Chapter 427: Completion

May 21.

Walkton – The fusion power station is officially put into operation.

Fang Ping and Zhang Huaide took the Speaker of the Australian State Parliament Yoen?? Lake?? Johansen, the Premier of Western Australia, Edward?? Caffano and others are visiting the inauguration ceremony of nuclear fusion power generation.

Unlike rugged thermal power plants, fusion power plants use a combination of ferrofluid and temperature difference technology, which is a very simplified and silent system, with no sound on site except for the slight sound of some electric motors running.

"Fang Branch, will this nuclear power plant be dangerous?" Jon?? Lake?? Johansen is clearly hesitant about the plant.

"Mr. Johansen, this is a nuclear fusion power station, which is different from a nuclear fission power station, its raw materials and products are all non-radioactive elements, and in the reaction process, we have also designed it perfectly, even if there is an accident, there will be no radioactive contamination and nuclear leakage." Zhang Huaide explained proudly.

Fang Ping also patted Johansen on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my office is in Walkerton, if something happens, the first person to suffer is not me." ”

"Oh well! However, for the time being, we should not disclose the matter of the nuclear power plant here, so as not to cause unnecessary commotion. Johansen had no choice but to suppress the news for the time being.

Although the Speaker of the Australian State Assembly is nominally higher than Fang Ping, the Minister of the Western Australian District, in fact, the Speaker of the Australian State Assembly is just a rubber stamp, and he has no right to order a local real power faction like Fang Ping.

And the governor of Western Australia is also one of Fang Ping's deputies, which shows that the strength of the head of the local branch is very strong, which is equivalent to the feudal official.

However, the system implemented by the Galaxy Foundation at the local level is somewhat similar to the separation of powers, with the minister in charge of administration, the minister in charge of statistics, and the head of finance in charge of finance.

In addition, the security force is directly under the Tianhan Security Group, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Galaxy Foundation.

There is also the local board of directors, which is the supervisory and proposing body, and the so-called local board of directors are those enterprises or forces that are affiliated with the Galaxy Foundation.

For example, the six major consortia of the Sun Nation are eligible to join the local board of directors and even have a seat on the top board.

Local boards, small and medium-sized enterprises affiliated with the Galaxy Consortium are also eligible.

Zhang Huaide introduced to several people as he walked: "This nuclear fusion power station has an annual power generation capacity of about 314 billion kilowatt hours, which can meet the power demand of Western Australia for the time being." ”

"314 billion kilowatt hours!" Once again, Edward was in awe of the Galactic Consortium's technological prowess.

"Yes, that's 314 billion kilowatt hours." Zhang Huaide nodded again in confirmation.

Fang Ping said with a smile: "It's just a small matter, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't use so much electricity for the time being, I would plan to launch a Jinwujia nuclear fusion generator." ”

"Type A? What's the difference with this one?" Johansen asked, confused.

"Type A generates 10 times as much power as this Type B." Fang Ping raised his eyebrows and said.

"Oh buy ga, Australia's annual power generation last year was only 550 billion kilowatt hours, and a type A fusion generator is six times as much, it's amazing!" Johansen exclaimed.

"With electricity and fresh water, plus foam cement, we have the confidence to conquer the desert." Fang Ping pointed to the nuclear fusion generator and said in high spirits.

Johansen and Edward looked at each other, and for the first time they felt that there was technology that could really do whatever they wanted, such as transforming deserts, desalination, nuclear fusion power generation, crash buildings, mass projectors, space stations, and the like, all of which they could hardly imagine, or dare not imagine.

In particular, nuclear fusion power generation, as soon as this thing comes out, the productivity of the whole society will skyrocket again, and the price can drop by about 20~40%.

After all, you can buy five White Rabbit toffee for one dollar before, but now you can buy 6~7 pieces for one dollar, and the money is still that money, but the value has risen by 20~40%.

The impact is enormous, and fusion power generation can make a country's development by leaps and bounds, especially for countries that consume a lot of electricity, and it is an opportunity to reach a higher level.

Edward and Johansen are fortunate to be on board with the Galaxy Consortium, which is an honour for Australia.

"Fang Branch, can we also equip the New South Wales side with a fusion power station?" Johansen asked suddenly.

"It's not impossible, but it may take a while." Fang Ping thought for a while and replied, then he turned to Zhang Huaide and asked, "Dr. Zhang, what is the order sorting arrangement of the Jinwu Group?"

"I'll take a look." Zhang Huaide flipped through the holographic file: "It may be around October, Dongtang has an order for one type A and four type B, and Fusang District, Dongying District, Luzon District, and Siam District also have an order for one each. ”

"In October this year? That's okay too. Johansen nodded.

"Johansen can you ask Edward NSW?? Sub-Minister Clegg said that he should apply to the Jinwu Group for a nuclear fusion power station, and in addition, the infrastructure can be prepared in advance. Fang Ping suggested.

Johansen made an OK gesture: "OK, I'll talk to Edward." ”

Fang Ping asked Zhang Huaide again, "Dr. Zhang, when do you plan to go back to Dongdao?"

Zhang Huaide thought for a while and replied: "The day after tomorrow!" In the past two days, I have been looking at the operation of the fusion power station, and if everything is in order, I will return to the East Island the day after tomorrow. ”

"Then I'll trouble Dr. Zhang in the next few days, I'll go and Johansen and Edward to see other places first."

"You get busy first!"

Fang Ping took Johansen and Edward to the rest of Walkerton.

An hour later, the convoy slowly pulled to the edge of the northern area of Wuckton, where the yellow sand was covered with gusts of wind and sand blowing around several people.

Fang Ping, Edward, and Johansen wore sunglasses and masks, standing on top of the sand control embankment.

"The transformation of the Gibson Desert is underway, but the water pipeline is not here yet, and we are now working on the transformation of the Victoria Desert in the south." Fang Ping took off his sunglasses and said.

Edward, holding a telescope, asked, "How quickly can the transformation of the Gibson Desert be completed?"

"It can be completed around 2022~2023, the Victorian Desert is faster, and the preliminary transformation work will almost be completed next year." Fang Ping replied.

"By the way, Fang Branch, those nature reserves still need to pay attention to something, we have to leave a part of the desert as a nature reserve." Johansen reminded.

"Rest assured, these are the nature reserves we have planned." Fang Ping opened the holographic bracelet and called up a planning map.

Looking at the nature reserves on the map, which occupy about one-sixth of the desert, Johansen nodded, after all, if the desert is completely transformed, it is very likely to lead to the extinction of the protists in the desert area, and they should be sustainable, not predatory.

"Edward, I'm going to trouble you with immigration work, there is a very big shortage of workers in the Walkton area lately, and we want more labor." Fang Ping commanded.

"I've accelerated the review, but recently a lot of Nicaya and Malaysians are also applying for immigration, what are we going to do in this regard?" Edward reminded.

"Reject these people, unless it's a Chinese from Nicaea and Malaysia or a white person who believes in Buddhism and Jesus, we don't need garbage." Fang Ping commanded directly.

In fact, Edward didn't look down on these people either, and he nodded in agreement with Fang Ping's approach.
