Chapter 1307: Discordant Guy

China's Beidou positioning system has formed a network after four years of further efforts, and although it cannot completely cover the whole world, it can cover Asia, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and Europe, which greatly facilitates the navigation of ships and greatly improves the accuracy of missiles guided by the global positioning system.

China's nuclear weapons have also been miniaturized, intercontinental missiles can be sent to any corner of the world, nuclear submarines carrying intercontinental ballistics and nuclear weapons can swim on the bottom of the sea for a long time, to ensure that China has the ability to strike back a second time in the event of an enemy nuclear weapon strike, and can inflict heavy losses on any powerful country, including the United States and the Soviet Union.

In addition, with the help of the Soviet Union, France and other countries, China has developed and built second-generation nuclear power plants, and the Qin-Shan nuclear power plant has been put into commercial use and generates electricity. In the previous life, the Qin-Shan nuclear power plant adopted the first generation of nuclear power technology and began to pour the first tank of concrete in March 1985, and after four years of the first phase of the project, it has entered the stage of equipment installation, and will be connected to the grid in June 1991 for power generation, thus ending the history of no nuclear power in mainland China. The Qin-Shan Nuclear Power Plant in this life started only one year earlier than the previous life, that is, in June 1984, the construction began to pour the first tank of concrete, but this nuclear power plant is the use of foreign technology, the use of foreign equipment, components, unlike the previous Qin-Shan Nuclear Power Plant is domestic, all rely on their own strength.

Therefore, its construction speed is much faster than the previous life, only more than two years to enter the equipment installation stage, and in April 1987 began to be connected to the grid for power generation, the first phase of the project power generation capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts, is four times that of the previous Qin-Shan nuclear power plant, the technical content and safety level are much higher than the nuclear power plants of the same era.

Followed by. China has also begun construction of the Daya-Bay nuclear power plant. However, this construction is completely contrary to the previous life, because China has accumulated a lot of technology and experience in the construction of the Qin-Shan nuclear power plant, so this time China decided to build it on its own and completely rely on its own strength.

In fact, in the construction of the Qin-Shan nuclear power plant, China bought a large number of technology patents from France, as well as a large number of technologies from the Soviet Union. In addition, in the course of exchanges and study with foreign experts and their own research, China's technological level has reached the advanced level in the world and has trained a large number of nuclear experts.

This is not because of the benefits brought by Guo Shucheng's rebirth, but because China also had a large number of nuclear scientists and experts who were at the forefront of the world in its previous life. China has developed its own hydrogen bombs and neutron bombs, and has developed its own nuclear submarines. Thanks to these scientists and experts, they have always kept up with the frontiers of nuclear science and have not opened too much gap with developed countries such as Europe and the United States. In this life, because of more technical exchanges with foreign scientists, and because of the guidance of foreign counterparts, he has made greater achievements.

In the past, the Qin-Shan nuclear power plant was developed and built by China itself, while the subsequent Daya-Bay nuclear power plant was completed under the guidance of French experts, with the introduction of British and French equipment, and at the same time under the supervision of American companies. The reason for this strange phenomenon. The first one was able to be built by itself, but the second one needed the help of foreigners because of the peculiarities of the Daya-Bay Nuclear Power Plant when it was built.

The Daya-Bay Nuclear Power Plant was built by Chinese mainland to ease Hong Kong's power shortage, at the beginning of the demonstration. Hong Kong, which lacks electricity, is very happy and grateful to the mainland for its sake, and hopes that the nuclear power plant can start construction and generate electricity as soon as possible. Solve their much-needed problems as soon as possible.

However, when the Daya-Bay nuclear power plant really starts. The people of Hong Kong, on the other hand, strongly opposed it, because they were frightened by the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union, and feared that the mainland's nuclear power plants would also repeat the same problems, so millions of people signed a petition against the mainland's construction of a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay.

The Chernobyl nuclear power plant was the first nuclear power plant built by the Soviet Union on the territory of the Ukrainian republic. It was once considered the safest and most reliable nuclear power plant in the world. However, on April 26, 1986, the No. 4 nuclear reactor of the nuclear power plant suddenly caught fire while half-baking, causing a nuclear leakage accident that caused a serious nuclear leakage accident, and the radiation dose produced was more than 400 times that of the radioactive contamination caused by the atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima. The explosion completely damaged the unit, leaked more than 8 tons of radioactive material, and dispersed dust with the wind, causing many parts of Europe to be contaminated by nuclear radiation, causing a large number of casualties and causing immeasurable environmental losses.

