I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 497 Electricity Prices Dropped
"Bang~bang~"

Accompanied by the sounds of gongs and drums, Liu Fei, Nan Junpeng and others took scissors and cut the red ribbon.

Everyone came to the control center of the controlled nuclear fusion power station.

"The Dabaishan controlled nuclear fusion power station has been officially completed and put into operation!"

"ignition!"

As the broadcast sounded, the engineer at the control center gently pressed a red button, and the controlled nuclear fusion device began to start up.

The built-in nuclear fusion ignition device has beams of lasers that quickly converge on a very small point.

In an instant, the terrifying high temperature and high pressure instantly ignited the nuclear fusion material, and the entire nuclear fusion device began to operate.

With the operation of the nuclear fusion device, powerful energy is continuously generated, and then the water begins to boil.

That's right, although it is an advanced controlled nuclear fusion power station, it ultimately boils water to form high-temperature and high-pressure steam, which is then used to drive steam turbines to generate electricity. The electricity finally generated is transmitted to thousands of households through the power grid.

Whether it is controlled nuclear fusion, traditional nuclear power technology or thermal power generation technology, the function is to boil water and provide energy and energy. They are all the same in power generation, which is to boil water, just in a fancy way.

"The temperature is normal!"

“The pressure is normal!”

"Start generating electricity!"

With the perfect operation of various controlled nuclear fusion facilities, it began to generate a steady supply of electricity and began to be transmitted to areas with power shortages.

"Okay!"

"Now we don't have to worry about running out of electricity anymore."

"In recent years, electricity consumption has been increasing, so much so that many places have experienced power outages and power outages, leading to many complaints."

"Electricity prices have also been rising again and again, and everyone is complaining."

"Now that we have a controlled nuclear fusion power station, the power generation of this controlled nuclear fusion power station is equivalent to that of dozens of traditional nuclear power plants. In the future, our entire Northeast and North China regions will no longer have to worry about electricity problems."

Nan Junpeng said with a smile on his face.

If there is one thing that has bothered him the most in recent years, it must be the problem of electricity.

There is no way, there is a power shortage, there is a power shortage everywhere.

It's not just Jilin Province that is experiencing a power shortage. Electricity supply is very tight everywhere, and the price of electricity is rising again and again. It is the only thing that has increased in price now.

Even gold is falling sharply in price, but electricity prices are rising against the trend. It used to be a few cents per kilowatt-hour, but now it is almost one dollar per kilowatt-hour.

Because the demand for electricity is simply too great.

On the one hand, industrial electricity consumption has increased significantly because the economy in various regions is developing rapidly and is still dominated by real industries, such as the various industries extending out from the aircraft manufacturing industry, which are all physical manufacturing industries.

A large number of supporting factories are needed, and each of these supporting factories is a power hog and consumes a huge amount of electricity.

In addition, with the rapid development of the interstellar mining industry, the smelting of mineral resources also requires a large amount of electricity.

Industrial electricity consumption was already very large in the past, and it is even larger now.

After all, we are the only one engaged in the anti-gravity aircraft manufacturing industry, which is equivalent to concentrating the previous global automobile manufacturing industry here. You can imagine how huge this industry is.

There are more than 400 anti-gravity aircraft manufacturers of all sizes across the country, plus millions of supporting factories and a large number of supporting industries. The electricity consumption is much greater than before.

In addition to the anti-gravity aircraft manufacturing industry, there is also electronic chip manufacturing. Virtual machines are also made by Feiyun Technology. The core chips in virtual machines consume a lot of power to produce, and they are extremely power-consuming.

Economic growth in recent years has mainly relied on the growth of the real economy and the development of industry, so electricity consumption has naturally increased rapidly.

Another aspect is the popularity of anti-gravity aircraft, which have basically replaced cars.

Anti-gravity aircraft consume a lot of electricity.

In addition, people’s lifestyles have changed dramatically since they acquired anti-gravity aircraft.

In the past, although the automobile industry could go to faraway places, people's lives were basically limited to one city, and the number of times they traveled to other places in a year could be counted on one hand.

At most, I would go out for travel, business trips, or go back to my hometown, just a few times, not too often, and not too frequently.

But now it’s different. With the anti-gravity aircraft, people can go out faster and more conveniently.

Basically, everyone's lifestyle is to live in rural areas and then work in cities. The daily commuting distance can be as short as a few hundred kilometers or as long as a thousand kilometers.

In addition, everyone’s entertainment, consumption, and leisure are gradually becoming globalized and are no longer limited to a certain city.

