Chapter 300: Encouragement
"What Lao Luo said does make sense."

Hearing Luo Bangrong's words, Lin Jingxi next to him immediately smiled and clapped his hands, expressing his full agreement.

Then he also said to Xiao Yi: "Indeed, when you first developed nuclear fusion, although we did have to work overtime, we were also very happy. We thought that we would have a killer weapon in the economic field in the future. It would be like commanding the whole world and no one would dare to disobey you."

As he said this he started laughing again.

For them, nuclear fusion is indeed a super killer in the economic field. Energy is the economy, and nuclear fusion is the creator of the economy.

Now they can easily create the world's largest wealth with the cheap energy of nuclear fusion, and then use it to make the rules.

And to be honest, they have already started planning for the rules.

Listening to their words, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I have achieved some of my original goals."

After all, his original purpose in studying nuclear fusion was not only to find out whether nuclear fusion technology could appear on Earth and whether humans could develop this technology, but also to help the country become stronger.

And as he said before, scientific and technological achievements such as nuclear fusion create productivity, while social sciences apply productivity. Their ultimate goal is to develop the economy.

In this world where economy is more important than anything else, the ultimate goal of any force in the world is for the economy, whether it is to develop the economy or to protect the economy.

In the past, the Americans relied on oil to possess a powerful economic weapon.

And now, nuclear fusion can also become such a super killer weapon.

Therefore, for people like Luo Bangrong who are engaged in economics, although nuclear fusion technology caused them considerable trouble when it first came out, afterwards, they began to fully enjoy the convenience that this new technology brought to them in policy making.

To put it simply, you don’t even know how you lost.

"Of course, Academician Xiao, I have another thing. I like you, but I hate you."

At this time, Luo Bangrong suddenly said again.

Lin Jingxi, who was standing next to him, was stunned again when he heard this.

Apart from what happened just now, what else is happening now?

Then he heard Luo Bangrong say, "Luo Mingya is my granddaughter. When will things between you and her be settled?"

"what?"

Lin Jingxi was stunned. "Lao Luo, what do you mean by that? What happened to your granddaughter?"

Luo Bangrong raised his eyebrows and said, "My granddaughter is the girlfriend of our Academician Xiao."

"Ah?!" Lin Jingxi suddenly became even more unbelievable. He looked at Luo Bangrong in shock and said, "No, you old ghost Luo, I have never heard you talk about this kind of thing before. You old thing, you hid it so deeply? You have never told us before!"

Luo Bangrong just laughed and said, "Hey, what's there to say about this kind of thing? After all, we haven't even started yet. We still have to wait for Academician Xiao to set a date for the official wedding with my granddaughter."

Then he looked at Xiao Yi and said, "Academician Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Yi didn't expect that the Luo Bangrong in front of him was Luo Mingya's grandfather.

In his previous interactions with Luo Mingya, he rarely talked about family matters.

For some couples, family may become an important factor affecting their relationship, so understanding each other's family situation becomes a very important thing, but for them, there is no such problem.

They all have confidence that family will not stand in the way.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that they share a common concept.

That is, love is a matter between two people, they only need to be responsible for each other, not for anyone else, so how they can live together is the most important thing, and all other things, other people's opinions, etc., cannot affect their own thoughts.

That's it.

So Xiao Yi didn't recognize Luo Bangrong in front of him.

"It's Grandpa Luo." He said with a smile: "As for when this matter you mentioned will be settled, there is probably no news yet."

"But the key point is when Mingya and I really think about it."

Luo Bangrong opened his mouth, and finally sighed and said, "Well, you and Mingya seem to have the same personality, even the answer is so similar."

"I won't say much about the rest. If it was any other young person, I would be able to teach him a few words based on my age and status, but since you are Chief Engineer Xiao, Academician Xiao, I don't have much to say."

"However, I still want to mention one thing at the end. My granddaughter is already 28 this year. I hope you can consider this and not put it off for too long."

Xiao Yi nodded: "I will."

Luo Bangrong nodded and said no more.

But Lin Jingxi, who witnessed everything, had something to say at this time.

