MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 222 torrential rain

That's right, 5:00 Huaguo time tonight is the time for the Huaguo Lingshi New Energy Demonstration Reactor's ignition test run.

After more than half a month of hard research, Lu Yanchi took his team and numerous cooperative scientific research institutions to finally complete the technical research on the Lingshi New Energy Demonstration Reactor.

They built this world-changing demonstration reactor three days ahead of schedule.

The principle of the entire Lingshi New Energy Demonstration Reactor is very simple. To sum up, it is:

Turn the non-attribute spirit stone into a fire attribute spirit stone, and then use the characteristics of the fire attribute power to heat the water, and then convert the heat energy of the water into electricity.

There is a joke in the scientific research community called: The essence of human energy is to boil water, and the essence of human war is to throw stones.

Let’s leave the latter sentence aside for the time being. The former sentence does indeed describe all the essence of energy technology from the age of steam, the age of electricity, to the age of nuclear energy, and even the current age of Lingshi: “boil water”.

In more scientific terms, the essence of energy technology is to convert other energy into thermal energy, and then convert thermal energy into electrical energy.

In a relatively common vernacular, it can be directly and rudely summarized as "boiled water".

As for how to boil water, what kind of water to use, the conversion efficiency of heat energy and electric energy, etc., that is the direction that scientists are studying.

The spirit stone new energy technology, except for the previous point of "turning non-attribute spirit stones into fire attribute spirit stones", is essentially a process of boiling water.

However, this field of Lingshi new energy is a brand new technical field, a scientific field that has never had any experience before. In this field, there are likely to be countless pits buried that need to be stepped out by the Pathfinder.

As the first pathfinder, China is also destined to bear more pressure.

Therefore, even if the startup was very smooth, everyone in the control room looked very serious.

They watched all the charts closely, listened to the feedback from the various circuits, and focused on the data and phenomena.

CCTV reporters took the camera and took pictures non-stop, while the photographer in the main control room carried the camera and meticulously photographed all the details of the ignition.

Whether it is a success or a failure, this ignition experiment is destined to be a historic scene, destined to be remembered by the history and become an important historical material.

And Shang Yinhe, who was watching all of this from a distance, was as nervous as the people in the general control room for some unknown reason.

Although he clearly knows that today's demonstration reactor experiment will be very successful, although he clearly knows that this experiment will completely unveil a new era of mankind, and at the same time will cause a series of chain reactions, but under the influence of the atmosphere in the master control room, Shang Yinhe's expression also became solemn.

The mountain and rain are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

In the darkening sky, the wind outside the window became manic—a harbinger of an approaching thunderstorm.

Following this manic storm, Shang Yinhe's uniform collar swayed constantly in the wind, scratching him a little bit.

"Don't make trouble..." Shang Yinhe's original nervous attitude suddenly vented, he reluctantly touched the collar of his military uniform, and whispered, "What are you making fun of?"

The collar of the military uniform fell silent, no longer swaying with the strong wind, as if he was really a very ordinary, very ordinary military uniform, as if he had not heard all the conversations between Shang Yinhe and Mu Shiming before, as if he did not There is no jealousy that Iida can speak with integrity...

Only the collar of the military uniform did not move, and the sleeves of the military uniform seemed to move again. Shang Yinhe was so embarrassed that he quickly appeased him for a while.

However, the small cloak that was transformed into a military uniform made such a fuss, Shang Yinhe's original nervous attitude disappeared instantly.

His mind relaxed again, watching everything with a more detached attitude.

In Huaguo's secret demonstration reactor ignition plan, the trial operation experiment of the demonstration reactor this time will last for 24 hours and be divided into four rounds.

Among them, the duration of the first round of experiments is 20 minutes, and there will be an hour of induction, summary and feedback after the completion of the first round.

Shang Yinhe waited patiently. Together with the people in the control room, he listened to the reports on all the routes.

"There is no abnormality in the A line part."

"There is no abnormality in the B line part."

"Gen 1 starts running..."

"No. 1 generating set is in normal operation."

The first round of experiments hardly encountered any twists and turns, and the feedback from each circuit was all normal.

The further back in time, the more excited the people in the control room became.

20 minutes later, the first round of testing of the Lingshi New Energy Reactor ended, and it began to enter the intermission stage.

Although the on-duty personnel in various positions have not shown any slack, they are still seriously following the prescribed procedures, checking and giving feedback, but the look of joy has already flowed on their faces.

