Going to Beijing.

Chang'an Street.

After a morning meeting, Wang Yongping, the boss of Huayou, who came out of the conference room, looked at the notes in his hand. The expression on his face was subtle and complicated.

Since the beginning of the month, the top management has made a series of adjustments to the energy development strategy. In the previous meeting, it has made detailed arrangements for the development plans of several domestic energy companies in the next five years.

As far as the content of the meeting is decided...

At least it is not a good thing for Hua Petro.

First, the upper limit of overseas investment has been cut by about 130 billion US dollars. Secondly, the signed contracts have remained unchanged, and the expansion of overseas oil and gas fields has been stopped within three years.

And not only that, there are “two years and 50,000 charging piles”, “a minimum of four or more charging piles per station at a gas station along the highway in one year” and so on.

From all indications, the country seems to be eager to remove the property of fuel from civilian petroleum products.

In fact, he does not understand the decision made by the top management. After all, the foreign exchange reserves that Huaguo consumes on energy imports every year are really amazing.

However, understanding and understanding, it is impossible to say that there is no feeling of pain in the heart.

Especially the overseas investment, but the most oily place.

With such a knife down, it still made him feel some pain.

But they are not the worst.

At least they are lucky compared to the coal companies that have been dried up.

If you don't say anything else, just go to the production capacity with an understatement, you don't know how many people will get rid of the hair of a place.

Especially the placement of laid-off workers, local finances in several major coal-producing provinces...

These problems, Wang Yongping, just think about them, they feel that the scalp is numb.

In addition, not only these energy mining companies, but also the two major power grids and the five major power groups are assigned their respective tasks.

In particular, the adjustment plan for the total installed capacity of the fusion reactor power generation and the industrial electricity price and the residential electricity price has been clearly defined.

However, compared with the price paid, the power company has paid a lot of benefits at this meeting.

In particular, it is a cross-regional transmission project leading to Laos and Myanmar.

If the project is completed, whether it can make money or not, this is the performance of the red fruit.

Exporting energy to neighboring countries means that the state will have a stronger voice in the region.

Wang Yongping admitted that he was jealous.

This is simply sitting at home, and the credit is automatically turned up.

But no way, who wants people to be lucky?

......

With the breakthrough of controllable fusion technology, both domestic and foreign political and governance situations will usher in a new round of reshuffle in this new round of productivity changes.

Of these, naturally, some people are happy and some are worried.

However, the fate of the individual is often negligible in the transformation of the times.

Just as the trend of history is irreversible, nothing can stop it from moving forward.

In such a big environment, I am afraid that it will not be calm throughout 2020.

However, compared to the "actors" who are busy on the stage, Lu Zhou himself, who kicked off this new era, seems to be a lot easier.

There is even time to go to the TV station next to the door.

On the day before the New Year, the Science Light program studio was on the scene, and the audience was crowded with people.

In the applause, he walked into the studio, and Lu Zhou, who was on the stage, smiled and waved at them, then sat on the sofa prepared for him.

While sitting on the sofa, Lu Zhou simply looked at the audience under the stage.

The faces of these audiences are relatively young, and most of them seem to be students from local universities, and some from nearby high schools and even junior high schools.

When I saw him, the expression on everyone's face was very excited, and the applause from the audience was quite warm.

The only thing that is unclear is that I don’t know if these people are the group performers invited by the TV station...

Emmmm......

It’s not good.

Sitting opposite Lu Zhou, the host He Ying looked at Lu Zhou and said with a smile.

"Professor Lu, do you feel better?"

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded: "I have recovered almost, or I will not sit here."

There was a kind laugh in the audience.

As with the pre-arranged, the camera hanging above the studio gave the audience a few close-ups.

The propaganda department hopes that he will pass on this program to convey to the public and the international community the signal that his health is improving.

Although it is not clear whether there is any objection to this, Lu Zhou readily agreed to their request.

After all, my body is really good.

Let so many people break their hearts for their health, and how much still makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

After a lively enthusiasm, He Ying smiled and said to Lu Zhou: "Before the show started, I want to ask you a few questions for our audience friends."

