The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 298 Academician Xiao

A few more weeks passed.

The American people elected their new president, and unsurprisingly, this new president is from the Democratic Party, and with his help, the party of the current president ultimately lost the election.

However, the president did not express anger or regret, but only said: "Congratulations to the American people for electing the leader they wanted."

It sounds sarcastic, but not many people can tell what the president is thinking.

Just as people have commented, after so many years of political career, the President has shed his former businessman mindset and turned into a true politician.

But now, the politician finds that his twelve-year political career has not fully achieved what he most wanted to achieve, which is to solve the deep-seated government problems he once talked about.

Now he has given up this goal.

Of course, the president did not completely ignore the matter afterwards. After all, he still had about two months in office, and during this time, he had to deal with a lot of people.

For example, the current head of the JNEO organization, Steven Cawley.

He was the one who appointed Steven Cowley, but some time ago it was discovered that this guy actually spent the money he gave to JNEO for nuclear fusion research to support the Democratic Party. He even didn't know what means he used to make one vote in Utah, which was originally theirs, defect. Although it was only one vote, Utah only had five votes in total.

In this election, they were only behind by 2 votes, so this vote was particularly conspicuous.

As a result, Cawley was removed from the position of chairman of the JNEO organization. Although this was what he had always dreamed of, the slight difference was that he was taken away directly by the FBI for investigation.

Of course, he was not very timid at the beginning. After all, he had already prepared for this matter. The Democratic Party had promised him that he would be released after the new president took office. After all, he could be considered to have followed the dragon.

As a result, the current president made a harsh statement that he would never be released and that he would be sentenced without parole.

He immediately regretted his decision and realized that as a scientist, he would never end up well if he got involved in such things.

Of course, although the main reason for his arrest was that he was involved in this kind of thing, it still had a great impact on the JNEO organization.

JNEO has been in operation for more than a year. Although there is still a long way to go before it can truly achieve nuclear fusion, it cannot be said that there have been no achievements.

As the chairman of the board, Cawley has also done a lot of practical work.

But now that he has been arrested, the person who knew JNEO best is gone, and the successor is forced to take the position in a very confused manner. Although the person who took over as chairman was the previous vice chairman, this vice chairman was in charge of administration and knew very little about science. Obviously, other scientists in the JNEO organization would not be convinced by the new chairman.

For a while, the JNEO organization was shut down and could no longer be maintained.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The Americans were the first to start cursing. Wouldn't this be equivalent to completely destroying their chances of developing controlled nuclear fusion in the future?

The Europeans were also unhappy. They said, "Brothers, we have invested money and built the venue at your place, and you are doing this kind of thing?"

That's a matter of tens of billions!

Of course, the President also has something to say at this time. The JNEO organization has invested the most money, not to mention that only more than a year has passed, and all of that money may not have been received. It would be a lot if tens of millions of it was related to these countries. The people in these countries are shouting as if all their money has been cheated out of them.

As a result, these countries started arguing about this matter, and it became a very interesting gossip for a while, attracting people from other countries who were watching the show to watch with great interest.

UP hosts on various video platforms in China also summarized this incident, causing a lot of jokes.

It was just like when Lao Chang used the money given by Truman to support Dewey, which became a joke among many netizens.

Of course, afterwards, the president-elect stood up and told everyone not to worry, these issues would be resolved when he took office, and the JNEO organization would continue.

Subsequently, some media came out to say that the outgoing president is just performing the traditional skill of every president before leaving office, especially when the next president is from the opposing party, which is to disrupt the next president and leave a mess.

It's just that the mess left behind this time seems a little bit bigger. So many countries have been offended at once. Although the amount may not be hundreds of millions, tens of millions of funds are not a small amount. It will definitely not be a small matter in diplomacy at that time.

In addition to the issue of money, the most important issue is the technology of nuclear fusion.

Over the past long period of time, as more and more nuclear fusion reactors have been built in China, related news has frequently appeared in the news of other countries, causing countless citizens of other countries to express dissatisfaction with their governments. Why can't they use nuclear fusion until now? Look at how long China has enjoyed it? !

Of course, some seemingly neutral countries have also been in private contact with China, expressing their hope to invite Chinese engineers to build nuclear fusion reactors in their countries.

For example, the countries in the Middle East, some countries in Southeast Asia, our neighbors to the north, and some small countries in the southwest.

However, no matter how high the price these countries offered, China rejected them all.

In a nutshell, for at least five years, other countries will not be able to obtain any technology related to nuclear fusion.

Not even giving money.

It will take five years for China to start considering the possibility of selling nuclear fusion reactors to other countries, but the technology will definitely not be sold.

As long as China's technology is not leaked out, it will take foreign countries fifty years to achieve nuclear fusion, and this will not change.

But obviously, the possibility of technology leakage is too low and it basically will not happen.

Of course, for this reason, if other countries want to obtain nuclear fusion technology, they can only pin their hopes on the JNEO program.

That is why the impact of Steven Cawley's dismissal was so great.

However, as time went by, Chinese netizens may have initially viewed it as a joke, but gradually, their attention was not as high.

Just laugh when you hear it occasionally. Instead of paying attention to this matter, you might as well pay attention to how far the nuclear fusion reactors under construction in the country have been built, when you can actually use the electricity generated by nuclear fusion, and when the electricity price can be completely reduced.

No matter how big the international affairs are, the people's livelihood around us is the most important.

Of course, perhaps because the country heard the voices of many ordinary people, or perhaps because it believed that the time had come to make changes based on cost budgeting and control plans, the country officially introduced the Interim Measures for Adjusting National Electricity Prices.

The national average electricity price will be lowered to 1 cent per kilowatt-hour.

