Chapter 292: Leading the World
The cheers in the main control room continued, and the engineers and researchers hugged each other to celebrate.
Standing in front of the monitoring screen, Xu Chuan had a satisfied and relieved smile on his face.
The regret that could not be made up in the previous life, thank God for giving him another chance, and finally made up in this life.
The technology of nuclear energy beta radiation energy concentration and conversion into electrical energy is just the beginning. I hope that his talents in the past and present lives can make the motherland illuminate the whole world like the scorching sun outside the window.
Beijing time, June 15, 7 pm.
In a news broadcast studio, a male and a female host are watching the press release that was delivered to them an hour ago, and hurriedly making final preparations.
Time is quite urgent, although an hour is enough for them to memorize all the lines, and there are also manuscripts and teleprompters to assist during the broadcast.
But as hosts, they must have a comprehensive understanding of the entire incident.
Of course, if it is an ordinary news broadcast, there is no need to worry so much.
But the press release delivered more than an hour ago is obviously not an ordinary event.
A few hours ago, in Qidong City, the "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion to Electric Energy Project" led by Professor Xu Chuan, an internationally renowned scholar and Nobel Prize winner, was successfully put into operation!
From today, nuclear fission power generation will become a truly pollution-free clean energy, and those terrifying nuclear wastes will also become electricity that benefits the people of the motherland.
Sitting in front of the camera, the two hosts took a deep breath at the same time, taking advantage of the last few seconds to relax their nervous emotions.
"Xiaokang, Xiaoxia, there is still one minute to start, get ready."
In the studio, the director stood behind the camera and looked at the two hosts sitting in front of the studio and directed.
The two hosts nodded at the same time, looked at the camera skillfully, and started today's broadcast with a standard smile.
"Good evening, dear audience friends. Today is June 15th. Welcome to watch the news broadcast program. First of all, I will introduce you to the main content of this program."
Just like countless times before, after the male host started, the female host on the other side took over the content smoothly.
".At noon today, under the leadership of Professor Xu Chuan, a well-known scholar in my country and winner of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal, the "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion into Electric Energy" project located in the coastal area of Qidong City, Jiangsu Province, completed the final nuclear radiation electricity conversion experiment."
As Hai Xia reported, the screen of the news broadcast also jumped.
A short video was inserted, and the shot happened to be the screen of Xu Chuan standing in the main control room announcing the start of the test.
Like a silent animation, the short film may have been muted for confidentiality. Except for the sound of announcing the start of the test in front of the main control console, there was no other sound.
But whether it was the audience sitting in front of the TV watching the news broadcast at this moment, or other people in the studio, they could feel the excitement, tension, excitement, and seriousness of these people in the main control room.
This is a silent battle!
In the studio of the news broadcast, Xiaokang, the male host sitting in front of the camera, took over the topic and continued to read in a clear and friendly voice:
"The "Nuclear Energy β Radiation Energy Concentration Conversion Electric Energy" project is a nuclear waste recycling project led by Professor Xu Chuan. Through special technical means, Professor Xu has achieved the recycling of difficult-to-handle nuclear waste, turning the originally radioactive harmful substances into electricity that enters thousands of households."
"."
"At present, the core conversion area is stable, the radiation power conversion is stable, and the current nuclear waste power station can provide about 2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, and can stably continue to generate electricity for at least 30 years"
As the news broadcast was broadcast, the inserted picture was also updated.
When the researchers in the main control room who were hugging each other excitedly cheered, the voices of the two hosts sitting in the studio also became excited.
"The wheel of history rolls forward, and the pace of the times never stops."
"My compatriots, this time, we are at the forefront of the world, opening a new chapter, ushering in a new era and a new journey."
"Although there are still new challenges and new bumps on the road ahead. But I believe that the rise of the motherland is a historical necessity! We will also move towards new victories!"
When nuclear waste is no longer a terrifying threat, when nuclear energy is completely unlocked, the shackles of the energy crisis will also be broken.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, nuclear power plants and nuclear waste power plants will bloom all over China and even the world.
When electricity is no longer scarce, industry will be liberated, and all productivity will be improved.
More importantly, when oil and coal are no longer the main way to supply power and electricity, the hand that is tightly grasped on the throat will also dissipate with the wind.
For the first time, the changes in the future were clearly and visibly reflected in the eyes of all Chinese people.
Not long after the news broadcast, Renren Daily, Xinhua Daily, Guangming Daily and many other media forwarded the news at the first time.
On the Internet, related news quickly climbed to the top of the hot search list.
Most netizens who don’t watch the news broadcasts have only realized it belatedly, and almost everyone is shocked by this amazing result.
[What the hell? Nuclear waste is reused to generate electricity? Is this true? When did our country become so awesome? ]
[Don't you see who announced it? (Laughing sideways)]
[Great, nuclear waste can be reused! ]
[Electricity of 2 billion kWh per year is not much, but it is equivalent to the electricity provided by a medium-sized or large thermal power plant, and there are at least 3,000 large thermal power plants in China! ]
[It is indeed not a lot, but the most important thing is that it can handle nuclear waste, that is, nuclear power plants can be built in large quantities in the future! Nuclear power plants are the key to power generation! ]
[Wait, I seem to see the figure of Chuan Shen? ]
[Young man, remove the word "seemingly", the host said that this project was led by Chuan Shen! From theory to design to manufacturing, Chuan Shen did it. ]
[Nick, isn't he a mathematician? ]
[Yes, but no one has ever said that Chuan Shen can't do something else part-time ((〃'▽'〃))]
[Doing something else means becoming a master in the astronomy world and solving the lithium dendrite problem and nuclear waste problem that have not been solved by the whole world? 】
【The key is where did he get the time? He just solved the lithium dendrite problem not long ago, and earlier he proved the interim results of the NS equation. If I remember correctly, he only came back in the second half of last year, right? 】
【Come on! Come on! I remember that Chuan Shen seemed to be 22 years old this year, right? He has reached the legal age for marriage! 】
The hot discussion on the Internet quickly swept most of the platforms.
