Chapter 569 Interview at Station C

Shangjing.

Changan Street.

After a morning meeting, Wang Yongping, the Chinese oil chief who came out of the conference room, looked at the meeting notes in his hand, and his face was a bit subtle and complicated.

Since the beginning of the month, a series of adjustments have been made to the energy development strategy at the senior level, while at previous meetings detailed deployments have been made to the development plans of several energy enterprises in the country for the next five years.

As far as the content of the decisions taken at the meeting is concerned…

Not a good thing for PetroChina at least.

Firstly, the cap on overseas investment was cut by about $130 billion, and secondly, the contracts already signed remained unchanged, stopping the expansion of overseas oil and gas fields within three years, and so on.

And not only that, there are a series of hard indicators such as "50,000 charging piles in two years”, "At least four or more charging piles per station along the highway within a year”.

From all indications, the State appears to have taken the attribute of fuel out of civilian petroleum products with an iron heart.

In fact, he did not fail to understand the kind of decisions made at the top. After all, the foreign exchange reserves consumed annually by China on this item of energy imports are staggering.

However, understanding and understanding, it is impossible to say that there is not a single feeling of flesh pain in the heart.

Especially overseas investment, but oil and water are the fattest places.

With such a knife down, it still made him feel some flesh pain.

But they're not the worst.

At least they're lucky compared to the coal companies that got that ticket dried down.

Needless to say, just that understatement of production capacity doesn't know how many people have to get their hair off the ground.

Especially the placement of laid-off employees, local finance in several coal-producing provinces...

Wang Yongping was just thinking about them, all feeling numb on the scalp.

Beyond that, they are not the only energy mining companies, but the two major grids and the five major power groups have been assigned their respective tasks.

In particular, there are clear provisions for the total installed capacity of fusion reactors and adjustment programmes for industrial and residential electricity prices.

Nevertheless, the electricity company had reaped relative advantages at the meeting compared to those paid.

In particular, cross-regional electricity transmission projects to Laos and Myanmar.

If this project is completed, can you make money? Second, this is the performance of Red Fruit...

Exporting energy to neighbouring countries means that the country will have a stronger voice in the region.

Wang Yongping admitted that his eyes were red.

This is people sitting at home, and the credit goes to their heads automatically.

But there's no way. Who wants luck?

……

With the breakthrough of controllable fusion technology, both domestic and foreign politics... Governing the situation will usher in a new round of shuffling cards in this new round of productivity change.

And of course, there are people who are happy, there are people who are sad.

Yet the fate of the individual, in times of change, is often insignificant.

Just as the tide of history is irreversible, nothing can stop it from moving forward.

In such a large environment, I am afraid the entire year 2020 will not be calm.

However, the ark itself, which begins this new era, seems much easier than the “actors” who are busy on the stage.

There's even time to go next to the TV station and string the doors.

The day before the New Year, the Scientology Light studio was live and the audience was crowded with people.

He walked into the studio in a round of applause, walked onto the stage ark and waved at them with a smile, then sat on the couch he had prepared in advance.

While sitting on the sofa, the ark simply measured the audience underneath.

These audiences have younger faces, most of whom should look like students from local universities, and some from nearby high schools and even junior high schools.

When I saw him, everyone was excited about the look on his face, and the applause underneath was quite warm.

The only thing I don't know is, I don't know if these people are a group show invited by TV...

emmmm...

Just pretend it's not okay.

Sitting opposite the ark, the host He Ying looked at the ark and smiled.

“Professor Lu, are you feeling better? ”

The Ark nodded with a smile: "It's almost recovered, or I wouldn't be sitting here either. ”

There was a good laugh coming from the audience.

As planned, the camera suspended above the studio brings a few close-ups to the audience's expression.

The propaganda department wanted him to send a signal to the public and the international community through the programme that his health was improving.

Although it was unclear whether there was any objection to doing so, the Ark was pleased to accede to their request.

After all, my body is almost fine.

Making so many people worry about their health still makes him a little uncomfortable.

