Break out of the courtyard

When Mr. Hua heard that Zhang Heping was willing to add people, he happily pulled Zhang Heping and said, "Now is the best day. Write me another list and I will arrange for someone to communicate this afternoon."

Zhang Heping glanced at the watch on his left hand, nodded helplessly, and sat back behind the big desk.

Veteran Zhang Heping saw the watch clearly and consoled him: "Don't worry, the Zhuhai nuclear power plant has been in trial operation for so long, there must be no problem!"

Zhang Heping said "hmm" casually, picked up the pen and started writing.

Zhuhai Thorium-based Molten Salt Reactor Nuclear Power Plant invited Zhang Heping to inspect and accept the project. After the inspection and acceptance, it will be officially put into operation. Therefore, Zhang Heping is needed to supervise it to avoid subsequent problems that may affect the construction of other nuclear power plants.

Seeing Zhang Heping writing very quickly, Mr. Hua couldn't help but ask again: "Heping, do you think we should add a nuclear power major?"

"Can we get the person?" Zhang Heping stopped writing and looked at Mr. Hua.

In fact, in addition to mainland policies, what restricts Zhang Heping's development is the key issue of lack of "people"!
"It wasn't possible before, but it's different now!" Mr. Hua said with a smile, "Besides, there is a controlled nuclear fusion device under construction on the Dapeng Peninsula."

Zhang Heping nodded slightly, then picked up the pen and wrote down a person's name and the unit they belonged to.

When Zhang Heping stopped writing again, he handed the notebook with hundreds of names copied on it directly to Mr. Hua.

"After the Zhuhai nuclear power plant is successfully accepted, the nuclear power plants in Yangjiang, Wucheng, and Shanghai will also ask me to go there. The nuclear power plant in Fuzhou will also be put into trial operation soon." Zhang Heping said to Mr. Hua who was walking out with him:
"Those students' summer internships, as well as the new majors and courses for next semester, can only be arranged by you, the old people."

"In addition, I will find time to send the relevant teaching materials to your email."

Mr. Hua smiled and agreed, "Don't worry about the trivial matters in school!"

The two of them communicated for a few more words, and Zhang Heping took a car downstairs and left the school.

With the successful acceptance of the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant in Zhuhai and its official supply of power to the Guangdong Province, Hong Kong and Macao power grids, Shenzhen's nighttime industrial power supply has improved, but it is still not enough.

Therefore, Zhang Heping was invited to the Yangjiang Thorium-based Molten Salt Reactor Nuclear Power Plant.

Once the Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station passes the initial acceptance, it can start trial operation and join the Guangdong power grid power supply sequence.

By then, the output of factories such as the Heping Optical Card Factory, Heping Precision Instrument Factory, and Heping Materials Factory will be able to be increased.

Next, are the nuclear power plants in Wucheng and Modu.

The power supply in Shanghai is relatively sufficient. After all, it is a major taxpayer in the country, and no one dares to restrict electricity consumption there.

Although there are many hydropower and thermal power stations around Wucheng, the Heping Diamond Factory, Heping Battery Factory and Heping Display Factory are all big electricity consumers, and power outages are not allowed during production, otherwise high-value raw materials will be lost.

Otherwise, why would Zhang Heping invest in building two nuclear power plants here?

On the afternoon of June 6, Zhang Heping flew to Wucheng Tianhe Airport with Huang Wenli and two bodyguards.

As soon as they got off the plane, they saw Huang Xuemin and a group of people standing next to a bus, holding a banner to welcome Zhang Heping.

With Huang Xuemin's introduction, Zhang Heping had a brief acquaintance with a group of leaders from Beihu and Wucheng, and then got on the bus and left.

The person in charge of Beihu looked at Zhang Heping who was sitting on the left and said with a smile: "We have prepared some Beihu specialties to welcome Consultant Zhang. Would you like to go to the nuclear power plant tomorrow?"

Without waiting for Zhang Heping to answer, Huang Wenli, who was sitting in the row behind Zhang Heping, said, "Uncle Li, we agreed before that the reception meal will be held in the cafeteria over at the nuclear power plant. We can't delay our acceptance work."

"Leader Li, I'm sorry!" Zhang Heping explained, "There are two nuclear power plants in Shanghai waiting for me to go there. Time is a bit tight, so I can just eat in the cafeteria of Wucheng No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant tonight."

"The cafeteria over there is simple, and we are mainly afraid of neglecting Consultant Zhang!" The person in charge of Beihu explained with a smile, and then said: "Since Consultant Zhang and Wen Li insist on eating in the cafeteria of the nuclear power plant, we can only work hard on the dishes and drinks!"

"Uncle Li, we agreed that there will be no alcohol at the reception dinner. If there is any alcohol, you can only drink it yourselves!" Huang Wenli interrupted again.

As the former general manager of Heping Investment Shenzhen Branch and the current deputy general manager of Land, Sea and Air Company, her words still carry some weight, but the people from Beihu have to show their sincerity first, otherwise their welcoming banquet will seem too shabby.

