In fact, not long after the news of Katar's power collapse was reported, the Jiangnan Shipyard Joint Venture Company, which learned of the matter, had already realized that this was a major opportunity and began to contact Katar as soon as possible.
Provide emergency power supply solutions.
Qatar is an Arab country in southwest Asia, with an area of only 11,500 square kilometers and a population of less than 3 million. It is not as large as an unknown second- and third-tier city in China.
Just sending one nuclear power ship over would be more than enough to supply power to the entire Katare. This is more than enough in the literal sense.
Data shows that Qatar's annual electricity consumption is only 12 billion kilowatt-hours. However, the current first-generation nuclear power generation ship, the annual power generation of a nuclear power ship can reach an astonishing load of more than 22 billion kilowatt-hours.
…
Two days later, Fang Hong left Xincheng. He went to the Nuclear Power Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd., a joint venture shipyard, to inspect, and he was obviously very concerned about this matter.
The head of the factory did not expect that Fang Hong would come to them. There are thousands of large and small companies under Qunxing Group, and it is impossible for Fang Hong to know them all. Many of them even have no memory of their names.
Forget about going on an inspection trip.
Fang Hong indeed attaches great importance to the company Nuclear Power Shipbuilding Group, because the shipyard has launched two brand-new ship models with completely independent intellectual property rights. No one has ever done this before.
The two major ship types are nuclear-powered container ships and nuclear-powered nuclear power generation ships.
"Not bad, not bad. The efficiency is much faster than I expected. One has been launched, and these three will be undocking soon, right?" Fang Hong had arrived at the shipbuilding base of the Nuclear Power Ship Group at this moment, and he looked ahead in the distance.
The dock is very satisfied.
He was accompanied by a group of people, including the head of the joint venture shipyard. He pointed to the shipyard and said: "The one on the far left you see is a 25,000TEU ultra-large container ship, and the other two are nuclear ships.
Power boat."
Fang Hong looked at the dock platform and nodded to himself: "We are the only one who can build three such super ships at the same time. No foreign shipyard can do it."
The first intuitive impression given by the three super giant ships on the dock platform is that they are huge. They are simply unbelievably huge. A person standing aside would look as small as an ant.
The head of the shipyard immediately added: "This 25,000TEU ultra-large container ship is completely independently designed by our company and has completely independent intellectual property rights. It has a total length of 400 meters, a width of 62 meters, a cargo depth of 34 meters, and a deck area of
It covers an area of 25,000 square meters, more than 3.5 standard football fields, and more than 60 meters longer than the current largest aircraft carrier in the world."
It is not unusual for super-large cargo ships to be larger than aircraft carriers. Currently, the world's largest aircraft carriers have a displacement of about 100,000 tons, while large cargo ships and cruise ships often have a displacement of 20,000 to 300,000 tons.
The head of the shipyard continued to introduce Fang Hong: "This container ship can carry 250,000 tons of cargo and can load 25,000 standard price containers at a time. The maximum number of stacking layers has reached 25, which is equivalent to the height of the 22nd floor.
It can be called a giant on the sea.”
Before this, no cargo container ships were nuclear-powered, and they did not have the technical capabilities.
The biggest feature of this 25,000TEU container is that it uses brand-new all-electric nuclear power technology in terms of energy and power. Among several internal design plans, this one now stands out for its excellent safety.
According to a detailed introduction by the head of the shipyard, the high-temperature and low-pressure operation of the reactor, as well as the design of anti-proliferation and inherent safety features, allow it to avoid the potential risk of core melting in principle.
This ship type does not require high-pressure vessels and pipelines. Even if a breach accident occurs, it can quickly solidify at ambient temperature. Through normal shutdown means and fuel salt discharge, rapid shutdown can be achieved to prevent the spread of the accident.
In addition, the layout of the power system and the double-sided redundant design of the power system provide extremely high safety for the entire ship, and an emergency evacuation function is set up in personnel gathering areas.
The ship adopts an all-electric solution, and the propulsion system uses dual motors, dual shaft propellers and dual rudders, which stand out for its high power, high speed and superior maneuverability.
The main power supply uses supercritical carbon dioxide generator sets, and the nuclear power system adopts a compact modular design to achieve efficient operation and truly achieve "net-zero" emissions.
Compared with low-sulfur oil and various alternative energy options, nuclear power performs very well in many aspects.
Not only does it have advantages in length and container space, it also improves space and energy utilization efficiency. The entire ship adopts an all-electric solution, and the reactor core does not need to be replaced for thirty years. This not only eliminates problems such as price fluctuations and refueling of green fuel, but also
It brings a more controllable energy model to the shipping industry.
Currently, only one such 25,000TEU ultra-large nuclear-powered container ship has been built.
The technical problem has been solved, but in reality the biggest problem is not technology, but resistance from outside technology. The West will definitely contain it. They are lagging behind in this field and they will try their best to obstruct it even if they cannot solve it.
you.
Magnesium West will definitely criticize environmental protection, safety and other aspects.
In fact, the controversy has already existed, and it was instigated by the West.
For example, is it widely feasible to promote nuclear-powered ship technology on a global scale? Are there sufficient regulations and standards to regulate the operation of nuclear-powered ships globally? In the face of the application of nuclear energy in the shipping industry, is there an international
Can a consensus be formed to jointly promote the development of this technology?
However, Fang Hong was calm. He didn't care about Magnesium West at all. He promoted this matter and excluded Magnesium West from the beginning.
In a word, if you are in doubt, just go along the way.
We are about to stand up and carry the flag. When the time comes, we will get a group of non-Magnesium Western guys to play around and directly bypass Magnesium Western to formulate a new set of standards for the operation of nuclear-powered ships.
The West does not represent the entire world. There are about 20 or 30 countries with a total population of 1.5 billion. However, there are more than 200 countries and regions on the earth with a population of more than 8 billion. The population of the non-Western countries exceeds 6.5 billion.
.
The various designs of this ship type have reached the international leading level of traditional containers. There is no doubt that the birth of this 25,000TEU-class ultra-large nuclear-powered container ship will have a profound impact on the future development direction of the global shipping industry.
It marks that the shipping industry has entered a new era. Environmental protection, efficiency and sustainability will become the main theme of the future development of the shipping industry.
However, Fang Hong is relatively more concerned about the nuclear power ship, which can be called a super large offshore mobile nuclear power plant.
At this moment, there are two other super giant ships on the dock platform. In addition to the super huge hulls, the other most impressive thing is that there are several huge spherical structures on the ship, which look like electronic reconnaissance ships.
Similarly, the overall appearance of the nuclear power ship also looks extremely sci-fi.
