Germany and France are two extremes. In France, most of the electricity is provided by nuclear energy. Germany, which also lacks energy, is very opposed to nuclear energy. Environmentalists often block the construction of nuclear power plants.

As a result, Germany began to rely on natural gas. The problem was that Germany did not produce natural gas itself. This dependence caused a huge crisis in later generations. In the end, the EU compromised and admitted that nuclear power and natural gas are both clean energy sources. This is also the case between France and Germany.

As a result of negotiations between the two countries, the Germans continue to dismantle nuclear power and buy natural gas at high prices, while France continues to use nuclear energy with pride.

Now, it is possible to transplant nuclear power to the sea without polluting their land environment, right?

Of course, Qin Tao doesn't know whether it will work or not. He just said that since this project has started, it might as well be bigger.

Of course, Qin Tao did not come alone. The team he brought boarded the nuclear submarine and began to check the internal situation to see whether it was suitable to be converted into a floating nuclear power plant on the sea. Qin Tao, Nikolai and others came to the same place in the science and technology.

Another base on the La Peninsula, where a large number of surface ships are parked.

At its peak, the tonnage of Mao's floating fleet reached more than half that of the United States. After the collapse of the Red Empire, the strength of the navy weakened rapidly, and a large number of warships had to be retired. The fleet of the glorious Red Empire has become the now broken fleet.

Broken and rusty scrap metal.

Looking at the forest of warship masts in the port, Qin Tao's heart was filled with emotion again. When he looked at one of the warships, he couldn't help but ask: "Is that the Kirov?"

The first ship of Da Mao's most powerful nuclear-powered cruiser, the Kirov was parked quietly among a bunch of miscellaneous warships, looking so lonely.

"Yes, it is the Kirov, but now it is called the Admiral Ushakov. It had an accident in 1990. It went into the dock for repairs twice but was not repaired. There is no hope of repairs anymore.

The nuclear reactor went out in 1992 and was later towed here," Uskimenko said.

The Kirov, which was in service in 1980, was once the pride of Lao Maozi. However, who would have thought that it would suffer from frequent malfunctions. During an accelerated voyage under non-combat conditions, the main reduction gearbox on the ship was damaged!

This really frustrated the Northern Fleet. This thing usually doesn't break down. Even if the warship is scrapped, the gearbox is still good. It would be a waste if this huge ship was scrapped directly because of this, so it still needs to be repaired.

.

Originally, the relevant departments suggested cutting off all the decks above the gear box and lifting the gear box out. However, the Navy disagreed and proposed cutting a section of the bottom structure at the bottom of the ship and taking out the gear box from below.

Warships cannot just be scrapped. They have to be repaired, cut off, and docked.

So, after spending a huge price and occupying the precious dock for a long time, it was finally repaired and let's conduct sea experiments. As a result, the gearbox was good, but the port side steam generating device leaked again in the primary circuit!

This is called misfortunes that never come singly, and the house leaks when it rains all night. Fortunately, everyone has experience, so they cut it from below, took it out and sent it back for repair.

After two major surgeries and a huge amount of money, the Kirov was finally repaired. The old ship was looking radiant and ready to sail to the Mediterranean to perform combat duties. As a result, it had not completed one-third of the voyage, and the starboard side

The primary circuit of the steam generating device leaked again!

Now, I can’t afford to repair it!

Who can withstand such a blow? The Northern Fleet was also disgusted. After that, this warship has been waiting for its final fate. In 1992, the nuclear reactor shut down and was completely unable to move. However, it would cost a lot to dismantle it.

For a long time, Lao Maozi had no money, so he just left it like this.

"Qin, are you interested in this warship?" Nicholas asked Qin Tao.

Qin Tao shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, if I take it back, I will definitely be scolded by the navy!"

The Kirov has frequent problems. On the one hand, it is due to the brutal operation of the sailors by Lao Maozi. On the other hand, it is also a design problem. There must be design flaws. Qin Tao does not want to drag it back. What if it brings bad luck?

?

Even if it is replaced by a boiler, the nuclear reactor will have to be cut off when he goes back and Lao Maozi will deal with the scrapped nuclear reactor. Qin Tao doesn't want to cause trouble, and there is no need for subsequent processing when renovating those offshore floating nuclear power plants.

"If it's Type 1164, it's more or less the same. I guess you won't agree," Qin Tao said.

Type 1164 is the Glorious class. There is already one in China. If we get another one and modify it according to the same plan, then our two Glorious class ships and four Modern class ships will make the opponent wet their pants.

However, there are only three Glory-class ships!

"Of course not. The Type 1164 cruiser is the only large warship we have left. Let's take a look at the Type 956." Uskimenko said: "There are several here, you can choose."

"This is the first ship, the Hyundai. It stopped maintenance after 1989 and has been waiting in the port."

"This is the second Despair. It was deregistered this year. However, as the second Type 956 destroyer, its condition is not very good."

"The semi-finished product there is the Impeccable. It was originally undergoing major repairs in 1993, but then the repair costs ran out, so it has been kept there."

"The Encourage was also deregistered this year. This ship is in good condition for the time being."

There are only a dozen Modern-class destroyers in total. Now, most of the Modern-class destroyers in the Northern Fleet are waiting for an unknown fate!

"Let's just take the Inspiration." Qin Tao said: "The modern class is too old, the name of Despair is not good, and the Impeccable is a semi-finished product, and only the Inspiration is left. If it is inconvenient to drag it back for repair, we will just dismantle it and sell it for scrap.

Iron, in short, I will renovate two other offshore floating power stations for you, even if it means losing money, who makes us good friends."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Nicholas nodded: "Qin, you took over this kind of task just after I took office. You are supportive of our navy. I am very grateful."

