The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 513 Monopolizing Coal Resources
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, it has been a year since that thrilling sea conflict.

This year, the whole world seems to have not changed much, but it is actually changing quietly.

a few days later.

The first "controllable nuclear fusion" nuclear power plant in human history was successfully ignited in Shancheng City and started operation.

This "controllable nuclear fusion nuclear power plant" is jointly constructed by Phoenix Group and "Yanguo Nuclear Power". Because it is the first in all mankind, the design plan is relatively conservative. 4 million kilowatts, that is, a "small nuclear power plant" with [-] million kilowatt-hours of electricity.

Of course, because there is no large-scale construction, the construction cost of the first "controllable nuclear fusion" nuclear power plant is still relatively expensive, especially the cost of "nuclear fusion reactor" is very expensive, and the final overall cost is compared with the same scale of "thermal power plant". " and "nuclear fission power plant" cost nearly ten times higher.

But soon.

When the "controllable nuclear fusion power plant" is officially in operation at full capacity, its ultra-low power generation cost advantages are completely highlighted, which is shocking.

The nuclear reaction material used in the "controllable nuclear fusion nuclear power plant" is derived from heavy water (deuterium monoxide) extracted from seawater. With the utilization rate of "nuclear fusion" being N times more efficient than "nuclear fission", only 1.3KG of heavy water is used to participate The reaction releases the energy required by 4 million kilowatt generators.

In other words, only 1.3KG of heavy water can complete [-] million kWh of power generation.

Even if 5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity are sold to the State Grid at 5000 cents, the price is 1.3 million RMB, while the price of 9000KG heavy water is only [-] RMB.

The huge cost advantage of Phoenix's "nuclear fusion nuclear power plant" allows everyone in the world to see the absolute subversion of "controllable nuclear fusion technology" in the energy field. There is no resource in the world that is cleaner and cheaper than "nuclear fusion". The future of energy must be "controllable nuclear fusion".

Soon, the Yan Kingdom officially issued a document to vigorously develop the construction of "controllable nuclear fusion nuclear power plants", which will reduce the amount of electricity generated by hydropower and thermal power.

As soon as the announcement came out, the price of coal, which was already at a low level, and the coal used to generate electricity in thermal power stations completely avalanche, and the global coal plummeted again.

Taking this opportunity, Yanguo officials also began to transform the mining of coal resources.

You must know that my country is the largest coal producer, consuming nearly 40 billion tons of coal each year, most of which are mined domestically, and a small part is imported from abroad.

Although my country's proven coal reserves rank first in the world, with decades of continuous mining, shallow resources have been exhausted, and deep resource mining has gradually become more difficult and costly.

And with the continuous start, the damage to the local geology and environment has become more and more serious.

Therefore, taking the opportunity of the sharp drop in coal prices, the government directly and forcibly reduced domestic coal production capacity, and prepared to replace all the coal originally mined by the country with lower-priced and better-quality imported coal.

Several large domestic coal companies quickly understood the official intention. Since domestic production capacity has been reduced to prevent mining, they should go to foreign countries to purchase mines for mining, and then transport the foreign coal back...

State-owned enterprises such as Shenhua Energy, Yanzhou Coal Industry, Yanguo China Coal, etc. have gone to sea one after another. At this time, when coal is at its lowest point, it waved RMB and began to buy overseas high-quality coal mines.

Australia's high-quality natural open-pit coal mines immediately became the "hunting target" of several Chinese companies.

As we all know, the quality of Australian coal is very good, with the characteristics of low ash, low sulfur, high heat, and high mining value. Compared with the coal mining environment in Yanguo, Australian coal is almost all open-pit coal mines, and the mining cost is extremely low. There is no subsidence of the bottom layer, pollution of water sources, casualties caused by landslides, etc.

Such high-quality mineral resources should be placed in the past, and it is impossible to buy them without a high premium.

But now with the emergence of "controllable nuclear fusion", "controllable nuclear fusion nuclear power plant" has become a reality, and the underlying logic of all fossil energy has undergone fundamental changes!

Coupled with Yan Guo’s initiative to reduce the scale of thermal power plants, it can be foreseen that in this world that is more and more concerned about environmental protection in the future, coal will inevitably be replaced by cleaner energy, and the future of coal is not optimistic.

The huge fear of the future and the year-long low coal price have completely made many overseas coal companies unable to support. After hearing that some companies have acquired coal mines, they have come to their door to sell the coal resources in their hands.

At this time, the price of all coal mines has changed from a premium to a discount. High-quality mines are [-]% off compared to the highest point, and mines that are not close are even [-]% off or [-]% off.

At this time, the advantage of a strong RMB exchange rate was manifested. The banks directly loaned tens of billions of RMB to several state-owned enterprises at low interest rates. The newly printed banknotes flowed into the international market and returned countless high-quality coal resources.

Under the influence of banknote capacity, several major coal companies in Yanguo successfully won all the high-quality Australian coal mines sold on the market. State-owned enterprises such as Shenhua Energy, Yanzhou Coal Industry, and Yanguo China Coal took this opportunity to taste the sweetness and gradually moved from mining to mining. Large-scale coal enterprises have transformed into international trade-oriented enterprises that control global coal transactions.

So far, the amount of domestic coal mining in Yan State has been decreasing every year. Only ten years later, more than 90% of Yan State’s coal is imported from overseas.

the other side.

Several large domestic private mining companies have also understood the official meaning. They are different from state-owned enterprises. Private companies have taken a fancy to coal resources in Africa and South America.

Especially in the African continent, these private enterprises know very well that there will be no "nuclear fusion power stations" in these areas of Africa in the next few decades. Here, the future will still be dominated by fossil energy.

Moreover, with the expansion of the Phoenix Group's industrial base in Burundi, the previous photovoltaic power generation has gradually failed to keep up with the development needs. Several thermal power plants have already started construction, and the future demand for coal will usher in an explosion.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, several large domestic private mining companies joined forces to strike hard on the African continent. Taking advantage of the low coal price, they quickly won high-quality coal mines in many African countries.

Of course, Yanguo companies are not the only ones with strategic vision. For example, Anglo American Resources, Sange Coal and other global large mining companies have discovered that Yanguo companies are making trouble after finding out that Yanguo companies are buying bottoms, and they also want to get a piece of the action.

but!

After the conflict a year ago, the current world pattern has completely changed!

Not only are many African countries themselves more willing to sell their mines to Yanguo companies, but the attitude of Yanguo companies is extremely tough, and the former Western bosses dare not even fart under various means.

There is no way, hammering the neon lights, drinking back North America, has the prestige of Yan Guo's official victory, and no country in the world dares to dance with Yan Guo.

In a short period of time, Yanguo Mining launched a frantic attack, and quickly grasped most of the global coal's discourse power!
