Walkerton - The nuclear fusion power plant was officially put into use.

Fang Ping and Zhang Huaide accompanied the Speaker of the Australian Parliament, Jonlake Johnson, and the Governor of Western Australia, Edward Cafano, to visit the inauguration ceremony of nuclear fusion power generation.

Different from the rough thermal power station, the nuclear fusion power station adopts the combined power generation technology of magnetic fluid and temperature difference. This system is very simplified and very quiet. Except for the slight sound of some motors running, there is no other sound on site.

"Branch Fang, is this nuclear power plant dangerous?" Jonlake Johansen was obviously hesitant about the nuclear power plant.

"Mr. Johansen, this is a nuclear fusion power station, which is different from a nuclear fission power station. Its raw materials and products are non-radioactive elements, and we have designed it perfectly during the reaction process, even if there is an accident. , there will be no radioactive pollution and nuclear leakage problems." Zhang Huaide explained proudly.

Fang Ping also patted Johnson on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my office is in Walkerton. If something happens, I will be the first to suffer."

"Okay then! But we still don't want to disclose the matter of the nuclear power plant here for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary commotion." Johansen could only temporarily choose to suppress the news.

Although the speaker of the Australian Parliament is nominally higher than Fang Ping, the Minister of the Western Australia Division, in fact, the speaker of the Australian Parliament is nothing more than a rubber stamp, and has no right to order Fang Ping, a local authority.

The governor of Western Australia can also be regarded as one of Fang Ping's deputies. From this, it can be seen that the strength of the head of the local branch is very powerful, which is equivalent to the official of the frontier.

However, the system implemented by the Galaxy Consortium at the local level is somewhat similar to the separation of powers. The minister of the branch is in charge of administration, the minister of the statistics branch is in charge of inspection, and the minister of the finance branch is in charge of finance.

In addition, the security force is the Zhili Tianhan Security Group, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Galaxy Consortium.

There is also the supervision and proposal organization of the local board of directors. The so-called local board of directors are those companies or forces affiliated to the Galaxy Consortium.

For example, the six major consortiums of Sun Country, they are eligible to join the local board of directors, and even have a seat on the highest board of directors.

And those small and medium-sized enterprises affiliated to the Galaxy Consortium on the local board of directors are also eligible to join.

Zhang Huaide introduced to several people while walking: "This nuclear fusion power station has an annual power generation of about 3140 billion kWh, which can meet the electricity demand of Western Australia for the time being."

"3140 billion kWh!" Edward was once again in awe of the technological strength of the Galaxy Consortium.

"Yes, that's 3140 billion kwh." Zhang Huaide nodded again for confirmation.

Fang Ping said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter. If it weren't for the temporary lack of power, I would have planned to install a Jinwu-A nuclear fusion generator."

"Type A? What's the difference from this one?" Johansen asked suspiciously.

"The generating capacity of Type A is 10 times that of this Type B." Fang Ping raised his eyebrows and said.

"Oh, Maika, Australia's annual power generation capacity last year was only 5500 billion kWh, which is six times that of a Type-A nuclear fusion generator. It's amazing!" Johansen exclaimed.

"Electricity and fresh water, plus foam cement, we have the confidence to conquer the desert." Fang Ping pointed to the nuclear fusion generator and said vigorously.

Johansen and Edward glanced at each other. For the first time, they felt that technology can really do whatever they want, such as transforming deserts, seawater desalination, nuclear fusion power generation, instant buildings, mass projectors, and space stations. These are all unimaginable to them. , or something unimaginable.

Especially nuclear fusion power generation, once this thing comes out, the productivity of the whole society will skyrocket again, and the price can drop by about 20-40%.

The explosion of productivity and the drop in prices mean that Mars coins will appreciate in disguise. After all, you can buy five white rabbit toffee for one dollar before, but now you can buy 6 to 7 for one dollar. The money is still the same, but the value has increased by 20 to 40. %.

This impact is huge. Nuclear fusion power generation can make a country develop by leaps and bounds, especially for countries with huge power consumption, it is an opportunity to go to the next level.

Edward and Johansen felt fortunate that it was an honor for Australia to be able to take the car of the Galaxy Consortium.

"Fang branch, can we also equip New South Wales with a nuclear fusion power station?" Johnson asked suddenly.

"This is not impossible, but it may take a while." Fang Ping thought for a while and replied, then turned to Zhang Huaide and asked, "Dr. Zhang, what is the order arrangement of Jinwu Group?"

"Let me take a look." Zhang Huaide flipped through the holographic file: "It may be around October. Dongtang has an order for one Type A and four Type B. In addition, Fusang District, Dongying District, Luzon District, and Siam District also have their own orders. There is an order."

"October this year? That's fine." Johnson nodded.

"Johnson, you can talk to the branch minister of New South Wales, Edward Clegg, and let him apply to the Jinwu Group for a nuclear fusion power plant. In addition, you can prepare the infrastructure in advance." Fang Ping suggested.

Johansen made an OK gesture: "OK, I will talk to Edward."

Fang Ping asked Zhang Huaide again: "Dr. Zhang, when do you plan to go back to East Island?"

Zhang Huaide thought for a while and replied: "The day after tomorrow! I will check the operation of the nuclear fusion power plant in the next two days. If everything is normal, I will return to East Island the day after tomorrow."

"Then I will trouble Dr. Zhang in the past few days. I will go to other places with Johnson and Edward first."

"Go ahead!"

Fang Ping took Johnson and Edward to other areas of Walkerton.

An hour later, the convoy slowly stopped at the edge of the northern area of ​​Walkerton, where the sky was full of yellow sand, and gusts of wind and sand were blowing around several people.

Fang Ping, Edward, and Johansen were wearing sunglasses and masks, standing on top of the sand dam.

"The transformation of the Gibson Desert is underway, but the water pipeline hasn't reached here yet. We are now focusing on transforming the southern Victoria Desert." Fang Ping said, taking off his sunglasses.

Edward with binoculars asks, "How quickly can the transformation of the Gibson Desert be done?"

"It can be completed around 2022 to 2023. The Victoria Desert will be faster, and the preliminary renovation work will be almost completed next year." Fang Ping replied.

"By the way, Branch Fang, we still need to pay attention to those nature reserves. We have to leave a part of the desert as a nature reserve." Johnson reminded.

"Don't worry, these are the nature reserves we planned." Fang Ping opened the holographic bracelet and called up a planning map.

Looking at the nature reserve on the map, which occupies about one-sixth of the desert, Johansen nodded. After all, if the desert is completely transformed, it is very likely that the native organisms in the desert area will become extinct. If they develop sustainably, rather than predatory development.

"Edward, I need to trouble you about the immigration work. Recently, there is a huge shortage of workers in the Walkerton area. We want more labor." Fang Ping ordered.

"I have expedited the review, but recently many natives from Nicaea and Malaysia are also applying for immigration. What should we do in this regard?" Edward reminded.

"Reject these people, unless they are Tang people from Nicaea and Malaysia, or white people who believe in Buddhism and Jesus, we don't need garbage." Fang Ping directly ordered.

In fact, Edward also looked down on these people, and he nodded in agreement with Fang Ping's approach.