Thirty-one people died within three months of the accident, after which tens of thousands of people died due to radiation induction, more than 130,000 people suffered from various radiation diseases, and about 120,000 people in a 30-kilometer radius were forced to evacuate. In order to eliminate the consequences of the accident, the local government has spent a lot of human and material resources.

If this kind of accident happens at the Daya-Bay nuclear power plant, Hong Kong, which is a small projectile, may not be able to live in peace for a moment.

In addition, the central government and Britain were negotiating the future of Hong Kong at that time, and in order to smooth the negotiations, the Chinese government had to make huge concessions, not only delaying the construction of the nuclear power plant, but also spending huge sums of money to import equipment and invite experts from France, Britain and the United States to eliminate their concerns.

Even with the introduction of French nuclear island technology and equipment from the United Kingdom, and the quality assurance provided by an American company, the construction and construction of the Daya-Bay nuclear power plant has gone through various ups and downs before it can finally be restarted.

In February 1994 and May 1994, two generating units of 1.98 million kilowatts were connected to the grid to generate electricity, using pressurized water reactor technology.

In this life, because China no longer has negotiations with Britain on the Hong Kong issue, coupled with the rapid development of China, the dominant position of Hong Kong and the mainland is not as obvious as in the previous life, and the prosperity of Qionghai Island is no less than that of Hong Kong, and the area of Qionghai Island is not comparable to that of Hong Kong, the sense of pride in Hong Kong's heart is far from being so strong, but there is a kind of hesitation and a helpless mood, and there is not too much worry about the mainland's construction of a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay. In their minds, China's technology is much stronger than that of the Soviet Union, and it is no worse than that of the United States and Europe, and since European and American countries have built nuclear power plants, then China can also build them, and the Chernobyl nuclear accident in the Soviet Union is a case, which is caused by the backward technology and backward management of the Soviet Union, and the failure of the Soviet Union cannot be forcibly applied to China.

Therefore, Chinese mainland, which has sufficient technical reserves, has naturally begun to build its own nuclear power plant in Daya-Bay.

These nuclear technology reserves have also been used by the Chinese side for nuclear submarines, which has greatly improved the technical level of the nuclear reactors in China's nuclear submarines, greatly reduced the size of the nuclear reactors, reduced the noise, and increased their output power.

By the end of 1987, China's foreign exchange reserves were as high as $500 billion, which was not comparable with the $2,847.3 billion in 2010 in the previous life, but this figure was much higher than the $165.5 billion in 2000 in the previous life. In the previous life, the foreign exchange reserves in 1987 were only a pitiful 293.2 billion US dollars, a difference of 172 times!

It is indeed not a huge amount for a country as big as China to have $500 billion in foreign exchange reserves, because the scale of China's current economy is far larger than that of the previous life in 2000, and after these years of development, it is not uncommon for the United States and the Soviet Union to make profits on both sides, even if it exports computers, and it should be able to earn so much foreign exchange from computer exports, and it also exports a large amount of weapons to Iraq, Iran, and other countries.

Isn't it strange that we can't compare from the numbers, we should also analyze the current situation, to consider two factors: first, these foreign exchange reserves are realized on the basis of China's large-scale domestic construction, a large number of imports of foreign equipment, foreign raw materials, how much iron ore needs to be imported for hundreds of millions of tons of steel production every year? In order to build high-rise buildings everywhere and to build railway bridges, how much engineering equipment with better performance needs to be imported? In order to improve the domestic industrial level, how many high-tech equipment such as large hydraulic presses need to be imported? If these raw materials and high-end equipment are not imported, China's foreign exchange reserves will naturally be more.

Second, after four years of hard work, the renminbi has become an international currency second only to the US dollar, and many transactions are traded in the renminbi, and there is no need to deposit them in US dollars. The so-called foreign exchange reserves are mainly accumulated through transactions with the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and other countries, and are not settled with other countries.

Because the state has money, China has gradually paid pensions to the elderly in rural areas, implemented nine-year free compulsory education, and provided free lunches to school students.

Since the beginning of reform and opening up in 1978, China has undergone earth-shaking changes in just ten years, everything in China has changed, and almost no one is dissatisfied with the current life.

However, the international community is full of mixed feelings about China's changes, although a few countries are happy to watch China's life flourish day by day, hoping that China will undergo better changes, but many more countries have begun to be jealous, red-eyed, and even resentful. At the instigation, instigation, and instigation of certain countries, several countries have become the vanguard of opposing and resisting China. They are Japan, India, the Philippines and Australia.

The reason why Japan has become the vanguard of China's development is because of fear. Since the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan has not done anything good to China, first forcing China to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, participating in the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition in 1900, launching the September 18 Incident, and then a full-scale invasion of China, which ended their crimes until the end of World War II.

They are afraid that China will become stronger.
