Sixty-seven - The essence of technology is to boil water

In the evening, when Shikuyele from the Namibian Investment Department visited again, Chen Chen informed the other party of the location.

Although Shikuyele was a little embarrassed after hearing this, he still smiled and said that he would report Chen Chen's proposal to the Congress.

As for whether the Ministry of Investment and the Ministry of Environmental Protection will have a disagreement over this, or even decide the winner by fighting each other in the Congressional arena, that has nothing to do with Chen Chen.

In the next few days, Chen Chen declined the official company of Namibia, and only brought Qian Wenhuan and a few people to go around the tourist attractions in Namibia one by one.

Even in the entire African region, Namibia is considered the most developed country in tourism, and tourist attractions and wildlife reserves can be seen everywhere——

The Spitzkope Mountain, known as the Mountain of God, has a world-famous rock arch bridge, which is extremely magnificent and magnificent under the stars at night;

In the vast desert, the quiver tree unique to Africa grows, and its branches rise into the sky, like a palm asking for it from the sky;

There is also the heroic scene of the yellow sand entering the sea in the vast sea. On one side is the endless desert, and on the other side is the vast ocean. The two originally irrelevant are perfectly integrated in the vast sea, like a symphony of sand and sea...

The sparse population represents a large number of unexplored natural landscapes, coupled with spring-like temperatures and a more stable political situation than its neighbors, making it the most popular country for tourism in Africa.

Of course, Chen Chen didn't just play, he also visited the uranium mines held by the two Zhongzhou districts, Hushan and Luoxin.

Both uranium mines are located in the Namib Desert in western Namibia. The Hushan uranium mine is 60 kilometers away from the coastal city of Swakopmund, and the Rosing uranium mine is located 10 kilometers south of the city of Alandis.

Among the two uranium mines, Hushan Uranium Mine ranks third in the world in terms of uranium resource reserves, with a total resource of 286,000 tons and an annual output of 6,500 tons of uranium 8 oxide, ranking second in the world in annual output.

The Rossing uranium mine has an annual output of 2,500 tons, ranking fifth in the world in annual output.

After the tour was over, Chen Chen felt a lot more heavy on the way back.

After preliminary contact and negotiation, the quotations of China General Nuclear Power Group and China National Nuclear Corporation are almost the same. If Chen Chen wants to build a nuclear power plant with a power generation capacity of 1 million kilowatts in the south of Walvis Bay, it will roughly cost 14 billion yuan.

Converted to US dollars, it is 2 billion US dollars.

The reason why it is much higher than the market price is actually the reason for the transportation of materials.

The building materials needed for nuclear power plants are basically impossible to find with African industries. They must be transported by sea from Zhongzhou District. The 15,000-kilometer journey has been back and forth several times, and the cost will naturally increase.

Of course, this is referring to the price of the third-generation nuclear power plant CAP1400, which is an improved version of the AP1000 technology introduced from North America in the Central Continent.

Generally speaking, the reactors of nuclear power plants are divided into two types: "light water reactor" and "heavy water reactor".

The "light water reactor" is divided into "pressurized water reactor" and "boiling water reactor".

The CAP1400 is a kind of "passive pressurized water reactor". First, the nuclear fuel is fissioned to generate a large amount of heat energy, and then the heat energy is taken out by the water under high pressure. produced.

Different from the second-generation reactor, the biggest feature of the third-generation CAP1400 technology is that the design is simple and easy to operate, which is simpler and more effective than traditional nuclear reactors, and further improves the safety of nuclear power plants.

As for the other "boiling water reactor" nuclear reactor, just look at the fate of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Donghaizhou.

In addition to higher safety, another reason why Chen Chen chose CAP1400 is that the third-generation nuclear power plant can use modular technology during the construction process, which can greatly shorten the construction period of the nuclear power unit.

It can be put into operation in as little as 18 months at the earliest.

However, after understanding the working principles of these nuclear power plants, Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh, no wonder there are always people complaining on the Internet that "the essence of human technology is to boil water and study how to boil water more effectively".

And the only thing that made Chen Chen dissatisfied was the power of the reactor.

A 1,000,000-kilowatt nuclear power plant sounds scary, but in fact it is only 10MVA. According to the average power requirement of 8KW per household, each household has three people, and half of the demand factor can supply the daily electricity consumption of 750,000 people.

Besides, Chen Chen didn't generate electricity for love. The real purpose of his construction of the nuclear power plant was to charge the USB flash drive. Therefore, even after the nuclear power plant was built, Chen Chen would definitely have to make some deductions, and even most of the deductions were normal operations.

Therefore, 1 million kilowatts of nuclear reactors are not enough, Chen Chen hopes to expand to 2 million!

It appears that plans for lending and launching new products are imminent.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen, who was sitting in the four-wheel-drive off-road vehicle, looked out the window subconsciously.

The open wind on the plain swept across Chen Chen's face, bringing a hint of coolness. At this time, the setting sun had already set in the sky, leaving only the afterglow of the afterglow that made most of the sky red.

The sky and the earth gradually darkened, and fires also rose in the few villages that occasionally appeared on both sides of the road.

"Electricity", a product that has long been a part of human daily life in the 21st century, is still a luxury in this wild and backward country...

Who would have thought that Namibia, which is full of uranium mines and extremely rich in rare earth resources, relies on imports for 70% of its electricity.

Namibia's annual GDP is only 14 billion US dollars, 20% of wealthy white people account for 80% of the country's total income, 60% of banks are controlled by foreign capital, and ordinary people generally live in poverty. below the line.

The Namibian government does not have the financial resources to invest in the capital and technology needed to develop nuclear power plants.

Because the country's economy is backward and lacks funds, it lacks relevant technologies for nuclear energy development, and the whole country is seriously short of electricity. It can only guard the treasure mountain of uranium mine, but there is no way to do it.

Due to the perennial power shortage, the Namibian officials were even forced to introduce a policy called "Adjusting the Single Buyer Model" to encourage eligible independent power manufacturers to sell power resources directly to their own people, not as it is now All run through the Namibian electricity company.

From here you can see how miserable this official is.

However, this is already a very wise and powerful official in the African region, and there is not even a rebel army in the territory, unlike other countries where wars are raging all day long and warlords are fighting, let alone development, peace and stability are an extravagant hope.

But because of this, Chen Chen's intention to build a nuclear power plant immediately aroused the shock of the entire Congress.

After all, the investment in a nuclear power plant alone exceeds the total foreign trade of Namibia in the whole year.