"Academician Xiao, look, I also have a granddaughter, would you like to consider it?"

Luo Bangrong next to him was not anxious at all, and said calmly: "Old man Lin, don't think too much. My granddaughter is not only beautiful, but also a genius. She entered the junior class of USTC when she was thirteen or fourteen years old. Now she is only 28 years old, and has published many top papers, such as Nature, Science, and JACS. As for Old Man Lin, I remember your granddaughter... Forget it, I won't say anything, lest you break your defense later. Anyway, don't bother Academician Xiao."

"You... Old Ghost Luo, I'm going to fight you..."

In the end, Lin Jingxi's defense was broken.

Xiao Yi, who was standing next to him, shrugged as he watched the two old men fighting in front of him.

As for it?
Finally, the staff nearby pulled the two apart. Both of them were considered to be the leading figures in the field of economics in China, and fighting was not an option.

……

Time passed quickly.

All the people who were going to attend the meeting were present, and the time for the meeting to officially begin soon arrived.

Then the old leader arrived and began to welcome everyone present.

At the same time, he also shook hands with some key people present, including Xiao Yi.

Then the meeting officially began.

The old leader basically only takes on the role of hosting, and at the same time tells and answers what can be done, what cannot be done, and what must be done.

The rest of the time, it’s basically just a discussion among those present.

And so, eventually they got to talking about nuclear fusion.

"There is no doubt that controlled nuclear fusion technology is indeed a huge variable in our long-term development process, but the good thing is that it is a good variable."

"But precisely because it is so good, we need to be more cautious in treating such technology. We need to be comprehensive and careful enough to use its advantages to create more benefits for us, so that we can board the express train called Level 1.0 civilization and truly achieve our ultimate prosperity." "Of course, we have already had a lot of discussions on how to use this technology, and have already made a lot of plans. So this time I mainly want to put forward three other points that we need to pay attention to, and these three points are more about benefiting people's livelihood."

"First, the complete popularization of electricity. Although we are already a country with a large amount of electricity, there are still many places where electricity is not fully popularized. In the poorest areas, there are still places without electricity. As a civilized country, if we want to be more civilized, we must also take care of all aspects. I think the barrel principle is also applicable in judging whether a civilization is civilized enough..."

The speaker was an expert who paid more attention to poverty and people's livelihood issues. He expressed his own views and then listed three related suggestions.

This includes but is not limited to popularizing electricity to all places where electricity has not yet been fully built, and adopting greater electricity discounts for those poor areas. For example, lowering the electricity price in poor areas to 0.5 cents, or even 0.1 cents, including industrial and commercial electricity. As long as the electricity prices in poor areas become more favorable, they will surely attract more investment.

Therefore, this method can be regarded as a very good means to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.

By then, in economically developed areas, industrial and commercial electricity may cost 7 or 8 cents or around 1 or 2 cents, while the price in poor areas may be similar to that of household electricity, with an average price of around 1 cent.

Of course, in fact, such means have been used for a long time, and the reason why the effect is not very obvious is mainly because under the previous power generation method, even if the electricity prices were regulated, the difference between them was basically difficult to reach two or even three times. After all, in the past, it was impossible to make those developed regions stop making money in order to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. This is obviously impossible.

But now it can be done, and the gap in electricity prices between the two can be increased to seven or eight times, or even ten or twenty times, without any worries.

Moreover, even though the gap is so large, the electricity prices in those developed areas are much cheaper than before, which does not affect the development of these developed areas at all.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Of course, another problem arises at this time.

If a large number of factories start to be built in those poor areas, it may lead to worsening pollution in these poor areas.

But for now, there is no need to worry too much about this. By the same token, it will be very easy to use the money saved on electricity bills to deal with these industrial pollution.

For many factories, electricity has always been one of the most important costs. Now that they have saved so much on this item, they will be able to free up some funds to deal with pollution problems to a large extent.

Including treating industrial pollution, which may require a large amount of electricity, and now the electricity needed for this can be saved.