Zhang Heping looked at the slightly embarrassed Beihu director, spread his hands, and explained with a smile: "Sometimes I have to perform surgery. Drinking alcohol can affect my central nervous system, which may cause my hands to tremble and make it difficult for me to hold the scalpel. I hope Leader Li can understand."

"I understand! I understand!" The person in charge of Beihu felt much better after hearing Zhang Heping's explanation, and agreed with a smile:
"Beihu previously sent 20 medical staff to study at Consultant Zhang's Peace Hospital. When they came back, they all praised the consultant's medical skills."

Zhang Heping didn't want to say these meaningless polite words to the other party, so he directly brought the topic to investment. "I came here mainly to inspect the Wucheng No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant, and then go to the No. 2 Nuclear Power Plant to take a look, and then I will go to Shanghai."

"Wen Li, as the deputy general manager of Hong Kong Island Land, Sea and Air Company, is the person in charge of communicating the investment matters of Wucheng Port. If you want to get some wine, you can find her!"

Facing the other people's gazes, Huang Wenli smiled and said, "Uncle Li, Uncle Liu, why are you looking at me?"

"If you want to drink, go drink with my dad and my brother. Or I'll call the company and call all the people from the PR department over to drink with you."

Huang Xuemin laughed and interrupted, "Lao Li, Lao Liu, if you want to drink, I will drink with you next time. Don't bully my daughter!"

The group chatted and laughed as they passed through the city and drove directly to the Wucheng No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant on the outskirts of the north city.

The reason why Beihu welcomed Zhang Heping with such high standards was not only because of Zhang Heping's status as a consultant, but also because of his investment in Wucheng and the recently popular 100-year longevity potion.

Investment is political achievement, while longevity potion is life!
After Zhang Heping finished his work in Wucheng, he flew to the Magic City and received a great welcome.

However, Zhang Heping had to rush back to attend the third Peace Prize Award Ceremony, so he did not stay in Shanghai for long.

Even when it came to his third daughter Zhang Nian, Zhang Heping only took out half a day on the day before leaving to visit the preparatory group of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. At the request of the preparatory group, he simply put forward a few constructive suggestions.

As for the investments in Pudong Airport, Shanghai Port and Ningbo Port, they were all negotiated by the executives of Hailukong Company, and Zhang Heping was not involved at all.

Zhang Heping hurried and finally returned to his home at Shenzhen Peace College on July 7th.

Because the winners of the Peace Prize are updated every year on the World Internet Forum and are subject to public supervision.

If anyone raises an objection to the winner during this period, believing that he or she has committed academic fraud or plagiarized someone's invention or innovation, a short verification period will begin.

Therefore, there is no situation where the winners are announced just before the award ceremony.

In other words, even if Zhang Heping came back a day and a half later, it wouldn't have much impact.

Anyway, he only needs to stand on the stage of the Peace Prize Ceremony, and someone else will take care of the rest.

"Dad, do you still like watching the World Cup?" Zhang Heping dragged two large suitcases into the living room and greeted his father-in-law Tang Ming who was sitting on the sofa watching the game.

"Heping is back!" Tang Ming picked up the crutches beside him and prepared to stand up. Zhang Heping left two large suitcases next to the sofa and pressed his hand towards Tang Ming, "You continue watching TV. I'll go upstairs to take a shower, change clothes and come down."

Tang Ming sat back on the sofa and found a topic to talk about. "Ah Xin and the others are out shopping. Do you need me to call them and ask them to come back?"

"I called them when I got off the plane. They should be back soon." While Zhang Heping was speaking, he was already standing in front of the elevator door.

When Zhang Heping came downstairs after washing up, Mr. Hua, Mr. Li, Mrs. Zheng, Director Wang and others were already sitting on the sofa in Zhang's living room.

"Heping, did you have a smooth trip this time?" Old Mrs. Zheng had no sources of intelligence from Wucheng and Modu, so she asked this question.

People like Mr. Hua and Director Wang had already received the news from the nuclear power plant, so they were still able to remain calm at this time.

"It's going pretty smoothly!" Zhang Heping glanced at the nanny who was preparing teacups, smiled and came to the sofa, and said, "In addition to the three nuclear power plants that have been officially put into operation recently, we should be able to pass acceptance inspection for three more nuclear power plants by the end of the year."

"Can six nuclear power plants be built this year?" Old Mrs. Zheng looked at Old Mr. Hua in surprise.

Old Mrs. Zheng focused her energy mainly on education. When she heard that six nuclear power plants were built in the country at once, she was surprised and delighted.

Mr. Hua nodded to Mrs. Zheng, then smiled and said, "When the people of Magnesium heard that we had built three more thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plants, they clamored to send people to exchange and learn with us."

"Humph!" An old man named Sun, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, said disdainfully, "Those guys from the US don't allow our international students to learn their aerospace technology, so how can they have the nerve to learn our nuclear power plant technology!"

