Chapter 961 (1/2)

After three days in Kuala Lumpur, Jiang Chen returned to Koro island on his Gulfstream G650 to prepare for his next trip.

Shortly after he returned home, star ring trade sent engineering ships to the sea area between ANGA island and Singapore Malaysia Special Administrative Region to start underwater construction. It's a lot more troublesome to lay this kind of submarine transmission line than to build an overhead transmission line on land, but for the star ring trade, which is often engaged in submarine engineering, this trouble is nothing at all.

The person in charge of the project assured Jiang Chen that the transmission line could be completed by the end of March at the latest.

On the other side of the lunar colony, Tang Weijie, the landlord of the colony, assured Jiang Chen by video phone that the laying of long-distance power transmission equipment would be completed by the end of this month. In terms of the star ring city, the device used to receive the laser is also under construction.

Kelvin assured Jiang Chen that electricity from the lunar nuclear fusion power station would be used throughout the territory of New Zealand by mid March at the latest. The nuclear power station in Koro, which has been criticized for a long time, can also withdraw from the stage of history.

Jiang spent almost all February on the plane.

After Malaysia agreed to connect its own power grid with the new country, the negotiations between star ring trade and Australia, India, Japan, South Korea and other countries are also in progress.

As Jiang Chen expected, no one can refuse the electricity price of 1.2 cents per kilowatt hour, which is so huge that the profit margin is unimaginable. Some people speculate that the ring trade uses solar energy, while others suspect that there are a lot of uranium and plutonium isotopes on bernu asteroid, but no one thinks about nuclear fusion.

Because it is so difficult to achieve nuclear fusion, no material can withstand the reaction temperature of tens of millions of degrees required for nuclear fusion. But the cold fusion in the legend, the realization condition is more harsh, even has been harsh to the scope of science fiction.

In fact, even in the 22nd century, there was no material that could withstand tens of millions of degrees of heat.

If there were such materials, it would not be a problem to fly into the sun to mine. After all, the central temperature of the sun is only 20 million degrees Celsius.

But in the not so distant future, there is a magic technology that can confine particles in a certain space and keep them out of contact with other materials while maintaining their own high temperature. Instead of the traditional material container, it is held by an invisible hand.

That's magnetic confinement.

But even with magnetic confinement, fusion power generation is still an almost impossible problem for most people. The device of restraining charged particles by magnetic confinement was born as early as the end of the 20th century. But using magnetic confinement to confine the uncharged helium 3 and deuterium, the particle theory involved in this is beyond the explanation of current physics.

In short, the negotiation with Australia was successful. The Australian side agreed to build the submarine cable, but insisted that the construction and maintenance of the submarine cable must be handed over to Australian enterprises. Jiang Chen gladly accepted the proposal, and really had to hand it over to the offshore construction team of star ring trade. They could not spare their hands. They could only schedule the construction period until the completion of the submarine cable between ANGA island and Xinma SAR.

Australia's annual electricity generation is almost twice that of Malaysia, close to 400 billion kwh. Moreover, due to institutional reasons, Australia did not interfere more in the negotiation between star ring trade and domestic enterprises as Malaysia did in terms of the specific amount of electricity imported.

Australia's electricity is basically monopolized by two major companies. AGL, which is committed to the development of new energy resources, is quite generous. After hearing Jiang Chen's offer, it signed a contract of 100 billion kilowatt hours without saying a word and asked for the priority of cooperation in the Australian market.

This southern hemisphere market will bring more than a billion Australian dollars to the star ring trade every year.

As for India, the negotiations are much smoother.

As the fifth largest emerging economy in the world, India's annual electricity subsidy is a terrible figure. However, during the negotiation with India, Jiang Chen completely felt what was called Moji. It is clear that the price has been negotiated, but the whole negotiation is inexplicable.

In the end, Jiang Chen simply left the follow-up work of the negotiation to the future people's Bank in India branch. The professional negotiators represented the whole negotiation, and then he left for Japan.

He has a lot of work to do, and he has no time to waste in one place.
