Chapter 1591 [Production capacity is directly filled up]
If there were 55 nuclear power ships, that would be a huge net profit of 2.75 trillion. Over the next 35 years, the average annual net profit would be about 78.5 billion.
This kind of business is not only extremely profitable, but also has a strong monopoly attribute. It is destined to be beyond the reach of ordinary enterprises. No matter how greedy private enterprises are, they can only think about it. Electricity is not something that private enterprises can get involved in.
What's more, this also involves nuclear energy, as well as a series of high-tech products that countries strictly restrict exports.
The operators who buy nuclear power ships to generate electricity and sell electricity make so much money, but the Nuclear Power Ship Group Company that builds the ships makes far less money than the operators.
Military procurement only gives 5% net profit, while civilian power generation charges are higher, 12% net profit.
The cost of a nuclear power ship of 8.5 billion refers to the civilian purchase price. That is, a power operating company spends 8.5 billion to buy a ship. A nuclear power ship can earn a net profit of 910 million, and if sold to the military, it can earn 379 million.
net profit.
On the other hand, if an operator purchases a ship and operates it for 35 years, it can earn 50 billion yuan, which is a 55-fold difference.
However, the attributes of the industries are different. One is the manufacturing industry and the other is the service industry. There is actually no comparability between the two.
The Nuclear Power Shipbuilding Corporation can earn a net profit of 12% from building a nuclear power ship, which is already very high in the current shipbuilding field.
In the past, the profit rate of building a ship could reach 20% to 30%. Now the shipbuilding industry generally has a profit rate of 2%, 3%, or 5%. Sometimes the profit of a ship can only be equal to the tax. 5% is considered very high.
profit margin.
However, the Nuclear Power Shipbuilding Corporation is different from traditional shipbuilding companies in that it has a strong technological monopoly.
To put it bluntly, only this company can build nuclear power ships, which also means that only this company can do the logistics and maintenance. It is not a one-time deal. This is the real source of income.
As the time period increases, the money earned from this project will far exceed the money earned from building a nuclear power ship and selling it.
And the most important thing is that the harvest can be guaranteed despite droughts and floods.
Not only that, the more nuclear power ships sold, the more money you make.
Calculated comprehensively, the total net profit margin of nuclear power ship companies on nuclear power ships can reach 25%. If it were not for the fact that military procurement and logistics maintenance are not very profitable, the net profit margin can definitely be pushed up to about 30%.
, to restore the profit scale of the previous shipbuilding industry.
After all, this is high-end industrial manufacturing, and it has a strong technological monopoly attribute, so it must have high value-added profits.
It's just that they are not as profitable as power operators, but in the same field of shipbuilding industry, compared with those shipbuilding companies with only 2% or 3% profit, that is a profit gap of ten times, which is already a huge difference.
An order of magnitude.
It is worth mentioning that nuclear power ships will be scrapped after 35 years of service life. In fact, they may not wait until the end of their scrapping period and they will withdraw from the stage of history. They may only operate for about 25 to 30 years.
The reason is that in 25 to 30 years, the super new energy factory, the space photovoltaic power station in space, will be completed and put into operation.
Once this big thing is put into operation, it will be great. It can transmit unlimited microwaves directly from space to the ground. Wherever power supply is needed, a ground energy receiver can be built locally to transmit power directly wirelessly.
Space photovoltaic power stations can provide power for all human production and entertainment activities on the entire earth's surface without any pressure. Without mentioning the expansion of total energy consumption for all mankind, it can be said to be inexhaustible, and the electricity bill can still be
It's so cheap that it seems like it's free.
Of course, when that day comes, humankind's demand and consumption of energy will also rapidly increase exponentially, because space activities will be unprecedentedly frequent.
At that time, it was inevitable that nuclear power ships would withdraw from the stage of history. First of all, convenience was eliminated instantly.
Nuclear power ships can supply power in coastal areas, but space photovoltaic power stations can transmit power wirelessly anywhere on the earth, whether inland, along the coast, at sea, or even at the North and South Poles. As long as there are receiving stations on the ground, power can be delivered wirelessly.
Microwave transmission speed is the speed of light.
The same is true even on the other side of the earth, because there will be transfer stations in space. If the power transmission location is on the other side of the earth, a transfer station will be deployed in the orbit on the other side. The space photoelectric power station will first wirelessly transmit the energy to
The transfer station is then transported to the other side of the earth, thereby achieving coverage anywhere in the world.
Not only is it more convenient than a nuclear power ship, it has more application scenarios than a nuclear power ship, and the electricity price is also a steal.
Today's nuclear power ships have unparalleled competitiveness in terms of electricity prices. In the future, when facing space photovoltaic power stations, they will also deal with the powerlessness of nuclear power ships just like those of traditional electricity today.
Nuclear power ships are currently able to drive down the price of electricity to such a low price, and still have such high profits, because traditional electricity inevitably consumes a large amount of energy during long-distance transmission, while nuclear power ships do not suffer such large losses, and conversely
It's all about profit.
In the future, space photovoltaic power stations will directly absorb the sun's energy, which is inexhaustible. Although the energy loss during wireless microwave transmission is also very large, the energy base received by the photopower power station is too huge.
It is so huge that there is no need to worry about waste. The energy loss is as funny as worrying about the energy wasted by the sun every day. Anyway, it absorbs energy from the sun, and the sun releases energy all the time, and it also releases 50
Billions of years.
When will human civilization be able to fly out of the solar system? There is no need to worry about this now.
"The current confirmed procurement of nuclear power ships includes 12 for the military, 55 for State Grid's domestic operations, and 55 for overseas operations. That's a total purchase of 122." Fang Hong looked at the materials in his hands and looked at himself.
He said, secretly thinking about something.
With the purchase of these 122 ships alone, Nuclear Power Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd. can lock in a revenue scale of 1.03 trillion yuan in advance and a net profit of 117 billion yuan.
Fang Hong thought for a while and couldn't help but add: "On average, only 4 boats can be launched a year. This efficiency is too slow. We must significantly increase production capacity."
In fact, being able to launch four nuclear power ships in one year is already quite an exaggerated efficiency, which is equivalent to launching one in three months. Foreign shipbuilding companies simply cannot achieve this speed, but Fang Hong is obviously still not satisfied.
If we follow the efficiency of launching one ship in three months, then when the 122nd ship is launched, we will have to wait until 30 years later. In 30 years, the space photovoltaic power station will be put into operation. Isn’t it that the 122nd nuclear power ship has just been launched?
Will you withdraw from the stage of history when you enter the water?
At the end, Fang Hong immediately made a decision: "Give me an extra five times to increase the production capacity, which means launching 20 nuclear power ships a year."
Tian Jiayi was stunned for a moment and then said: "The speed of 20 ships a year cannot be achieved even if the nuclear power ship company's production capacity is exceeded, and the cost of the production line cannot be recovered."
Fang Hong said calmly: "Of course I know this, and I didn't say that the nuclear power ship company would be responsible for the construction of 122 nuclear power ships. Seven of the world's top 10 shipyards are in China. The nuclear power ship company will increase its production capacity.
The efficiency of launching 5 ships a year will be enough, and the gap of the other 15 ships can be left to several other domestic super shipyards."