For example, when colleagues, old classmates, or old friends have a dinner together, they may go to the grassland to eat roasted whole lamb today, go to western Guangdong to eat sashimi tomorrow, and go to Tianfu to eat hot pot the day after tomorrow.

Because it is more convenient and faster, people fly all over the world, and the number and frequency of gatherings are much higher than before.

After all, you could say in the past that you didn’t have time and it was inconvenient, but now that we have flying machines, if you still say that it is inconvenient or you don’t have time, you are lying.

In the past, when we went out to travel, we would choose a period like May Day or National Day to go out and have fun.

It’s different now. You can go on a trip on a whim during the weekend. Moreover, many areas now have visa-free or on-arrival visa policies, so traveling abroad is very convenient.

Sometimes you don’t even need to bring clothes with you, you can just get on the aircraft and go, play in the local area for a day, and then fly the aircraft back home at night.

This greatly saves travel expenses and also stimulates the development of the tourism industry.

In the past, people always felt that their wallets were not full enough when they went out to travel. Now it is different. Flying an anti-gravity aircraft only burns electricity, and other expenses are basically very small. You can go wherever you want.

If the children want to dig sand, they can do so. They can fly directly to the beach to dig sand the next day.

If you want to see the desert, you can fly directly to the world's largest Sahara Desert to experience the endless desert.

Want to go to Antarctica to see penguins?
Well, in the past this was a summer activity for rich kids, and it would cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to go.

Now with anti-gravity aircraft, you can take a bucket of fish to Antarctica to care for penguins.

If you want to go to Africa to see the great migration of animals on the savannah, no problem, just fly there.

It can be said that the emergence and popularization of anti-gravity aircraft has greatly facilitated global exchanges and communication and profoundly changed all aspects of our lives.

Of course, the electricity consumption naturally increased, like flying on an airplane.

In the past, when cars became popular, oil consumption increased dramatically. Now, with the popularization of aircraft, electricity consumption has skyrocketed.

There are also various large anti-gravity aircraft, which are even more power-hungry, and each one consumes more power than the other.

In the past, cross-border freight was mainly transported by sea, relying on large ships to transport containers to all parts of the world.

Now we mainly rely on large anti-gravity aircraft, which are faster and more efficient in transportation and can be transported to any place in the world.

Naturally, these ocean-going freighters were gradually eliminated.

Each of these large anti-gravity spacecraft consumes a lot of electricity, which is equivalent to turning the previous oil-burning ships into electricity-burning spacecraft.

The electricity consumption naturally soared.

The world is experiencing a power shortage and is experiencing an unprecedented power panic.

Electricity is somewhat different from other products.

First of all, increasing the power supply is not an easy thing. You need to build power stations and add generators to increase the power supply.

But building a new power station, even the fastest thermal power station, will take at least two to three years to complete. It is not something that can be built all at once.

Moreover, the production cycle of related power generation equipment, generator sets, etc. is also very long. These products are basically customized products, and they need to be ordered from manufacturers individually based on the conditions of their own power plants.

It's not like buying a car, where you can just give yourself money and buy it immediately.

In particular, the production cycle of large-scale power generating units is longer, and a specialized scientific team is required to conduct demonstration, experiments, etc.

As for the construction period of hydropower stations, it is even longer, especially for super-large hydropower stations like the Three Gorges Project. Its construction period takes at least ten years. There are too many factors to consider in all aspects. It is not that you can build it quickly if you want to.

In places with strong execution capabilities, it is relatively faster. In places with poor execution capabilities, it is even slower. All kinds of wrangling issues alone are enough to suspend a project for several years. Sometimes it may take more than ten years to repair a road or build a factory.

Secondly, the investment in power stations is generally large. For example, the investment in hydropower stations and nuclear power stations is very large, with a long construction period and high technical difficulty.

There are not many countries in the world that can play this game.

As for thermal power, the investment is not small, and many power equipment are difficult to purchase now, and are not allowed to be exported at will because of relevant environmental protection agreements.

This is the most fatal thing for the backward countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, because development requires electricity, but even if you have money, you cannot buy power generation equipment, which locks your development path.

Power stations require large investments and have a long payback period. People have many concerns when investing, and it’s not like they can invest right away.

Even now, when there is a power shortage everywhere and electricity prices are soaring, people still have many concerns.

On the one hand, the demand for electricity is surging, while on the other hand, the power generation cannot keep up with the demand, which naturally leads to power shortages and large-scale power panic.

This is not too serious in China. After all, our power generation has always been large, and we also have the most advanced ultra-high voltage transmission technology, etc.

