Lu Debiao simply could not believe his ears; he looked at Song Qi before him with a completely bewildered face.

"Major General Song?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"This perfectly fine nuclear power plant, we're… tearing it down?"

"This… isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Mm!"

Ignoring Lu Debiao's questioning, Song Qi nodded heavily.

"It truly must be torn down!"

As Song Qi's firm voice reached him, Lu Debiao's heart fell into complete panic.

He, Lu Debiao, had worked at the Xijing Nuclear Power Plant for nearly twenty years!

He had served as its chief for a full ten years.

In Lu Debiao's eyes, this Xijing Nuclear Power Plant was no different from his own child.

So many years of sentiment were laid out right here.

Just because the wall paint hadn't been touched up, because this bit of superficial work hadn't been done well?

It had to be demolished?

How could this be allowed?

At this moment, Lu Debiao clenched his fists, no longer caring about anything else.

He immediately questioned Song Qi loudly.

"On what grounds!"

"The Xijing Nuclear Power Plant has made such a huge contribution to the development of our Dragon Nation! For so many years, it has been silently dedicating itself!"

"A nuclear power plant with an annual power supply of over ten billion kilowatt-hours! Just because the superficial work wasn't done well, you say tear it down and it's torn down?"

"Major General Song! I acknowledge that you have made huge contributions to the Dragon Nation! But regarding the matter of tearing down the Xijing Nuclear Power Plant, I, Lu Debiao, do not agree!"

"The Dragon Nation is not your personal fiefdom, Song Qi. If you want to tear down the nuclear power plant, I will petition the Military Commission, I will petition the State Council!"

"It's just some wall paint! If this ruins the energy landscape of our Dragon Nation's northwest region and plunges the entire northwest into a state of energy shortage, I, Lu Debiao, will be the first to refuse!"

Lu Debiao had completely let go of all reservations.

He pointed at Song Qi's nose and let out a torrent of angry abuse.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became eerily awkward.

Song Qi: ━┳━━┳━

Watching Lu Debiao, who was nearly going berserk before him, a trace of deep confusion flashed in Song Qi's eyes.

No?

What kind of hogwash is this Lu Debiao spouting…

Seeing that Song Qi did not answer, Lu Debiao quickly calmed down.

Looking into Song Qi's brown eyes, Lu Debiao clearly felt a chill emanating from the back of his heart.

Oh no!

I've caused a huge disaster…

The next second, Lu Debiao's expression became restrained, and a stuttering voice came through.

"Ma… Major General Song, I'm sorry… my emotions just now…"

"What wall paint? What superficial project?"

"Colonel Lu, what on earth are you talking about!"

Song Qi scratched his head in confusion, then immediately reached out and pointed to the mottled wall paint on the side.

"You don't actually think I'm tearing down your nuclear power plant to vent my anger because of this wall paint, do you…"

"No?"

"In your eyes, am I, Song Qi, such an idiot?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Debiao pondered carefully and instantly reacted.

He must have been reckless just now.

"Major General Song…"

"I was thoughtless just now, but our nuclear power plant is still operating normally, it's perfectly fine, why would we tear it down?"

"I intend to build a Nether Energy supply station here…"

Song Qi didn't hide anything and stated his intentions straightforwardly.

"The original facilities are simply too crude; there is absolutely no need to reuse them! If we were to build from scratch, we would have to select a site, recruit personnel again, and negotiate with various parties—going back and forth, a year or two of effort would be wasted."

"It's clearly not worth the loss, which is why I thought of requisitioning an existing nuclear power plant…"

Listening to Song Qi's explanation, Lu Debiao nodded as if he understood.

What Song Qi said actually made some sense!

"However…"

"What is Nether Energy!"

"I've only heard of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion; I don't think I've ever heard of this Nether Energy…"

Lu Debiao scratched his head, looked at Song Qi, and a simple, honest smile appeared on his face. ===== CHAPTER 1091 =====
