As Jiang Chen expected, the Ye family and the Liu family came to him and asked about the difficulty of building a nuclear fusion power station in the country. When they heard that helium-3 from the Moon was needed as a nuclear material, they didn't mention it again. Instead, they asked if Future Group had any research on controllable fusion.
If helium-3 and deuterium fusion were the second generation of nuclear fusion power generation technology, then deuterium and tritium were the first generation technology. Although the generated nuclear waste was difficult to deal with, all the raw materials could be obtained from the ocean, and there was no need to rely on importing helium-3 from Celestial Trade.
The two countries were brothers in blood and culture, but not without reservations.
Hua wouldn't allow the necessary domestic energy to rely on foreign imports, especially when this energy was monopolized by one party unless there was no better choice.
Jiang Chen also wouldn't sell the first-generation nuclear fusion technology. Therefore, on the phone with Liu Xiangguo, he euphemistically stated that Future Group had no research on controllable fusion of deuterium-tritium and ended the topic.
Regardless of whether Liu Xiangguo believed it or not, the facts were there, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Just as Future Group was in the limelight internationally because of "long-distance wireless transmission" and "controllable nuclear fusion", and the leaders of various countries were re-examining the bilateral relationship with Xin, another deep water bomb was thrown onto the stage of the international community and completely stole the headlines of Future Group.
At nine o 'clock in the evening on April 7, 2019, EU Foreign Minister Mogherini suddenly announced that the future EU would no longer be scattered, but would be a united and powerful whole.
Or rather, a country.
…
On the beach north of Coro Island, a private island surrounded by sand and palm trees. An elegant and chic wooden mansion was located in the middle of the island. Under the rising sun, it looked like it was plated with a layer of golden sand.
Occasionally, Jiang Chen chose to come here for a vacation to relax.
After the long-distance transmission ceremony on the morning of April 1st and the speech in the afternoon, he flew here by helicopter with Ayesha and Xia Shiyu. And now, it was only the third day of the vacation.
If everything went according to plan, the entire Coro Island should be filled with high-level officials from all over the world, countless foreign reporters, and scientific experts and scholars … These people must want to meet with him, but Jiang Chen obviously wouldn't let them have their way. At this time, the best way to deal with the problem was to give himself a break and wait for the attention of the international community to fade away before making further plans.
But what Jiang Chen didn't expect was that everything would happen so quickly.
In the living room of the mansion, Jiang Chen, who was watching the EU foreign minister speaking on TV, fell into deep thought.
Natasha had planned to come here for a vacation with them, but because of the news, she had to fly back to Moscow overnight.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and carefully recalled. When she left, her expression seemed a little solemn? And she seemed to have said that since the Cold War, the whole of Eastern Europe had not been so close to the edge of war …
But why?
It was clearly just a decision made within the EU. What was the connection between this and the war?
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. With only limited information, he still couldn't analyze the situation.
Ghost Agents had cooperated with the KGB in Frankberg for a long time, but there had been no good news, which also made him feel a little anxious. The situation seemed to be developing in an unexpected direction. However, he couldn't get any reference from the future because the two were not in the same timeline at all.
At this moment, Ayesha, in a swimsuit, brought milk and freshly baked bread, and put the plate on the coffee table in front of Jiang Chen. Ayesha gently sat next to Jiang Chen, kissed him on the cheek, and said softly.
"Let's eat first."
Jiang Chen's eyebrows relaxed, he smiled, and kissed her on the cheek in response. "Mhmm."
"Showing off your love so early in the morning, can you control yourself?" Xia Shiyu, in pajamas, walked out of the bedroom, reached out, and combed her black hair. She looked at Ayesha, who was only wearing a swimsuit, and pouted with jealousy.
Of course, she wasn't really jealous of Ayesha.
After almost half a year of getting along, she seemed to have become accustomed to the life of the three of them together. On the one hand, it was because of Ayesha's concept and personality, and the two got along very well in daily life.
On the other hand, it was purely because of Jiang Chen's desire, and it was becoming more and more difficult for her to satisfy him alone …
"Do you want it too?"
Jiang Chen looked at her with a cheeky smile and shamelessly extended his face.
"What the hell!"
Xia Shiyu leaned closer to Jiang Chen's face and "ruthlessly" bit on his ear. After hearing the "painful" cry, she turned around with satisfaction and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
After breakfast together, the three went to the beach together, set up a sun umbrella, moved a cold drink cart, and beach chairs, and spread a beach mat on the sand.
The sun in the morning was not hot. With the salty sea breeze, they could even feel a hint of coolness.
Lying on the beach mat, Xia Shiyu reluctantly accepted Jiang Chen's help and applied sunscreen on her body. Then she laid on the beach mat, lazily basking in the sun while leisurely watching Ayesha take his hand and run to the beach.
"I've been too lazy recently." She whispered, and her fingers gently slid down her wrist. A layer of light blue light spread out, and the boot screen of the Future phone appeared in front of her.
Although she was on vacation, she was the CEO of Future Group after all, and she habitually checked work emails every morning, noon, and night.
Xia Shiyu opened the Jane Office, took a sip of the cold drink, and flipped through the emails and selected the content that needed to be replied to.
"Rare earth deposits were found in the lunar colony, and the reserves of rare earth elements such as niobium, yttrium, and dysprosium are about three million tons …" Xia Shiyu was shocked when she saw this.
Because Future Group's subsidiaries were involved in the mining industry, she still had some understanding of the rare earth market. As a major country in rare earth resources, Hua's domestic rare earth reserves accounted for 36% of the world's proven reserves, which was 36 million tons.
What was the concept of 3 million tons in the lunar colony?
India's domestic reserves of rare earth resources were 3.1 million tons, ranking fifth in the world. The mineral deposits discovered on the Moon colony had almost surpassed the rare earth reserves of all of India.
"No wonder the moon is a big pile of gold. How is this gold? It's even more valuable than gold." Xia Shiyu curled up the corner of her mouth, thought for a while, and commented on the email. She annotated this message as B-level confidential and recorded it into the database of Future Group.
Now because of nuclear fusion power generation, there were too many jealous eyes focused on Future Group and Celestial Trade. At this time, if the lunar colony discovered a rare earth mineral deposit, some people would really jump out and make some moves.
The pace of the announcement should be slowed down, and it would not be too late to announce it after the mining was done.
Just as Xia Shiyu threw this email aside and browsed down the list, an email suddenly caught her attention.