After a chilling atmosphere, He smiled and said to the Ark: “Before the show starts, I'd like to ask you a few questions for our audience friends. ”

The index fingers crossed on his knees, and the ark leaning against the couch laughed and said, "Ask me, as long as I can answer, I'll be sure to say nothing. ”

“This Professor Lu assures you that it will be easy for you.” He Ying flipped the card in his hand and said with a smile, "The first question came from a Suzhou internet friend. ”

“In his question, he expressed concern that thermal pollution from controllable fusion could exacerbate global warming. What do you think of this problem, Professor Lu? ”

Does anyone else know about the heat pollution?

The eyebrows lifted with interest, and the expression of the ark appeared unexpected.

Looks like the audience for this session is pretty good.

At least don't ask, "Will the fusion heap explode more powerful than the fission heap?" ”This is a crying question.

Leaning on the couch, after a moment of reflection, the ark laughed and said, “Global warming is a systemic topic, and let's not talk about this possibility that this friend said for the moment, just from a scientific perspective. ”

He Ying: “Scientific thinking? ”

Ark: “Yes, Junior High Physics probably mentions that when we look at a moving object, the first thing we need to do is pick a suitable frame of reference and then look at the relative motion of the object against the frame of reference. ”

“For example, a running athlete, when we discuss his speed, we do not study the size or frequency of his steps individually, nor do we discuss the speed of his swinging arms, but we use him as a whole, using the runway or something else as a frame of reference, to discuss his displacement and time relative to the runway at the same time. ”

“For a vast system, like the Earth. When we study it, we cannot study only one sample in the system in isolation, but we should look at the discussion as a whole in terms of the spatial and temporal scales that correspond to it. ”

“Putting controlled fusion on a par with the Earth's environment is in itself an approach that runs counter to scientific thinking. ”

“Because thermal or nuclear power is only a means of generating electricity. Instead, the total calorific value of society's productive life is determined not by the means of electricity generation, but by demand. ”

He Ying: “Demand? ”

The ark nodded: "Yes. ”

To some extent, controllable fusion will accelerate productivity, but will it not develop without nuclear fusion productivity? This is obviously not possible.

As long as the need for development exists, civilization will eventually develop to that point over time, only to walk relatively slowly and pay more on the road.

Looking at the audience under the stage, they seemed to understand the expression, and the ark guessed that most of them didn't understand it, so they changed their answer to a more commonly understood statement.

“Controllable fusion technologies are beneficial for mitigating global warming on a shorter time scale. The energy conversion efficiency of conventional thermoelectric technologies is about 35%, which means that we produce 1 unit of electricity, we release 2.85 total heat by combusting coal, and we release carbon dioxide and other sulphur-containing gases, and so on. ”

“But controllable fusion does not exist. According to the magnetic fluid generator set on the STAR-2 demonstration stack, the theoretical energy conversion efficiency can now reach 50%, and there is room for further improvement. Based on 50 per cent of this data, in order to produce 1 unit of electricity, we need to release only 2 units of total heat, while there are no greenhouse gas emissions. ”

“China is a major energy consumer, consuming half of the world's total coal each year. If we make a change in carbon emissions, the whole world will change because of us. ”

In terms of longer time scales, it is not only about human behavior, but also about other, more cyclical factors.

For example, the cyclical pattern of solar activity.

In the middle of the twenty-first century, solar activity has a greater probability of entering the very small phase of Monde, with 0.3 per cent less heat reaching Earth than the very large phase.

And what is this 0.3% concept?

Referring to Mr. Geranium's "History of China's Meteorology", four small glacial periods in history coincided with a special period of alternation of the four dynasties: Yin Zhou, the Han Dynasty Three Kingdoms, the Tang Dynasty Five Generations, and the Ming Dynasty Early Qing Dynasty. In the end of Ming, for example, according to historical records, Mingwuzheng Zhengde in the seventh winter, Dongting Lake frozen a foot, the Yangtze River frozen turning moon is inexplicable, so its power can be seen.

Relative to solar activity, those calories released by human activity are not at all on a scale.

At least for now, it is still too far off.

However, time is limited, these things don't need to be overquoted in the show...
