Chapter 298 Academician Xiao
Another few weeks passed.
The American people elected their new president, and not surprisingly, this new president is from Democratic Party. With his help, the current president's party ultimately lost the election.
However, the president did not express anger or regret, but said, "Congratulations to the American people for electing the leader they want."
It sounds like a strange thing, but not many people can see what the president is thinking.
As people say, after so many years of political career, the president has lost his businessman mentality and turned into a real politician.
But now, the politician has discovered that his twelve-year political career has not fully achieved the goal he wanted to achieve, which is to solve the deep-rooted political problems he once said.
Now he has given up this purpose.
Of course, the president did not completely ignore things after that. After all, he still had about two months left in his term, and during this period, he also had to deal with a lot of people.
For example, the current main person in charge of JNEO Organization is Steven Cowley.
Steven Cowley was the one he appointed at the beginning, but it was discovered some time ago that this guy actually spent the money he gave JNEO to study nuclear fusion to support Democratic Party. He didn't even know what means were used to get Utah to vote against them. Although there was only one vote, Utah only had 5 votes in total.
In this general election, they were only 2 votes behind, so this vote was particularly conspicuous.
As a result, Cowley was removed from the position of chairman of JNEO Organization. Although this was what he had always dreamed of, the slight difference was that he was directly taken away by the FBI for investigation.
Of course, he was not very timid at first. After all, he had already prepared for this matter. Democratic Party had promised him that he would be released after the new president took office. After all, he could be regarded as having the merit of following the dragon.
As a result, the current president has said harsh words that he will never be released, and he will definitely be sentenced to no parole at that time.
He immediately regretted it, and only then did he realize that there was absolutely no way that he, a scientist, would end well if he participated in such a thing.
Of course, although the main reason for his arrest was that he was involved in such things, it still had a great impact on JNEO Organization.
JNEO has been working on it for more than a year. Although it is still a long way from actually achieving nuclear fusion, it cannot be said that there has been no results.
As the chairman of the board, Cowley still did a lot of practical things.
But now that he was caught, the person who knew JNEO best was gone. The next successor was also rushed to the shelves in a very confused way. Although the person who took over as chairman was the previous vice chairman, he was in charge of administration and did not know much about science. The other scientists in JNEO Organization obviously would not be convinced by this new chairman.
All of a sudden, JNEO Organization was shut down and could no longer be maintained.
As soon as the news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
The Americans were the first to curse. Wouldn't this be tantamount to directly and completely destroying their chances of developing controllable nuclear fusion in the future?
People in Europe don't do it anymore. No, buddies, we invested all our money and the venue was built at your place. Why do you do this kind of thing?
That's tens of billions of things!
Of course, Mr. President also has something to say at this time. They invested the most money in JNEO Organization, not to mention that it has only been more than a year now, so much money may not have all been received. The tens of millions of them are related to these countries, which is too much. People from these countries are calling it as if all their money has been stolen.
As a result, these countries started to quarrel over this matter, and for a while it became a very delicious melon, allowing people from other theater-watching countries to watch with great interest.
Various domestic video platform UP owners in China also summarized this incident, which caused a lot of jokes.
Just like when Lao Chang used the money given by Truman to support Dewey, it became a matter of ridicule among many netizens.
Of course, after that, the elected president stood up and said, don't worry, these things will be resolved when he takes office, and JNEO Organization will still be maintained.
Later, some media came forward and said that the outgoing president was just using the traditional performing skills of each president before he leaves office, and the next president is a hostile party, that is, to cause trouble for the next president and leave a mess.
It's just that the mess left behind this time is a little bigger. It has offended so many countries at once. Although it may not be hundreds of millions, tens of millions of funds are not a small amount. It will definitely not be a small matter in diplomacy by then.
In addition to the issue of money, the most important thing is the technology of nuclear fusion.
For so long, as more and more nuclear fusion reactors have been built in China, related news has appeared frequently in news from other countries. Citizens of countless other countries have expressed dissatisfaction with their governments. Why can't they use nuclear fusion yet? Look how long people in China have been enjoying it?!
Of course, some seemingly neutral countries have been in private contact with China, expressing their hope to invite Chinese engineers to build nuclear fusion reactors there.
For example, countries in the Middle East, or some countries in Southeast Asia, as well as neighbors to the north and some small countries in the southwest.
However, no matter how high the price offered by these countries, China rejected them all.
Anyway, in one sentence, no other country will be able to obtain any technology related to nuclear fusion for at least five years.
Not even giving money.
It will be five years before China will begin to consider the possibility of selling nuclear fusion reactors to other countries. As for the technology, it will definitely not be sold.
As long as China's technology is not leaked, the distance from foreign countries to realizing nuclear fusion will be an eternity of fifty years, and it will not change.
But obviously, the possibility of technology leakage is too low, and basically it will not happen.
Of course, for this reason, if other countries want to obtain nuclear fusion technology, they can only rely on the JNEO project.
That's why the impact of Steven Cowley's ouster has been so great.
However, with the passage of time, netizens may have mainly viewed China as a joke at first, but gradually, their attention has not been as high.
Just laugh when you hear it occasionally. Instead of paying attention to this matter, it is better to pay attention to where the nuclear fusion reactors under construction in China have been built, when will you be able to actually use the electricity generated by nuclear fusion, and when will the electricity price be completely reduced?
No matter how big the international affairs are, the livelihood of the people around us is the most important.
Of course, perhaps because it heard the voices of many ordinary people, or perhaps because it was time to make changes based on cost budgeting and control plans, the country officially launched interim measures for national electricity price adjustment.
The national average price of electricity will be uniformly reduced to 1 cent per unit of electricity.
