Since Warwick released its new phone, it has attracted most of the US's attention. They were misled by false intelligence and launched a massive investigation within their allies.
However, the US's attention was soon drawn to another, more impactful piece of news.
The Chinese government announced that the first controlled nuclear fusion reactor on Earth has been completed and is about to be ignited!
While chips are important, they are not even in the same league as nuclear fusion reactors.
This is a vital national asset. Once nuclear fusion is successfully integrated into the power grid, the endless supply of cheap electricity will benefit countless households!
For the industrial sector, cheap electricity is more attractive than any policy.
That evening, the news was broadcast on China's news program at 7 PM.
"According to our station, China's first commercially available controlled nuclear fusion reactor will officially begin operation at 12:00 tomorrow."
"Our station will send reporters to provide full coverage and bring you the latest news."
The news report was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing a huge uproar.
Just ten minutes later, the news soared to the top of the trending topics list, and the servers of major social media forums went viral due to the overwhelming number of visitors!
This news spread like wildfire across the internet, making this shocking story known to netizens worldwide.
Not long ago, the Americans, who had just recovered from the shock of getting a new Huawei phone, were completely taken aback by this news!
The US and the West have always prided themselves on their advanced technology and strong economic power. The recent release of a new mobile phone by Huawei, which broke through chip sanctions, only made those arrogant Westerners feel like they had been slapped in the face.
So, this announcement of nuclear fusion made them feel like their ancestral graves had been dug up.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many, who are expressing their excitement on social media.
"China is awesome!!!"
"Oh my god, have I traveled to the future?"
"Oh no, how am I going to sleep tonight?!"
"We look forward to a successful ignition tomorrow, and together we will witness the future arriving!"
"666! Humanity has finally mastered the light of the stars!"
"China must have been kissed by God, how come it has made one technological breakthrough after another lately?"
"What about our nuclear fusion? ITER has cost taxpayers so much money, and we haven't even seen a trace of it yet!"
"Are the Chinese just bragging? If even we Americans can't do it, how could they possibly succeed!"
......
And so, amidst the anticipation and skepticism of countless people, time slowly brought us to the morning of the next day.
Ye Chen, as the chief technical engineer of the nuclear fusion reactor project, had arrived here several days ago, accompanied by his nominal assistant and bodyguard, Wang Yuxi.
He has been working at almost full capacity these past few days, having countless discussions and simulations with Liu Bangguo and other researchers to perfect every detail and ensure that everything is foolproof before determining the ignition time.
At 11:00 a.m., escorted by several military vehicles, a Hongqi sedan slowly drove into the Nansha Bay nuclear fusion reactor base.
At this time, the Nansha Bay base has been completely transformed compared to a few months ago. Wide roads and buildings of various shapes stand guard like soldiers around the huge, silver-white hemispherical building in the center.
Looking at the scene before him, the top leader in the car had a look of emotion in his eyes and said to Hua Guoqing beside him, "Old Hua, I really can't believe that a controlled nuclear fusion reactor has achieved a breakthrough in just a few months!"
Hua Guoqing nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I couldn't have imagined this a few months ago either. Thanks to Ye Chen, he's given us quite a few surprises lately!"
"I've never had a chance to meet Ye Chen before, so I'll have to have a good chat with him this time." The top leader's eyes were full of smiles.
"Looking back now, it's fortunate that we were excluded by ITER, otherwise, now that we have made a breakthrough in nuclear fusion, we would still have to share this technology with them!" Hua Guoqing sneered.
"Haha, they're probably regretting it to death now. You should be shrug it off by now," the top leader laughed.
"Of course! I feel so relieved right now. I reckon once we successfully ignite the flare, some people will be kicking themselves!" Hua Guoqing said gleefully, his face beaming with smiles.
"Let's go in and visit the staff." With that, the top leader opened the car door and got out first.
"Sir, should we inform Elder Liu?" As soon as the No. 1 leader got out of the car, Tang Feng from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was waiting outside, immediately stepped forward, saluted, and asked.
"Don't make a sound, we'll go in ourselves." The top leader waved his hand and strode towards the central control room.
Upon entering the central control room, the top leader and Hua Guoqing were greeted by a bustling scene.
"Check the nuclear reactor one last time to ensure everything is perfect." Liu Bangguo stood on the command platform, solemnly directing the staff to conduct the final check.
Ye Chen stood beside him, his eyes also fixed on various data, his mind racing to find any anomalies.
The top leader stopped the staff member beside him from reminding everyone, and stood quietly at the entrance, watching the scene with a smile.
Liu Bangguo and Ye Chen were focused on the screen and didn't notice anything, but the other staff members quickly realized that there was a group of people at the entrance.
"It's the number one leader!"
"Elder Hua is here too!"
Immediately, someone exclaimed in surprise.
His voice drew the attention of everyone in the central control room, and their eyes turned toward the entrance.
Upon seeing the top leader, Liu Bangguo quickly pulled Ye Chen down from the command platform and strode over to him.
"Commander, you didn't even give me advance notice of your arrival so I could greet you!" Liu Bangguo said, his face flushed, giving Tang Feng a reproachful glare.
Standing behind, Tang Feng rolled his eyes. This person in front of him wasn't allowed to give prior notice, so how could he dare to reveal it beforehand?
"I told them not to notify them," the top leader said with a smile, turning his gaze to Ye Chen beside him and extending his hand first, saying, "Young friend Ye Chen, this is our first formal meeting."
"Greetings, Commander!" Ye Chen quickly clasped his hands together. He had no prior knowledge of the arrival of the top leader, and seeing the number one figure in China appear before him, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Old Liu, how confident are you in igniting the fire this time?" After shaking hands with Ye Chen, the top leader looked at Liu Bangguo and asked.
"Don't worry, sir. We've simulated it several times. I can't say for sure, but there's a 99% chance!" Liu Bangguo said with a smile.
"Alright, then you go and take command. Let's welcome the arrival of the new era together!" the top leader said, his tone filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Yes!" Liu Bangguo and Ye Chen responded and turned to walk towards the command platform.
