Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Shangjing.

In a circle, somewhere mysterious.

Standing at the door of the office, Director Lu took a deep breath and reached out and knocked gently on the door.

After hearing a "come in," he pushed open the door and walked in, respectfully speaking.

“You wanted to see me? ”

Looking at the hand of the Energy Bureau standing at the door of the office, the old man smiled slightly and said.

“I have a letter for you to take a look at. ”

Without hesitation, Director Lu walked up and picked up the letter from the table.

As soon as he saw the section of the title, he had a secret voice in his heart.

Imagine that there are only a few people in the country who can send letters directly here.

As he expected, this letter had something to do with the matter of Jinling.

[Dear…

I'm sure you've heard that in the latest experiment at the STAR Institute, our researchers have managed to achieve magnetic constraint time of more than 60 minutes.

This research leads me to foresee that, in the not-too-distant future, deuterium resources will become an entirely new and important source of energy that we will exploit. This energy source is more efficient, cleaner and closer to "essence” than all the energy we are familiar with.

Theoretically, a full reaction of 1 kg of deuterium mixture could release 108 million kWh of energy and produce 37.8 million kWh of electricity at a rate of 35%.

Thus, it is estimated that only 167 tons of deuterium mixture will be sufficient to meet the needs of Huaxia throughout the year.

Aside from tritium, which can remain as an intermediate product, as the main consumption of deuterium, the cost of a kilogram is less than 4000 yuan. And as production scales up, there is a vast space for cuts.

Based on these obvious data, we can see that the cost of nuclear fusion power generation will be less than one thousandth, if not less, of the cost of conventional thermal power, just by a less complex calculation.

The birth of this energy source will radically change the energy structure of modern society and will radically change the way our society produces life… even everything we know.

Here, as a scholar, it is my duty to remind you that we are already at a turning point in our time, and that the door to a new era is right in front of us.

Of course, the price of pushing this door is doomed.

It's up to you to decide whether to open it or not.

……

This is not the end of the letter, followed by a timetable for commercialization of controllable fusion technology and the expected objectives of the DEMO demonstration reactor, as well as a budget table.

After reading the first page, Director Lu's eyebrows twitched violently.

Throughout the letter, all the euphemisms were written about how the prospects for fusion energy were good and how important they were, yet from that skewed seam, he saw only two words written all over them: "beating money”.

Turning to the next page, there's a plan for the DEMO Demonstration Reactor.

The parameters of the landing professor's own estimation of the various components of the DEMO installation, as well as the performance expectations of the DEMO installation after completion, are detailed above.

[Engineering Objective: Complete the construction of the DEMO demonstration reactor by 2025.

[Evaluation criteria: RF negative ion source sampler emission surface 0.45m × 3.2m, RF plasma uniformity under multi-drive is better than 95%, negative ion emission current density is not less than 300Am2, beam current strength is greater than 20A, negative ion beam composite index reaches energy 200keV, beam flow stability duration reaches 60min...]

Although he had been in contact with the Ark several times before, he didn't even know that Professor Lu was involved in engineering, and the plan was quite decent.

Take a look at the plan from the beginning.

The further back he looked, the heavier the expression on his face.

Leaving the letter in his hand, Director Lu shook his head with some headache.

“43 billion RMB… Professor Lu can really pay for us. ”

And it's not just about the money.

Especially the phrase in the plan, "so that the reactor can meet the electricity needs of the entire province of the Sudan”, sounds like it's bragging and still not blowing the edge.

You know, Su province consumed 58,079 billion kilowatt-hours a year, second only to 59,589 billion kilowatt-hours in Cantonese province, ranking second in the country!

Even if the power station is running 24 hours a day and wants to complete 58.079 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity generation within a year, it will require at least 66300MW of power!

What is the concept of 66300MW power generation?

The total installed capacity of the three Gorges is also only 22,000 MW, and the six units in Greater Asia Bay add up to about 6,000 MW.

So just one fusion reactor generates electricity equivalent to three gorges that are fully open? Eleven Daya Bay nuclear plants?

What the hell kind of monster is that?

Reason told Director Lu that the cow blows no more drafts.

If someone else had put the proposal on his desk, he would have said nothing and left it on his face.

…

After all, Professor Lu blew this cow.

It's quite tempting to think about it...

Looking at Director Lu with a complicated expression, the old man laughed and asked, “What do you think? See what it feels like. ”

“I don't know why he's so sure about the plan, but...” The guy who figured it out wasn't asking his own opinion, just letting himself talk about his feelings, Director Lu hesitated for a moment and said with caution, "I admit that what he said was really what we needed! ”

China is a major energy consumer, consuming hundreds of millions of tons of coal and oil each year. In particular, total coal consumption accounts for almost one-half of the world's coal consumption!

If, as Professor Lu said in his letter, only 167 tons of deuterium mixture is needed to meet China's year-round demand for electricity, then with the widespread application of fusion energy, China's future spending on energy may not even reach the current point!

And it's not just about the economic value behind it, it's about politics. The cure, and its own cleanliness.

From subsidies to the new energy industry to “quota targets” for minimum renewable energy and electricity consumption set by the Renewable Electricity and Energy Quota Assessment Scheme for provincial administrations, and regardless of the local implementation of the policy, there is no doubt about the State's commitment to the development of clean energy.

Otherwise, the term energy-saving emission reductions would not be repeated at every congress.

This efficient, inexpensive, well-stocked and hardly polluting energy source can solve almost once and for all all all all the problems facing China today in its "sustainable development strategy”.

If this is indeed possible, they do have the need to develop this technology at all costs.

“Tianma nodded,” the old man nodded, paused for a moment, and said, “but I think it's worth a try. ”

Upon hearing this statement, Director Lu said in a modest manner and immediately respectfully.

“I get it. ”

Although there were some doubts in his mind about what was stated in the letter, his doubts were now irrelevant.

More than 40 billion big projects can't be made at random by someone. Now listening to this adult is so relaxed, it is clear that this proposal has been unanimously endorsed by the Presbyterian House.

There is only one thing that needs to be done now, if even the top level agrees.

That is to draw up a plan to meet all the conditions put forward by Professor Lu and make every effort to ensure that this “DEMO Demonstration Reactor” project can be mounted quickly!

What suddenly occurred to me, the old man sitting behind the desk asked.

“By the way, how's the project at the International Center for the Implementation of Controlled Nuclear Fusion Energy Programs going? ”

Director Lu replied honestly: “In terms of the timetable, they intend to start building demonstration reactors in 2025… but all aspects are not yet ripe. Now, I'm afraid we have to postpone it. ”

The old man shook his head: “Too slow. ”

No, it's okay.

In this comparison, the gap is reflected.

Director Lu: “… after all, there is no hurry to research this thing. ”

“You're right, work slowly,” the old man nodded and continued, “so let them study it slowly. Since they are not in a hurry to use the money for the time being, move some of it out of their funds first. ”
