Zhao Yadong and others were talking behind their backs, Feng Xiaochen didn't know, he was taking Zhou Mengshi and Huang Ming to the next company non-stop to carry out the same lobbying. Each company has different interests, such as business conditions, technical strength, development potential, and even leadership styles, etc., and it takes difficult negotiations to convince these companies to join forces to build an extreme manufacturing base. In the past six or seven years, Feng Xiaochen has participated in many such negotiations, and he has already honed his skillful skills in fighting the Confucians.

At this time, a small meeting in a building on the southwestern outskirts of Beijing is also taking place, or it is more appropriate to call it an interview. The examiners sitting below were several senior technical personnel of the State Nuclear Power Corporation and Peng Xiaotong, deputy director of the Commission of Science and Technology, who stood at the end of the conference room and talked eloquently about Feng Lintao, who had just returned to China.

Feng Lintao studied nuclear industry in Germany and hopes to work in the nuclear industry after returning to China. Feng Xiaochen originally planned to use his connections to help him contact a unit, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was not too familiar with the units in the nuclear industry, so he rashly recommended his cousin, maybe there would be some trouble, so he contacted his old acquaintance Peng Xiaotong in the Science and Technology Commission and asked him for help.

Peng Xiaotong met Feng Xiaochen a few years ago when he was entrusted by Feng Fei to help Dongxiang Machinery Factory find income-generating opportunities. At that time, in order to obtain an identity that could be inspected in Dongxiang Machinery Factory, Feng Xiaochen asked Meng Fanze to come forward to help, and Meng Fanze introduced him to an old subordinate who was the director of the Science and Technology Commission, and the old subordinate pushed Feng Xiaochen to Peng Xiaotong, who was the director at the time, and the two met in this way.

Later, Feng Xiaochen met Dong Lao, the old commander of the military, in Dongxiang Factory, and won Dong Lao's appreciation because he helped Dongxiang Factory solve difficulties. When Peng Xiaotong learned of this, he was naturally even more affectionate to Feng Xiaochen, in the past few years, the two of them would communicate on the phone from time to time, and they had met a few times, so they could be regarded as acquaintances.

Peng Xiaotong received the commission and specially asked Feng Lintao to meet him, learned about his situation, and was quite interested in his master's degree from Munich University. Because Feng Lintao wanted to work in the nuclear industry system, Peng Xiaotong asked the Secrecy Bureau to conduct a political review of him and determined that there was no political problem with him, so he made an appointment with the State Nuclear Corporation and arranged an interview for Feng Lintao. In this era, returnees are a rare creature, especially returnees who studied the nuclear industry are even more rare, and the National Nuclear Corporation attaches great importance to it, and sent Liang Yueqian, deputy chief engineer and Gao Yonggang, director of the technical department, to serve as interviewers to preside over the assessment of Feng Lintao.

"Due to the impact of the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in the United States and the Chernobyl nuclear accident in the former Soviet Union, countries around the world have concerns about the safety of nuclear power, and then have proposed a new type of nuclear power concept aimed at significantly improving the safety of nuclear power, hoping to meet the following safety indicators: first, the probability of a core melting accident is not more than 10 minus 5 power reactor years, second, the probability of an accident with a large amount of radioactivity released into the environment is not more than 10 minus 6 power reactor years, and third, the thermal safety margin of nuclear fuel is not less than 15%......

So far, nearly 20 countries, including the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Spain, have been conducting research on improved water-cooled reactors, and the reactor types proposed by them include the following:

Large-scale evolutionary PWRs, including EPR jointly developed by Framatome and Siemens, and system80 developed by ABB of Sweden and combustion engineering of the United States. Among them, EPR has a double-layer concrete containment, four circuits, and an electrical power of 1600M......

The medium-sized passive safety pressurized water reactor is represented by the AP600 of the United States and has an electrical power of 600M......

Medium-sized passive safe boiling water reactor (CSR) is represented by GE SBR with an electrical power of 600M......"

Feng Lintao was a little nervous at first, including the factor of worrying that he was not good at learning and making jokes, and the factor of being unfamiliar with domestic interviewers, after talking for a while, he entered his own world and began to become relaxed, as if he was back in school, discussing those concepts with his mentor that he had already mastered. The engineers sitting below were also attentive, and the sticky notes that were originally intended to be used to record some interview defects were full of their experiences, and everyone was surprised to feel that they were not participating in an interview, but an informative presentation.

