Chapter 344: Announcing Major News

At 9:00 a.m. on March 16, the Spark Space Shuttle returned to Earth with its cargo.

These items are high-purity helium-3 and lunar rock specimens, raw materials for controlled nuclear fusion reactors.

Zhou Yu waited for the return of the space shuttle at the Spark Space Launch Center.

Not only the senior management of Xinghuo Technology came here, but also the authoritative media in China.

Zhou Yu stood in front of the camera and said solemnly: "We held a press conference today, and we have an important thing to announce.

Xinghuo Technology astronauts Cheng Yuhua and Wei Ziping have completed the manned lunar landing project on the space shuttle manufactured by Xinghuo Technology. ”

When the media reporters present heard the news, their eyes immediately widened, and their faces showed disbelief.

After being silent for a while, a reporter immediately asked loudly: "May I ask Chairman Zhou, why didn't you announce the news of the manned moon landing in advance?"

Zhou Yu smiled and spread his hands to explain: "Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and we think that landing on the moon is just a small problem."

The space shuttle produced by our company flies from the earth to the moon, which is only as simple as a passenger plane flying from Yanjing to Shanghai.

For such a simple matter, don't make a lot of noise.

Today we have a press conference, and I just announced the news in advance, and it is not the point at all. ”

When the media reporters heard Zhou Yu's words, their eyes lit up.

The manned landing on the moon is not the key news, so today's announcement will definitely be more sensational than the manned landing on the moon.

At that moment, there was a rumbling sonic boom in the sky.

Zhou Yu pointed to the sky and said, "Our hero has returned, and the space shuttle is about to land."

When the media reporters heard the news, they immediately turned their cameras to the space shuttle.

The huge space shuttle slowly landed on the square, the door of the space shuttle opened, and astronauts Cheng Yuhua and Wei Ziping walked out of it.

Their pace was very steady, and they did not experience a half-month space trip at all.

Media reporters immediately gathered around, cameramen kept taking pictures, and reporters wanted to come forward to interview.

The staff of Xinghuo Technology immediately stopped the reporter's action.

"We're going to do a physical exam on the astronauts, and we're going to hold a press conference when they're resting, and you're interviewing them at that time."

Astronauts Cheng Yuhua and Wei Ziping left here directly under the guidance of the staff.

The intelligent robots inside the space shuttle began to constantly transport things outside.

The intelligent robot walked out holding a huge rock. The stone is tightly wrapped in plastic film.

Zhou Yu introduced: "These are all lunar rock specimens collected by our astronauts on the moon.

In order to let scientists have a clearer understanding of the earth, we at Xinghuo Technology decided to donate a part of the lunar rock specimens to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Moon Museum. ”

On behalf of Xinghuo Technology, Lu Jinming immediately completed the handover ceremony of rock specimens with relevant units.

The media reporters recorded this momentous moment, but they had great doubts in their minds.

Donating lunar rock specimens is a trivial matter like a manned landing on the moon, and the big thing that Xinghuo Technology is talking about shouldn't be this thing, right?

Another intelligent robot walked out of the space shuttle, and four intelligent robots carried a large cylinder.

Zhou Yu walked to the side of the big cylinder and patted the big cylinder excitedly.

"What's in here, that's what we're going to announce today.

He was the main purpose of our manned landing on the moon, high-purity helium-3 purified from lunar soil.

What helium-3 does, I think everyone can clearly understand.

That's right, we at Xinghuo Technology have made a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology.

Now that the construction of the controllable nuclear fusion reactor has entered the final stage, we at Xinghuo Technology will start the controlled nuclear fusion reactor in the near future.

Nuclear fusion, which uses helium-3 as a raw material, does not produce neutrons, so it is not radioactive.

It is a clean and safe nuclear reactor that can provide us with a constant supply of energy.

We no longer need to use fossil fuels to destroy the planet's environment. ”

Zhou Yu announced this hardcore news and immediately calmed the audience.

The media reporters present did not expect that the thing that Xinghuo Technology was going to announce was a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology.

The CCTV reporter couldn't believe it, and stated again: "May I ask Chairman Zhou, your Xinghuo Technology has indeed developed a controllable nuclear fusion technology."

It is an artificially controllable nuclear fusion technology that can generate electricity. and clean nuclear fusion power generation technology using helium-3 as an energy source. ”

Zhou Yu replied calmly: "We Xinghuo Technology have built a controllable nuclear fusion power station in Nanyu Province.

If you want to know about it, you can also go to the site of a controlled fusion power plant. ”

When the media reporters saw such a major announcement, of course they would not let go of this opportunity and immediately requested an interview with Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu agreed to their request for an interview, which was also an advance promotion for controlled nuclear fusion.

The Global Times reporter asked: "May I ask Chairman Zhou, what is the annual power generation capacity of a controllable nuclear fusion power station?"

Zhou Yu replied with a smile: "A controllable nuclear fusion power station in a normal state, it has an annual power generation capacity of 50 trillion kilowatt hours.

The controllable fusion power station we are building now is a technology verification unit, which is not as large as designed, and it has an annual power generation capacity of 20 trillion kilowatt hours.

That's as much as the world's total electricity generation 10 years ago.

Even if this controllable nuclear fusion power station is connected to the grid for power generation, and all the power stations in China are now paralyzed, it can meet the electricity needs of society. ”

A reporter from Xinhuanet asked: "Chairman Zhou, the power generation scale of the controllable nuclear fusion power station is too large.

Is it necessary to build only one controllable fusion power station, which will generate more than the total amount of electricity generated? ”

Zhou Yu replied with a serious expression: "Is it necessary to build a controllable nuclear fusion power station?" This question is well answered, and it is absolutely necessary.

Our human society has always been short of energy, and there has never been a situation where energy is overheated.

No matter how much energy is generated, we can digest it.

With the increase of the total energy supply, major changes will occur in the socially related industries.

At present, it is difficult for some energy-intensive industries to survive, because the total energy supply is insufficient, and the state will restrict the development of such industries.

Once the energy supply is sufficient, these energy-intensive industries will not be restricted.

What's more, the total energy supply in the society is sufficient, which will naturally promote the development of high-energy-consuming industries.

Scientists and engineers will develop industries that are more adaptable to the situation in society.

If you look at the situation in the United States, it is clear that an adequate supply of energy can greatly improve people's well-being.

Our country's per capita energy supply is still not sufficient.

The United States has more than 1 billion fewer people than we do, but they consume more energy than our country.

If everyone in our country wants to experience the happiness of a developed society, we need to increase the total amount of electricity generated in the country by a factor of five or six.

Building one fusion power station is simply not enough, we need to build more fusion power stations. ”
