Chapter 58: Sell controlled nuclear fusion technology in a package
Just as the foreign countries were arguing fiercely about this matter, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China quietly released a draft.
"Draft on the Package Sale of Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology"
The content of the statement was very simple, even just a few short lines.
[Controlled Nuclear Fusion Reactor Technology: $10 billion]
[Controlled Nuclear Fusion MHD Generator Technology: $10 billion]
[Room - temperature Superconducting Technology: $10 billion]
[Daily Maintenance and Installation Work: $5 billion]
[Package Sale Price of the Full Set of Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology: $28 billion]
[Note: China only accepts mineral resources of equivalent value and does not accept any form of cash or other forms of assets.]
The above was the entire content of this draft.
It was more like a price list than a draft.
...
In Shanghai.
Zhao Zijie stared at the news on his phone in disbelief.
What the hell?
Sell in a package... controlled nuclear fusion technology?
Could these words be put together like this?!
Could it be a spoof news...
He quickly glanced at the news publisher.
The Ministry of Science and Technology of China.
Zhao Zijie fell into silence.
He felt like there were so many things to complain about, but he didn't know where to start for a moment.
With a slight movement of his finger, he shared the news in the QQ group.
"?!"
"Damn it?"
"Did I see it wrong? Selling controlled nuclear fusion in a package?!"
"Damn, there's a 20% discount for a package purchase. It's really user - friendly!"
Looking at the reactions of his group friends, Zhao Zijie typed a line of words.
"I don't know why, but now I'm more and more convinced that China has mastered the second - generation nuclear fusion technology..."
Zhao Zijie's words immediately drew a chorus of approval.
"That makes sense!"
"It's just China's traditional move. No need to be surprised!"
"Make way, make way! Our company specializes in refurbishing nuclear warheads, polishing submarines, recycling second - hand aircraft carriers, patching leaks in aircraft carriers and submarines, overhauling nuclear reactors, maintaining and refurbishing space shuttles, and cleaning the dust on the surface of satellites at high altitudes!"
"..."
Among the chatting full of bragging and joking, a reply caught Zhao Zijie's attention.
"Am I the only one who noticed the last note? China only accepts exchanges with mineral resources of equivalent value!"
Zhao Zijie's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly opened the news interface to check carefully.
This item was indeed specified in the notes!
This was strange!
Logically speaking, China was not short of ore resources.
In fact, it was even a major ore - exporting country.
So why now... suddenly start using nuclear fusion technology to acquire ore resources?
Zhao Zijie subconsciously turned on the computer beside him and searched for the ore export volume of China in the past year on the browser.
He was shocked when he searched.
In just half a year, China's ore export volume had dropped to a freezing point!
Zhao Zijie licked his dry lips, and a flash of excitement appeared in his eyes.
He quickly found the ore import and export data of China in the past two years.
Looking at the comparison data on the computer screen, Zhao Zijie took a sharp breath.
In just half a year, China's ore resource export volume had decreased by 90% year - on - year!
Correspondingly, China's ore resource import volume had increased by 50% year - on - year!
"Is... something big going to happen..."
Zhao Zijie swallowed and muttered to himself.
...
With the release of this draft, the entire international situation became a complete mess.
In the White House of the United States.
"Damn it... What on earth is China trying to do?!"
Albert looked at the document in front of him, his eyes twitching violently.
Professor Collins, who was standing aside, said nervously in a low voice, "Your Excellency, the President, I think we should buy this technology from China."
"..."
"Professor Collins, what did you say?" Albert suddenly raised his head and looked at Professor Collins in front of him in disbelief.
"Since when does the United States need to buy technology from China?!"
There was a lot of bitterness in Professor Collins' eyes.
"Your Excellency, the President, I know this is hard to accept.
But there's no other way.
If other countries all buy the controlled nuclear fusion technology from China, we will be in a passive position."
Albert's face gradually turned red. He reached out and slapped the solid - wood desk in front of him hard, "Damn China!"
"Fxxk!!"
"What about our controlled nuclear fusion technology?
Professor Collins, answer me, how far has our nuclear fusion technology progressed?!"
Professor Collins was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We have currently completed a quarter of the construction plan."
"Slap!"
Albert reached out and slapped his forehead, muttering to himself, "Oh, God..."
"So all our previous investments have been in vain?!"
Facing Albert's question, Professor Collins nodded with a solemn expression.
"I'm afraid so.
Your Excellency, according to the intelligence, China's fusion reactor adopts a stellarator structure, which is completely different from the experimental reactor we are building. So..."
Albert let out a deep sigh and waved his right hand feebly, interrupting Collins' words.
Just now, he had a premonition.
It seemed that... the United States was going to decline under his leadership.
...
Unlike the United States, the Western European countries were in a state of frenzy at this time.
Controlled nuclear fusion technology!
That was controlled nuclear fusion technology!
The United Kingdom made a decision first and dialed the phone number of China.
"Hello, I need to buy the full set of controlled nuclear fusion technology!"
"$28 billion worth of mineral resources... Give me some time, and the United Kingdom will get it together!"
The staff member who answered the phone had a smile on his face.
"May I ask if you need other services? For example, outsourcing the construction project?"
"Believe that the construction speed of China will satisfy you."
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom showed a hint of eagerness in his eyes, "What about the charging issue..."
"Just add another $500 million worth of ore resources."
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom showed a hint of bitterness in his eyes, "Forget it, forget it..."
He was already worried about the $28 billion worth of mineral resources!
Adding another $500 million?
Wasn't this killing him!
Seemingly sensing the difficulties of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the staff member said with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't have to be mineral resources.
EUV lithography technology, or other high - end technologies, can also be used for exchange."
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom's breathing slightly stagnated, and he said with difficulty, "I need to discuss it..."
"Please be quick. After all, France has also sent a message."
The staff member "kindly" reminded.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a reply as soon as possible..."
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly hung up the phone.
Looking at the "price list" in front of him, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom had a thought in his mind.
Perhaps... China, which had been suppressed by them for decades, was about to rise completely!
