Chapter 573 Fusion Power Generation
Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant

As early as half a month ago, the surrounding area entered a first-level security state, the traffic was controlled, and the passing vehicles were strictly inspected. In the sky, drones patrolled 24 hours a day, and a regional air patrol network was established. The situation on the ground is monitored, and if there is any abnormality, it will be discovered immediately.On the roads, public security monitoring and traffic monitoring have been turned on, and traffic police are on duty 24 hours a day on major traffic arteries.

A helicopter landed smoothly on a flat ground at the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant.

Although I am very resistant to this means of transportation, I have to admit that this is the fastest option.

Otherwise, it will take two and a half hours to drive from Narcissus Airport to Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant.The helicopter arrived at the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant from Narcissus Airport in less than an hour, saving nearly two hours.

After getting off the helicopter, Qin Yuanqing didn't stop at all, carrying the computer bag in his hand, and under the escort of the bodyguards, he strode to the project department.

At the entrance of the project department, the construction unit, construction unit, supervision unit, design unit and expert team all greeted Qin Yuanqing in person at the gate.

"These formalities will be avoided, let's go straight to work!" Qin Yuanqing waved his hand and said directly.

This time he came to Narcissus City, the itinerary was five days, the first two days were meetings, the last inspection of the first fusion nuclear reactor and the magnetic fluid generator set before operation and power generation, the third day was for operation and power generation, and the fourth day The first day and the fifth day are to observe the operation situation, monitor the power generation, and carry out the acceptance work of the first power generation.

For the first power generation this time, countless engineers have put in countless efforts in the past year, and even some processes cannot be interrupted. The engineers did not take a break to directly construct 24 hours or even 48 hours of high-intensity construction.

Fortunately, the project finally ushered in the milestone of the first phase!

Everyone held a meeting directly in the project team, the meeting was directly hosted by the nuclear power group, and each unit participating in the meeting began to report in an orderly manner.

"During the construction process, all processes were carried out according to the construction drawings, and no changes were made."

"Our unit has supervised the whole construction process from time to time, urging the construction unit to construct according to the construction drawings. So far, no abnormalities have been found. Two days ago, the inspection was completed, and all inspections met the requirements of the construction drawings, and no problems were found."

"The design is in the project department for 24 hours, and the design team provides technical support every moment. The foundation treatment, earthwork, concrete engineering, metal engineering, etc. are all constructed according to the design requirements."

"After receiving the order half a month ago, the garrison launched a state-level combat readiness alert at the regional level. The radar was activated at full power, drones and satellites monitored at any time, and no suspicious targets were found. The defense of the theater has been activated. Once a suspicious air target is found It will be destroyed immediately! The East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet have launched military exercises in the designated areas as planned." The guard group said very solemnly.

"The local organizations have all been mobilized, the traffic police are on duty 24 hours a day at the main roads, and the police and border guards have already entered the state!" The leader of the Yunxiao County Government said in a deep voice. He is the one with the lowest rank here, but he dare not be careless in the slightest. , Because of the importance of the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant, the superiors have repeatedly explained it, and they are very clear.

Any work in the entire county or city can be put aside, but the smooth progress of the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant must be guaranteed.

Qin Yuanqing led the expert group to review the project documents, and asked questions about the places where there were doubts, and the relevant construction units answered the questions.

The next day, Qin Yuanqing led the expert team to inspect the nuclear fusion reactor, unit, and transmission line network. Qin Yuanqing went to the control room on purpose and saw the staff working in an orderly manner.

Researchers from the original 'Golden Crow Project' research and development base are training the staff in the control room. After nearly a year of training, they have completed the ignition operation drill. Regarding the contents of the safety manual and operation guide, they All by heart.

Qin Yuanqing checked some data in the control room, and then performed mental calculations, but found no abnormality in the data.

At ten o'clock that night, Qin Yuanqing signed his name on the document approving the first unit to generate electricity, officially agreeing to the first fusion nuclear reactor and unit of the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant to run for the first time to generate electricity.

