Chapter 384: Material Factory
Comrade Ao Guanhai's inability to do so actually reflects more of the inadequacy of country M.
For the rise of China, and the huge pressure on country M in all directions and fields, country M has no good way to limit it.
If it were the former Mao Bear Country, they would still be able to drag down their opponents by economic means, but Huaguo's economic achievements are not at all comparable to the original Mao Bear Country, and in this regard, Hua Guo has no fatal flaws.
So can they restrict the Chinese people in the same way that they used to restrict Torayo?
I'm afraid it won't work.
To put it bluntly, no matter how developed Dongli's economy is, it is essentially a non-sovereign country, a country that is still garrisoned by country M! Life and death all lie in the thoughts of country M, and it is just a fat pig raised by country M, and it can be slaughtered whenever it wants to eat meat.
And Huaguo is an independent and self-reliant power, whether it is in the political, economic, or military fields, unless she herself has turmoil, she can no longer be defeated by external forces alone!
It's a pity that country M is about to face all-out competition from such a big power, and all he can do is to deploy a few more aircraft carrier battle groups in the Asia-Pacific region to show his muscles, but the fool also knows that it is impossible for them to start a war against the country on the other side of the ocean, unless they want to turn the table and restart the earth......
No matter how anxious Ao Guanhai is.
Almost the day after Huaguo disclosed the start of the construction of a demonstration reactor in Shanhaiguan, the global stock market began another big carnival and big dive.
This time, it is no longer limited to new energy, and the traditional bulk futures markets such as coal, oil, and natural gas are also like Wu Dalang's hat, floating green across the board.
Controlled Nuclear Fusion Demonstration Reactor!
There is no need for experts and professors to talk about what this means on the screen.
This means an inexhaustible source of energy for humanity!
This means that humanity will start a new industrial revolution!
This means that humanity will march towards the sea of stars!
And what is new energy compared to it?
What are coal, oil, and natural gas?
If these things can become chemical raw materials, especially petroleum, which is an indispensable raw material in the chemical field, otherwise these things would have become worthless long ago!
Despite this, by now, these three fossil energy sources are also destined to be cold.
In particular, China is not only a big consumer of coal, consuming almost more than 50% of the world's coal, but also a big consumer of oil and natural gas!
Natural gas is just that, China itself can be self-sufficient, but China is the world's largest crude oil importer, with 400 million tons of crude oil imported throughout the year, and more than 150 billion US dollars spent on crude oil imports every year!
It is conceivable that if China no longer imports crude oil, the remaining part of the crude oil is basically impossible to be digested by other countries, and the supply of crude oil will be seriously excessive.
Perhaps oil-producing countries can also try to reduce production to stop oil prices from falling, but that will not help, because there are more than one or two oil-producing countries, and all parties have the interests of all parties to consider, and it is not easy to reach an agreement, and by the time the production cut agreement is reached, oil prices are estimated to have fallen to the floor!
If China no longer needs so much oil and coal in the future, who will pay for what they have?
Run, run, as long as you run faster than your peers, you win!
As a result, a large amount of money was withdrawn from the energy sector, and once the panic spread, it could not be contained in any case.
The futures market first began to fluctuate: New York West Texas Intermediate oil plummeted, London Brent crude oil plummeted, Singapore Dubai sour crude plunged;
This led to a major crash in the stock market: the Dow Jones stock index, the S&P stock price index, the London Financial Times stock price index, the Nikkei stock price index, etc., and the world's major financial centers fell into a state of collapse as soon as the market opened.
If it weren't for other high-tech sectors such as nuclear power and aerospace that rose against the trend, it might have caused another economic crisis.
Even so, after the fact, the world's major financial institutions have made statistics on the day's transactions, and in just one day, the global stock market has collectively evaporated hundreds of billions of dollars due to the drag of the energy sector, and almost none of them are gone......
At this time, the financial institutions of various governments have not yet reacted!
