Chapter 1011

“…… Four flaming steeds, chariots carrying the fire, gallop in the air, from east to west, rising in the morning and staying up late, making the light shine all over the world. "

Yawning in the limousine, listening to the singing tone, I took a look at minister Novak, who was sitting next to him, from the land boat with its eyes drawn back from the window.

"What are you talking about?"

The hairy son laughed. He was so kind that people could not see that he was the head of the Russian Ministry of energy. Instead, he was like a warm guide, explaining to the boat in a funny way.

"Homer Epic! About Helios It's also the nuclear power plant we're about to arrive at! "

Said, his tone with emotion.

"In order to make the light closer to the ground, the son of Helios accidentally ignited the earth, turned Libby / Asia into a desert, and burned the skin of Ethiopian residents to black. Homer probably didn't think of it two or three thousand years ago. People not only achieved the great work that gods could accomplish, but also surpassed gods and found a gentle way to explain it The energy of the sun. "

Lu Zhou: " How come the version you're talking about is a little different from what I've heard? "

Minister Novak said with a smile, "it's not surprising that there are many versions of this kind of oral compilation. Besides, later generations will go through some artistic processing when sorting out. If you are interested, we can find an opportunity to have a good chat. I also have some research on this aspect."

"Thank you, but I'm not particularly interested in myths and legends," Lu declined politely

For him, taking a day to deal with things that have nothing to do with learning is the limit he can accept.

Especially at the gate where the IMU conference is about to start.

"Well, I understand that not everyone has the talent to be a poet..." With a helpless shrug, Minister Novak's eyes fell out of the window, looking at the nearby wall and saying, "here we are."

The Helios nuclear power plant is located along the Baltic Sea, surrounded by a high wall and guarded by Russian troops like the fusion power plant in Haizhou.

On the stone tablet in front of the main gate of the wall, Lu Zhou saw three trademarks, two of which were Guangdong Nuclear Power Construction Group, which was responsible for the construction of Xihe reactor, and East Asia power, which was responsible for the supply of the reactor core. As for the other, Rosatom, the real owner of the fusion power station.

As the oligarch in Russia's nuclear power field, Rosatom company controls almost all the production links of the entire Russian industrial chain from top to bottom, even the vast majority of uranium mines in Siberia.

Cooperation with such enterprises is not only the initiative choice of East Asia electric power, but also the option supported by Russian officials.

According to the contract signed between East Asia power and Rosatom, East Asia power will sell the core to Rosatom at an expensive price, and send engineers to Helios nuclear power station to provide technical services for 20 years.

These technical services include the maintenance and upgrading of the core control system, including the inspection of the safety condition of the core, in a word, every effort is made to ensure the normal operation of the core.

At the same time, in the past two decades, East Asia power will share 13% of the profits generated by the core provided by East Asia power.

Although this kind of thing is sold to you and the way of cooperation to make money with your things is a little bit like an unequal treaty, who wants to have only one East Asian power company in the world now?

While the European Union and North America were still swinging, Russia signed the agreement without saying a word. It was just because of this that they succeeded in becoming the land boat of East Asia power. It was really surprising that Academician Wang also came.

"After all, it's the first overseas project of our nuclear fusion project. I can't say without asking," Wang Zengguang laughed, squished his eyebrows toward the surprised boat, and continued, "come on, people from Rosatom company have been waiting for us for a long time. Don't you see that Mr. lemontov is impatient? Let's not stand at the door either. Come in and talk. "

The party didn't stay at the door for long.

Even without Academician Wang's urging, Minister Novak did not intend to let Lu Zhou stand at the door to continue his greetings.

He can't wait for the ignition ceremony to begin.

On the way to the command tower of the fusion power station, Lu Zhou learned from small talk that as a representative of the nuclear industry group, Academician Wang arrived much earlier than himself, even within a week.

The original ignition should have started a week ago, but it was postponed to now for various reasons.

Although this has nothing to do with China's side, mainly with Russia's own arrangement, many technicians and management personnel of Rosatom have a lot of complaints about this.

After all, a week late ignition means a week later power on, and a week later power on means their capital chain has to bear another week of pressure.If the fire is delayed because of safety or other technical reasons, it is only a little bit uncomfortable to wait for a Chinese flight and a minister's political show to adjust the ignition date back for a whole week.

But in any case, the moment finally came.

At this moment, a group of people were standing in the control tower.

The man standing at the head, naturally, is minister Novak, while the people standing beside him are mostly senior officials of the Russian Ministry of energy and core technicians of several nuclear power enterprises.

The cameras are all around the command room. The reporters with long guns and short guns in their hands make the command room, which is not very spacious, more crowded.

However, no one paid attention to these details, staring at the screen and buttons on the front console, and almost all the Russians in the audience held their breath.

All the work was ready a week ago.

Now it's just about to press the last button!

Under everyone's eyes, Minister Novak, standing in front of the console, tried to calm his heart, watching the button in front of him repeatedly rubbing his index finger and thumb.

At last, he took a deep breath. He moved his eyes away from the console, looked around at the reporters who were holding the camera, and Rosatom's engineers, and said in a solemn voice.

"This is a great moment!"

"What it witnessed is not only that the Russian people have finally ushered in a fire that will never go out, but also the friendship between us and the Chinese people May it last as long as the sun, and may our world go on forever in peace because of eternal energy. "

Then, with all the eyes, he pressed the button.

Then

Didn't seem to respond?

Staring at a series of indicators such as the irradiation data and plasma temperature on the console, Lu Zhou frowned slightly. I don't know if it was his illusion. I always felt that this was a little different from the situation when he first pressed the button in Haizhou.

Academician Wang and academician Vassili obviously also saw this, and their looks became dignified.

However, the reporters standing nearby, and Minister Novak himself, who pressed the button, did not seem to find anything wrong, and even cheered.

But just then, the door of the command room was suddenly pushed open, and an engineer in a hard hat walked quickly to minister Novak's side, his face shaking with embarrassment.

"Mr. Minister!"

Originally, there was a cheerful expression on his face. After seeing the engineer's face, he realized that something might be wrong with him, and his face suddenly collapsed.

However, he managed to keep calm and asked with a dignified expression on his face.

“…… What happened? "

"Something's wrong with the core."

There was a sudden silence in the command tower.

The reporters taking pictures stopped.

The expression on minister Novak's face stagnated for a moment.

After returning to his mind, the cold sweat brush on his back and forehead came out.

"What happened?! What does it mean that there is something wrong with the core? "

The Engineer in the helmet swallowed and continued in a trembling voice.

"Our core..."

"It doesn't seem to light."
