Chapter 977 - Run After You Showed-Off (1/2)
In front of the pure white Presidential Palace of Coro City was a beautifully constructed lawn. On this lawn, the people of Xin gathered. They looked excited and focused on the stage.
In a round of applause, their beloved President Zhang Yaping stepped onto the stage, smiled, and waved his hand. He then cleared his throat and fixed the microphone.
“Today is a great day.”
“This morning, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, our compatriots on the lunar colony have sent us 20 million kWh of electricity.”
“Maybe you are surprised, but I am now honored to announce this fact to you.”
“The breakthrough we have made in long-distance power transmission technology has enabled our grid to be connected to the power grid of the lunar colony!”
The long-suppressed cheers erupted, and countless people shook the Xin flag in their hands and celebrated this great moment. Sitting on a special guest’s seat, Jiang Chen who was looking at Zhang Yaping speaking in front of the stage, nodded and clapped.
After the whole audience quieted down, Zhang Yaping looked at the people with a smile, raised his hands, and loudly stated.
“All this time we had to pay for expensive electricity prices because of energy dependence, because of the high cost of nuclear power, and because of other reasons. We had to sacrifice the environment, sacrifice safety and sacrifice our children and grandchildren’s future, but now, I solemnly announce to all of you that all that has become history.”
The environmentalists in the audience looked at their president with excitement. Most of them were wearing green headscarves and green shirts, easily distinguishable from the crowd. Since the construction of the thermal power station and the nuclear power plant in Xin, they have raised their voices of opposition.
But now, all this has finally been rewarded!
Although it had nothing to do with their protests…
“From today, I announce.”
“Xin will systemically remove thermal power and nuclear power! Let this picturesque archipelago stay forever!”
“In addition, I am here to make a commitment. The basic electricity price of our country will be cut by ten times in one month!”

The cheers in the audience roared and Jiang Chen smiled at the excited crowd. Starting today, Xin will open a new chapter and usher in a new era of electrification.
Throughout the history of the world, the capital always played a pivotal role in the promotion of social progress. When the cost of electricity is infinitely compressed, energy-efficient electric equipment will naturally spread to every corner of society.
Because of this light from the Moon, Xin has already boarded the train to high speed development.
From pure electric vehicles to digital cities, the door to the future has now opened!
“…Now, please allow me to hand over the rest of this time to Mr. Jiang Chen, the president of Future Group.” In a round of applause, Zhang Yaping smiled warmly and welcomed Jiang Chen who slowly walked onto the stage, as he then retreat to the side.
After the thunderous applause quieted down a little, Jiang Chen cleared his throat and reached out to grab the microphone.
“Hello, everyone, I am Jiang Chen. I am honored to stand here and say hello to all of you.”
“As a responsible company, we will actively respond to the policies of the Xin government.”
“Here, I declare that starting today, Xin will shut down the first and last, nuclear power plant on Coro Island!”
The environmentalist broke out with cheers, and Jiang Chen nodded to the people with the green headscarves.
“Most of the facilities used in the nuclear power plant for nuclear reaction will be dismantled, leaving only one reactor for the production of deuterium. The original site of the nuclear power plant will be converted into a safe, harmless deuterium refinery by using separation from seawater.”
“Someone may ask, what is the deuterium used for? Is it used for nuclear weapons?”
