89: Section 89

Chapter 83: Explosion! Public Opinion Ignites, Nation Boils! Endless Energy!!!

Permanent... Free!!!

As soon as this announcement was released, all the residents of Yanjing were stunned.

And the eight regions included in it were directly dumbfounded after seeing this announcement!

An hour of power outage in exchange for permanent light!

Everyone would agree to that!

"Holy crap!!!"

This time, the popularity of this phrase directly topped the hot search list.

Because this matter was too shocking!

Almost everyone couldn't help but exclaim 'Holy crap' before speaking!

"Holy crap, what's going on? Is this real or fake? Permanently free??"

"Wait, have you noticed? Lin's Fusion Power! The Nuclear Fusion power plant is really out!!!"

"Holy crap, it really came out just like that. Didn't the Experts say there was no hope within fifty years?"

"Those Experts are nothing! Lin's is the truth!!!"

"Holy crap, it's permanently free, but why only Yanjing and its surrounding areas? Is this not putting my great Xijiang Province in its eyes?"

"My Foodie Province refuses to accept this! If they don't give us free electricity, I'm going to eat my Fujian friends!"

"Fujianese people are trembling with fear!!!"

"So, it's not an ordinary nuclear power plant at all?"

"It is nuclear power, but it's Nuclear Fusion power generation, not nuclear fission power generation, hahahaha!"

"No problem!! It's also a nuclear power plant!"

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have doubted the officials!"

"It's all those Experts and professors, constantly making noise on the internet, and those hundreds of self-media accounts publishing all sorts of articles, which made me unclear about the reality!"

"Yes, we should sort out these self-media accounts, they're too much!"

"What's wrong with our magnificent Great Huaguo developing Nuclear Fusion? What's wrong with being the first to take this step alone!"

"[Lin's Fusion Power]! See that? Lin's! It's him again!"

"Too powerful. Projects with Lin's involvement can directly achieve epoch-making progress. What kind of existence is this Lin's?"

"If he's an organization, that's one thing. If he really just represents one person, I can't even imagine!"

"Has the specific announcement come out? How exactly is it free? It won't be like a certain Tencent where free is actually the most expensive, right?"

"Probably not, after all, this is official!"

"Holy cow, so, this experimental month was really for experiments?"

"What exactly is going on? Why is the power plant already built before the experimental month is even over?"

"Does that even need to be said! The experimental process must have gone very smoothly!"

"We thought the circuit instability meant the officials weren't doing experiments at all, but is there a possibility that because the experimental process was found to be very smooth, with no instability at all, it was directly passed through the experiment later?"

"Possible! Absolutely possible! It must be like this!"

"Lighthouse Country must be dumbfounded! You only lowered prices, we have free electricity for everyone, hahahaha!"

"Too powerful. Before, the nationwide development of combustible ice was just a preliminary step into the new energy era, but now with Nuclear Fusion, it can truly be said to be directly leading an era!"

"Nuclear Fusion, that is the cleanest, purest, and cheapest energy in the world!"

"Even I, someone not in this profession, know that the consumables for Nuclear Fusion come from elements in seawater, and our Blue Star lacks everything except seawater!"

"Yes, I heard that after achieving Nuclear Fusion, the energy it provides will be enough for the entire Blue Star for hundreds of billions of years without fear of depletion!"

"Now, unless the seas dry up and rocks crumble, we really don't have to worry about energy shortages anymore!"

"…"

Just an hour passed.

The public, who were still questioning and dissatisfied a moment ago, were now completely awestruck by the announcement, prostrating themselves in admiration!

Apologies were flooding the official accounts on various platforms.

After all, rational people knew how much pressure they had put on the officials during this period, all stemming from their distrust of the officials.

However, the officials had been silently working on real matters, and because they had to avoid foreign scrutiny and couldn't make a big show, fearing sabotage that could lead to incorrect experimental data, they quietly endured the pressure and secretly advanced the experiment.

Yet, precisely because of this, it led to a greater misunderstanding.

Fortunately, facts speak louder than words!

Now, everyone knew that the ten large-scale projects under construction were not dangerous nuclear fission power plants at all.

But rather large-scale Nuclear Fusion power plants that exceeded the imagination of the entire world!

Yanjing Building.

Special Decision Group.

Chief Yun couldn't help but smile.

This decision greatly boosted morale!

Permanent free electricity!

This was the biggest reason he proposed the experimental month in the first place!

When Academician Jiang and Yang Boru conducted experiments with the experimental equipment, the data they measured clearly told him:

The consumption during Nuclear Fusion power generation, to sustain Yanjing for one day, only required four tons of heavy water!

The source of heavy water is the sea, and processing it is also very simple.

Even if bought directly at international market prices, it would only cost 16,000 Huabi.

16,000 to sustain the electricity consumption of an entire Yanjing for a whole day!

What kind of concept is this?

16,000, for an individual, can be considered a considerable expense.

But for an entire city, isn't that equivalent to being free?!

The key is, that was only experimental equipment, not the final product.

After testing, the truly built Lin's Fusion Power will be the real Nuclear Fusion power generation equipment!

It is more than ten times larger than the experimental equipment!

But its efficiency is more than a hundred times higher!

Just one piece of equipment can sustain the electricity consumption of several provinces!

And the daily consumption does not exceed 200,000.

Three of them are built in coastal areas.

They can even add a heavy water processing plant, then become self-sufficient, further reducing costs!

Precisely because of such terrifying efficiency, after Academician Jiang's calculations, it was found that only ten Lin's Fusion Power plants would be enough to meet the electricity consumption of the entire Huaguo!

There would even be a significant surplus, and this electricity could be stored for backup power.

Moreover, Lin's Fusion Power is not only efficient, clean, and inexpensive, but also stable!

Even if the number of factories currently requiring large amounts of electricity were dozens of times higher, the power grid would still maintain absolute stability!

There would be no unstable circuits leading to power outages.

This is why Chief Yun was able to convince everyone to pass this epoch-making policy of free electricity for all!

This represents the absolute progress of Huaguo!

It means they have entered an era of inexhaustible energy!

With this energy supply, all industries in Huaguo will be comprehensively upgraded!

Of course, to prevent the public from developing the habit of deliberately wasting electricity, the detailed policy also stated—

Ten Lin's Fusion Power plants will be completed this month!

At that time, a basic free electricity policy will be simultaneously implemented for all citizens!

Household electricity, calculated per household, will have an actual free electricity allowance of one thousand kilowatt-hours per month.

Industrial electricity, on the other hand, will have a free electricity allowance of one hundred thousand kilowatt-hours per month.

Anything exceeding this will be charged at one-tenth of the previous electricity fee, which is five fen per kilowatt-hour!

Furthermore, Chief Yun specifically pointed out at the end: This month's electricity bill still needs to be paid, remember not to fall behind.

As the more detailed policy was announced, everyone was completely dumbfounded!

Holy crap!

It wasn't a dream after all!

It really is free!

If the previous announcement, which only had two sentences, might have left them with a trace of doubt, or even made them wonder if 'free' actually meant more expensive.

The result!

Each household gets one thousand kilowatt-hours of free electricity per month!

Which family could possibly use that much!

Even a family of five, running air conditioning all day, would only use a few hundred more kilowatt-hours!

What's more!

What reassured everyone the most was the policy for excess charges!