In addition, some industrial pollution treatment may require the use of chemical reagents, and the prices of these chemical reagents may be quite expensive. Of course, this high cost is only a problem in the past. In the production process of these chemical reagents, in addition to raw materials, electricity costs often account for a large proportion, so this part can also be saved.

If we continue to trace the source, even to the mining of raw materials, we can save a lot of electricity bills.

Of course, such processes actually exist in any other industrial field.

Therefore, the impact brought by nuclear fusion covers all industries in the entire industrial chain from upstream to downstream. The reduction in upstream costs will lead to a reduction in the cost of purchasing upstream products for downstream industries. Then, in the process of continued production, the downstream industries can further reduce costs due to the reduction in electricity prices.

By the time the final product appears in front of consumers, it is a completely high-quality and low-priced product.

In this way, many experts present were discussing enthusiastically, and everyone's face was full of excitement.

After all, the cards they hold now are enough to ensure they can win no matter how they play them.

Nuclear fusion is like a leopard. You can combine it with other cards however you want. And what's more, the other cards China currently holds are also good. Now that it has the leopard, it can take off easily.

In this way, the experts present became more and more excited in their conversation. In their eyes, China's future now seemed to have great potential.

They even seemed to have already seen it. Twenty years later, when the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China comes, they will be able to see what kind of miracle China has created.

As for Xiao Yi, he was watching from the side with a slight smile on his face, watching their discussion.

After all, he is not a professional, so he doesn't say too much.

Such professional matters should be left to professionals. At least the economic experts who can come to this meeting have a better understanding of the country's economy and other aspects than he does.

However, in the end, he could not escape being singled out.

The old leader sitting in the front row saw that the father of nuclear fusion did not express any opinion on the topic of nuclear fusion, so he raised the microphone in front of him and said, "Academician Xiao, you have developed nuclear fusion, now you should also talk about your ideas."

The experts around him also laughed, and then said to Xiao Yi: "Indeed, Academician Xiao, the father of nuclear fusion, you have to publish something."

"We all want to know what Academician Xiao thinks."

"yes……"

Faced with these instigating words, Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly.

Then he sat up straight, pulled the microphone in front of him, and said, "Since everyone asked me to say a few words, I will say a few words."

"Of course, to be honest, everyone here has already said enough about how to take advantage of nuclear fusion. Whatever I really want to say, it probably won't be as specific as what you have said."

"After all, if you don't investigate, you have no right to speak. I haven't conducted any investigation in this regard."

"However, what I can say is that in the future I will develop more technologies to help everyone here so that they can have more good cards to play."

When Xiao Yi heard these words, many people present immediately applauded.

"it is good!"

"With a scientist like Academician Xiao, we will surely take off!"

"Haha, Academician Xiao, I have a suggestion. It is said that if we encounter any problems in scientific research, we can just find Academician Xiao. Then can we reserve a place? What technology do we need next, and then trouble Academician Xiao to develop it. If it can be researched, then no matter what problems we encounter at that time, with you here, we don't have to worry!"

When the others heard this, they started to make a fuss again.

"That's a good idea!"

"Academician Xiao, it's up to you!"

Finally, the old leader said unhappily: "You don't think this is too much, do you? No researcher would dare to make such a request as you do."

Then he said to Xiao Yi: "Don't listen to their requests. They are just a bunch of people who don't understand scientific research and talk nonsense."

Xiao Yi smiled helplessly, and then said: "It's not impossible, actually. As long as the technology is not too outrageous and it interests me, I can accept it. Of course, I can't guarantee that I can accept it, and even if I accept it, I can't guarantee that I can complete it."

When he said this, all the experts in the audience cheered immediately.

"it is good!"

"Academician Xiao is Academician Xiao!"

The old leader also shook his head helplessly, but then said to Xiao Yi: "Okay! Since you have this confidence, I also promise that when you are conducting these project research, the country will provide you with all the help."

Xiao Yi nodded.

"Well, that's all I have to say."

"Finally, I have to say that I have always believed that China will be able to create more miracles of civilization in the future."

"Of course, please encourage each other."