- We seem, maybe, maybe, really...successful?

- We made it!

"Boom!"

In front of Shang Yinhe, a huge lightning flashed in the sky. The lightning hit the sky and ground to the ground, reaching the sky and the ground, leaving a lingering afterimage on his retina.

Then, the rainstorm that had been brewing for a long time finally fell.

The raindrops were initially fine, small, and light.

But soon, it became violent.

The bean-sized raindrops hit the ground violently, and the huge force seemed to pierce the entire surface!

The wind rages to overturn the house, and the rain comes like a **** burst.

Shang Yinhe took two steps back, closed the window, and blocked the fierce storm from the window. The raindrops hit the glass windows, and soon the rhythm of the moonlight serenade turned into a violent symphony of destiny.

This seems to be a symbol of the future of Lingshi New Energy. This disruptive technology will surely bring about a disruptive future.

Shang Yinhe finally took a look at the sky full of thunder and lightning before turning on his space jumping ability.

He still has combat missions in the Middle East, and now he is taking advantage of the lunch break in the Middle East to come back and witness history.

It's like if you travel to the world of full-time hunters, you have to witness the 287th Hunter Exam; if you travel to the world of Harry Potter, you have to witness the experience of the Iron Triangle; In the event of such an important event in China, Shang Yinhe couldn't hold back his desire to witness it.

And the history he has witnessed has indeed brought him a great feeling. That almost represents the potential of mankind itself, and the infinite future of mankind as a whole...

However, it was impossible for him to accompany the people in the control room to finish the 24-hour experiment.

After all, the lunch break is over. As a "Shang Yinhe", he should return to the war room of the coalition forces of various countries in the Arabian Peninsula.

However, as the "Nine Songs", he seems to still remember this violent thunderstorm, and the Lingshi New Energy Demonstration Reactor that was destined to turmoil the whole world under that thunderstorm...

---------------------

A day later, across the sea, the Bald Eagle Federation.

It is now 4:00 AM Bald Eagle Federal Time and 4:00 PM China Time.

The time of 4:00 in the morning is the best time to enjoy sleep for most people. Most people will be in a state of deep sleep at this time. Some people will enjoy their dreams, and some people will enjoy a warm sleep that doesn't even have a dream.

However, at such a most enjoyable moment, countless elites who enjoy life the most were woken up by an emergency call and gathered in a video conference.

"It's 4:00-4:00 in the morning!" a middle-aged man in the video conference complained dissatisfiedly, he obviously had a strong sense of getting up, "Is there anything that can't be postponed for an hour or two?"

However, everyone in the video conference ignored his complaints.

Most of the people in the video conference are elites who have struggled all the way from the mountains of corpses and blood. They have all experienced hardships like 48 hours of sleepless nights, long hours of "996" and "007", continuous overtime, and no personal time. struggling years.

Of course, after climbing to the top, they gradually moved away from such hard times.

But in the same way, working in a high-level job often means thoroughly integrating work and life.

In a fast-paced era like modern times, most people, regardless of class, are under unimaginable pressure.

In comparison, the experience of this middle-aged man is much happier.

His name is Francis Van Lentien, and his father unfortunately (or fortunately for him) has a reproductive disorder, so he inherited the property directly from his father as the only son of his father, which also makes him at the moment. performance, much worse than others.

"Andrew, you called us so late at night, must be something very important?" A mature and prudent man asked first.

This man was called Donald Sylvester, and he was more senior than the original Solomon Atwood, so he was also the first person who dared to speak.

"Latest news," Andrew Atwood, who had just replaced his cousin Solomon and took the position of chairman of Eric Meiyi, said in a stiff tone, his face ashen, "Huaguo's Lingshi New Energy Demonstration Reactor , started the ignition test run experiment yesterday."

As soon as this sentence came out, it instantly caused countless whispers from people in the video conference. Countless people spoke at the same time, instantly making the originally quiet video conference noisy:

"yesterday…?"

"I haven't received any news before..."

"Huaguo's confidentiality measures are so strict?"

"Is the message correct?"

"Precisely," Andrew couldn't hear the words in the video conference at all, he ignored the others and continued, "It was at 6:00 a.m. yesterday morning American time, Huaguo was in their base in Yongliang City, The ignition trial operation experiment of the Lingshi New Energy Demonstration Reactor was started."

