s: I’m asking for votes at the beginning of the month.
If you have votes, come over.
Thank you everyone.
"What's the current situation at Helanshan No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant?"
Wen Desi asked.
Gu Xiaolan replied: "Mr.
Wen, Helanshan No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant is now operating normally.
From the start-up on October 1 last year, to the power generation reaching the design indicator of 500 megawatts on the 3rd, it has been operating stably for three months."
Since Gu Xiaolan Lu took maternity leave, and now the secretary-general's job is to act as Gu Xiaolan's agent.
Wen Desi nodded and said: "Well, after half a year of normal operation, we will start the construction of No. 2 and No. 3.
In this way, the power consumption of the Helan Mountain Base can be fully used."
The so-called "Helan Mountain Base" is a black technology base in China, located next to Helan Mountain and on the edge of the Tengger Desert in Suiyuan Province.
It mainly focuses on research and experiments in nuclear physics.
It is also the location of the world's only uranium refinery.
For this base, Mr.
Wen built a dedicated railway and a dedicated highway here, and built a dedicated water pipeline network.
Unlike the United States in the original time and space, in Wen Desi's nuclear plan, solving the energy problem is the main purpose, and the mass murderer is just a by-product.
He is not in a hurry to build an atomic bomb at all.
On the one hand, there is no pressure from war, and on the other hand, he despises such things as atomic bombs.
Because the side effects of this first-generation nuclear weapon are so great that a place cannot recover after being hit for many years.
For a person whose goal is to conquer, this kind of weapon is really not a good choice.
For Wen Desi, things like large-scale killing weapons should either be used in good condition or not used.
Therefore, in his opinion, a clean version of the killer weapon, that is, the third and fourth generation killer weapons of later generations, is the best choice for a conqueror.
If atomic bombs are used, even if a piece of land is destroyed, it will not be used for a long time.
There is no difference between that and not being destroyed.
When it comes to killing personnel, there are too many methods, and there is no need to limit our sights to atomic bombs.
What Mr.
Wen wants is land that can be used as soon as it is conquered, not a radioactive wasteland.
Therefore, for him, things like atomic bombs are just technical reserves.
At most, they are a deterrent force before the advent of new nuclear weapons, rather than weapons that are actually used in actual combat.
"Clean, reliable, and minimal side effects" are not only Wen Desi's requirements for nuclear weapons, but also for nuclear power plants.
So the experimental nuclear power plant that was launched last year is a first- and second-generation nuclear power plant that skipped the original time and space and went directly to the third generation.
You know, for the 23rd century, fission nuclear power plants have been eliminated for more than a hundred years.
There is a lot of information on the market, and there is a complete set of information and drawings from various countries in the world in the General Wen Base.
To put it bluntly, in President Wen's era, as long as there were enough raw materials and equipment, even high school students could build a fission-type nuclear power plant.
Therefore, in his eyes, there is no difficulty in designing a fission nuclear power plant.
The only thing that takes time to reproduce is the special materials and equipment.
If it weren't for this reason, it would have been possible to build a nuclear power plant a few years ago.
There would be no need to wait until last year.
Wen Desi believes that first-generation graphite reactors and second-generation boiling water reactor nuclear power plants are completely unqualified and immature products.
He will never use them.
He does not want to have a "Chernobyl incident" or "Chernobyl Incident" in his own country.
"Fuwa Incident".
However, even the third-generation nuclear power station is only experimental in Mr.
Wen's eyes and still cannot be used for commercial operations.

In his view, if it is to be put into commercial operation for civilian use, it must be at least a fourth-generation closed-cycle breeding nuclear power system.
Of course, it is entirely possible for third-generation nuclear power plants to be used in current scientific research and military fields.
Not to mention anything else, just the massive electricity bills for producing atomic bombs can save a lot.
After dealing with the nuclear project, Wen Desi asked: "How is the progress of high-energy iron batteries?"
"There is no problem with high-energy iron batteries in theory now, and samples have been made.
The best sample has an energy density of 800 watt-hours per kilogram.
What needs to be solved now is the process problem of mass production."
Gu Xiaolan flipped through his handheld computer replied.
In Wen Desi's energy plan, in addition to nuclear power plants, another key project is "battery".
Of course, this is not an ordinary battery, but a high-performance battery with an energy density of over 600whkg.
Batteries are very important, but their progress has been slow.
There has been no major breakthrough in more than a hundred years since its birth, and the energy density has only tripled.
It was not until the mid-21st century that revolutionary developments occurred.
Wen Desi, who had complete information about later generations, certainly did not want to make any more detours.
The "high-energy iron battery" they are talking about is a new type of battery that appeared in the 2020s of the original time and space, with an energy density of 600 watt-hours per kilogram.
The raw materials of batteries are mainly iron, sodium and sulfur, as well as stabilizing additives composed of rare earth elements.
