91: Section 91

"We released news to the countries surrounding the Pan-Asian Continent that we can supply cheap electricity, and several countries have already expressed their intention to cooperate with us!"

"We believe that after this, our country's international standing will inevitably rise!"

"Our position is becoming more secure, and our voice in international affairs will grow stronger!"

Chief Yun had anticipated all of this.

However, after quietly listening to Zhou Zishang finish speaking, he nodded with great satisfaction.

The result was even better than he had imagined.

This was also due to Lin Bai's ability, which allowed them to achieve such a groundbreaking technological breakthrough in such a short time.

Most importantly.

This time, Lin's Fusion Power made China the single most influential country on the Asian Continent!

"Although the price we are charging is the same as the electricity fee we previously charged domestically, fifty-six cents per kilowatt-hour."

"But this price itself is already the cheapest electricity fee in the world."

"For the surrounding countries, this is an enormous benefit."

"Not to mention, the electricity we provide is more stable and more efficient than what they generate themselves."

"For many countries, providing electricity to their citizens is already a very strenuous task; they work tirelessly yet gain little benefit, and failure can even lead to public resentment."

"The fact that we are willing to lay the circuits for them this time is like a pie falling from the sky for these countries."

"Countries around us, such as Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand, have all sent requests to China hoping to obtain this cheap electricity."

"Several countries with whom we have good relations have even shown extreme trust, willing to merge their entire national power grids into China's power grid."

"This allows them to completely discard this complicated matter, freeing up more productivity and promoting domestic economic development."

"Although we have agreed to help them renovate and lay new circuits to integrate into our power grid free of charge."

"However, for China, this is a matter of lasting benefit!"

"After this one-time solution, we can collect electricity fees totaling at least 1.6 trillion annually from these countries, and this is only from a fraction of them, with others still considering."

"Once they see the rapid development achieved by the countries that have joined our national power grid."

"They surely won't be able to sit still and will eventually join our Lin's Fusion Power grid one after another."

"The benefits our country gains from this could increase several times over!"

Zhou Zishang grew more excited as he spoke.

It couldn't be helped; he was in charge of energy, and now that Lin's Fusion Power had emerged, other cumbersome traditional power sources were gradually being phased out.

This actually reduced much of his workload while placing him in charge of the general management of Lin's Fusion Power.

The electricity export project is currently under his management, which is a very impressive political achievement for him, so he couldn't help but be excited.

Furthermore, relying solely on selling electricity internationally can generate an income of no less than 1.6 trillion per year, which is a significant revenue stream for all of China!

And the electricity sold internationally is merely the surplus power generated by one or two Lin's Fusion Power plants. The required resources are still inexhaustibly sourced from seawater, and the cost price is only tens of thousands of yuan per day.

Yet, it can bring China thousands of times the return on investment!

With so much extra money, China can use the funds in more areas and invest in more industries, thereby forming a positive cycle that leads to continuous improvement!

Of course, compared to Zhou Zishang, who only saw the economic benefits.

Chief Yun saw much more; after all, different positions naturally lead to different perspectives.

Boosting the domestic economy was only the first step.

More importantly, there were other benefits brought about by the integration of the Asian Continent's power grids.

For instance, while the surrounding countries that joined China's power grid gained many advantages, they were also, relatively speaking, bound together with China!

Because of this, China is preeminent in Asia, at the very least!

Coupled with the global sales of the previous 5nm chips, which forcefully drove the rapid advancement of chip products worldwide, pulling Lighthouse Country down from its long-held top spot and putting it on the same starting line as many other nations.

These numerous achievements, combined with the birth of Lin's Fusion Power and the future potential for further Nuclear Fusion advancements.

All of this greatly elevated China's standing in the international community... of course.

If you want to know who was least willing to see this situation happen.

It was naturally Lighthouse Country.

Watching China rise rapidly at a speed he couldn't possibly imagine, the President was absolutely furious.

"What Lin's Fusion Power!?"

"What Lin's!?"

"This Lin's, Hubert, what exactly are you doing? I gave you nearly half a year, and you still haven't found anything?"

