Looking at Director Lu with a complicated expression, the old man smiled and asked, "How was it? How did you feel after reading it?"
Although he still had some doubts about what was stated in the letter, his doubts were no longer important now.
As he expected, this letter was related to the incident in Jinling.
After hearing these words, Director Lu looked slightly moved and immediately said respectfully.
"I have a letter here, take it and read it."
Of course, the price of opening this door is bound to be high.
"Four-three billion RMB... Professor Lu can really spend money for us."
Director Lu answered truthfully: "Judging from the timetable, they plan to start building a demonstration reactor in 2025... However, the conditions are not yet mature in all aspects. Now it seems that it may have to be postponed."
If this is really possible, they really need to develop this technology at all costs.
China is a major energy consumer, and its annual consumption of coal and oil is measured in billions of tons. In particular, the total amount of coal consumption accounts for almost one-half of the world's total coal consumption!
Otherwise, the word energy conservation and emission reduction would not be mentioned repeatedly at every conference.
"You're looking for me?"
The decision is up to you as to whether to turn it on or not.
The birth of this energy will completely change the energy structure of modern society, and will also completely change the production and lifestyle of our society... and even everything we know.
Theoretically, the complete reaction of 1 kilogram of deuterium and tritium mixture can release 108 million kilowatt-hours of energy. According to a 35% ratio, it can produce 37.8 million kilowatt-hours of electrical energy.
"It's a bit too far-fetched," the old man nodded, and after a moment's pause, he said, "But I think it's worth a try."
Thinking about it, there are only a few people in the country who can send letters directly here.
A major project worth more than 40 billion cannot be decided casually by one person. And now that the Lord's tone is so relaxed, it is obvious that this proposal has been unanimously recognized by the Elders' House.
Suddenly thinking of something, the old man sitting behind the desk asked.
This research result makes me foresee that in the not too distant future, deuterium resources will become a new and important energy source for our utilization. This energy is more efficient, cleaner, and closer to the "essence" than any energy source we are familiar with.
This comparison shows the difference.
A mysterious place within the first ring road.
…
Even if this power station operates 24 hours a day, if it wants to complete the power generation target of 580.79 billion kilowatt hours within a year, it will need at least 66,300MW of power!
After all, it was Professor Lu who boasted about this.
Leaving aside the tritium that can be retained as an intermediate product, the cost of one kilogram of deuterium, which is the main consumption, is less than 4,000 yuan. And with the expansion of production scale, there is still extremely broad room for reduction in costs.
Since even the top management agreed, there was only one thing he needed to do now.
If it is true, as Professor Lu said in his letter, that only 167 tons of deuterium and tritium mixtures can meet China's annual electricity needs, then with the widespread application of fusion energy, China's future energy expenditures may even increase. Less than a fraction of what it is now!
It's quite tempting if you think about it...
Without hesitation, Director Lu stepped forward and picked up the letter from the table.
"By the way, how is the project of the International Controlled Nuclear Fusion Energy Program Execution Center going?"
And it's not just about money.
Without turning to the following content for the time being, Director Lu's eyebrows twitched fiercely after reading the first page.
[Your Excellency.
]
From subsidies for the new energy industry to the "quota targets" for the minimum renewable energy power consumption stipulated in the "Renewable Electric Power Quota Assessment Measures" for each provincial administrative region, regardless of the implementation of the policy at the local level, the state's The determination to develop clean energy has always been unquestionable.
Director Lu: "... After all, scientific research cannot be rushed."
"That's what you said. Slow work will produce fine work." The old man nodded and continued, "Then let them study it slowly first. Since they are not in a hurry to use money for the time being, let's start with their funds. Just move some of it out."
What is the concept of 66300MW power generation
Although he had contacted Lu Zhou several times before, he had never known that Professor Lu was also involved in engineering, and this plan was quite decent.
The further he looked back, the more serious the expression on his face became.
Standing at the door of the office, Director Lu took a deep breath, reached out and knocked gently on the door.
Based on these obvious data, we can see through a simple calculation that the cost of nuclear fusion power generation will be less than one thousandth of the cost of traditional thermal power, or even lower.
I believe you have heard that in the latest experiment at STAR Research Institute, our researchers have successfully extended the magnetic confinement time to more than 60 minutes.
However…
If someone else had put this plan on his desk, he would have slapped it in his face without saying a word.
Read this plan from beginning to end.
The total installed capacity of Three Gorges is only 22,000MW, and the six units in Daya Bay add up to about 6,000MW.
The old man shook his head: "Too slow."
Looking at the head of the Energy Bureau standing at the door of the office, the old man smiled lightly and said.
Putting down the letter in his hand, Director Lu shook his head with a headache.
The above lists in detail Professor Lu’s estimated parameters for each component of the DEMO device, as well as his performance expectations for the completed DEMO device, etc.
"The plan is so wild and unrestrained. I don't know why he is so sure, but..." After guessing that this person was not asking for his opinion, but just asking him to express his feelings, Director Lu hesitated for a moment and said carefully, "I Admit that what he said is indeed what we need!”
Here, as a scholar, I have the obligation to remind you: We have stood at the turning point of the times, and the door to a new era is right in front of us.
That is to draw up a plan that meets all the conditions proposed by Professor Lu, and make every effort to ensure that the "DEMO Demonstration Reactor" project can be launched quickly!
It is estimated that only 167 tons of deuterium-tritium mixture is enough to meet China's annual needs.
Reasonably told Director Lu, this braggart didn’t even bother drafting anymore.
What kind of monster is this
Moreover, what is exciting is not only the economic value and political significance behind it, but also its own cleanliness.
[Assessment standards: RF negative ion source prototype extraction area is 0.45m×3.2m, RF plasma uniformity under multi-driver is better than 95%, negative ion extraction current density is not less than 300A/m2, beam intensity is greater than 20A, negative ion beam comprehensive The index reaches the energy of 200keV, and the beam stability duration reaches 60min...]
[Project goal: Complete the construction of the DEMO demonstration reactor before 2025.]
Especially the sentence in the plan, "This reactor can meet the electricity needs of the entire Jiangsu Province," sounds like bragging, and it's also far-fetched.
In other words, the power generation power of one fusion reactor alone is equivalent to three Three Gorges with full power? Eleven Daya Bay nuclear power plants
Go to Beijing.
Turning to the next page is the plan for the DEMO demonstration reactor.
After hearing "Come in", he opened the door and walked in, saying respectfully.
"I see."
As soon as he saw the title part, he thought to himself that it was indeed true.
It's better not to compare.
This kind of energy, which is efficient, cheap, abundant in reserves and produces almost no pollution, can solve almost all the problems faced by China today in the "sustainable development strategy" once and for all.
The whole letter was full of euphemistic words about how good and important the prospect of fusion energy was. However, from the crooked words, he could only see two words written throughout the letter: " Make money”.
You know, Jiangsu Province’s annual electricity consumption reaches 580.79 billion kilowatt-hours, second only to Guangdong Province’s 595.89 billion kilowatt-hours, ranking second in the country!
The letter does not end here. There is also a timetable for the commercialization of controllable fusion technology, the expected goals of the DEMO demonstration reactor, and a budget table.