In addition to most of the praise, many people also raised doubts.
【Reusing nuclear waste to generate electricity? Are you kidding? This thing should be learned from the United States. Build a storage facility deep underground. Five hundred tons. If it leaks, let alone Qidong, it is estimated that the Magic City will suffer! 】
【So Su Jiang’s seafood will not be available in the future? 】
【Why don’t you get out of here, the one who worships your father so much? You are a dog who worships foreigners! You have no confidence in your own country! 】
【Is there anything wrong with just expressing my concerns? And nuclear waste is indeed very dangerous. What if Qidong becomes the next Fukushima? 】
【Oh, the country wouldn't think of it? Would the God of Sichuan not consider it? You are the only one who can do it, right? 】
【This is a necessary question! 】
【Questioning you, idiot, you are a fool. You didn't watch the news broadcast and the report carefully. It clearly stated that there is no harm or nuclear leakage in the vicinity! 】
【Anyway, I prefer to believe in the motherland and our scientists! 】
No matter when, there are always discordant voices, questioning this and that.
They seem to be born for opposition and argument.
Of course, these remarks have never been mainstream, and they will never become mainstream.
Science should indeed maintain the most rigorous attitude, but it is always worthy of respect from everyone.
On the other side, on the Atlantic coast, the sky has just brightened.
In the White House, the director of the CIA just hurriedly arrived, and was greeted by flying saliva and a scolding!
"Shit!"
"Waste!"
"After investigating for so long, I still can't find out what the other party is doing. What a bunch of waste! I can't even figure out what the opponent is doing, and I have to wait until they start celebrating before I know! What's the point of the CIA's existence? It's better to disband it!"
The CIA director who just arrived was instantly stunned by the scolding. After subconsciously catching the report thrown at him, he came to his senses.
After seeing the content of the investigation report, the CIA director's face changed instantly.
Nuclear waste recycling technology!
Even though he is not a nuclear energy professional, he is quite clear about the value of this technology.
The United States and its allies have not studied the recycling of waste generated by nuclear power plants. In fact, this was a project with a considerable proportion in the early years.
After all, if nuclear waste can be reused, then nuclear energy will be greatly developed.
At present, nuclear fission power generation in mainstream countries around the world is actually quite mature from a technical point of view. What limits nuclear fission power plants from becoming mainstream power generation is, on the one hand, the large initial investment, and on the other hand, the nuclear waste generated is extremely difficult to handle.
If nuclear waste can be reused or perfectly disposed of, then nuclear fission power plants will develop rapidly.
The United States is fine, and is not very eager for this technology.
But across the Atlantic, the EU countries are different.
In terms of energy, they have been clamped by the disintegrated red country for too long.
Whether it is oil or natural gas, they are controlled by people.
Therefore, after shifting the desire for energy to other directions, nuclear energy is undoubtedly quite suitable.
But after investing tens of billions of dollars and spending several years without any results, both the United States and the European Union have given up the way to reuse or perfectly dispose of nuclear waste.
There is no other way, it can't be done.
At present, the most appropriate approach, whether it is the United States or the European Union, is to find a geologically stable area, dig a hole deep, throw the nuclear waste into it and store it.
Even some unethical countries, such as some small countries in East Asia, have announced that because the storage capacity has reached its limit, they may discharge nuclear waste water directly into the Pacific Ocean in the future.
Of course, they have done this kind of thing themselves, but they just haven't made it public.
Staring at the report in his hand, the CIA director quickly thought about the impact of this technology.
For the United States, nuclear waste recycling technology is not so scarce, after all, only a small part of their energy supply comes from nuclear energy.
But those European countries are probably quite coveting this technology.
If it is confirmed that this technology can be used commercially, I am afraid that many countries in the European Union will be restless.
Perhaps, they have to find a way to control it?
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his face instantly became ugly.
Indeed, from the perspective of energy, the United States does not rely much on nuclear energy.
But they are extremely dependent on the oil-dollar system they established!
Relying on this financial system, they can release various domestic financial crises to the world and let all countries in the world help to bear it together.
And they only need to sit at home and print money. As long as their aircraft carriers are still sailing in the Pacific and Atlantic, there will always be countries to pay for their consumption.
But what if this system collapses?
That would be the biggest disaster in history.
Energy, materials, and information are the three pillars of the 21st century, and the development of the entire society cannot be separated from any of these three pillars.
Especially energy, when the energy problem is solved, even if the materials and information are slightly worse, it doesn't matter much.
Relying on endless energy, using cars to pull water can turn the desert into an oasis.
Of course, it is difficult to do this at present if it only relies on nuclear fission to generate electricity and reuse nuclear waste.
After all, nuclear energy still has certain limitations and it is impossible to squander it without restraint.
Unless they can come up with the legendary nuclear fusion.
But this still has a big impact on them. Even if it can't solve all the energy crises, it can solve part of it.
If oil is no longer used as the main energy source, but when various fields such as automobiles and industry begin to no longer rely on oil and start using electricity instead, the value of oil will be greatly reduced.
Then can they, who are based on the oil-rice gold system, still sit still?
No wonder he was called over and scolded early in the morning.
If it were him, he would definitely scold him.
But he also felt that he was wronged.
If it were before, they would definitely not know what such a big project was doing. If they were given a little more time, perhaps they would also know what the other party was doing.
But it's too late to say anything now, the other party has already succeeded.
