7 p.m. Beijing time.

It's also 6 a.m. Washington time.

A quarter of an hour ago.

At this moment, the entire country of M is still very quiet, and the vast majority of people are still asleep.

After all, last night was Chinese New Year's Eve, one of the ten important statutory holidays in country M, and in conjunction with the Christmas holiday, most people will choose to be with family and friends on this day, have a party, or go out on a trip, and then keep a vigil together to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

After a crazy day, many people don't go to bed until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, and naturally don't get up so early the next day.

However, ordinary people can enjoy this pleasant holiday to the fullest, but the elites of country M in the White House do not have such a mood, at least, President O'Guanhai certainly does not.

Even last night, he and the White House staff didn't close their eyes.

The red country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is already carrying out the ignition experiment of the controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, but their country M does not even have a shadow of the controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor, and can only 'tirelessly' announce that our big M Lijian has begun to build a demonstration reactor in Florida; the military construction team has already entered the market with great fanfare, and on the surface it is in full swing, but no one in the know knows that this TM is just to fool the people!

In the conference room, there was smoke.

Last night, after delivering a Chinese New Year's Eve speech, O'Guanhai summoned the White House bureaucrats to stay here until now.

At this moment, the smell of cigarettes and coffee fills the office.

The participants in the conference room, after staying up all night, have long lost their usual gentlemanly appearance, and their hair is greasy and sluggish.

The discussion lasted all night, and basically no constructive comments were discussed.

And so no one spoke,

Including the same with Okanhai,

Everyone is waiting for news over there.

"What time is it?" Rubbing his swollen temples, Ao Guanhai asked his assistant beside him.

"It's a quarter of an hour before 6 a.m. The assistant yawned, looked at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer screen, and replied.

"Mr. Webb, my chief director," as soon as he heard that it was 6 o'clock in the morning, Ao Guanhai's face sank, and he finally couldn't help but speak, "Don't you have any news of the Chinese in the CIA?"

Asked by Mr. President, Weber's coffee cup in his hand subconsciously trembled, and said embarrassedly: "That, Mr. President......"

Although he believed that his men should not disappoint him this time, he had not received any definite news from them until now, and he could not help but muttered in his heart, which he had always been resolute and resolute.

Damn, what are those guys doing!

Shaking his head in disappointment.

Obviously, Ao Guanhai didn't see a glimmer of hope on his face, and he hasn't found anyone who has had any contact with him so far, and all night, the CIA employees seem to have run to enjoy the New Year's Eve vigil, right?

Repeatedly disappointed him, does he really need to change the CIA director?

However, this time, Ao Guanhai really wronged our CIA comrades.

The director didn't take a break, how could their subordinates dare to take a holiday?

What's more, Weber had already said that if he couldn't do it with the president, they wouldn't want to do it anymore.

The CIA is not as particular as other departments, what human rights, what democracy, what freedom, bullshit!

The director is human rights, is everything to them!

"Sir, please allow me to make a phone call......"

"Adair, 5 minutes, I'll just give you 5 minutes, bring all the information about the Huaguo Demonstration Heap, come to the conference room immediately, yes, immediately, immediately! I don't care if you have any excuses, immediately, immediately!"

"What, you're already here? Okay, okay, hurry, Your Excellency the President is already in a hurry!"

Not to feel like Atlas any longer.

Sitting back in the conference room, in the disappointed and expectant eyes of Ao Guanhai, Webber finally squeezed out a smile.

"Sir, here it is, here comes the news!"

A few minutes later, Weber's intelligence assistant Adair finally arrived in the conference room, swallowed his saliva in the expectant eyes of a group of people, and quickly turned on the projection.

"Gentlemen, this is a picture of the Huaguo demonstration reactor that our CIA intelligence officers took through spy satellites overnight. ”

"This one is from 5 o'clock in the morning Huaguo time, and we can see that most of the Huaguo researchers have already gotten up to ......"

"This one is from 6 o'clock in the morning, and it seems that these people have finished their meal and are ready to take their seats......"

"Smack!"

"You're going to show me this after waiting all night?"

Ao Guanhai pointed to the picture on the screen, slapped the table fiercely, and looked angry,

"I want to know exactly what they do, when, what they did, who attended, whether they succeeded or failed, not these meaningless lights and buildings!"

