Chapter 606: Chapter 270 Super Nuclear Power Station_4 Chapter 606: Chapter 270 Super Nuclear Power Station_4 Yan Fei said, “Yes, the electricity issue is currently the most critical problem. It's not just vital for the operation of your laboratory, but it's also the bottleneck in the development of our entire Misty Island.”
The thermal power station on Misty Island had been operating at its limit. To ensure the island's electricity supply, Yan Fei had also started a large number of diesel generators, but the power supply on the island was still in a tense situation. Therefore, electricity had become the most urgent problem that Yan Fei needed to solve.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Qi said, “I previously designed a nuclear power station, which in my design has a very strong electricity generation capacity. Once built, it will be able to meet the entire energy needs of Misty Island. However, this nuclear power station is just a concept I've devised, and it has not been put into practice yet, but in theory, there should be no problems. If you can meet the requirements for the special equipment to build a nuclear power station, I could definitely get this power station built.”
Because of some accidents that had happened at nuclear power stations around the world, Yan Fei distrusted them somewhat and expressed his concerns, “But nuclear power stations cause significant environmental pollution. In the event of an unforeseen accident, if nuclear fuel leaks, the sheer amount of radiation could be devastating for Misty Island. Plus, the disposal of nuclear waste is a global problem.”
Yang Qi replied, “That is an outdated view. The nuclear power station I've designed is at least fifty years ahead of the current nuclear technology and can be called a Super Nuclear Power Station. In my design, this Super Nuclear Power Station features safety, cleanliness, and high efficiency. Even if it is sabotaged or attacked, the nuclear reactor inside will immediately shut down and protect the nuclear fuel, so there will be no risk of a leak. Moreover, it utilizes nuclear energy very thoroughly, as it can burn all of the nuclear fuel completely. That is to say, this Super Nuclear Power Station will not produce any nuclear waste, so there will be no problem of dealing with nuclear waste. Lastly, this Super Nuclear Power Station has an incredibly strong electricity generation capacity, which is more than ten times the capacity of China's largest Shanxia Power Station.”
Yan Fei was shocked in his heart, as he came to understand the terrifying features of the Super Nuclear Power Station that Yang Qi had designed. To know, Shanxia Power Station is the biggest power station in China, producing 80 billion kilowatt-hours per year, with ten times more that amounting to 800 billion kilowatt-hours. China's annual power generation is a little less than 7 trillion kilowatt-hours, which means that this Super Nuclear Power Station alone would account for more than 10% of China's energy production. It was a truly terrifying prospect. With so much energy, the energy crisis of Misty Island would be completely resolved. Not only that, this Super Nuclear Power Station was very safe and would not cause any pollution to Misty Island, making it the ideal energy source for Yan Fei.
Yan Fei, struggling to contain his excitement, asked, “Has your Super Nuclear Power Station been tested through the technology extrapolation system?”
Yang Qi's Super Nuclear Power Station's claimed generation capacity was so exaggerated that it even surpassed the legendary nuclear fusion power plants. Therefore, Yan Fei was still somewhat concerned; after all, human designs could always have flaws, and only the technology extrapolation system could guarantee perfection. So, he asked whether the power station had been validated by the technology extrapolation system. Technology verified by the technology extrapolation system would be mature and signify that the power station could truly be constructed.
Yang Qi shook his head and said, “It's just a previous concept of mine and has not been tested through the technology extrapolation system. But, if you decide to start building this nuclear power station, I will immediately run a validation to ensure that it's fail-safe.”
