“…four burning horses, the day-to-day battles that carry the fire, are in the air, from east to west, and the morning is late, so that the light shines on World.”

Sitting in the extended car yawning, listening to this sing-like tone, Lu Zhou, who took his eyes off the window, looked at the Minister of Novak sitting next to him.

“what are you saying?”

The hairy haha ​​laughed, and the stunned people couldn’t see that he was the top leader of the Russian Ministry of Energy. Instead, he was like a passionate guide who explained to Lu Zhou with a funny tone.

“Homer’s epic! The description of Helios…is also the nuclear power plant we are about to arrive!”

Said, his tone brought a feeling.

“The son of Helios used to make the light closer to the ground. He lost his hand and lit the earth. He turned Libby/Asia into a desert and burned the skin of Ethiopian residents into black. Homer two or three thousand years ago probably would not have thought of it. People after the millennium not only did the great work that the gods could accomplish, but even surpassed the gods and found a gentle way to release the energy of the sun.”

Lu Zhou: “…How do you say that the version is a little different from what I have heard?”

Minister Novak said with a smile: “It is not surprising that there are many versions of the things that have been written by word of mouth, not to mention that later generations will undergo certain art processing when they are sorting out. If you are interested, we can Find a chance to talk, just as I have some research on this aspect.”

Lu Zhou euphemistically refused: “Thank you, but I am not particularly interested in myths and legends.”

For him, taking the time to deal with academically unrelated things is already the limit he can accept.

Especially at this stall where the IMU conference is about to begin.

“Well, I understand that not everyone has the innate talent to be a poet…” Reluctantly shrugged, and Minister Novak’s eyes fell out of the window, watching the towering wall not far away, ” We have arrived.”

The Helios nuclear power plant is situated on the shores of the Baltic Sea, surrounded by a towering high wall, and, like the coal-fired substation in Haizhou, is guarded by Russian troops.

On the stone in front of the main entrance of the wall, Lu Zhou saw three trademarks, two of which were the Guangzhou Nuclear Construction Group, which was responsible for the construction of the raft and the pile, and the East Asian power supply, which is responsible for supplying the core. For the other, this is The real owner of the fusion substation – Rosatom.

As an oligarch in Russia’s nuclear power sector, Rosatom controls almost all of Russia’s entire production chain from top to bottom, even the vast majority of uranium mines in Siberia.

Cooperation with such companies is both an active choice for East Asia Power and an option supported by Russian officials.

According to the contract between East Asia Power and Rosatom, East Asia Power will sell the core to Rosatom at an expensive price, and will also station engineers at the Helios nuclear power plant to provide technical services for 20 years.

These technical services, including the maintenance and upgrade of the core control system, including the inspection of the core safety status, is to make every effort to ensure that the core is working properly.

At the same time, in the past two decades, East Asia Power will also share 13% of profits from the profits generated by East Asia Power’s core.

Although this kind of thing sells you a cooperative way of making money with your things, how much is the taste of an unequal treaty, but who wants to have only one East Asian power company in the whole world?

When the EU and North America were still swaying, Russia did not say that the agreement was signed, and it was for this reason that they succeeded in becoming the first overseas core project of East Asia Power.

Now, the core from China has finally been sent here.

In order to meet the historic moment of core ignition, not only did the Russian energy minister personally visit it, but also made a special trip to Lu Zhou’s itinerary, adjusting the ignition time to the beginning of August.

In fact, if they weren’t waiting for Lu Zhou, they could be ignited a week ago.

At the door of the Helios power station, a gray-haired old man stood there. When he saw Lu Zhou coming down from the car, his eyes suddenly showed a ray of light, and smiled and greeted him.

“Welcome to you, Lu Professor! We met again.”

“Hello, Academician Vasily.”

Holding the old man’s hands swaying, Lu Zhou was friendly and laughed, then looked to the other serious middle-aged man standing next to him.

“Who is this?”

“Lermontov,” took the initiative to extend the right hand, not quite the same as the enthusiastic Vasily academician. This serious middle-aged man did not seem to be very cold with him. He just said briefly, “The responsibility here. One of the people.”

Did not care about the attitude of the responsible person to himself, Lu Zhou friendly nodded to him, and then continued to cast his eyes to the door.

Just then, he suddenly saw an unexpected silhouette.

“Wang Academician? Why are you here too?”

