章 1011: Helios

"… Four flaming horses, galloping in the fiery sky, from East to West, morning to night, illuminating the world."

Lu Zhou and Minister Novak were sitting in the backseat of the car. He looked outside the window and sighed.

"What are you talking about?"

Novak, the leader of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, smiled and spoke to Lu Zhou like a tour guide.

"Homer's Odyssey! The description of Helios… The nuclear power plant we are heading to!"

He spoke emotionally.

"The son of Helios once accidentally ignited the ground in order to bring light, turning it to a desert, burning the skins of Ethiopians. Homer probably never would have imagined humans finding a way to release the energy of a sun."

Lu Zhou: "… How come I've never heard that version of the story before?"
