployed across the country. Within one year, all service stations along the country's highways, depending on their size, will be equipped with 6-10 fast charging piles. This plan will thoroughly lay the foundation for the popularization of new energy electric vehicles. The withdrawal of domestic fuel vehicles from the market has become an established fact.
Imported gasoline-powered vehicles, once reaping countless benefits from the Chinese market, are now facing the threat of closure and withdrawal from domestic competition. This may seem like a cruel, winner-takes-all situation. However, looking back at history, we can see how difficult it was for domestic automakers to rise to prominence when these brands entered the Chinese market.
The New Energy Vehicle Summit announced that foreign-invested, joint venture, and domestic brands will be given priority in the supply of new energy batteries over fully domestic brands. Joint ventures and foreign-invested companies will be temporarily sidelined, and even if they continue to supply, they will have to pay higher prices than domestic brands.
In the past, they often did not have the right to speak in industry formulation, but now, they have finally grasped it in their hands and have absolute power to formulate industry rules!
