Most people have a misconception that nuclear power is cheaper than most forms of electricity generation.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
According to the survey results of the US-based Bloomberg New Energy Financial Consulting Company, the global power generation cost of nuclear power plants averages 14 cents per kilowatt-hour, approximately RMB 0.85, which is almost the same as the cost of solar power generation. Compared with the 8.2 cents cost of land-based wind power generation and high-efficiency natural gas power generation, the cost of nuclear power is much higher, and even slightly higher than thermal power generation using coal, natural gas, and oil as the main fuel.
Nuclear power can alleviate electricity shortages, but it cannot effectively reduce electricity prices. In particular, nuclear power plant safety issues have attracted increasing media attention. In order to prevent serious nuclear accidents such as core meltdowns, nuclear power plants have to spend more budget on safety maintenance, so that the cost of power generation has been increasing. Unless the scale of nuclear power plants is increased, it is possible to reduce their not-so-cheap costs.
Under such a background, it is no wonder that the 0.05 ringgit offered by Jiang Chen shocked the Malay Prime Minister. Converted into RMB, 0.05 ringgit is equivalent to 8 cents. No power generation method in the world can reduce costs to this extent.
In other words, if the price of electricity is so cheap, there will be no need for other energy sources, and everyone can just use electricity.
If Razak knew the cost of the Star Ring trade, I'm afraid he would be even more shocked. A kilowatt hour of electricity costs 8 cents to sell to him, while the cost of Star Ring trade is only 1 cent at most. The proven reserves of helium 3 on the moon are as high as one million tons, and 100 tons is enough for the world to use for one year. As for the deuterium required for the reaction, it is even more abundant in the ocean. As long as the refining technology is in place, the cost is completely negligible.
In short, after hearing Jiang Chen's quotation, the Prime Minister was completely uneasy.
Controlling his rapid breathing, he was silent for a moment and then spoke.
“Can’t that nuclear power plant be built in our country?”
Razak has made up his mind that even if the entire Malaysian parliament votes against the nuclear power project, he will have to persuade those members one by one to nod to the project. This is so important to Malaysia! Not only is it related to people’s living costs, electricity prices directly affect industrial production costs. If electricity prices can be reduced, more international companies will come to build factories and invest!
Moreover, the financial subsidies made by the Malay government on electricity bills every year can also be completely removed, and this considerable budget can be moved to education, medical and other fields.
But Jiang Chen shook his head.
"It makes no sense to build a nuclear power plant in your country. The energy required by the nuclear power plant requires a mineral from the moon. This mineral is not very convenient to transport... In short, there are far more benefits to building this nuclear power plant in space than building it on the surface. What's more, in space, we don't need to worry about nuclear leakage at all."
Jiang Chen's words made Razak fall into silence again.
On the one hand, he was attracted by Jiang Chen's offer, but on the other hand, he was worried that it might force the local power generation companies in Malay to go bankrupt, making it impossible for Malay to get rid of the cheap electricity from Xinghuan Trade.
Jiang Chen was not in a hurry, he responded immediately, leaned back on the chair leisurely, picked up the tea and took a sip.
The black tea was already quite warm at this time. While sipping the tea leisurely, Jiang Chen quietly waited for Razak's reply.
It is best to get a satisfactory answer from the Prime Minister. If not, he can only spend some time contacting Malaysian parliamentarians and politicians, and offer enough benefits to force the Prime Minister to compromise on the power grid issue.
In addition, with the two major media tools of Future Man 1.0 and virtual reality network, he can use many methods. We only need to let the Malay people know that they originally hoped to use electricity priced at 0.05 ringgit, but due to the py transaction between the Prime Minister and other "shady businessmen", cheap electricity cannot enter the domestic market...
Jiang Chen looked at Razak quietly, waiting for him to make a decision.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the Prime Minister relaxed and spoke.
"It is no problem to build submarine cables, and it is no problem to connect the Malaysian power grid from the New Mat area, but in the first year we are willing to import 26-30 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from you. For specific cooperation plans, the National Electricity Administration and TNB Power Company will Talk to you.”
26 billion hours, equivalent to 10% of Malaysia’s annual electricity consumption. Based on the export price of 0.05 ringgit, the Malaysian power grid operating unit will pay Xinghuan Trading 1.3 billion ringgit in foreign exchange per year, equivalent to 2 billion yuan.
As for TNB, it is a power giant in Malaysia, and they basically manage the power grid. Jiang Chen believed that they had no reason to refuse this electricity export agreement, which was so lucrative that it was so coveted.
Jiang Chen believed that in less than a year, TNB would shut down several high-emission power stations with excuses, and then come to them and ask for more sales.
Electricity worth 0.05 ringgit can be resold for 0.1 ringgit. If you don't make money, can you still be called a capitalist
He left the Prime Minister's Office with satisfaction. Xinghuan Trading's Malay Branch had sent a special car waiting at the door. After Jiang Chen got in the car, he asked the driver to take him to Kuala Lumpur and stopped at a Hilton in Kuala Lumpur city. Hotel entrance.
Because he still had to negotiate specific contracts for submarine cables and exported electricity with the National Electricity Administration and TNB Power Company, he had to temporarily change his plan for a day trip and chose to stay in Malay for one more day.
He walked straight to the hotel counter, and when he took out the black diamond card Nassetta gave him, the hotel manager immediately made a presidential suite for him and respectfully sent him to the door of the room.
After checking into the room, Jiang Chen took off his formal clothes, took a shower, put on casual clothes, and sat on the sofa in the living room.
After opening a bottle of red wine and turning on the home theater, Jiang Chen held the remote control and randomly selected a movie that he had never seen before.
Guns and plasma are always the themes of Hollywood action blockbusters, and they are also the most eye-catching part of the audience. Jiang Chen's favorite movies on weekdays are these kind of movies.
Without explosions, can it still be called a Hollywood blockbuster
After watching it for about thirty or forty minutes, the film reached its climax, and a gun battle between police and criminals was taking place on the screen. Jiang Chen was staring at the screen attentively, enjoying himself, when an alarm bell rang in his ears.
Alarm bell
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and looked out the window.
The alarm bell didn't seem to come from the home theater stereo, but from the street downstairs outside the window.
"What happened outside? There must be at least six or seven police cars with such a variety of alarm bells."
Out of curiosity, Jiang Chen picked up the remote control to pause the movie, walked to the window and looked out. I saw a shopping mall building half a street away. A row of police cars flashing red and blue lights blocked the entrance to the shopping mall.
Jiang Chen's expression was a little strange.
What a coincidence. I was watching a police movie just now, and there was a confrontation between police and robbers outside -
