I will include Suzhou in the long-term planning for technology promotion. I will arrange for a team to come for on-site research as soon as possible to formulate a detailed cooperation plan, striving to promote the project's implementation at an early date and contribute to Suzhou's energy transformation."

After leaving the Suzhou Energy Bureau, Mu Li was preparing to drive home when his phone suddenly rang, the screen displaying an unfamiliar number from Jing City. He puzzledly pressed the answer button. From the other end of the line came a low, magnetic voice, the tone respectful and steady: "May I ask if this is Engineer Mu Li? I am Li Zhenghong, Secretary-General of the Huaxia Energy Business Alliance."

"I am Mu Li. May I ask what Secretary-General Li needs?" Mu Li asked with confusion.

He had long heard of the Huaxia Energy Business Alliance; it was the largest and most influential energy industry organization in the country, gathering heads of major domestic energy enterprises, industry experts, and representatives from relevant departments. It held an annual summit every year to discuss the development trends of the energy industry and integrate industry resources, possessing huge influence. He did not expect the Huaxia Energy Business Alliance to contact him proactively.

"Hello, Engineer Mu. Our Huaxia Energy Business Alliance has been closely following the outstanding achievements you have made in the field of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station. You have led your team to overcome one technical difficulty after another, successfully building and putting into operation multiple Nuclear Fusion Power Stations, making huge contributions to the development of the domestic clean energy industry.

"We will send the invitation letter to you as soon as possible, and at the same time, send you relevant materials such as the summit agenda and the list of attendees to facilitate your preparation in advance. Looking forward to meeting you in Jing City to discuss the grand plan for clean energy development."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Secretary-General Li. See you in Jing City." Mu Li responded.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Li stood by the side of the road, his mood unable to calm down for a long time. A breeze blew past, carrying the moist atmosphere of Jiangnan. He looked up into the distance, his eyes full of determination and longing. The invitation from the Huaxia Energy Business Alliance meant that he had officially entered the core circle of the domestic energy industry, and he was one step closer to his dream of a clean energy empire.

He knew that at the summit, he needed to fully demonstrate the advantages, prospects, and commercial value of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology to the heads of major energy enterprises and industry experts, strive for their support and cooperation, dispel their concerns, and let more people recognize the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology and join the ranks of promoting clean energy.

After returning home, Mu Li told his mother the news that the Huaxia Energy Business Alliance had invited him to attend the annual summit. His mother was picking vegetables in the living room. Hearing this news, a gratified smile immediately appeared on her face. She put down the vegetables in her hand, walked to Mu Li's side, and patted his shoulder: "Li'er, this is a good thing! It shows that your work has been recognized by the industry. This is your honor and the pride of our family. You must prepare well, show the strength of our Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology, and let more people know about your dedication and how amazing our country's technology is."

"I know, Mom. I will prepare well. I won't let you down, and I won't let the team down." Mu Li nodded, his heart full of motivation. His mother's support was his greatest confidence for moving forward.

In the following days, Mu Li accompanied his mother, walking with her in the old alleys, going to the vegetable market to buy groceries, and listening to her talk about interesting things among the neighbors, making up for the companionship he had lacked for many years. At the same time, he used his spare time to start preparing the speech materials for the Huaxia Energy Business Alliance Annual Summit.

He sat at his desk, opened his computer, and sorted out the development history of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology—from the initial technical research and development, laboratory testing, to the difficult construction and operation of the first batch of projects, and then to the promotion and technical optimization of the second batch of projects. Every key node and every technical breakthrough was clearly presented on the screen.

He focused on organizing the technical advantages of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station and the success stories of the previous projects, detailed the problems and solutions encountered during the technology promotion process, and planned the future promotion layout. He highlighted the important role of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology in clean energy transformation and its underlying commercial value, striving to make the speech have both technical depth and practical significance, so as to move every attendee present.

During this period, he also talked with Lin Wei on the phone many times to understand the progress of the Longyuan Province project and sought her opinions to improve the technical details in the speech materials.

During these few days, Chen Yang came to find Mu Li several times. The two continued to have in-depth exchanges on the development trends of the energy industry and the promotion of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology in Suzhou.

Chen Yang also introduced several large-scale manufacturing enterprises and high-tech enterprises in Suzhou to Mu Li. These enterprises had huge energy consumption and prominent environmental pressure, and all had a strong demand for clean energy substitution. He also proactively offered to act as a bridge to let Mu Li meet and communicate with the heads of these enterprises, providing potential cooperation resources for the subsequent implementation of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology in Suzhou. Mu Li was very grateful for this and agreed to trouble Chen Yang for help with the connection when the follow-up team came to Suzhou for research.