Another thing is that we have strong action capabilities. When there is a shortage of electricity, we build power stations and act very quickly.

As soon as Feiyun Technology's controlled nuclear fusion technology came out, it was quickly approved, and three controlled nuclear fusion power stations were built at once, which is equivalent to building hundreds of ordinary nuclear power plants.

This is very efficient, and many other power stations have been built. Although there is still a shortage of electricity and electricity demand is tight, the situation is relatively good.

But in many parts of the world, this situation is very serious.

Not to mention Asia, Africa and Latin America, it is not easy to generate electricity in these places. It is difficult to buy power generation equipment, and they don’t know how to make it themselves, so they can only watch helplessly.

Building a hydropower station requires huge investment, you don’t have the money, and the construction period is long. If you let outsiders do it and face all kinds of unfair terms, will you sign them?

The situation in developed regions of Europe and America is somewhat different.

Electricity in these places is largely privately controlled, and these capitalists are not interested in increasing electricity supply. They prefer a faster way to make money, which is to raise prices.

Now the electricity price in these areas is generally 1.5 Euros per kilowatt-hour, and it will never go down. The electricity price is so outrageously high that people in Europe and the United States have begun to learn to save electricity and learn the virtues of diligence and thrift.

Also, it is not easy to build new power stations in these places.

As for thermal power, people say it is not environmentally friendly. As for hydropower, those that can be built have already been built long ago, and the places where they cannot be built have no value.

Nuclear power requires huge investment, a long construction period, and is easily opposed by local people. There are so many different issues that it’s hard to say when all the arguments will end.

This is also one of the important reasons why power capital in these places does not like to build new power stations.

To be honest, who doesn't want to make money? The key is whether the money is easy to make, whether it is stressful to make it, etc.

There is power shortage in backward areas, developed areas, and all parts of the world, and power shortages are becoming increasingly serious everywhere.

Power outages are also common.

Nan Junpeng also expressed his feelings.

In recent years, Jilin Province's economy has taken off and developed extremely rapidly, and electricity consumption has increased significantly.

The power shortage is a real headache for him, especially for large enterprises and companies whose electricity supply must be guaranteed, otherwise the economy cannot be maintained.

Ordinary people naturally complained about the lack of electricity, so he tried all kinds of ways to solve the electricity problem.

For this reason, I often competed for electricity with my brothers in the surrounding provinces.

Now I don’t have to worry about electricity anymore.

The power generation of a controlled nuclear fusion power station in front of us can be equivalent to that of dozens of traditional nuclear power plants, which is equivalent to adding dozens of nuclear power plants at once. There is no need to worry about insufficient electricity in the short term.

Moreover, Liu Fei also said that a new solar radiation power generation technology has been developed. By that time, solar radiation power stations can be built in space. Just building a few of them will be equivalent to several Three Gorges Hydropower Stations, which can fully guarantee the power supply.

"It's still not enough to rely solely on controlled nuclear fusion to generate electricity."

"If we can use solar radiation to generate electricity in space and then use wireless power transmission technology to transmit it to the ground, then we can more than just meet our own electricity needs."

"And we can also export electricity on a large scale to all parts of the world."

"This electricity is the energy of the new era. If we can master it in our hands, it is like we have mastered the oil of the new era."

Liu Fei thought for a while and said.

"You have also developed wireless power transmission technology?"

When Nan Junpeng heard this, he was slightly stunned.

This wireless power transmission technology sounds very advanced, transmitting electricity directly from space to the earth.

Wow, you can tell how powerful this technology is just by listening to it.

If there were dozens of Three Gorges Hydropower Stations in space generating electricity continuously, the electricity could be exported to all parts of the world through wireless power transmission technology.

Just thinking about it, Nan Junpeng felt that this plan was really crazy, but also very exciting.

It was said that oil was the lifeblood of industry, but that was in the past.

Electricity is now the lifeblood of industry, and it is also related to all aspects. After all, there are more and more anti-gravity aircraft, and without electricity, we will have to go back to the era of using gasoline.

Whoever controls electricity controls the energy and lifeline of this era.

"Well, I just made a breakthrough recently."

Liu Fei nodded and said, "I plan to build a space solar radiation power station on the moon to give it a try first."

"There are many large and small lunar bases, lunar mining sites, and lunar smelters on the moon. The most troublesome problem has always been the use of electricity and water."

"I'm going to give it a try first. If it's really feasible, then I can meet the electricity demand on the moon first."

