Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Humanity's pursuit of efficiency is eternal.

Now is just the beginning, what will be better is tomorrow and the future!

This is just the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles. If everyone is proud of this, it would be too small.

Just after New Year's Day, a high-level meeting was held in Beijing. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology and other relevant ministries and commissions attended the meeting, as well as representatives from various provinces. When they gathered together, throwing a brick at random could hit a big boss.

Qin Yuanqing reported to the participants the construction status of the Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant's transformation from a nuclear fission power plant to a fusion nuclear power plant through videos and pictures, as well as the operation and power generation of the first standard 'Golden Crow Device' a few days ago.

In the end, the direct use of holographic projection technology made everyone feel as if they had entered the Narcissus Nuclear Power Station and watched the fusion reaction of the fusion reactor with their own eyes, producing a steady stream of energy.

"According to the data of the first power generation, once the nuclear power plant is fully completed, it will only require a fuel cost of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan a day to meet the electricity demand of the entire Fujian Province. At a fuel cost of about 500,000 yuan a day, part of the electricity can be supplied to Guangdong Province. , support the construction of the Greater Bay Area!" Qin Yuanqing listed the fuel costs.

The fuel cost is three to four hundred thousand yuan per day. Calculated based on the fuel cost of 400,000 yuan, the fuel cost per year is less than 150 million yuan. This means that the cost of power generation is extremely low. Even according to the charging standard of 10 cents per kilowatt hour, it does not take a year. The construction cost of the nuclear power plant can be fully recovered, and there will still be profits. What follows is a steady stream of profits, and the profits are very considerable.

The most important thing is that this is an inexhaustible source of energy. From now on, we no longer have to worry about insufficient power generation, and we no longer have to consider power cuts in certain places.

The most important thing is that carbon emissions can be significantly reduced, while the pressure to save and reduce emissions in other aspects is not so great.

The participating representatives listened to Qin Yuanqing's report and discussed in low voices one by one. They were obviously shocked by the low cost of the fusion nuclear power plant, and even more excited. Once they could win the fusion nuclear power plant to be settled in their own province, it would be a great success. This huge political achievement can also be explained to the people in the jurisdiction.

Among the representatives attending the meeting, those from Long and Fujian provinces were the most indifferent. After all, they were already the first batch of pilots and had already taken the lead. They were sitting firmly on Diaoyutai. Even their mission this time was not to fight for their own place. To build a fusion nuclear power plant, we will negotiate with the province for power supply and unit price.

Yes, although these representatives are all big guys, when it comes to money, it is unambiguous. This is a business worth hundreds of billions of yuan every year, and it is real money!

In the eyes of the representatives of Fujian Province, Guangdong Province is simply an experience baby with a golden light on its head. A casual cut is full of experience points.

The representatives from Fujian Province have already planned to have a good time with the representatives from Guangdong Province during lunch and talk about the ancient feelings of Fujian and Guangdong as one family and neighbors who are not separated from each other.

It makes me cry when talking about it. Fujian Province was an indisputable place for military strategists in ancient times. Its development was very slow. It began to develop gradually in the 1990s. It was not until 2008 that as the overall trend stabilized, Fujian Province began to develop rapidly. Before this, the first choice for people from Fujian Province was to go to Guangdong Province to work hard and provide Guangdong Province with high-quality and cheap labor force.

The result is that now, Fujian Province, which is one step behind Guangdong Province, has less than half of Guangdong Province's economic aggregate. It is annoying to think about it.

If you don't slaughter them properly and vent your anger, you will be sorry to the people of Fujian.

Representatives from Guangdong Province are not yet aware that they have been regarded as experienced babies by their neighbors, but they are thinking about how to get a nuclear fusion power station to be settled in Guangdong Province. As the largest economic province in China, Guangdong Province also has the Greater Bay Area. The construction has initially achieved results, and with two first-tier cities, Yangcheng and Pengcheng, the Pearl River Delta is famous and has a high reputation around the world.

Similarly, Guangdong Province's annual electricity consumption has exceeded 100 million hours. The electricity produced locally in Guangdong Province is only a small part, and most of the electricity comes from support from various provinces.

But even so, the electricity is still not enough, so that some remote mountainous areas have to limit power and turn off the power to ensure the power needs of the Pearl River Delta.

