33: Chapter 33 This day belongs to the Xia Kingdom!

The research and development of Controlled Nuclear Fusion was officially declared a success. After being reported through various levels, the news finally reached the core of Xia Country.

"Controlled Nuclear Fusion research and development has succeeded!" the head of the Northern Region reported to the Grand Elder.

"Good, good, good!" the Grand Elder said the word "good" three times in a row, showing his satisfaction. "How long can it run continuously?"

"From last night until now, it has been running continuously for 10 hours, and everything is currently normal."

"According to the conclusion given by Su Fan, as long as there is deuterium gas, this reactor can keep running forever!" the head continued to report, his excitement evident in his voice.

"So it's not the kind of Controlled Nuclear Fusion with limited runtime, but actual Controlled Nuclear Fusion that has been achieved!" The Grand Elder was also very excited.

"That's right, it's real, sustainably operable Controlled Nuclear Fusion that can generate electricity indefinitely!" Zhang Jianjun, the person in charge, handed the documents in his hand to the Grand Elder. "This is Su Fan's report."

The Grand Elder took the materials and began to read them carefully.

"In addition, Su Fan would like to invite you to attend the Controlled Nuclear Fusion ignition ceremony the day after tomorrow."

"No problem. For such a major matter, I must go. Not only will I go, but the media must go as well. This ceremony must be held with the full prestige of Xia Country!" the Grand Elder said solemnly.

"Also, send additional troops to this Nanshan Base and have the satellites keep a close eye on it."

"Raise Su Fan's security level to the highest, using the same protection measures as mine."

"Yes!" Zhang Jianjun replied solemnly.

...

April 20th, Grain Rain Festival.

In the morning, the Grand Elder, who had just arrived at Nanshan Base, immediately went to the command center. Looking at the Controlled Nuclear Fusion device that was running continuously, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

Su Fan stood beside the Grand Elder, looking at this man in his late sixties with deep respect.

"The ceremony will require re-igniting the nuclear fusion in a bit, so it needs to be temporarily extinguished now," Su Fan said carefully.

"Alright, just follow your own pace. Young people should be bold in their thinking and actions," the Grand Elder said kindly.

Su Fan nodded heavily and pressed the stop button; the injection of deuterium gas ceased immediately.

Without the support of fuel, the nuclear fusion reaction stopped after a short while.

Taking this opportunity, Su Fan ordered the device to be checked a few more times. The ignition ceremony in a while would be broadcast live globally!

At this time, within Nanshan Base, officially authorized media outlets like Xin Xia News Agency and the People's Daily had all arrived. Of course, their activity areas were restricted.

At 8:00 AM, the live broadcast officially began.

There was no pre-heating for this live broadcast; Su Fan was prepared to give the world a surprise.

Today was Sunday, but Li Hua woke up early to study. He was a senior in high school.

As the college entrance exam approached, he had to seize every available moment.

Of course, he didn't just memorize things by rote; he had some study tips.

For example, right now, he turned on the latest Dami phone.

This phone had a 21,000 mAh battery and 300W fast charging, so there was absolutely no battery anxiety.

On the phone was the Xia Country Central News Channel. Li Hua watched various political and current affairs news seriously.

He watched half an hour of news every day—at night during school days and in the morning on holidays, without fail.

As a result, his Chinese and politics grades were excellent.

While he was watching today's news, the image on his phone suddenly changed.

"Hello, viewers. This is the Xia Country Central Television News Simulcast. I am Zhang Hui."

"Today, the deuterium-deuterium Controlled Nuclear Fusion, completely independently developed by our country's military enterprise Super God Group, will be officially ignited at Nanshan Base in Kirin County, Ningcheng City, Lu Province."

"The Grand Elder will be present on-site and will personally initiate the ignition!"

"Please watch the live broadcast now."

"Hello everyone, I am CMG reporter Wang Yubing, reporting live for you from Nanshan Base."

"The official ignition will take place in three minutes. Behind me is the ignition command center, where you can see the busy figures of the staff."

"Most people are likely aware of Controlled Nuclear Fusion. Currently, the mainstream research focuses on deuterium-tritium fusion, which is relatively simple to achieve."

"But Super God Group does not follow the beaten path. The Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactor being officially ignited this time is deuterium-deuterium fusion, which is much more difficult to realize."

"There are many benefits to deuterium-deuterium fusion."

"First, compared to tritium, deuterium has no radiation and is a clean fuel."

"Second is the reserves. The reserves of deuterium in the oceans of Planet Blue are enough for us to use for billions of years; it can be said to be inexhaustible!"

"Now, let's turn the camera to the command center. Our Controlled Nuclear Fusion is about to be officially ignited!"

The image on Li Hua's phone changed to the command center, where the Grand Elder was currently standing in front of the control console.

As the countdown ended, at exactly 8:00 AM.

"I announce that the Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactor independently developed by Xia Country will now begin ignition!"

After the Grand Elder finished his announcement, he pressed his hand heavily onto the red ignition button.

The screen switched at the right moment to a real-life view of the underground Controlled Nuclear Fusion device.

"The Controlled Nuclear Fusion developed by Super God Group does not require boiling water; it can directly convert the thermal energy generated by the fusion reaction into electrical energy, with energy loss being almost zero!" Wang Yubing continued to report.

"Everyone can see that lamp in the distance from the fusion device. That lamp is connected to the electricity generated by the Controlled Nuclear Fusion."

"Look, it's lit!"

"Controlled Nuclear Fusion has truly been achieved!"

"It has been achieved in the hands of us Xia Country people!"

"This day belongs to Xia Country! The future belongs to Xia Country!"

Wang Yubing's excited voice came from the phone, and Li Hua actually felt a bit teary-eyed.

Controlled Nuclear Fusion, once something far out of reach, has now been realized by Xia Country people!

Super God Group—I'll remember this company!

In Li Hua's heart, a seed was quietly planted!

When the Controlled Nuclear Fusion ignition succeeded, the popularity on the internet exploded instantly.

"Aaaaah! What did I just see! I witnessed the birth of Controlled Nuclear Fusion!"

"Super God Group is awesome! Our great motherland is awesome!"

"Our Xia Country is full of talent; there's nothing we can't do!"

"Witnessing history, witnessing a miracle!"

"At this great moment, I want to confess: Liu Ruyan, I love you!"

"I want to confess too! Yun Yun, my love for you is like the energy released after the deuterium in the seawater undergoes nuclear fusion, enough to last you until the end of time!"

"The guy upstairs is amazing, even leaching off this hype. This old man admits defeat!"

"Everyone, do you know what it means now that Controlled Nuclear Fusion has succeeded?"

"It means Controlled Nuclear Fusion succeeded!"

"Get lost, you upstairs! Be serious!"

"Does it mean electricity won't cost money in the future?"

"Holy crap, gas cars are completely finished!"

"Can we keep the air conditioning on all the time from now on?"

"Production costs for companies will be lower. Will prices drop in the future?"

In Xia Country, netizens were discussing it non-stop online. In reality, countless people were so excited they wished they could use the electricity generated by Controlled Nuclear Fusion immediately!

In stark contrast to Xia Country, people abroad were completely stunned.

"I just played a 3, and you throw a bomb?!"
