Chapter 780: Energy and the Soviet Union

The scenery of Dagang at night is charming, and the night falls and the stars are shining. The sound of waves faintly came from the sky, like a fine comb combing the hair on the back of a person's head, ironing the inner troubles smoothly and comfortably, which is the most pleasant spiritual massage.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and a dazzling point of light slowly rose from the horizon. When it rose into the air, it suddenly exploded with a bang. Immediately after, the entire sky suddenly turned into a sea of light!

Brilliant ceremonial flowers fill the sky, blooming one after another with their intoxicating figures, forming a dizzying and exquisite picture......

Otherwise, Pinksey is indeed a playful person, and he likes to be the first to open the trend. The venue for the National Day fireworks show was not placed on land, but a 10,000-ton ship drove over on the coastline west of Dagang and released the fireworks to the sea. In this way, as long as people find a random coast of Dagang, they can enjoy this gorgeous National Day fireworks.

On the coastline of Dagang, the most popular is Xinghai Square. The world's largest city square, which is under construction, is crowded with people with their families and families in the cleared open space, and there are bustling heads everywhere.

Every time the fireworks bloom on the sea, it will cause the crowd to exclaim again and again. Although this group of people in the 90s is not as open as the young people of the future, there will be people who can't help but shout excitedly, which is really lively.

Of course, the celebration on the night of the National Day is not just about the fireworks being completed. At this time, a huge stage had been set up on Xinghai Square, and the armed police, police, and joint defense security controlled the entire venue, and only then began to guide the citizens into the venue.

Of course, the free seats will be a bit further from the stage, but the world's largest city square is not for nothing. There is no problem at all with having a lively and personal scene. And the location near the stage is naturally used to arrange some heavyweight audiences.

But just as the party was about to start and the audience was already full, the four or five seats in the front row were still vacant. As the main manager of the party, Pinksey was inevitably a little anxious at this time.

"Where's the people? Haven't they come yet?"

"Mayor Ping, we just called, Mr. Hu, they-"

......

"Academician Katomtsev......" Hu Wenhai stood up, looked at Lu Xin who had withdrawn from the suite, and asked tentatively: "Still refuse to eat anything?"

Lu Xin shook his head silently, took out the plate that had been cooled, and handed it to the chef who had been waiting next to him.

"That's not going to work, I'll go see him!" Hu Wenhai frowned, simply pushed open the door and walked towards the room.

Academician Katomtsev was sitting by the window of his guest room at this time, and the light of one flower after another shone on his face, but it did not arouse his interest in the slightest. His gaze was dead and cold, but empty and unfocused.

"Academician Katomtsev, I'm coming to see you. ”

Hu Wenhai found a place opposite him, sat down and said: "I can't say completely clear about the situation in the Soviet Union, but I think I know more than you. The Soviet Union was founded by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and the results of last year's national referendum also showed that the Soviets were opposed to the dissolution of the Union. From this point of view, the agreement signed by Yeltsin and his team is completely illegal. ”

Katomtsev raised his head, shook his head and sighed: "Comrade Hu Wenhai, I know all these truths. But we also understand that the Soviet Union did not disintegrate because Yeltsin signed this agreement, but because it had to disintegrate. ”

"This is entirely the result of Goe's stupidity, which he has committed against the Soviet Union in an unforgivable crime! If it were not for his demand for the use of dollars in the internal settlement of the Economic and Mutual Commission...... Oh my God, why didn't any of us stop him at that time? Asking for dollars in the internal settlement of the Economic and Mutual Exchange! Are we all crazy?"

If you want to talk about the collapse of the Soviet Union, the internal causes are indeed myriad. But how did the Soviet Union, as a huge country and one of the two poles of the world, lose its cohesion? I have to say that Katomtsev's remarks really hit the center of the problem.

If it had not been for Goeh's destruction of the economic and mutual exchange system, the Soviet Union would never have fallen into such a situation as disintegration even if it faced defeat in the Cold War.

