Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

The once empty observation room was now packed with people, all wearing military uniforms with stars on their shoulders.

Everyone stared nervously ahead, while busy white figures moved beside the complex mechanical structure.

Yang Jianguo, wearing protective clothing, was also among these people.

"Young Master, may we begin?"

"All tests are normal, we can begin."

"Then let's begin!" Upon receiving permission, Xiang Shaodong immediately gave the order.

The first ignition experiment of the artificial sun has officially begun.

Upon receiving a response, Xiang Shaodong stood beside him, his hands gripping the railing tightly in front of him.

Looking back at the observation room, he clenched his fists even tighter.

This was originally an internal experiment, but after learning that it was going to be ignited, leaders kept expressing their desire to participate.

I get several calls a day, and they're all calls I can't directly refuse.

In the end, it was Yang Jianguo who stepped in and managed to keep the number of people under 20.

Otherwise, today's experiment would have filled even the corridors with people.

"The equipment is operating normally."

"Ignition device ready normally."

"Data calibration is correct."

"Therefore, the preparatory actions are satisfactory, and ignition can proceed."

Xiang Shaodong took a deep breath and looked at Yang Jianguo beside him.

He nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with determination.

Encouraged by him, Xiang Shaodong suppressed his complicated emotions and said in a deep voice, "Light the fire."

"Ignition, start."

hum~

An invisible wave spread outwards, and Xiang Shaodong felt as if he had been pierced through by a mysterious force.

The next moment, blinding light and electricity lit up the enclosed circular space, blooming and spreading like fireworks.

Chapter 700 A Spark, Four Opportunities for Revolution

Dazzling and magnificent, it evoked awe, much like humanity's first encounter with fire in primitive societies.

The artificial sun ignition experiment was successful.

The highlight lasted only five seconds before being prematurely terminated.

Although it is unknown how many years it will take before this technology is fully mature and widely used.

However, the changes and upheavals brought about by the successful experiment are global in scope.

If humanity can harness the power of stars as an energy source, the entire human society will undergo a radical transformation.

The future of humanity will be completely rewritten.

This is a major event concerning all mankind, as one person commented on the success of the 'artificial sun' in The Times.

What followed was a chain reaction of "saintly" figures from all sides.

Technology that concerns humanity should not be controlled by any one country or institution; it is the common wealth of all humankind.

How to respond is a matter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Our job is to bring the technology to fruition as soon as possible. Talking big is not our job. Everyone should keep their minds focused."

When your mind is in turmoil, you'll find it difficult to achieve even the best results.

"Minister, don't worry, it's not like we're just starting out."

Haven't the Western powers smeared them countless times over the years?

On the surface, the country appears peaceful and prosperous, but behind the scenes, countless disputes and conflicts are taking place.

The cooperation between the research institute and the military and security agencies has been going on for a long time. Outsiders may not understand, but they certainly do.

"Okay, that's good, as long as you understand." Yang Jianguo didn't say anything more.

They're all elderly people; they know what they need to know. If you keep rambling on, the meaning of your words will be distorted.

"Young Master, you have only one task: do a good job on the research and get the experiment to the next stage as soon as possible."

Yang's non-combustible coating and ultra-high strength composite steel are two new materials that are crucial for artificial sun experiments.

Without these two, the experiment would not begin.

"Jianguo, don't worry, when have I ever let you down?"

When it's just the two of them in private, they still address each other as friends.

"I trust you. If I didn't trust you, I would entrust it to you. This is a project of great importance, one that will last for centuries."

The first and second industrial revolutions, the third electronic revolution.

Each time brings about earth-shattering changes, and the distance between countries is widened as a result.

To catch up, or even overtake on a curve.

The electronic revolution presents a great opportunity, but achieving a complete leap forward is virtually impossible.

The current situation is the result of countless people dedicating their lives to it.

They need more opportunities and to wait for the second chance.

Four revolutions, new energy.

Solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, ocean energy, biomass energy, and nuclear energy, etc.

In these new energy sectors, there are always those who are optimistic about them and willing to invest heavily.

Human resources, material resources, and all kinds of resources are continuously being invested in it, all in order to secure a place in the future.

The same applies to inland areas, where massive resources have been invested in wind, solar, hydropower, and geothermal energy in recent years.

