Regardless of the White House's frustration over this sudden situation, the global market has reacted.

Almost the day after Renren Daily disclosed the start of the demonstration reactor project, the global thermal coal futures market was like a frightened bird, and there was a panic sell-off.

What does a demonstration pile mean?

How far is Huaguo from controlled fusion technology?

These are technical questions that no one can answer.

One thing is certain, however, that China is the world's largest coal consumer, consuming almost 50% of the world's coal.

If China no longer needs so much coal in the future, who will pay for the coal they have?

Even if everyone knows that this day will not come immediately. But futures themselves are trading about the future, and when investors lose their expectation of a commodity's future, it is only a matter of time before it falls.

At this time, the faster you run, the smaller the loss.

Something like this isn't just happening with coal.

As a large amount of money was withdrawn from the energy sector, panic began to spread to the propane, natural gas and crude oil markets, which led to a decline in the entire energy futures market.

Although compared with coal, the losses of other futures varieties are relatively less miserable, but they still maintain a downward trend, and the decline continued from the opening to the end of the session.

This is true for the futures market, and the same is true for the stock market.

The energy sector fell sharply across the board, leaving behind a lot of chicken feathers.

After the fact, the world's major financial institutions have made statistics on the day's transactions, and in just one day, the market value of the energy sector of the global stock market has evaporated more than hundreds of billions of dollars, almost falling to a whiteness.

As the initiator of all this, Lu Zhou didn't know at this moment what an amazing thing he had done unintentionally.

But even if he knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't care, at most he just sighed, how good it would be if the money was exchanged for funds.

At least, in his hands, the money can be burned more meaningfully......

……

[Congratulations to the host, complete the task!] 】

Standing in a pure white system space, looking at the words projected on the holographic screen, Lu Zhou reaped the fruits of his victory.

Just like last time, this time I still completed the branches of the two mission chains.

The first is that the LPC-1 material gave him 100,000 points of engineering experience and 500 points.

After the start of the demonstration reactor project, the state invested all the funds originally planned to be paid to ITER for the STAR-2 demonstration reactor project. With a cumulative investment of $10 billion, it continues to bring him 50,000 free experience points, as well as a chance to draw a lottery.

Facing the only two LV2s left in his attribute panel, Lu Zhou thought for a while, and finally allocated the 50,000 points of experience to energy.

Informatics has unlocked the branch of artificial intelligence, as long as Xiao Ai upgrades, his level can basically be improved simultaneously, without him having to invest additional experience points.

In contrast, energy science is far from his field of study, and experience is not so easy to obtain.

Considering that the generator set connected to the reactor belongs to this field of research, it is better to upgrade the level in this area just in case.

After completing the distribution of experience, Lu Zhou refreshed the attribute panel, and soon the updated attribute panel was presented in front of him.

【

A. Mathematics: LV7 (144,000/1.2 million)

B. Physics: LV5 (83,215/300,000)

C. Biochemistry: LV4 (74,000/200,000)

D. Engineering: LV4 (0/200,000)

E. Materials Science: LV5 (113,000/300,000)

F. Energy: LV3 (0/100,000)

G. Informatics: LV2 (3000/50,000)

Points: 5475 (1 entry to draw)

】

Simply glancing at the attribute panel, Lu Zhou shook his head.

"I don't know when I'll be able to see the world after LV8."

Experience cap of 1,200,000.

It even exceeds the combined experience of other subject classifications.

After closing the attribute panel, Lu Zhou was about to leave the system space.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the second task chain branch completed this time seemed to reward him with a chance to draw a lottery?

It's been a long time.

Ever since the quest chain was opened, he had almost forgotten that the system still had this function.

This is a lottery opportunity in exchange for 10 billion.

Thinking of this, even Lu Zhou, who didn't have any expectations for the lottery system of the system, couldn't help but look forward to it.

The button for the draw was pressed, and the wheel began to spin at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Subconsciously silently chanted a few times of Ou Huang's possession, Lu Zhou's index finger poked towards the button again.

The roulette wheel rotated dozens of times according to inertia, and finally slowly stopped.

[Congratulations to the host, the drawing was won!] 】

Lu Zhou: "?! ”

As soon as he saw this line of text, he was instantly shocked.

Hold the grass?

Is it really a special European emperor possessed?

If you think about it, the last time you drew a drawing, it seems to be four or five years ago.

[Obtained, LPC-1 composite material production process.] 】

Lu Zhou: "??? ”

Although he had already expected the discipline of this system, he still didn't expect that this broken system would be so shameless.

Speaking of which, isn't this LPC-1 composite material something he researched?

Standing in front of the holographic screen and silent for a long time, Lu Zhou finally sighed.

Forget it, so much so.

He was also thinking about how to solve the problem of industrial production of LPC-1 materials. After all, even if it is the set of methods improved by Hou Jinli, it is also a laboratory preparation method, and there is no problem in preparing a few groups of samples in small quantities, but it is almost impossible to use those samples to make a reactor.

The system came up with this set of solutions, at least helped him save a lot of time.

After receiving the prize, Lu Zhou left the system space and returned to reality.

These days, he has basically stayed on Haizhou, presiding over the construction of the demonstration pile, and naturally it is impossible to return to his villa in Jinling every day.

The nuclear industry group helped him arrange a house, located in the staff community near the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant, and the house was finely decorated, more than 90 square meters.

It's not big, but it's not small.

After all, the work is basically handled in the factory site, and all he needs is a place to sleep.

Turning on the computer, Lu Zhou plugged in the black USB flash drive that was brought out of the system space.

Without any accident, the moment he completed the data copy, the black USB flash drive began to degrade at a speed visible to the naked eye, dissipating into the air like a sand dune that had lost its support.

After blowing two breaths at the interface position, Lu Zhou did not hesitate and immediately opened the file copied to the computer.

Theoretically, the drawings rewarded by the system are probably theoretical or technical problems that can be solved by 1~2 levels higher or lower than the level of other disciplines.

A cursory scan of the blueprints in the folder, although there were many new designs in them, they were basically within the scope of what he could understand.

And the most important thing is that it is completely feasible to restore this set of production processes on the drawings with domestic production conditions.

After seeing the drawings in the folder, the corners of Lu Zhou's mouth gradually hooked up a smile.

The material of the first wall has been stabilized.

All that remains for him is to find the right collaborators to implement the production matters.
