That night.
Chen Hao led a group of scientists to Shanghai.
The old man and Qian Lao also came.
It was almost dawn when they arrived in Shanghai. Everyone went to rest temporarily, but Chen Hao returned to Jiaotong University and went straight to the underground research institute.
Fortunately!
The brain-computer interface was not destroyed after use!
What he had previously given to the country were mature and complete technologies.
There were still many technologies that had not been realized in his previous life, and in terms of overall completeness, only a part of them existed.
The new material was a success!
With the completion of this step, technological upgrades would not be limited to controlled nuclear fusion.
It was a breakthrough in the entire related technology chain!
It was an unprecedented transformation!
Chen Hao lay on a device similar to a CT scanner.
The brain-computer interface was running.
He was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep, but it did not affect the operation of the device.
He slept until the afternoon.
Organize the data!
Have General Wang summon nuclear scientists!
Half past four in the afternoon.
The related technologies and construction process catalog alone exceeded hundreds of items.
He spent an hour or two giving a brief explanation and dividing tasks: hundreds of scientists were responsible for different processes, some immediately投入初期建设into initial construction, and some had to carry out core research and development.
For example, controlled nuclear fusion generator sets.
Did Chen Hao have detailed technology?
But after all, it was a brand-new technology, and research and development still required a long time.
"Okay!"
On the screen.
The data catalog switched to a map, and Chen Hao pointed to various places across the country: "Controlled nuclear fusion power generation Phase I, achieving nuclear power supply throughout China!"
What?!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
In 2000, the total annual power generation was 1.37 trillion kilowatt-hours, and nuclear power accounted for less than 1%!
The reason was simple.
First, nuclear power plants were expensive to build.
There were two factors contributing to the high cost: nuclear power plants were inherently expensive, and China had a gap in related technologies, so a large amount of equipment needed to be imported—which was much more expensive than domestically produced equipment.
Secondly.
China had few nuclear ore veins, and the abundance was relatively low.
Nuclear fuel also needed to be imported.
What about now?
With seawater and a continuous supply of nuclear fuel, this aspect was solved.
As for the cost of nuclear power plants...
No need to import!
Only China had controlled nuclear fusion. Where could you import related equipment from?
Everything would be achieved through domestic research and development!
According to Chen Hao's design, the power output of a single power station was more than ten times higher than existing nuclear power plants—compared to fission nuclear power plants, the cost was at least five times higher.
That is to say.
The cost of a controlled nuclear fusion power station was about 180 billion!
Using nuclear power to replace the country's electricity...
How many would be needed?
At least 10!
That would be 1.8 trillion!
This was based on the electricity demand in 2000, but as Chen Hao provided a large amount of technology, China's industrial capacity would skyrocket.
The demand for electricity would increase significantly.
10?
Far from enough!
"As for the money... I'll figure out a way!" Chen Hao said in a deep voice.
At this moment.
His phone suddenly rang.
"Sister?"
He walked to a corner and answered, "What's wrong?"
"A few days ago, Toyota's technology and factories were transferred to our company, and the auction was just completed today."
Xia Qingyan was extremely happy: "Guess how much it sold for?"
How could she not be happy?
The company was worried about financial difficulties.
Just in time!
The car manufacturing technology that Toyota Group had spent a lot of money to bid for in the past was returned without taking a penny—even Toyota's factories in China became theirs.
"How much?" Chen Hao's eyes lit up.
His sister-in-law was short of money?
He was even more short of money!
This was really a timely rain!
"The technology and factories were auctioned together, selling for more than 380 billion in total!" Xia Qingyan's tone was full of surprise.
The auction was not as fierce as last time.
It was cheaper than when Toyota bid for it in the first place.
The problem was...
This money was free!
"That's great!" Chen Hao was extremely excited.
"Right? I'm preparing..."
"Transfer 300 billion over first!"
"..."
Xia Qingyan was directly dumbfounded.
It felt like taking a comfortable fire in the winter, but being poured a basin of ice water on the head.
"Little Chen!"
The old man suddenly opened his mouth: "No need to transfer!"
At first, Chen Hao's voice was low when answering the phone, but the last sentence 'Transfer 300 billion first' was a little louder because of excitement, and the old man heard it.
How could he not know the reason?
The investment in nuclear fusion power stations was too high!
To reach last year's power generation, 10 stations were needed, costing as much as 1.8 trillion Chinese currency.
And 10...
Far from enough!
The country was developing too fast, and the demand for electricity was soaring—let alone 10, even 20 would not be enough!
"Ah?!" Chen Hao turned his head to look at the old man.
"The country is not short of money now." The old man smiled gently.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
The old man nodded: "Do you know how much GDP increased in the first half of the year? How much fiscal revenue?"
Chen Hao was stunned.
"Publicly announced, the year-on-year GDP growth rate in the first half of the year was 11.5%." The old man showed a sly smile.
How much was the actual growth?
Chen Hao was frantically薅 全世界 羊 毛fleecing the world!
He was frantically investing in the country!
Of course, many investments were continuous, and the funds were not spent in half a year.
Even so.
The investment in the first half of the year alone, and the upstream and downstream industries it drove, made the GDP increase by as much as 237% compared to the same period last year!
That's right!
The GDP increase was more than double!
How could it not be shocking?
Throughout history, no country or dynasty had ever experienced such a heaven-defying increase!
"Also! Have you forgotten?"
The old man's eyes changed from sly to cold: "Dongyang owes us a lot! A lot!"
The lives of more than 30 million compatriots!
Fourteen years of invasion!
Shouldn't China collect some interest?
Admittedly, Dongyang had returned to the Stone Age, but it had a large number of overseas industries that were 'voluntarily' handed over to China—as a reward for China's humanitarian aid in taking in Dongyang women and children.
First, they had to give it.
Secondly...
Dongyang would permanently be in the Stone Age, completely cut off from the outside world.
Overseas assets were useless to keep.
It was better to pay tribute, perhaps to make the Chinese father less ruthless to them.
"Is there enough money to build 20?" Chen Hao asked quickly.
"Enough!"
"What about 30?"
"This..."
The old man was embarrassed.
20 fusion nuclear power stations were no problem, but 30 might be a little difficult, but it was barely enough—he was afraid that if he said it was enough, Chen Hao would ask about 40.
"Then 30 it is!"
Chen Hao nodded: "The faster the GDP growth, the more electricity demand there will be."
With the completion of the brain-computer interface, he had given a lot of technology.
Soon, the results would appear one after another.
China would surely monopolize high-tech manufacturing!
It would surely become a global industrial power, and leave the second place far behind!
And what manufacturing corresponded to was...
Electricity demand!
What's more, no matter how much overtime was done, the construction of nuclear power plants would take time—all of them were new technologies, and research and development would be required during construction, which would take a long time.
By the time the nuclear power plants were built, China's electricity consumption would probably rise to a new level.
"Sister, transfer 300 billion." Chen Hao said.
"..."
Xia Qingyan's good mood instantly disappeared.
Her brother-in-law made money very quickly.
But spending money...
Was much faster than making money!
