In the early years of the People's Republic of China, faced with nuclear blackmail from the Western nations led by the United States, countless pioneers stepped forward one after another. With their blood, sweat, and tears, they ignited that earth-shaking blast and brought China to the threshold of becoming a nuclear power.
Since the start of the new era, technological innovation has become the mainstream. The next generation has carried on the work of those who came before, continuing to devote themselves to nuclear physics in the hope of making that blazing light burn for longer.
And controlled nuclear fusion is the brightest sun in the hearts of Chinese researchers.
To make commercial controlled nuclear fusion a reality in China and usher in an era of inexhaustible energy, young researchers like Chen Huaichu have put down roots on Science Island. Upholding the same spirit of dedication as ever, they have worked quietly and studied tirelessly, searching for the dawn on the path to controlled nuclear fusion, determined to ignite the brightest sun in the world of physics.
At last, with policy support and their diligent efforts, that artificial sun has drawn ever closer. The moment the applause rang out, Chen Huaichu seemed to see once more the towering blaze of 1964...
"All living things follow the sun. My greatest ambition in life is to ignite this artificial sun, let the light of fusion shine across the world, and make China's future rise like the morning sun!"
