Chapter 340: Increase Revenue and Reduce Expenditure, Incredible Usage Cost!
In fact, what Qian Zhizhong and others don't know is that these costs are not included in the research and development costs!
If R&D costs are included, the cost of the Nantianmen project will inevitably become an astronomical figure!
Not to mention anything else, just the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion technology. Human beings proposed the concept of controllable nuclear fusion technology decades ago.
However, until now, the International Nuclear Fusion Research Organization has been researching for decades and invested hundreds of billions of dollars in research and development expenses. However, to this day, it has been called "the technology of fifty years later" decades ago. "The controllable nuclear fusion technology is still "a technology fifty years from now"! !
Like Schrödinger's cat, this "fifty year" is no longer a specific number, but a concept!
The fifty years today are fifty years, and the fifty years tomorrow will still be fifty years. Maybe even ten, twenty, or thirty years from now, those fifty years will still be fifty years!
No one knows how many years this "fifty years" is!
Similarly, no one knows how much research and development funds and time will be invested in controllable nuclear fusion technology!
This is just controllable nuclear fusion technology!
There are countless black technologies on Nantianmen, and the research and development cost of each one alone will be an astonishing figure!
All put together, let alone the current Longcun, even if the economic size of Longcun were doubled or even several times doubled, I am afraid that it would not be able to support the research and development work of the Nantianmen project!
But now, because of Su Heng's existence, the research and development cost, which accounts for the largest cost, has been wiped out by Su Heng.
But even the remaining manufacturing costs are not something Longcun can afford now.
For a moment, whether it was Qian Zhizhong, Qin Shan, or Qiao Zhenhai, the three of them fell into silence.
At this moment, the three of them wanted to wave their hands and tell Su Heng not to worry about money. As long as Su Heng could come up with technology, they would be able to provide enough funds to help with the construction.
But when the words came to their lips, the three of them could only forcefully swallow them.
A wave of your hand?
It sounds simple, but what do they use it for?
A sum of more than ten digits is a real wealth!
It can't be solved by just talking!
Moreover, Qian Zhizhong and the others knew very well that the costs proposed by Su Heng must already be the lowest costs!
In the past time, the equipment Su Heng provided to Longcun has always been like this!
Even if they force Su Heng to retain a certain profit margin, the profits collected by Su Heng are still very meager.
As a result, they had to find compensation for Su Heng from other places, such as tax exemptions, various policy supports, helping Su Heng sell equipment, and the previous northern water conservancy project, etc...
For a long time, Qian Zhizhong and the other three looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.
Opening their mouths, the three of them were ready to say something, but when the words reached their lips, they still couldn't say anything.
For a moment, the unspeakable feeling made all three of them feel extremely aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible!
At this moment, the three of them had the deepest understanding of this sentence!
Obviously they have the most advanced things in front of them, but they have to stop because they have no money!
"Money..."
Countless thoughts passed through the minds of Qian Zhizhong and the others one after another.
Without exception, when all these thoughts are summed up, there are only two words: "make money"!
Without money, Nantianmen cannot be built!
Leaving such advanced things undeveloped would be even more uncomfortable for Qian Zhizhong and others than killing them!
"How about continuing to look for the camels?"
As their thoughts gathered together, Qian Zhizhong and the three of them all thought of camels.
Modalahaner had mentioned before that he wanted to join the Nantianmen project.
It was just rejected by them.
After all, the previous Nantianmen project itself was a non-existent empty shell project used to fool Black and White Eagle.
But now, Su Heng has put this project into practice.
The technical problem has been solved by Su Heng, but now it is the least technical problem of funds that has become the biggest stumbling block!
In this way, it seems that the only force that can best solve the financial problem of Longcun is Camel!
However, when they thought about Luo Tuo's current situation, after thinking for a while, Qian Zhizhong and the other three suppressed this idea directly.
It’s really no problem to find a camel.
Camels are rich, but camels are still at war!
Moreover, Luotuo has already done too much business with Longcun before, from military equipment to people's livelihood projects, to the most basic clothing, food and other materials, etc. Now Luotuo still falls short of them, Longcun and Su Heng. There are nearly five trillion dragon coins in gold and oil over there!
Modalahaner even directly signed a two trillion investment project with Longcun a while ago!
All told, the camels already owe Longcun an astonishing wealth of nearly 7 trillion yuan!
To a certain extent, the camels were almost bald in Longcun!
If they continued to dig in, Qian Zhizhong and the others were worried that they might kill the camel...