Hubert from the intelligence department also had a face like he had stepped in shit.

The President hadn't pressured him to investigate this Lin's for a long time.

After all, he had stated from the beginning that it was difficult to investigate.

Furthermore, Lin's had never shown itself publicly, and before Nuclear Fusion power was revealed, the President himself thought China was just messing around!

So Hubert had completely given up on investigating Lin's from the start, switching instead to monitoring China's activities.

At the time, he even received praise for finding out that they were building a nuclear power plant.

But then.

It was later discovered that the intelligence was wrong, and spectacularly so!

It wasn't a regular nuclear power plant at all, but a Nuclear Fusion power plant!

And this time, Lin's was involved again.

Now the President was carrying out a delayed execution, grabbing him again to interrogate him about this matter.

"Hmph, trash!"

"You can't do anything right!"

The President roared in anger.

If the person from the intelligence department hadn't been from his own faction, he would have suspected they were planted by the opposition to sabotage him.

"Right, what about our accusations against China? How did China respond afterward? Did it cause any public confusion?"

When the President mentioned this, the expressions of the others around him soured.

Then, the President's Secretary brought over a video to show the President.

This was a routine press conference held by China for foreign media.

Many of the self-media outlets were, under the President's instruction, questioning China about the Nuclear Fusion matter—

"Excuse me, Chinese officials, why are you hiding nuclear tests from the entire world?"

"Are you aware that if a nuclear test is mishandled, it could bring enormous harm to the entire world?"

"Are you trying to secretly conduct more experiments on the atomic bomb?"

"You are violating the World Non-Nuclear Treaty! You owe the world an explanation!"

"I believe that for the safety of people worldwide, China must fully disclose the details of Nuclear Fusion power generation and allow this product of nuclear testing to be subject to global supervision!"

"Excuse me, multiple countries internationally believe that China is simply trying to gain attention, and that what you are using is not Nuclear Fusion at all, but nuclear fission. You are merely packaging it as a Nuclear Fusion project to conceal the inherent dangers of your project, is that correct?"

"China once stated that you would never vigorously develop nuclear projects, so why are you going back on your word now?"

"China's actions have caused dissatisfaction among many nations internationally; they believe your approach will escalate the global nuclear threat. Chinese officials must apologize and destroy this dangerous nuclear project!"

This time, the diplomatic official was facing media reporters entirely from Western Countries.

Following the unveiling of Lin's Fusion Power, the Western Countries were the ones hit hardest.

They utterly detested the emergence of Lin's Fusion Power.

Since all ten Lin's Fusion Power plants began operation.

Asian countries' purchases of Western energy have drastically decreased.

Many large enterprises, factories, and other entities that previously relied on natural gas, oil, and other sources have switched to using electricity as their energy source.

As a result, the economies of the Western Countries suffered a severe shock, and all of this translated into dissatisfaction directed toward China.

Of course.

Whether they were satisfied or not was completely irrelevant to China.

The diplomatic official on the stage simply maintained a faint smile, ignored the other party's agitated emotions, and spoke calmly:

"I don't know if you are clear about all the treaties related to nuclear matters."

"These treaties all refer to nuclear fission, because only nuclear fission causes severe pollution, and failure brings extremely serious consequences."

"China has always upheld environmental protection, cleanliness, and efficiency, which is why we actively seek new clean energy sources."

"After mastering combustible ice extraction technology, we did not stop there, but continued to explore more efficient and cleaner energy, which is why we achieved a breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion technology."

The diplomatic official calmly explained the difference between Nuclear Fusion and nuclear fission.

Clarifying China's pursuit of environmental protection and cleanliness.

However, having reached this point, he looked at the reporters from the Western media, and his expression turned serious and solemn.

"China has always been actively exploring paths toward progress, whereas!"

"Certain countries!"

"Are disregarding the non-nuclear treaties they signed previously and are continuously expanding their nuclear projects."

"The faster their nuclear fission develops, the more nuclear pollution there will be, and the more severe it will become!"