Thank you Comrade Xiao Feng for bringing us so much foreign scientific and technological information, which has opened our eyes. ”

After Feng Lintao finished his speech, Liang Yueqian first expressed his praise. Thirty percent of his words were to give face to Peng Xiaotong, who accompanied Feng Lintao, and the other seventy percent was to sincerely appreciate Feng Lintao's speech. For today's interview, Feng Lintao did his homework carefully and revealed a lot of information within the European nuclear industry. Although Liang Yueqian and the others were no strangers to the overall content of what he said, these internal information were unknown to them. Some of these mentions, they were originally just some uncertain concepts, but after listening to Feng Lintao, they knew that their European counterparts also thought the same way, and this kind of confirmation from a third party was also very important to them.

In addition to the content of the speech, Feng Lintao's bookish spirit is also the reason why Liang Yueqian feels appreciative. Whether a person has goods in his stomach and whether he has scientific research ability can be detected from his speech and demeanor. Feng Lintao has always been introverted, diligent in studying, and has been concentrating on studying in Germany for many years, Liang Yueqian and others can hear that he has a solid foundation, not a straw bag with a diploma overseas, such a person, of course, is loved by everyone.

"Comrade Xiao Feng, you have just introduced so many new reactor types that have emerged in the world, are there any tendencies within the scope of your contact, for example, which reactor type is superior and which reactor type has the best development prospects? ”

The question was asked by Gao Yonggang, the director of the technical department, and his question was not untargeted, because the CNNC has also noticed the development trend of water-cooled reactor technology in the international arena and is discussing China's water-cooled reactor development strategy.

Feng Lintao had already studied this, and he nodded: "So far, all these reactor types are still in the design stage and have not entered the formal construction, let alone been verified. According to the speeches of experts in professional journals and some seminars, ABR, System80, AP600, EPR, SBR and CANDU3 are currently attracting more attention, among which AP600 and EPR are the most competitive. According to my personal prediction, the future nuclear power market is likely to be evenly divided between these two reactor types. ”

This judgment is completely consistent with our judgment. Gao Yonggang turned his head to Peng Xiaotong beside him and said.

"Is this the same as what heroes see?" Peng Xiaotong echoed with a smile. Feng Lintao's performance was outstanding, which made him, the recommender, feel that his face was bright, if Feng Lintao was just a waste of fame, he would have to spend more effort to arrange Feng Lintao in, and he would also owe a lot of favors.

"What is lacking now is a sense of identity. Liang Yueqian interjected with a bitter face, "Director Peng, as Xiao Feng said, at present, there are two types of piles in the world, which is a trouble for us. The state has proposed to vigorously develop nuclear power in the 21st century, and we need to make early preparations. So far, we have not been able to reach a consensus on the choice of heap type. I can't take this first step, so how can I take it later. ”

"What are our current thoughts?" Peng Xiaotong asked, he was not in charge of nuclear power, and he didn't know much about this matter, so he naturally asked when he heard Gao Yonggang and Liang Yueqian talk about it.

Gao Yonggang turned his head to look at Feng Lintao, who was still standing on the speaker's seat, and hesitated. Peng Xiaotong saw his thoughts, and said with a smile: "By the way, I was afraid of leaving a preconceived impression on everyone just now, and I haven't had time to introduce it to you." Comrade Xiao Feng is not only a master's degree from the University of Munich and a returnee from studying abroad, but he also has an identity, that is, his own son of our military industrial system. His father is also well-known in our system, his name is Feng Fei, have you heard of it?"

Liang Yueqian was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Feng Fei? ”

"Is it the Feng Fei who volunteered to work in Africa and was rewarded by the headquarters, the one from Dongxiang Machinery Factory?" Gao Yonggang is also in administrative affairs after all, and he usually pays more attention to information, and when he heard Peng Xiaotong say it, he remembered it. Feng Fei took the initiative to apply to stay in Africa, and played a significant role in promoting the development of relations between China and some African countries, especially for his contribution to the cooperation in the military industry, so he was commended by the headquarters. In addition, Gao Yonggang, as a cadre of the nuclear power system, knows more about Feng Fei, because another important part of Feng Fei's work is that he has facilitated China's uranium imports from Africa.

China is a country with scarce uranium resources, and there are very few proven uranium reserves that can be used for civilian purposes other than for military purposes. The state has determined the nuclear power development strategy for the first half of the 21st century, proposing to achieve an installed nuclear power capacity of 40 million kilowatts by 2020, and the nuclear fuel resources required for this are very considerable. With the current proven reserves of uranium ore in China, it cannot support consumption for many years, so the nuclear industry system has long been planning to import uranium ore from abroad to make up for the shortage at home.

Africa is a region rich in uranium resources, but many uranium mines are controlled by Western countries. In its early years, China's operations in Africa were limited to seeking political supporters, and its economic demands were limited, so it did not have access to the rich resources, including uranium, and by the time it did, the resources had already been divided into pieces. Just when the "relevant departments" felt at a loss, Feng Fei appeared.
