At this time, the door on the side of the hall of the press center opened, and representatives from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Russian side walked up to the stage in suits and leather shoes, smiling faces.

The flash suddenly went off.

Wu Zhengxiong, director of the Information Office of the State Council, presided over the press conference.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, and welcome to the press conference jointly organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation. Present at the press conference were Comrade Luo Wen, Minister of Science and Technology, Comrade Jiang Jizhong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, Academician Xu Qi'an, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Academician Ma Dingwen, President of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Mr. Kochakin, Ambassador of Russia to China, Dr. Ivanov, President of the State Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation, and Academician Deng Xiangyun, Director of the Institute of Atomic Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. At this press conference, we will explain the joint construction of the world's first nuclear fusion generator set by the two countries, and I will invite Academician Deng Xiangyun to speak. ”

Deng Xiangyun got up and motioned to everyone, then sat down and said: "Good morning, everyone, I will explain the nuclear fusion unit jointly built by China and Russia......

Academician Deng has the typical characteristics of a science man, wearing a pair of thick glasses on his face, gray hair, and some poor words.

After a pause, he continued: "This time, China and Russia will each invest one billion dollars in the construction of the fusion reactor unit, which we call the real Yàn reactor No. 1, which has a rated output of about 5 million kilowatts, and when completed, it will basically meet the power demand of the capital region." The fusion power plant is expected to start construction within a month, with a construction period of 13 months, and is tentatively expected to be connected to the grid by the end of 2014. During construction. We will work closely with the Russian side to formulate corresponding standards for the construction of nuclear fusion power plants, which will be used as a reference for future fusion reactor construction. That's all I have to say, thank you!"

Although Academician Deng Xiangyun's words are not much, when he talks about the investment of 2 billion US dollars, the power reaches 5 million kilowatts. There was an exclamation at the scene.

Not because the number is too much, but because there are too few.

Although yesterday's news only mentioned the power of 5 million kilowatts, most people believe that the investment in this project should be more than 10 billion US dollars, who would have thought that the real budget is only one-fifth of what was envisaged, this is too economical, right?!

"Could this be a preliminary budget?"

"It shouldn't be fake, two billion dollars to build a nuclear fusion airport is too economical. ”

There was a lot of talking.

The host smiled at the reporters' reactions as if they had expected them. said: "Thank you very much Academician Deng for your speech, and we will enter the question session below. The next questions will be answered by Comrade Jiang Jizhong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology. ”

The simultaneous interpreter relayed the host's words to everyone present, and the center of the press conference immediately raised a forest of arms.

The spokesman pointed to a bespectacled girl sitting in the front row and said, "This lady, please!"

The girl got up and said: "Mr. Minister, hello, I am a reporter from CCTV, I would like to ask if Academician Deng just said that China and Russia will each invest one billion US dollars to build a nuclear fusion power plant. Is that the whole investment cost? As far as I know, a five-million-kilowatt nuclear fission plant. The investment amount is probably more than 2 billion US dollars!"

Everyone focused their eyes on Jiang Jizhong.

Minister Jiang Jizhong said with a smile: "On this issue, I can clearly tell you that this is indeed our entire investment. ”

As soon as Jiang Jizhong's voice fell, it immediately aroused a burst of exclamations at the scene.

Although they are laymen, they also know that the application of a new technology. The cost is usually the sum of R&D costs plus manufacturing costs.

Especially when building for the first time, there will be a variety of unexpected difficulties, and the cost will exceed the budget.

Two billion dollars to build a controllable fusion reactor is too little, just a real Iter thermonuclear fusion reactor. The cost is also as high as half a billion dollars, and the power is nowhere near as high.

Naturally, they did not expect that Chen Xin had already prepared a full set of technical materials and samples for China and Russia, and the two countries only needed to build another one according to the template of Mogadishu.

What's more, countries need to invest at least trillions of dollars to make it possible to build room temperature superconductors, and Chen Xin only sold them for one billion dollars, so that countries have taken a big advantage.

