With the suspension of the second-generation controllable fusion experimental reactor, the dazzling aurora above the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration also merged into the night behind him. Until the light completely disappeared from sight, the whispers of discussion were like circles of waves, spreading in the venue in the heart of Asia.

Slowly lowering the camera in his hand and staring at the deep darkness, Clooney muttered to himself.

“…Is this Academician Lu’s gift?”

It's a bunker!

Compared to the shock of his reporter, the leaders of various countries who sat in the VIP seats in the exhibition hall were obviously much more intense.

After watching the aurora that lit up the night sky, Minister Ottosky of the Slavic Alliance Science and Technology Department showed a solemn expression on his face.

After taking a deep breath, he glanced at Chairman Willjeff, who was sitting next to him, and said in a serious tone.

"Aurora...incredible. It is almost impossible to form an aurora in mid-latitude areas. Unless..."

Willjeff, who had just come to his senses, asked immediately.

"Unless what?"

"Through some special technology, atmospheric ionization is artificially caused. Or to put it better, they 'ignited' the air with lasers, microwaves or something like that."

Lighted the air?

The expression on Willjeff's face moved slightly and he asked quickly.

"Can such a thing be done? Wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Ottosky shook his head and said.

"It is so dangerous that the earth's atmospheric environment is even tougher than we imagined. As long as it is not a long-term effect based on ten or twenty years, the impact is still very small. But I have to admit that even in just two minutes, it is indeed not an easy task to create an artificial aurora of such a scale."

After looking at Li Guangya's direction, Ottosky leaned closer to Willjeff, and continued to speak in a low voice.

"The aurora that can be seen in the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration... To roughly estimate, they need at least a high-power laser emitting device with a power of 100gw--even 1000gw!"

"It's not just that, but what's more surprising is how they did this in space. If you want to power a laser emitter, you may not have enough power for a nuclear fusion generator set, and it won't be even more visible in space where heat dissipation is difficult."

"You know, even the peak power generation power in Guanghan City is not as exaggerated as 1,000gw..."

Even if all solar power stations on the moon are requisitioned, it is impossible to meet this level of energy demand.

If laser emitters can also be achieved by integrating multiple lattice lasers to form emission arrays, then in terms of energy alone, there is almost no solution based on current technology and actual conditions.

Even if Academician Lu has money, it is impossible. This is not a problem that money can solve!

After hearing Ottosky's explanation, Willjeff's expression became more and more serious, and he asked seriously.

"What is your speculation..."

“There is only one possibility.”

Looking at the expression on Ottosky's face, Willjeff was slightly stunned, and soon read something from his eyes. The serious expression was gradually replaced by an incredible shock.

"Do you mean..."

"Yes," Ottosky nodded, continuing in a complicated tone, "though this may sound a bit incredible...the second-generation controlled fusion research that has been stagnant for a century may have been solved by them."

It's not just the Slavic League.

The leaders of the North Sea Alliance, North American Alliance, and Iberia-France Alliance, which were sitting not far away, also learned about some situations from their staff or the head of the R&D department.

In fact, this is not very difficult to guess.

It is well known that East Asia Power is studying the second-generation controlled fusion technology. Even at the beginning of the year, residents of Guanghan City were in a state of trouble about this matter, and major media are following up on the progress of related events.

Before this, fusion technology research centers in various countries all made comprehensive assessment reports on the project of the second-generation experimental reactor program of East Asia Power, including technical feasibility demonstration, project success rate, forecast completion cycle, possible technical routes... basically all of them can be analyzed.

Especially for the project success rate, almost no research center has given an optimistic rating. Almost without exception, there are pessimistic evaluations about the project's expectations of significant progress in the short term.

These reports were even borrowed from the past by the capital market and became the theoretical basis for many international capital to follow Song Yangwei's short selling of East Asian power... Although their heads were blown up because of a big shot who did not play by the routine.

However, no one expected that East Asia Electric Power would actually get this technology out?!

Not just high-level officials in regional alliances...

Even the chairman of the Pan-Asian cooperation himself did not expect it!

Applause rang out in the venue.

This unique gift was beyond everyone's expectations and imagination. Even the exhibits of the entire Asian Heart were placed together, and even the Asian Heart itself seemed to be overshadowed in front of the vast aurora.

After all, the former is nothing more than artificial things.

Although the latter is mostly man-made, its magnificent scale and momentum are as breathtaking as mysterious power beyond nature.

Even, it only takes two minutes.

Bathed in those fanatical and excited gazes, as well as the applause and cheers that resounded throughout the audience, Lu Zhou waved his hand with a smile, ended his opening speech, turned around and retreated behind the scenes.

Almost as soon as he returned to the scenes, the incident of the unprecedented aurora appearing over the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration on the Internet had already swept the screen in major virtual reality network communities.

People were talking like crazy, what did Academician Lu do in those two minutes!

Looking at Lu Zhou, who bowed and left the venue, walked around the backstage, and returned to the VIP seat, Chairman Li Guangya couldn't wait to ask before he could sit on the stool.

"What was the light just now?"

Hearing this question, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious enough?"

“…Second generation fusion?”

Lu Zhou didn't say anything, just nodded simply.

After receiving a positive answer from Lu Zhou, Li Guangya took a deep breath and after a while, he calmed down from the unsatisfactory shock.

“…I didn’t expect you to do it.”

"I said that I never joke about what I decided to do," Lu Zhou asked casually, "How long will this celebration end?"

"If you are asking about the opening ceremony, it will end at nine o'clock." After looking at the time on the holographic watch, Li Guangya whispered, "If you are asking about the entire celebration, this time will be the closing ceremony three days later."

Lu Zhou smashed his tongue and said.

"It's actually three days like this."

"After all, there are many exhibits participating in the exhibition. Scientific research institutions and high-tech enterprises around the world will join in the fun...even in the distant Mars colony."

When he said this, Li Guangya's heart was filled with complex emotions.

Although the breakthrough of the second-generation controlled fusion technology is a good thing to be happy about, he really didn't expect Lu Zhou to choose to take it out in this way.

Although the expressions on the faces of leaders of various regional alliances made him feel very happy, the consequence is that not only the exhibits in the heart of Asia are overshadowed in front of that ray of light. The important event he originally planned to announce at the closing ceremony is now not sure whether it can overshadow the limelight of the second-generation controlled fusion.

At this moment, he finally realized it.
Chapter completed!
