Chapter 978: Pretend to Be Cool and Run Away

In front of the Coro City Presidential Palace, this pure white building is a beautiful park-like lawn. On the lawn in front of the Presidential Palace, the people of New Zealand stood in darkness. They looked excited, and they looked up at the podium where the president delivered his speech.

Amidst the applause, their beloved President Zhang Yaping walked to the stage, waved his hands with a smile, cleared his throat, and straightened the microphone.

"Today is a great day."

"Just this morning, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., our compatriots on the lunar colony have sent us 20 million kilowatt-hours of electricity."

"You may be surprised, but now I am honored to announce this fact to you."

"Our breakthrough in long-distance power transmission technology has enabled our power grid to be connected to the power grid of the lunar colony!"

The scene erupted with long-suppressed cheers. Countless people waved the national flag of the new country in their hands and celebrated this great moment with cheers. Sitting in the special seat, looking at Zhang Yaping who was delivering a speech in front of the stage, Jiang Chen smiled, nodded, and clapped his hands gently.

When the voices in the audience paused for a moment, Zhang Yaping looked at the people with a smile, raised his hands, and spoke loudly and passionately.

"We have always had to pay for expensive electricity prices due to our reliance on imported energy and the high cost of nuclear power. We have had to sacrifice the environment, sacrifice safety, and sacrifice our children and grandchildren, but now, I solemnly announce to you that all this It has become history.”

The environmentalist groups in the audience looked at their president with excitement. Most of them wore green turbans and green shirts, making them clearly distinguishable from the crowd. Ever since the construction of thermal power plants and nuclear power plants in New Zealand, they have clearly expressed their opposition.

And now, it all finally pays off!

Although it has nothing to do with their protest...

"Starting today, I declare."

"The new country will comprehensively promote the process of eliminating thermal power, denuclearization and electrification! Let this picturesque archipelago stay young forever!"

"In addition, I make a promise here. Our country's basic electricity price will be reduced tenfold within a month!"

"..."

There were thunderous cheers from the audience. Jiang Chen, who was sitting in the special seat, crossed his legs.

Looking at the excited crowd in the audience with a smile. Starting today, the new country will open a new chapter and usher in a new era of electrification.

Throughout world history, no matter what means are used to dilute it, it is always capital that promotes social progress, not ideas. When the cost of electricity is infinitely compressed, high-efficiency and energy-saving electric drive equipment will naturally spread rapidly to every corner of society.

Because of this light coming from the moon, the new country has boarded the train of rapid development.

From pure electric vehicles to digital cities, the door to the future has been opened to them!

"...Now, please allow me to hand over the remaining time to Mr. Jiang Chen, the chairman of Futureman Group." Amidst the applause, Zhang Yaping smiled warmly and made a gesture to Jiang Chen, who was slowly stepping onto the podium. Please gesture, and then stepped aside.

The thunderous applause paused for a moment. Jiang Chen cleared his throat and stretched out his hand to straighten the microphone.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Chen. It's an honor to stand here and say hello to everyone."

"As a responsible company, we will actively respond to the policies of the new government."

"Here, I announce that starting today, the new country will shut down its first and last nuclear power plant on Koro Island!"

The environmentalists in the audience burst into cheers. Jiang Chen smiled and nodded at these young men wearing green headscarves, and continued.

"Most of the facilities used for nuclear reactions in the nuclear power plant will be dismantled, leaving only a deuterium-producing reactor for producing deuterium compounds. The original site of the nuclear power plant will be transformed into a safe and harmless deuterium extraction plant for separation from seawater. Deuterium oxide."

"Some people may ask, what are we using to produce deuterium? Is it to make nuclear weapons?"

"Before explaining this problem, I would like to ask you to think about a question. From today on, we will enjoy the electric energy shot from the moon. However, how do the lunar colonies generate electricity?"

"Solar energy? Many scholars and experts around the world have speculated this way."

"But what I'm saying here is that this is a misunderstanding."

After looking around at the crowd, Jiang Chen paused and raised his voice.

"In order to clear up possible misunderstandings, I have decided to disclose to you another document that was originally a Class A secret of the Future People Group!"

Jiang Chen noticed that when he mentioned the word "confidential", the audience was completely silent, and everyone was waiting with bated breath for his next words. Especially those Western reporters carrying cameras, they had already smelled the big news, and they couldn't wait to put their cameras on Jiang Chen's face.

Under the expectation of everyone, Jiang Chen slowly spoke.

"Not just wireless power transmission, our biggest breakthrough is controllable nuclear fusion. As early as two months ago, the world's first nuclear fusion generator using helium 3 and deuterium as fuel has been built in the lunar colony!"

These words were like a depth charge thrown directly into the center of the crowd.

Including reporters, New Zealand citizens, and tourists passing by to join in the fun, everyone was subconsciously stunned for two seconds.

Taking advantage of this gap, Jiang Chen wisely gave up the podium position to Zhang Yaping and hurriedly got off the stage before the media gathered around him.

Listening to the incredible exclamations and shouts from behind, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

The feeling of pretending to be cool and running away is really exciting.

…

Jiang Chen didn't know how Zhang Yaping calmed down the chaotic scene and calmed the reporters who rushed forward excitedly, because after his speech, he went straight to the office of the Presidential Palace and sat on the sofa to rest.

After about half an hour, Zhang Yaping, who announced the end of his speech, returned to the Presidential Palace and went straight back to his office.

After seeing Jiang Chen sitting in his office, he casually asked his assistant to make two cups of black tea, then sat on the sofa opposite Jiang Chen and said with a smile in the tone of chatting with an old friend.

"A very good speech, you stole all my limelight."

"Really? Then I have to go back and raise the salary of the assistant who helped me write the speech."

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Jiang Chen took a sip of the still-hot black tea, then smiled and talked about other topics, "It seems that your election is secure?"

"Of course," Zhang Yaping laughed and winked at Jiang Chen humorously, "Polls show that our support rate is over 80%, which is much higher than the Whig Party in second place and the Socialist Party in third place. . As long as no accident occurs, I will still be sitting in this seat for the next four years."

When saying this, Zhang Yaping cleverly used the phrase "our support rate."

However, Jiang Chen didn't care about his little intention to please him. He just smiled faintly, gently stirred the black tea with white mist with a spoon, and said softly, "There won't be any accidents."

"It is said that the Whig Party was supported by the British government, and they advocated promoting the new country to join the Commonwealth. The Democratic Party was also supported by the Democratic Party on the other side of the Pacific. They advocated the restoration of the United States' support for Pannu in the 1970s. Trusteeship of the Islands, abolition of private armed defense contracting..."

"They can't make waves." Jiang Chen smiled and said softly, "The ghosts are watching them."

Hearing this, Zhang Yaping's lips suddenly opened into a smile.

Compared with the young man who approached Jiang Chen four years ago for his ideals, he has now become a smooth and understanding politician. He knows very well that as long as he holds on to the golden thigh of the Future People Group, his presidential status will be unshakable.

And Jiang Chen, who needs a stable political environment, will never easily replace his long-term partner. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
