I Have A Super USB Drive

In the evening, when Shikuyel from the Ministry of Investment of Namibia visited again, Chen Chen informed him of the location of the site.

Although Shicuyel was a little embarrassed after listening, he still smiled and said that he would report Chen Chen's proposal to Congress.

As for whether the Ministry of Investment and the Ministry of Environmental Protection will diverge due to this, or even fight each other in the Congress to determine the outcome, it has nothing to do with Chen Chen.

In the next few days, Chen Chen declined the official company of Namibia, and brought only a few people from Qian Wenhuan to visit the tourist attractions in Namibia.

Even in the entire African region, Namibia is considered to be the country with the most developed tourism industry. Tourist attractions and wildlife sanctuaries can be seen everywhere here.

Spitzkoop Mountain, known as the sacred mountain, has the world-famous rock arch bridge, which is extremely magnificent and magnificent under the stars at night;

In the vast desert, there is a quiver tree that is unique to Africa, and its branches rise to the sky, like palms that are taken from the sky;

There is also the majestic scene of the yellow sand entering the sea. On one side is the endless desert, on the other side is the vast ocean of smoke. The two originally unrelated are perfectly integrated in the sea, like a symphony of a sea of ​​sand...

The sparse population represents a large number of undeveloped natural landscapes, coupled with spring-like temperatures throughout the seasons and a more stable political situation than neighbors, making it the most popular country for tourism in Africa.

Of course, Chen Chen didn't just go for fun, he also visited Hushan and Luoxin two uranium mines controlled by Zhongzhou District.

Both uranium mines are located in the Namib Desert in western Namibia. The Hushan uranium mine is 60 kilometers away from the coastal city of Swakopmund, and the Rosin uranium mine is located 10 kilometers south of Alandis.

Of the two uranium mines, the Hushan uranium mine ranks third in the world in terms of uranium resource reserves, with a total resource of 286,000 tons. It can produce 6,500 tons of uranium octaoxide each year, ranking second in the world.

The Rosin uranium mine has an annual output of 2500 tons, ranking fifth in the world.

After the visit was over, Chen Chen's heart became heavier on the way back.

After initial contact and discussion, the quotations of China General Nuclear Power Group and China National Nuclear Corporation are almost the same. If Chen Chen wants to build a nuclear power plant with a generating capacity of 1 million kilowatts in the southern part of Walvis Bay, it will roughly cost 14 billion.

When converted into US dollars, it is 2 billion US dollars.

The reason why the market price is much higher is actually the reason for the material transportation.

The building materials needed for nuclear power plants are basically impossible to find with African industries. They must be transported by sea from the Central Continent. The cost of the 15,000-kilometer journey will naturally increase.

Of course, this is referring to the price of the third-generation nuclear power plant CAP1400, which is an improved version of the AP1000 technology imported from North America in the Central Continent.

Generally speaking, the reactors of nuclear power plants are divided into "light water reactors" and "heavy water reactors". The "heavy water reactors" are basically not used in the Central Continent, and the "light water reactors" have always been used.

The "light water reactor" is divided into "pressurized water reactor" and "boiling water reactor".

The CAP1400 is a kind of "passive pressurized water reactor", which first fission of nuclear fuel to generate a large amount of heat energy, and then uses water under high pressure to take the heat energy out, and uses a generator to generate steam to drive the steam turbine to rotate, so that electricity is continuous. To come out.

Different from the second-generation reactor, the biggest feature of the third-generation CAP1400 technology is that it is simple and easy to operate, simpler and more effective than traditional nuclear reactors, and further improves the safety of nuclear power plants.

As for another type of "boiling water reactor" nuclear reactor, just look at the fate of the Donghaizhou Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.

In addition to higher safety, another reason Chen Chen chose CAP1400 is that modular technology can be used in the construction of third-generation nuclear power plants, which can greatly shorten the construction period of nuclear power plants.

However, after understanding the working principles of these nuclear power plants, Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh. No wonder people on the Internet always complain that "the essence of human technology is to boil water and to study how to boil water more effectively."

The only thing that made Chen Chen dissatisfied was the power of the reactor.

A 1 million kilowatt nuclear power plant sounds scary, but in fact it is only 10MVA. According to the average electricity requirement of 8KW per household, three people per household, half of the demand factor, can supply 750,000 people with daily electricity.

Moreover, Chen Chen is not generating electricity for love. His real purpose in building a nuclear power plant is to charge the USB flash drive. Therefore, even after the nuclear power plant is built, Chen Chen will definitely have some deductions, and even most of the deductions are normal operations.

Therefore, one million kilowatts of nuclear reactors are simply not enough. Chen Chen hopes to expand to 2 million!

It seems that the loan and release of new products is an urgent plan.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen sitting in the four-wheel drive off-road vehicle subconsciously looked out the window.

The empty wind on the plain swept across Chen Chen's face, bringing a hint of coolness. At this time, the setting sun had already set in the sky, leaving only the afterglow of the afterglow to reflect most of the sky.

The sky and the earth gradually dimmed, and there were also fires in the occasional villages on both sides of the road.

"Electricity", a product that has long become part of human daily life in the 21st century, is still a luxury in this wild and backward country...

Who could have imagined that Namibia, which is full of uranium mines and extremely rich in rare earth resources, would rely on imports for 70% of its electricity.

Namibia’s annual GDP is only 14 billion U.S. dollars, 20% of wealthy white people account for 80% of the country’s total income, 60% of banks are controlled by foreign capital, and ordinary people generally live in poverty. Below the line.

Namibian officials simply do not have the financial resources to invest in the capital and technology needed to develop nuclear power plants.

Because of the country’s backward economy and insufficient funds and lack of relevant technologies for nuclear energy development, there is a serious shortage of electricity throughout the country. They can only guard the treasure mountain of uranium mines, but there is no way.

Due to the perennial power shortage, the Namibian government was even forced to introduce a policy called "Adjust the Single Buyer Model" to encourage qualified independent power manufacturers to sell power resources directly to their own people, instead of the current situation. It is all controlled by the Namibian power company.

From here we can see how miserable this official is.

However, this is already a very wise and powerful official in the African region, and there is no resistance even in the territory. Unlike other countries, where wars and warlords fight all day long, not to mention development, peace and stability are a luxury.

But precisely because of this, Chen Chen's intention to build a nuclear power plant immediately caused the entire Congress to shake.

After all, the investment in a nuclear power plant alone exceeds the total foreign trade of Namibia throughout the year.
