Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 631 Tripartite Energy
Puyang, the 212 Nuclear Power Plant of the Third Series.

After listening to his secretary's report, Yu Yang also inquired about other projects.

Zhang Lei is just one of the outstanding talents cultivated by the three departments.

There are at least tens of thousands of rising stars like Zhang Lei in the factory.

If Zhang Lei can create a 'concept industry,' then others naturally have their own projects as well.

For example, the graphene industry.

Entering 07, Europe and the United States successively achieved mass production of graphene. The price of graphene, which was originally 100 RMB/gram, dropped to 90 RMB/gram. Sanyuan Building Materials immediately announced that it had achieved a major breakthrough in graphene refining technology and adjusted the graphene supply price to 2 RMB/gram through the trade hall.

This move led to the bankruptcy of most of the graphene research and production companies in Europe and the United States overnight. The surviving companies all needed government funding and support to survive.

This also transformed graphene from a 'luxury item' into a 'consumer product'.

In the past, there were no restrictions on the supply of graphene within the Tri-system.

Whether it's companies within the three departments, the Hundred Schools Alliance, or companies surrounding the three departments, you can research them freely; there are as many as you need.

Therefore, after the price of graphene dropped, companies, faculty and student teams, and outstanding individuals holding related projects were as if a seal had been broken.

In the field of graphene refrigeration, we have launched graphene refrigerators, graphene cooling clothing, graphene fever-reducing patches, graphene cooling compresses, etc.

In the field of graphene heating, we have launched graphene bathroom heaters, graphene electric stoves, graphene electric baseboards, graphene cookware, graphene heat therapy patches, etc.

In the field of graphene batteries, we have launched ternary lithium batteries with graphene electrodes—for faster charging; ternary lithium batteries with graphene conductive additives—for higher energy storage density; ternary bio-batteries using graphene solid-state refrigerants; ternary fuel cells using graphene catalysts; and solar cells using transparent graphene electrodes (replacing ITO, improving efficiency and flexibility)...
In the field of graphene composite materials, we have launched graphene body panels—for a more premium appearance; graphene body components—for lighter and stronger construction; graphene body interiors—for warmth in winter and coolness in summer, and for flame retardancy; bicycle frames—for lighter and stiffer construction; helmets; golf clubs; reinforced concrete; reinforced coating materials; bulletproof vests; aircraft skin; satellite components…

In the field of graphene biomedicine, we have launched graphene sensors, graphene biomimetic organs, graphene neural interfaces, graphene antibacterial materials, etc.

In the field of graphene filtration and separation, we have launched devices for water treatment, air purification, corrosion prevention, wear resistance, and antifouling.

And Sanyuan High-Tech, which launched the most important three-series graphene chip.

Graphene has extremely high electron mobility, tens or hundreds of times that of silicon. If graphene is used to manufacture transistors, the speed of the next generation of carbon-based CPUs will be tens or hundreds of times faster than that of existing silicon-based CPUs under the same manufacturing process. However, the development of carbon-based chips is extremely difficult and will take at least 20 years.

However, Sanxi Technology takes the vacuum tube route. It is not difficult to manufacture vacuum tubes using graphene. In fact, as early as five years ago, they had already achieved the 'Sanxi graphene vacuum tube' and applied it to fields such as ultra-high speed transistors, flexible electronic device displays, etc.

With the recent significant price reduction of graphene, the 3-series graphene chip, also known as the 3-series central processing unit, has officially transitioned from military and commercial applications to miniaturized civilian consumer products.

Although the manufacturing process of miniaturized products is still at 120nm, the superior performance resulting from the unique architecture, superconducting materials, Chinese system, and three AI algorithms can surpass silicon-based chips above 10nm.

If we add the entirely new service experience brought by the 'three-system industrial chain → three-system ecosystem', as well as the three-system wearable electronic devices, such as the basic AR glasses reduced to 998 RMB, the basic brain-computer interface reduced to 1.88 RMB, and the whole-house smart home reduced to 2.6 RMB...
The new generation of three-series terminals will inevitably completely crush Western technology products.

Besides graphene.

Other features include three systems for vacuum tube lighting and display, three systems for resource recycling, and three systems for data storage...

It can be said that, with the support of a series of projects, the world will undergo tremendous changes, from daily life to biomedicine to aerospace.

This will also verify that "the three-system manned lunar landing, like the Apollo program, promotes the progress of all mankind".

But no matter how society changes, no matter how much human progress is made, at this stage, there is one thing that is indispensable.

That is, electricity.

Furthermore, the more developed a society is, the greater the demand.

Just like the three-system.

