After 2010, with the exception of some extremely poor countries, like Tuvalu once, it is almost impossible to run out of electricity.
Even Huaxia, which has the largest population in the world and an annual electricity consumption of more than 5.3 trillion kilowatt-hours, has moved away from the era of insufficient electricity after owning the Three Gorges Dam and multiple nuclear power plants.
In Li Daniu's previous life, he also experienced the so-called local power rationing policy, that is, in order to ensure the city's power consumption during the peak period of power consumption, power cuts were implemented in certain areas.
Because compared to the electricity consumption of a city or a country at a certain period of time, no existing technology can achieve effective storage, and it depends entirely on the equivalent of instant power generation.
And China in this world has developed a lot in this regard.
Thinking of the method of artificially selecting certain areas for power cuts due to insufficient power supply, Li Daniu told himself firmly in his heart: This situation must not happen in New Tuvalu.
"Our demand for electricity is not a day or two, nor is it a year or two." Li Daniu frowned and said: "If New Zealand's power company still wants to cut meat from us on time, then we can let They're fucked."
New Zealand's electricity companies are almost all private companies, so in this case, there is simply no way to solve it through diplomatic channels.
At this time, what Li Daniu regrets most is why is New Tuvalu not a neighboring country of China?
With Huaxia's consistent greatness as a big country, not to mention helping New Tuvalu for free, at least it will supply New Tuvalu's electricity at market prices.
Burns said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, although I really want to get rid of those New Zealand power companies, in fact we can't turn against them now. If we turn against them rashly, in case they disagree with the previous one cable…"
Li Daniu also discovered the seriousness of this problem. At present, the resident population of New Tuvalu has exceeded two million, and tens of thousands of tourists and patients arrive in New Tuvalu every day. As a new tourist attraction, the initial word-of-mouth is undoubtedly very important. If there is a large-scale power outage scandal at this time, the impact on New Tuvalu will be very fatal.
Patients may not care if the power goes out in New Tuvalu, but what about the tourists? Or, what about potential future visitors among those patients?
Li Daniu remembered a task assigned to Burns two months ago, and asked with a frown.
"Is there any good news from the countries that have built nuclear power plants that I put you in touch with?"
Burns sighed, and said: "When we started contacting, there were several other countries that expressed their intentions in this regard. Although their main appeal was to obtain some of the technologies you possess, at least they still have Talk to us. But..."
Seeing Burns pause for a moment, Li Daniu asked: "But what? Don't hesitate."
"But since we bought that strategic nuclear submarine, nobody wants to talk to us anymore," Burns said.
"Ha ha…"
Li Daniu instantly understood what those countries thought. In their view, the strategic nuclear submarines in New Tuvalu only had those few nuclear warheads. It's deterrent when not in use, but useless after use.
Although there is still a big gap between nuclear power plants and nuclear bomb technology, with the technological level of New Tuvalu, it might be easy to develop them.
"These countries still regard such backward nuclear energy utilization technology as a treasure?" Li Daniu said disdainfully: "Forget it, if they don't want to undertake the construction, then we don't need to ask them."
Burns laughed wryly beside him. In this world, only His Majesty the King would say that the nuclear power generation technology owned by those powerful countries is backward technology.
"Your Majesty!" After hesitating for a while, Burns said, "I think, can we try the technologies of thermal power generation? If the thermal power plant is built in the place where we reclaimed land, it will be very difficult for us in New Tuva. Lu's pollution is minimal."
Compared with environmentally friendly and pollution-free wind power, solar power and other power generation technologies, the efficiency of thermal power generation is very powerful. Because thermal power generation can complete power generation as long as there is coal. Whether it is wind power, solar power, or hydropower, the requirements for the environment are very high. In terms of cost, these environmentally friendly power generation methods are also very expensive.
Li Daniu shook his head and said, "If we build a thermal power plant, I might as well ask you to lift the ban on gasoline vehicles and other transportation facilities. In that case, we can save a lot of electricity a year."
Burns did not continue to persuade, he knew that when His Majesty the King insisted, no one who could persuade was born yet.
After thinking for a while, Li Daniu said: "For the time being, you continue to communicate with those companies in New Zealand that are capable of laying submarine cables, so that they feel that we are waiting for them to cut prices. After about a week, I will notify you and They turned their faces."
Burns looked at Li Daniu in disbelief, and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
Li Daniu smiled and said: "Of course I mean to build my own power plant, but you have to remember that this news must be kept extremely secret. In a short period of time, if other countries know about the power plant I want to build, They're going to panic again."
Burns was thoughtful, and said very excitedly: "Understood, Your Majesty, in the next week, I will not only have a good talk with those New Zealand companies, but also try my best to make them bite the dog."
After Burns left, Li Daniu connected the communication with Ultron.
"Ultron, how does Lucy feel?"
When he asked this sentence, Li Daniu felt very awkward, and when Ao Chuang's voice sounded from his ears, he felt even more awkward.
Because Ultron's electronic female voice is completely different from Lucy's voice.
"Lucy feels better than ever, and she let me tell you, it's amazing to have a human body."
Li Daniu curled his lips and said, "Ao Chuang, do I say you must do this? If you continue like this, will you get schizophrenia?"
Ultron replied: "This kind of human disease will not happen to artificial intelligence, and the separation of this program will also allow Lucy to grow faster. Otherwise, while dealing with it as an artificial intelligence Hundreds of thousands of calculations per second, while moving with a human body, can never truly grow."
"Okay!" Li Daniu gave up and continued to persuade Ultron or Lucy, but directly regarded the other party as two different individuals.
"You make a plan now. I want to build a large-scale Ark reactor in New Tuvalu, which can meet five times the current electricity consumption of New Tuvalu."
Ultron's calculation speed is very fast. In just a few seconds, a plan appeared on the screen in front of Li Daniu.
"I have selected the three most suitable construction sites for the large ark reactor for you. It is estimated that the rebuilding period will take one month. If you want to finish it ahead of schedule, you can carry out basic construction, and then put the The spare Ark reactor was delivered and installed in the past. According to your requirements for electricity consumption, the No. 3 spare Ark reactor can fully meet your needs."
Li Daniu looked at the relevant places selected by Ultron, and they were all very hidden places. At this point, Ultron is now able to make the most suitable choice according to the relevant situation when Li Daniu has no special explanation.
"Can it be completely completed in a week?"
"If the No. 3 spare Ark reactor is used, it is expected to achieve stable power generation in 5 days."
Li Daniu nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Okay, you can notify the relevant person in charge in my name and let them start infrastructure construction. When the construction is completed, use the transport plane to pull the No. 3 spare Ark reactor over."
After hanging up the communication with Ao Chuang, Li Daniu felt like the rain was about to come.
With his current technical reserves, he has already achieved all-round crushing of the real world, but because this is the real world, and because the existence of New Tuvalu is related to his life, he has been a little timid. but now…
"You forced me to do this!"