The national question is one thing, but the national question has always existed for the Soviet Union, so why did it suddenly erupt at this time? Nearly 100 years since the founding of the Soviet Union, can Eastern Europe really be so alienated from Germany under its management? So that all the countries of the Economic and Mutual Economic Association will abandon the Soviet Union? There is no such reason?

In fact, the economic and mutual association system created by the Soviet Union has long tied the whole of Eastern Europe to itself. The means used by the Soviet Union was to control the entire energy supply system of the Economic and Mutual Economic Association. The settlement of oil supplies provided by the Soviet Union was calculated at half of the international oil price. With low-cost energy supply, it created a zone of separation between itself and NATO countries to ensure the strategic security of the Soviet Union.

There was low-cost oil from the Soviet Union, and the energy systems of the countries of Eastern Europe were completely bound to and dependent on the Soviet Union. With such a favorable situation, no matter how much the upper echelons of the Soviet Union messed around, the little brother in Eastern Europe did not have the courage to leave the boss and go it alone.

If nothing else, just look at Ukraine's later falling out with Russia, Russia's biggest killer feature is to cut off natural gas supplies to Eastern Europe.

If there is a problem with gas in Ukraine, all of Europe will suddenly put pressure on Ukraine, and Russia, the Soviet legacy, will have no problem for at least another thirty years.

However, in a very short period of time, one of Goe's orders completely dismantled this century-old plan of the Soviet Union -- the internal settlement of the Economic and Trade Council, and from the 90s onwards, the ruble was no longer accepted, but all "free foreign exchange" was adopted! What is free foreign exchange? It is the US dollar!

Nima, the trade system of the socialist country of the Economic and Mutual Council, which is settled in US dollars?

These poor and small countries were originally confrontational countries raised by the Soviet Union on the front line of the Cold War, and in the past they relied strictly on the economic and mutual exchange system to shape their own economic policies and industrial division of labor. The two major trading systems of the Cold War have always been indifferent to each other.

What followed was the collapse of the energy system, needless to say, which would immediately be transmitted to the entire economic system, and all the economies of Eastern European countries would have problems, and the ruble foreign exchange reserves accumulated in the past would instantly turn into a pile of waste paper.

The ruble's credit went bankrupt, and the unbreakable alliance naturally turned into an "unbreakable alliance". Speaking of which, the name of the Soviet Union is apt, and it is indeed an unbreakable alliance that can only be broken from within.

However, even East Germany, which had the closest and most hardcore followers of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, could not stand the need to rebel, let alone others? And the collapse of the Soviet Union was only a follow-up reaction to this action.

Katomtsev, who was no less than a great scientist, immediately realized the culprit of the current collapse of the Soviet Union. However, is it a little late to find out about this problem now?

"Hey, the Soviet Union...... There is no more USSR, and the cause I have fought for all my life is over......"

Katomtsev suffered this huge blow, and in despair, he seemed to have lost all hope in life, and his heart was completely lost.

Hu Wenhai can't let him be so depressed, and his investment in the direction of nuclear fusion is a strategy that he will unswervingly implement in the future.

Although it is said that "nuclear fusion is only 25 years away from success", it is at least the most likely path to the next industrial revolution that can be foreseen.

In the next 30 years, China's globalization will be greatly affected by the economic crisis. The turmoil and slowing growth around the world are reflected in the gradual economic climbing. The so-called supply-side reform and capacity reduction are actually a kind of alleviating economic crisis.

The difference is that the Great Depression in the United States adopted the method of eliminating people to reduce production capacity, using cruel and ruthless competition to break the industrial system, and then rebuild it again, and finally achieve the goal of concentrating wealth in the hands of a few capitals. China's capacity reduction is to eliminate backwardness and industrial upgrading, and reduce the cruel side of capacity reduction as much as possible through controllable administrative means.

But as long as the next industrial revolution is delayed, the future economic crisis will not drag on indefinitely.

As for Industry 4.0, it looks beautiful, but it is also old wine in new bottles, and it is just a breath of relief for the global economy.