"Yes, sir!" said Adair, who paused in his body, but unhurriedly pulled the picture to the end, "This is the image we took of the drainage outlet of the demonstration pile. It can be seen that at 10:30 a.m. ~ 13 o'clock in the morning, in two and a half hours, they discharged a large amount of hot water in the sea, which made the entire sea area smoky, and our infrared light sensing satellite even monitored within a radius of 5 nautical miles, and the upper temperature of the entire sea area rose by 0.5 degrees in a short period of time!"

"What does this mean?" With a little dry goods, Ao Guanhai had forgotten what he said just now, his face stretched slightly, joke, the CIA can really do what he just said, the Huaguo Security Bureau should be dragged out and shot for 5 minutes.

"We consulted with senior experts who are working on nuclear reactors. Adair smiled, still unhurriedly explaining, "This means that Huaguo's controllable nuclear fusion reactor is very likely to be ignited successfully." Because they release a huge amount of heat, and this heat, if they want to, can even use this huge amount of energy to generate electricity at any time......"

"Although I am very reluctant to believe it, judging from these appearances, they really succeeded!"

Seeing all this, Ao Guanhai raised his eyebrows slightly, and leaned back.

At this moment, he felt very tired.

Although he had been prepared for this in his heart for a long time, after really hearing such news, he still couldn't believe that it was true, or he didn't want to believe it.

"Oh, yes? But why hasn't the Chinese government taken action so far?"

"No, sir," Adair smiled confidently, looked at the time on the screen, and saw that the time was just right, so he reached out and picked up the remote control from the table, "There are about 50 seconds until 6 o'clock in Washington time, which is 19 o'clock in the evening time in Huaguo, and we can watch the same show with the Chinese people." ”

Program?

Ao Guanhai was slightly stunned.

"What show?"

"The most authoritative news media of the Chinese people, that is, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government, CCAV - news network. ”

……

Meanwhile, Beijing time, January 1, 2014 18:59:12.

At this moment, in the CCTV studio, the host Kang Hui took three deep breaths, eliminated all distractions, and sat up.

It's just that the press release in his hand can see his nervousness just now.

Just 15 minutes ago, there was an urgent news schedule above.

That's right, it was the news that was urgently edited out by the meritorious reporters and security personnel who went to the Shanhaiguan demonstration pile base.

The controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project, led by Professor Liu Feng, a well-known explosives award winner and the youngest and most talented expert in China, has finally lived up to expectations and successfully ignited with the cooperation of hundreds of research units across the country!

Under the instructions of the central government, in order to ensure that the news of the successful controlled fusion could be broadcast to the whole country as soon as possible, the meritorious reporter finally submitted the samples and press releases to the main station 10 minutes before the news broadcast under the review of various non-compliance requirements of the security personnel.

The head of the station has been waiting for a long time, and then it was handed over to the host Kang Hui as soon as possible, even if today's news broadcast is overtime, even if today's CCTV prime-time program is seriously disrupted, this news must be broadcast perfectly.

This is a political task seriously arranged by the above!

With a news video of more than ten minutes and a news narration of nearly 1,000 words, the host Kang Hui was heartbroken when he received these things.

Because as is customary, he has to broadcast these things word for word, and he has to do it with pride!

I didn't have time to memorize it all, and I didn't even have time to memorize a rough idea and watch the whole video, such a test, even if he was already the best news host on CCTV, he had never experienced such a test!

Why, not her?

glanced at Shangguan Haiyan next to him resentfully.

Fortunately, in addition to the main content broadcast of the first 100 words at the beginning, which must be completed off the script (in fact, there is also a teleprompter to assist in the broadcast), he can watch the press release read out when he plays the video, although there must be emotion and even rhythm of speech, but the difficulty is also a big drop compared to memorizing the full text, otherwise he will not be able to complete such a task.

It's just that it's still Alexander.

"Xiaokang, it's up to you!"

The program was about to start, and the director personally supervised him and encouraged him on the channel.

It's okay that this is not encouraged, but as soon as it is encouraged, Kanghui is even more nervous.

This piece of news, according to the director, is not only waiting for the people of the whole country, but the whole world is waiting!

Even today's entire episode of the news broadcast, if nothing else, will go down in history along with the news of the success of the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Demonstration Reactor!

And as the host who conveyed the news to audiences across the country and even around the world, the pressure he was under can be imagined.

secretly complained in his heart, the outside was already counting the seconds at the end, fortunately, he was forced to adjust it according to the previous experience of Lu Duan's big things not being confused, otherwise he would have to be ugly.

