These two major events that Japan encountered in three weeks have become popular global news in a very short time, and Alice can naturally obtain new news from Washington through channels. Unlike Bush, the new president, Clinton, is not a person who is very enthusiastic about diplomatic events. Although he sent two aircraft carriers to the Japanese Sea for appearance, he has absolutely no intention of fighting. As the speech during the campaign said, his focus of governing is to save the domestic economy that is at a low point at this moment.

So everyone knows that a new era is coming, and compared with any diplomatic behavior, the people are naturally happy to see the situation of their own economic take-off. Alice is no exception. Compared to small matters such as allowing umbrella mercenaries to participate in the Gulf War, letting the consortium's economy take off with the trend is what she really cares about.

After Clinton came to power, he began to implement the economic policy of "macro regulation and micro-autonomy". It was still in 1993 this year, and Alice knew that this policy would eventually produce a developed technology industry around 1996 and achieve a white-hot growth in 1998.

At the same time, he would abolish and limit the original federal welfare system and free large amounts of government funds from unlimited funding to the poor. In 1997, he began to sign the Kyoto Protocol to start a large-scale environmental protection cause and solve problems such as greenhouse gas emissions. Alice could predict such behaviors, so just as she was preparing for the Gulf War, she could also be busy with these matters.

Since her real political achievements began with the second term, the past few years were really the time when Alice made great efforts to develop. She came up with a new plan. Starting from the Kyoto Protocol, the world began to pay attention to environmental protection issues. If she could develop certain black technologies in this field, would she still have to worry about her future international status?

Therefore, a research center with the theme of environment and energy was put on the construction agenda. Alice chose the address without hesitation. It was the surface area of ​​the underground hive base outside the outskirts of Laken, Utah. Of course, she didn't have to cover the new institute on the top of the hive. It was such a large salt lake desert area, where was there no suitable place?

So in this way, there will be a further driving force for the "Laken City Control Plan" that has been carried out. It is not enough to increase the urban population by opening factories alone; if the city is built into a place dominated by technology-based industries, it will take many years to complete the formation of an Internet company. But if such a research center is added, the significance will be completely different.

What's more, this business happens to be matched with the company name of the "umbrella". Whether it is "Umbrella" or "umbrella", whether it is Chinese translation or English original pronunciation, it has this meaning. Just like this company's main industry, medicine is now embracing and energy for the general public.

At this time, the Japanese government, which was in a state of turmoil, had no time to take care of any possibility near Chiba Prefecture. All their energy was thrown on the Korean Peninsula and it would not end after years. Alice, who was not worried about being exposed, could naturally focus most of her energy on her career development.

Building a research center is not a difficult task. Before you make sure you want to buy equipment such as super particle accelerators, any research institute is at best a simple building. The real value and difficulty lies in the wealth stored in it. So, compared to thinking about how to build a house, what Alice really should consider is naturally what the research institute is studying.

What can I study in the environmental protection and energy industries?

There are too many sources of greenhouse gas emissions, including fossil fuel combustion, automobile exhaust emissions, and daily agricultural production. There are even surveys that the farts of more than one billion cows around the world account for nearly 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions!

Alice is absolutely stupid, so she will deal with these problems in different categories. Why did she ask her to develop a special medicine so that the cow will not fart?

Controllable nuclear fusion is definitely one of the best ways to reduce emissions. As long as it can replace almost all thermal power plants in the world, the degree of decline in heat emissions can naturally be imagined. But this is definitely a technology that will lead to World War III. In comparison, more mature nuclear fission reflections are much more reliable.

This is a good idea, Alice snapped her fingers. Of course, she was not interested in staring at every heavy factory, checking their energy conservation and emission reduction every day, and then developing energy-saving gas stoves according to local conditions. But if a more mature nuclear fission technology can be developed so that nuclear power plants can easily be popularized in more countries and around power consumption areas, and a large-scale reduction in the number of thermal power plants will be greatly promoted!

Humans can now generate electricity by relying on nuclear fission technology and work tirelessly for nuclear fusion technology. However, this does not mean that nuclear fission technology has been developed to its limits. It is just that humans have found a better theory. From a technical perspective, nuclear fission, of course, any atomic nucleus has the potential for fission. It is just that based on the limitations of current technology, humans can only make fission chain reactions on atoms such as uranium-235, and also need to deal with the burial of nuclear waste.

But what if nuclear waste can also be used for fission?

So Alice's goal is very obvious. Developing a universal chain fission technology can not only fissure atoms such as uranium-235, but also fission of most, any form of heavy nuclear nuclei!

Of course, even if this technology develops to its limit, it is different from fusion. The peak state of fusion technology is that there is no waste after the reaction is over, and fission will occur no matter what. Therefore, the ultimate R&D goal for this field is to fissure harmful radioactive elements until they are harmless.

For example, how about breaking uranium-235 into carbon elements through layer by layer of transformation!?

Wow hahaha!

So Alice immediately applied to Washington. The beneficial nuclear fission technology is a project that the government cannot dislike, and in this field, Alice has no reason to do it alone. It is not just a black technology, but a technology that is clearly for the world to enjoy. Of course, it cannot be entirely up to her to sip hundreds of tons of salad oil and then practice it throughout the process of super power.