Once a nuclear fusion power station is built in Guangdong Province, there will be no need to worry about insufficient power every year, and there will be no need to spend extra money to buy electricity from neighbors. As for the funds to build a nuclear fusion power station, compared to the benefits it brings, it is simply Just a drizzle.

In the Yangtze River Delta, the eyes of all the representatives are shining, and the representatives from Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places are also enthusiastic. As the center of China's economy, it has taken the lead in completing the adjustment of industrial structure and is also the world's largest economy. Belt, the Yangtze River Delta is definitely a hurdle that economists and industrialists around the world cannot avoid in their research.

There is no doubt that the Yangtze River Delta needs a nuclear fusion power station. There is no doubt about this, but where the nuclear fusion power station is built is the key.

According to the rules of the game, wherever the fusion nuclear power plant is located, it will be under the jurisdiction of the three leaders of the Guodian Group, the Nuclear Power Group, and the local government. The interests will naturally be equally divided. That is why the Guodian Group is responsible for the construction of the transmission grid, and the Nuclear Power Group is responsible for the construction of the nuclear power plant. The local government needs to go all out to ensure the completion of the project.

For Guodian Group and Nuclear Power Group, there is no difference wherever they settle, but for local areas, the difference is very big.

Sure enough, when the host of the meeting announced the next topic, which was the location selection of the first batch of fusion nuclear power plants, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became lively.

Qin Yuanqing was also dumbfounded. These representatives were too exaggerated. As for that, they were like aunts buying and selling vegetables. They were so jealous that some representatives even pounded the table excitedly and asked to meet with their subordinates later. .

Disgraceful to gentlemen!

Disgraceful to gentlemen!

Qin Yuanqing sighed secretly.

Sure enough, all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.

Qin Yuanqing once again had a deeper understanding of this sentence, and had to sigh that the wisdom of his ancestors was really amazing, he could see through people's hearts, human nature, and the essence of this world!

After all the quarreling, no result was produced. The host of the meeting had to announce that the lunch break was over and the meeting would continue at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Qin Yuanqing served food in the cafeteria and was also thinking about this question, that is, who will build the first batch of three fusion nuclear power plants.

Logically speaking, it is naturally the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, and Beijing, Tianjin, and Tangshan. However, this cannot be said for sure. It is also entirely possible for the three northeastern provinces and the central and western central belts.

Even in other provinces, it is not impossible.

Qin Yuanqing noticed that the representatives from various provinces did not stop while eating and cursed while eating. Qin Yuanqing was a little worried that they would start a fight in the cafeteria.

However, it is obvious that everyone is a person of status and still has some scruples. A gentleman should talk but not take action!

Qin Yuanqing was eating with his head down when he suddenly noticed someone coming to his side. Then he saw that it was the old principal.

"Old leader, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing lately?" Qin Yuanqing said quickly.

The old principal gave him great support when he was in Shuimu. Whether it was project research or other aspects of work, he gave him great support and solved many problems for him.

After the construction of the Shahe campus, including the construction of the affiliated hospital and the reform of the school and enterprise, the old principal gave full support.

Although Qin Yuanqing is no longer the head of Shuimu, the passion is still there.

"Academician Qin, my bones are still strong and I can still serve the people for ten years!" the old principal laughed, and then lowered his voice and said: "Academician Qin, can you vote for the capital this afternoon? The capital also wants to build a fusion reactor Nuclear power plant, if there is a fusion nuclear power plant, the capital will develop faster."

Qin Yuanqing paused for a moment, showing a thoughtful look. After thinking for a while, Qin Yuanqing said: "Old leader, this may be a bit difficult. The capital is too special. It is probably impossible to build a fusion nuclear power plant!"

Although fusion nuclear power plants are far safer than fission nuclear power plants, they are still nuclear power plants after all. People are always full of worries about nuclear power plants. This kind of worry cannot be eliminated by publicizing how safe fusion nuclear power plants are.

Therefore, fusion nuclear power plants are also built in sparsely populated areas, in suburban areas of cities, to minimize social concerns.

At the same time, fusion nuclear power plants also have very high geological requirements. In the capital, if you break ground on a certain area, you may find ancient tombs or ancient city sites with cultural and historical value. The construction conditions are not good.