However, the area he invested the most in was the 'controlled nuclear fusion' technology, which he was in charge of.

The country has the best talent, the Chinese Academy of Sciences provides strong support, and the Ministry of Industry has a solid foundation.

There is no project with better treatment and stronger support than this.

If there is, it must be something more important than this.

A matter of life and death...

Fortunately, their hard work paid off, and they did not let down the trust and support they received.

The next step is to build a completely new reactor with better high-temperature superconductivity, stronger controllable magnetic field, higher power generation efficiency, and smaller size.

This time, the prototype barely met the standards in order to control costs.

This is why the experiment was terminated after only five seconds.

The risk is too great to continue.

With so many department heads and top leaders present, no one could bear the responsibility if anything went wrong.

After seeing everyone off, Yang Jianguo held a short meeting with his team.

Let's discuss the details of the subsequent experiments with them.

After everything is done, I'll be back at work with a pile of documents waiting to be approved.

"Find out the materials needed for the next experiment first, and I'll approve them."

While his secretary was looking for documents, Yang Jianguo made a phone call to Li Aimin.

"Brother-in-law, what are your orders?"

Enjoying the gentle breeze and cuddling his little girl on the terrace while gazing at the sea view, Li Aimin was living a very comfortable life.

"Did you take care of the task I asked you to do last time?"

"The popularity of forum posts has been reduced, detailed information has been deleted, and without our people leading the discussion in the chat rooms, people have gradually stopped talking about it."

"That's good... Where have you been again? You don't spend more time with your wife and kids."

"Hey, I'm busy acquiring land in the South Island. You have no idea how hot the land is right now."

Yesterday I attended an auction, and even the smallest piece sold for over 100 million.

"You've gone on such a big project, aren't you afraid it will collapse?"

"So what if it crashes? I sold the ones in bad locations when they were at high prices, and kept the ones in good locations."

If it really crashes, I'll just keep it and develop it for my own use later. If I can make a profit, then we'll see.

"Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Yang Jianguo seemed confident when he heard this.

"Hey, it's just money, why make so much? Besides, do you think I'm short of money?"

In just over two years, Li Aimin's net worth has increased dozens of times, and he is now a multi-billionaire.

However, he has kept a low profile over the years, and not many people have heard of him.

They're just insiders in the industry; they know how incredibly powerful and influential he is.

“Zhiyuan is coming back for Chinese New Year this year. Tell Aiguo that he will also be coming back.”

“Great news! Okay, brother-in-law, don’t worry about it, leave it to me.”

Li Aimin readily agreed; he was overjoyed to be able to go home for the New Year.

The elderly are the bond of the family, maintaining the relationship between their children.

Since Dad passed away, they've been getting together less and less, and the feeling of home has faded.

The fact that my brother-in-law invited them to stay at his home for the Chinese New Year shows his goodwill.

This shows that he still cares about this whole family.

Good thing, do something good.

"But brother-in-law, is your trouble over yet? What if the Japanese come back with a surprise attack? You've suppressed all your information, what if they try something underhanded again?"

"Not for now, but in a few years... if you can deal with him once, why can't you deal with him a second time?"

"Okay, as long as you have a good understanding of it."

"That's all, I'll contact you again when I get back."

"okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Fen also put the issue of material approval on the table.

Upon opening it, Yang Jianguo asked in surprise, "Isn't this quantity too much?"

"Tell the team leader that this is already the minimum; any less and we can't guarantee the quality."

Holding the thin sheet of paper, Yang Jianguo remained silent for a few seconds before placing it on the table, picking up a pen, and signing his name.

Chapter 701 If you can't do it, don't do it; ideological awareness

I arrived at work early this morning.

Zhu Hao saw the heads of several subordinate units standing at the entrance, who came over to greet him from afar.

"Secretary Zhu, when is the big boss coming today?"

Zhu Hao raised his wrist, glanced at it, and said, "As usual, we should arrive in fifteen minutes."

Noticing that everyone looked preoccupied, Zhu Hao asked curiously, "Leaders, is there something urgent?"

"Secretary Zhu, the document issued yesterday didn't come from the office, did it?"

Judging from this, it's clear that Loongson has issued another notification.

There are rules about who is responsible for each leader who travels to different places.