Chief Engineer of the Nuclear Industry Group, Academician Wang Zengguang!

One of the veteran big cattle in the field of nuclear power that ignited the fusion fire in Haizhou with him!

Regardless of Pan Changhong and Academician Zhou Chengfu, the old people of the last era, plus a lesser-known academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Li Jiangang, the three of them are basically the three giants in the nuclear industry of China.

Because Lu Zhou did not send engineering articles, did not accept students, and even resigned his post, Old Professor Wang’s influence in the nuclear industry could not be said to be a little bigger than him.

This time Lu Zhou was really surprised. He really didn’t expect that Academician Wang actually came.

“after all is the first overseas project of our nuclear fusion project, I can’t help but ask,” Wang Zengguang haha ​​laughed, moved towards surprised Lu Zhou squeezed his eyebrows and continued, “Let’s go, Rosatom The people on the other side of the company have been waiting for us for a long time. Haven’t you seen that the Lermontov mister is impatient? Let’s not stand at the door, come in and talk.”

The entire group did not stay at the door for too long.

Even without the urging of the Academician Wang, Minister Novak did not intend to let Lu Zhou stand in the doorway and continue to chill.

For the ignition ceremony that is about to start, he can’t wait.

On the way to the control tower of the moving towards the fusion power station, Lu Zhou learned from the chat that as a representative of the nuclear industry group, the academician Wang arrived much earlier than himself, even as early as a week.

The original ignition should have started a week ago, but it was postponed until now for various reasons.

Although this has nothing to do with the Chinese side, mainly the Russian side’s own arrangements, but many of the technicians and management personnel of Rosatom are quite vocal.

After all, a week after the ignition, it means that one night of power, and one week late, it means that their capital chain has to bear more than a week of pressure.

If it is because of safety or other technical reasons, it will be delayed, that is, just to wait for a Chinese flight, and a political show of a minister, the ignition date has been adjusted backwards for a whole week. It’s not too cool for people to have a snack.

But in any case, this moment is finally waiting.

At this moment, a group of people stood in the commanding tower.

The person standing at the head is naturally Minister Novak, while most of them are senior officials of the Russian Ministry of Energy and core technicians of several nuclear power companies.

The camera’s lens is lined up around the command room, and the reporters with long spear short guns in the hand make the command room, which is not too spacious, even more crowded.

However, no one cares about these details, staring at the screen and buttons on the console in front, and almost all the Russians present are holding their breath.

All the work was ready a week ago.

Now just press the last button!

Under the gaze of everyone, the Minister of Novak standing in front of the console tried to calm his heartbeat, watching the button in front of him repeatedly rubbing his index finger and thumb.

In the end, he shouted aok a deep breath, he took his eyes off the console, looked around at the reporters holding the camera and waiting for him, and the engineers at Rosatom, started talking with a solemn voice.

“This is a great moment!”

“It has witnessed not only that the Russian people have finally ushered in a never-ending fire, but also witnessed our friendship with the Chinese people… I hope it will last as long as the sun, and we will hope that our World will be forever. Peace goes on.”

After all, under the attention of all sights, he pressed the button.

then……

It seems that nothing happens?

Looking at the radiation data on the console and the plasma temperature and other indicators, Lu Zhou slightly frowned, I don’t know if it is his illusion. I always think that this is the same as when he pressed the button in Haizhou. Some are not the same.

Academician Wang and Vasily Fellow apparently also saw this, and expression was inconsistently dignified.

However, the reporter standing next to him, and the Minister of Novak who pressed the button, did not seem to find anything wrong with it, and even had a cheering voice.

However, at this moment, the door of the command room was suddenly pushed open, and an engineer wearing a helmet quickly walked to the side of Minister Novak, his face ugly and trembled.

“Minister mister!”

The face was still full of elated expressions. After seeing the engineer’s face, he realized that the situation might be a little bit wrong, and his face suddenly collapsed.

However, he still barely kept calm and asked his face with a majestic expression.

“……What happened?”

“The core seems to be out of order.”

The command tower was suddenly quiet.

The reporters who are taking pictures have stopped.

The expression on the face of Minister Novak stopped for a moment.

After the came back to his senses, the cold sweat brush stuck in front of his forehead came out.

“What happened in the end?! What does it mean to have a core condition?”

The engineer wearing the helmet swallowed and continued with a trembling voice.

“Our core…”

“It seems that there is no point.”
