Chapter 961: February on the plane
After a three-day stay in Kuala Lumpur, Jiang Chen returned to Koh Colo in his Gulfstream G650 to start preparing for his next trip. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shortly after his return, Transwarp sent a construction ship to the waters between Anga Island and the New Malaysia District to begin underwater construction work. Laying such an undersea transmission line is much more cumbersome than building an elevated transmission line on land, but it is nothing for the Star Ring trade, which is often engaged in undersea engineering.
The person in charge of the project assured Jiang Chen that the transmission line could be completed by the end of March at the latest.
On the side of the lunar colony, Tang Weijie, the director of the colony, also assured Jiang Chen through a video call that the laying of long-distance power transmission equipment would be completed by the end of this month (February). As for the Star Ring City, a device to receive lasers is also under construction.
Kerrwyn assured Jiang Chen that by mid-March at the latest, the entire territory of the new country will be powered by electricity generated by the lunar fusion power station. The Koro Nuclear Power Plant, which has been much criticized, can also retire from the stage of history.
……
Throughout February, Jiang Chen spent almost all of his time on the plane.
Following Malaysia's agreement to connect its power grid with the new country, Transwarp's negotiations with Australia, India, Japan, South Korea and other countries are also going on simultaneously.
As Jiang Chen predicted, with an electricity price of 1.2 cents per kilowatt-hour, no one can refuse this unimaginably huge profit margin. Some people speculate that the ring trade uses solar energy, and others speculate that there are large amounts of isotopes of uranium and plutonium on the Bennu asteroid, but no one thinks about nuclear fusion.
Because it is so difficult to achieve nuclear fusion, no material can withstand the tens of millions of degrees of reaction temperature required for nuclear fusion to take place. The legendary cold fusion has more demanding conditions for realization, and has even reached the level of science fiction.
In fact, even in the 22nd century, it is impossible to find materials that can withstand tens of millions of degrees of heat.
If there were such materials, it would not be a problem to fly into the sun and mine. After all, the central temperature of the sun is only more than 20 million degrees Celsius.
But in the not-too-distant future, there is a miraculous technology that can confine particles to a certain space, keeping them hot while keeping them out of contact with other materials. Instead of a material container in the traditional sense, it is held with a pair of invisible hands.
That's the magnetic confinement technique.
But even with magnetic confinement technology included, fusion power generation is still an almost impossible problem for most people. The device of confinement of charged particles by magnetic confinement method was born as early as the end of the 20th century. However, the principle of particle science involved in the use of magnetic confinement techniques to confine uncharged helium-3 and deuterium cannot be explained by modern physics.
In short, the negotiations with Australia were successful, and the Australian side agreed to build the submarine cable, but insisted that the construction and maintenance of the submarine cable must be handed over to the Australian company. Jiang Chen gladly accepted this proposal, and if he really had to hand it over to the offshore construction team of Transwarp Trade, they would not be able to spare their hands, so they could only schedule the construction period to start after the completion of the submarine cable between Anjia Island and the Xinma Special District.
Australia generates almost twice as much electricity as Malay a year, close to 400 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. Moreover, due to institutional reasons, in terms of the specific amount of electricity imported, Australia did not interfere more in the negotiations between Transwarp Trade and its own enterprises like Malaysia.
Australia's electricity is basically monopolized by two major companies, and AGL, which is committed to the development of new energy, has made quite a generous move, and signed a contract of 100 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity without saying a word after hearing Jiang Chen's offer, and has the right of priority to cooperate in the Australian market.
This southern hemisphere market will generate more than $1 billion in revenue for Transwarp Trade every year.
As for India, the negotiations went even more smoothly.
As the world's fifth-largest emerging economy in terms of electricity generation, India's annual electricity subsidy is a frightening figure. It's just that when negotiating with the Indians, Jiang Chen completely felt what it meant to grind. Obviously, the price has been negotiated, but the whole negotiation is inexplicably unnegotiable.
In the end, Jiang Chen simply left the follow-up work of the negotiation to the Indian branch of the Future Bank, and those professional negotiators acted as agents for the entire negotiation, and then set off for Japan.
He has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't have time to waste in one place.
……
In Europe, at the foot of the Alps, on a Rothschild-owned estate, four or five growers are toiling in front of rows of wooden shelves with vines. The cultivation techniques they use are inherited from the traditional cultivation techniques mastered by the Medici family in the 14th century.
The Rothschilds believe that only traditional cultivation techniques can produce the most authentic wines. And the red wine that flows from this winery is also a fine wine of equal value to gold, and is sought after by the entire European high society.
Next to the vineyard, a man in civilian clothes sits on a wooden chair made of rattan as he reads a newspaper in his hand.
If you hadn't walked in, no one would have known that this man with a Jewish face was the uncrowned king of the underground and above-earth powers of all of Europe.
After the tragedy at Plzeň, he integrated all the power of Freemasonry, and indeed lived up to the term "uncrowned king". Of the entire 33rd Degree Conference, only he was the oldest, and as the lord, he not only held the power of Freemasonry, but also controlled the wealth of the entire Rothschild family.
However, at this moment, the expression on the young king's face was very melancholy.
A Mercedes stopped at the door of the winery, and Dwayne Johnson, a black man in a suit, walked into the winery. He was Rothschild's personal bodyguard and his most loyal subordinate, having served Carmen since he was picked out by Rothschild from the French Foreign Legion.
Even the Munich tragedy that shocked the world has an active shadow behind him.
Without looking back at Johnson, who was standing behind him, Carmen turned to the next page of the newspaper and asked in a casual tone.
"Already done?"
Like a ruthless war machine, Johnson replied.
"It's all done. ”
Just two hours ago, all opposition within the EU was silenced.
The corners of Carmen's mouth grinned slightly upwards as she closed the newspaper in her hand.
The butler who had been standing next to him was slightly surprised, this was the first time he saw his young master smile today.
Putting the newspaper aside, Carmen stood up and smiled.
"What about our enemies? Did they perceive it?"
Johnson shook his head.
"Good. ”
Looking at the Alps not far away, the smile on Carmen's face became even brighter, as if the snow had just melted in the Alps not far away.
"It's almost time for me to go. (To be continued.) )
