WALKERTON - The nuclear fusion power station is officially operational.

Fang Ping and Zhang Huaide took the Speaker of the Australian Parliament John Lake Johnson, the Governor of Western Australia Edward Carfano and others to visit the inauguration ceremony of nuclear fusion power generation.

Unlike crude thermal power plants, nuclear fusion power plants use magnetic fluid and temperature difference combined power generation technology. This system is very simple and very silent. There is no other sound except for the slight sound of some motors running.

"Branch Fang, will this nuclear power plant be dangerous?" Jon Lake Johansen was obviously hesitant about the nuclear power plant.

"Mr. Johnson, this is a nuclear fusion power plant. It is different from a nuclear fission power plant. Its raw materials and products are non-radioactive elements. During the reaction process, we have also designed it very perfectly, even if there is an accident. , there will be no radioactive contamination or nuclear leakage problems." Zhang Huaide explained proudly.

Fang Ping also patted Johnson on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my office is in Walkerton. If something happens, I won't be the first person to suffer."

"Okay! But let's not publicize the nuclear power plant here for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary commotion." Johnson could only choose to suppress the news for the time being.

Although the status of the Speaker of the Australian Parliament is nominally higher than that of Fang Ping, the Minister of the Western Australia Division, in fact the Speaker of the Australian Parliament is nothing more than a rubber stamp and has no right to order local power players like Fang Ping.

The governor of Western Australia is also considered one of Fang Ping's deputies. This shows that the local branch minister is very powerful, equivalent to a feudal official.

However, the system implemented by the Galaxy Foundation at the local level is somewhat similar to the separation of powers. The head of the branch is in charge of administration, the head of the statistics branch is in charge of inspection, and the head of the finance branch is in charge of finance.

In addition, the security force is directly under the Tianhan Security Group, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Galaxy Consortium.

There is also the supervision and proposal body of the local board of directors. The so-called local boards of directors are those companies or forces affiliated with the Galaxy Consortium.

For example, the six major consortiums in Sun Kingdom are eligible to join the local board of directors and even have a seat on the highest board of directors.

Small and medium-sized enterprises affiliated with the Galaxy Consortium on local boards are also eligible to join.

Zhang Huaide introduced to several people as he walked: "The annual power generation of this nuclear fusion power station is about 314 billion kilowatt hours, which can temporarily meet the power demand of Western Australia."

"314 billion kilowatt-hours!" Edward was once again in awe of the scientific and technological strength of the Galaxy Consortium.

"Yes, it is 314 billion kilowatt hours." Zhang Huaide nodded again to confirm.

Fang Ping said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter. If it weren't for the fact that we can't use so much electricity for the time being, I would have planned to build a Golden Crow A nuclear fusion generator."

"Type A? What's the difference between it and this one?" Johnson asked doubtfully.

"The power generated by Type A is 10 times that of Type B." Fang Ping raised his eyebrows and said.

"Oh, come on, Australia's annual power generation last year was only 550 billion kilowatt-hours. A Type-A nuclear fusion generator was six times that. It's amazing!" Johnson exclaimed.

"With electricity, fresh water, and foam cement, we have the confidence to conquer the desert." Fang Ping pointed at the nuclear fusion generator and said enthusiastically.

Johnson and Edward looked at each other. For the first time, they felt that they could really do whatever they wanted with technology, such as transforming deserts, desalinating seawater, nuclear fusion power generation, instant buildings, mass projectors, space stations, etc. These were things they could hardly imagine. , or something unimaginable.

Especially nuclear fusion power generation. Once this thing comes out, the productivity of the entire society will skyrocket again, and prices can drop by about 20 to 40%.

Productivity explodes and prices fall, which means that the value of Mars coins will appreciate in disguise. After all, one dollar could buy five White Rabbit toffees before, but now one dollar can buy 6 to 7. The money is still the same, but the value has increased by 20 to 40. %.

This impact is huge. Nuclear fusion power generation can make a country's development advance by leaps and bounds. Especially for countries that consume huge amounts of electricity, it is an opportunity to reach a higher level.

Edward and Johnson felt lucky that it was an honor for Australia to ride on the Galaxy Consortium's train.

"Branch Fang, can we equip New South Wales with a nuclear fusion power station?" Johnson suddenly asked.

"It's not impossible, but it may take a while." Fang Ping thought for a while and replied, then turned to Zhang Huaide and asked: "Dr. Zhang, what is the order arrangement of Jinwu Group?"

"Let me take a look." Zhang Huaide flipped through the holographic file: "It may be around October. Dongtang has orders for one Type A and four Type B. In addition, Fusang District, Dongying District, Luzon District, and Siam District also have orders for each type. There is an order for one.”

"October this year? That's okay." Johnson nodded.

"Johnson, you can tell Edward Clegg, the branch director of New South Wales, and ask him to apply for a nuclear fusion power station from the Jinwu Group. You can also prepare the infrastructure in advance," Fang Ping suggested.

Johnson made an OK gesture: "OK, I will talk to Edward."

Fang Ping asked Zhang Huaide again: "Dr. Zhang, when do you plan to go back to East Island?"

Zhang Huaide thought for a while and replied: "The day after tomorrow! I will check the operation of the nuclear fusion power station in the next two days. If everything is normal, I will return to Dongdao the day after tomorrow."

"Then I'll bother Dr. Zhang for the next few days. I'll go check out other places with Johnson and Edward first."

"You get busy first!"

Fang Ping took Johnson and Edward to other areas of Walkerton.

An hour later, the convoy slowly stopped at the edge of the northern area of ​​Walkerton. The sky was filled with yellow sand, and gusts of wind and sand blew around several people.

Fang Ping, Edward, and Johnson stood on the sand control dam wearing sunglasses and masks.

"The transformation work of the Gibson Desert is in progress, but the water pipeline has not yet reached here. We are now focusing our efforts on transforming the southern Victoria Desert." Fang Ping took off his sunglasses and said.

Edward, holding a telescope, asked: "How quickly can the transformation of the Gibson Desert be completed?"

"It can be completed around 2022 to 2023. The Victoria Desert will be faster. The preliminary transformation work will be almost completed next year." Fang Ping replied.

"By the way, Branch Fang, we still need to pay more attention to those nature reserves. We have to leave a part of the desert as a nature reserve." Johnson reminded.

"Don't worry, these are the nature reserves we planned." Fang Ping opened the holographic bracelet and called up a planning map.

Looking at the nature reserve on the map, which occupies about one-sixth of the desert, Johnson nodded. After all, if the desert is completely transformed, it will most likely lead to the extinction of native organisms in the desert area. If they develop sustainably, rather than predatory development.

"Edward, I have to trouble you about the immigration work. There is a huge shortage of workers in the Walkerton area recently, and we want more labor." Fang Ping ordered.

"I have accelerated the review, but recently many natives from Indonesia and Malaysia are also applying for immigration. What should we do in this regard?" Edward reminded.

"Reject these people, unless they are Tang people from Indonesia and Malaysia or white people who believe in Buddhism or Jesus Christ. We don't need garbage." Fang Ping directly ordered.

In fact, Edward didn't look down on these people either. He nodded in agreement with Fang Ping's approach.