"What about Guizhou Province? The representative of Guizhou Province is a classmate of mine, and we have a good relationship. How about building a fusion nuclear power plant in Guizhou Province? It should be possible." Principal Chen changed his words and moved to Guizhou Province.

Qin Yuanqing was startled.

How to transfer to Guangxi Province! ?

Immediately, Qin Yuanqing came to his senses and said that it was a lie to build a fusion nuclear power plant in Beijing, but it was true that a fusion nuclear power plant was built in Guangxi Province.

Presumably, the old principal also knows the special characteristics of Beijing. The possibility of building a fusion nuclear power plant is very slim. The companies in Beijing are not high-power-consuming enterprises. As long as there is a fusion nuclear power plant in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan area, it is impossible for Beijing to lose electricity. Beijing There will be no shortage of electricity. It doesn't matter where the fusion nuclear power plant is built in the capital, it's all the same.

So after mentioning it like this, Qin Yuanqing declined this proposal politely. Then when the second Gui Province builds a fusion nuclear power plant, Qin Yuanqing would be embarrassed to refuse it again.

What an old fox!

In just ten years, the old principal has transformed from a scholar to a politician, making all kinds of calculations accurately.

"Gui Province should be able to do it, but the resistance from Guangdong Province will be huge!" Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly.

Gui Province and Guangdong Province were known as the land of Guangdong and Guangxi in ancient times. The title "Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi" often appears in TV dramas, which refers to Gui Province and Guangdong Province.

Although they are neighbors, the development of Guizhou Province is unsatisfactory and far inferior to that of Guangdong Province. Although when everyone mentions Guangxi Province, everyone thinks of "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world", but Guangxi Province's economy ranks around 20th among all provinces and cities.

31 provinces and cities, ranking 20 seems to be in the middle, but you must know that there is a city like Tianjin behind it.

In other words, Guangxi Province is a poor student in the national economy.

When Guangxi Province builds a fusion nuclear power plant, in addition to meeting its own needs, most of the electricity will be supplied to Guangdong Province. By selling electricity to Guangdong Province alone, it can earn a large amount of income every year. Moreover, Guangxi Province has vast land and sparsely populated areas to build such a fusion nuclear power plant.

If Guangdong Province has fusion nuclear power plants in Guangxi and Fujian provinces to provide power, it can basically lift the energy constraints. Theoretically, it's still feasible.

However, the Guangdong Province is expected to strongly oppose this. After all, this is a business worth hundreds of billions a year. Who wants to be cut off by their neighbors every year?

Although there are not many places in Guangdong Province where fusion nuclear power plants can be built, it does not mean that there are none.

In Guangdong Province, there are Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, Ling'ao Nuclear Power Plant, Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant, and Taishan Nuclear Power Plant. Originally, Guangdong Province also planned to build Lufeng Nuclear Power Plant, Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant, Haifeng Nuclear Power Plant, Shaoguan Nuclear Power Plant, Jieyang Nuclear Power Plant, and Zhaoqing Nuclear Power Plant, but because Because of the 'Golden Crow Project', such fission nuclear power plants have been locked up and will not be built again.

But this does not mean that Guangdong Province has no land to build a fusion nuclear power plant. It is feasible whether it is to transform an already built fission nuclear power plant into a fusion nuclear power plant or to choose a small island to build a fusion nuclear power plant specifically.

As for Guangdong Province, as the largest economic province in China, its influence is still very large and its voice is also very large.

"Academician Qin, don't forget that there is also East Asia Electric Power Group, or Asia Electric Power Group!" Principal Chen said meaningfully.

Qin Yuanqing looked thoughtful, and then quickly understood the meaning of the old leader's words.

This is a sign of opportunity!

In the cross-regional power grid, East Asia Power Group is only the first step, and the second step is Asia Power Group. Naturally, Southeast Asia is an emerging economic region and there is a general lack of electricity, so it is naturally a good target for power supply.

As for Gui Province, there is no doubt that it can be used as a node to enter Southeast Asia and can supply excess electricity to South Vietnam.

If we consider this point of view, Guangxi Province will have a better chance of being among the first to build fusion nuclear power plants!

