Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

After the celebration.

A dinner was held at a state-owned hotel in the capital.

Mo Dao and Qin Huaishi attended together, and the old leader sat at the same table as Mo Dao, sitting next to Mo Dao.

During the dinner, the old leader had a brief chat with Mo Dao. The two of them didn't talk about any official business and just chatted for a while.

"Academician Mo, I still want to thank you again."

"Whether it is controllable nuclear fusion or China's two decades of great construction, I cannot accomplish it alone, nor is it my contribution alone."

Mo Dao smiled and responded.

Just like the life as the spiritual leader of the Kelna youth,

The changes he brings are certain.

But from controllable nuclear fusion to the achievements made in the past two decades of construction, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on him alone.

From the end-flow model to the design of the controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, and now to the Suiren demonstration reactor.

What is needed is thousands of researchers, thousands of technicians, construction personnel, and hundreds of cooperative units.

From the Suiren Demonstration Reactor to the recent ultra-large commercial reactor in Kyushu,

The implementation of a series of mega-projects during the twenty-year construction period has resulted in a series of achievements.

What is needed is a strong country.

This is the result of Chief Master Changyedui spending a lifetime thinking about it.

It is also the creation of countless people’s twenty years of hard work.

To put it more bluntly, it is impossible for Mo Dao to rub a demonstration pile with his bare hands within twenty years.

It is impossible to cast a spell and make the whole country suddenly look new.

After the realization of controllable nuclear fusion, such earth-shaking changes can be achieved in twenty years.

To a large extent, it is because China is already strong.

In the hands of small countries, controllable nuclear fusion technology was born, and whether it can be maintained is a question.

"You are right, Academician Mo. This is an achievement achieved by everyone's hard work, but I still want to thank you for giving us all a chance to work hard."

The old leader paused and then said to Mo Dao with a smile.

During the banquet.

Some leaders and personnel from other countries also came to Mo Dao to talk with him.

Although people in many countries may wish that Mo Dao would die suddenly,

But when he actually faced Mo Dao, his face was still full of smiles.

"Mr. Mo, you are really a great scientific researcher. Your work has changed the whole world."

…

In October, after the grand celebration.

The ongoing discussion has been going on online and in person for a long time.

Many people inside and outside China are curious about whether China at this moment can challenge the entire world alone.

It's just a pity that it is difficult to see such a scene, including a country in America, which has been particularly reasonable and moderate in recent years.

In the past, during the development process, China Federation of Nations inevitably had some frictions with all parties.

Now these frictions are basically gone, and no one mentions them anyway.

After the discussions related to the celebration gradually calmed down.

The last two months of 1948 have still not been spent completely peacefully.

In this special year, the last year of twenty-year construction,

It is destined to be magnificent and memorable.

…

November.

The power department, which had been quiet for a while, once again held a press conference with higher-level departments.

Announced plans to further adjust electricity prices.

Many years ago, when the five-year electricity price adjustment plan was first completed, the power sector's commitment

Many people already have some expectations for this matter,

But at this moment, when it actually arrives, most people are still happy.

"Based on the electricity consumption situation of most residents in China in recent years, we judge that the existing electricity price situation may no longer meet the electricity needs of most people."

"Adhering to the goal of allowing most residents and most enterprises to further reduce electricity and energy costs and further release productivity. It also fulfills the original commitment to further adjust electricity prices."

"We will expect further adjustments to electricity prices based on existing electricity prices within three years."

"The expected goal is that the first-tier electricity consumption quota for residents, that is, the free electricity quota, will be adjusted from the original 200 kilowatt hours per household per month to 1,000 kilowatt hours per household per month. The price of electricity exceeding the quota will be adjusted to 0.3 cents per kilowatt hour. "

"The price of commercial and industrial electricity will be adjusted to 0.8 cents per kilowatt hour."

For most people, this adjustment can’t actually save much money every month. After all, it is already low enough, but they are still happy.

For some large electricity consumers in the industrial field in this era, it can save a considerable amount of costs.

At this time when commercial reactors that have solved the problem of tritium breeding have become fully popular,

For China, most of the cost of electricity is actually mainly in the construction of transportation lines and the cost of power transmission.

Otherwise, deuterium in deuterium-tritium fusion is obtained by electrolysis, and tritium is obtained by self-sustaining consumption of lithium. The cost of power generation itself is actually very low.

But it doesn’t matter. The construction of lines is also an industrial output, and it also consumes electricity.

In this era, electricity consumption is basically low cost.

…

Then, in December,

The official announced an item that is not directly related to the development of science and technology.

But it is also a measure that symbolizes the major construction changes in the past two decades.

"From January 1, the 12-year free education system will be fully realized, and localities are agreed and encouraged to carry out 15-year or 16-year free education on their own."

It seems a bit late to implement twelve years of free education at this moment,

but China's size requires more resources than a small country.

More importantly, the free education at this moment is truly free education.

Not only tuition is free, but also miscellaneous fees, and food and accommodation are subsidized.

In some particularly wealthy places, students even get money from their families when they study.

The most important thing is that although twelve years of free education was not fully implemented before,

many places have actually implemented this measure.

Now, it is equivalent to taking a step further and opening the door to fifteen years of free education.

The announcement at this moment can be regarded as adding another festive atmosphere to the completion of the twenty-year construction.

…

Finally, time entered the New Year's Day.

In the New Year's Day TV speech,

the old leader also called Mo Dao together to face the people of China together.

"Today, we have concluded the last year of the 20-year construction."

"This magnificent history of 20 years began with the breakthrough of controlled nuclear fusion technology by the team led by Academician Mo Dao, and it is also based on controlled nuclear fusion technology."

"So today, I also invited Academician Mo Dao to witness and announce the arrival of this moment together."

While speaking, the old leader smiled and saluted Mo Dao.

Mo Dao smiled and did not speak. He did not need to say much in this TV speech.

He was more of a witness of an era.

"So now, after the struggle of all Chinese people, the previous generation and this generation,"

"In the past 20 years, we have created a better life and a stronger motherland."

"We have made brilliant achievements!"

"The core goal of the 20-year construction, to build a commercial reactor with controlled nuclear fusion that is popular throughout China, has been exceeded."

"In the city, our transportation has made great and historic development, and intelligent transportation and smart transportation have been fully realized throughout China."

"In the sky, we have built a near-Earth space platform and a lunar base."

"On the ground, we have built a huge three-dimensional farm, which has made a revolutionary and creative breakthrough in the agricultural model in human society."

"..."

"This is an achievement created by all the workers from Academician Mo Dao to all of us working together."

"Now, on behalf of all the people in China, on behalf of Academician Mo Dao who is sitting next to me, I announce,"

"China's 20-year construction plan has been a complete success!"

The TV speech was in the evening and at night,

The whole land of China, this night, the night sky was full of fireworks.
