Chapter 313 Export products, nuclear power plant construction started
The news spread quickly all over the world as if it had wings.
The fact that Yan State exports large quantities of new steel at low prices has excited countless countries.
Business representatives from various countries cast eager glances at the Yan State Embassy, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
"I heard that the steel you export is of high quality and low price, so we want to import some too!"
"Yes, $60 per ton, this price is very attractive. I really hope to reach cooperation with your country."
The embassy staff was overwhelmed with calls and fax machines ringing non-stop, and the hall was packed with all kinds of people asking about procurement matters.
The steel of Yan Country is sweeping the world like wildfire!
At the same time, domestic political and business circles were also immersed in joy.
Especially the Minister of Industry Liu Ziliang and General Lin from the military, they couldn't stop smiling.
You know, selling steel requires more than just excellent quality and low price.
More importantly, it is the core technology behind the new steel - the "top and bottom double-blown converter" invented by Li Yang!
This revolutionary new steelmaking process not only significantly reduces energy consumption, but also significantly improves the purity of molten steel. Combined with the optimization of other processes, the overall production cost has been reduced by one third compared to traditional converters!
It is precisely with this killer weapon that Yan's steel has been able to soar and open the door to the international market.
Thinking of this, Liu Ziliang and General Lin couldn't help but respect Li Yang.
You know, it’s been less than two years since this young man first appeared.
However, the new technologies and equipment he developed one after another all turned the tide at critical moments and achieved remarkable results.
They secretly vowed to fully support Li Yang, give him the best resources, and allow his talents to be fully displayed.
……
At this moment, Li Yang was writing at his desk in his office, with an unconcealable excitement on his face.
Yes, while earning foreign exchange through foreign trade, the nuclear power plant project that he had been dreaming of finally had the opportunity to start!
The foreign exchange that continuously flowed in from the bear market and other countries provided the first valuable start-up capital for the project construction.
Li Yang knows that nuclear power is a complex system engineering project and must be advanced step by step and steadily.
The first issue to be addressed was the site selection. After fully evaluating the pros and cons of various options, Li Yang finally decided to build the first commercial nuclear power plant in the Binhai New Area!
Not only is the geology here stable and earthquakes rare, but it is also close to the sea, so seawater can be fully utilized as a cooling medium.
At the same time, it is close to the capital and large industrial cities in the north, with strong demand for electricity and guaranteed consumption.
More importantly, it has a solid industrial foundation and a large number of skilled workers, providing sufficient talent resources for nuclear power plant construction.
Now that the site has been chosen, the next question is how to minimize the impact of radiation.
Li Yang already had a plan to deal with this.
On the one hand, he demanded that a 5-kilometer restricted area be set up around the nuclear island, nearby residents be relocated, and a large amount of broad-leaved forest be planted on the periphery to form a natural barrier;
On the other hand, every design of the nuclear island takes safety and environmental protection as top priority.
For example, the advanced pressurized water reactor technology route is adopted, and the reactor is equipped with multiple barriers to prevent the leakage of radioactive materials;
The cooling system adopts a double-circuit layout to prevent secondary water pollution; the spent fuel reprocessing plant is located in a remote area and is equipped with complete purification facilities......
Li Yang was confident and listed a series of measures in great detail, vowing to build this nuclear power plant into a benchmark in the industry and completely dispel the people's doubts.
Site selection, safety and environmental protection are not only the three major prerequisites for a nuclear power plant, but also the goal that Li Yang's technical team works on day and night.
Everyone raced against time and worked non-stop to carry out various tasks: survey, design drawing review, site leveling, excavation, piling, pouring concrete overnight...
An "underground city" of initial scale is gradually taking shape, and towering steel frames of factory buildings are rising from the ground, heralding the full launch of this huge project.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year's bell rang.
Li Yang had no time to celebrate, as he was busy debugging the reactor model in the laboratory. The design drawings and calculation formulas were piled up like a small mountain next to him.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Li, what are you busy with? Come out quickly, everyone is waiting for you!" Liu Ziliang and General Lin walked in with smiles on their faces?1?8
Seeing them, Li Yang also smiled knowingly.
"Congratulations, Xiao Li!" General Lin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "I heard that your nuclear power plant has already started construction?"
"No, no, it's just the groundbreaking." Li Yang smiled modestly, "It will take a while before it is completed and put into operation. 1?8"
"As long as we make a good start, there will be hope for the future." Liu Ziliang took over the conversation.
"What's more, the people under you are full of fighting spirit, as if they were injected with chicken blood.
With this kind of enthusiasm, why worry about not being able to accomplish it?" Li Yang nodded repeatedly, his eyes becoming more determined.
Everyone is working hard for this project, forgetting to eat and sleep, and he, as the chief designer and chief engineer, has an even greater responsibility.
