Chapter 1: Cold Fusion Shock
、、、、、、、
......
Eight months after the enlarged meeting of the Politburo.
The central inspection team announced the list of the eighth round of inspections this year, and the list of the eighth batch of dismissed officials of the provincial, municipal and county governments was announced, and among the officials who were dismissed, four big tigers of the State Grid were found, two at the deputy national level, two at the provincial and ministerial level, and of course six old tigers who had long since retired and should not be held accountable in theory, as well as a large number of flies and mosquitoes and dog's tail grass that saw the wind and steered the rudder.
At the end of the year, the list of fallen officials announced in the work report of the Central Committee aroused a wave of applause on the Internet, and the people who knew that the elite did not know the truth and saw the wind made the rudder of the people stir up a lot of noise on the Internet, and the voices of discussion were voiced, and on the whole, there was a one-sided voice for the central government's severe anti-corruption crackdown, and ordinary people only knew that this was just a reflection of improving people's livelihood and the central government for the people, and only a few people speculated that this was the beginning of a new round of power collection by the central government. China Southern Power Grid will face a major restructuring, and a number of hydropower and thermal power projects have been adjusted or laid off, causing a domino effect in society, and for a time, more people have lost their jobs in thermal and thermal power projects than construction engineers.
......
In less than a year, the country's energy structure has changed dramatically, the economic structure has been readjusted, and the number of unemployed traditional engineers has increased every day. The group of senior technical employees who were originally engaged in thermal power and hydropower have all gone home to farm, and there are quite a few officials who have committed suicide by jumping off buildings, especially in terms of legislation, which is really a change from the norm, and the death reprieves have actually been abolished, and the family property information of officials at or above the department level for more than four generations has been made public, the marriage age of officials has been raised by five years, and there is even a system of banning marriage and guaranteeing promotion...... Many speculators engaged in real estate and stock operations and financial investment are completely dead hearted, and they have begun to think about fleeing overseas day and night, but unfortunately the customs bureau is also strict, and now officials need to get retinal fingerprint ID cards when leaving the country, and it is difficult to get stand-in photos. On the Zijin Mansion in Tianjin, a woman with short hair looked at a copy of the "People's Daily" and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's called ...... Long pain is better than short pain. Coco. Behind the woman, a woman with a soft face, black hair, and a white round-necked sleeveless pajama dress sat on the bed, half of her face fell into the shadow area, and the other half of her delicate face was extremely melancholy.
"However, no matter whether it is a long pain or a short pain, some pains are something that I can't forget for a lifetime......" The woman named Keke crossed her legs and sat at the head of the bed, her face was also full of depression.
"Brother......" Listening to Keke's words, the woman in the white dress sitting at the head of the bed lowered her eyelashes slightly, muttering a title that she hadn't spit out for a long time.
......
Night.
When Wang Yong returned home, his wife Yang Xue helped him take off his sweat-soaked coat and brewed him a pot of sobering tea.
Wang Yong shook his head, looked at his wife with gentle eyes and said, "No need, I didn't drink much today, Yang Xue." ”
Yang Xue looked at him with concern: "How come, the director has changed his character?"
Wang Yong shook his head and said:
"Now the investigation is strict, there are fewer people to eat and drink, and the director has also restrained a lot, a while ago, the deputy director of the Cultural Management Bureau asked for two more bottles of Fenjiu filled with blue and white porcelain when he was drinking, and he was taken away the next day. ”
Yang Xue smiled:
"That's fine, you don't drink much anyway, and it's good for your body. Usually when you get drunk, I'm worried about you. But it can make your bureau chief frightened, and now the central government is really strict enough, as my grandfather said. ”
Wang Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not a matter of being strict now, it's almost becoming a rectification movement, cameras are installed everywhere, and even the workplaces of many first-tier cities are required to install cameras, and many offices are forced to connect to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which is obviously speech monitoring." When the director of the bureau talked about the situation above, he also shook his head, saying that he couldn't see through it, couldn't figure it out, and said that the central government was now ...... It's weird, as if some strange force is at work. ”
Speaking of civil servants, Yang Xue also thought of something, pondered for a while, and said:
"There is some gossip on my father's side, and now the central government has indeed changed a lot, the seven Standing Committee members and the seven military regions are now all of one heart, and they are all emitted with one voice, unprecedented unity, and now the central government is like a ...... It's like someone has done it, and it seems that there is a tendency to fight. ”
Wang Yong was startled, looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said:
"Yang Xue, you can't talk nonsense outside. Now the wind is tight. As a person working in the Cultural Affairs Bureau, I have to keep my mouth in order. ”
Yang Xue smiled, flicked Wang Yong's forehead, and said:
"What are you worried about, you are so worried about your wife?"
Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat and said:
"I'm afraid that in case, the current situation is really hard to say, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has now left more and more room for arrests, in the past, at least there were still some people who saw the wind and made the rudder frank and lenient, but now they are one to catch one accurate. Moreover, even the death reprieves have been canceled, which is really hard to say. I'm afraid it will go on like this...... It is not certain that there will be another Cultural Revolution. ”
Yang Xue sighed and said:
"And say that I have a big mouth, your own words are enough to cause panic...... Having said that, I haven't been in touch with my dad for a while, and the last time I contacted him, I always felt that his whole person had changed a lot, and the previous affinity was completely gone, and his speech was very straightforward and serious, and the content was also secretive, like a ...... It's changed personally, and it really worries me. ”
Wang Yong shook his head: "I guess it's too much pressure." At present, the whole country is readjusting, the economic structure is being adjusted, the energy structure is being adjusted, all walks of life are in a state of confusion, and the pressure on the military department is even greater. ”
Yang Xue muttered, "Maybe...... I'm just worried about my dad's body, hey. ”
Wang Yong stroked his wife's head and said with a smile:
"Anyway, the above things are not something we can predict, so it's enough for us to worry about our little family, and we will be satisfied if we can live a peaceful life. As for you, take good care of your children at home, and don't worry about other things. Your father is a capable commander who has a lot of say in the military, and with his prestige and character, you don't have to worry about him. ”
Yang Xue hummed softly, her eyes were shining with tenderness, she gently snuggled in her husband's arms, her hands around Wang Yong's neck, and her face was filled with a happy smile.
......
After Yang Jiandong returned to his villa, he closed the door and sat on the sofa in the hall with a tired face, leaning back on the sofa and closing his eyes to recuperate.
"Dad. A delicate voice sounded in Yang Jiandong's ears, Yang Jiandong opened his eyes, looked sideways, and saw Chen Xueqi sitting beside him.
"It's still called Dad, it's such an adult. Yang Jiandong squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"Anyway, there are no outsiders, so it doesn't matter if you call it that at home. Chen Xueqi playfully spit out her pink tongue and said.
"Hey, little one. Yang Jiandong flicked Chen Xueqi's forehead lightly with his fingers, Chen Xueqi pursed her lips and bit Yang Jiandong's arm hard.
After raising her head, Chen Xueqi looked at Yang Jiandong a little nervously and said:
"Dad, you don't seem to be in a good mood today?
"It's not a big deal, it's just that a group of old employees have left in the production workshop today, and my father is a little melancholy. Yang Jiandong explained softly, "Several employees have worked in the workshop with their fathers, and they have a little feelings...... Before I knew it, I missed it a little. And now young new employees are also difficult to recruit, one by one is rushing to easy high wages, every other day to leave, labor costs and labor costs are also high, the cost of drugs in the company has gone up, I don't know how, the central bank has raised the reserve ratio again, the stock market is also bleak, listed companies are difficult to do, the RMB is depreciating, foreigners have escaped hot money, the cost of imported drugs has also risen, so the pharmaceutical industry is not easy. ”
"Will Dad's business have a big impact in the future?" asked Chen Xueqi with some anxiety.
"Don't worry, it's not going to be big. Yang Jiandong dispelled Chen Xueqi's worries, "Dad's company has also been doing it for many years, and it has also played a brand, and the reputation of foreign customers has been very good, the key is that Dad is now very dedicated to this industry, not like others to speculate in real estate to do some unclean business, now the real estate is losing money, small and medium-sized enterprises can not borrow money and go bankrupt a lot, but Dad's company has also become bigger, if it was a few years ago, it may have an impact, but now, it does not have much impact." ”
"But didn't you say that the cost is rising......
"The cost has gone up, but the quality of Dad's company's drugs has also gone up," Yang Jiandong touched Chen Xueqi's head and said, "Now Dad's company has been vigorously introducing biotechnology, and the quality has gone up, although the cost has gone up, but the competitiveness has gone up, and the profit is still unchanged." ”
Chen Xueqi sighed, and then said with a smile:
"That's fine...... After all, it's still Hello Dad, who has been making medicines for so many years and is so single-minded. Dad, you have had several opportunities to do other more profitable businesses, but you still insist on making medicine, so you can accumulate today. ”
Yang Jiandong smiled softly, but didn't say anything, and when Chen Xueqi turned around and entered the kitchen, he looked at her back softly, and then muttered a smile:
"Silly girl, it's all because I saved your life with medicine back then, and my father plans to take this road to the end......"
