Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Discussions in the conference room are still going on, and the defense issues of the Three Gorges Dam have been resolved in stages.

Fang Yu looked at the scene of everyone's heated discussion and suddenly thought of another possibility.

He tapped the table lightly, attracting everyone's attention.

"Great Chief, all the chiefs,"

Fang Yu stood up straight, his voice steady and confident.

"In addition to the means of obtaining electricity that we have just discussed, there is another way to obtain large amounts of electricity quickly and efficiently."

“That’s building a nuclear power plant!”

The conference room suddenly became quiet, and all eyes turned to Fang Yu.

Nuclear energy, this word is still very unfamiliar to many people here.

The chief's eyes narrowed slightly, and he twirled the cigarette gently in his hand, obviously very interested in this new idea.

"Please continue, Comrade Xiao Fang,"

The chief gestured for Fang Yu to explain in detail.

"Please tell us, old-fashioned people, what exactly is a nuclear power plant?"

Fang Yu walked to the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and quickly drew a simplified cross-section of a nuclear reactor.

"Both nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons utilize the energy released when nuclear fuel such as uranium undergoes fission, but their purposes and control methods are completely different."

"Mushroom bombs create a burst of energy in an instant, while nuclear power plants control this fission reaction, releasing heat slowly and steadily. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity."

His chalk made a crisp sound on the blackboard, and the picture gradually became complete.

"The biggest advantage of nuclear power plants is their incredible energy density."

"The complete fission of one kilogram of raw material can release energy equivalent to burning 2500 tons of coal."

"That is to say, a medium-sized nuclear power plant only needs tens of tons of fuel each year to generate electricity equivalent to millions of tons of coal."

The elderly Energy Minister's eyes widened in shock.

"This...this energy density is so high?"

"Yes," Fang Yu nodded affirmatively, "and nuclear power plants have several other significant advantages."

"First, it doesn't rely on weather conditions. Unlike hydropower, which is affected by seasons, and unlike wind and solar power, which are limited by natural conditions, it can generate electricity stably and uninterruptedly 24 hours a day."

"Secondly, nuclear power plants occupy a small area. A 1000-megawatt nuclear power plant only requires about 1-2 square kilometers."

"A coal-fired power plant with the same power generation capacity would require a much larger area, not to mention the supporting coal mines and transportation systems."

“Third, nuclear power plants have a long service life, generally operating for 40-60 years, far exceeding other types of power plants.”

The Minister of Water Resources frowned and raised the question.

"What about the construction cost? With such advanced technology, the construction cost must be very high, right?"

Fang Yu nodded calmly.

"You're right. Nuclear power plants do require a large initial investment."

"The construction period is also long, and it will take about 5-7 years to be completed and put into production."

"But in the long run, nuclear power has very low operating costs, fuel costs account for only a small part of the cost of generating electricity, and the overall economics are very good."

These words caused a murmur of discussion, and the chief's eyes flashed with thought.

He took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand and slowly exhaled smoke rings.

“What about security? What are the potential risks of this technology?”

Fang Yu did not avoid this question.

"Nuclear power plants do have potential risks, primarily the possibility of radiation leaks."

"But as long as the design is reasonable, the operation is standardized, and a strict safety management system is established, these risks can be controlled."

He added several diagrams of the security system on the blackboard.

"In fact, we can design multiple safety barriers, including the reactor pressure vessel, containment, emergency cooling system, etc., to form a defense in depth..."

Fang Yu's voice had just fallen.

A silver-haired old man from the Academy of Sciences slowly stood up.

Although he was shocked by Fang Yu's idea of ​​a nuclear power plant, his professional instinct led him to ask key questions.

"Chief Engineer Fang, theoretically this is indeed a brilliant plan."

“But with our current level of technology, can we really build a safe and reliable nuclear power plant?”

There was a mixture of doubt and anticipation in his voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Hu, who was dressed in military uniform, suddenly interrupted him, his voice low and serious.

“It’s not a question of whether or not it can be done.”

Everyone's eyes turned to the military representative.

"The key is, what if this thing gets hacked and causes a leak?"

"We all know the terrible consequences of nuclear radiation."

"Once a nuclear power plant is destroyed, the surrounding area for hundreds of kilometers may become an uninhabited area. The risk is too great."

The meeting hall was silent. Lin Hu's question was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Experts from the Academy of Sciences also looked worried. Nuclear leakage is indeed the most worrying problem in nuclear power plant safety.

Fang Yu, however, looked calm. He walked slowly to the center of the podium, holding the edge of the table with both hands, and scanned the audience with a determined gaze.

"From a technical perspective, it is not difficult for us to build a nuclear power plant."

His voice was calm but powerful.

"We have already mastered key nuclear physics knowledge and material technologies in previous research and development."

"The key technology of nuclear power plants—controlled nuclear fission reactions—is similar to previously developed weapons, but the control method is different."

Lin Hu frowned.

"My concern is not about technology, but about safety."

"If attacked, nuclear leakage will cause catastrophic consequences!"

Fang Yu nodded, but a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Lin's concerns are justified, but we don't need to worry too much."

"Because we can declare a clear policy: any attack on the Dragon Kingdom nuclear power plant will be regarded as the beginning of a world-destroying war, and we will carry out indiscriminate nuclear retaliation."

This sentence dropped a bombshell in the conference hall.

The participants all sat up straight, their eyes focused on Fang Yu.

"This is the internationally accepted 'deterrence' theory,"

Fang Yu continued to explain.

"Once we have nuclear power plants and proton bombs, we can establish a complete deterrent system."

"Relying on the principle of 'mutually assured destruction', even the Eagle Sauce and the Russian Bear would not dare to attack our nuclear facilities easily."

"Mutual assured destruction?" asked an old expert from the Academy of Sciences in confusion.

“Yes, the abbreviation is MAD, which stands for Mutually Assured Destruction.”

Fang Yu walked to the blackboard and wrote down these letters.

"The core of this doctrine is: if the enemy attacks our nuclear facilities or territory, we will use weapons to launch a devastating counterattack to ensure that the enemy also suffers unacceptable losses."

"Under this kind of deterrence, a rational adversary would avoid attacking because the costs would be too high."

The conference room fell into a thoughtful silence as everyone digested this subversive strategic concept.

"It's like two people pointing guns at each other's heads,"

Lin Hu suddenly spoke.

"No one dared to pull the trigger because the other party would also shoot."

"Precise metaphor,"

Fang Yu nodded approvingly.

"In this era, peace is not based on goodwill, but on fear—the fear of devastating consequences."

“This ‘balance of terror’ may sound terrifying, but it is the most stable foundation of the international order…”
