"We can talk about the nuclear power plant, but it depends on your sincerity."
Without thinking, Chen Chen replied, "The "CUERB Project" is an epoch-making technology jointly developed by us and four continents. It has indeed met the requirements for commercial power generation, but you must pay a high enough price."
“Selling electricity to us and us paying for it, isn’t that enough?”
Zurama was immediately stunned. After all, this was how Chen Chen operated when he first came to Namibia eight years ago.
"Of course it's different. It seems that President Zulama and Congress are still a little confused about the situation..."
Chen Chen suddenly stretched out five fingers, retracted one at the same time, and chuckled, "First, nuclear fusion is a new technology, and the power generation efficiency is different from that of traditional thermal power plants and nuclear fission power plants. If traditional thermal power generation The efficiency of the station is 1, the efficiency of the nuclear fission power station is 2, then the efficiency of the nuclear fusion power station is 10 or even 100! What follows is that the power station occupies a smaller area and has a higher utilization rate!"
"Second," Chen Chen retracted his second finger, "the new reactor will abandon the traditional fuel uranium and instead use deuterium (dao) and helium-3 to undergo a thermonuclear reaction. This reaction will only generate protons without radiation, so It does not produce any radiation, it is a completely clean energy source and does not cause any harm to the environment."
As he spoke, Chen Chen continued to retract his third finger, "Thirdly, thermonuclear reactions must be carried out in a state of ultra-high pressure and ultra-high vacuum. Once any accident occurs, the reaction will terminate within 0.01 seconds. The safety factor is far higher than that of nuclear fission. There is absolutely no risk of loss of control in power stations and traditional thermal power stations!”
"Fourth, the mining of helium-3 resources is expensive. After all, there is almost none on the earth. It can only be obtained from the moon. Currently, only our Blackwatch Company and Four Continents have the ability to mine it. Even if we want to sell it cheaper , the four continents will not agree."
"Fifth, in the next ten years, the first task of the four continents is to upgrade their local power stations. All traditional thermal power and nuclear fission power stations will be eliminated within ten years. What does this mean? It means that within ten years , it is difficult for other continents and countries to obtain the first batch of construction. Even if it is built in the future, it will be ten years later... "
At this point, Chen Chen had already retracted all his fingers. He sighed, "To sum up, nuclear fusion power plants, as a cross-era technology, will be extremely cherished in ten years. Which country can obtain it in advance is equivalent to After gaining ten years of advantage, this is why Namibia needs to pay more. If you don't do this, I'm afraid all four continents will be dissatisfied with our Blackwatch company."
Listening to Chen Chen's endless reasons, Zurama suddenly fell silent.
"Actually, you don't have to be like this."
Seeing Zulama's silence, Chen Chen suddenly showed a strange chuckle. He persuaded, "Namibia is vast and sparsely populated, and the demand for electricity is not large. Even if you wait for ten years, it will be fine. You can even buy electricity from your neighbors." Yes, because once that time comes, electricity will become the least valuable thing in the world... "
"The least valuable thing?"
Zurama was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chen Chen inexplicably, "Is this really possible?"
"certainly."
Chen Chen stood up suddenly. He walked around the office and took a deep breath. "Mr. President, I can help you think about it. You should know about wireless charging technology, right?"
Chen Chen asked, and when Zurama nodded, he continued, "In fact, wireless charging technology had been invented as early as the end of the 19th century, and its original inventor was the famous physicist Nikola Tesla. , and this technology, to put it bluntly, is actually a high-energy amplified version of electromagnetic waves for wireless communication. However, in this case, the energy will be seriously dissipated in the form of electromagnetic waves."
"But for humans who own nuclear fusion power stations, this dissipation does not matter at all. Therefore, once nuclear fusion power stations become popular, humans will apply wireless charging technology on a large scale, and even this equipment will be used as a free Resources are flooding the entire city… ”
As he spoke, Chen Chen took a deep breath, opened his arms, and said with a longing expression, "Can you imagine that in the not-too-distant future, human society will be filled with devices using wireless charging technology, and mobile phones will no longer need to be charged. Cars no longer need to be refueled, and even aircraft...all means of transportation are powered by ubiquitous electricity."
“The streets are filled with 3D traffic lights using the void as a carrier, and the sky is filled with beautiful pictures filled with holographic images. Everything is driven by electricity, which is as ubiquitous as air! "
"And because everything is driven by clean electricity, there will no longer be fossil fuels as energy, and there will be no so-called pollution and carbon emissions. The human living environment will return to before the industrial revolution..."
Hearing what Chen Chen described, Zurama secretly smiled bitterly. If it is true as Chen Chen said, then it is not about waiting ten years, but that the sooner we have a nuclear fusion power station, the better. Only in this way can we be better. If we cater to the world as early as possible, the development of these ten years will be a rare opportunity for development.
At this time, Zurama also fully understood that Chen Chen was tempting him. All he said was to retreat in order to force himself to pay more. However, the information revealed by the other party was so shocking that he could not find any way to refuse. reasons.
Thinking of this, Zurama sighed deeply. He finally made up his mind, raised his head and said, "Chen Chen, I understand your good intentions, but I have made up my mind to build Namibia into an electric power country in advance. You said Well, what do I have to pay to do all this?”
Chen Chen then showed a helpless look. He looked at Zurama, "Mr. President, if you have made up your mind, then I won't be polite. Now the three-year tax holiday has passed, and the five-year half tax holiday has also passed. I won’t take advantage of others, so please extend this tax holiday for a few more years.”
