Beijing.
Inside an ordinary apartment building on the Third Ring Road.
A family of four sat around the dining table as they ate dinner.
If this was any other year, there would be one person sitting here.
However, this person was in Haizhou, Jiangsu Province, and he hadn't returned yet.
"Grandma, where's grandpa? Is he not coming to eat? "
A little girl with a ponytail sat at the dining table. She tilted her head and spoke in a cute voice.
Looking at her precious granddaughter, the white-haired Wu Haiyan smiled and said.
"Honey, do you miss grandpa?"
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded and said, "What did grandpa go to do?"
When Wu Haiyan heard this cute voice, the smile on her face became even more kind. She patted her granddaughter's hair and spoke in a loving voice.
"Your grandpa is planting suns with everyone."
The little girl blinked innocently and asked curiously, "Planting suns? Can suns be planted too? "
"Of course." Wu Haiyan patted her granddaughter's hair and said, "Your grandpa is a scientist, there's nothing he can't do."
Pan Gaoyang sat on the other side of the dining table. He looked at his elderly mother and daughter and spoke while eating.
"You're already retired, why are you still so busy? Tomorrow is New Year's Day."
Wu Haiyan knew what her son was talking about, so she sighed and said, "After all, that's your father's lifelong wish."
Pan Gaoyang said, "I know, but he shouldn't be this busy."
Even though he said this, he actually understood his father.
Just like his mother said, this was his lifelong wish, and he had worked hard for most of his life for this wish.
However, controllable fusion was a futuristic science. Research that was ahead of its time was not that easy.
What's more, even the Westerners couldn't make heads or tails of this stuff. It wasn't an easy task to catch up and surpass them to be at the forefront of the world.
Suddenly, the clock on the wall pointed to seven o 'clock, and the news broadcast began to play on the TV.
Pan Gaoyang hadn't watched TV for a long time, and he wasn't interested in the news. Therefore, he didn't pay attention to what the TV was saying.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard his daughter's scream.
"Wow! It's Grandpa! Grandpa is on TV! "
On TV?
Pan Gaoyang was stunned and subconsciously looked at the image on the TV.
The TV was playing a short video of the demonstration reactor control room.
The old man in the gray jacket standing in the corner of the camera with tears on his face, wasn't that his father?
Wait, ignition experiment?
Grid connection within the year?
How come he had never heard his father mention this before?
Did he … succeed?
Controllable fusion?!
Pan Gaoyang was shocked as he listened to the announcer's narration.
Sitting next to him, his daughter curiously looked at the TV screen and said in a childish voice.
"Is the big brother standing next to Grandpa the Professor Lu that Grandpa always talks about?"
"Big brother?" Hearing his daughter's voice, Pan Gaoyang paused for a second and looked at the young man's back. He then smiled and said, "… Indeed, he looks quite young."
His wife, who was sitting next to him, laughed and said, "Look at him, he won the Nobel Prize in his twenties. What were you doing in your twenties?"
Pan Gaoyang smiled at his wife's teasing and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Did you forget? Of course I'm chasing you. "
Cui Xuefang looked at her lover and blushed. She rolled her eyes at him.
"What a glib tongue."
On the other side, the little girl stared at the TV screen with sparkling eyes. She had not spoken for a long time. Suddenly, she looked up at her father and said in a childish but extremely serious voice, "Dad, I want to be a scientist when I grow up!"
Pan Gaoyang smiled and rubbed his daughter's hair.
"Okay okay okay, whatever you want to be, Dad will support you! But it's not that easy to be a scientist. "
He clenched his fists, and his childish face puffed up.
"I'll work hard!"
Pan Gaoyang laughed and said, "Not bad, you're ambitious. Since you're so confident, then you should start with getting two hundred marks on your next exam! "
…
While the news was broadcasting this news, the demonstration reactor STAR2 official Weibo account, which had only been registered for a few hours, posted a Weibo post.
The Weibo post was very short, so short that it didn't seem like it was a good news post. It only had four words and one punctuation.
Live up to expectations!
In less than an hour, this Weibo post was reposted by dozens of research institutes across the country, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It was also reposted by Everyone Daily and many other media outlets. It was even accompanied by an explanation.
Just like the ignited fusion fire.
The news of the successful experiment spread out at an incredible speed in the Divine Great Land as if it had grown wings.
When people heard about this news.
Almost everyone was stunned by this amazing result.
F * ck me, controllable nuclear fusion!!! I can't believe I saw controllable nuclear fusion in my lifetime!!!
I woke up and saw the demonstration reactor igniting. I was shocked. Who can tell me what year it is? How long have I been asleep?
Even though I don't understand it, it looks amazing!
Strong technology makes a country strong! Made in China V5! (fist) (fist) (fist)
To all the scientists who are still working on New Year's Eve, you've worked hard!!! (touched) (touched) (touched)
Jin Ling University sent a congratulatory message! I'm cheering for my idol!!!
The people of Jiangsu sent a congratulatory message! He welcomed the reduction of electricity prices and looked proudly at the people of Zhejiang Province.
The people of Zhejiang Province sent a congratulatory message! Then he gave the upstairs a funny look. Anyway, we can use it soon.
This doesn't make sense. Why isn't anyone buying the trending searches today? (laughing)
Isn't it good to be alive? (dog emoji)
…
There were also discordant voices that questioned whether or not this technology was worth it. They questioned whether or not this technology was as good as imagined. They even doubted whether or not the ignition was a success …
However, these voices had never been mainstream, and they would never become mainstream.
Just like how science was pure.
Exploration of the future, no matter when, was always worthy of respect.
After all, most people still yearned for a better future.
It wasn't just Everyone Daily and the China Academy of Sciences that were being bombarded by netizens.
After Lu Zhou found out who the chief designer of the demonstration reactor project was, his last Weibo post was also bombarded by netizens.
God Lu is nutty!
666！
Show some respect. Don't these stupid fans know what's going on? What God Lu, do you think you can call him that? You should call him Chief Designer Lu! It's Chief Designer Lu! (crazy) (crazy) (crazy)
In ancient times, Hou Yi shot the sun. Today, God Lu planted the sun!
Senior!!! This is so annoying!!!
God Lu, God Lu, did you find a girlfriend? If not, have you ever thought about a boyfriend?
？？？
However, unlike usual, the approachable Professor Lu who loved to share his joy with his fans didn't interact with the netizens this time.
Usually, even if he was lurking around, if someone praised him in the comments section for his good looks, he would secretly like it …
However, today, no matter how the fans tried to trick Lu Zhou, they just wanted Lu Zhou to secretly like them, then take a screenshot to show off … The person they were hoping for didn't appear.
Maybe he's too busy?
Almost everyone thought the same thing.
After all, he wasn't an ordinary mathematics professor anymore. He was responsible for tens of billions of yuan of scientific research projects. Especially after he became the chief designer of the controllable fusion project, he probably didn't have much time to play with them anymore.
However, when he remembered his Weibo account and saw the comments, he would probably smile, right?
That was what many people thought when they saw the interesting comments.