If nearly two hundred nuclear power plants of varying sizes and more than a dozen super-large hydroelectric dams are not built within five years, projects such as the three-line high-speed rail, Agriculture 3.0, the three-element communication network, and the three-line electric vehicles will not be able to operate.

Without a basic industry, transportation and trade would lag behind, and the three systems would not have developed so quickly.

···
Yu Yang, along with his secretary and Dao Yi and Seng Yi, who replaced Chang Fu and Chang Shou as bodyguards after their whereabouts were made public, walked along the tree-lined path of the nuclear power plant and arrived at the dispatch center of the Puyang No. 3 212 nuclear power plant.

After verifying my identity, I entered the hall, where the nuclear power plant manager, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly came to greet me.

All of the current nuclear power plants in the three series originated from the 'first-level municipal hall'.

Or rather, it's a system unit; otherwise, the three systems simply couldn't have produced so many in such a short time.

However, due to the influence of the '80s technology tree', strictly speaking, the three-system nuclear power plants can only be considered as 'second-generation nuclear power technology using pressurized water reactors'.

But shipyards can refine materials, blacksmith shops can perform high-precision machining, and steel furnaces can cast ultra-large integrated castings…

Furthermore, the talent pool recruited by the Third System allows for independent research and development, which has led to rapid advancements in the Third System's nuclear power technology.

Ultimately, after a series of tests at the Leestown nuclear power plant, the company developed a fourth-generation nuclear energy technology based on the 'system unit - nuclear power plant', which is still in use today.

The head of the 212 nuclear power plant explained:

"Our factory, leveraging the electronics industry in Puyang and the e-commerce industry in Hangaixi, has taken the lead worldwide in achieving central heating—which can control the heating volume of each household; central power supply—AI-based power distribution; network collaboration—cooperation among multiple nuclear power plants; and multi-energy applications—energy storage, energy conversion, modular energy transportation, etc."

"This move will not only make the three-system nuclear energy industry more flexible and intelligent, enabling it to achieve an installed capacity of 1000MWe, but also play the role of the 1200MWe installed capacity of traditional power plants and first and second generation nuclear power plants."

"This also makes the whole system closer to fifth-generation nuclear energy."

"Currently, with the support of Sanyuan High-Tech, our factory is focusing its efforts on tackling nuclear fusion technology. The nuclear fusion reactor based on the high temperature start-up of nuclear fission can now operate stably for 3 days, and it is expected to operate stably for a month by the end of next year."

"At that time, the power supply and demand situation within Fan County will serve as a pilot area for the nuclear fusion power generation project..."

While listening, Yu Yang checked the nuclear power plant's operational status through a 3D bird's-eye view.

The reason why the three nuclear power plants are 'safe' is entirely due to the 3D bird's-eye view.

Because if a problem occurs at a nuclear power plant, a warning will appear on the 3D bird's-eye view.

For example, if the wastewater exceeds the standard, a bunch of exclamation marks will appear on the screen, and a lot of angry expressions will appear in the surrounding residential areas.

For example, when exhaust fumes exceed the standard, in addition to exclamation marks and angry emojis, residents in residential areas will also see symbols of covering their noses.

For example, if components of a nuclear power plant wear out or a problem occurs in the reactor, the entire facility will display durability and danger countdown information. Therefore, the three-system nuclear power plants always maintain 100% "health bar" and 100% zero pollution.

After enduring special events such as pirate attacks and missile bombings, and after six years of stable operation, it has gained worldwide recognition.

Even in North America, which opposes the three-system nuclear power, in Europe, which is known for its high standards, and even in some regions that oppose nuclear energy, the three-system nuclear power plants are beyond reproach.

Just like France.

First, they bombed their own nuclear power plant, then they demolished their own thermal power plant. Now, after a winter, influenced by public opinion, they have no choice but to import a nuclear power plant from the Sanxi system and invite Sanyuan Construction to undertake the entire project.

Yu Yang followed the director of the 212 nuclear power plant on a quick tour. After inspecting the dispatch center, he put on a protective suit weighing 80 kilograms, sat on the middle crossbeam of an "H"-shaped self-propelled robot, and walked into the control area of ​​the nuclear fission reactor to learn about "using the high temperature of nuclear fission to start the nuclear fusion reactor".

Also view the upgrade list for 'Level 2 City Hall'.

First-level municipal hall - nuclear power plant (nuclear fission reactor) →
Level 2 Municipal Hall - Nuclear Power Plant (Nuclear Fusion Reactor):
Based on the 2030 technology tree, you will be able to use the thermal energy generated by nuclear fusion reactions to generate electricity, a technology that is safer and more energy-efficient than nuclear fission reactions.

Furthermore, it can be separated from 'boiling water' and use the high-energy charged particles released by fusion to directly interact with the magnetic coil to generate current, with an energy conversion rate of no less than 95%.