In addition to worrying about being ripped off, as managers, they must also consider possible unknown risks.
You can't put all your eggs in one basket!
Now Luotuo already owes Longcun such an astonishing wealth. If the debt continues, who knows what other changes will happen?
After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable!
In the past, it was not uncommon for Longcun to give out countless benefits and then raise white-eyed wolves!
Although there are no signs of this in camels yet, they must take precautions in the bud no matter what!
This is not suspicion, but the most basic reason for a manager!
It is difficult to have absolute trust between people, let alone between villages!
Although Modalahaner and other camels have a good relationship with Longcun now, what about the future?
Even though Mo Darahan and others have never forgotten their original intentions, if something happens to Mo Darahan and others, such as the previous beheading incident, will the new Camel who comes to power still fight with Mo Dara Han and others? Like people?
They have to consider these things!
Another point is that the funds required for the Nantianmen project are too huge, and it is obvious that camels alone cannot support the Nantianmen project.
According to the data Su Heng just gave, the overall construction cost of a Nantianmen would be thousands or even trillions!
If we really want to launch Nantianmen, it is obviously impossible to build just one Nantianmen!
In this way, the camel may not be able to bear it!
Camels also have to live, so we can't send all our wealth to Longcun, right?
Will life be difficult for you in the future?
Thoughts were spinning. The more they thought about it, the more headaches Qian Zhizhong and the others felt.
In front of the three people, Su Heng didn't say much, but quietly waited for the three people's responses.
He has already said what needs to be said. As for how to choose, that is not his business.
He is just a technical person and does not understand these strategic decisions, and there is no need to understand them.
I don't know how long it took, but Qiao Zhenhai seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly raised his head and said:
"Xiao Su, can your controllable nuclear fusion technology be commercialized?"
Commercial?
Hearing this, Su Heng was startled.
He quickly guessed what Qiao Zhenhai was thinking: "Mr. Qiao, what do you mean, nuclear fusion power generation?"
"That's right." Qiao Zhenhai nodded directly, and then continued: "Xiao Su, your controllable nuclear fusion technology should be clean, right?"
"Yeah" Su Heng nodded slightly when faced with the question.
There is no doubt about this issue.
Controllable nuclear fusion technology is called artificial sun, not only because the energy it releases is extremely huge, but also because it is far more environmentally friendly than nuclear fission.
One of the fundamental reasons why Su Heng gave up nuclear fission and instead pursued nuclear fusion was because it was environmentally friendly and pollution-free.
Even if there is an accident, a nuclear fusion reactor will not have a large-scale nuclear leakage pollution event like a nuclear fission reactor!
Instead, it will directly stop the reaction!
After pondering for a moment, Su Heng slowly said:
"Mr. Qiao, do you want to use nuclear fusion power plants to replace thermal power, hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic power and nuclear power?"
"Yes." Qiao Zhenhai nodded again. Before Su Heng could say anything more, Qiao Zhenhai said directly: "Xiao Su, do you know how much our Longcun invests in power projects in a year?"
Hearing this, Su Heng shook his head.
He really didn't know about this issue. He hadn't researched it specifically, let alone consulted detailed official internal documents. How could he possibly know this under such circumstances?
"Last year, our Longcun invested a total of 900 billion dragon coins in power projects! 400 billion of them were investments in the power grid system, and the remaining 500 billion were all basic power generation facilities, as you just said Investment in thermal power plants, hydropower plants, nuclear power plants and other power generation equipment!”
“According to our internal planning, related investments will only be higher next year!”
"And the controllable nuclear fusion technology you brought can completely replace all these investments! In this way, the remaining funds can be used in other aspects..."
"I made a rough estimate. According to the power generation capacity of your Jinwu 330, Xiao Su, one Jinwu 330 can provide sufficient energy for a city of 20 million people. In this way, as long as there are about 80 Jinwu 330 nuclear fusion The reactor can basically meet all the electricity needs of our Longcun, including industry!”
"According to what you just said, the construction cost of one Golden Crow 330 nuclear fusion reactor is 2 billion, and 80 of them only cost 160 billion!"
"Calculated, if the Jinwu 330 is used to replace other power generation equipment, it can save our village more than 300 billion a year!"
"And according to what you just said, the service life of the Golden Crow 330 is still up to sixty years. That means that in the next sixty years, we don't have to spend more money on the reactor. In this way, we can provide our village with more energy every year. Save hundreds of billions of dollars!”
"In addition, the consumption of power generation facilities such as thermal power and nuclear power is still very huge. Taking thermal power as an example, thermal power generation is entirely supported by coal. Our coal consumption alone is an astronomical figure every year!"