We must grit our teeth, forge ahead, and lead everyone to build this "national treasure"!
Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on Li Yang's face again.
"Minister Liu, General Lin, speaking of which, I have come up with a new idea recently."
"Oh? Tell me about it," the two of them became interested.
Li Yang cleared his throat and spoke word by word: "I think, taking advantage of this export boom, shouldn't we also take the opportunity to sell the new gadgets we developed before?"
"New stuff? You mean..." Liu Ziliang's eyes lit up?1?8
"That's right," Li Yang smiled, "For example, color TVs and cars are considered high-tech in China, but they are definitely hot commodities abroad!"
"That makes sense!" General Lin slapped his thigh, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and contact the foreign trade department to push these products to the international market as soon as possible!" He was about to stand up, but was stopped by Li Yang:
"Wait a minute, General... Simply selling products won't work. We need to be strategic, such as working on product packaging and thinking about pricing strategies..."
Li Yang described his ideas in vivid detail, and Liu Ziliang and General Lin nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce are worried about the lack of progress in international trade these days.
Coincidentally, Li Yang's dazzling array of new products can just fill this gap!
The three of them hit it off immediately and informed their superiors via telegram, who gave them strong support. Soon, Yan's manufacturing, represented by color TVs and automobiles, once again embarked on the journey to conquer the international market.
As expected, the existence of these cutting-edge products in China has set off a "Yanguo storm" overseas!
With its dazzling picture quality and affordable price, color TVs quickly occupied the Southeast Asian market and became the darling of thousands of families;
The "Dongfeng" brand trucks are even more popular. With their amazing cost-effectiveness, they have broken the monopoly of the Russian bear in the Middle East and Africa and become a "hot commodity" that people are flocking to.
Yanguo manufacturing has once again attracted the world's attention, and once again impressed by this quietly rising oriental giant! ... The continued rise in exports has brought prosperity to the country? 1? 8
With more and more foreign exchange coming in, large-scale project construction is in full swing, and people's pockets are getting fatter day by day.
At the same time, Li Yang did not slack off.
While enjoying the fruits of his labor, he has already set his sights on the next new field - carbon fiber!
That’s right, it’s the new material known as “black gold,” the cutting-edge material that has already demonstrated its magical power in the aerospace field.
Although carbon fiber originated in the 50s, its application scope is still limited to a few high-tech fields until now.
However, with the rapid development of industrial technology, carbon fiber will surely come out of the laboratory and show its prowess in a wider world.
With its unique properties of low density and high strength, carbon fiber is destined to set off a vigorous material revolution in aerospace weapons and even in the civilian field!
In this process of "taking the lead", whoever can seize the opportunity and master the core technology of this new material will be invincible in the future competition!
Thinking of this, Li Yang's eyes lit up.
Yes, he wanted Yan Country to become a trendsetter and a leader in this material revolution!
He secretly vowed to master carbon fiber technology as soon as possible and make this new material a national weapon in the fields of aerospace, weapons and equipment!
But Li Yang also knows that the preparation process of carbon fiber is complex and technically difficult, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
From the invention of coal tar-based carbon fiber in the 50s, to the emergence of polyacrylonitrile-based (PAN-based) carbon fiber in the 60s, to the advent of various high-performance carbon fibers today, how many scientists have worked hard!
Among these, how many key technologies and core processes need Li Yang, the "inventor" of the new era, to break through and innovate?
A grand blueprint has emerged in Li Yang's mind:
The best quality acrylonitrile fiber is selected as the precursor, and high-performance carbon fiber is prepared through pre-oxidation, carbonization and graphitization treatment;
Optimize the oxidation carbonization process parameters to maximize the carbon yield while ensuring the fiber strength;
Improve surface treatment technology and increase the interfacial bonding strength between fiber and matrix, thus greatly improving the performance of composite materials.......
Li Yang had many cutting-edge ideas in his mind, and gradually sketched out a road to conquer carbon fiber technology! But he knew that ideas and blueprints alone were not enough. Any breakthrough in new technology is inseparable from a large number of experiments and pilot tests, and expensive instruments and equipment.
More importantly, we need an elite scientific research team and a group of technical pioneers who are brave in innovation and willing to make sacrifices!
Fortunately, with the "first pot of gold" from arms exports and the hot sales of color TVs and cars, funding is no longer a bottleneck.
With the strong support of Liu Ziliang, General Lin and others, it is just around the corner to mobilize elite troops and form a carbon fiber research team?1?8
Thinking of this, Li Yang was full of confidence and high morale.
He secretly clenched his fist and vowed: Starting from today, I must go all out to overcome difficulties and make carbon fiber another trump card for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the "material revolution" of the new era!