Then the actual electricity price will be adjusted according to the actual situation in each place, which naturally depends on the electricity consumption and the nature of electricity consumption in each place.

As soon as this announcement came out, there was a wave of enthusiasm across the country, and it was extremely lively.

For example, the hot search on Weibo was immediately dominated by the popularity of this news. Netizens from all walks of life enthusiastically expressed their opinions.

[Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I woke up and found out something so big actually happened? Oh my god, this is so fucking awesome!]

[Invincible! Electricity costs only one cent per kilowatt-hour. My mother no longer has to worry about me not having enough money to pay the air conditioning bill in the summer! ]

[It's okay, the landlord in Pengcheng will still charge you 1.5 kWh of electricity. ]

[Damn it, I reported him. He is trying to take advantage of the country, right?]

[And everyone should note that this is only a temporary measure, which means it will be changed in the future. According to various news, it is very likely that in the future, it will be completely free for users who use a certain amount of electricity, and will start to charge users after exceeding a certain amount of electricity. The free quota should be the normal monthly electricity consumption of a family. In other words, household electricity may be completely free in the future! ]

[Is it possible that electricity will be free in the future? I guess I need to live longer so that I can use more free electricity.]

[Good fellow, what you said does make sense. It seems that I have to pay attention to my health starting tomorrow. Otherwise, if I use less free electricity than others for a year, wouldn’t it be a loss? ]

[It’s finally going to be officially reduced. To be honest, our electricity bill has already dropped to 1 cents. If it drops to 5 cent now, it’s equivalent to a -fold reduction. Awesome!]

[I guess the government has been calculating the cost before, and now it has finally determined that one cent is the lowest affordable cost price. ]

[If Xiao Shen were to calculate this kind of thing, wouldn't it be faster? ]

[Good fellow, asking Xiao Shen to study nuclear fusion, and also asking Xiao Shen to calculate the price of nuclear fusion after it is developed, even a donkey should be ordered around like this. ]

[Perhaps this is what is called "the more capable, the more work you do."]

[No more words, God Xiao is awesome! ]

【Xiao Shen is awesome! 】

Below is a bunch of awesome Xiao Shens.

Anyway, nowadays, under any news related to nuclear fusion, there will basically be netizens commenting "God Xiao is awesome". After all, everyone knows that nuclear fusion was developed by their God Xiao.

All in all, the Chinese people are celebrating, and this electricity price plan will be implemented from next month, October 1st, which happens to be the National Day. This can be regarded as a National Day gift to the people of the whole country.

However, when China was celebrating, people abroad were upset.

[What? Electricity costs only 0.21 yen per kilowatt-hour? How is that possible? How did they do it? ]

[14 kilowatts of electricity for only cents? How is this possible?! ]

[I want to go to China. The electricity is so cheap. This is the power of nuclear fusion! ]

[Oh my god, according to the news from China, they may even cancel the electricity charges for household electricity in the future, making household electricity completely free! ]

[This is truly advanced civilization! In contrast, our electricity bills are simply robbing us! Even worse than buying for free! ]

[What's this? You will be taught a lesson when you encounter a snowstorm. You will also be taught a lesson by your mayor.]

[I want to go to China, does anyone have a way? ]

[China is the country in the world where it is most difficult to issue green cards to foreigners, so you should stop dreaming. ]

[What about illegal immigration? Can we enter through their border? ]

[Haha, you are a foreigner who can't speak Chinese and you want to walk in a country full of Asian faces, and you are an illegal immigrant? By then, you will be like a guy covered in fluorescent liquid who seems to glow wherever he goes. ]

[Fuck! Why haven't our scientists developed nuclear fusion yet? What is our government doing? Is this how they treat us taxpayers?]

[Is it possible that it is not because they treat us taxpayers like this, but simply because of their stupidity that they are completely unable to research controlled nuclear fusion? ]

[I am a member of the JNEO organization. I think what you said is really too much. We have been working hard on research, but nuclear fusion is not something that can be easily researched. I hope you can understand this point, instead of being sarcastic here like you are now. If you can do it, go ahead. If you can't do it, don't talk nonsense here.]

This person named JNEO who suddenly appeared immediately became a venting point for many foreign netizens. The people of those countries who had invested money in JNEO began to criticize him on the spot.

[No, you are just stupid, so stupid that even with so many of you, you can't even beat one person. Researching nuclear fusion is your responsibility, not ours, and now you have completely failed to achieve this goal.]

[You are trash! Absolute trash! Do you understand? The meals you eat and the treatment you enjoy at JNEO all include the taxes I pay, but you haven't made any research progress so far, so go eat shit! ]

【…】

As a result, the incident of the JNEO organization's suspension, which had been going on abroad, started to stir up trouble again because of this incident. In the end, the JNEO member who showed up had no choice but to close all private message channels and hide completely.

This also made foreign politicians very angry about China's actions.

Although it is difficult to say whether China's announcement at this time was intentional or accidental, it is more or less an open conspiracy anyway.

An open and aboveboard conspiracy.

After all, who made it so that only China has this technology now?

……

However, no matter how the whole world reacts to this matter, it is no longer something Xiao Yi cares about.

During this period of time, he took a good vacation again, perhaps because the previous few breaks gave him a good experience.

Of course, sometimes he also found that when he gave himself a break and started thinking about the problem again, he could often get some completely different inspiration.

Perhaps he was able to solve the Riemann hypothesis partly because the previous rest gave him a different experience.

And so, time came to the second half of November.

The election of new academicians for the new year has been completed, and his name is prominently listed in the list of academicians of the two academies.

In other words, he can now be called Academician Xiao.