The days spent at home accompanying his mother were warm and short. In the blink of an eye, it was time for Mu Li to return. On the day of departure, before dawn, his mother got up early to prepare his luggage. She packed the osmanthus cakes, braised duck, and several cans of Biluochun tea that he loved into his suitcase one by one, and repeatedly urged: "Li'er, pay attention to safety on the road, drive slowly. When you arrive in Jing City or at the project site, remember to call me immediately to report that you are safe. No matter how busy you are at work, eat on time and rest on time. Don't stay up late."

His mother held Mu Li's hand, reluctant to part, and her eyes turned red again: "Next time you come back, remember to tell me in advance, and Mom will cook your favorite dishes for you. No matter how busy you are at work, call home often. Don't let Mom worry."

"Mom, don't worry." Mu Li gripped his mother's hand tightly, his voice somewhat choked, his heart filled with guilt. "I will call you often and take good care of myself, and I won't let you worry. After I finish this period of work, after the Huaxia Energy Business Alliance summit ends, I will come back to accompany you and stay with you for a few days."

After saying goodbye to his mother, Mu Li carried his suitcase, slowly walked out of the old alley, and got into the car. He looked back at the mottled wooden door and his mother waving at the door, his eyes moistening again. He knew that his mother's concern was his motivation for moving forward, and his dream was not only for his father's last wish but also to let his mother be at ease and let more ordinary people like his mother be able to use clean and safe energy.

On the way back, Mu Li's phone suddenly rang. It was Lin Wei calling. On the other end of the line, Lin Wei's voice was clear and steady, reporting the latest progress of the Longyuan Province project to him in detail: "Engineer Mu, let me report the latest situation of the Longyuan Province project to you. We have organized technical backbones to complete the preliminary design of the equipment's wind and sand prevention and temperature difference resistance technical solutions. In response to the local climate characteristics, we have optimized the shell sealing process and the adaptive adjustment function of the Cooling System. Currently, we are conducting simulation tests, and the test data is generally good. At the same time, we have finalized the detailed cooperation agreement with the Longyuan Provincial Energy Bureau, reaching a consensus on the project's investment ratio, construction period, energy output standards, technical guarantees, and other matters. The agreement has been initially drafted, waiting for you to return to review and sign."

"Well done, Lin Wei. Thank you and the team for your hard work." Mu Li nodded approvingly, his tone solemn: "The simulation tests must be strictly controlled. Every parameter must be repeatedly verified to ensure the feasibility and safety of the technical plan. There can be no negligence. After all, the climate conditions in Longyuan Province are special, and wind and sand prevention and temperature difference resistance are the keys to the project's success. In addition, you should arrange for a special group meeting to be held after I return to deploy the relevant preparations for the Huaxia Energy Business Alliance Annual Summit, clarify the division of labor, and ensure that we can perfectly demonstrate the strength of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology at the summit."

"Understood! Engineer Mu, I will arrange it immediately. We will strictly control the simulation tests, and the meeting will also be prepared in advance and held as soon as you return." Lin Wei responded firmly.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Li accelerated, gripping the steering wheel even tighter. He looked at the wide road ahead, his eyes full of determination and fighting spirit. He knew that his dream of a clean energy empire had officially begun. The Huaxia Energy Business Alliance Annual Summit would be an important stage for him to demonstrate his strength, integrate resources, and expand his influence, and it was a key step for him to realize his dream.

He must seize this opportunity, go all out to prepare, demonstrate the advantages and prospects of the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology at the summit, strive for more support and cooperation, let the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology be more widely promoted nationwide, make greater contributions to the national energy transformation, fulfill his father's last wish, live up to his mother's expectations, and not let down the team's trust and the country's heavy trust.

On the way back, Mu Li's mind was constantly filled with his father's last wish, his mother's expectations, the figures of team members fighting side by side, as well as the expectations of the director of the Suzhou Energy Bureau and the support of Chen Yang. These were all his motivation for moving forward and his confidence to press ahead. He firmly believed that as long as he persisted, forged ahead, united the team, and integrated resources, he would definitely be able to realize his ideals, establish a clean energy empire covering the whole country and influencing the whole world, become a true power tycoon, let the Nuclear Fusion Power Station technology illuminate more people's lives, and inject a continuous stream of clean energy power into the country's development.
