Chapter 423 Nuclear Fusion Power Station

Huo Sheng is a veteran of Tianxin Group, and has been in charge of Tianxin Super Energy Company for a long time, and Lu Yang is very relieved of his loyalty and ability. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, Penglai Energy Company and Tianxin Super Energy Company are different after all, although they are both enterprises, but their nature is completely different, so Lu Yang hired a consultant team for him from the National Energy Administration.

"Boss, the kilometer-high building is too difficult to build, can it be reduced a little?" Huo Sheng looked at Lu Yang's project map and suggested.

The two discussed the Hope Lighthouse project, which Lu Yang personally planned, specifically to build a 1,200-meter-high building in the center of Penglai Island, about 10 kilometers southeast of Sanxian Lake. Covering an area of over 70,000 square meters, this building is somewhat larger than the Pyramid of Khufu and, if completed, is definitely the greatest building in the world.

As for the effect of the Hope Lighthouse, it is to provide energy for the entire Penglai Island, so it is called the Lighthouse. Luyang has previously purchased ultra-long-range energy wave transmission technology, which can transmit energy to a distance of 1,000 kilometers without loss through a high-power energy transmission tower.

Lu Yang plans to build the Lighthouse of Hope into an energy transmission tower, and below it is the world's first nuclear fusion power station. In the future, the electricity generated by the nuclear fusion power station will be transmitted to every corner of Penglai Island through the Lighthouse of Hope, and the cars on Penglai Island will have unlimited power, residents will no longer need wires in their homes, and all household appliances will be able to be charged wirelessly. Here, no one will worry about the phone running out of battery, and everyone will no longer have to worry about the safety of electricity......

It is hoped that the lighthouse will not be limited to civilian use, but will also be of great use in the military. For example, the Guardian-class destroyer, as long as it is equipped with an energy receiver, it can cruise infinitely in the sea area of 1,000 kilometers around Penglai Island, without worrying about energy.

The nuclear fusion power generation technology that Lu Yang obtained half a year ago has been able to be put into use. Previously, he purchased a lot of nuclear power equipment from China, which has been transformed by him. Speaking of which, Huaxia is a world leader in nuclear fusion research, and some key technologies have made breakthroughs, otherwise, Lu Yang would not have been able to get together the nuclear fusion equipment so quickly.

Three months ago, Lu Yang started to build an underground power plant in the area where the Hope Lighthouse was located, and after investing a large number of robots, the power plant has been half completed, and two generating units will be officially put into use in September, and the power generation is expected to be 20 times that of the current Penglai Island Nuclear Power Plant!

In Huo Sheng's view, Lu Yang's plan is good, that is, the technical difficulty is relatively high, and the thousand-meter-high building has not yet appeared in the world. Such a tall building is greatly affected by the wind, and the western Pacific Ocean, where Penglai Island is located, is a typhoon-prone area, so it is not suitable for such a tall building.

"No, as an energy transmission tower, if the lighthouse is too low, it will affect the distance of energy transmission." Lu Yang rejected Huo Sheng's suggestion.

"Boss, for Penglai Island, a transmission distance of 500 kilometers is more than enough, and 1,000 kilometers is not necessary." "Penglai Island covers an area of only 4,000 square kilometers, and the farthest distance from the ocean is less than 100 kilometers, and we only need 500 kilometers of transmission distance to cover the entire island and exclusive economic zone." ”

"If you look at it from the moment, your reasons are very good, but don't forget, we will expand in the future." Lu Yang pointed to the map and said, "Penglai Island was created by us, and in the future, we will build more islands, just in this area, so I hope that the transmission distance of the lighthouse must be more than 1,000 kilometers." ”

Huo Sheng looked at the area demarcated by Lu Yang, and then understood Lu Yang's thoughts, and felt embarrassed: "Boss, even according to this specification, our own electricity is not enough." ”

"You don't have to worry about electricity, in another three months, our power generation capacity on Penglai Island will increase by 20 times!"