The index finger crossed on the knee, and Lu Zhou, leaning against the sofa, smiled and said: "Ask, as long as I can answer, I know everything."

"This Professor Lu is at ease, it will be very easy for you." He Ying said, turning over the card in his hand and laughing, "The first question is from a netizen from the province of Jiangsu."

“In the question, he expressed concern that the thermal pollution brought about by controlled fusion may increase global warming. May I ask Professor Lu what do you think about this problem?”

Does anyone still know about thermal pollution?

The eyebrows were lifted up with interest, and Lu Zhou’s expression showed a slight surprise.

It seems that the audience level of this session is not bad.

At least not asking "Is the fusion reactor explosive power more than the fission reactor?" This is a dumbfounding problem.

Leaning on the sofa, Lu Zhou thought for a moment, smiled and said: "Global warming is a systematic topic, let's not discuss the possibility that this friend said, from science. Think about this from a thinking perspective."

He Ying: "Scientific thinking?"

Lu Zhou: "Yes, junior high school physics probably mentions that when we study a moving object, the first thing we need to do is to select a suitable reference frame and then study the relative motion of the object to the reference frame."

"For example, a running athlete, when we discuss his speed, will not study the size or frequency of his steps alone, nor will he discuss the speed at which he swings his arm. Instead, he will be a whole, with a runway or something else. Something is used as a reference system to discuss his displacement and time relative to the runway, and to discuss it at the same time."

"For a large system, such as the Earth. When we study it, we can't just study a sample in the system in isolation, but we should discuss it from the spatial scale and time scale of the equivalent."

“It’s a way of thinking out of scientific thinking that the controllable fusion is taken out alone and placed in an equal position with the Earth’s environment.”

"Because whether it is thermal power or nuclear power, it is only a way of generating electricity. It is not the power generation route, but the demand that determines the total calorific value of social production and life."

He Ying: "Demand?"

Lu Zhou nodded: "Yes."

To a certain extent, controlled fusion will accelerate the development of productivity, but will it not develop without nuclear fusion productivity? This is obviously impossible.

As long as the needs of development exist, as time goes by, civilization will eventually develop to that step, but it will be relatively slow, and the price paid on the road will be heavier.

Looking at the audience's seemingly ignorant expressions on the audience, Lu Zhou guessed that most of them did not understand, so they exchanged a more easy-to-understand answer.

“On a shorter time scale, the controllable fusion technology is conducive to easing global warming. The energy conversion efficiency of traditional thermal power technology is about 35%, which means that we produce 1 unit of electricity. It is necessary to release 2.85 of the total heat by burning coal, and release the corresponding carbon dioxide and other sulfur-containing gases, etc."

"But controllable fusion does not exist. According to the magnetic fluid generator set on the star-2 demonstration reactor, the current theoretical energy conversion efficiency can reach 50%, and there is still room for further improvement. I would like to use 50% of this data. Calculate, to produce 1 unit of electricity, we only need to release 2 units of total heat, and there is no greenhouse gas emissions."

“Huaguo is a big energy consumer, and the annual consumption of coal accounts for half of the world’s total consumption. If we make changes in carbon emissions, the whole world will change because of us.”

As for the longer time scale, it is not only necessary to consider human behavior, but also to consider other factors that are more cyclical.

For example, the periodicity of solar activity.

In the middle of the 21st century, solar activity has a high probability of entering Mond's minima, and the heat reaching the Earth is 0.3% smaller than the maximum.

And what is the concept of this 0.3%?

Referring to Mr. Zhu Kezhen's "History of China's Meteorology", the four small ice ages in history are just a special period of the four dynasties between the Yin and Zhou, the late Han Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty, the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty. Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. According to historical records, the Mingwu Zongzheng was seven years old, and the Dongting Lake was frozen one foot. The Yangtze River was frozen and the moon was incomprehensible, and its power was visible.

Relative to solar activity, the heat released by human activities is not at all an order of magnitude.

At least for now, it is still too far.

But time is limited, these things, there is no need to extend too much in the program...
