Greater Cantonian Republic
Light of future
1945.10.11 ????
An underground bunker near Golmud, Cantonia
Gaan Gwok-dung, with his guard, were sitting inside an old meeting room, waiting patiently. They were here for at least half an hour, but the one who should appear long before now was still missing. Finally, after five more minutes, the metal gate opened, and several men and women entered the meeting room.
"Sorry for being late, president, but we encountered some minor problems. Don't worry, they are fixed now!" A young man who was shaking Gaan Gwok-dung's hand smiled and said, "I'm Winston Smith."
"Hello, Mr. Smith." Gaan Gwok-dung asked, "Did I heard about you earlier?"
"Obviously not," he smiled and introduced, "She is my assistant, Yuliya Lenina, from a similar facility in Siberia."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Gaan." Yuliya smiled and said.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Lenina." Gaan Gwok-dung shaked her hand and said, "Shall we start to see your result, Mr. Smith?"
"Of course, president, follow me." Winston said and went back to the gate he just came out.
"You stay here." Gaan Gwok-dung ordered his guards to stay, then he followed Winston into the corridor.
"If I remembered correctly, this program had started for more than 5 years, there should be SOME results, right?" Gaan Gwok-dung asked Winston, who was walking towards another corridor.
"Of course, president, we won't summon you unless we can show you SOMETHING." Winston laughed and said.
"Very well." Gaan Gwok-dung responsed.
After several turns, they arrived a laboratory, which was transformed from a bombing shelter.
"Please see, president." Winston picked up a bottle of salt-like solid.
"Salt?" Gaan Gwok-dung asked.
"Kind of, but not the one you can see elsewhere." Winston smiled and turned on something. The light of the room gone out.
"What happened?" Gaan Gwok-dung asked, sounds a bit shocked. However, after several seconds, a strange green glow started shining from the bottle like a strange moon in Winston's hand.
"Voila, the light of future." Winston said, with a strange sound.
"What did you do?" Gaan Gwok-dung asked eagerly.
"We call this light Radiation. Although it seems harmless, this could lead to a disaster which no man had ever seen before." Winston turned on the light and explained, "Inside these tiny salts there were unimaginable amounts of energy. No one would dare to trodden this favourless salt after once felt the power within......"
"We are trying to release those energy with our favour, and make use of them." Yuliya continued, "Please see our result, president."
Winston and Yuliya opened a iron gate at the end of the laboratory. Inside a large space there was a giant metal pot-like device.
"What's that?" Gaan Gwok-dung asked.
"Yamim Noraim, my...... our device to make use of those energy." Winston corrected, "This is merely a phototype, but we can upgrade this when we have more knowledge about this. "After that, we would be able to build a weapon to end all weapon......"
"Good job, Mr. Smith and Miss Lenina, also all other scientists in this laboratory. More fundings would be given to you to speed up the research." Gaan Gwok-dung smiled and said, "Also, may I speak with Miss Lenina personally?"
"Certainly, president." Winston laughed and said. After that, Gaan Gwok-dung pulled Yuliya to a corner.
"Did he always freak like that?" Gaan Gwok-dung whispered.
"Yes, he's a hawkish Christian, at least he claims that." Yuliya said.
"Thanks, I will take care of that." Gaan Gwok-dung smiled and said, "Also, do you have time after the work is done?"
Where do you think that Soviet Juggernaut turns after it conquers west? I demand that you will join the Allies in this conflict for FREEDOM!
