Chapter 308: Pressure

"I heard you're going to build a factory in the Maldives?" Duke, who had just returned to Rongcheng, was caught by Qin Tairan, who had been waiting for a long time. Duke suddenly decided to open a factory with unknown production purposes overseas, and Qin Tairan, who received the news, couldn't help but be nervous.

Keeping an eye on Duke's every move and trying to guide Duke to master the transfer and application of technology are the two most important tasks for Qin Tairan.

"Yes, we are going to build a processing plant there so that it can be easily exported." Duke replied. Sooner or later, this matter will have to be said, and since Qin Tairan has come to the door, it is just right to say it together. Of course, it can't be the most real situation, but there are true and false to be more credible.

Extracting nuclear material from seawater is crucial, something Duke would never say anyway.

"What are you going to produce there?" When Qin Tairan heard Duke's words, it didn't seem right, what else is there in China that is not easy to export now? Unless it is some very advanced products that affect the national economy and people's livelihood, it is rare that Duke is ready to transfer the advanced CNC machine tools developed now to this production?

"Brother Qin, let's put it this way" Since Duke decided to have a small showdown, he is not afraid to speak more thoroughly, "We are now preparing to develop a new generation of nuclear power plants, and the experimental reactor currently under construction is a preliminary verification, and you also know that I have some experience in nuclear reaction research, and this experimental reactor is actually the realization of the theoretical basis I proposed."

To be honest, I am very optimistic about the prospects of nuclear energy, after all, now that the earth's fossil energy is depleted, the future will inevitably open up new energy channels, in my opinion, whether it is solar, wind or other bioenergy, is not as economical and realistic as nuclear energy.

So this industry is the industry that makes a lot of money in the future, and now I have a little research in this area, and I can simulate the realization of nuclear reactions at natural concentrations in the laboratory, and if this thing can be verified in experimental reactors, it will immediately become the basis for a new generation of nuclear power plants, and you can be regarded as having been engaged in nuclear reactions for a while, and you must know that the most important thing in nuclear power plants now is safety, followed by economy.

If my experimental reactor can succeed, then we can get a perfect answer to both aspects, because the nuclear reaction at the natural concentration is completely controllable, and even if anything goes wrong with this concentration of uranium, it will not be too much of a problem, just like the natural nuclear reaction that occurs in nature, it has basically no impact on the surrounding area, so it can be fully guaranteed in terms of safety.

In addition, in terms of efficiency, according to my design, the use rate of uranium can exceed 40 percent, which is dozens of times higher than that of the current mainstream nuclear power plants, and more importantly, because the safety of the core part is controllable, the construction cost of the entire nuclear power plant will be greatly reduced, and I initially estimate that the construction cost per kilowatt will be less than 1,000 US dollars. ”

The more Qin Tairan listened, the more surprised he became, Duke seems to be more important than CNC machine tools, and it is a golden key to solve the domestic energy gap.

Although Qin Tairan now listens to Duke as if it were science fiction, Qin Tairan, who has seen all kinds of magic of Duke, does not dare to take Duke's words as child's play.

"Duke, this thing you said is too important" Qin Tairan swallowed subconsciously and woke up from shock. "I think this thing is very inappropriate to be produced outside, you know, this thing is also very needed in China, and it is too risky for you to put it in the Maldives to produce, in case the local government collects your production base outside that day and takes away this achievement, we will lose too much."

"I suggest you still put it in domestic production. As for this production license issue, "Qin Tairan scratched his head with a headache, he now knows more about this research, of course he knows that this is not a place that private enterprises can touch, even the peripheral accessories are very strictly controlled, so far the country is just talking about little, most of them are still nuclear power pumps, bearing pads, auxiliary machine shells, medium pressure separators and other spare parts casting.

Like Duke, if you want to produce core main equipment, it is still a forbidden area of policy, and only the three major state-owned enterprises in China, such as Dongfang Electric Group, Shanghai Electric Group and Harbin Power Plant Equipment Group, have this qualification, and it is completely forbidden for private enterprises.

"I'm going to try to use a joint venture to run this business together." Qin Tairan said uncertainly. He really can't be the master, although the authority given to him from above is not low, but something like this to change the national policy and guidelines, Qin Tairan said that it doesn't count.

Duke didn't think about it so much, anyway, he didn't plan to produce it domestically, and the production in the Maldives was all parts, and without the assembly process diagram of Kerry in his mind, it would be useless for anyone to take those things, so he didn't think about what would happen if he let others get this thing? In his opinion, without assembly process drawings and spare parts, it is a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

But Qin Tairan didn't dare to look at it like this, the last time the research and development progress of machine tools and special steel, it is said that several military bigwigs have held special meetings to study, and the construction cost of Duke's new nuclear power plant per kilowatt will be less than 1,000 US dollars, which is much lower than the domestic nuclear power construction cost that Qin Tairan understands.

Among the nuclear power plants that have been built in China, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant costs about US$2,236 per kilowatt, the Lingao Nuclear Power Plant costs US$1,838/kilowatt, and the Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant is an independent intellectual property right that is introduced, and the cost is US$1,400/kilowatt.

China is expected to invest 750 billion yuan in nuclear power, according to the cost difference said by Duke, this is often saving hundreds of billions of investment. With such a big interest involved, Qin Tairan had to be cautious.

When Duke heard Qin Tairan say this, he was a little surprised that he might still have the opportunity to enter the domestic nuclear power producer industry. Qin Tairan's ability Duke has also seen a lot, and he used to do what he said he would, and the big man standing behind him was really bullish, maybe he really had a chance to get a license to engage in nuclear power in an open and honest manner?

"If I can do it in China, of course I am willing to put it in China" Duke is of course willing to find a big man to rely on Taishan, and he can do it in the name of the state, even if there is an economic loss, it doesn't matter, "The key is that the state should give me a considerable degree of free decision-making power in production and sales." ”

Duke put forward his own conditions, and the right to complete freedom is not to be considered. To be honest, this condition is not excessive, this is his own intellectual property rights, and many of Uncle Sam's military industrial enterprises are not directly controlled by the state, but are subject to some degree of state control.

It can be said that Qin Tairan's suspension of Duke's project in the Maldives is putting pressure on Duke, but Duke's Maldives project is not a heavy pressure on Qin Tairan and the big people behind him.
