Capital.

A mysterious place called Zhongnanhai.

Liu Kun~ came to the door of the office and knocked lightly.

Early in the morning, he had just gotten up when he received a call from above, telling him to come to the office immediately.

My heart tightened slightly, what was so urgent?

"Please come in!"

The familiar voice of the Great Elder came, he pushed open the door and walked in, and found that there was not only the Great Elder inside, but also Zhang Qin from the Ministry of Science and Technology, and Li Chun from the Ministry of Energy.

"Great Elder, are you looking for me?"

Looking at the head of the Ministry of Finance standing at the desk, the old man smiled faintly and spoke.

"Sit. I've got a letter here, so take it and read it. ”

Liu Bu~ was stunned for a long time, and then stepped forward and took the letter from the old man.

Turning his head to look at the two colleagues on the side, he found that they nodded, obviously having read the content of this, and he was even more puzzled, what is written here?

He found the couch and sat down, opened the envelope, and looked at the headline again, his brow furrowed even deeper.

I never expected it to be this one!

Liu Feng?

I don't have anything to do with him at all.

I read on to find out what was going on.

Honourable Leaders,

I'm sure you've heard that our country has launched antimatter engineering.

In the latest experiment at the Beijing Positron Collider Laboratory of the Institute of High Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, our researchers have successfully fabricated 1mg of antihydrogen atoms and stored them for more than 24 hours.

The results of this research make me foresee that in the near future, antimatter resources will become a new and important energy source, and antimatter weapons and antimatter bombs will also be used by us.

This new type of energy will be more efficient and cleaner than all the energy sources we are familiar with;

This new type of weapon will also be more deterrent than all the weapons we have, and even the hydrogen bomb and the atomic bomb will be overshadowed by such cheap, efficient, and powerful weapons.

Theoretically, the complete annihilation of 1g of antimatter can release 180 billion KJ of energy, which is equivalent to the explosive yield of two to three Hiroshima atomic bombs, and the conversion rate of 50% is equivalent to the production of 25 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.

It is estimated that only 110 kilograms of antimatter is enough to meet the annual needs of China.

Putting aside the future scientific and technological progress, today, the laboratory production cost of antimatter has been reduced to 100 million/g, and if it can be industrially produced, it can be reduced to about 1 million ~ 5 million/g, and with the further expansion of the production scale, the cost still has an extremely broad space for reduction.

If we can reduce the cost to 5 million/g, the cost of antimatter power generation will be the same as that of traditional thermal power generation, and if the cost can be reduced to 1 million/g, the cost can become one-fifth of the cost of traditional thermal power, or even lower.

In terms of energy, the birth of this clean and efficient energy will completely change the energy structure of modern society, and will also completely change the production and lifestyle of our society.

From the perspective of national security, the birth of antimatter weapons will change the traditional warfare mode of the whole world, and even change the geopolitical pattern of the whole world.

From the perspective of the future of mankind, spacecraft powered by antimatter will fly over the earth, the solar system, and even the galaxy, and human society will enter the interstellar age!

Here, as a scholar and a Chinese citizen, I have the obligation to remind all the leaders: China has stood at the turning point of the times, and the door to the new era is in front of our eyes, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is close at hand!

Of course, as for whether or not to open this door, or even to be able to push it open at a speed of multiple blocks, the decision is up to you - how much you can pay!

Reading this, Liu Bu~'s long mouth has already opened into an "O" shape, and he is simply shocked!

Antimatter technology?

Isn't this something that only comes out of science fiction movies?

Now they haven't even achieved controlled nuclear fusion, what the hell is this antimatter technology?

And it's already been implemented in the lab?

It's April Fool's Day!

Looking up at the two colleagues beside him, and then at the Great Elder with a calm and calm face, he had to believe that what was depicted on this letter was very likely to be true!

With a shocked mood, Liu Kunbu ~ continued to look back.

The rest of the content is a few charts, which plan in detail the implementation time of the antimatter project, as well as the timeline for the commercialization of antimatter technology, and - how much money will be invested!

Don't want 888, don't want 668, but 998, it's just that the unit is 100 million!

Seeing this huge number, Liu Bu~'s long eyebrows couldn't help twitching a few times.

It turns out that all the wording in the whole letter is 'bragging about' how good the future of antimatter technology is, how important it is, and how it can change the world!

However, from this huge number, he only saw three words - "give money quickly".

Regardless of whether this thing can be realized or not, he remembers that just the new super collider project invested by their Institute of High Energy Physics is a real investment of 100 billion!

