Chapter 679 Social Effects Caused by Nuclear Fusion Power Plants
"The construction of Donghai's first nuclear fusion power plant has officially begun. It is located in the western suburbs of Donghai City, less than 100 kilometers away from the city center."
"Some people worry that building a nuclear power plant so close to the city will cause serious consequences. The official department should tell the public that controllable fusion power plants are clean energy and there is no nuclear pollution problem."
Every time after Fang Zhenguo battled wits with foreign representatives, he would watch the news broadcast with a smile on his face when he returned home.
Ever since the East China Sea developed controllable nuclear fusion, there have been related news almost every day.
Either news about nuclear fusion power plants, or news about solar furnaces, or even dozens of news a day.
Newspapers are even more exaggerated. Sometimes reports on controllable nuclear fusion technology and solar furnaces can occupy more than half of the page.
"The times have changed, and the public should have a higher level of awareness. The presentation of nuclear fusion power plants really needs to be put on the agenda." After reading the first news report, Fang Zhenguo said to himself, preparing to go to the theater headquarters tomorrow. When the time comes, mention this matter to the headquarters.
Li Shuhua was born in a scholarly family, but it is more reflected in her cultural heritage. She does not understand cutting-edge basic physics such as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
However, Donghai has developed controllable nuclear fusion technology, which is already a household name.
She goes out to buy vegetables every day, and in the vegetable market, she can hear the boss selling vegetables discussing nuclear fusion power plants with others.
While she was cooking in the kitchen, she also heard the report on the TV news, and she came out and asked, "Xiaoyuan, is the nuclear fusion power plant really pollution-free? Do you want to buy some vinegar and salt? This morning, I I saw someone buying salt in boxes in the wholesale department of the market."
With tens of millions of citizens in the East China Sea, it is impossible for everyone to understand what technology nuclear fusion is like.
On the contrary, it is the several nuclear leaks that have occurred abroad that are still fresh in the public's memory.
Therefore, when the news of the construction of a nuclear fusion power plant in the East China Sea was announced, it was inevitable that there would be some worrying guys.
Ordinary people follow the characteristics blindly. One person does something stupid, and then a large group of people follow suit.
Fang Zhenguo shook his head with an expression of hating iron and steel, and said, "When the nuclear power plant leaked last time, your natal Seventh Aunt bought two carts of salt, and now she hasn't finished eating it. I met him last month and told me to fuck him." I take salt at home, do you still want to buy it?"
Fang Yuan also had nothing to do with these "cute" citizens, he spread his hands and explained: "Nuclear fusion is different from nuclear fission. Once the nuclear fission reaction starts, it cannot be stopped. Nuclear fusion is different, you can stop it if you want.
"In short, for ordinary people, the nuclear fusion power plant is no different from the Three Gorges, it is just a power plant. And the power generation is relatively large, almost ten of the Three Gorges."
Li Shuhua nodded and said: "I will believe what my son says, and next time I meet my neighbors while shopping for vegetables, I will tell them the same."
"It should be explained clearly to those who don't understand and talk nonsense. The propaganda of nuclear fusion should start from the grassroots." Fang Zhenguo commented solemnly.
Li Shuhua was about to go back to the kitchen to cook, when another piece of international news was reported on TV.
"White Eagle West Coast, a farmer held a sign on the street to protest against the abuse of controlled nuclear fusion technology by humans and the destruction of agriculture..."
When it comes to things related to daily life such as agriculture, food, and vegetables.
Li Shuhua is more concerned,
After staring at the TV for a while, he wondered, "What are these farmers protesting?"
Fang Zhenguo corrected: "You need to make it clear that the peasants mentioned by Baiying are not the same as the peasants we are talking about."
"Why not the same thing?"
"The farmers over there have an average of 2,000 mu of land. They are not farmers, but farmers."
"The question is, what is going on with nuclear fusion destroying agriculture?" Li Shuhua brought the topic back to the main topic.
Fang Yuan looked at Comrade Fang with great interest, ready to see how he would answer.
Fang Zhenguo hadn't seen the relevant reports on the news yet, so he didn't know the reason, so he said nonsense: "It's just a group of farmers talking nonsense over there."
"Xiaoyuan, tell me, mom knows you know a lot." Li Shuhua upholds the fine tradition of living to learn and learning, breaking the casserole and asking the end.
"Actually, a few days ago, a professor from the White Eagle Country wrote an article, arguing that the application of controllable nuclear fusion technology to the field of power generation will eliminate agriculture, and to be precise, it will eliminate farmers." Fang Yuan replied casually .
"What professor? Why are you so irresponsible, how can you talk such nonsense?" Li Shuhua criticized.
"It's not nonsense. In fact, the prediction in that article may indeed become a reality." Fang Yuan spread his hands.
"So, nuclear fusion power plants will really eliminate agriculture?" Li Shuhua was a little surprised.
"It can't be said that, to be precise, it will completely change the form of agriculture." Fang Yuan explained.
Li Shuhua went back to the kitchen, turned off the fire on the stove, walked back and sat on the sofa, and continued to ask: "Tell me carefully, what's going on?"
"It's easy to say. The raw materials of the nuclear fusion power station are easy to obtain, and the power generation is large. In fact, if you think about the Three Gorges, you will know that the significance of the Three Gorges is self-evident, but in fact, the power generation of the Three Gorges accounts for only 2% of the country's annual power generation. less than..."
Seeing that his mother was so concerned about this matter, Fang Yuan patiently explained to her: "Actually, our country's current power supply mainly relies on thermal power generation. The proportion of thermal power generation accounts for more than 70%.
"If only five nuclear fusion power plants are needed to build nuclear fusion power plants, then my country can eliminate all thermal power generation.
"If the number of nuclear fusion power plants reaches seven, it can provide all the electricity in the country. Imagine how terrible the power generation of nuclear fusion power plants is.
"It can be said that electricity will not cost money in the future. In this case, what will the development of agriculture be like?
"Once it develops to the point where electricity does not cost money, agriculture will no longer need large tracts of land, and directly build giant buildings with hundreds of floors, grow crops indoors, and use electricity for lighting.
"In fact, this direction of development will become inevitable in the future. Of course, by that time, the farm will disappear.
"So, when the farmers in Baiying heard the news, they started to march in the streets under the guidance of certain organizations."
Li Shuhua was still very enlightened, nodded and said: "So that's the case. Since it is the inevitable result of future development, there is nothing to worry about. Aren't these people worrying about nothing?"
"It was originally." Fang Yuan spread his hands.
Of course, in fact, Fang Yuan didn't fully explain what he said just now, and some information was left unspoken.
The last sentence "under the guidance of certain organizations" actually has another meaning.
Because the East China Sea researched the controllable nuclear fusion technology, which caused a global financial tsunami and dug out the roots of some capital and consortiums, some organizations opposed to the controllable nuclear fusion technology emerged.