However, in China, because of the early layout of the high-level, there was not much turmoil, but took this opportunity to not only harvest a wave of leeks in China, but also to make a run in the major stock markets.
As for how much he has gained, it is not up to Liu Feng to know.
But he knew that in the days that followed, high-level spending in the field of science and technology began to be extravagant, and many scientific research projects that had been "dragged down" because of "antimatter engineering" even received considerable funding and set sail again.
……
The construction of the demonstration reactor will not be accelerated or slowed down by the expectations and denigration of the outside world, because it has its own complete plan.
These days, Liu Feng has also been staying here in Shanhaiguan, presiding over the construction of the demonstration pile, and it is naturally impossible to return to the capital every day and his little sister Zhuo Tingting.
Like all the staff of the base, Liu Feng also lives in the dormitory distributed by the base, the difference is that most of the ordinary employees are double rooms, while a core force like him can only live in a single room.
Although the conditions are a little simple, Liu Feng is not particular about this, and all he needs is a place to sleep.
During the day, he was on site, directly leading the construction work of the four opponents, and at night he was in the dormitory to deal with all kinds of documents.
On this day, it was time for the monthly work report, and as usual, Liu Feng turned on the computer and browsed his work mailbox again through the dedicated network.
There was no surprise, and the leaders of each project team sent the work reports to his mailbox on time.
After briefly browsing the reports of each group, he did not find much of a problem, and the only thing worth his attention was that the nuclear industry group seemed to be very interested in the new materials provided by the Ningbo Materials Research Institute.
After thinking about it, I made a phone call directly to contact Chief Zhang.
"I heard that you are interested in the new NBLF-1 material, how about it, what are your plans?"
"Professor Liu, I have to say that the set of drawings you took is very useful, this kind of superconducting material at room temperature can not only be used to replace the superconducting electromagnet of the super collider, but also plays a very important role in the 'nuclear fusion reactor magnetic enclosure', and even any instrument engineering that involves the need to provide a strong electromagnetic field environment! However, according to the existing production capacity, I am afraid that it cannot meet the needs of these places. Academician Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.
The fact that the nuclear industry group can participate in the construction of the 'controllable nuclear fusion project' is itself a 'pie in the sky' thing, but I didn't expect that this Professor Liu would hand over this kind of room temperature superconducting material to their nuclear industry group for production, which is simply a matter of gold falling from the sky, so how could he be unhappy?
Liu Feng nodded.
As for the role of NBLF-1 room temperature superconducting new material, except for Academician Cui Kun, I am afraid that no one knows better than him.
Not only 'antimatter engineering', but also the use of this material in the military industry as well as in the civilian field, is more extensive.
Needless to say, in the field of military industry, in the civilian field, it is completely possible to directly promote the development of high-tech such as superconducting electrical appliances, superconducting computers, quantum computers, superconducting power generation and transmission, superconducting medical treatment, magnetic levitation, etc., and the money scene is very broad.
The nuclear industry group, as a representative of the state or the military, can produce this material for free, but when it comes to the civilian field, it is a matter for Liu Feng and the Ningbo Institute of Materials.
However, even if it is only for the needs of the military industry, the existing factories for the production of experimental materials can no longer meet them.
"Are you planning to build a new material production plant?" Liu Feng said with a smile.
"That's right," for Liu Feng, the God of Wealth, Academician Zhang is no longer just treating it with a curious attitude, but looking at it from the bottom of his heart, "We plan to put the new material factory in Shuchuan!"
"Shuchuan?" Liu Feng wondered, "Could it be too far?"
In fact, according to Liu Feng's idea, it can be produced near Shanhaiguan, so that if something happens in production, the researchers from the Institute of High Energy Research can also go over to help.
Of course, this is just his own idea, and it does not influence the plans of the nuclear industry group.
Therefore, Academician Zhang shook his head: "It's not far, and it only takes a day to take the railway transportation." The key is that the market conditions in Shuchuan are good, and it happens to be the base camp of our nuclear industry group, so ......"
