"100 meters …"
"50 meters …"
"20 meters …"
"Landing successful!"
As the value on the height counter turned to 0, the huge silver-white device finally landed steadily on the surface of the lunar soil. From a distance, it looked like a steel seal printed on a project acceptance contract.
Gathered next to the cylindrical building, the people in spacesuits burst into excited cheers.
Although these cheers could only echo in the communication channel, it did not weaken the excitement in people's hearts.
After several months of hard work, there was finally a result at this moment.
"It's finally done …"
The engineer, who inserted the fixed bracket into the surface of the lunar soil and operated the construction equipment, looked at the towering fusion power station not far away. He couldn't help but show a trace of complexity in his eyes.
Unlike most people here, he was not from Earth; he was a native of the Moon.
Although he had been to Earth several times, the gravity there really made him uncomfortable, and he didn't like the "rude" tourists on Earth.
When the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion experimental reactor project was just established, he was also one of the strikers who firmly opposed it.
Even though his knowledge told him that the pulsed magnetic field was almost impossible to threaten the health of the people of Guanghan City, even though he knew very well that the local media was fanning the flames, he still stood up as an opponent.
First of all, everyone was doing this. Second of all, he really disliked those people from Earth.
However, in recent months, his feelings had indeed changed a lot.
Not only because East Asia Power took in a large number of refugees from Guanghan City during the war, but also because of the relief materials provided by those East Asia Power and the attitudes of those who extended a helping hand to them.
He couldn't help but feel guilty about all of this.
No matter how stiff the relationship between the two sides was, the feeling of blood connection still made the other side regard them as compatriots and extend a helping hand to them.
Later, he began to try to put aside his prejudices and take the initiative to contact those people from Earth that he was once unwilling to contact.
Because of his work, after several months of getting along, he suddenly found that his prejudices were so ridiculous. Those engineers and other staff from Earth were essentially no different from them.
Now, he had no choice but to admit that his hot-bloodedness back then had been completely used …
In fact, this was not only his thoughts, but the citizens of Guanghan City were experiencing similar ideological struggles.
Although there were also a small number of people who stubbornly believed that it was a sugar-coated bullet fired by East Asia Power, trying to corrupt their iron will, the vast majority of people still changed their minds from opponents of the second-generation controllable fusion project to supporters of this plan.
At the very least, even if they didn't express their support, they were standing in a neutral position.
Thanks to the change in the minds of these people, the experimental base was not harassed for an entire year.
Before that, Jia Siyuan clearly remembered that many people were clamoring at that time, forcing the authorities of Guanghan City to cut off the water and power supply to "Nuwa City" and drive away those experts who studied second-generation fusion technology from the moon.
Although Jia Siyuan had never worried about these small problems from the beginning, now that he thought about it, it was quite interesting …
Looking at Xie Tian standing next to him, Jia Siyuan asked casually in a chatting tone.
"When the ignition project is over, what are you going to do?"
"Of course, I'm going back to Earth to reunite with my family." Xie Tian smiled and said, "I haven't hugged them for a whole year."
The experiment of second-generation controllable fusion technology had come to an end. According to the design ideas provided by Academician Lu, the reborn East Asia Power once again created a miracle!
A month ago, they completed the pulsed magnetic field experiment and successfully confined a mass of plasma with a temperature of tens of billions of degrees through the pulsed magnetic field.
Although this number sounded a little exaggerated, they had indeed achieved it!
Now there was only one last step away from successful ignition, which was to open the gate, inject helium-3 and deuterium fuel into the reaction chamber, and then press the ignition switch.
At that time, the reactor would release energy beyond that of a star, satisfying all their fantasies about future energy.
Originally, they planned to inform the world of this good news immediately, but because Lu Zhou wanted to give the people of the world a surprise, the good news was postponed for a few days.
Back then, in order to complete the Pangu project before the New Year, scholars in China worked day and night to finally complete the ignition time on the night before New Year's Day.
Now they had completed all the work before the New Year, just to pick an auspicious day to complete the final ignition. In a sense, this was also a kind of progress …
At this time, the voice of the frontline engineer came from the communication channel.
A skilled engineer was directing the construction team to carry out the final installation of the cylindrical space equipment that had been deployed.
"Slow down, this is a high-power laser emission array that has integrated 200 million dot-matrix laser devices. Be careful not to damage the parts inside!"
Hearing the voice coming from the communication channel, Jia Siyuan cast a curious look over there and asked casually.
"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, is that thing also part of the second-generation controllable fusion device?"
He was from the Electromagnet Research Institute. He was mainly responsible for the design of the magnetic field, so he didn't know much about this kind of optical equipment.
What puzzled him was that wasn't the laser device used for ignition already integrated on the nuclear core? Why was there a need to install such a large laser array?
Hearing his colleague's question, Xie Tian shook his head.
"It has nothing to do with the second-generation controllable fusion device itself."
"Then this is …"
The expression on Jia Siyuan's face became even more puzzled. However, before he could finish the question, a smile appeared on Xie Tian's face and he continued.
"It's part of the cross-regional power grid plan.
"At the same time, it is also our gift to the world!"
At the same time, at the headquarters of the East Asia Power on Earth, Tang Yunge, who was sitting in the office of the scientific research director, had just received good news from the frontline.
The high-power laser array had been deployed and successfully docked with the reactor!
The moment he heard the news, he stood up from his chair and sat down several times excitedly, rubbing his hot palms. For a while, he didn't know how to vent the joy in his heart.
"By the way, I have to report this good news to Academician Lu as soon as possible!"
Compared to him, who only did some minor work, Academician Lu was the biggest contributor to this second-generation controllable fusion project!
He knocked his right fist on his left hand. He immediately opened the holographic screen on his desk, flipped to the name in the address book, and reported the good news to Lu Zhou.
Although it was only a one-sentence message, the phone call took half an hour.
When he put down the phone, the excitement on his face had turned into anticipation and fascination.
All the preparations were ready!
Next, he just had to wait for that day to come!
