Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 117 Military? Nuclear Fusion
Seeing that the matter was almost resolved, Li Weidong said goodbye to Director Wang and left.

I returned home, entered the bedroom, gently took off my clothes, went to bed, and just lay down.

"Why are you back? I thought you were staying at Xiao'e's place?" Zhou Xiaolin's voice sounded a little bitter.

"Xiaolin, you haven't slept yet?" Li Weidong said in surprise.

"Humph!"

"Xiaolin, don't be angry. I should have come back a long time ago, but something happened, so I came back so late." Li Weidong said.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xiaolin asked.

Li Weidong told Zhou Xiaolin what had just happened in Courtyard No. 95.

"How shameless! You are talking about that woman and her husband's master? The men in your yard didn't stop fighting, but stared at Qin Huairu. What kind of people were there in your yard before? It's too much." Zhou Xiaolin said.

"Yes."

"Correct."

"That man is so mean."

"That woman is not a good person either."

Li Weidong...

"No, you all haven't slept yet?" Li Weidong looked at the five women who were talking, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Can we sleep well when you are not at home?" Wang Xinyi said

"That's right." Yang Ruoxi agreed

"Dongzi, you weren't staring at that woman, were you?" Chen Xueru suddenly asked.

The other four also turned their heads and looked at Li Weidong, waiting for his answer.

"Stop joking. Why would I look at that kind of woman? She has given birth to three children and I don't know how many people she has had sex with. I despise her!" Li Weidong hurriedly explained.

"Okay! I was wondering why you haven't touched us much in such a short time! Tell me, do you dislike us too?" Zhou Xiaolin said with a frown.

Li Weidong...

"Do you also dislike us for having children?" Yang Ruoxi said.

"That's right, he runs to Lou Xiao'e every day. Humph," Chen Xueru also said.

"Dongzi, explain it to me." Wang Xinyi said with a smile. She just wanted to watch the fun and not mind getting involved.

"Haha." Xu Huizhen also laughed. The girls knew that Li Weidong really loved them. It was just that the matter between Li Weidong and Lou Xiao'e made them feel a little uncomfortable, so they went to Li Weidong to vent their anger. Otherwise, if he didn't restrain himself, what would happen if he went out again and brought back another one?
"You're such a rebel! How dare you talk to me like that?" Li Weidong also saw it, but he wasn't going to explain. Words are never as convincing as actions, so...

The next day

Li Weidong and his friends are having breakfast.

"Dongzi, when will our institute start the new project? My dad has asked me several times." Wang Xinyi asked.

"My dad also asked me." Yang Ruoxi also said.

"Brother Dong, what do you think?" Zhou Xiaolin asked.

Li Weidong pondered for a moment and said, "I've been feeling the wind's blowing lately. Xinyi, tell Dad to first digest the CNC machine tool technology and other things he already has. I think we should focus on developing military products during this time. Let me think about the specific projects later."

Li Weidong felt a storm was coming and wanted to be more stable. Secondly, his space had become a small world, and his deduction ability had been greatly improved. After all, he was deducing within a single world.

However, it's useless for him to deduce it. He can't produce it without the basics. What's the point of him being the only one who knows? He should be responsible for teaching and cultivating more talents.

This brings us back to the point where when a storm hits, classes and work will be suspended. After some thought, I decided to research military products. This storm is the smallest in the military. After all, the military has to defend their country, so they won't be allowed to do anything reckless.

"Brother Dong, don't be too anxious. You have been busy for so many years. It's normal to take a break." Zhou Xiaolin said.

"Yes, Dongzi, it's good to take a break." Chen Xueru said.

The other girls also comforted Li Weidong and told him not to be too anxious.

Li Weidong nodded, but thought to himself that it was impossible for him to be idle all the time. He must find something to do. Ten years? How could he be idle for ten years?
Li Weidong and the girls went to work after breakfast. They first sent Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru to the store, and then went to the research institute.

Arriving at the institute, Li Weidong immediately went to his office, writing and drawing, planning his next steps.

After a morning of deliberation, I finally decided to build a power station. Without energy, nothing can be done. Thermal power, well, too polluting, ruled it out. Wind power, well, too expensive, and too low a yield, ruled it out too. Hydropower, well, that's possible, but it would have to be built elsewhere, and it wouldn't be feasible in Beijing. I'm expecting a child, and I'd have to travel far, so I ruled it out too. Photovoltaic power, the investment cost is also quite high, and it takes up too much land. A smaller one wouldn't be enough, so I ruled it out too. The only option left is nuclear power.

A nuclear fission reactor is a possibility, but it causes too much pollution, is difficult to discharge, emits radiation, and is also dangerous. It is not suitable for New Taipei City, so it is ruled out.

A nuclear fusion reactor is a good idea. It has high energy, is pollution-free, and the raw materials are easy to find. Nuclear fusion primarily uses deuterium, and the surface seawater on the Blue Planet contains about 10^14 tons of deuterium, which can be extracted from the seawater. The only problem is that the technology is not yet controllable. He could deduce it in the small world and then manufacture it outside.

After thinking about it, Li Weidong decided that the next project would be a controlled nuclear fusion reactor. The first step was to find a place to build this thing. He couldn't do it in the old city. What if it exploded?
Even if there is a small world deduction that can guarantee absolute safety, his superiors will not let him do it in the city of Sijiu.

It's too dangerous. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one. Leaders don't care if you're 100% safe or 100% sure. This is the capital, so don't even think about such a dangerous thing.

Li Weidong took out a map of the city and began to study it. After a while, he found that Changping was the better choice. There were many mountains there, and it would be safer to build a nuclear power plant in the mountains. Then Li Weidong closed the map and called his two fathers-in-law. He first explained the nuclear power plant project and then discussed the land issue. The two fathers-in-law said that it was difficult to explain over the phone and that they would come over later. Li Weidong hung up the phone and said he would talk to them when they arrived.

After a while, the two fathers-in-law drove over. After arriving, Li Weidong invited the two fathers-in-law into the conference room and gave them a detailed introduction to the role and value of the controlled nuclear fusion power station.

After listening to Li Weidong's presentation, the two fathers-in-law asked a few questions, such as whether it was safe and whether it would explode. Li Weidong answered them one by one. Then, the two fathers-in-law took Li Weidong's plan back and reported it to their superiors, asking Li Weidong to wait for further notice.