With the establishment of fusion nuclear power plants, the electricity from hydropower stations will also be likely to be supplied to Southeast Asia as one of the energy sources of the Asian Power Group.

"This is a new angle." Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly and agreed.

Sure enough, I am just a scholar, not a politician. These old guys who have been in politics for many years have a really broad vision.

On the other side, representatives from Fujian Province were sitting with representatives from Guangdong Province, with smiles on their faces.

"Old Wang, we are neighbors!" the Fujian representative said with a smile: "After the spring, our Fujian Province will have excess electricity, and some of it can be used to industrialize Guangdong Province. Does your Guangdong Province need it?"

"Old Zhao, the more electricity we have in Guangdong Province, the better!" The representatives from Guangdong Province became energetic when they heard that there was electricity.

Guangdong Province is not short of money, but what Guangdong Province is short of is electricity!

In order to ensure power supply, their team racked their brains, tried every means, and begged grandpa and grandma everywhere, but the power they could get was just like that.

Sometimes they are so angry that they want all the electricity from the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant to be supplied to Guangdong Province.

"We can support Guangdong Province with 100 billion kilowatt hours in 2026, 200 billion kilowatt hours in 2027, and 300 billion kilowatt hours in 2028!" Representative Zhao said with a smile and kept raising his fingers. .

One finger represents 100 billion kilowatt hours!

Representative Wang is very excited. 100 billion kilowatt hours can solve a lot of problems. Many factories can keep operating 12 hours a day. With 200 billion kilowatt-hours, the members of their team can sleep more soundly every day. 300 billion kilowatt-hours means 30% of the previous electricity consumption in Guangdong Province. Haha, with so much electricity, what do we need to worry about? Various projects are vigorously implemented, and the thermal power plants in the region can also withdraw from the stage of history. It also saves their superiors from having to sound the alarm every three days.

If possible, who would be willing to use thermal power plants? Who doesn’t know that thermal power plants are highly polluting, and if the air is polluted, people’s lives and health will not be protected!

But there is no way!

No choice!

If you want to develop, you have to make sacrifices!

"Old Zhao, tell me how much it is!" Lao Wang's eyes were already shining. They are not short of money. As long as they have electricity, they will buy it no matter how expensive it is!

If the nuclear fission power plant hadn't been locked up, they would have tried every means to build another nuclear power plant!

"It's 40 cents per charge!" Lao Zhao smiled and held up three fingers.

He didn't say that electricity costs 50 cents or 60 cents per unit. After all, business can't go too far, as long as it can make money!

Lao Wang immediately calculated in his mind that one kilowatt hour of electricity costs 40 cents. This is purchased directly without any pollution costs. When it comes to his own territory, the average kilowatt hour of electricity is about 0.55 yuan, which means that the net profit of one kilowatt hour of electricity is 1.5 cents, and there is no need to pay to the hydropower station. , thermal power stations, wind power stations, and solar power generation with high subsidies, you can still make money!

Can!

make a deal!

"Old Zhao, it's settled. When we get back, we will have people draw up and sign the contract. After 2028, Fujian Province will supply at least 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to Guangdong Province every year!" Lao Wang said immediately.

Although he knew that Min Province had also benefited a lot from it, there was nothing he could do about it. Who told Min Province to produce a devilish genius who would give back to his hometown? There was nothing wrong with the explanations and procedures on the surface, and no one could say anything.

Moreover, Lao Zhao is a real person. He is not as open as a lion, but he also allows Guangdong Province to make money. If he doesn't agree quickly, then Zhejiang Province will intervene again, and there will be no room for regret.

"Okay, it's settled!" Lao Wang had a bright smile on his face, and he negotiated a deal in less than five minutes. At this price, Fujian Province will support Guangdong Province's 100 billion kilowatt-hour electricity supply in 2026. That is 40 billion yuan, 80 billion yuan in 2027, and 120 billion yuan in 2028.

Although only part of this money belongs to the Guangdong Province, it is divided into tens of billions, 10 billion yuan, which can protect many aspects of expenditure, whether it is financial expenditure or launching a few more It’s more than enough for big projects.

"Small hydropower station, hum!" Old Zhao snorted coldly, thinking that those small hydropower stations had already been punished by death for rebelling. All small hydropower stations would be crushed into powder by the general trend.