Huo Sheng was shocked, it increased 20 times in three months, if this was not what Lu Yang said, he would definitely not believe it. Penglai Island now has three major power plants, a nuclear power plant, a wind power plant and a solar power plant. Among them, the nuclear power plant is located in the western part of the Huanghuai District, which is the main source of electricity on the island, and was officially put into operation last year, with an annual power generation capacity of 15 billion kilowatt-hours, and the second phase of the project will be completed in August this year, and the power generation capacity will be doubled.

Wind farms, located in the northeastern district of Thanh Ninh, were the main source of electricity before nuclear power plants. It is one of the largest wind turbines in the world, with an installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts and an annual power generation capacity of more than 8.7 billion kilowatt hours.

The solar power plant, located in the Jinlong district in the northwest of Penglai Island, generates the smallest of the three major power plants, generating about 500 million kilowatt hours per year.

Huo Sheng calculated in his heart that according to Lu Yang, by September, Penglai Island's power generation will increase to more than 800 billion kilowatt hours, equivalent to 13% of the country's power generation last year!

"Boss, there are less than 200,000 people on Penglai Island now, do you need so much electricity?" Huo Sheng asked in surprise.

"I don't need that much now, but it's hard to say in the future." Lu Yang Road.

Penglai Island started as a third-level civilization and required much more energy than conventional development. Lu Yang found that the more human civilization progresses, the greater its dependence on energy and the more energy it consumes. In the case of Penglai Island, the proportion of industrial robots and engineering robots is increasing, and these robots are completely dependent on energy to work.

Having said that, as long as the energy is sufficient and the resource supply is available, there will be more and more robots on Penglai Island, and the speed of island construction will be faster and faster.

In addition, in the future, Penglai Island will also be inseparable from huge energy to achieve intelligence. Think about how much energy a supercomputer needs to consume, and in the future, Penglai Island will be almost full of supercomputers. Of course, technological advances have dramatically reduced energy consumption, but it is undeniable that a terrifying energy supply is needed to support an intelligent system.

The universe has grown from nothing, from small to large, and is inseparable from energy; Civilization from weak to strong, from the ground to the sky, is also inseparable from energy. Energy isn't everything, but it rules everything! Therefore, in Huo Sheng's eyes, there is a surplus of energy, but in Lu Yang's eyes, there is a shortage of energy.

Huo Sheng failed to persuade Lu Yang to change his mind, and felt a little regretful in his heart. He insisted on taking a look at the project that Lu Yang said could increase the power of Penglai Island by 20 times, but Lu Yang couldn't resist him, so he could only take him to visit the nuclear fusion power station.

The fusion power plant is much larger than Huo Sheng had envisioned, with an area of more than 1.5 million square meters and a significant portion of the project being built underground. Huo Sheng saw that this project, like other projects on Penglai Island, was full of construction robots on the construction site.

"Boss, it hasn't been long since this project started...... Huo Sheng asked.

"Construction started in March, the first phase of the project has been completed by 50%, and the unit equipment will be installed and debugged next month, if nothing else, it will be officially put into use in September." Lu Yang Road.

Huo Sheng was shocked: "Boss, isn't this speed too fast, it's only been half a year, this is a nuclear power plant!" ”

Huo Sheng had to be shocked, the nuclear power plant is too dangerous, like Lu Yang is in such a hurry, if there is an accident, the entire Penglai Island will be over!

"The second phase of the Penglai nuclear power plant project is about to be completed, and our power generation capacity will be sufficient by then, so there is no need to rush so much. In my opinion, the construction of this nuclear power plant should be slowed down to ensure safety. Huo Sheng said.

Lu Yang didn't speak, but took Huo Sheng to the underground building, and the two of them took the elevator down to about 50 meters above the ground, and Huo Sheng saw a huge and empty cave.

"You don't have to worry about safety, the center of the nuclear power plant is here. Moreover, we are using very mature nuclear fusion technology, more than 30 years more than the current nuclear power technology, and there will be no problem! (To be continued.) )
