Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 3041 It's like it's sprouted wings
An Zhongsheng and Guan Zhiyong were the first to succeed in obtaining an electricity permit from Yang Xiaotao, and it was an unlimited supply, which immediately made everyone restless.

Bai Jingshu coughed lightly, preparing to speak again, but before the cough could even finish, Chang Mingjie shouted, "Director Yang, I think we need to increase the production of CNC machine tools."

Bai Jingshu glared at them, thinking, "Can't these scoundrels be a little more humble?"

But as it turns out, none of the men in these nine films actually possessed such virtues.

At least not now.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao's attention had been drawn away, Bai Jingshu could only grip his clothes tightly, determined to be faster next time.

"The production of CNC machine tools definitely needs to be increased."

Yang Xiaotao's words made Chang Mingjie extremely happy.

"This time we have cooperation with Persia and the desert, and CNC machine tools will also become export goods."

"Previously, production was insufficient due to various reasons. Now that the energy problem has been solved, it is time to consider the development of new models."

"Minister Yang, we have the same plan."

Chang Mingjie said happily, "As you know, our Galaxy No. 1 doesn't use the best machine tools. To put it bluntly, it's a product that had to lower its requirements in order to adapt to 'CNC' capabilities."

"With the rapid advancements in computer technology, we thought we could take the initial template and try it out, applying it to new computers and Mercury machine tools to see if we could make better CNC machine tools."

Yang Xiaotao naturally agreed with Chang Mingjie's suggestion.

"Yes, this idea is feasible."

"We took a compromise approach earlier. Now we are constantly developing. Computers, machine tools, alloy materials, steel, and so on are all constantly developing. Research on CNC machine tools must also keep up with the pace."

“You’ve thought this through very well; it’s time to put it on the agenda.”

Chang Mingjie nodded in agreement, then looked hopefully at Yang Xiaotao, "Well, Director Yang, about the electricity..."

Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "Use it freely."

"Okay, thank you, Director Yang."

Chang Mingjie finally heard Yang Xiaotao's accurate answer. With this, their machine tool factory could start receiving orders without any worries.

The only concern now is that we don't have enough manpower to support two shifts.

But that's okay, if we don't have enough manpower, we can just transfer people from other places.

He still retains this right.

Seeing that the machine tool factory had also obtained 'unlimited usage rights', everyone else present became anxious.

There's only so much of this pancake; if one person takes an extra bite, everyone else will have to take one less.

So, not long after Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Bai Jingshu stood up abruptly, this time abandoning all restraint, and immediately said, "Minister Yang, we..."

"Minister Yang, Secretary Li, good news, good news!"

Suddenly, a shout came from outside, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

Bai Jingshu took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, smiled, and then turned around with everyone.

Just then, Xu Yuanshan led Li Chengjun in through the door, both of them beaming with undisguised joy.

Xu Yuanshan was holding a statistical report, while Li Chengjun was holding a satellite phone. Behind them were a group of people, including those from the power sector and other departments.

With such a big event happening tonight, the entire city of Beijing is waiting for news. How could they possibly leave?

"Old Xu, tell me quickly, is there any good news?"

Li Hongfeng quickly stood up and asked Xu Yuanshan.

Xu Yuanshan handed the summary sheet to Yang Xiaotao, and at the same time, facing everyone's gaze, he shouted loudly, "Minister Yang, comrades, come out."

"The total power generation is out."

While Yang Xiaotao and Lao Hong were still looking through the data sheets, Xu Yuanshan began to talk about the data inside, "We monitored for three hours, and according to the data collected from various places, the average hourly power generation reached 125 million kilowatts."

"The news from the Dengzhou nuclear power plant is that their two generating units have a total power generation capacity of approximately 142 million kilowatts per hour."

"Based on this calculation, the losses along the way are approximately 10%."

"It conforms to the actual situation."

After Xu Yuanshan finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao handed the summary table to Li Hongfeng, saying, "A 10% loss is not bad; it's within an acceptable range."

Xu Yuanshan nodded, "Yes, that's what Director Hu said too, and he also said that this is already quite good."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at the people around him. Seeing that they didn't react much, he knew they hadn't understood yet.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "Don't you guys know what this data represents?"

"Director Bai, do you know?"

Perhaps it was because Bai Jingshu stood up that Yang Xiaotao was the first to approach him and ask questions.

Bai Jingshu smiled awkwardly and shook his head, saying, "Minister Yang, I really don't know."

Yang Xiaotao then looked at Yang Youning, who immediately spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

"Okay, I'll analyze it for you and you'll understand."

Let's do the math first.

Yang Xiaotao approached Xu Yuanshan and asked, "Did Director Hu say how long the nuclear power plant can operate?"

Xu Yuanshan immediately said, "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the nuclear power plant can operate for 7,000 hours a year, excluding maintenance and upkeep."

"Of course, there could be more."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Let's just take a round number, let's use seven thousand hours."

Then, looking at everyone, he said, "This time, we'll calculate based on the power generation. It's 142 million kilowatts per hour, so 7,000 hours would be 99.4 billion kilowatts."

“After removing 10 percent of the losses, we can actually use 89.5 billion kilowatts.”

"That's how it works, right?"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he looked at An Zhongsheng and the others standing to the side.

The group nodded quickly; such a simple calculation problem was no challenge for them.

But when the final results were announced, many people were shocked.