Still coming?

99.8 billion?

You high physics people, just transfer all the scientific research funds of the whole country to your own knots!

Liu Bu~ Chang only felt that his hands were trembling, what kind of letter is this, this is simply a mountain of money and a sea of money!

And, the more he looked back, the more his hands trembled:

99.8 billion, it turned out to be just an appetizer - just the money for an antimatter power reactor, behind this, there are antimatter engines, antimatter weapons, antimatter bombs......

Before and after, it's about 200 billion in total, just kill me!

Putting down the letter in his hand, Minister Liu pressed the temples on both sides and shook his head with a headache.

It's not that he can't come up with so much money, it's a question of whether this plan is feasible or not!

If it is really feasible, smash the pot and sell iron, he will admit it!

"200 billion, this, Professor Liu is too good at spending money......" Liu Bu~ opened his mouth, and finally sighed and said, "Great Elder, this is all true? If it wasn't for you to give it to me, I wouldn't want to throw it directly into the trash." ”

Indeed, what Liu Feng portrayed in the letter is too amazing!

What kind of monster is this? I don't even brag about it.

Changing China's energy structure?

Changing the geopolitical landscape of the world?

Directly let mankind enter the interstellar age!

This, is it possible?!

If it weren't for the fact that this letter was given to him by the Great Elder, if it weren't for the fact that the owner of this letter was Liu Feng, he might have really thrown it directly into the trash.

Looking at Liu Bu~ with a complicated expression, the old man smiled and asked, "How is it?" How do you feel, do you think this money should be paid, or, is it heartache?"

Liu Bu~ smiled bitterly: "It's too sci-fi! Professor Liu's plan is like an alien invasion of the earth...... I don't know why he's so sure...... However, if it is true, don't say 200 billion, it is 2 trillion, 20 trillion, and our country can support it!"

In fact, in his eyes, it doesn't matter what antimatter power generation or anything like that, what matters is the antimatter weapon that can change the geopolitical landscape, and the antimatter spaceship that can take mankind to the interstellar age!

Although China is a big energy consumer, the annual consumption of coal accounts for almost half of the world's total coal consumption, but there is not much in China, that is, a lot of coal, even if it is consumed like this, it is enough for China to use for hundreds of years!

Therefore, the energy crisis is not actually the most important, the important thing is to let Huaguo lead the earth and lead the future interstellar era!

Before, China missed the Age of Discovery, which directly made the Chinese nation fall behind for more than 300 years, and until now it is still paying for the original 'backwardness';

If it is really as Professor Liu said in the letter, the spaceship powered by antimatter can really be realized, in the great interstellar era, China will surely rise, and it will once again stand at the pinnacle of human beings!

If all this can really be realized, what is 200 billion?

"It's really unbelievable," the old man nodded, and after a pause, he spoke, "But the letter that Zhang Qin brought us is indeed true." ”

Hearing this, Liu Bu~ Chang's expression was slightly moved, and he hurriedly looked at Zhang Qin.

"Yes, I already saw the success of the large-scale experimental production of antimatter on the site last night, and I received the news early this morning that the antimatter storage technology has also achieved initial results - the entire antimatter project can be fully rolled out. ”

Although the Council of Elders has approved the start of the antimatter project before, when it comes to the issue of fund allocation, hundreds of millions and billions, the people above will not frown, Liu Feng can also apply if he wants to, but when it comes to more than 10 billion funds, how can these people not make some muttering?

And Liu Feng's letter is actually a shot in the arm for him to give these people!

It was clear that this time he succeeded again.

"I know, I'll personally ask for the appropriation when I go back!" Liu Bu~ nodded very affirmatively.

Although he still had some doubts, how could he not understand the meaning of the Great Elder, and he was sure of two words - give money!

"Well," the Great Elder also nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to look at Zhang Qin and Li Cun, and asked knowingly, "By the way, how is the controlled nuclear fusion energy project in China going?"

Li Bu~ Chang shook his head awkwardly, you know, he has always had high hopes for controllable nuclear fusion, and the strength of support is also quite large, this time......

sighed in his heart, and could only answer truthfully: "Although they have made a lot of achievements not long ago, according to their plan, it is impossible for controlled nuclear fusion energy to be commercialized for at least 30 years." ”

So the old man shook his head: "Then let's slow down for the time being." Didn't Professor Liu say that there was a shortage of major generals, and let them support some people to go over......"