Mr. Li frowned and said, "After Emei declared independence last month and separated from North Sudan, the attitude of the people of Magnesium towards us has subtly changed."

The fact that Emu Country separated from Northern Soviet Union last month refreshed Zhang Heping's memory of his previous life. In his previous life, he had never paid attention to the process of Northern Soviet Union's disintegration. He only knew that it collapsed at the end of 1991.

An old man named Zhou frowned and said, "I have been thinking about the separation of Eguo from Beisu for almost a month, but I still can't figure it out. How can Eguo separate from Beisu? If it separates, how long can Beisu exist?"

"Big Brother Beisu!" An old man named Qin sighed, "Two years ago, who would have believed that it would have come to this point!"

"Peace!" Director Wang said seriously, "You predicted before that Japan, the US and the Soviet Union are at risk of economic collapse!"

"Now, North Sudan is on the brink of collapse, Japan is adjusting its financial market, and what about Magnesium? What is its current situation?"

"I don't know!" Zhang Heping picked up the teacup that the nanny had just brought him and smiled faintly, "I haven't read the newspaper for more than a month, so I don't know much about what's happening abroad."

Director Wang originally wanted Zhang Heping to show his foresight in front of others, but he didn't expect Zhang Heping to refuse.

Mr. Hua changed the subject and asked, "Peace, are foreign journalists allowed to enter the third Peace Prize ceremony?"

"It will be fine as long as the Hong Kong media broadcasts it. Foreign journalists will only cause trouble." Zhang Heping said casually, completely ignoring how fierce the external public opinion was.

Mr. Hua did not want to cause unpleasantness with Zhang Heping over this matter, so he did not mention the external pressure, but instead said: "According to the statistics of the list of winners of the third Peace Prize on the Internet, 89% of the winners have come to Shenzhen."

"Like last year, many foreign winners have expressed their desire to visit the Shenzhen factory invested by the Peace Group. You see..."

Zhang Heping took a sip from the teacup, put it down, and then said slowly, "This year's foreigners all won third prizes. I don't know how many spies are among them thanks to other people's papers. Don't pay attention to them."

Mr. Hua then talked about some things about the Peace Prize Ceremony. No one else could get a word in, and only Zhang Heping asked and answered his questions.

After a while, Tang Xin, Chen Shuting and others came back from shopping, and the old men and women in the living room got up and left, leaving the space for the Zhang family who had reunited after a long separation.

Zhang Heping didn't care about the group of winners who arrived early, but Mr. Hua and his team had to take care of them, especially in terms of safety.

Just when Zhang Heping was reunited with his family, the award winners began to hold small discussions based on their respective fields, which made the police and security guards very alert, fearing that something disharmonious would occur.

The next day, on the 6th, Zhang Heping met with the experts that Mr. Hua had recruited according to the list.

Because two new majors, biological genetics and nuclear power, were to be added, Zhang Heping copied the names of some experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and genetics and gave them to Mr. Hua.

Zhang Heping originally didn't think about recruiting all of them, he just wanted to give it a try and recruit as many as possible.

As a result, to his surprise, all the people on the list he copied were recruited, except for the five who had already died.

Just as Zhang Heping promised these people high salaries, talent apartments and other benefits, and was about to send them to Heping Hospital for a physical examination, a white-haired old man raised his hand and said:

"Principal Zhang, we were promised that we can continue our respective research after coming to your place. I need to confirm this with you. If not, we will apply to return to our original unit."

Zhang Heping nodded and said, "As long as your research project is something I don't have here, I will approve it, and the laboratories, funds, and equipment will all be the best in the world."

"If it is a project we have already studied or are currently studying, we can open up relevant permissions to you as appropriate."

"Teachers, do you have any questions? Feel free to ask now!"

"Principal Zhang!" A white-haired old lady wearing glasses raised her hand and asked, "Will you give us access to your Life 100 potion information?"

Zhang Heping replied sternly, "After you sign the formal contract, I will open a biological gene research laboratory here. Interested teachers can sign up to join. I will then teach you how to make the 100-year life potion."

After he finished speaking, many experts asked questions.

"Principal Zhang, school hasn't started yet. Can we go to the construction site of the controlled nuclear fusion device on Dapeng Peninsula?"

"Principal Zhang, I want to go to the seawater refinery to have a look. Is it possible?"

"Principal Zhang, I heard there are many laboratories underground here. Can we go down and have a look?"

……

It was already 19 p.m. when Zhang Heping had dealt with the various requests from the school's newly recruited experts and professors.

After he finished dinner with his family, he took a walk around the award ceremony venue, and the day passed just like that.

The next day, October 7th.

Because of the third Peace Prize, many journalists from various countries who arrived early gathered at the entrance of Shenzhen Peace Hotel and Peace College.

Unfortunately, this year only reporters and film crews from Shenzhen TV and Hong Kong ATV were allowed to enter the venue, while other reporters and TV stations were refused.

Time quietly came to 13: in the afternoon. The winners from various countries lined up outside the gate of Shenzhen Peace College with their ID cards... (End of this chapter)