"I got their plan in some way," Andrew Atwood unconsciously clenched the paper document in his hand. He didn't need to look down at all. During the previous period, he had read this document countless times. The document, so that he remembered all the words on the document, "their plan will last for 24 hours, and they plan to announce it on the news network of Huaguo that day after the ignition is successful."

"That is to say," Donald Sylvester, who was the first to speak before, was keenly aware of the meaning behind this sentence, he said in an unbelievable tone, "Two hours later, the spirit stone demonstration pile in China will be The experiment will end; three hours later, the news of the successful operation of Lingshi New Energy will be publicly announced internationally??"

"That's right," Andrew replied with a livid face, "there are only two hours left for us."

"How can it be so fast?" Francis exclaimed in the conference call. He still studied the new energy theory of Lingshi, and he was a little surprised, "Hey, I remember that the first video of "The Extraordinary Age" was broadcast. , it's only been a little over a month, right? The theory of Lingshi New Energy came up, it seems that only half a month has passed, right?"

—Yeah, how could it be so fast?

Andrew couldn't figure this out.

Normally, a scientific research, from the formulation of the problem, to the preliminary solution of the scientific research theory, to the completion of the preliminary analysis in the laboratory, and finally to the attempt to carry out industrial design, no matter how it is calculated, it will take as long as half a year at the fastest.

To exaggerate a little bit, it would be fine to drag on for a decade or two.

More exaggerated, such as nuclear fusion, has been dragged on for almost a century, and there is no shadow...

By analogy, Lingshi New Energy is a new energy technology that is destined to change the world. You say that it will be studied for a year or two, right?

How could... how could... how could the demonstration pile start to ignite in less than a month?

In Andrew's original estimate, he still had at least half a year to deal with the challenge of the new spirit stone energy.

However, he never imagined that the "half a year" was actually only a little over two weeks, not even a month.

When Andrew took over the chairmanship of his cousin Solomon, he thought he was getting the crown of supremacy.

But he didn't expect how long ago, the trap behind the crown appeared in front of him...

"I'm waiting for the day you go to **** with me."

The last words Solomon left that day suddenly appeared in Andrew's ears.

At that time, Andrew only regarded these words as the whining of the defeated dog, as the last cruel words of the loser in order to save his dignity. However, thinking about it now...

A shadow passed through Andrew's heart.

No wonder Solomon's operation was so urgent at that time, leaving so many flaws. Could it be that Solomon had foreseen this in advance, so he acted so quickly and urgently?

Realizing that he was thinking about Solomon again, Andrew quickly dismissed the idea and refocused on the meeting in front of him.

In the video conference, everyone is still discussing with you and me. Andrew was a little impatient, and interrupted the chatter of everyone in the video conference, saying: "Everyone, we are all people sitting in a boat - this boat is broken, and no one can live. Go down!"

During the video conference, Andrew's upper body leaned forward, and in a very threatening and offensive posture, he said strongly: "Now, only two hours, we need a solution."

During the video conference, there was a moment of silence.

After a long time, Donald Sylvester, the most experienced person present, sighed helplessly, and was the first to break the silence: "If the subject of this experiment is not the official laboratory of China, then we still have There are many ways to do it…”

After speaking, Donald smiled bitterly: "But, this time we have to face that 'Huaguo'!"

Due to the particularity of the social system, the power of capital cannot occupy any special position in China;

Even due to differences in race, skin color, etc., China has set up a threshold for them in terms of power penetration, intelligence acquisition and many other aspects. Apart from bribing locals in China and looking for Chinese or overseas Chinese as candidates for information detection, there is not much they can do.

"Two hours is too short," the middle-aged man who initially complained about the call at 4:00 in the morning, namely Francis Van Lentien, complained again, "What can we do in two hours? "

He even started complaining directly to the source: "Why did Hua Guo start the ignition experiment a day ago, and we didn't get the news until now?"

"Huaguo's secrecy measures are very well done," Andrew gave him a cold look, and still explained, "Yongliang City is the big base for their supernatural beings, and there are several perception system superpowers sitting in town. , and a special intelligence department to conduct counterintelligence investigations.”

"And many of their scientific experiments are held in the Yongliang City base, and it is impossible to tell which project team the personnel transfer belongs to," Andrew said. I have questioned the intelligence personnel, but unfortunately, the explanation given by the intelligence personnel is really reasonable, so he can't get angry, "This makes the way of summarizing information from public channels to be abolished."

"More importantly, it takes time to build an intelligence network. Yongliang City in Huaguo is an area that was built from scratch, and it has only existed for half a year," Andrew shook his head, "and during this half year, the world When the situation is turbulent, who can have the leisure to do the infiltration of intelligence with a lot of investment when they can’t take care of themselves?”