Then the actual electricity price will be adjusted according to the actual situation in each place, which naturally depends on the electricity consumption and nature of electricity consumption in each place.
As soon as this announcement came out, there was an upsurge across the country, which was extremely lively.
Hot searches like Weibo were immediately filled with the popularity of this news.
Netizens from all walks of life expressed their opinions enthusiastically.
[I am super! I'm super! I'm super! When I woke up, such a big thing really happened? Oh my god, isn't this cool?]
[Invincible! One penny per kilowatt-hour of electricity, and my mother no longer has to worry about me having no money to pay for air conditioning electricity in the summer!]
[It's okay, the landlord in Pengcheng will still charge you 1.5 kWh for electricity.]
[Damn it, report it to him, he is trying to steal the country's wool, right?]
[And everyone should note that this is only a temporary measure, which means that it will be changed in the future. According to various news, it is very likely that in the future, it will be completely free of charge to adjust directly to the number of kilowatt hours of electricity used, and then start charging after it exceeds a certain amount of electricity. The free amount should be the normal electricity consumption of a family every month, which means that in the future, household electricity may be completely free!]
[Is it possible to be free of money in the future? It seems that I have to live longer in this life so that I can use more free electricity.]
[Good guy, what you said does make sense. It seems that I have to pay attention to my health from tomorrow. Otherwise, if I use one year less free electricity than others, won't I be at a loss?]
[It is finally going to be officially reduced. To be honest, our electricity bill has been reduced to 1.5 cents. If it is reduced to 1 cent now, it is equivalent to a direct reduction of 15 times, awesome!]
[I guess the country has been calculating costs before, and now it has finally determined that one penny is the lowest affordable cost price.]
[Wouldn't it be faster if Scholar Xiao could handle this kind of thing?]
[Good guy, I asked Scholar Xiao to study nuclear fusion, and also asked Scholar Xiao to calculate the price of nuclear fusion after it is developed. Even a donkey would not be able to do this.]
[Maybe this is the so-called hard work for the able.]
[No more talking, Scholar Xiao is awesome!]
[Scholar Xiao is awesome!]
Below are a bunch of Scholar Xiao awesome ones brushed up.
Anyway, as long as there is news related to nuclear fusion, netizens will basically use [Scholar Xiao awesome]. After all, everyone knows that nuclear fusion was developed by Scholar Xiao.
All in all, the people of China are celebrating, and this electricity price plan will be implemented from next month, October 1st, which happens to be the National Day. This can be regarded as a National Day gift to the people of the country.
However, when China was celebrating, people from abroad broke through.
[What? The electricity bill is only 0.21 yen per kilowatt hour? How is it possible? How did they do it?]
[One hundred kilowatt hours of electricity only costs 14 cents? Hou Li Xie Te, how is this possible?!]
[I want to go to China. The electricity bill is so cheap. This is the power of nuclear fusion!]
[Oh my God, there is even news from China that they may cancel the electricity bill for household electricity in the future and make household electricity completely free!]
[This is the real advanced civilization! On the other hand, our electricity bill is a money grab! It's even more exaggerated than buying for zero yuan!]
[What is this? When you encounter a snowstorm, you will continue to be taught a lesson, and you will also be educated by your mayor.]
[I want to go to China, does anyone have a way?]
[China is the most difficult country in the world to issue green cards to foreigners, so you should stop dreaming.]
[What about illegal immigration? Can we enter from their borders?]
[Haha, you are a foreigner who cannot speak Chinese, want to walk in a country full of Asian faces, and then you are still an illegal immigrant? At that time, you will be like a guy covered in fluorescent liquid that seems to glow wherever you go.]
[Fake! Why haven't our scientists developed nuclear fusion yet? What is our government doing? Is this how they treat us taxpayers?]
[Is there a possibility that it is not that they treat us taxpayers like this, but that it is simply because of their stupidity that they are completely unable to research controllable nuclear fusion?]
[I am a member of JNEO Organization. I think what you said is too much. We have been working very hard on research, but nuclear fusion is not something that can be easily researched. I hope you can understand this, instead of being sarcastic like now. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't, don't talk nonsense here.]
This person from JNEO suddenly appeared and immediately became a vent for many foreign netizens. People from those countries who had invested money in JNEO began to angrily criticize him on the spot.
[No, you are just stupid, so stupid that so many of you can't even compare to each other. Researching nuclear fusion is your responsibility, not ours, and now you have completely failed to achieve this goal.]
[You are trash! Absolute trash! Do you understand? The meals you eat and the treatment you enjoy at JNEO include a tax paid by me. However, you have not made any research progress so far, so go and eat shit!]
[...]
Ever since, the incident about the suspension of JNEO Organization, which had been making waves abroad, started to make trouble again because of this incident. In the end, the JNEO member who appeared had no choice but to directly close all the private message channels and hide completely.
This also made foreign politicians very angry at China's move.
Although it is difficult to say whether Hua Guo announced such a thing at this time intentionally or accidentally, but no matter what, it is more or less a conspiracy.
An honest conspiracy.
After all, who said that only China has this kind of technology?
However, no matter how the world reacts to this matter, for Xiao Yi, it is no longer his concern.
During this period of time, he took another good vacation for himself, perhaps because the previous breaks gave him a good experience.
Of course, sometimes he also found that giving himself a vacation and then starting to think about problems again could often bring him some completely different inspirations.
Maybe he was able to handle Riemann Hypothesis, partly because the previous rest gave him a different experience.
In this way, the time came to the second half of November.
The selection of additional academicians for the new year has ended, and his name is clearly on the list of academicians of the two academies.
In other words, he can now call it Academician Xiao.
