Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 420 Southern Metropolis ([-])

Zhang Huaide felt relieved after looking at the unloaded containers.

Suddenly, an electric off-road vehicle drove over from the grid road, which is a road used to communicate with each desert control grid.

The off-road vehicle slowly stopped not far from Zhang Huaide, and then a bronze-colored man in a plaid shirt came down.

The man walked towards Zhang Huaide directly.

"Is this Dr. Zhang Huaide? I'm Fang Ping."

"It turned out to be Fang Branch, and I am Zhang Huaide." Zhang Huaide stretched out his hand while speaking.

After the two shook hands, Fang Ping continued: "Dr. Zhang, when will the nuclear fusion power plant be completed at the earliest?"

"It's very fast. If the scheduled time for subsequent equipment installation comes, we can complete the construction within 10 days." Zhang Huaide pointed to the container and replied.

"So fast?" Although Fang Ping doesn't know much about the nuclear power industry, the speed of building a nuclear fusion power plant in 10 days is simply amazing.

"We have adopted a new technology, and all parts have been prefabricated. It only needs to be installed and debugged. Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission power generation are different, and the possibility of nuclear leakage is almost zero." Zhang Huaide explained.

"Then I'll wait and see! Dr. Zhang's dinner is ready, let's eat first." Fang Ping made a gesture of invitation after speaking.

"Western food or Chinese food?" Zhang Huaide was not polite, and got into the car directly.

Fang Ping started the off-road vehicle and replied with a smile, "A combination of Chinese and Western."

The off-road vehicle headed towards the southern metropolitan area.

Zhang Huaide looked at the southern metropolitan area in the distance. In the afterglow of the setting sun, this place looked very strange.

A city in the desert, Nandu is not small at this time. Thanks to the large-scale construction of Sucheng Building, Nandu currently has three 100-meter streets and 34 buildings.

Locals and immigrants walk in the streets, but the number of immigrants with obvious yellow skin is relatively large.

Zhang Huaide even saw a vegetable market sign with Chinese and English written on it.

After a while, Fang Ping's off-road vehicle arrived at the cafeteria. This is a comprehensive cafeteria of the Galaxy Consortium. It not only serves local employees, but also allows outsiders to eat.

Zhang Huaide saw a very interesting scene. Many locals brought their families to the cafeteria to eat.

Fang Ping turned his head and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Those locals seem to like the food in the cafeteria?" Zhang Huaide glanced at the locals who were queuing.

"This is very normal. Chinese food is very popular. Only big cities in Tuao have Chinese restaurants, and they are expensive. Our canteens are all at ordinary prices. It's normal for them to come to eat." Fang Ping replied with a smile.

Suddenly two young people at the side greeted Zhang Huaide and said, "Mr. Zhang, are you eating here too?"

Zhang Huaide turned his head and looked: "So it's Captain Li, don't you have a flight?"

"No, I will return to Darwin tomorrow." Li Chengye was dressed in casual clothes.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang! I'm Tom." Another young man is Tom.

"Hello! Mr. Tom!" Zhang Huaide replied with a smile.

The reason why Li Chengye and the others are called Mr. Zhang Huaide and Mr. Zhang is because he has been appointed as the vice president of Jinwu Group and also serves as the chief technical officer.

Soon Fang Ping ordered the food: "Dr. Zhang, I'll wait for you at the table over there."

"Okay." Zhang Huaide glanced at the food, and then said to the chubby chef, "Master, fish-flavored shredded pork, soy sauce chicken, shredded cabbage, and a tomato and egg soup."

"Here, pay by credit card."

Zhang Huaide took the stainless steel plate, which was full of food, and he directly approached the cash register with the holographic watch.

drop! [Please pay 7 yuan]
Zhang Huaide clicked to agree to pay, and took the food to Fang Ping's table. Here, Mars coins are used, and if they are Australian dollars, they will be automatically converted into Mars coins.

"Mr. Fang, used to be Haifeng Wind Power?" Zhang Huaide asked after sitting down.

