The shortage of electricity in the whole country has reached the point of imminence, and even the electricity consumption of urban households has been stopped, and there is only five hours of power supply from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock every day, and the countryside can only be illuminated by kerosene lamps, as if returning to ancient times, the whole country is using this extreme way to ensure production. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The top level of the government is anxious, because according to China's current economic growth rate, the growth rate is likely to exceed 50% this year, and some experts have even calculated that by the mid-80s in five years, the country's economic growth rate will reach more than 100%. At that time, it is necessary for China to start to control the economic speed and push the growth rate back to less than 20%, otherwise after entering the 90s, there will be serious overcapacity in the country and an economic crisis will break out.

China's economic growth has soared over the decades by accumulating a large number of skilled workers and a heavy industrial base, and then taking advantage of the West's pouring of excess production into China.

If you miss this opportunity to rise because the electricity can't keep up, then you won't know when the next opportunity will come.

Perhaps it is really in a hurry, but the government, which was very reluctant to borrow from foreign banks last year, no longer cares about this. Started a large number of loans, and then planned to introduce at least 500 large-scale thermal power stations from Europe and the United States, although there are great elements of great success in it, but this project, if implemented, can indeed greatly solve the problem of power shortage.

As soon as China's large-scale infrastructure project was launched, the European and American power tycoons burst into tears, and they all went to the imperial capital to give gifts and favors, hoping to eat more orders. However, the imperial capital is not as stupid as before, under Chen Xu's earnest teaching, he finally knows how to throw out the conditions first, and then let these power tycoons eat dogs themselves, let them press each other's prices first, and wait until they are almost done, and the State Power Bureau will finally come forward to make a decision, so that it can be introduced to the most advanced thermal power station at the most cost-effective price.

Of course, large hydropower projects in various provinces have also been launched, and the state has also approved them one by one, and water and fire have gone hand in hand to ensure China's economic development.

However, compared with the country's focus on the development of hydropower and thermal power, Chen Xu has set his sights on nuclear power!

The Americans were bitten by snakes for ten years and were afraid of the well ropes, and in order to meet the wishes of the people, those congressmen announced that they would stop building new nuclear power plants in disregard of the fact that electricity is the basis of economic development. It wasn't until 30 years later, when the former nuclear power plants were gradually shut down permanently due to aging, and the United States experienced a severe shortage of domestic electricity, which became more and more expensive, and the manufacturing costs of large factories also increased accordingly, and the export advantage was completely eliminated.

At this time, the US imperialist government realized that the energy crisis and the endangerment of American industry had to approve the construction of a new generation of nuclear power plants on the basis of strict safety standards.

However, at that time, prices were high, the US imperialists were riddled with debt, and the construction price of nuclear power plants was unattainable, and it was impossible for the United States to revive the nuclear power industry. It took several years to shout about the revival of nuclear power, and only then did a nuclear power plant be built.

Unlike at that time, China's nuclear industry was already leading the world, with more than 25 nuclear power units in operation, and if it were not for the impact of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, there would have been more new nuclear power units in the country.

After the Three Mile Island accident, the U.S. government canceled a large number of nuclear power orders and projects, and the nuclear industry fell into an unprecedented blow, and at this time Chen Xu suddenly extended an olive branch, of course, the Americans will not miss such an opportunity to recover losses, the west is not bright and the east is bright, the United States is unwilling to build a nuclear power plant, and it is a very good choice to build it in China, anyway, China is a nuclear country, and the Congress will not have any opinions on building nuclear power plants in China.

It's not that the imperial capital didn't think about introducing nuclear power plants, but compared with thermal power plants, the cost of nuclear power plants is too expensive, and the construction period is too long. In this era, China is fully committed to economic development, and the protection of the environment has not yet reached the level of strictness in later generations, so the more cost-effective thermal power station must become the first choice of projects.

However, Chen Xu thought further, the nuclear industry is the direction of future energy development after all, and starting earlier can also accumulate some technology, and important nuclear power plants can make electricity prices cheaper, and cheap energy is a great good thing for both industry and people, and should be vigorously promoted. The nuclear industry of the United States imperialism started early, the construction scale is large, the technology is mature, and the technology introduced from them is relatively reliable and safe.

Of course, nuclear power plants are also high-end industries, involving a lot of cutting-edge technology, and it is not so easy for China to introduce it, and it needs to pay a corresponding price to make the Americans happily sell the technology.

If the negotiation is so easy, it will not be enough for Chen Xu to come out to negotiate, after all, as soon as he appears, he must take good things to exchange nuclear power technology.