"several years?"
Zurama asked in a low voice.
"Let's extend it permanently."
Chen Chen replied without thinking, with a smile on his face, "My request is not too much, right?"
"you… "
Zurama opened his mouth. He first showed an angry look and wanted to stand up, but his expression changed in the next second. He sat slumped on the chair and gritted his teeth and said, "Is this request a little too outrageous?"
"Outrageous?"
Chen Chen spread his hands and asked calmly, "No, I think it's not outrageous at all. After all, you have to understand why Namibia can become the country with the highest per capita income in Africa."
"But Congress will not agree to this..."
Zurama was still a little unwilling, and he said with a difficult expression, "Even if you control most of the Congress, it will be the same... and even I will bear eternal infamy!"
"No, they will definitely agree."
Chen Chen chuckled and said, "President Zurama, you need to take a longer-term view. Do you think it is enough for Namibia to become the most developed country in Africa? If you want to continue to develop, what must you give up? Have you ever thought about it? However, once we have ten years of opportunity, where can Namibia reach? Have you ever thought that Namibia can one day become the most powerful country among the four continents?"
The moment he heard these words, Zurama felt a shock all over his body. He looked at Chen Chen in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Really... okay?"
"I never promised anything."
But Chen Chen shook his head. He put away his smile and looked at the other party expressionlessly, "We at Blackwatch are not interested in politics. What you want to ask is not me, but yourself..."
"I'm just giving you a chance to continue to be strong."
Upon hearing these words, Zurama fell completely silent.
Half an hour later, Zurama left Chen Chen's office secretly and left the Black Light Building just as he had come.
Seeing the other party leave, Chen Chen sat back on his chair and showed a secretive smile.
"Your Excellency, Godfather, is this necessary?"
Little
"no way… "
The chair under Chen Chen automatically turned around, facing Little
"Actually, I have long planned to implement nuclear fusion power plants in Namibia first. The tax exemption is just an excuse. After all, the stronger Namibia is, the more beneficial it will be to the development of our black light technology, isn't it?"
"oh!"
Little
Chen Chen nodded, stood up again, and faced the floor-to-ceiling window, "That's it. Since a nuclear fusion power station will be built sooner or later, why not make a big deal?"
As he spoke, he looked out the floor-to-ceiling window and at the skyline of Life Sciences City stretching into the distance. "I have already planned to build Life Sciences City into the world's first super city with unlimited electricity. At the same time, I will make plans." A set of future rules that only belong to us. Only in this way can we get this new opportunity again!"
"After all, only those who make the rules will be the ones who benefit the most."
"X, start preparing. Tell the Electronic Technology Research Department that they can start a new project. We want to build the world's first driverless car that can receive electricity while minimizing losses. We must seize the opportunity to apply for patents for electromagnetic induction technology, as well as various technologies that may emerge after cities gain unlimited power. Do you understand?"
"clear."
Little X nodded and smiled excitedly, "I have asked the Electronic Technology Department to prepare for this day for a long time."
…
Soon, just a few hours later, the Life Sciences City issued a new decision.
This decision was sent to all residents living in Life Sciences City and tourists visiting here by means of text messages, website announcements, and various information apps pushing simultaneously.
"Announcement: Dear ladies and gentlemen, this is the Life Science City Autonomous Committee. After more than a month of research and discussion by the committee, as well as the strategic instructions of Blacklight Technology, in the next few years, the Life Science City will experience A major transformation that spans the ages. If it causes inconvenience to your life and play, we ask for your understanding. If you have any questions, please send text message XXXXX to inquire, or log on to the official website of Blacklight Technology and call us to tell us... "
As soon as this news was sent out, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of curious people, including on the Internet. A large number of people began to discuss what kind of major transformation this life science city built in Africa, known as the Pearl of Africa, would undergo. , it actually takes several years.
Many experts and professors in the scientific community have logged into their official accounts registered at Blacklight Technology and expressed their opinions on technology forums.
As more and more people participated in the discussion, they gradually came up with some ideas—
Heart-rending: [Life Science City is the most technologically advanced city in the world, and it is also the youngest city. This city was established only six years ago. From tens of thousands of people at the beginning to over one million people now, it is a development miracle! The reason why such a city can reach such a height is inseparable from the world's leading life science and technology and biomedical treatment. Therefore, the life science city will inevitably continue to improve and maintain this unique development trajectory...]
Attack丶: [I dare to swear that all this is definitely related to the recently completed "CUERB" project. Otherwise, why would Blacklight Technology announce a major renovation of the Life Sciences City within a month of the completion of the "CUERB" project?]
Burlkheart: [Needless to say, everyone can think of it!]
Memorial.: [So, this transformation must be related to nuclear fusion? However, I still have a doubt. If we just build nuclear fusion reactors, we only need to build a few nuclear fusion power stations in the suburbs. Why do we need to carry out renovations in the city?]
Infatuation: [You are short-sighted upstairs. First of all, you have to understand what the nuclear fusion power station represents. If you can understand all this, you will understand why the Life Science City is about to undergo a major transformation...]
Memorial.: [So? The old Riddler is upstairs.]
As the Earth Federation's technology community pays more and more attention to this matter, in the next few days, a new statement released by Blacklight Technology's website has made everyone more convinced of their guesses, that is, Blacklight Technology will get involved in the transportation field and electromagnetic field. Build your own new energy vehicle.
As soon as this news came out, the world was in an uproar.