Taking a deep breath, and by the time the last second came, Kang Hui, who was sitting in front of the camera, had already shown his trademark smile:

"Good evening, everyone, today is Wednesday, January 1, 2014, the first day of the 12th lunar month, New Year's Day. The main content of today's program is ......"

At this time, you can see what kind of strength he has as the first brother of CCTV news host.

As has been broadcast countless times, Kang Hui, who is staring at the camera, with the assistance of the teleprompter, clearly broadcasts the content in his memory, especially the important content that has just completed his memory work.

The calm and atmospheric tone and affinity of the facial movements not only conveyed the content of the news to the audience, but also conveyed his emotions to everyone.

"A few days ago, the controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor located in the Shanhaiguan area of Qinhuangdao City, under the guidance of Chief Designer Liu, completed the final ignition test. ”

"The Grand Elder cordially met with Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and the two sides held cordial and friendly talks. The Grand Elder highly appreciated Prince Sihanouk's efforts in devoting himself to the traditional friendship between China and Cambodia, and expressed his gratitude to Cambodia for consistently adhering to the principle of "one Chinese state." ”

“……”

"Today's news broadcast is usually 46 minutes. Let's hear more about it below. ”

Then, the screen turned......

It is the 'short film' edited by the meritorious reporter.

The camera first gave a panoramic view of the ancient Great Wall of Shanhaiguan, and then immediately switched to the gate of the demonstration reactor base and the five-star red flag at the gate, and finally switched to the main control room of the laboratory with Kang Hui's voice-to-voice, and the scene of ignition was broadcast.

There is no brilliant firelight, let alone an earth-shattering roar, just a sci-fi control room, rows of blurred consoles and large central control screens, and the person standing on the stage and pressing the green button...... Then, cheers rang out and thunderous applause.

Even through the screen, you can feel the excitement, excitement, and pride of these people.

Kang Hui, who was sitting in the studio, narrated in a clear and affinity voice:

"Down the mountain, the wind shows the red flag picturesquely. It has been 47 years since the explosion of China's first hydrogen bomb, and at 9 o'clock this morning, China's first controllable nuclear fusion demonstration reactor was finally successfully ignited. ”

"At present, the reactor is operating well as a whole, initially achieving the expected power generation of 1.3 million kilowatts, and completing the maximum power output of 10.85 million kilowatts. ”

According to the follow-up plan, the demonstration reactor will gradually increase the number of generating units, and it is expected that within this year, the installed capacity will be increased to 8 million kilowatts, and the average annual power generation of the demonstration reactor will reach 70 billion kWh, which is comparable to the sum of all nuclear power plants in China so far, and is almost equivalent to a Three Gorges hydropower station, which can meet the power supply demand of Beijing for a year. ”

An experimental demonstration reactor can generate electricity equivalent to a Three Gorges, enough to provide electricity consumption for the entire capital, which is something that can only be done by dozens of power stations around the capital today!

The power of controlled nuclear fusion is terrifying.

It's like breaking the shackles that have been locked on people for hundreds of years.

At that time, humanity may no longer be limited by energy.

Oil, coal, natural gas, etc. are no longer used as fuels, all are replaced by electric energy, and can only exist as raw materials for industrial production;

All kinds of household appliances will usher in a new round of spring, and the streets will gradually be full of cars powered by electricity, and the earth's environment will change immediately, and it is in a good direction;

For Huaguo, the lifeblood of energy has finally been solved, and the country's strength has developed rapidly, and then the interstellar era of the universe has begun!

All this is completely conceivable.

There is no tension anymore, and Kang Hui, who is emotionally substituted, is already deeply proud and proud of the scholars who are excited and cheering in the video, and even the voice of the broadcast is a little trembling.

Facing the expectant gaze of the people of the whole country, his tone was solemn and friendly:

"Compatriots, the spark of controlled nuclear fusion has been ignited, the wings of Huaguo's take-off have been plugged in, the curtain of the times has been slowly opened, and we have taken the lead in stepping into the future!"

"At this historic moment, we have witnessed the birth of this miracle and the results of the efforts and dedication of those great scientific researchers. ”

"Please allow us, with the warmest applause and the most sincere blessings, to dedicate to them and to our great motherland!"
