In the evening, when Hicuyele from the Ministry of Investment of Namibia visited again, Chen Chen informed him of the location.

Although Hicuyelle was a little embarrassed after listening, he still smiled and said that he would report Chen Chen’s proposal to Congress.

As for whether the Ministry of Investment and the Ministry of Environmental Protection will diverge because of this, or even fight each other in the Congress to determine the outcome, it has nothing to do with Chen Chen.

In the next few days, Chen Chen declined the official company of Namibia. He brought only a few people from Qian Wenhuan to visit the tourist attractions in Namibia.

Even in the entire African region, Namibia is regarded as the country with the most developed tourism industry. Tourist attractions and wildlife sanctuaries can be seen everywhere

Spitzkoop Mountain, with the world-famous rock arch bridge, is exceptionally magnificent and magnificent under the starry sky at night;

In the vast desert, there is a quiver tree unique to Africa growing, with roots rushing into the sky. It rises, like the palm of your hand to the sky;

There is also the majestic scene of the vast yellow sand entering the sea. On one side is the endless desert, on the other is the vast ocean of smoke. The two originally unrelated The Hanhai is perfectly integrated, like the symphony of the Qushahai…

The sparse population represents a large number of undeveloped natural landscapes, coupled with the spring-like temperature all year round and the more stable than neighbors The political situation has made it the most extremely powerful and arrogant country for tourism in Africa.

Of course, Chen Chen is not just for fun. He also visited Hushan and Luoxin two uranium mines controlled by the Central Continent.

The two uranium mines are both located in the Namib Desert in western Namibia. The Hushan uranium mine is 60 kilometers away from the coastal city of Swakopmund, and the Rosin uranium mine is located 10 kilometers south of Alandis. s position.

Among the two uranium mines, the Hushan uranium mine ranks third in the world in terms of uranium resource reserves, with a total resource of 286,000 tons and an annual output of 6,500 tons of U3O8, ranking first in the world. two.

The Rosin uranium mine has an annual output of 2500 tons, ranking fifth in the world.

After the visit, Chen Chen felt a lot of weight on the way back.

After initial contact and discussion, the quotations of China General Nuclear Power Group and China National Nuclear Corporation are almost the same. If Chen Chen wants to build a nuclear power plant with a generating capacity of 1 million kilowatts in the southern part of Walvis Bay, roughly 14 billion will be needed. .

Converted into US dollars, it is 2 billion US dollars.

The reason why the market price is much higher is actually the reason for the material transportation.

The building materials needed for nuclear power plants are basically impossible to find by African industry. They must be transported by sea from the Central Continent. The cost of the 15,000-kilometer journey will naturally increase.

Of course, this refers to the price of the third generation nuclear power plant CAP1400, which is an improved version of the AP1000 technology imported from North America in the Central Continent.

Generally speaking, the reactors of nuclear power plants are divided into “light water reactors” and “heavy water reactors”. The “heavy water reactors” are basically not used in the Central Continent, and the “light water reactors” have always been used.

The “light water reactor” is divided into “pressurized water reactor” and “boiling water reactor”.

The CAP1400 is a kind of “passive pressurized water reactor”, which first fission of nuclear fuel generates a large amount of heat energy, and then uses water under high pressure to take the heat energy out, and uses the generator to generate steam to promote As the steam turbine rotates, electricity is continuously generated.

Different from the second-generation reactor, the biggest feature of the third-generation CAP1400 technology is that it is simple and easy to operate, simpler and more effective than traditional nuclear reactors, and further improves the safety of nuclear power plants.

As for another type of “boiling water reactor” nuclear reactor, just look at the fate of the Eastern Sea Island Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.

In addition to higher safety, Chen Chen chose CAP1400 because of the modular technology that can be used in the construction of third-generation nuclear power plants, which can greatly shorten the construction period of nuclear power plants. It will take 18 months to officially operate.

However, after understanding the working principles of these nuclear power plants, Chen Chen couldn’t help but sigh. It is no wonder that people on the Internet always complain that “the essence of human technology is to boil water and to study how to boil water more effectively.”

The only thing Chen Chen dissatisfied with is the power of the reactor.

A 1 million kilowatt nuclear power plant sounds scary, but in fact it is only 10MVA. According to the average electricity demand of 8KW per household, three people per household, half of the demand factor, can also supply about 750,000 People’s daily electricity consumption.

Furthermore, Chen Chen is not generating electricity for love. His real purpose in building a nuclear power plant is to charge the USB flash drive. Therefore, even after the nuclear power plant is built, Chen Chen will definitely have some deductions, and even most of the deductions are normal. operating.

Therefore, a 1,000,000 kilowatt nuclear reactor is not enough. Chen Chen hopes to expand to 2 million!

It seems that the loan and release of new products is an urgent plan.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen sitting in the four-wheel drive off-road vehicle subconsciously looked out the window.

The open wind on the plain swept Chen Chen’s face, bringing a hint of coolness. At this time, the setting sun had already set in the sky, leaving only a afterglow of the afterglow to reflect most of the sky.

The sky and the earth gradually dimmed, and there were also fires in the villages that appeared occasionally on both sides of the road.

“Electricity”, a product that has become part of human daily life in the 21st century, is still a luxury in this wild and backward country…

Who can think of it? Namibia, which is full of uranium mines and extremely rich in rare earth resources, actually relies on imports for 70% of its electricity.

Namibias annual GDP is only US$14 billion, 20% of wealthy white people account for 80% of the countrys total income, 60% of banks are controlled by foreign capital, and ordinary people generally live below the poverty line .

Namibian officials simply do not have the financial resources to invest in the capital and technology needed to develop nuclear power plants.

Because of the countrys backward economy and lack of funds and related technologies for nuclear energy development, there is a serious shortage of electricity throughout the country. They can only guard the treasure mountain of uranium mines, but there is no way.

Due to the year-round lack of power, Namibian officials were even forced to introduce a policy called “Adjust the Single Buyer Model” to encourage qualified independent power manufacturers to sell power resources directly to their own The people, not all controlled by Namibia’s power companies as they are now.

From here we can see how miserable this official is.

But this is already a very wise and powerful official in the African region. There is no resistance even in the territory. Unlike other countries, there is a lot of war and warlords. Not to mention development, peace and stability are the same. Kind of luxury.

But precisely because of this, Chen Chen’s intention to build a nuclear power plant immediately caused the entire Congress to shock.

After all, the investment in a nuclear power plant alone exceeds the total foreign trade of Namibia throughout the year.
