Chapter 44 The success of Project Candle Dragon shakes the world.
Meanwhile, on the frozen Yangtze River waterway.
The icebreaker fleet departed from Nantong Port and has already traveled over a thousand kilometers through ice waves cleared by the Rocket Force. It can now see the shadow of its destination, Wuhan.
A bird's-eye view from high above using a drone.
What was once an endless white wasteland has been transformed back into flowing river water after the fleet's passage, with not a single ice floe in sight.
However, the cost was that the initial hundred or so escort icebreakers either suffered severe structural damage from colliding with large ice floes or were forced to leave the fleet due to power failures, and by then they had already been rotated out.
Even with great sacrifices, whenever there were serious casualties on the route, a new batch of converted ships could always join them at a port or temporary assembly point that was still standing.
They will resolutely take the place of those who left the ship earlier and continue the journey to break the ice.
Therefore, despite the severe damage to the surrounding steel fortifications, the special transport ship carrying the nuclear reactor, which was protected in the very center, was completely unharmed, making it an epic feat in the history of human shipping!
Standing in the command center, Li Xiaming looked at the shadow of Jiangcheng ahead and sighed:
"Great, we've finally arrived in Jiangcheng!"
"From then on, we could freely move resources from all over the country and along the railway system, making the nuclear reactor transportation plan almost a success!"
Hearing Li Xiaming's cheers beside him, Wei Tingsong's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
"Yes, we've finally arrived."
"I, Wei Tingsong, have not let the organization down."
"This road, frozen for thousands of miles, was actually conquered by the combined efforts of all the shipbuilding workers at Southeast University!"
Woo-woo-woo!
As the special transport ship carrying the nuclear reactor slowly docked at the port of Jiangcheng, the deep and powerful sound of the ship's horn broke the silence of Jiangcheng.
The ship's whistle sounded again and again, its long, drawn-out blasts announcing the complete victory of this transport mission.
It also ignited the long-suppressed emotions of all the crew members.
"We did it! We did it!"
"Jiangcheng! We've arrived!"
"We accomplished the impossible! We are all heroes worthy of our own family genealogy!"
Cheers erupted like a flood from the decks of every ship.
The crew rushed out of the cabin, braving the biting wind, hugging each other and patting each other's shoulders.
Many people's faces were indistinguishable between snowmelt and tears.
The tension that had gripped everyone for thousands of kilometers, enduring countless life-or-death trials, suddenly eased at this moment.
Li Xiaming followed the excited crowd onto the port.
Ahead, a large group of comrades, led by the person in charge of Jiangcheng, were already lined up and waiting in the wind and snow.
Seeing them disembark, the Jiangcheng leader strode forward and firmly grasped the hand of Wei Tingsong, the fleet's commander-in-chief who was walking at the front.
Then the Jiangcheng leader turned to the battered fleet behind him, which stood proudly on the dock, and the excited crew members who were landing one after another.
The person in charge of Jiangcheng took off his hat and said with great respect:
"Comrade Wei Tingsong, and the countless crew members and workers who participated in this great transportation project!"
"I am here on behalf of all the people back home who are hoping for national aid..."
The Jiangcheng leader took a step back and bowed deeply and solemnly to the returning heroes before him and to the silent and magnificent torrent of steel behind them.
"Thank you all for everything you've done!"
……
……
Five days later.
With the temporary resumption of railway and waterway transportation nationwide, the nuclear reactors were successfully delivered to the designated provinces and cities, and the secrecy surrounding this transportation plan was lifted.
The news caused an immediate uproar in China.
"Dude, what news did I see when I woke up?"
The government quietly built dozens of nuclear reactors and deployed them across the country! This ensured that the entire nation wouldn't have to worry about electricity and heating for the three years following the Ice Age!
The secrecy they did was amazing! That was top-notch, incredible!
"As a driver who participated in the final land transport segment, I must say a few words. Our team signed a confidentiality agreement at the time and did not know exactly what was being transported."
However, the GPS is locked throughout the entire journey, and each vehicle is equipped with two drivers, an engineer, and security personnel. There are temporary heating stations and maintenance points every 50 kilometers along the route.
It wasn't until today, when the secrecy was lifted, that we realized we were actually transporting a nuclear reactor... To have driven this trip for the country, my life has truly been worthwhile!
"My father repaired railway tracks to transport nuclear reactors, I'm so proud!"
"As a materials science student, I looked at the technical data published on nuclear reactors... I had only seen these technologies in papers in the lab before, I didn't expect them to be applied on a large scale."
I suddenly remembered that a month before the end of the world, universities and state-owned enterprises were scrambling to recruit top students majoring in materials for extreme environments. Was it all for this day?
Our country has played this game of strategy with both grand scale and stability. As an ordinary citizen backed by Tokyo University during the apocalypse… this feeling of being carried along is so reassuring!
Soon, a large number of videos about the Tokyo University nuclear reactor circulated on the internet.
Following the uproar in China, the news that "Tokyo nuclear reactors have covered the whole country, and we are no longer afraid of the glacial apocalypse!" has once again ignited global trending topics on YouTube and TikTok.
This time, faced with an overwhelming gap in reality.
Even the most stubborn countries like Japan, South Korea, and India fell silent, refraining from spouting any more nonsense about AI.
A netizen from the United States commented: "Shocking, purely, speechless shock. The performance of Tokyo University in the apocalypse is simply a generation ahead of other countries on Earth!"
This level of execution and organizational ability is simply unparalleled in the history of human civilization!
A European netizen commented: "My God, they actually used trains and ships, braving blizzards and temperatures tens of degrees below zero, to bring the nuclear reactor home!"
A week ago, they said they were going to clear the snow off the road at the entrance to the town, but now the snow has piled up to more than ten meters high, and no one has come to clear it yet!
Our government is a bunch of incompetent fools! (Clown emoji)
"Please adopt me, Tokyo University! (Crying soybean)"
How can I get a University of Tokyo ID card? Please advise! (heart emoji)
"How can I get the money to Tokyo University now?"
Overseas Runren: "I regret why I immigrated overseas last year... I gave up the most precious citizenship of the University of Tokyo in this era with my own hands."
"Please, Tokyo University, help our country! I heard that the Earth is about to experience a second major cooling wave, and we really can't take it anymore! (crying soybean)"
"I've given up on my own government. I just hope the University of Tokyo can help us small neighboring countries. Please! (crying soybean)"
