How Feng Fei snatched a large uranium mine from the mouths of Western countries and became China's uranium ore supplier, the details of which are not only unknown to Gao Yonggang, but also to Peng Xiaotong, who is in this position. However, they know one thing to some extent, that is, the headquarters rewarded Feng Fei seventy or eighty percent because of this.

Just selling out some howitzers is only a contribution to Dongxiang Machinery Factory, which can be regarded as an advanced deed of the military industry "going out", and it is not to the extent that it can be rewarded by the headquarters. Solving the problem of uranium ore supply for the country is not only limited to energy security, but also to national security. Who said that after the end of the Cold War, the world would be in harmony? Without a few treasures, how could a big country like China carry out modernization in a down-to-earth manner?

"Haha, it's really a tiger father without a dog. I have been authorized by the company's leaders to make a decision on this matter, and as long as Comrade Xiao Feng is willing, our State Nuclear Corporation welcomes Comrade Xiao Feng to join at any time. ”

Hearing about Feng Lintao's background, Gao Yonggang didn't hesitate anymore. China's nuclear power industry originated from the military system, Liang Yueqian, Gao Yonggang and these people, in the early years were engaged in nuclear submarines, and later the country launched the 728 project, that is, the predecessor of the Taishan nuclear power plant, they successively turned to the civilian nuclear industry, and the identity still remained in the military industrial system. As military workers, they have a kind of incense for the children of the military industry, and then I heard that Feng Lintao's father Feng Fei is still such a heroic figure, and they have a good impression of Feng Lintao.

"Haha, then I'll thank Director Gao and Chief Engineer Liang for Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng, it seems that you are stained with your father's light. Peng Xiaotong thanked Gao Yonggang and teased Feng Lintao.

Feng Lintao became depressed all of a sudden, and he said sneeringly: "I...... I didn't want to take advantage of this. ”

"How can this be considered an advantage?" Peng Xiaotong reprimanded with a smile, "Comrade Feng Fei is willing to stick to such a difficult environment in Africa for the sake of national interests, by the way, I heard that your mother has also stayed in Africa with him for many years, and you, as their child, should be taken care of." ”

Feng Lintao said: "I don't want to rely on my parents' contributions to gain status, so no matter where I go, when people introduce me, they have to say that I am Feng Fei's son, I hope that one day it will be the other way around, and people can point to my father and say that this is Feng Lintao's father......"

Several people were stunned for a moment, and then they understood what Feng Lintao meant, and they couldn't help laughing. Liang Yueqian wiped the tears from laughter, and cocked his thumb and said, "Haha, ambitious, ambitious!"

"The future is terrifying!" Peng Xiaotong also praised, then pulled back the conversation, and turned to Gao Yonggang and said: "Director Gao, since Xiao Feng is already his own person, there is nothing to avoid." The troublesome thing you just said can also be taken out to test Xiao Feng. By the way, this kind of thing is not a secret from me, right?"

Peng Xiaotong's words just wanted to create more opportunities for Feng Lintao. The National Nuclear Corporation's choice of future reactor types is not within Peng Xiaotong's scope of work, and Gao Yonggang has no obligation to report to him. But if Feng Lintao can have some insight on this issue, even if it is only one or two sentences to the point, Peng Xiaotong can take advantage of the situation to blow the wind to Gao Yonggang, so that Gao Yonggang can arrange a more important position for Feng Lintao.

As for whether these contents are secrets or not, and whether they can let Peng Xiaotong and Feng Lintao know, Gao Yonggang must know it in his heart. What he can say, he will definitely say. What can't be said, he will also have a suitable way to shirk it, Peng Xiaotong doesn't have to worry about whether Gao Yonggang will feel embarrassed.

Sure enough, hearing Peng Xiaotong say this, Gao Yonggang did not refuse, he said with a smile: "This issue is still kept secret from the outside world, but in front of Director Peng, what else is there to keep secret? Xiao Feng, from now on, you are the personnel of our State Nuclear Corporation, and I am afraid you also know the confidentiality regulations, right?"

"I know, the Secrecy Bureau of the Commission of Science and Technology has talked to me. Feng Lintao responded.

Gao Yonggang had already read the relevant political trial materials brought by Peng Xiaotong before, and knew that Feng Lintao was a politically reliable person, so he continued:

"Just now, Xiao Feng said that the two reactor types that are currently more respected in the world are AP600 and EPR, and we have reached the same conclusion after in-depth research. However, there is still some controversy about whether the AP600 should be selected or the EPR technical route.

To be precise, we have formed three plans at present, one is to engage in AP600 like the reactor type, the other is to engage in the EPR reactor type, and the third is to continue the technology of Taishan and continue to do a good job in the old reactor type. According to our estimates, the old reactor type still has at least 30 years of technical life cycle, and the new reactor type just introduced by Xiao Feng has not even built a single one so far. ”

In this era, there has not yet been a generational division of nuclear power. According to the standards of later generations, both AP600 and EPR belong to the third generation of nuclear power, of which AP600 is the predecessor of the later famous AP1000. The reactor type of Taishan belongs to the second generation of nuclear power, which belongs to the same generation as Chernobyl and Fukushima.

