Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 568: Cross-regional grids

Moscow.

An office in the Kremlin Palace.

Sitting behind a redwood desk, a man with a strong appearance frowned slightly after hearing the debriefing from his men.

“Waking up? ”

Standing in the office, the man in the leather jacket nodded.

“Yes… Professor Ark has woken up from a coma, according to our intelligence agents. According to our experts at the World Health Organization, there is no direct evidence that his coma was caused by human factors. Likely, just overtired. ”

Overtired, unconscious for over 20 days.

While this sounds somewhat paranoid, it seems that this speculation is now the most reliable, as opposed to other baseless inferences.

Standing up and walking to the window, Mr. Vladimir stared at the red field outside the Kremlin Palace, and the eagle's gaze was slightly dimmed so that no one could see what he was thinking.

The Ark is still alive.

This is absolutely not good news for Russia.

The Russian economy is heavily dependent on energy exports, while China is the second-largest buyer of Russian crude oil and gas, accounting for 18 per cent of total exports.

If the leveraging effect of falling oil prices were to make the United States dollar stronger in the short term, the fight against the rubles would be unacceptable to all Russians.

While it is likely that China will not cut its imports of crude oil and gas to Russia in the short term in order to bring Russia closer together, this undoubtedly means that those Chinese will have more leverage in the energy import negotiations.

The global political situation was originally one of dynamic balance.

As the controllable fusion bomb was thrown into the lake, the balance had been completely broken at the moment.

Somehow, in Vladimir's mind, a terrible picture suddenly appeared.

Will the factory in Siberia, someday in the future, in turn rely on China's electricity grid?

It's scary to think about it...

I wish that man would never wake up.

If he walks away, his experience will undoubtedly become a legend, and his name will be remembered as the greatest scholar of the century. Not only would the Chinese mourn him, but even themselves, and even the President of the United States, would fake a eulogy for his death.

But the trouble is, he's still alive...

“Mr. President…”

Turning his back to his men, Vladimir said with no expression: “What's wrong? ”

The man in the leather jacket lowered his voice and said, “Why don't we...”

“I know what you're thinking, but it's impossible," Vladimir retracted his sight from the window and walked back to his desk to sit down again, "and we couldn't risk offending the Chinese, especially at this critical point. And that's the stupidest thing to do. ”

In any case, assassination is a very low-level means, because it breaks the bottom line of a civilized nation.

Especially for an internationally renowned scholar.

Especially if the other party is capable of homogeneous revenge.

The man in the leather jacket stood there silently, waiting for the president's order.

Sitting at the desk for a long time, Vladimir said.

“Keep gathering intelligence on controllable fusion, if they're already ahead, at least we can't leave them too far behind. ”

Looking at the information on the table, when he saw a line, he stunned slightly and his eyebrows picked it by accident.

“... single? ”

At this point, however, the door of the office suddenly opened.

“Latest news! ”

In a rush to Vladimir's desk, the Russian Foreign Minister quickly said, "China has negotiated with Myanmar and Laos on issues related to cross-regional grid interconnection projects. Although it is unclear whether cooperation has been achieved, according to reliable information, the Chinese side has provided the two countries with a very tempting... The price of confusion...”

Vladimir's pupils contracted slightly as soon as he heard the words, not enough to blame him for not knocking.

Surely, what he feared most eventually happened.

Although there is no core interest in Russia in South-East Asia, this is not yet a happy news.

Now it's Laos and Myanmar, so what's next?

It is to continue southwards, expanding the energy corridor to Viet Nam, Thailand and even further afield Malay, to the point of including the whole of Malacca within its sphere of influence, paving the way for the rise of maritime rights.

Still going west along the Silk Road, connecting the five Central Asian countries, continue to play its land-based power...

Perhaps only God can answer that question.

……

Shangjing.

Hospital 301.

I was just out for a walk, and the ark didn't expect that someone would suddenly call me halfway.

Looking at the middle-aged man, who shouted his name and followed his footsteps, the ark cast a gaze of inquiry at him.