With such an explanation, Liu Feng also completely understood.
Shuchuan itself is a place where military enterprises gather, and soon, the new super collider project will also be settled in Shuchuan, and the nuclear industry group will place the material plant there, which can be regarded as adapting measures to local conditions.
What's more, from the perspective of production safety, this thing is still a sensitive technology after all, and it is much safer to produce inland than in coastal areas.
Liu Feng nodded, and didn't say anything more.
"Okay, you're experts in this area, I won't say more, as long as you don't delay the supply here. By the way, do you still have any problems with the construction of the demonstration pile?"
Hearing this question, Academician Zhang waved his hand and said.
"Professor Liu, you can rest assured about this! It's not a blow, in the whole of China, our nuclear industry group dares to say that the technology accumulation in this area is the second, no one dares to rank first, even if it is put into the world, our technology is also one of the best. If we can't build a demonstration reactor either, no one in the country will be able to build it. Besides, a lot of the drawings are provided directly by you, if we can't make this thing up, we can just go home and sell sweet potatoes!"
Indeed, the new generation of nuclear power plants in China that the nuclear industry group is selling all over the world is itself the star of the nuclear power project today, and if it were not for the obstruction of ideology and the obstruction of the people of country M, with the advantage of good quality and low price, China's nuclear power plants would have been sold all over the world long ago; even so, the Huaguo nuclear power plant can be regarded as having a foothold in Europe, and it can be imagined that those arrogant Europeans are favored by the products, and it is conceivable that they have a technological advantage in reactor construction.
It's a pity that because of his anti-material project, the nuclear power plant project has become a piece of the past, and even the policy funding has been directly stopped.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's not good, if you go to sell sweet potatoes, who will our project find to take over? If you want to go back and sell sweet potatoes, you have to wait for our demonstration pile to succeed." ”
Hearing this, Academician Zhang's heart was also relieved, this feeling of being valued really poked his heart, especially when this person was still the famous Professor Liu.
After a pause, Liu Feng continued to ask: "The problem of material production has been solved, and nuclear reactors are also your strength, but how long will it take for you to be able to put the new generator in place?"
Unlike traditional nuclear reactor generators, the drawings he provided were 'antimatter high-energy meson generators', and Liu Feng was very worried about whether the nuclear industry group would be able to produce them on time.
If it weren't for the secrecy, he would have handed over this project to Dongfang Electric for production a long time ago!
Without any hesitation, Academician Zhang answered this question with confidence.
"By the end of next year at the latest, not just the reactors, I can also show you a perfect set of power grids!"
……
The superconducting material matter is stable, and there is no problem with the antimatter high-energy meson generator, and the rest of the work that needs to be done by him is just to check and fill in the gaps and technical guidance in the specific construction process, theoretically speaking, when everything is on the right track, he will not have to be as busy as he is now.
Thinking of this, the corners of Liu Feng's mouth gradually hooked up a smile.
When Liu Feng turned off the computer, it was already 12 o'clock.
It was summer, and if it was when he was just in college, it was the time to go outside with his brothers open arms, but now, he hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time.
I have to admit that if you have gains, you will lose, and this matter is difficult to complete.
So he could only send a message to Geng Tang, and then got up and changed his clothes and went downstairs.
Although I have long been accustomed to eating a big pot of rice, and these days, basically like other researchers, I have three meals in the cafeteria of the base, but it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift.
At this time, he especially missed the days with Miss Zhuo Tingting.
Three meals a day, there are young ladies who are delivered on time and fixed, supervising him, and he doesn't have to worry about what to eat, every meal is his favorite meal, which is like now, he can only experience the unique glow-in-the-dark dinner of the canteen with Geng Tang, a big man.
After all, wasn't the purpose of recruiting graduate students to find an assistant for himself?
Thinking of this, this thing is ape......
