Chapter 566 Super Energy Crystal

"Aren't you surprised?!" Chen Yu said with a slight smile.

Sarah Brightman nodded and said, "It is indeed surprising. I now suspect that you are just teasing me and that's why you said that on purpose."

"Absolutely not. You know I'm a very busy person. My schedule is very full. There have been a lot of things happening recently. You know that when 2008 came out, a snowstorm plunged China into its first disaster period. Then, the 512 earthquake was a super earthquake that shook the world. I was involved in that one too. Then there was the launch of Longteng Auto and so on. There were so many events that I forgot about the Olympics."

"To be honest, I don't care much about the Olympics anymore, I don't know why!" Chen Yu shook his head slightly and then said.

“I didn’t expect this. I thought that the Olympics, which the world is watching, would be held in China and would receive a lot of attention. I didn’t expect that even you, a Chinese idol, wouldn’t pay attention to it,” Sarah Brightman said softly.

"It's not that I don't pay attention, it's just that I've encountered too many things during this period, and I've become more open-minded about them. Otherwise, there wouldn't be songs like 'Beijing Welcomes You' and 'Me and You'."

"Well, I take back what I just said and apologize to you. But this song, 'You and Me,' is really good as the theme song for the opening ceremony. It doesn't have a grand and majestic style or a grand and sweeping style, but it shines with the brilliance of humanity and affection. In a soothing and warm way, it allows hundreds of millions of viewers to feel the harmonious beauty of the 'global village' as if bathed in moonlight and a gentle breeze."

This is something I really love to see—a harmonious world filled with warmth and humanity. You did it! Sarah Brightman nodded and smiled gently.

"No need to apologize. I'm not a petty person. Besides, you're right. I'm not really paying much attention to the Olympics these days."

After chatting for a while, the two continued practicing.

Chen Yu was extremely familiar with the song "Me and You," but what he didn't expect was that Sarah Brightman was also very familiar with it.

Sarah Brightman's first solo performance was technically flawless, and her emotional expression was quite rich. However, it fell far short of Chen Yu's expectations.

"Fantastic! I believe our collaboration will definitely become a classic!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Really?!" Sarah Brightman didn't act like an international superstar at all; she was more like a little fangirl.

"Of course!" Chen Yu felt quite relaxed talking to this person. He had initially worried about potential communication and interaction issues, but it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

On the third day after the two started working together, Director Zhang came again.

When I saw the two of them working together, I was completely stunned.

"I'm speechless. The collaboration between the queen and the genius is truly astounding. Who would have thought you two could work together so well in just three days! Now I'm completely relieved. Chen Yu, I have an idea. How about you light the torch on the last day?!" Director Zhang said with a smile.

"Light the fire?!" Chen Yu was stunned. Wasn't that what gymnastics prince Li Ning did?! How could it be his turn!

"Yes, it's the final ignition. I hope you can do this!" Director Zhang nodded, looking at Chen Yu with anticipation.

"Forget it, you've already arranged for someone to light the fire. What would I do there? Steal their jobs?! They'd curse me to death! I don't want to cause trouble!" Chen Yu quickly shook his head and refused.

"It wasn't arranged properly. We prepared several plans. Actually, we came to you for the third plan. Based on your physical condition, we plan to have you run quickly and then take off, running around the field once in the air to light the Olympic flame," Director Zhang said with a smile.

"No way, it's too much trouble for me!" Chen Yu quickly shook his head. He knew this all too well. This was the gymnastics prince's routine. He was physically strong, but he also knew that controlling his body to run through the air was extremely physically demanding.

Most importantly, he had never done it before and had no confidence whatsoever.

"Chen Yu, new mission!" Xiao You's voice came as soon as he finished speaking.

"A new mission, don't tell me it's about the ignition ceremony?!" Chen Yu had an instinctive feeling that this mission was definitely related to the ignition ceremony they were talking about!

"That's right, it's about the lighting ceremony. The mission is to ignite the Olympic flame: using a design by Director Zhang, the chief director of the 2008 Kyoto Olympics, to run at high speed and then take off, running around the stadium once to ignite the flame."

The reward for completing the mission is one Super Energy Crystal; failure will result in a deduction of 1 million fan points and a random reduction in one of the host's skills by one level!

Upon hearing this task, Chen Yu felt a deep sense of unease. Failure would result in the deduction of 1 million fan points and a random reduction in the host's skill level!

The reward for successfully completing the mission is just one Super Energy Crystal. Trading one for two is such a bad deal! And most importantly, he doesn't even know what this Super Energy Crystal can do!

"What is this super energy crystal, and what can it do?!" Chen Yu asked.

"The super energy crystal is the size of a fist, and it stores 100000 TWh of electricity, which is 100 megawatt-hours," Xiaoyou explained.

Chen Yu felt terrible after hearing the whole thing.

100 megawatt-hours.

"兆" is an International System of Units prefix. In the context of modern Chinese, "兆" has two different interpretations: one is one million, which is 10^6, and the other is one trillion, which is 10^12.

Xiaoyou just mentioned that there is a 100000 Twh before 100 megawatt-hours. Although I don't know what Twh means, it definitely doesn't mean 1000. So we can understand it as megawatt-hours, which is 1 trillion.

100 trillion kilowatt-hours, that's insane!

Chen Yu quickly checked the total power generation in 2007, which was only 19955.3 TWh.

Condensed within a fist-sized crystal, the sheer beauty of its explosion is beyond Chen Yu's comprehension.

"Xiao You, do you think this planet can still exist if my super energy crystal explodes?!" Chen Yu was getting a little uneasy.

Xiao You rolled her eyes and said irritably, "What do you think?!"

"I think we're probably doomed. After a simple calculation, the energy contained in this super energy crystal is equivalent to 10 billion tons of TNT. If it explodes, the energy produced will be even more incredible. I estimate that this Earth will be completely finished," Chen Yu said with lingering fear.

The Hiroshima bombing used 50 kg of U-235. The explosive yield was 1.25 tons of TNT. If 10 Hiroshimas were dropped on Earth, the Earth would be doomed!