After the Chernobyl accident, the safety of second-generation reactors was questioned in the international nuclear power field, which promoted the development of third-generation reactors. However, due to the technical difficulty and high cost of the third-generation reactor, the owner also has some hesitation to fully switch to the third-generation reactor. Six years have passed since the Chernobyl accident, and the scars of the accident are gradually healing, and many people have made the mistake of "forgetting the pain after the scars are healed" and have begun to talk about the superiority of the second-generation reactor again. In the eyes of these people, although the lessons of the Chernobyl accident are painful, they are due to the system of the former Soviet Union, and they cannot complain about the technical shortcomings. As long as everyone is more cautious, this kind of accident will not happen.

This optimism lasted until the Fukushima accident in 2011, when it was shattered. Of course, it is difficult to say whether forgetful human beings will find an excuse for themselves again to resurrect the second-generation nuclear power technology, at least until the era before Feng Xiaochen traveled, it has become the consensus of the industry to replace the second-generation nuclear power with the third-generation nuclear power.

However, at such a point in time as the end of 1992, there were still some voices of support for the second generation of nuclear power technology in the world, and this voice was even stronger in China. The reason why some people in China support continuing to develop second-generation nuclear power is that we have gained experience through the construction of the Taishan nuclear power plant and have obtained technology from France from the Daya Bay nuclear power plant. In the eyes of many people, China is a developing country, and its technological level cannot be compared with that of the United States, Japan, Britain, France, and Germany.

Of course, there are people of insight, after all, the nuclear power system is a concentration of China's best experts, and their vision is very keen. Gao Yonggang and Liang Yueqian, both of whom are among those who support the third generation of nuclear power, are looking for allies to amplify their voices. Although Feng Lintao is only a young man, if he can join their camp, it will be beneficial to them.

Hearing Gao Yonggang's introduction, Feng Lintao gave him a look and asked if he could speak. Gao Yonggang stretched out his hand to signal, Feng Lintao nodded, and said:

"Since the senior director has tested me, then I will talk about some of my superficial opinions. I believe that the Chernobyl nuclear accident is a wake-up call for humanity to be mindful of the safety of nuclear power. Although there were various human factors in the occurrence of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, the occurrence of these human factors could have been avoided if the existence of these human factors had been avoided. But human rationality is always limited, and if any system only hopes that the operator will not make mistakes, then the danger will always exist.

In addition, in addition to man-made accidents, we also need to consider the impact of natural and man-made disasters, for example, if there is an earthquake that causes the power supply system of a nuclear power plant to fail, the cooling problem of the reactor will occur, which cannot be avoided by the careful care of the operator. For example, in order to cool down, many nuclear power plants in the world are built near the sea, and in the event of a tsunami, the power plant room will be flooded, and the circuit will inevitably be cut off, which will also lead to the interruption of reactor cooling and the risk of melting reactors.

The traditional heap type lacks reliability in resisting these risks, and it is inevitable that it will be eliminated by history. In view of this, I believe that it is not advisable to continue the Taishan pile type, and we must follow the trend of technological development and start our own new pile type development as soon as possible. ”

"Is this your own point of view?" Gao Yonggang looked at Feng Lintao and asked.

Feng Lintao nodded, shook his head slightly with a smile, and said, "Some of them are my own thoughts, and some of them are also a synthesis of the opinions of some experts, such as some opinions of my mentor in Germany. In addition, when I discussed the impact of earthquakes and tsunamis with my cousin the other day, I found the example he gave very inspiring. ”

"Your cousin, he is also engaged in nuclear power, and what is his name?" Gao Yonggang asked in surprise.

Peng Xiaotong said with a smile: "Xiao Feng's cousin is not engaged in nuclear power, but he probably has dealt with your national nuclear company." He is an old friend of mine, named Feng Xiaochen, and he is the assistant general manager of the State Equipment Industry Corporation. ”

"It turned out to be him!" Gao Yonggang also smiled, "It seems, Xiao Feng, your whole family is a celebrity." Your cousin is really amazing, he talked to our leader once a few days ago, and said that he wanted to pull us into a limit manufacturing base, and put our reactor shells in this base to be manufactured. Don't say it, this suggestion is really a blessing in disguise. We are engaged in reactors, the most difficult is this reactor shell, more than 100 tons of big play, to be cast and molded at one time, and then with super large die forging forging, no diamond really can't be taken. ”

"So, you agreed?" asked Peng Xiaotong.

Gao Yonggang said: "In principle, I agreed, no, I am preparing materials at hand, waiting to negotiate with the equipment company in detail." Okay now, with Xiao Feng, Director Feng's cousin, we can be regarded as having an insider, Xiao Feng, you have to get us some information to see how to get your shrewd cousin back. ”

"Uh......" Feng Lintao's mind was full of black lines, "Director Gao, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, from childhood to adulthood, he has cheated on me, and I have never taken any advantage in his hands." ”

One sentence made everyone laugh again, and Feng Lintao's entry into the National Nuclear Corporation was decided in this laughter.