"It's all as it should be." Qin Tao said: "Is that the Gorshkov over there?"

In 1994, the aircraft carrier Gorshkov, whose boiler had exploded, was still parked there quietly, extremely lonely. Since Asan's Super Sun King had already landed in the Far East, the Gorshkov

No one wants it anymore.

"Yes, we will start repairing it when we have sufficient funds in the future," Uskimenko said.

In addition to the Kuznetsov, there is the Gorshkov in front of me. This warship is the fourth ship of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier. It was originally in the best condition. Who would have thought that it would also explode the boiler!

Once the boiler explodes, the lower deck will have to be cut open. This is definitely a big project. In Lao Maozi's current situation, it is simply impossible to repair it. Even if funds are raised for repairs, Lao Maozi does not have a suitable boiler.

, the manufacturer that produced aircraft carrier boilers has gone bankrupt! When the Kuznetsov was overhauled later, it was a real ordeal.

Qin Tao felt emotional in his heart. However, he could not say anything else at this time. After all, it would be difficult to trick Damao into selling this aircraft-carrying cruiser. He would have to find someone like Ah San.

There seems to be no other scammer in the world.

"If you need help during maintenance, just let us know and our Mingzhou Group will try our best to help."

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Nicholas nodded: "Yes, if this kind of ship needs to be repaired, our strength is not enough and we need your support!"

From now on, these things will be a headache for Nikolai. For the development of the navy, they can of course sell some of the navy's belongings, but the things that support the facade must still be kept.

"A floating dock is needed to repair this kind of ship. When you plan to repair this ship, you can order a floating dock from us." Qin Tao said: "With a floating dock, we can better repair the aircraft carrier. You old-fashioned

Floating docks should be eliminated.”

In order to repair an aircraft carrier, a floating dock was specially ordered?

Everyone present was a little embarrassed. They all knew that President Qin had a very good relationship with their leader Nicholas, but they still couldn't agree to such a deceptive request!

"Okay, everything is over. Next, let's go have a drink." Qin Tao said.

Putting aside these heavy topics, and finally looking at these warships with a sense of history, Qin Tao knew in his heart that the glory that belonged to Mao had passed, and the glory that belonged to the motherland was slowly coming!

Huating, the third design office of Mingzhou Group.

"Everyone, what happens next is up to you!" Krasnopolsky said to the people in front of him: "We have just received the design task of a floating nuclear power plant at sea. The design fee is one million. Are you interested?"

One million! Pozharski and others' eyes immediately lit up, but later they hesitated: "We have never designed a floating nuclear power plant on the sea!"

They want to make money, but they have to see if they have the ability! They are engaged in nuclear submarines, not floating nuclear power plants. Besides, this kind of thing has only appeared in theory. In reality, it has not yet happened.

Create it.

"But you are familiar with the Type 949 nuclear submarine. You probably don't know that our group has completed negotiations with Moscow and will convert the salvaged Type 949 nuclear submarine into a floating nuclear power plant at sea."

"What?" Pozharsky was stunned, but later he became excited again: "If that's the case, we can still accept this task. We need to modify the entire nuclear power module and install power generation at the back.

Just use the machine! This is really a great idea, who came up with it?”

"Of course Mr. Qin, now that you understand, let's start working! By the way, for your project, we have specially applied for several Loongson computers. You can use those computers for design."

"Okay, we promise to complete the task!"

"By the way, are you familiar with the Type 941 nuclear submarine?"

"Type 941 is also a product of our Ruby Design Bureau. We have come into contact with it before. What's wrong?"

"As long as you have been exposed to it, once you have modified the Type 949, then you can modify the Type 941."

"How is that possible? That is an advanced ballistic missile nuclear submarine! Wouldn't it be a waste if it were converted into a floating power station?"

"It would be a waste not to change it." Krasnopolski said: "Those nuclear submarines that were retired early and whose nuclear reactors still have service life should be changed to better utilize the waste heat. We will make changes in the future.

If there are too many nuclear submarines, maybe a special design office will be set up, so you can just work hard! By the way, for the generator, you can find Golden Sun Electric Co., Ltd. to provide support."

In this way, several people started new jobs and became successful in the field of offshore floating nuclear power plants.

Mao decided to cut off the second half of the nuclear submarine inventory and use it as a floating nuclear power plant. After the news spread, it also caused an uproar in the world.

What is Mao going to do? Can their decommissioned nuclear submarines still be used as floating nuclear power plants? Will this cause a new ecological disaster? Some environmental organizations have begun to raise the banner of opposition again. At the same time, some countries with energy shortages have begun to

Consider the feasibility of this project.

If the nuclear power plant is built on the sea, many problems can be avoided. There is no need to start construction on land, and there will be no locals driving tractors to block the road and oppose the project. If an accident occurs, it can be towed away directly.

There are no inhabited sea areas, and, most importantly, just use sea water to cool down. It will not cause a tragedy like Chernobyl. This is simply their best energy alternative!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On this day, Moscow welcomed a special group of people. Nicholas, who had just taken office, cordially received these people.

"Mr. Nikolay, we heard that you are developing a floating nuclear power plant at sea. Do you have any intention to export this nuclear power plant?"

Looking at the Hans people in front of him, Nicholas was extremely excited. Qin was right. Some countries with energy shortages are still very interested in this kind of nuclear power plant! Before Qin left, he had already bought the potential

The expert analyzed it and expressed some of his thoughts. Now these predictions have come true.

"Of course." Nikolay nodded: "Currently, we are planning to build a nuclear power plant with a thermal power of 380,000 kilowatts. Since it is modified from a second-hand nuclear submarine reactor, the price of this nuclear power plant is cheap and only costs 500 million US dollars.

That’s it.”
