34: Chapter 34 International Reactions and the Deployment of Nuclear Power Plants

Eagle Nation.

Inside the Black House, a solemn atmosphere filled the entire conference room.

Everyone was seriously watching the live broadcast of the official ignition of the Great Xia's Controlled Nuclear Fusion on television.

"The people of Great Xia have achieved Controlled Nuclear Fusion, but what about us? What's the point of hoarding oil all day!"

"Are those scientists all eating shit!"

"This is Controlled Nuclear Fusion, and it's deuterium-deuterium fusion! Do you know how much deuterium there is on the Blue Star?"

"It's enough for the people of Great Xia to use for countless five-thousand-year periods!"

"Infinite energy! Infinite energy!"

"What should we do about this!"

Biden, in his seventies, slammed the table and roared in a fit of rage, making everyone worry if he might just drop dead from anger.

"Your Excellency Mr. President, it is clearly impossible to want to cooperate with Great Xia to develop Controlled Nuclear Fusion now. They cannot possibly agree; this is the key to opening the next industrial revolution."

"I propose uniting all countries to forcibly pressure Great Xia into handing over Controlled Nuclear Fusion!" a cabinet minister said forcefully.

"I do not agree with forced pressure. Even a rabbit bites when cornered, let alone a nuclear-armed rabbit. Among other countries, only Russia has some strength; the others are all small fries, not even enough for Great Xia to handle with one hand!"

"I suggest an exchange of interests to strive for joint development of Controlled Nuclear Fusion with Great Xia."

"How to exchange? What to exchange with? What do we have to trade?" The radical cabinet minister from earlier asked three questions in a row, leaving the conservatives speechless.

"If I were from Great Xia, I would absolutely never share Controlled Nuclear Fusion with other countries. This technology is too important, more important than chips!" The radical cabinet minister's emotions were a bit agitated.

"Enough! Stop arguing!" Biden roared. "We'll take both paths. Use chips and other technologies that Great Xia doesn't have to exchange for Controlled Nuclear Fusion technology. Ask them if they'll trade!"

"If they don't, then unite our forces and press the border! Move all the aircraft carriers over there!"

Russia.

"Great Xia has built a Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactor?!"

"What will happen to our oil!"

"Quick! Contact Great Xia, we request cooperation! Use all tradable resources to exchange for it!"

Japan.

"Baka!"

"The former Sick Man of East Asia actually built a Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactor; my Great Empire of Japan will absolutely not allow Great Xia to rise!"

"Quickly seek help from Father Eagle!"

South Korea.

"Great Xia stole our Great South Korea's technology; it's blatant theft!"

India.

"Immediately launch a project for Controlled Nuclear Fusion. We must overtake Great Xia within three years, build Controlled Nuclear Fusion, and become a permanent member of the UN Security Council in one fell swoop!"

Taiwan Province.

"We're finished!"

...

All countries in the world were shocked by Great Xia, and some free people cursed those government officials who took taxpayers' money but did nothing useful.

Of course, these had little to do with Su Fan. At this time, he was communicating with Zhao Jun, planning to build large-scale Controlled Nuclear Fusion power plants nationwide.

Zhao Jun was officially dispatched by the state to Su Fan's side, on one hand to protect Su Fan, and on the other to act as a spokesperson for Su Fan to contact the higher-ups.

"Currently, the annual power generation of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactor at Nanshan Base is about 100 billion kWh. To meet Great Xia's annual power consumption, at least 100 reactors of the same scale must be built," Su Fan analyzed for Zhao Jun.

"However, the reactor at Nanshan Base was, after all, the first one built, so the designed scale is relatively small."

"I can design larger-scale Controlled Nuclear Fusion reactors for power generation."

"I suggest that in the first phase, we build 10 large-scale fusion reactors with an annual power generation of 1 trillion kWh. They can directly replace electricity generated by other methods and meet the power needs of the whole country and most enterprises."

"In the second phase, build 90 large-scale fusion reactors with an annual power generation of 1 trillion kWh, injecting powerful energy into the overall development of Great Xia!"

"What does Chief Zhao think?"

"I will report to my superiors immediately and fully support you!" Zhao Jun said seriously. This was a good thing for the country and the people.

"Next is the price. The construction cost of a large-scale fusion power plant is not low. I have two charging schemes here," Su Fan continued.

"The first scheme: Super God Energy is responsible for investment and construction. In the future, the money from selling electricity will be split fifty-fifty between Super God Company and the State Grid."

"The second scheme: The state invests and purchases the fusion power plants built by Super God Group. Super God Group will not take a cut of the subsequent electricity fees but will need to be paid a technical consultation fee periodically. It's basically a one-off deal."

"Please report these two cooperation methods to the higher-ups, Chief Zhao, and give me an answer as soon as possible on which scheme they choose." Su Fan took a sip of water. He estimated that there was a ninety-nine percent chance the state would choose scheme two.

"Although private companies are now allowed to generate and connect to the grid, after all, how could a country's electrical energy share interests with Super God Group?"

Of course, he didn't care; there would be many times the state would come to him in the future!

"By the way, I have a requirement regarding the electricity price."

"After the 10 large-scale fusion power plants are built and put into operation, the electricity price can remain unchanged."

"But after 100 large-scale fusion power plants are built and put into operation, whether it's household or industrial electricity, the price must be unified nationwide at 1 cent per kWh!"

Su Fan's expression was serious. He was worried that some people would take advantage of the situation, compete for profits with the people, and line their own pockets!

"Okay, I will report it immediately!" Zhao Jun took notes of Su Fan's words in his notebook and then took his leave.

After Zhao Jun left, Su Fan sighed. There are always some people who treat state property as their own, having no self-awareness.

He silently opened the super god black technology system; Level 2 Civilization black technology still couldn't be purchased.

It seems there is still a distance before Blue Star becomes a Level 1 Civilization!

Must work harder!

Su Fan secretly cheered himself on, finished the ginseng and wolfberry tea in his thermos in one gulp, and stood up to walk towards the biology lab.

The gene optimization fluid must be developed as soon as possible; this trash body is getting worse day by day!

Working on Controlled Nuclear Fusion before had greatly delayed the research progress of the gene optimization fluid. Now he could only rely on working like crazy to make up for it.

...

Su Fan's words were soon reported by Zhao Jun, and the higher-ups quickly gave a reply. They adopted the second scheme, and the electricity price also met Su Fan's requirements.

They hoped Su Fan would start the construction of the first phase's 10 Controlled Nuclear Fusion power plants as soon as possible.

After receiving the news, Su Fan directly arranged for Red Queen to send the information on the large-scale Controlled Nuclear Fusion power plants to Ma Baoxia and let him lead the construction.

He himself continued to dive into the biology lab, researching the gene optimization fluid.

The gene optimization fluid was too important. It would be Su Fan's bargaining chip for a period of time, so he would not let anyone else participate in the research.

Since ancient times, longevity has always been the ultimate pursuit of mankind. No one would refuse an extra 100 years of life when their life is about to run out.

Ancient emperors sought longevity through alchemy, but no one succeeded.

Now, Su Fan was refining medicine for longevity, and he was about to succeed!
