Rebirth of science and technology academic master

The commendation conference came to an end, which could be regarded as a major event for the 'Golden Crow Project' headquarters.

Qin Yuanqing was wearing the 'Golden Crow Medal' and walking in the garden with the dean. If anyone outside knew about it, Qin Yuanqing would definitely be envied, jealous and hated.

The surge of grace has simply reached a historical record.

Qin Yuanqing also didn't expect that he would have an hour to walk with the dean. Although Qin Yuanqing could see the dean from time to time over the years, Qin Yuanqing still felt a little nervous.

"Academician Qin, what do you think of the 'Jinwu Project'? I read the report you submitted. The scientific research phase of the 'Jinwu Project' has come to an end. It will then enter the engineering application phase. You have selected the Shuixian Nuclear Power Station in southern Fujian as the target for reconstruction. , what difficulties did you encounter?" the dean asked with concern. It is obvious that controllable nuclear fusion plays a very important role in the dean's heart.

But it’s normal to think about it. Controlled nuclear fusion is so important. It is a revolutionary change in the energy field. It cannot be overemphasized. In the past, China suffered from energy security. The total amount of oil imported every year exceeded 500 million tons. Spending nearly 2 trillion yuan, equivalent to about 350 billion U.S. dollars, is China's largest annual expenditure.

Compared with oil, the money spent on imported iron ore pales in comparison! The two are simply not comparable.

When the lithium-air battery came out, it only gave China an initial guarantee. It is only now that the realization of controllable nuclear fusion means that China has got rid of energy constraints and truly holds the lifeblood of energy in its own hands.

Also because of controllable nuclear fusion, international oil prices have dropped to lows. Although low oil prices will not cause oil-producing countries to lose money, the huge profits are gone.

Under such circumstances, even international hot money can no longer speculate on oil bulk trading futures prices!

This is a bit like what was mentioned in "The Three-Body Problem", where high-level civilizations have a crushing dimensionality-reduction advantage over low-level civilizations.

In the same way, in the face of technological generation differences, controllable nuclear fusion is simply a dimensionality reduction attack on oil, and there is no possibility of being subverted at all.

Deprived of its unique attribute of being the "blood of industry," oil is no longer so unique and important. Naturally, oil prices can no longer remain as high as before.

Of course, the price of oil will not be such a weird thing as a negative price. After all, in addition to being an energy source, oil is also an important chemical material and the raw material for many chemical industry products such as solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics!

"Dean, I have said before that controllable nuclear fusion has been solved from a technical perspective, so the two start-up tests of the 'Golden Crow Project' in the past few years have been a complete success, which is a perfect test paper." Qin Yuan He said with a light smile: "The Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant renovation project is also undergoing preliminary work. I believe it can start on time next year. The Nuclear Power Group, the State Grid Group and the local government have already communicated what should be communicated. We will first use Fujian Province as a pilot to accumulate experience. , I believe that in about 3 to 5 years, the power generated by the unit can meet the needs of the entire Fujian Province, and some of it can be supplied to Guangdong Province!"

"When the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant renovation project is completed and the Nuclear Power Group, State Grid Group and other units have accumulated experience, they can increase investment and accelerate the transformation of other nuclear power plants!" Qin Yuanqing said: "The ten nuclear power plants built that year all fully considered the possibility of To control nuclear fusion, there is no need to re-acquire land. High-voltage towers, high-voltage lines, etc. only need to be reorganized and partially completed! I believe that in about ten years, fusion power stations can meet the electricity needs of most of China!"

The breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion technology does not mean that all energy sources in China can be directly transformed into controllable nuclear fusion in a short period of time.

Because it takes time for a new technology to go from breakthrough to practical application to popularization.

At this time, it is necessary to train a group of teams with construction experience, a group of engineers with sufficient skills, and a group of managers who can adapt to the new energy revolution.

Even people need time to adapt to the new energy revolution. After all, as the energy bottleneck is broken, people's lives will undergo earth-shaking changes.

In all aspects, it will take a certain amount of time to welcome a new era!

“Some comrades have put forward a suggestion, which is to establish a new nuclear power company after reorganization, operate it in an entrepreneurial manner, and temporarily name it Asia Power, which will be responsible for the construction of domestic fusion nuclear power plants and the construction of supporting facilities for cross-regional power transmission projects in neighboring countries and regions. !" the dean said suddenly.

Asian Power?

Qin Yuanqing was a little surprised. This goal is really ambitious enough. You must know that the construction of fusion nuclear power plants in China will take at least 15 to 20 years to meet the energy needs of the entire China.

But the superiors are already deploying overseas, and they are directly based in Asia!