Back in the office, Lao Zhu had already hung his suit on the hanger, quickly changed into a suit, put on his Breguet tourbillon, stuck the pistol on the back waist, put a spare magazine in the pocket of his jacket and went out.

Sitting on Lao Zhu's three-wheeled motorcycle, he quickly rushed to the conference building on the left side of the gate of the industrial park, and as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw the eldest brother coming over, and when he saw Chen Xu, Chen Weiguo immediately walked over quickly and said urgently: "Why did you come!" The American delegation had been waiting in the conference room for an hour, where their leader was throwing a tantrum and the interpreter was struggling to soothe him. ”

"What's the hurry! The initiative in this negotiation is in our hands, the United States has banned the construction of new nuclear power plants, where else can they sell their nuclear power units except China? The more anxious these Americans are, the more they want to do this business, and the more we can keep the price down and get more benefits. Chen Xu put his hands behind his back, patted the dust on his eldest brother's shoulder, and said unhurriedly.

"Shortly after the nuclear accident in the United States, some domestic experts were opposed to the introduction of nuclear power plants, believing that it was unsafe to introduce nuclear power plants from the United States." Seeing his younger brother's relaxed appearance, Chen Weiguo's anxious mood also calmed down, and he followed behind and said.

"Those so-called experts in China don't even know what a nuclear power plant is, and they spray it all over the place with their own imagination, and now there is a shortage of electricity in China, and the price of electricity is so expensive, and the development of the nuclear power industry is an unstoppable trend. Chen Xu sniffed, he was a little cold on a motorcycle just now, and his nose began to run.

The eldest brother walked in front of Chen Xu, rubbed his hands, and pursed his lips: "Little Wu, let's ventilate first, is it a little more to introduce 30 nuclear power units from the United States this time, I feel a little bit of a leap forward." If something happens to these units, it will be a big deal, and if there is a nuclear accident, half of the province will become a no-man's land! Recently, I have learned about the benefits of nuclear power, but the dangers cannot be ignored. First of all, the foundation of China's nuclear power industry is zero, and there is no technology and experience in building nuclear power plants in China, and there are no maintenance personnel for power stations. Cultivate a group of inexperienced college students, and put the safety of half the province in the hands of this group of young people, can you rest assured? Therefore, I suggest that we should start from easy to difficult, first introduce two or three sets of familiar technologies, train personnel, and then expand the scale of nuclear power when all conditions are ripe. ”

Chen Xu stopped, looked around and saw that there was no fourth person present except Lao Zhu, and then replied: "I didn't think about the problem you thought of, now the nuclear power plant has developed to the second generation, the technology is relatively mature, as long as the safety rules and regulations are strictly enforced, there are no man-made accidents, and the nuclear power plant is safe." Now that the price is so cheap, if we don't take advantage of the low price to build more, the cost of a nuclear power plant will be several times more expensive than it is now, and the money spent on the power station will not fall on the people's heads in the end! ”

"Even if it's for the good of the people, it would be nice to build more thermal power stations...... Nuclear power plants are too dangerous, and I always feel unsafe. The imperial capital asked you to preside over the introduction of nuclear power, which is to push the responsibility on your head, if there is a nuclear leak in the future, who will bear the responsibility? "After all, the eldest brother considers the interests of the family, in his eyes, nuclear power is dangerous, and the project is presided over by Chen Xu, and Chen Xu will naturally bear the burden of accidents, and no matter how much credit he has to the country, he will not be able to offset this mistake!

"Big brother, your horizons are low! With the rapid development of the global economy and the growing demand for energy every day, relying on fossil fuels is not a long-term solution. In addition, most of the world's oil and gas resources are in the hands of foreigners, and we need to spend money on imports, and the route of importing energy will be cut off by others at any time. Don't you know how World War I and World War II broke out? Why did the US imperialists and the Soviet Union fight to the death, not all for the sake of global resources. Now that the earth's resources can still meet the needs of human beings, this battle cannot be fought. When the global economy develops to a certain extent and energy shortages begin to occur, then the Third World War will definitely break out, which is the nature of human beings!

My current development of the nuclear industry is just to lay a foundation for the country's future energy strategy, even if it is nuclear fuel, it will not take long, the future route of the nuclear industry is on the fast neutron value-added reactor, as long as the breeder reactor is put into commercial operation, enough for the energy needs of all mankind for thousands of years. ”

Chen Xu is an absolute pro-nuclear faction, and before a breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, nuclear power is the ultimate solution to the future energy crisis.

This time, when he introduced second-generation reactor technology from the United States, he would not simply follow the design drawings of the Americans. Although Chen Xu is a layman who knows about nuclear power plants, at least he still knows a lot of safety measures for third-generation nuclear power plants in later generations. (To be continued.) )