"The impact on the moon is not that great, but you can try it first."

Nan Junpeng thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what the brains of you scientists are made of. You always come up with some fantastic technologies!"

"If your plan really comes true, it will be really amazing."

Nan Junpeng sighed, saying that Liu Fei was really a man who dared to think and act, and the key was that he was always able to research out all kinds of black technologies.

Solar radiation power generation technology plus wireless power transmission technology are meant to completely control the pace of global electricity.

When Liu Fei and Nan Junpeng were discussing controlled nuclear fusion power stations, solar radiation power generation, and wireless power transmission technology.

With the Dabaishan controlled nuclear fusion power station officially starting to generate electricity and being connected to the grid, the power supply in the entire Northeast and North China regions increased greatly in an instant.

A steady stream of electricity began to be transmitted to various places.

within the virtual world.

"It's down, it's down, the electricity price has finally dropped!"

"The phone is ringing, the phone is ringing, the phone is finally ringing!"

"The electricity is back? It's really back. It's not easy, but it's finally back. I don't even want the price to go down, I just hope there won't be a power outage. It's really unbearable in this hot summer."

"That's right, as long as there is no power outage, it doesn't matter whether the electricity price goes down or not."

"The price has really dropped. Let's take a look at the latest announcement. The Dabaishan controlled nuclear fusion power station has officially started to generate electricity. This nuclear fusion power station is equivalent to dozens of traditional nuclear power stations, which means that dozens of power stations have been added at once."

"Not only has the price of electricity been reduced, but they also said there will be no more power cuts."

"Is this true? The current electricity consumption is so high, it would be strange if there is no power shortage."

"It's true. After the two controlled nuclear fusion plants in the south and northwest were connected to the grid, the price of electricity dropped. It has returned to 7 cents, and there has been no power outage for more than ten days."

"This is nuclear fusion power generation technology. One reactor is equivalent to dozens of reactors. The power is sufficient for the time being."

"This is true. We haven't had a power outage in the south for a while. I heard that it's because the controlled nuclear fusion power station has started to connect to the grid to generate electricity. The power supply has increased greatly and can basically meet the electricity demand."

"We don't have power outages here anymore, but the voltage is still not good enough. Everyone uses too much electricity. It's still very slow to charge the aircraft at home. We need to go to an air supermarket or a special charging company to charge it."

"The voltage here is not good, but the power consumption is too high, especially since it will soon be the hottest time. I think I will be short of electricity by then."

"It's terrible! If there is a lack of electricity in the summer, people will die of heat."

"Yes, lack of electricity in the summer can really make people die of heat."

"Summer has already begun in the south, and it's too hot. Electricity is still in short supply. I feel that at least ten more controlled nuclear fusion power stations need to be built before everyone can use electricity freely."

"Our situation is relatively good. At least we can still use electricity, and the price of electricity has dropped. Many places abroad are really short of electricity, and the price of electricity has gone through the roof."

"That's right. I run a supermarket in Europe and I don't even dare to look at the electricity bill. The monthly electricity bill is over 10,000 Euros. I'm planning to close the supermarket and give all the profits to the power company."

"I am also in Europe. Electricity costs 1.5 Euros per kilowatt-hour. I can't afford it. I simply can't afford it. I always fly back to charge my car. After calculating the round trip, it is much cheaper to charge my car back home."

"1.5 Euro is nothing. Electricity is even more expensive in North America. It's almost 2 Euros per kilowatt-hour now. I can't afford it at all."

"You always say it's expensive. What I want to say is that some places are expensive, but the key is that there is no electricity. There are frequent power outages. In serious cases, the power supply is less than four hours a day."

"So it's still more comfortable to be at home. At least I can enjoy the air conditioning and play virtual games. If there's no electricity, I'll be dying of heat."

"Of course it's comfortable in my hometown, otherwise why are you thinking of going back instead of going out?"

"Where do you all go to charge your batteries now?"

"Go to the Sky Supermarket to charge your battery. Electricity there is the cheapest."

"Yes, I can go to the Sky Supermarket to charge my phone. Every time I charge my phone, I can go shopping and buy groceries at the same time. It's very convenient."

"I heard that some privately built small hydropower stations are cheaper to charge, but I don't know if it's true."

"Yes, but they are usually overseas, very far away, and the round trip consumes a lot of electricity."

"I want to build a small power station on the river near my home, at least the electricity I use should not be a problem."

"This is really popular now. You can buy special equipment online, and the construction is not difficult. The electricity you use at home is completely sufficient."

"I built one, but the voltage won't work."
