Chapter 822: Dignitaries Gather
This luxury cruise ship named "Queen Elizabeth" is not the famous aircraft carrier of the United Kingdom, but a luxury cruise ship belonging to New Zealand, because the nominal supreme head of New Zealand is Her Majesty the Queen of England, so the ship was named "Queen Elizabeth".
This ship is the top cruise ship in New Zealand and even the whole of Australia, with a displacement of up to 67,000 tons, and the luxurious facilities inside can be called the first cruise ship in the Pacific, and it is a top five-star luxury cruise ship.
Today, this five-star luxury cruise ship welcomed the most distinguished group of guests in the three years since she entered the water, although there were only about 50 guests, but more than 30 of them were either the president or the prime minister of a country.
The first or second leaders of the most developed countries on the planet, plus the president, prime minister and senior officials of Fiji, as well as Tang Feng, the veritable richest man in the world, this is definitely the most distinguished group of guests welcomed by the Queen Elizabeth after entering the water.
Fiji's capital, Suva, is more than 200 kilometers from Rausala, and the Queen Elizabeth has a cruising speed of about 23 knots, taking five hours to reach Lausara Island.
The Queen Elizabeth, as luxurious as it was, didn't look much in the eyes of these dignitaries, and besides, they were not interested in the luxury cruise ship at their feet, but about the nuclear waste disposal base that was about to meet.
The process of disposing of the nuclear waste in Huaxia has long been sent back to their respective countries by the representatives of the IAEA member states through mobile phone video, and it has been handed over to the desks of the heads of state of their respective countries as soon as possible.
And this video is really powerful, and the heads of state of these nuclear countries immediately took the initiative to send out invitations to visit after seeing this video. They had to see the nuclear waste disposal site with their own eyes before they could draw conclusions.
There is a lot of nuclear waste to play around, especially for these nuclear countries. Nuclear waste is a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. No head of state wants a nuclear disaster during his term of office, whether it's an accident at a nuclear power plant or a problem with nuclear waste, which is something they don't want to see.
And once this nuclear waste disposal base can really solve the nuclear waste problem that has plagued the major nuclear countries for decades, then the basic national policy of these nuclear countries may even change.
That's right, when it comes to nuclear safety, that's a basic national policy. You can't be sloppy in any way.
Everyone knows that nuclear power is good, the cost of power generation is low, clean and pollution-free, one kilogram of uranium-235 is equivalent to 2,700 tons of high-quality coal, and one ton of nuclear fuel used up in a nuclear power plant is equivalent to saving almost three million tons of high-quality coal. How much is a ton of nuclear fuel? More than 100,000 dollars! And how much is three million tons of high-quality coal? The most conservative is also worth more than 14 million dollars!
And nuclear power has no air pollution, and how much carbon dioxide and pollutants will be produced by burning three million tons of coal?
This is definitely a question that even a fool can judge.
But if there is no nuclear waste in nuclear power, if there is no danger of nuclear leakage in nuclear power plants, it can be said unceremoniously. Nuclear power is the main means of obtaining energy for mankind in the future.
Unfortunately, the danger of nuclear leakage from nuclear power plants and the unsolvable problem of nuclear waste have made nuclear power one of the most failed ways to generate electricity in the new century. Some nuclear-armed countries, including Germany, have even legislated to abolish nuclear power altogether.
But even if the whole world abolishes nuclear power, what about the nuclear waste that has already been generated? In particular, those radioactive elements with a half-life of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years are a huge time bomb left by this generation to future generations.
And this generation will definitely be scolded by future generations standing on the grave!
So. Even the heads of state of these nuclear powers suddenly heard that there was a perfect solution to nuclear waste. I can't wait to confirm the news in person.
Because once the nuclear waste that cannot be disposed of is perfectly solved in their hands, then it is also a good thing for them to go down in history. No politician wants to give up such a good opportunity!
On the front side of the top deck of the Queen Elizabeth, Tang Feng, the current U.S. Secretary of State, John Brown. Forbes. Kerry, the current President of Germany, Joachim. Gauck, the current Prime Minister of France, Manuel . Valls, the current President of Italy, Sergio. Mattarella and the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Brown. Cameron, the six of them, are gathering.
In addition to China and Russia, almost all the leaders of the world's largest nuclear states have gathered here, precisely because of the strength of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and the United States. Heads of state from other countries did not come along.
US Secretary of State John Kerry served as US Secretary of State in ******, but after Bush Jr. took office, he remained in office and became Bush Jr.'s right-hand man.
Kerry pointed to the two modern-class guided missile destroyers guarding the Queen Elizabeth in the distance. smiled and said to Tang Feng: "Tang, these two modern class ships are really a bit overkill in Fiji. "Kerry is not wrong at all, with the power of the modern class, there is really no need for small Fiji to have a missile destroyer of this grade.
Tang Feng smiled and said, "John, there is no way to do this, who let my nuclear waste disposal base be placed in Fiji!" I bought these two Hyundai-class ships specifically to protect that base. ”
Kerry shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile and opened his mouth to say something more, but didn't say it after thinking about it.
In fact, there is a lot of debate in the United States about the nuclear waste disposal site. With the arrogance of the Americans, they naturally would not let this nuclear waste disposal base be placed outside the territory of the United States, even if Tang Feng placed this nuclear waste disposal base in the territory of the United States in the Pacific Ocean, but Tang Feng put this base in Fiji.
If it weren't for the pressure of George W. Bush, the opposition of a group of members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the fact that Tang's net worth is indeed very terrifying, many congressmen are a little jealous, perhaps the United States would have really taken action against Tang's base.
It seemed that there was a little bit of a mismatch between Kerry and Tang Feng, and German President Gauck interrupted with a smile: "Tang, can your base really solve those headache nuclear wastes perfectly?" ”
Tang Feng still respected this seventy-year-old man, nodded and said: "Your Excellency, the ship of nuclear waste in Huaxia is still being processed, and it will take at least a week to complete the disposal." When you arrive at Rausara Island this time, you will be able to witness the process with your own eyes. At that time, you will have the most intuitive understanding of this nuclear waste disposal base. (To be continued.) )