Without a fundamental breakthrough in science and technology, China, as the world's factory, will have to accompany the whole world to endure hardship. The result is nothing more than an unprecedented economic crisis, a wave of production capacity, or a resurgence of the third war, and everyone will "harvest mushrooms and full of rats" together.

"Academician Katomtsev can have this understanding, and there are some things that I can easily say. ”

Hu Wenhai looked into his eyes and said sincerely: "Yeltsin's traitors will not end well, they think that if they kneel and lick the Western countries and convert to capitalism, the Western countries will be able to help Russia become strong? But without the Western countries, there was really no hope for the Soviet Union? No matter how bad it was, you came from the years of the Great Patriotic War, could it be that Stalin would have surrendered to Hitler when the enemy occupied Moscow?"

"This ......" Academician Katomtsev opened his mouth and shook his head, without an answer in his heart.

Hu Wenhai did not mind this, and continued: "Although the Soviet Union collapsed, the CPSU did not fall. General Secretary Schönin is now in Khabarovsk, and the CPSU will definitely not recognize the legitimacy of the CIS agreements. Our cause has suffered major setbacks, but historically, isn't the last thing the Communist Party is afraid of is to suffer setbacks?"

"Academician Katomtsev!"

Hu Wenhai suddenly sat up straight, stared at him with blazing eyes, and said loudly: "If you are really proud of your country, then you should know that the future of the Soviet Union is in your hands!"

"In my hands?"

At this time, Katomtsev was completely "fooled and pinched" by Hu Wenhai, and his heart was at a loss, not knowing how he could have anything to do with the survival of the Soviet Union.

"It's in your hands!" Hu Wenhai nodded vigorously and said: "You also said that the current situation of the Soviet Union is that the Gotu has destroyed the entire economy of the Economic and Mutual Council and destroyed the energy supply system of Eastern Europe. Human history is inextricably linked to economic development, and the United States defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War and relied on its petrodollar system to control the world's energy supply. ”

"I don't need to say more, you should also know that if the fusion technology is developed, then ......"

When Academician Katomtsev heard this, his eyes had already lit up, and he nodded heavily: "Then the US economy will inevitably suffer a heavy blow, on the contrary, regain control of energy superiority, and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union will have a chance to rise again." ”

"That's right!" Hu Wenhai stroked his palms and laughed: "Secretary Shenin is now rebuilding the CPSU, and then the Soviet Union will not only have inexhaustible energy, but also a capable cadre team." The cause of socialism will no longer be a castle in the air, but will have an economic foundation to match it. ”

"But、But nuclear fusion is not so easy, I have studied nuclear fusion all my life, and the result is only T-7......"

This is not true, the principle of nuclear fusion has long been clear, and it is nothing more than an engineering problem. Hu Wenhai showed a young man who is not afraid of heaven and earth: "How much resources does the world invest in oil and energy development every year, and how much investment does it invest in research and development of nuclear fusion? The slow progress of nuclear fusion, in my opinion, is mainly due to insufficient investment." ”

"I, Hu Wenhai, dare not say that I am rich enough to rival the country, but I am also the richest man in the world, and money has never been a problem for me. As long as I want, the money in the world is just lying there waiting for me to pick it up. If Academician Katomtsev joins, the transformation of the HT-7 will soon be completed. It was operated for three years and accumulated enough experience by 1995. I can guarantee that when the time comes, we will invest 10 billion -- dollars -- in 10 years in the Dagang Plasma Research Institute! By 2005, a complete experimental fusion reactor will be built. ”

"How about we launch a charge towards nuclear fusion with our goal of 30 years?" Hu Wenhai stood up, and the salute flowers rose one after another on the sea behind him, lighting up the entire sky. He stretched out his hand to Katomtsev, smiled: "I wonder if Academician Katomtsev, can he work for another thirty years?"

"I ......"

Katomtsev's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and suddenly he said: "I'm hungry!"