Pre-construction technology: Level 1 Municipal Hall - Nuclear Power Plant.

Construction requirement: Level 2 Town Hall (currently 65% ​​complete).

···
noon.

After learning about the nuclear fusion project, Yu Yang listened to researchers in the restaurant about some other applications of 'nuclear fusion', such as artificial sun, neutron source technology, cancer treatment, and isotope production.

After leaving Factory 212, we arrived at the Puyang Electronic Industrial Park, which was on May Day holiday.

As one of the three regions, it also dominates the R&D, production, and OEM of the electronics industry in the three regions.

This place was first influenced by the 'successful manned lunar landing of the third system, a great advancement in human technology'.

Just like non-factory personnel walking on the street.

At least eight out of ten wore AR glasses, and the other half had brain-computer interface patches hidden inside their collars.

Of course, both AR glasses and brain-computer interface patches available on the market come in different versions.

The basic AR glasses have a standard camera and standard headphones, and the basic brain-computer interface can only recognize 24 commonly used commands.

The Pro version of the AR glasses features a high-definition camera and high-fidelity headphones. The Pro version of the brain-computer interface can recognize 64 commonly used commands.

In addition to having a better camera and headphones, the Pro Max AR glasses also feature infrared sensing, 3D structured light scanning, radar sharing, and more. The Pro Max brain-computer interface can recognize 128 commonly used commands.

Yu Yang walked along the main road and visited the Sanxi card issuing center, SY terminal store, Bawang Technology store, MT Watcher experience store, and Titan Technology experience store, where he learned about the new Sanxi products from various brands.

I also visited Samsung mobile phone stores, Apple authorized reseller stores, Obi Oriental offline malls, Orange Technology physical stores, Lianxiang specialty stores, DIY assembly cities, Suning Mall, and so on, to take a look at the new products that overseas brands have urgently put on the shelves.

In general, because Sanxi Electronics and Western Electronics follow different technological paths, they are like being on different tracks, which leads to huge differences in the design and use of their products.

For example, the three-system terminals focus more on practicality, including identity recognition, online payment, instant translation, agricultural assistance, trade assistance, and learning assistance.

For example, Western electronics focus more on entertainment, including AI chat, online video and audio, various games, and futures and stock trading.

Therefore, we arrived at 07.

The Sanxi Electronics has gradually evolved into a 'feature phone' that makes it increasingly convenient for users to use various things in their daily lives.

Just like online shopping, it can filter what users want based on their preferences.

It's similar to offline tourism; it can update regional information at any time and provide any assistance.

Western electronics evolved into a 'camera', 'player', or 'game console'.

They are increasingly focusing on CPU performance, camera capabilities, and speaker size.

This is also a unique advantage of Western technology in the fight against the three-system electronic systems; otherwise, how could they compete with the three-system terminals?
Therefore, in recent years, games dominated by Western technology have become increasingly larger, with higher resolution photos and more complex sound effects.

Furthermore, games dominated by Western technology are not compatible with the three-system terminals.

Just like World of Warcraft.

The game requires data reading, scene loading, and re-rendering when switching scenes, also known as 'scene transitions,' which puts a heavy strain on CPU speed, memory speed, and graphics card performance.

However, the structure of the three-system terminal is completely opposite. It can be said that it only has a graphics card and video memory, so the three-system terminal cannot run World of Warcraft.

If it is to run, the 'three-system terminal version of World of Warcraft' must be redesigned.

Like a Windows app, it cannot run on Apple computers.
Windows, Apple, and Android apps also cannot run on these three platforms.

This is equivalent to a battle for the software ecosystem, used to attract developers, and also to a battle for sales volume, used to bind consumers.

Western technology is already at a disadvantage, and it is impossible for them to use their strengths to enhance the three-system electronics.

Therefore, none of the three consoles, whether handhelds or all-in-ones, have ever obtained licenses from any Western game, camera, or speaker brands, not even the Little Motor.

Even in the past few years, the three series have been compatible with 3G mobile phone applications, and 3G mobile phones have been compatible with the three series applications. The three companies have even reached cooperation and signed a series of agreements.

Since the brand owners wouldn't grant authorization, the 3 Series brand couldn't very well try to snatch it away, and ultimately failed to obtain authorization.

It can only be said that the two sides are at odds on the surface, but not on the inside.

Nowadays, the three-system electronics industry is experiencing a major boom, pushing 'function' to the extreme and starting to move towards 'micro-terminals + Internet of Things'. Western electronics, which have been left far behind, are starting to panic.

Therefore, Yu Yang came to the street office of Puyang Electronic Industrial Park.

Looking up, I saw countless overseas electronics brands gathered in the square outside.
