Galaxy Technology Empire

February 23rd happens to be the beginning of the second month of the lunar calendar.

In the northern country where thousands of miles of snow is falling, the beginning of spring has passed, and the melting of ice and snow has made the weather a bit colder.

In Hefei, Ontario, there are already some preludes of spring blooming.

Wan Kun had just returned to the office from inspecting the tokamak device of their research institute, and before his butt was hot, chief engineer Shen Beihai came in.

"Wansuo, the Qinling side has been very active recently!"

Wan Kun raised his head in surprise: "What did they do?"

"During your exchange in Xizhou, the tokamak device in Qinling was dismantled and the entire device was sold as scrap." Shen Beihai was also confused.

"Did the tokamak device be dismantled and sold as scrap? Their heads were filled with water?" Wan Kun suddenly said with a confused look on his face.

"That's not all. A few days ago, they also customized 60 1-million-kilowatt supercritical steam turbine generator sets from CNNC and First Heavy Industry." Shen Beihai continued.

"60 1 million kilowatt supercritical steam turbine engines?" Wan Kun was shocked by this number.

There are 60 100-kilowatt supercritical steam turbine generator sets. Wan Kun is no stranger. These generator sets can generate 60 million kilowatt-hours in one hour. Even if they do not have 100% power, the amount of power generated is not small.

The Galaxy Consortium rarely develops thermal power stations. They are interested in wind power and photovoltaic power. What is they planning to do by purchasing so many steam turbine generator sets at once?

"This is what surprises me, Wan Suo, what do you think?" Shen Beihai asked.

Wan Kun pondered, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and after eliminating all possibilities, the only thing left was that their nuclear fusion power generation technology had achieved a breakthrough.

"Beihai, do you think there is a possibility of a breakthrough in nuclear fusion power generation technology in the Qinling Mountains?"

"I'm not sure, after all, those people at Galaxy Technology, who knows how many black technologies they have." Shen Beihai shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Suddenly Wan Kun patted his forehead: "What's the use of guessing here? Beihai, you and Liu Jingguan from Qinling don't have a good relationship. You can make a phone call to find out."

Shen Beihai smiled bitterly and said: "Haha, you think I haven't called. Liu Jingguan can't get through on the phone now. It seems that the Qinling Plasma Research Institute does not allow external communication."

"Even communication is not allowed?" Wan Kun did not expect that the Qinling Plasma Research Institute had been completely sealed. Of course, Wan Kun, as a veteran, felt something was wrong with this unusual atmosphere.

For a time, various nuclear fusion research institutes in the country were surprised by the big move of the Qinling Plasma Research Institute. After all, they all had generator sets. If there was no breakthrough, what was the purpose of customizing the generator set? Do you want to buy it and burn it back?

So many supercritical steam turbine generator sets cost real money. Even if they are different from the generator sets of thermal power stations and do not require the relevant supporting facilities of thermal power stations, the cost is not small.

A thermal power station previously invested by Shandong Province has two 1 million kilowatt supercritical steam turbine generating units. The total investment in the first phase is 7.9 billion yuan. Excluding other miscellaneous expenses, it is estimated that a 1 million kilowatt generating unit requires 10 billions of dollars.

In fact, the price contracted by the Qinling Plasma Research Institute to China National Nuclear Corporation was 1.2 billion yuan for one unit, and the order for 60 units was a total of 72 billion yuan.

Such a large order is definitely not something that one manufacturer can handle. Harbin Boiler, Shanghai Electric, and Dongfang Electric each received orders for 20 units, which were subcontracted to them by CNNC and Daiichi Heavy Industry.

These actions obviously cannot be concealed. Relevant domestic research institutes and even the Academy of Sciences all know that the Qinling Plasma Research Institute is already launching generator sets.

In this situation, if they said that Qinling Plasma Research Institute had no breakthrough, they would not believe it.

They unanimously mobilized their contacts to find out, but the Qinling Plasma Research Institute is currently in a state of physical isolation, and all information exchanges must be approved by Zhong.

Obviously, Shen Beihai and others directly hit a wall. Faced with this feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, everyone was itching to know the true situation of Qinling Plasma Research Institute.

As scholars who have studied nuclear fusion power generation all their lives, they now see a possibility of nuclear fusion power generation that is suspected to be successful, and they are anxious at this moment.

As a model of cooperation between the Academy of Sciences and the Galaxy Consortium, Academician Ma has been overwhelmed by calls from Shen Beihai and others these days. He had no choice but to call Fei Anming.

"An Ming, it's my old horse."

"It turns out to be Academician Ma. How come you have time to call me?"

"I am also very helpless. Your big move has made those who study nuclear fusion in China think about it!" Academician Ma said with a wry smile.

"Haha, so that's what happened. You keep blowing the wind."

"I was also annoyed by calls from Shen Beihai and others. If it involves confidentiality, forget it." Academician Ma also knew the seriousness and did not embarrass Fei Anming.

"It does involve confidentiality. Our research institute has now been upgraded to top secret. I can't talk about these situations." Fei Anming explained.

"In that case, I won't ask any questions and congratulate you on your early success." Academician Ma said with a smile.

"Thank you for your understanding."

After Academician Ma hung up the phone, he had already guessed that the Qinling Plasma Research Institute was very likely to have made a breakthrough in nuclear fusion power generation technology.

He called Shen Beihai and others directly and told them that there was nothing he could do, and told them not to go around asking for information about the Qinling Plasma Research Institute.

the other side.

Qinling Plasma Research Institute.

The progress of the Jinwu No. 1 project is getting closer and closer to completion. Three of the twelve laser power generation pipelines have been installed. In order to install these 800-meter-long laser power generation pipelines, Zhang Huaide directly demolished many buildings and equipment in the institute.

In addition, the substation subsidiary of State Grid also sent people to install the substation.

"Boss, what are they going to do with such a big substation?" an engineer asked, looking at the research institute not far away.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Curiosity will kill the cat. This kind of unit is very high-level. Knowing too much is not good for us." The person in charge of the project warned seriously.

"Um..." The engineer who asked the question suddenly didn't dare to speak nonsense.

One by one, huge transformers were lifted up by the crane airship, and the engineers were working intensively.

Although these engineers dare not discuss it openly, as leaders in the power industry, they can see more or less the fishiness in it through the scale of this substation.

An annual power generation capacity of at least one trillion kilowatt hours requires the use of such a large-scale substation, but a power station with an annual power generation capacity of one trillion kilowatt hours is simply unheard of.

Thinking that the Qinling Plasma Research Institute is engaged in nuclear fusion power generation, a group of engineers began to guess in their hearts, could it be that nuclear fusion power generation technology has been successful?

In fact, State Grid has guessed from various signs that the nuclear fusion power generation technology of Qinling Plasma Research Institute is very likely to be successful.

Du Lidao, President of State Grid, summoned engineers and heads of various departments in the power grid system.

After some analysis and research, they estimated that the Qinling Plasma Research Institute has a 90% chance of successfully developing nuclear fusion power generation technology.