Of course, for Chen Xin, this is not a loss than trading.

In addition to the use of guò to win over countries, the cost of room temperature superconductors is ridiculously low.

In fact, room-temperature superconductors seem to be tall, but as long as the civilization rises to the second-level high-level, it can basically be manufactured, and for the third-level civilization, this is even more rotten material. It's like a hundred years ago, the price of aluminum alloy was comparable to gold and silver, but today, it is just the most common metal in daily life.

When the steel hammer tasted the "high temperature" superconducting materials made in China once (the "high temperature" here is relative to those superconductors that are close to absolute zero, in fact, most of the "high temperature" superconductors need to be more than minus 100 degrees Celsius to have superconductivity, and the room temperature superconductor is incomparable), has already explored the key to superconducting materials, Chen Xin only needs to pay the cost of only 10,000 US dollars in material costs, and the steel hammer can be processed and resold, and the price has directly increased by 100,000 times!

Therefore, when Chen Xin offered a billion US dollars to various countries, he was a little embarrassed even about the steel hammer.

How else to say that industrial and agricultural scissors are poor?!

The lower civilization will always be the object of plunder by the higher civilization!

"Okay, then the second question, the lady in the penultimate row. ”

A mature woman in her thirties stood up and said in Mandarin with a Cantonese accent: "Minister Jiang, I am a reporter from HK Ming Pao, and I would like to ask if the mainland will build a fusion reactor power station in HK to replace the Daya Bay nuclear power plant." In addition, when will the Golden Dragon battery mobile phone be sold in HK, and will the mainland crack down on parallel traders who smuggle King Dragon battery mobile phones into HK?"

Jiang Jizhong said with a smile: "On the first question, the promotion of thermonuclear fusion power plants will be planned by the central government, and if the construction is started in HK, it will need to be negotiated with the Hong Kong government. As for the second question, although it is not within the scope of today's topic, I can also answer that the Golden Dragon battery mobile phone will be promoted nationwide, including Hong Kong and Macao. ”

"Thank you, Minister Jiang, thank you very much for your answer!"

"Okay, third question, this lady in brown clothes. ”

"Hello Minister Jiang, I'm Yoshihui Ono, a reporter for Japan's Asahi Shimbun, and I would like to ask if the controllable nuclear fusion reactor is successful, will it be exported to foreign countries? In addition, the Chinese government's rejection of the issue of establishing a joint venture with Toyota to establish a King Long battery automobile plant in China will be related to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's recent statement on historical issues? ”

Hearing that it was a reporter from Japan, Jiang Jizhong's expression gradually became stern, and he said: "Although controlled nuclear fusion technology is developed by China and Russia, we do not exclude technology transfer to friendly countries. The only thing that is certain is that in a short period of time, thermonuclear fusion reactors will only be transferred within the member countries of the Eurasian New Energy Investment Bank!"

Jiang Jizhong paused, and motioned for the simultaneous interpreter to wait for him to finish before translating: "Regarding the second question you said, according to the relevant regulations of the Eurasian New Energy Investment Bank, the Golden Dragon battery can only be used between member countries, and Japan is not one of the member states, so this has nothing to do with the statement of the Japanese leader." However, I would like to make it clear that the Chinese Government's attitude on the issue has always been very clear, and we hope that the Japanese leaders will face up to our concerns. ”

The lobby of the press center fell silent, except for the soft voices of simultaneous interpreters and the crackling of reporters tapping on keyboards.

When Jiang Jizhong said that the controlled nuclear fusion project is likely to be promoted within the member countries of the Eurasian New Energy Investment Bank, it immediately caused an uproar below.

The faces of the American reporters were even more shocked, and anyone who has a slight understanding of international politics understands that Jiang Jizhong's remarks just now are very likely to affect the world situation in the future.

As for the second question he mentioned, few people paid attention to it, not even Ono Yoshihui.

Everybody knows it's a big deal. (To be continued......)