Therefore, equipment such as superparticle accelerators are of course impossible to be purchased, assembled and placed in the laboratory without passing through the government's eyes. If you can get a large amount of research funds from the White House, why not? Although Alice is very confident in her head, the difficulty of such a project research is obvious.

So Alice easily wrote an 800-page project application and threw it into the Washington White House mailbox.

Then apply for approval.

When talking about environmental protection with Clinton, it is definitely a turtle-bean look at Mung Beans. Although he only put forward this topic in his second term, the people are the same person, and the supporters of the consortium behind them are also in that group, and the thoughts in his mind will not change. Therefore, while the White House came over, it also invited Alice to meet and stepped directly into the Oval Office.

Lewinsky is very sensible.

There is no doubt that as a politician, Clinton did not make any sense to ask Alice to get close to the house. Of course, he was sent by other large consortiums, but since another great man came to the door, the fool would be turned away.

Therefore, the focus of the work has returned to the surrounding area of ​​Laken City. After several months of construction, the huge honeycomb base has taken a little prototype, with layers of frames spreading along the cave walls, and the latest construction depth has reached almost half a mile.

The reason why the speed is very fast is because their only job is construction.

Alice's drawings are so perfect that the engineers on the scene can't find any omissions, and there is almost nothing worth discussing on the spot and thinking about it for a long time. After all, it was scanned with mental power. The analysis of the underground structure of the Salt Lake Desert on the drawings is clear and accurate. If you don't need to use your brain at all, it would be strange if you can't be fast.

In this way, when the construction progress of the honeycomb reached about 25%, another major project was launched on the nearby land.

The name of the research center is "Umbrella Nuclear Energy Research and Development Center". This time it is a pure ground building. Of course, this definition is also relative to the hive. There are always basements. As for the hive, Alice is not afraid that some government personnel will know about it. Besides, she didn't hide it from it, and it was impossible to hide it. It was just a super laboratory for developing viruses. The rich man wanted to burn money herself, but the government was happy that the economy was promoted, so how could there be a reason to stop it.

In fact, Clinton was very happy to learn that the reason why Alice spent a lot of effort to build an underground building was to avoid accidents to the greatest extent. The girl spent all her money. Is there such a conscientious entrepreneur in the United States who are worried about the failure of economic revitalization?

To be honest, at least, this is also the employment problem of more than a thousand blue-collar workers over the years, isn’t it?

Therefore, all work priorities began to shift to the Lacre Mountains and Laken City area of ​​Utah.

In less than a year, the original 3,000 residents of Laken City discovered that their lives have really begun to usher in earth-shaking changes.

This is not a disgusting change, such as breaking the inherent lifestyle of residents, a common phenomenon in film and literature. Both construction sites are carried out in the suburbs, on a vast salt lake desert, and are built with simple science and technology laboratories, which has nothing to do with the lives of the people.

Changes come from the population. Many residents with spare money and experience have started bar business. Although the umbrella company provides food for workers, it is impossible to meet the needs of bars after get off work. This is exactly the inherent habit of Americans. So for a while, every night, outsiders can be seen singing and laughing in new bars everywhere in Laken City. A full-time bar street naturally emerged.

It is worth mentioning that after Alice Wang's suggestion, local residents unanimously decided on the name of the bar street, which was called "Sanlitun".

That is, "Three Mile Town".

It’s also a kind of expectation for the future. After all, thousands of workers have to occupy a lot of bars, and this street is really not short. Alice didn’t expect that such a thing could bring about a major economic adjustment to the town. Fortunately, it is the 1990s. If she returns to the great development of the western region and even the magical medieval era, she will really turn Laken into a "bar capital"!

To be honest, it’s not surprising that the small town’s original population is really the whole family to open a bar, with thousands of customers!

Today, when Alice rented a Bombardier small plane and flew from Los Angeles to the newly built airport in Laken City, Mingran discovered in the sky that the city had changed a lot after a short time.

The size of that bar street is really not small, but with the government coming forward, its scale is well controlled. People know that these workers are passers-by now. If you look at the construction of bar streets now, there will be a mess to clean up in the future. Alice has no intention of turning Laken into the second Las Vegas and asking her to pay the demolition fee, that would be a dream.

Today's visit was with the Minister of Energy, so after the helicopter landed, Alice did not choose to take a bus to go, but boarded the helicopter with the executive and headed towards the suburbs of the construction site.

"In fact, we can also achieve interoperability to a certain extent." Alice said: "I know that you are building military research centers and missile test sites dozens of kilometers away from this desert. After the various research facilities here are completed, they will not have to be used for their own projects for a moment. If you have any needs, you can come and ask for help."

"That's a big deal, Miss Alice." The Minister of Energy smiled politely: "You still need to discuss matters with the President and others about the Ministry of Defense, but I think they will probably agree."

The Secretary of Defense used Tai Chi and left the topic. Alice finished speaking casually and looked out the porthole.

Looking down from a height of hundreds of meters, it is clearly visible that a huge cave on the ground. Although the cross-section is extremely wide, it is difficult to see its bottom even if it is too deep. The area of ​​the entire construction site is countless times wider than that of this cave. Many construction vehicles and equipment are placed around it. Thousands of workers were wearing blue uniforms, and even if they could only see a few of them, they were enough to generate a strong visual impact.

One mile away from this construction site, another construction site is also preparing to rise.

"This is probably the biggest project in my term..." The Minister of Energy couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't help but be excited: "God!"
Chapter completed!