“Who are you?”

Looking at the ark, the man smiled and reached out his right hand and said, "Introducing myself, I'm CTV Chief, Rocky. ”

TV station director?

Since when is the station director so idle?

He is also the station manager of Station C...

Despite the surprise in his heart, the ark grinned and shook his right hand.

“Hello, Chief Ross. ”

There are too many people who have visited him these days. Although the director of the central television station is also a small official, it is not surprising to see too much.

“Hello, hello. All said Professor Lu was young,” He shook his hand in the ark and laughed with a full smile, and then introduced him to the one behind him. "This is Comrade He Ying, the host of the ‘Light of Science’ program on our stage. ”

He Ying politely smiled: “Hello Professor Lu. ”

“Hello,” she nodded with a smile. The ark turned to Chief Ross and said in a joking tone, “Is Chief Ross planning to visit me personally? ”

“Ha ha, I'd like to interview you. Unfortunately, I have been away from the front line of work for too long. Let me give this opportunity to my young comrades.” Chief Ross laughed and turned to look at Wang Ying. “Comrade He, please explain the situation to Professor Lu. ”

“Good station manager. ”

Looking to the ark, He Ying politely said: “Here's the thing, it's almost New Year's Eve and the people of the country are concerned about your health. If you have time, we'd like to invite you to a show by Kopp. ”

Ark: “About controlled nuclear fusion? ”

He Ying nodded: “It may be related to nuclear fusion, but it's mainly about you. ”

The ark thought about it and said.

“I don't have a problem with that, but you better go to the relevant department for the show. After all, a lot of things are sensitive, and I'm not comfortable talking in public. ”

He Ming nodded with a smile. “You can rest assured that the content of the program will not involve sensitive issues and that confidential work has been taken into account. ”

The ark nodded: "Well, when was the interview? ”

Seeing Ark Boat promised to come down, He Yingxing relieved himself and gave a joyful look on his face, “Tomorrow at 2: 00 noon, our show is going to air the day before the New Year. ”

Professor Ark was invited to do a guest show, and the group could be said to have been planning it for quite some time. Much work began even at the end of last year, including obtaining permits from other sectors, including soliciting questions from the public at large via telephone, internet, etc., and screening the content of the questions.

Not only did the people in the group do a lot of work, but she also spent a lot of time preparing herself.

After all, being able to interview Ark herself would also be an important part of her career.

Looking at the hopeful look on the face of the host, the ark nodded with a smile: "Well, then, I'll be there. ”

Anyway, the station manager came in person and refused seems a little bad.

Although the Ark feels that the motivation of Chief Ross to visit him here is probably not relevant to the show itself, the probability is that he is just like other people who have been visiting him in these two days, he just intends to take this opportunity to get acquainted with himself...

Although the Ark itself is unclear, in its own mixed face, whether it means anything to them.

Looking at the Ark, he agreed to an interview with the people at Central Vision. He saw Chief Luo leaving with the host. Yan Yen, who had not spoken from beginning to end, looked at the Ark with some apprehension.

“Is your body okay? ”

The Ark laughed and said, "I've almost recovered. It's better to go out for a walk than to get moldy here. I'll have to ask you to write it for me when I get out. ”

Although Yan Yeon did not agree with him very much for safety reasons, she sighed after hesitation.

“Well... I'll go with you then. ”

The ark coughed softly: "… In fact, if you don't want to go, you don't have to force yourself, I'll go alone. ”

A pair of willow eyebrows raised, Yan Yeon immediately said: “How can this work! If anything happens to you again, I...”

Somehow, halfway through this, she suddenly couldn't speak.

Faced with the sight of the landing boat, Yan Yeon bit his teeth and finally took a deep breath.

“... nothing, when I didn't say anything. ”

I can't possibly tell him that because of the last time her dad almost kicked her out of the house, right?

It's embarrassing to say it!

Ark: “…? ”

So, what exactly did Pangolin say?