On the third day, Qin Yuanqing and others did not go to the control room, but in the command hall. The video on the hall is connected to each module, and the video here is connected to the capital through the network, where the leaders of relevant departments are paying attention to this time. generate electricity.

"Superconducting magnet inspection completed! Living in liquid helium"

"Liquid helium is settled, confirm that the temperature has reached the critical value, and start to power on!"

"The current has reached a critical value."

"The magnetic field configuration is adjusted."

"Inject fuel!"

"Turn on the ICRF heating antenna!"

"It was monitored that the temperature in the reaction chamber continued to rise, and the temperature reached [-] million degrees!"

"."

As the temperature of the fusion reactor exceeded [-] million degrees, the light that was more dazzling than a star was lit up in an instant.

Endless energy gushes out like a tide, and is liberated from that tiny atomic nucleus.

"The magnetic fluid generator set starts and starts generating electricity!"

"Unit 1 is operating at full power!"

"Unit 2 is operating at full power!"

"Unit 3 is operating at full power!"

"Unit 4 is operating at full power!"

"The power grid is monitored, and the power generation and transmission of the unit are normal!"

"Report the situation of the circulating water cooling system!" Qin Yuanqing said into the walkie-talkie.

A standard 'Golden Crow Device', the maximum power can make 15 magnetic fluid generators generate full power. Even if it is the first time to start power, it is not the maximum power, but it can also make 10 magnetic fluid generators generate full power.

Now there are only 4 generating units at full power, which means that these 4 generating units cannot fully utilize the heat generated by fusion. Even with the current fuel injection, most of the heat will be discharged into the sea.

"The circulating water cooling system is discharging hot water! There is no abnormality." The monitoring status of the circulating water cooling system was immediately reported.

After the entire fusion nuclear reactor had been in operation for two hours, Qin Yuanqing issued an order to shut it down, and the heat accumulated in the reactor was continuously directed into the sea by the circulating water cooling system. With the termination of the fusion reaction, the temperature of the gas molecules in the core rapidly increased. From 1000 million to [-] million.

After an hour, it will start up again, and then run for two hours to generate electricity.

By tomorrow, it will become every four hours of power generation and one hour of pause.On the last day, it will continue to generate electricity 24 hours a day, collect data in such a process, and monitor the status of each module.

Although the relevant experiments were carried out at the scientific research base, the 'Golden Crow Device' is not the same as this 'Golden Crow Device', and the weather, climate and environment are different, and the operators are also different, no one knows Will things be different.

However, nuclear fusion reactors are different from nuclear fission reactors. The safety factor of nuclear fusion reactors is much higher. They are not afraid of nuclear leakage, because once abnormalities are monitored, they can be eliminated immediately. The worst case is nothing more than shutting down the reactor. Stop the nuclear fusion reaction.

Qin Yuanqing has been at the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant, always paying attention to the situation of all parties, but obviously, this time the operation of power generation is very smooth, and there is no abnormality, so that when it comes to the acceptance meeting, when all parties report the operation situation, there will always be enthusiastic The applause was used to vent the excitement in my heart.

When Qin Yuanqing spoke on behalf of the expert group and agreed to pass the acceptance of the first fusion nuclear reactor and magnetic fluid generator set for power generation, the entire conference room burst into warm applause that lasted for 3 minutes.

Undoubtedly, this is the greatest affirmation of the hard work of all parties in the past year, and it also means that the first milestone has been officially reached, and the milestone has not become a milestone!

The representative of the Yunxiao County Government was also very excited. The power generation of this whole day has exceeded the power generation of the four AP4 generator sets of the original nuclear fission reactor.

According to the preferential policy, the price of electricity in Yunxiao County will be reduced to [-] cents per kilowatt-hour, and no matter whether it is residential electricity, industrial and commercial electricity, or agricultural electricity, the price will be unified at [-] cents per kilowatt-hour.