The raw materials are easy to obtain and not expensive.
But the process is more complicated, because sodium is a very dangerous metal.
It needs to be fused with iron and sulfur under vacuum conditions and then crystallized in a certain direction.
After being pressed into thin sheets, a certain proportion of stable activated groups must be formed through processes such as magnetization.
The higher the proportion of activated groups, the greater the storage capacity.
The more stable it is, the more times it can be recharged.
According to the evaluation of our experts, as long as the material handling and equipment problems are solved for 600whkg high-energy batteries, there will definitely be no problems in production.
As long as the current material and equipment problems are solved, there will be absolutely no problem in manufacturing batteries that can reach the level of the 23rd century, or the level of the mid-21st century.
Once you have this kind of battery, many problems can be solved.
For example, conventional submarines have used lead-acid batteries for a long time, and the energy density of this battery is only about 40whkg, which results in the underwater endurance of conventional submarines being too low.
The energy density of later generations of advanced batteries such as lithium ion can reach 200whkg, but the price is extremely impressive, and there are also issues such as service life and safety.
So we know that at the beginning of the 21st century, conventional submarines still used lead-acid batteries.
But if high-energy batteries are installed on submarines, the underwater endurance of conventional submarines can be increased to 15 times.
For example, a submarine using lead-acid batteries can travel up to 20 nautical miles at top speed underwater, while a submarine using this high-energy battery can travel at least 300 nautical miles.
This is incredible progress.
Then there are vehicles.
Once this kind of battery is put into practical use, many buses, taxis and other civilian vehicles that are mainly engaged in urban transportation and run not too far away can be replaced by electric vehicles.
Whether in terms of environmental protection or operating costs, they have incomparable advantages over fuel vehicles.
As for the many other uses, there are no examples one by one.
"So, how long will it take to achieve mass production?"
Wen Desi asked.
"According to the estimates of the institute, it will take about one to two years.
You know, most of the information in our database is popular information.
Except for metallurgy and exploration, the information in other fields cannot be too professional. .
For this kind of battery, we have detailed formulas and production processes, but we don’t have detailed production equipment drawings.
How to implement it requires a little bit of experimentation,” Gu Xiaolan explained.
"Hey, I know that too.
Those information can only help us avoid detours and have the right direction when climbing the technology tree, but we still have to rely on our own strength to walk."
Wen Desi also expressed his understanding.

He couldn't expect too much from this.
After all, Xingke Company before time travel was just a mining and metallurgical company, and it wasn't specialized in making batteries.
It was good to have this information.
In January this year, the Semiconductor Research Institute took out a related by-product of silicon wafer research, which is solar cells.
In fact, in 1912 they had already made a solar cell with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of about 7.
However, Wen Desi was not satisfied and allocated a large sum of money to allow them to continue their research.
In 1914, they came up with a product with a conversion efficiency of 15 and used it on satellites, but it was only produced in small quantities.
This year they finally came up with a product with an efficiency of 20, and the laboratory product can reach 25.
Wen Desi knew that this was almost reaching its limit, and that going further would not be possible with current technology, so he finalized it for mass production.
And let them continue to reproduce gallium arsenide second-generation solar cells and dye solar cells that are less efficient but cheaper.
What China is currently developing is monocrystalline silicon solar cells, which have high conversion efficiency.
However, due to the high cost and price of monocrystalline silicon, it is difficult to significantly reduce its cost.
It can only be used in some relatively high-end applications, such as satellites, and is difficult to popularize. .
In order to save silicon materials and reduce costs, it is still necessary to develop polycrystalline silicon thin film and amorphous silicon thin film solar cells.
For the utilization of solar energy, it is not just solar cells.
There are also solar water heaters that are common in later generations.
They also obtained patents from various countries at the beginning of last year and were officially launched on the market.
This is a common type of vacuum tube solar water heater in later generations.
It is composed of heat collecting tubes, water storage tanks, brackets and other related parts.
The conversion of solar energy into heat energy mainly relies on vacuum heat collecting tubes.
The vacuum heat collecting tubes use the principle that hot water floats up and cold water sinks.
Make the water produce microcirculation to achieve the required hot water.
Now this kind of solar water heater has been selling well in various countries.
Last year, 800,000 units were exported.
If it were not for the impact of the European War, the current sales would be even better. 430,000 units have also been sold in the domestic market, mainly in the south or areas with long sunshine hours.
Now a large number of military, government agencies, enterprises and institutions, hotels, bathhouses and other places have installed this new gadget.
Everyone is very interested in this kind of thing that can provide hot water without burning coal and firewood.
In addition, the national income has increased year by year in recent years, everyone has extra money in their pockets, and their desire to consume has also greatly increased.
Domestic sales are expected to reach 1 million units this year, and exports will exceed 2 million units.
In addition to these, Wen Desi's energy plan also includes the use of various energy sources such as wind energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, etc., which are not listed here
