In this strategic cooperation that has a significant impact in the domestic economic circle, Duke has only attended a few agreements and groundbreaking ceremonies, and his energy and focus are not in these vain places, but with the research team led by Professor Zhu Yunqian to improve the design of the 800M Lotus Reactor D-80 system, so that it has the ability to build a commercial test reactor, which is more urgent than the second-generation Lotus reactor, because the NDRC has opened the floodgates to approve the new nuclear power construction plan.

If Duke can come up with the design results, Dongfang New Energy's application for the first 800M commercial experimental reactor can be submitted to the NDRC as soon as possible.

So when Duke asked Kerry to complete the final simulation test of the D-80 system, the test results showed that all design indicators had high reliability and safety, and Duke finally put an end to the D-80 design.

Originally, according to their plan, the D-60 600M model was used as the main reactor type for future nuclear power construction, after all, the power of the D-30 in China is too small, and the economy is not very cost-effective, the D-60 design was completed relatively early, and the construction in Pakistan has also begun, and the grasp is very large, but Duke returned to the Lotus base and found that the design of the D-80 was almost finished, so he asked Dongfang New Energy to wait for the D-80.

Because for China, this new type of reactor is obviously more efficient, and the construction of three units in a nuclear power plant can provide strong power support for a large area, which is simpler and more efficient in management and maintenance.

Dongfang New Energy's application was quickly approved, and soon they started to build the first D-80 unit in a place in eastern China, so that the new Dongfang Nuclear Energy Company set a new record in the history of nuclear energy development in the world, and one reactor type has three reactors with different capacities at the same time to build a commercial experimental reactor.

Of course, all this is a coincidence, and others simply cannot successfully replicate it. Isn't it true that no country is willing to allow a company to build a new capacity commercial experimental reactor without the success of a small-scale reactor, and even if it does, no company will be able to build three nuclear reactors of different capacities in a year or so.

The design and verification of a nuclear power plant is a very complex project, and it is thankful that it will take one or two decades for the average international nuclear power research institute to launch a new reactor type, let alone develop several reactor types of different powers in a year.

The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) approved the construction plans of Dongfang New Energy's three Lotus Reactor D-80 units, as well as the construction plans of Nanfang Nuclear Power's four D-80 units and China Nuclear Power's four D-80 units.

Suddenly, the Duke Lotus reactor won a large order to build 11 sets of D-80 units in China, so that the expansion work of Dongfang Nuclear Power is in full swing, and after some bargaining, the construction cost of the first round of Lotus reactor D-80 units was framed at 2,500 US dollars, which is at least 20 percent lower than the price of the so-called third-generation reactor, which is the most advanced in the world. And the cost of the production and construction of domestic nuclear power equipment should be lower.

They intentionally or unintentionally ignored the fact that the uranium utilization efficiency of the Lotus reactor is several times higher than that of similar foreign power stations.

Fortunately, the production cost of the lotus pile is indeed not too high, Cai Siqiang and Liu Jianji discussed it several times, and still accepted the quotation plan from the overall situation, but this is only limited to the domestic market, and the international market will not be less than 3500 US dollars per kilowatt.

When the lotus pile blooms in a large area in China and its safety is verified, it will not be too big a matter to break into the international market, especially for Europe, which needs more secure energy.

After Duke was done with this, it was National Day, and he gave himself a big vacation at home this time, and he didn't do anything, just played with his family.

On this day, he was teasing his son, and the newborn child could only babble a little bit to answer his father.

Suddenly Duke's phone rang, and at this time, who would call? Duke is a little strange, it stands to reason that even the closer buddies know that they are on vacation, and they won't make any calls when they are free.

Duke glanced at the phone number, it was very unfamiliar, or with a foreign area code, it looked like it should be an international call.

This is even more bizarre, although Duke companies have many foreign branches and tens of thousands of overseas employees, but usually these employees are not high enough to talk directly to Duke.

Don't it be a scammer call, Duke answered the phone with a little suspicion and a little curiosity.

An English greeting with a thick Nordic accent came from the phone, "Is that Dr. Duke, please?" I am the sea of the Nobel Foundation. Kensten. ”

"I'm Duke, what's the matter with you?" Duke didn't react at first when he heard it, but in an instant he heard the key point of the Nobel Foundation, which was difficult ......?

"Hello, Dr. Duke, it is my great honor to inform you that you and Professor Andrew have been honored with this year's Physics Category after a rigorous selection by the Nobel Prize Selection Committee, congratulations!"

Sure enough, even if Duke's psychological quality is now very strong, he still can't help but feel excited when he hears this news, this is the highest honor that a scientist on earth can receive! Although the Turing Award is claimed to be the Nobel Prize in the computer industry, it is not a Nobel Prize after all, and there is still a huge difference between the two in the world's scientific and technological circles.

"Thank you!" Although Duke's heart was agitated, he still reacted quickly.

"If it is convenient, we kindly invite you to join Professor Andrew at the Nobel Prize Ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, at 4:30 p.m. on December 10." Sea. Kensten invited enthusiastically.

"Thank you, I will seriously consider your invitation." Duke didn't dare to agree this time, and this matter still needs to be discussed with everyone. However, Duke still very much hopes to have the opportunity to attend, you know, there are not many Chinese who can get Nobel Prize scientists, and local scientists from Chinese mainland, Duke is still the first, this is a historic moment!

If possible, Duke did not want to be absent from such a historic event.

"Okay, Dr. Duke, duke@ your email address (to the apex.) Feel free to contact me at any time with my contact details and look forward to your trip to Stockholm. ”
