If controlled nuclear fusion succeeds, it will bring inexhaustible clean energy to China, which at first glance seems to be a great thing for the benefit of the people and the country! China will no longer have to endure foreign restrictions on oil, the skies of major cities will gradually return to blue, and young people will no longer need to postpone their plans to buy cars because of the problem of oil prices.

However, there are two sides to everything, and people tend to lose something when they gain something, and since controlled nuclear fusion has completely solved the energy problem, how can existing energy-related industry practitioners deal with themselves?

As of last year (cough cough, in fact, it is 15 years of data provided by book friends), there are more than 1 million people employed in thermal power production in China, and the rest of the enterprises and institutions have their own thermal power plant personnel; the total number of gas stations in the country is about 95,000, employing about 500,000 people, excluding those who sell oil sporadically; about 7 million people are employed in coal in the country, excluding those who are illegally mined; and about 5 million people are employed in the petroleum industry, excluding pharmaceuticals, Derivative industries such as plastics, these only refer to direct practitioners, plus the practitioners of subsidiary industries.

Together, these people alone are close to 14 million people, and if you count the family of four, 56 million people will be in danger of a sharp decline in the quality of life of their families because of the success of the Xihe plan, which is almost the population of the whole country!

Now that the aftermath of the laid-off wave in the nineties has not dissipated, Lu Qiujian deeply remembers the anger and helplessness they erupted when his parents' factory was facing a laid-off crisis, and he still remembers that the original owner of his body secretly vowed not to let such a tragedy happen again through his own efforts after experiencing this turmoil, but he did not expect that he would smash the jobs of tens of millions of people at one time.

At that time, the number of layoffs was about five or six million a year, and more than 30 million workers were laid off in the five years at most. The word laid-off will be a lifelong pain for many families.

Admittedly, there is still a long time left for the Chinese government to prepare, and the top management can make various preparations according to the progress of Lu Qiujian's plan, such as controlling the scale of the development of the traditional energy industry, and re-looking for employment opportunities for those working in related industries.

Even if the staff of the gas station is changed to the gas station, and the staff of the thermal power plant is changed to the nuclear power plant, this will certainly not solve the work of all the employees in the old energy industry, because the human resources required by the nuclear power industry are not the same as those in the traditional energy industry, and millions of employees will lose their jobs because they cannot adapt to this change.

Of course, these people will have little impact on Lu Qiujian, at least for now, because they certainly have no way of knowing how much the Xihe Project will bring to their lives, but some people are different. When they were laid off from state-owned enterprises, those energetic people saw an opportunity to get something out of it, and naturally they did not oppose the government's actions.

But now, if Xihe's plan really succeeds, they will definitely lose a lot of things, which they will not be happy to see, and these people have great energy, they will not sit idly by and watch Lu Qiujian's experiment succeed, and they also have the ability to interfere with Lu Qiujian's experimental plan.

These people are, of course, the leading figures in the traditional energy industry, but there are also people in other fields. The government's launch of the Xihe plan will not only affect the energy industry, but also the annual government budget is so much, and the more funds are given to the Xihe plan, the less funds are allocated to other areas. The departments that have been cut will of course attribute their grievances to the Xihe plan.

Therefore, at the conference held a while ago, the plan of the Xihe Plan was passed with great difficulty after many rounds of discussions, and the number of votes against the plan almost set a new record in China. Could it be that the space exploration program is really the most urgent task of Huaguo at present? Will Huaguo decline because of the Xihe plan, just like the Red Empire that was dragged down by the Star Wars program in the first place?

Fortunately, China's political system determines that as long as the upper echelons have confidence, no matter how difficult it is, they will unswervingly carry out what they have decided to do. At least it will be of great benefit to Lu Qiujian to realize his plan.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Lu Qiujian can fulfill the promise he made to the Council of Elders as scheduled according to the blueprint he planned, and if there is a slight mistake in the period, he will be crushed by the opposition forces, and those opposition forces that have been dormant for the time being think the same.

And dormant does not mean sitting idly by, within the scope of their ability, they still don't mind creating some small, insignificant but enough troubles for Lu Qiujian to affect the progress of the project; for example, the core personnel of a cooperative organization suddenly get a job change opportunity that can improve their position and salary, so that they leave happily and cause the progress of a small plan to be delayed; for example, market fluctuations cause the price of a certain consumables required for the plan to rise, thereby increasing the budget of the project, and so on.

And these small problems need to be solved by the project team members, after all, the above is not for you to be a nanny, you can't solve these small things, how can you control such a big plan?

And now there are some signs of these things, and the delay in the delivery of the atomic clock is just one of the trivial things, but it has also attracted Lu Qiujian's attention, and he regards this matter as a test of the opposition forces, and there must be more means waiting for him in the future.

Hey, I'm in much worse trouble now than Groves and Oppenheimer, who were in charge of the Manhattan Protector back then! They only have to deal with other departments that are striving for financial appropriations and the forces of hostile countries, at least at the top of the United States, most of them support the Manhattan Project, and they have to fight against the two forces that he has robbed of the appropriations and the two forces represented by the old energy group.

However, I had already taken this difficulty into account when I first formulated this plan, and it would be wrong for you to think that I was just a scientist who could do so! Lu Qiujian smiled slightly, if you use unconventional means to deal with me, then I will use even more unconventional means to return it, whether it is domestic or foreign forces! )