Fang Ping, who was gnawing on the Tomahawk steak, swallowed the meat, nodded and joked, "Yes, I used to work for Haifeng Wind Power, so your nuclear power has revolutionized me!"

"Haha, the times are developing, of course we have to keep pace with the times." Zhang Huaide said with a smile.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously." Fang Ping picked up a glass of iced watermelon juice and took a sip.

"It's okay, we are all from our own family. Wind power and photovoltaics are still promising. After all, the transmission lines in many remote areas are not perfect. Using wind power photovoltaics with batteries can be self-sufficient." Of course Zhang Huaide knows the impact of nuclear fusion on wind power and photovoltaics.

"By the way, Dr. Zhang, what is the annual power generation of this [-]-billion-kilowatt-hour nuclear fusion power plant?" Fang Ping asked curiously while eating.

After all, this 1000 billion kWh is too vague. Is it 2000 billion? Or 9000 billion? Or [-] billion? These are all at the level of [-] billion kWh.

"The annual power generation is about 3140 billion kwh." Zhang Huaide replied.

"So much?" Fang Ping knows how much power is generated in Oceania. At present, due to the power investment of the Galaxy Consortium in Australia, the annual power generation is about 5500 million kwh, of which wind power and photovoltaics account for 21% and 37%.

It never occurred to me that just one nuclear fusion power plant can exceed 60% of Tuao's power generation.

"Not much. The power generation of Jinwu No. 10 is about [-] times that of this." Zhang Huaide said directly.

"10 times?" Fang Ping, who had just been promoted to branch chief, obviously didn't know the inside news.

"In fact, when the trial operation was first started, the power generation capacity of Jinwu No. 2.1 was only about [-] trillion kwh. Later, the chairman modified the power generation system and adopted the latest thermoelectric power generation system. Now not only the power generation system is simplified, but the power generation efficiency is also improved. Promoted." Zhang Huaide suddenly laughed while talking.

"What's wrong?" Fang Ping asked confusedly.

Zhang Huaide shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Haha, I just thought that we spent some unjustified money. We used steam turbines to generate electricity before, but now that we use temperature difference to generate electricity, the 60 steam turbine generators are directly scrapped. Fortunately, we built them." 24 units, otherwise the money will be lost.”

事实上改用最新的磁流体发电系统和温差发电系统之后，这两个系统联合起来可以将热效率提升到惊人的80%～86%左右（磁流体38%～44%，温差42%）。

理论上1克DD核燃料大概可以产生8.7万千瓦时的电能，这些能量之中，可以直接利用或者间接利用的热能占83.8%左右（光热转换的44.8%、直接热能27%、氦等离子体残留热能12%）。

After such a change, not only the power generation system has been simplified a lot, but the cost has also been reduced, and the problem of miniaturization has also been solved.

The station in Nandu is called Jinwu Type B [No. 003]. 001 is in Dongdao, and 002 is in Gaoli.

Originally, this 003 was intended to be sent to Siam, but later Huang Haojie considered the strategic needs of Nandu, so he assigned No. 003 to Nandu.

As for Dongying District and Fusang District, the Galaxy Consortium is also planning to allocate No. 004 and No. 005 of the Jinwu B-type to replace the nuclear fission power plants in their territory.

Especially the issue of the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The Galaxy Consortium is trying to solve the nuclear leak. These dangerous nuclear fission power plants will all be shut down according to the plan.

However, the nuclear fission power station of the Sun Country still brought a lot of inheritance to the Galaxy Consortium, such as 47 tons of plutonium.

The reason why they have so many plutonium reserves is because their nuclear power plants use uranium-plutonium mixed oxide, which is 2-3 times more expensive than uranium-oxygen raw materials, and the raw materials are highly dangerous, and the reactors use poor safety. Fast breeder reactors, and boiling water reactors have only one circuit, which leads directly to the turbine.

This backward nuclear reactor is the technology of the first generation of nuclear fission power plants. The reason why they use this technology is mainly to extract plutonium.

These plutonium can be directly used to make mushrooms. It just so happens that the Galaxy Consortium does not need to refine it by itself, and uses 47 tons of plutonium directly. Anyway, they can no longer use it now.