"That's me, I can get the news two hours in advance," Andrew couldn't help but sneered at the end, "If it wasn't for me, you would only hear the news on the news network three hours later. ."

"Speaking of which," Andrew looked at Francis with a sneer, "Everyone here is well-informed, didn't you hear the news until now?"

The middle-aged man, Francis, was taunted and speechless.

Unfortunately, although he let out a sigh of relief through ridicule, Andrew's heart was even more panicked.

Because he found that it seems that everyone in the video conference, the elites standing at the top of the world, are helpless about the current phenomenon.

"What can we do now?" Andrew couldn't help but ask again.

As soon as he said this, he regretted it.

This sentence can't be more obvious to expose Andrew's own fearful heart. In a normal business war, this is simply a flaw that can put him to death.

Compared with other cousins ​​Solomon, Andrew, who has just taken the position of chairman of Eric Meiyi Group, does appear to be less mature.

Fortunately, as Andrew said before, the people on the conference call now are all people sitting on a broken boat.

Several people cast meaningful glances at Andrew, but did not respond much to his apparently panic-stricken remarks.

"Maybe what we can do," the middle-aged man Francis shrugged, "is to pray to God?"

Facing the gazes of everyone in the video conference, Francis hurriedly added: "Um... I just... I just wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, don't you think the current atmosphere is too depressing and not suitable for thinking? ?"

"Haha." Andrew responded with a sneer.

After more than half an hour, someone finally gave a feasible suggestion.

Donald Sylvester, who had seen more, said after thinking for a long time: "Maybe, there is indeed a way..."

"What way?" Andrew asked immediately.

Donald thought, "Isolate China."

"...how to say?" Andrew frowned slightly.

"We can politicize the technology of this new Lingshi energy," Donald couldn't help but smile meaningfully when he said the word "politicized", "We can give this new technology a lot of political meaning, and then Encourage other countries to reject this technology and give us time for our own transformation.”

"Anyway, the Huaguo Threat Theory has been popular for a while," Donald smiled slightly. "Now there's just one more case added. This is a ready-made target."

"Er... But," the middle-aged man Francis interjected, "this is a cleaner and cheaper new energy source. If China takes off with this technology, and other countries lag behind because they don't have this technology, what should we do? what?"

Donald Sylvester glanced at the middle-aged man in the video conference with mock surprise, and sarcastically said in an unbelievable tone: "It sounds like you are still a patriot?"

The middle-aged man Francis was stunned for a moment, and was forced to shut his mouth by these ironic words.

Capital knows no borders.

And big capitalists with many nationalities, it seems difficult to have national boundaries.

In many cases, big capitalists are patriotic because their industries are closely related to the entire country. If they do not patriotism, they will lose more interests.

However, in the face of greater interests, it seems that this kind of patriotism has become an ornament on the facade.

"We're not talking about leaving other countries behind," Donald explained in a nonchalant manner, "but we're saying that the development and progress of all countries should be linked to our companies—we The progress of the country is the progress of the country, isn't it?"

This is indeed a viable solution, and the steps to do it don't seem bothersome.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Andrew nodded again and again.

"This technology cannot be blocked by China," Donald said righteously. "Other countries also need this technology."

Andrew nodded knowingly: "I will step up the time to urge the Ernest International Research Institute, so that they can quickly develop a commercialized new energy technology of Lingshi, this is to prevent the Bald Eagle Federation from falling behind."

"Many countries will be negotiating on Lingshi's new energy technology," Donald added, "but the negotiation process... ahem, that requires our joint efforts."

"OK, OK..." Many people in the video conference laughed knowingly.

"For our country," Andrew couldn't help but smile again, but he tried to make his smile look upright, "We will complete the transformation of the entire industrial chain as soon as possible, and will not let our lovely and respectable country fall behind How long."

He said the words "cute and respectable" in a playful, ironic way.

"This is destined to go against the national interests of many countries, but it is in our interests," Donald concluded, looking around the crowd in the video conference, "This road will be difficult, and we have to use various means to force those politicians to submit. ."

"Time is running out," Donald glanced at his mechanical watch, five minutes before the end of the ignition experiment, and one hour and five minutes before the official announcement of the news on Huaguo News Network, "Everyone, God bless you."

"God bless you."

Amid the reconciliation, the conference call ended.
