Nuclear fusion generators, to put it in more technical terms, should be called nuclear fusion reactors.
However, the wardrobe sized size made it difficult to associate it with the size of a small house in a nuclear power plant.
But the fact was that nuclear fusion reactors in the 22nd century were generally this size. Although not as small as the reactor installed in Iron Man's chest, with the current level of technology, these five nuclear fusion reactors were still an unimaginable miracle.
That's right, a phenomenon that couldn't be described with current knowledge could only be described as a miracle.
This was all the thoughts of Penglai's Minister of Power, Mr. Zhang Haiwang. When he saw this generator deployed in the power room, he personally connected it to the power grid, personally placed the deuterium storage tank in the energy tank, and personally pressed the switch for test operation …
For a moment, he felt that the knowledge he learned for decades was no different from primitive craftsmanship.
One generator was enough to meet the lighting of the entire city. Two generators were enough to meet the power demand of the entire city. The remaining three were only used as backup when the other two generators failed or needed maintenance. However, this situation would almost never occur. Clearwater Nuclear Power Plant was a strategic storage facility. The safety and self-operation of the reactor were the top priority. The designer had already solved these possible problems on the drawings.
After the nuclear fusion generator was placed, the staff was allowed to re-enter the closed floor. Everyone was guessing why these three floors had to be temporarily sealed, but no one could guess the reason.
"Can I ask about the cost of producing these deuterium? I can set a new price for electricity. "When the installation work was completed, Zhang Haiwang asked another key question.
Cost? It was a difficult problem because Jiang Chen didn't spend a single cent to obtain the nuclear fuel.
After a moment of silence, he said.
"The cost of deuterium production is difficult to calculate. I can't give you an accurate figure. However, one thing is certain, the cost of nuclear fusion power is only one-tenth of wind power. As for the electricity price, you can refer to the electricity price of Coro Island and lower it. Nominally, Future Group will provide electricity subsidies to Penglai City. "
Nuclear fusion power generation technology was a confidential matter and naturally couldn't be disclosed to the public. Even though the cancellation of the ocean current generator and seaweed power generation project could easily arouse suspicion, it wasn't enough to make people think of nuclear energy, let alone nuclear fusion.
After all, Jiang Chen could still bullshit to the media. He could say that Penglai City adopted the latest tidal power generators and installed them in every corner of Penglai Island with an investment of XX billion USD. Anyway, it was not up to him.
As for the spies who came to the island, it was the work of the Ghost Agents, and he didn't need to worry too much about it.
After dealing with the nuclear fusion generator, Jiang Chen left Penglai with Ayesha. However, he did not immediately return to New Moon Island. Instead, he turned on the panoramic imaging function. The four curved walls of the cabin turned into transparent glass, and the two people inside the water droplet looked like they were standing in a transparent water droplet.
Jiang Chen increased the cruising speed of the Droplet to the maximum and enjoyed the pleasure of shuttling under the sea. After a while, they returned to New Moon Island before noon and parked the Droplet in the underground facility.
Back home, Jiang Chen asked Ayesha to prepare lunch for three, and the extra one was packed for Lin Lin.
Lin Lin did not contact him, which meant that the situation on the front line was not bad. It seemed that Li Wang did not disappoint him and successfully defended Desperate Beach. As a result, the last thing he needed to do on Yizhou Island was to transfer the base of the space elevator.
After lunch, Jiang Chen returned to his room to take a nap. At about two o 'clock, he returned to the apocalypse.
…
When he returned to the apocalypse, cheers of victory were erupting on Desperate Beach.
After more than forty hours of fierce battle, the wall was finally completed. The soldiers who built the front line on the beach began to retreat in batches and climbed the high wall made of cement. The Mud Crabs had thick shells, sharp teeth, and sharp claws, but they had no ability to climb.
The four-meter-tall wall was like an insurmountable iron wall to these beasts! As long as a few machine guns and a dozen shooters were allocated to each section of the wall to clear the Mud Crabs on the edge of the wall in time, then these Mud Crabs would never be able to cross the line of defense!
After the wall was completed, the survivors were also relieved and collapsed on the sand.
As soon as July 1st arrived, the door of Fallout Shelter 79 closed as scheduled, and all the people who were still plotting suddenly stopped. If the wall was not repaired, the NAC people might not die, but they absolutely had nowhere to escape.
Fortunately, the wall was completed before the line of defense collapsed.
When everything was over, even they themselves couldn't believe it. This year's Month of Disaster, the nightmare that descended on the island, was stopped just like that?!
At four o 'clock in the afternoon, reinforcements from Wanghai arrived on the battlefield. At this point, NAC deployed more than two thousand troops on Yizhou Island. One thousand of them were stationed on the wall in front of Desperate Beach, and the other one thousand followed the Tiger II tank into the city and took over control of Town No. 79.
When they saw the NAC soldiers, the survivors welcomed them into the town with cheers. These people were poor survivors, and because they did not pay enough crystals, they were rejected by the fallout shelter. Compared with the inhumane Fallout Shelter 79, the name NAC was naturally more prestigious.
Li Wang ordered one 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 play tricks on the wall, they couldn't blame NAC for being ruthless.
With the wall established, NAC took over the line of defense in the north of Yizhou Island, and Fallout Shelter 79 no longer needed to exist. As a result, the name of the town was also changed to Yizhou Town, and it was included in the economic zone of NAC. The management model was still the locals managing the locals, NAC dispatched executives to supervise, and the garrison maintained law and order.
As for who would be the mayor, Jiang Chen already had a candidate in mind. He sent someone to Datun Nature Park to ask Zhao Tianyu if he was interested in being the mayor. After learning about the situation outside, Zhao Tianyu accepted Jiang Chen's invitation without hesitation.
Before arriving at Yizhou and seeing Jiang Chen, he couldn't believe that the man he thought was an ordinary mercenary was actually the General of NAC!
However, this was the truth. When he confirmed this, he couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, he didn't make any hostile moves, otherwise he wouldn't be invited to be the mayor now …
As for NAC's decision on Fallout Shelter 79, he also expressed his acceptance. Five years ago, he wasn't a particularly well-liked person in the fallout shelter. Now, five years later, he naturally didn't have any loyalty to the director.
After settling these trivial matters, Jiang Chen then contacted the people at the Beluga Station and agreed to hand over the space elevator on the western beach of Yizhou Island. The base of the space elevator, which covered an area of several football fields, was dismantled into small pieces, packaged in containers, and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
In addition, they also packed and transported the orbital debris that could be collected.
In order to transport these things to the modern world, Jiang Chen spent a full two days. He spent almost every day at the bottom of the sea these two days, busy throwing these treasures to the modern world.
Graphene technology had made a breakthrough, and Future Group already had the theoretical basis to build a space elevator. Now with the help of these "junk" picked up from the 22nd century, mastering the space elevator, the key to the universe era, was just around the corner!
