    After staying in Ku Lumpur for three days, Jiang Chen returned to Coro Ind on his Gulfstream G650 and began preparing for his next trip.


    Shortly after he returned, Celestial Trade sent a construction ship to the sea between Ange Ind and New Mysia Special District to begin construction work under the sea. It was much more troublesome toy such a submarine transmission line than to build an overhead transmission line onnd. However, for Celestial Trade that often engages in submarine engineering, it was not a big deal.


    The person in charge of the project assured Jiang Chen that the transmission line would bepleted by the end of March at thetest.


    On the other side of the Moon Colony, the colonial director Tang Weijie also assured Jiang Chen through video calls toplete theying of long-distance power transmission equipment by the end of February. From Celestial City, the device used to receive theser was also under construction.


    Kelvin guaranteed Jiang Chen that by the middle of March at thetest, the whole country would be able to use the electricity generated by the lunar nuclear fusion power station. Coro Nuclear Power nt could finally be dmissioned form the historical stage after years of criticism .


    …


    Jiang Chen spent almost the entirety of February on his ne.


    Following Mysia’s agreement to connect its domestic grid with the Xin, negotiations between Celestial Trade and Australia, India, Nippon, and South Korea were also in progress.


    As Jiang Chen expected, the electricity price of 1.2 cents USD per kilowatt-hour was impossible to refuse. Some people spected that Celestial Trade used sr energy, while others also spected that there were arge number of isotope of uranium and thorium on the Bennu asteroid, but no one thought of nuclear fusion.


    Because it was too difficult to achieve nuclear fusion, no material could withstand the tens of millions of degrees of reaction temperature required. The fabled cold fusion has even more demanding conditions to the point that was sounded more fictional.


    In fact, even in the 22nd century, there was no material that could withstand tens of millions of degrees of high temperature.


    If such a material did exist, flying into the Sun would not be a problem. After all, the internal temperature of the sun was only around 20 million degrees Celsius.


    But in the not-too-distant future, a magical technology that confined particles into a certain space, while maintaining its own high temperature, while not making contact with other materials, was invented. Instead of a material container in the traditional sense, it was held by an invisible hand.


    It was the maic confinement technology.


    But even applying maic confinement technology, nuclear fusion power generation was still an almost impossible problem for most people. The device for constraining charged particles by maic confinement was born as early as the end of the 20th century. However, the use of maic confinement technology to constrain the uncharged helium-3 and deuterium involved particle science that couldn’t be exined by present day physics.


    All in all, the negotiations with Australia were quite sessful. The Australian-side promised to build the submarine transmission line, but insisted that the construction and maintenance of this line must be handed over to Australianpanies. Jiang Chen readily epted this proposal. If it was really handed to the offshore construction team of Celestial Trade, they wouldn’t be able to manage all the projects. They could only postpone the construction period after thepletion of the transmission line between Ange Ind and New Mysia Special District.


    Australia’s annual power generation was almost twice that of Mysia, close to 400 billion kWh. Moreover, due to institutional reasons, the Australian-side did not interfere in the negotiation with its own domesticpanies like Mysia did on the import amount.


    Australia’s electricity was basically monopolized by two majorpanies. AGLmitted to the development of new energy source offered a lucrative deal. Thepany signed a contract of 100 billion kWh and obtained priority in the Australian market after Jiang Chen proposed the offer.


    This southern hemisphere market would generate more than one billion Australian dors in revenue per year for Celestial Trade.


    As for India, the negotiations went even smoother.


    As an emerging economy with the world’s fifthrgest power generation, India’s annual electricity subsidy remained an astronomical figure. Just when negotiating with India, Jiang Chen learned the definition of honing. Both parties already agreed on the price, but they strangely couldn’t finalize the deal.


    In the end, Jiang Chen simply gave the follow-up work to Future Bank’s branch in India and then flew to Japan.


    There were still many things he must do, and there was no time to waste in one ce.


    …


    Europe, at the foot of the Alps, in a manor under the name of Rothschild, fruit farmers were working in front of rows of grape vines. The nting techniques they use were inherited from the traditional nting techniques mastered by the Medici family in the 14th century.


    The Rothschild family firmly believed that only the traditional nting techniques could produce the most authentic wine. The red wine that flowed out of this winery were winesparable to gold, and were sought after by the entire upper ss in Europe.


    Next to the vineyard, a man in a casual outfit was looking at the newspaper and sitting on a wooden chair made of rattan.


    Without a close examination, no one would know that the Jewish man was the uncrowned king of the underground forces in Europe.


    After the tragedy in Pilsner Syragogue, he integrated the power of Freemasonry and was indeed worthy of the title “uncrowned king.” Among the level 33 members, his seniority was the highest. He was not only the one controlling the Freemasonry, but the one who owned the wealth of the Rothschild family.


    However, at this moment, the young king had a mncholic expression.


    A Mercedes-Benz was parked at the door of the winery, it was Johnson that stepped out. He was Rothschild’s private bodyguard and his most loyal subordinate. He has been following Carmen since he was picked up by Rothschild from the French Foreign Legion.


    He seemed to be one of the perpetrators behind the tragedy in Europe that shocked the world.


    Without turning his head, Carmen flipped to the next page and asked casually.


    “Did you take care of it?”


    “Like a cold war machine,” Johnson responded.


    “All of them have been taken care of?”


    Just two hours ago, all the voices of opposition within the EU were annihted.


    A curvature formed on Carmen’s lips and he folded the newspaper.


    The butler who stood by his side was slightly surprised. It was the first time he saw his young master smile.


    Putting the newspaper aside, Carmen stood up andughed.


    “Where is our enemy? Did they notice?”


    Johnson shook his head.


    “Excellent.”


    Looking towards the Alps not far away, the smile on Carmen’s face became even brighter, just like the snow that had just melted in the Alps.


    “I should get going soon.”