This means that the resident enterprises in Yunxiao County will get huge benefits.

However, it is unable to attract more enterprises to settle in Yunxiao, because as the location of the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant, the development of Yunxiao will be concentrated in the county and beyond in the future, and the development of the 20 miles around the nuclear power plant will be regulated.

According to the previous agreement, Yunxiao will be the first to benefit from the first generating set.One year later, Narcissus City benefited, and the electricity price was adjusted to [-] cents per kWh.Two years later, the power generated by the nuclear power plant will be supplied to the whole province, and the electricity price will be cut in half. Three years later, the electricity price of the entire Fujian province will be unified.

In the fourth and fifth years, the excess electricity generated will be supplied to Guangdong Province.

It can be said that even if the price of electricity drops to [-] cents per kilowatt-hour in the future, Guodian will earn hundreds of billions of yuan a year relying on such a nuclear power plant alone.Although the original electricity price is relatively high and the income is higher, it cannot withstand the loss of electricity and production costs, and the profit will be much lower than that of fusion nuclear power plants.

More importantly, the power supply of fusion nuclear power plants will ensure that there will be no shortage of electricity, and the reduction of electricity prices will greatly promote the development of industry and commerce.

Although these years, Huaxia has continued to build hydropower plants and nuclear power plants, and has continued to encourage the improvement of solar power generation and tidal power generation. However, with the rapid development of the entire society, the actual power is becoming less and less sufficient, and some rural areas will cut off power from time to time to supply cities.

Power cuts appear on the media side from time to time.

And once Fujian Province takes the lead in completing the construction of fusion nuclear power plants, the energy curse of the entire society will be lifted, and the manufacturing costs of enterprises will be greatly reduced.

Regardless of the reduction of industrial electricity consumption from 0.5 to 0.7 yuan to 0.1 yuan, the reduction is not large, but it cannot withstand large volumes, and this is a unified price without various superpositions.The province saves hundreds of billions of yuan in electricity bills a year.

It can be said that the changes in the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant can be felt most intuitively in the whole of Fujian Province. Except for the sky near the water and the first access to the moon, it can be said that the entire Golden Triangle of southern Fujian will feel it from next year.

After the GDP of Narcissus, Ludao, and Licheng exceeded one trillion yuan, the Golden Triangle of Southern Fujian has been continuously mentioned in research articles by economists and others, and has become the most important sector of Fujian Province's economy. Transformation of middle and high-end industries.

New energy batteries, new energy vehicles, ports, shipbuilding, graphene industry, artificial intelligence and other supporting industries make the economic growth of the Golden Triangle in southern Fujian more than 10%. The integration of the three cities is constantly approaching. Once the integration is completed, it will It will be another very meaningful urban agglomeration.

As for the power generation of fusion nuclear power plants, for those manufacturing owners in the Golden Triangle of southern Fujian, it can be said that it is a blessing from heaven.

Especially for large power consumers such as shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, and the semiconductor industry, production costs have dropped at a visible rate.

In the current global economic downturn, the fusion nuclear power plant has simply given a booster and a booster to the manufacturing industry in Fujian Province.

On the surface, the decline in energy costs only lowers the cost of electricity for factory owners and entrepreneurs, but in fact it changes the future of the entire city and even the people in this urban agglomeration.

Production costs have dropped, and when companies have money, they will have the confidence to update production technology and the capital to develop automation, electrification, and intelligence.The cost of electricity is cheaper, and the industrial institutions of the entire city and even the province will become more competitive.

It can be said that the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant will enable Fujian Province to take the lead in the national and global competitions, at least having a three-year advantage over other provinces. Regardless of just three years, three years can produce huge changes.

After Qin Yuanqing left the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant, the rest of the MHD generators equipped with the first standard 'Jinwu Plant' were put into power generation in turn. After all, each standard 'Jinwu Plant' is equipped with 15 MHD generators, 13 of which are normal Power generation, 2 sets are spare.