December 24th.
After carefully inspecting his protective suit and confirming that there was no problem, Wang Shengsheng glanced at the radio emission watch on his wrist, and then raised his head to see that Yu Wenlong was wearing a clumsy protective helmet there. The clumsy appearance of the old man, who was usually calm and capable, made him feel amused. "Wenlong, you can go to the United States to play football in this suit." ”
"Don't laugh, let's get started. Seeing his old partner gloating there, Yu Wenlong was annoyed.
"Actually, you don't have to come, just stay in Zhongnanhai and wait for good news. "Help his partner put on a protective helmet, but Wang Shengsheng himself did not mean to wear a helmet.
"You're a bit out of tune, life. After working together for so many years, isn't this the moment you have been waiting for?" Wei Wenlong's eyes flashed. "Today, I must use my eyes to witness this history. ”
Wang Shengsheng smiled without saying a word, he looked at the guard next to him, and said:
"How's the resettlement of the people?"
"All technical staff have been sent to an underground shelter, cut off from all external communications, and there is no possibility of leakage! Except for the three chief engineers in charge of data verification, who are still working on the final job, all personnel are ready!"
"That's it. Wang Shengsheng listened to the report of the guards with satisfaction, then looked at Wei Wenlong and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight." ”
Yu Wenlong smiled slightly and said:
"I haven't had a good night's sleep with you for so many years. ”
Wang Shengsheng smiled slightly, the two of them tacitly, their eyes crossed the fixed metal elevated platform, and landed on the world's largest e-cat device in the experimental center, the transversely placed cylindrical device on the device emitted orange light, after thoroughly mastering the specific parameters between the resonance frequency produced by the absorption of hydrogen ions by the nickel lattice and the superthermal phenomenon produced by the decay of its neutrons, China has become the number one cold fusion technology power far more than the United States.
"Let's start and keep your eyes open to record this worldwide moment. ”
"The reaction chamber is sealed properly!"
"Catalyst input is normal!"
"The catalytic module is connected normally!"
"Fifteen-second countdown ......"
“...... Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!"
"Start the ignition!"
"The copper pipe water flow is normal!"
"Hydrogen ions are released with the motion!"
"Reactor temperature rises!"
"Reactor operation begins!"
"The nickel core resonance frequency is normal!"
"The operating temperature of the unit is normal!"
"The continuous output of energy is normal!"
"The heating is normal!"
"The steam pusher is working properly!"
"The output power has reached the predetermined target!"
"Power generation success!"
Three days later, China's State Material Reserves Bureau made a big move, buying about 120,000 tonnes of nickel, equivalent to two-thirds of the inventory in the London Metal Exchange's warehouses. Nickel trading volume on the London Metal Exchange has skyrocketed.
Four days later, in the North Sea Brent crude oil trading market, which had been bleak because of Christmas, crude oil prices suddenly began to plummet, crude oil futures prices plummeted by 25 percent, and the Dow Jones index plummeted down, for a very simple reason: Sinopec and PetroChina, the two major international oil buying giants, suddenly stated that they would cancel the original international crude oil purchases, but instead began to sell crude oil from the country by a large margin.
On the same day, the overseas edition of the People's Daily published the news that China had announced that two of China's cold fusion nuclear power plants had been connected to the grid at the same time on the north side of the Qinling Mountains and at the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains......
China's large-scale cancellation of crude oil orders, and even began to export crude oil in reverse, and the news of the establishment of cold fusion power stations with China caused a sensation all over the world, and the Brent crude oil system was officially shaken, and on the same day, the dollar depreciated sharply, and it is believed that from 1973, Kissinger, then assistant to President Nixon's national security affairs, signed a petrodollar agreement with the OPEC organization led by Saudi Arabia, thus establishing a dollar oil system, which was fundamentally challenged for the first time.
On the day China announced the construction of the cold fusion power plant, Western financial speculators, who were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of Christmas, ran to the exchange in horror, watching the dollar exchange rate plummet, watching the money in their pockets drop like a splash, and a wave of despair spread in many parts of the United States. International financial giants have exclaimed, "The Chinese are crazy!"
The same pessimism is spreading in many of the Middle East's oil majors, with Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, and Iraq all of them crying as their country's crude oil prices plummet. The root cause is the huge impact of fusion power generation on their country's oil system. The status of these countries, which had built their international prestige on oil, began to slide into the abyss.