Qin Yuanqing seemed to see an old man drawing a circle on the world map, and then he came up with the great idea of ​​cross-regional power transmission.

Obviously, as China's controllable nuclear fusion has made a historic breakthrough, opening the door to controllable nuclear fusion, the new energy era has arrived, and superiors have begun to make plans, and they appear to be much more calm.

This is a politician who has a lofty vision and does not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, but focuses on strategy and the future.

Maybe this has something to do with Chinese culture, but I have to say that this great strategic concept is definitely a big deal. With cross-regional power transmission projects, it can generate huge benefits. This benefit is definitely not just monetary benefits, but more important. What is huge is the invisible and intangible benefits.

Although he saw it clearly and understood it, Qin Yuanqing was not interested.

"Theoretically, there is no problem with cross-regional power transmission. The UHV technology our country has mastered is the most advanced in the world. UHV technology can reduce a lot of power losses. Moreover, fusion nuclear power plants can not only be used along the coast, but also Inland, naturally it can also be on the borders in the three directions of north, south and west!" Although Qin Yuanqing was not interested, he still said.

Ultra-high voltage technology refers to AC power transmission projects and related technologies with voltage levels of 1,000KV and above. UHV technology has the characteristics of long distance, large capacity, low loss and economy.

The UHV power grid is based on UHV technology and uses 1000kV transmission network as the backbone grid. It is composed of ultra-high voltage transmission network, high-voltage transmission network, UHV DC transmission, high-voltage DC transmission and distribution network. A modern large power grid with clear structure.

In this aspect, China is truly unparalleled in the world and belongs to the world's leading level. It has become a shining business card of China.

There is no place in plain areas, hilly areas, or plateau areas that China’s UHV cannot conquer.

"We are all old, and this world will eventually belong to you young people. The rejuvenation of China depends on you young people. Our generation has a mission!" The dean patted Qin Yuanqing's shoulder and said: " Although China is the world leader in controllable nuclear fusion technology, but now information is transmitted so fast and various methods are difficult to prevent it, maybe other countries will develop controllable nuclear fusion sometime!"

Qin Yuanqing did not take this seriously. If it was not beyond his expectations, then in the past twenty or thirty years, China would have been the only one in controllable nuclear fusion, because now the most promising one is the Spiral Stone 7-X. ', in fact, it does not solve the constraint of high-temperature plasma continuous time. If this problem is not solved, the weakness will always exist and the door will remain closed.

As for the United States, it has not yet been able to completely decide which technical route to take. The possibility of achieving controllable nuclear fusion is really not high.

However, as the dean said, in modern society, there is no real 100% secret. Technical superiority does not rely on being hidden, but on technological innovation. The confidentiality of technology is always wishful thinking, and after all, it is impossible to keep secrets of.

"Academician Qin, do you think when will the commercial application of controllable nuclear fusion be realized overseas?" The dean asked a slightly heavy topic.

Obviously, he had no idea about this matter. After all, before the "Golden Crow Project" started, Europe was at the forefront of the world in the field of controllable nuclear fusion and acted as a leader. Even the United States was not as good as Europe in this regard. .

As for the United States, its foundation is too strong. In addition, the United States has always been a leader in fusion military research. No one is sure that the United States will not be able to realize the commercial application of controllable nuclear fusion. After all, the United States is one of the countries that has finally researched controllable nuclear fusion, and it has also invested a lot of money over a long period of time.

As a truly powerful figure in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, Qin Yuanqing is undoubtedly the most powerful person and can undoubtedly provide him with the most credible advice.

"In as short as 30 years and as long as 50 years, there should be countries overseas that can achieve controllable nuclear fusion. Of course, if the "Double Ring Space Station" can achieve the desired results, then overseas countries may never be able to commercialize controllable nuclear fusion! Qin Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said.

If overseas can concentrate a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to carry out controllable nuclear fusion at all costs, then Qin Yuanqing believes that maybe in ten or twenty years they will be able to master the commercial application of controllable nuclear fusion.

But the current situation is that all major countries and regions are increasing investment in the aerospace field. The development of the aerospace field is booming, and aerospace is extremely expensive. Even the United States will feel pain when burning money.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to realize the commercial application of controllable nuclear fusion as soon as possible.

That’s why I say, don’t be afraid of god-like opponents, but be afraid of pig-like teammates!

If your teammates trap you, it will definitely be a sinkhole that cannot be filled no matter how hard you try!

For such a huge project, it is very unrealistic to engage in joint development. After all, people are not united. Otherwise, ITER would not be in the situation it is today.

There are only two updates today! I'll see if I can write a chapter tonight to make up for it. If not, I'll have to wait until the 15th to make up for it.