"If we can save this coal consumption, we can also save a lot of money for our village every year!"
“Moreover, reducing coal burning can also significantly reduce our air pollution, environmental pollution, and geological damage to coal mining areas... The treatment and repair of these pollution and damage require a lot of manpower and material resources, which is very important to us. It’s all a huge expense…”
Qiao Zhenhai said a lot eloquently.
Until the end, Qiao Zhenhai concluded: "If Xiao Suqian can commercialize Jinwu 330, then in the next sixty years, Xiao Su, you can at least save tens of trillions of huge expenses for our Longcun!"
After a pause, as if he thought of something, Qiao Zhenhai continued:
"Xiao Su, is the cost of using the Golden Crow 330 high?"
"Use cost?" Su Heng did not hesitate and said directly: "The use cost is very low. The design stability of Jinwu 330 is designed according to the highest standard I can achieve. Without external interference, it can be used for sixty years. Within the life span, it only needs maintenance three times at most!”
"On average, according to my design and normal operation, without external interference, including the construction cost, the annual usage cost of the Golden Crow 330 will not exceed 100 million dragon coins!"
"Then in terms of fuel, adding nuclear fuel to the Jinwu 330 can support stable operation for at least twenty years, synchronizing with the maintenance schedule of the Jinwu 330!"
"I can directly extract the nuclear raw materials needed for Jinwu 330 from seawater. Within the designed service life of Jinwu 330, if it is used to generate electricity, the cost of generating electricity per kilowatt hour will not exceed 0.01 dragon coins!"
What is the cost of using 100 million dragon coins per year?
0.01 Dragon Coin power generation cost?
After listening to what Su Heng said, the pupils of Qiao Zhenhai and the others couldn't help but shrink.
According to the information they know, not to mention the cost of use, in terms of power generation costs, the current power generation cost of Longcun Thermal Power is between 0.3 dragon coins and 0.4 dragon coins per kilowatt hour!
As for Su Heng's Jinwu 330, the power generation cost is only 0.01 dragon coins!
The gap between the two is thirty to forty times! !
This is simply unbelievable!
Even compared with hydropower, which has the lowest power generation cost, there is a gap several times. Currently, the lowest cost power generation equipment in Longcun is hydropower. The power generation cost of hydropower is about 0.07 to 0.1 dragon coins.
Calculated based on the lowest price of 0.07 dragon coins, the cost of hydropower generation is seven times that of Jinwu 330!
With such low power generation costs, even if the cost of power grid construction and other messy supporting facilities are included, if Jinwu 330 is used to completely replace their power generation facilities in Longcun, the cost of electricity in Longcun will also drop dramatically!
And what does falling electricity costs mean?
This not only means that the electricity consumption of Longcun residents will decrease, but more importantly, the cost of industrial electricity consumption, which accounts for the majority of electricity consumption, will also drop significantly!
The reduction in industrial electricity costs means that the cost of all industrial output has been significantly reduced!
In other words, it means that all industrial costs in Longcun will be significantly reduced!
The changes brought about by this are almost epoch-making!
The resources and funds that can be saved are an unimaginable astronomical figure!
Thinking of this, Qian Zhizhong and the three of them breathed a little quickly!
At this moment, as if he thought of something, Qin Shan suddenly turned his gaze to Su Heng and said:
"Xiao Su, you just said that you can extract nuclear raw materials from sea water?"
The sudden sound made Su Heng startled.
But Su Heng soon came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Yes, it was my first time seven years ago..."
Midway through speaking, Su Heng's voice paused, but after only a moment's pause, Su Heng continued:
"I mastered this technology seven years ago, but at that time I only studied nuclear fission, not nuclear fusion. This technology was involved in my subsequent desalination plants. Now the nuclear fission in my hands The raw materials used in power stations and nuclear fusion reactors are basically extracted from seawater in desalination plants..."
Desalination plants to refine nuclear materials?
After listening to what Su Heng said, Qian Zhizhong and the others' mouths twitched slightly.
Good guy!
If Su Heng hadn't said this himself, it would be unimaginable for them that those civilian seawater desalination plants were still doing this!
Extract nuclear raw materials from sea water!
It sounds easy, but if it were that easy, mushrooms would be everywhere in the world!
"Xiao Su, tell us the truth, how many nuclear power plants do you have in the world? Isn't there a nuclear power plant in every desalination plant?"
After a long time, Qian Zhizhong asked quietly.
