Nuclear fusion generators, the more technical term should be nuclear fusion reactors.
The closet-sized generator was hard to compare with the house-sized reactor in a nuclear power plant.
However, nuclear fusion reactors in the 22nd century were this size. Although not as miniature as Iron Man Tony?s reactor on his chest, tthese five fusion reactors were still unimaginable miracles for the current technological capability , .
Yes, phenomena that cannot be described with existing knowledge can only be described as miracles.
It was Penglai City?s electric power minister, Mr. Zhang Haiwang, who lost his ability to reason at this moment. When he saw the generators being deployed into the power room, personally connecting them to the power grid, personally putting the storage tank in place, personally pressing the test run switch…
He felt for a split second that his decades of learning was no different from a primitive man that never learned the concept of school.
A single generator was enough to meet the lighting needs of the entire city. Two generators were enough to supply the electricity demand of the entire city. The remaining three were used only as backups, when the other two generators fail or require maintenance. However, this situation would hardly appear. Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant was a strategic reserve facility, the safety and self-running capabilities of the reactors were considered top priority. Designers had already solved these possible problems during the planning phase.
After completing the nuclear fusion generator placement, the staff members were allowed to re-enter the closed floors. Everyone was guessing why the three floors were temporarily closed, but no one could guess why.
?Can I ask about the cost of producing these deuterium? I?d like to set new electricity prices.? When the placement work was completed, Zhang Haiwang asked another key question.
Cost? That would be a difficult problem because Jiang Chen did not spend a penny on these nuclear fuels.
After considering it for a moment, Jiang Chen said.
?The production cost is difficult to calculate. I can?t give you an accurate figure. But one thing is certain, the cost of nuclear fusion power generation is only one-tenth of that of wind power. As for the electricity price, you can refer to the electricity price of Coro Island and lower the price based on that. But externally, claim that the Future Group will implement electricity price subsidies for Penglai City.?
Nuclear fusion power generation technology was a confidential matter and naturally cannot be disclosed to the public. The cancellation of the current tidal power generators and seaweed projects were apt to give rise to suspicion, but it was not enough to make people think of nuclear energy, nor nuclear fusion.
After all, Jiang Chen could make something up to the media. He would say that Penglai has adopted the latest tidal power generators installed in every corner of Penglai and invested however many billion. It would ultimately be his words that count in the end.
As for the spies who come to the island, it would the work of Ghost Agents and not his concern.
After completing the work with nuclear fusion generators, Jiang Chen and Ayesha left Penglai. However, he did not immediately return to New Moon Island, but opened up the panoramic imaging function. The four-sided curved wall formed into transparent glass. The two in the Droplet felt like they were standing in a transparent droplet of water.
Jiang Chen accelerated the speed Droplet to the maximum. He took Ayesha and enjoyed a swift and smooth ride under the sea. After playing for a while, he returned to New Moon Island before noon and parked the Droplet in the underground facility.
After returning home, Jiang Chen asked Ayesha to prepare lunch for three people. The extra one was prepared and packaged for Lin Lin.
Lin Lin did not contact him. It meant that the situation on the front line was not too bad. It seemed that Li Wang did not let him down and successfully hold the line of defense on Desperate Beach. As the result, the last thing he needed to do in Yizhou was transfer the space elevator base.
After lunch, Jiang Chen returned to the room and took a nap. At about two o?clock, he returned to the apocalypse.
…
When his return to the apocalypse, there was a triumphant cheer at Desperate Beach.
After more than forty hours of intense battle, the wall was finally completed. The soldiers who were on the front line, on the beach, began to withdraw in batches and climbed onto the cement wall. The Mud Crabs? shell was thick and heavy, their teeths and pliers were sharp, but they did not have the ability to climb walls.
The four-meter-high wall was simply an insurmountable iron wall for these creatures! As long as several machine guns and a dozen shooters were allocated to each wall, the Mud Crabs on the edge of the wall would be cleared in time. The Mud Crabs would never be able to cross the line of defense!
After the wall was completed, the survivors were equally relieved and collapsed on the ground.
As soon as the time turned to March 1st, the door of Fallout Shelter 79 closed based on schedule. All the people who still had ulterior motives immediately stopped. If the wall could not be completed in time, NAC people may not die, but they absolutely have nowhere to escape.
Fortunately, the wall was completed before that point.
When everything was over, even they themselves were in disbelief that the Month of Disaster this year, the nightmare for the island, was stopped like that?!
At four o?clock in the afternoon, reinforcements from Wanghai arrived at the battlefield. At this point, NAC had deployed more than 2,000 troops to the island. 1,000 soldiers were stationed on the wall in front of Desperate Beach. Another 1,000 entered the city with Tiger II tanks and took control of Town No.79.
When the NAC soldiers were seen by survivors, they welcomed the soldiers into the town with cheers. These people were the poor survivors that did not have enough crystals and they were rejected by the fallout shelter. Compared to the unrequited Fallout Shelter 79, the name NAC was naturally more prestigious.
Li Wang ordered a hundred soldiers to set up a line of defense at the entrance of the fallout shelter and blocked the only entrance.
Since they dared to cause trouble for the wall, they could not blame NAC?s ruthlessness.
With the establishment of the fence, NAC took over the line of defense in the northern part of the island, and Fallout Shelter 079 also had no need for its existence. As a result, the name of the township was also changed to Yizhou Town and was included in the economic zone of the NAC. The management model was still local people who manage the locals. The NAC would assign the executive officer to supervise and the garrison to maintain law and order.
As for who the mayor should be, Jiang Chen already had a candidate. He sent someone to Datun Nature Park and asked if Zhao Tianyu had any interest in being the mayor. After learning about the situation outside, Zhao Tianyu didn?t hesitate at all and accepted Jiang Chen?s invitation.
Before arriving in Yizhou and seeing Jiang Chen, he still couldn?t believe who he had thought was an ordinary mercenary but was actually the General of NAC!
However, the fact was that, after confirming this point, while being shocked, he felt like he dodged a bullet. Fortunately, he did not do anything hostile, otherwise he would not be invited to become the mayor now…
As for the NAC?s decision on Fallout Shelter 079, he also expressed his acceptance. Five years ago, he was not particularly favored in the fallout shelter. Five years later, he naturally had little loyalty left for the director.
After these trivial matters were settled, Jiang Chen then got in touch with the people at the White Beluga Station and agreed to transfer the space elevator to the western beach of Yizhou Island. The space elevator base, which was the size of several football fields, was disassembled into smaller pieces and were then packaged in containers and dropped to the bottom of the sea.
In addition, they also collected and shipped the rail wreckage.
In order to transport these things to the modern world, Jiang Chen spent a full two days. Over these two days he was on the sea floor almost every day, busy moving these treasures to the other world.
Graphene technology had made a breakthrough and Future Group has already established the theoretical basis for building a space elevator. Now with these ?garbage?s? help from the 22nd century, controlling the space elevator, the key to the era of the universe, was finally on the agenda.