Yang Xiaotao continued, "Everyone knows about the Liujiaxia Hydropower Station, right? It was just put into operation last year and is an important hydropower hub in our country. Do you know how much electricity they generated in three months last year?"

Yang Xiaotao held up five fingers. "Five hundred million kilowatt-hours of electricity, which, over the whole year, is two billion kilowatt-hours, and that doesn't even take into account losses."

"And our nuclear power plants are equivalent to five of theirs!"

Many people in the conference room gasped. That was a key water conservancy project under construction, yet its power generation was only one-fifth that of a nuclear power plant.

It's incredible.

Before Yang Xiaotao could finish speaking, he added, "This two billion doesn't even include losses. If losses are taken into account, it would be good if it reached eighteen billion."

"Also, do you know the total electricity consumption in Beijing last year?"

"Old Li, you know him, right?"

"After all, our Ninth Division is a major electricity consumer."

Li Hongfeng laughed and said, "Of course I know, we've been paying a lot of electricity bills."

He then looked at the crowd and said, "Last year, the total electricity consumption in Beijing was about four billion kilowatt-hours, of which industrial electricity accounted for 85 percent."

"Of these, our nine departments accounted for 48%, totaling 13.85 million in electricity fees."

Li Hongfeng continued speaking, but no one listened when he got to the last bit of money.

Because everyone already understands the content of these 89.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.

The electricity consumption in Beijing is twice that of the rest of the city.

Then, everyone laughed.

Even Bai Jingshu laughed along.

what does this mean?
This means it can be used by two Departments Nine.

No, if all of them were given to the Nine Departments, three Nine Departments could support it.

They were worried that the cake was too small to share, but now it seems it's so big they can't even finish it.

With a sufficient power supply, not only were the shackles on Jiu Bu removed, but a pair of wings were also sprouted on Jiu Bu, making it difficult for him not to fly.

"Old Xu, have someone prepare the report. I need to send it to Old Chen tomorrow morning."

Xu Yuanshan was filled with excitement at that moment. Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's instructions, he immediately said, "I don't need anyone else. I'll take care of it myself."

As he spoke, he walked out of the conference room.

At this moment, Li Tiejun walked up to him and said, "Minister Yang, Director Hu wants to say a few words to you."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and picked up the satellite phone to make the call.

A moment later, the phone rang and Director Hu's voice came through.

"Director Hu, this is Yang Xiaotao."

"Minister Yang, thank you for waiting so long. We have finally fulfilled our mission and completed our task."

Director Hu's voice was filled with excitement, but also with the relief of success.

This nuclear power plant, starting from the Tianshan Nuclear Power Plant in the northwest, first encountered difficulties and was aborted midway. Later, it miraculously arrived in Dengzhou, but then encountered a radiation accident and almost stopped.

It can be said that they faced numerous hardships.

Now, it's finally time for them to prove themselves.

"We have received good news. Congratulations to you, and to all the comrades at the nuclear power plant. You have succeeded."

Yang Xiaotao sincerely congratulated him, and Director Hu composed himself, saying, "Thank you, thank you, Director Yang."

"These are things we should do, and things we should do for the sake of revolution and construction."

Director Hu regained his composure and spoke generously.

After the other party finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao reminded him, "Well, Director Hu, this is just the beginning. Your work will remain challenging."

"The safety of nuclear reactors remains of paramount importance. We hope you will take this seriously and not be careless."

"We cannot let our guard down; we must have 100% responsibility!"

Yang Xiaotao's repeated instructions calmed Director Hu's excitement and made them realize that this was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go.

"Minister Yang, we understand. We will keep in mind the saying that the last leg of a journey is the hardest."

"Also, Director Yang, on behalf of all my colleagues at the nuclear power plant, I thank you for your continued support and trust."

After the two finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao handed the phone to Li Hongfeng.

"Director Hu, this is Li Hongfeng."

"Hello, Secretary Li."

Meanwhile, everyone had already gathered together to discuss the work arrangements for the next step.

Bai Jingshu went directly to Yang Xiaotao and said, "Director Yang, we need to increase the scale of insulin production, with an expected increase of 50%."

"Sure, as long as you have the manpower, the Ninth Division will provide full support on the machine side."

"Thank you, Director Yang."

Bai Jingshu left happily, and Wu Zhe and Han Sanfeng came over with smiles on their faces.

"Minister Yang, the orders for both turbine engines and turbofan engines are booked until next year. What do you think?"

Wu Zhe said with a smile, and Yang Xiaotao nodded directly, "It's the same as I said, as long as you can use it and don't waste it."

"How big you can become is up to your ability."

"Director Han, you don't need to say anything more. Computer development will be given priority, and your electricity supply will be guaranteed."

"Furthermore, all research electricity needs of the research institute will be given priority."

Upon hearing this, Han Sanfeng was overjoyed, now she could go all out and get things done.

At this point, Yang Xiaotao looked at everyone present and said, "Comrades, I know this is a rare opportunity, and many of you are thinking of making a big splash."

"That makes sense. We used to be bound by electricity, so we should be happy to be free now."

"But I still want to remind you all, we must not waste it."

“Every kilowatt-hour of electricity is sent from faraway Dengzhou. We must conserve electricity and use it wisely.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

They were used to being poor, so now that they had such a good supply of electricity, they naturally felt like they had suddenly become rich.

But this feeling comes and goes quickly, and then it's about how to seize the opportunity and ride the wave.