And 13 ferrofluid generators generate electricity, and the daily power generation is completely enough for the total daily electricity consumption of Narcissus City.

With the success of power generation, Qin Yuanqing approved the documents that could be released to the public. At 3:[-] p.m. that evening, an edited and processed news video was officially broadcast. It only lasted [-] minutes, and no special report was made.

But the 3:[-] news in [-] minutes is already sensational enough. No one thought that it took such a short time from Huaxia to master controllable nuclear fusion to commercial power generation. Normally, a technology is mastered. Then for commercial applications, the dynamic is calculated in ten years.

But now, as if in an instant, Huaxia took advantage of it.

"Sure enough, it's an infrastructure madman, the title of Dahuaxia's infrastructure madman. It's still worn on his head and hasn't been taken off. I'm so excited, so excited, aren't you?"

"Woooooo~~ I envy the people in Narcissus City, the cost of electricity consumption has plummeted, and there is no need to consider the high electricity price during the peak period of electricity consumption. From now on, electricity consumption will cost a dime per kilowatt-hour."

"Who said that even if the nuclear fusion power plant is built, the price of electricity will not decrease in a short period of time, because the construction cost of the nuclear fusion power plant is very high, and it will take a long time to recover the cost~~ This kind of nonsense, I I still believe it, you think I'm stupid!"

"Old irons, buy the stocks of companies in the Golden Triangle of Fujian Province, and wait to take off!"

"Old men, I am going to do business in the Golden Triangle of Fujian Province. There will be gold everywhere. When I get rich, I will take you off."

"Don't forget the wealth and wealth!"

"."

There is no doubt that when the global economy has just begun to emerge from the slump and entered the recovery period, the operation of the fusion reactor of the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant has given Huaxia Industry a booster and a tranquilizer.

In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, labor costs have also been rising rapidly. The rise in labor costs has made the profit margins of enterprises smaller and smaller. Many companies have even had to move to the central and western regions where labor costs are relatively low. The place.

This is because in the past few years, only China has been able to release production, otherwise, many companies are migrating to Southeast Asia.

This kind of consideration is not limited to international capital, domestic capital is also doing the same consideration.

After all, compared with China's labor cost, Southeast Asia's labor cost is only one-third, which has a huge advantage.

And capital is all about profit.

It can be seen from the transfer of the international industrial chain that the international industrial chain is always transferred from areas with high labor costs to areas with low labor costs.This principle is a bit like water flowing from a high place to a low place.

Now, with the practical application of controllable nuclear fusion, factories and enterprises can see the profit space. This space is exactly the space of energy. With this profit space, at least ten years of profit time can be guaranteed for factories and enterprises.

Another power of this news is that the energy sectors such as oil and natural gas have ushered in a red downward curve, which is obviously hit hard.

When Qin Yuanqing returned to the capital, he began to prepare a work report. Three days later, he will participate in a high-level meeting. On the first day of the meeting, he will report on the power generation of the Narcissus nuclear fusion construction, so that the superiors can understand the real situation more clearly.

Although the Internet is now developed, online video can be connected to the capital immediately, and video conferences can be held while sitting in the office in Beijing, but there is still a big difference between sitting in the office and reporting in person with No.1.

In this day's meeting, in addition to reporting the construction status and power generation status, it will also formally deploy the next fusion nuclear power plant construction. A timetable will be given for where the fusion nuclear power plant will be built first.

And there is no doubt that this will be a fierce battle. After all, whichever region launches the fusion nuclear power plant first will be the first to have an advantage. Even if it is only a one-year or two-year advantage, the interests it represents are extremely amazing.

Now, the first batch, that is, the pilot, only the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant and the Longsheng Nuclear Power Plant, both of which are pilot nuclear power plants promoted by Qin Yuanqing.The construction of the Long Province Nuclear Power Plant is based on the "Golden Crow Device" of the previous "Golden Crow Project" research and development base as the core. It will also officially generate electricity around the Spring Festival. Compensation for sacrifices and contributions made.
