Chapter 721 721: The Final Skins Frenzy

The reason Chen Yiyang knows about this is because Schaefer told him.After Germany's nuclear power plant was blown up, Schaefer called Chen Yiyang and complained the whole night.

As a broker, he now really doesn't understand what Germany is trying to do.

The most advanced thermal power station was blown up, and the nuclear power plant, which had been inactive for a long time, was also blown up.

Now Germany is left with only natural gas, wind power, and solar power for electricity.

But for the former, because of a fallout with Russia, Germany can only import natural gas from North America.

The price hits a new high every year.

For the latter two, the relevant technologies and equipment are in the hands of Huaxia, and some German politicians do not allow the purchase of related equipment from Huaxia.

As a result, Germany's industrial sector now has no cheap electricity available.

In fact, part of the electricity they are currently using comes from France.

And where does the electricity that France sells to Germany come from?

The answer is France's nuclear power plants.

This has a certain black humor to it.

According to Schaefer, Germany, the birthplace of countless famous philosophers, is now perfectly enacting the ultimate philosophical outcome.

Which is suicide.

This is quite the hellish joke.

So now Schaefer wants to quickly help some German companies find places in Huaxia to invest and build factories.

This way, at least there will be some income.

Additionally, he recently got another job.

That is to help some Huaxia smelting plants purchase scrap copper in Germany.

Because with the closure of many factories in Germany and the decline in industrial capacity, a lot of copper equipment and raw materials have been abandoned.

If these scrap copper are brought back home and smelted, they can be reused.

Germany, due to its poor smelting technology, has a lower purchase price for scrap copper compared to domestic prices, so in fair purchases, German companies can't compete with Huaxia companies.

But now, some German legislators have released statements saying they want to prevent Huaxia companies from buying scrap copper on a large scale in Europe.

Schaefer needs to mediate to ensure the ban doesn't actually come down.

At the very least, the relevant ban should be delayed until Huaxia's smelting enterprises have cleaned up Germany's scrap copper.

"Actually, compared to nuclear power, nuclear fusion inherently has essential safety." The person in charge at BEST wasted no time in introducing to Chen Yiyang the safety of their nuclear fusion setup.

Unlike nuclear power, nuclear fusion reactions require extremely high temperature and precise magnetic confinement to sustain.

If the conditions are not met, the reaction will automatically terminate. In this field, this phenomenon is called the self-extinguishing effect. Therefore, nuclear fusion devices are much safer than nuclear fission devices because even in the event of an earthquake or other disasters, a nuclear fusion device will not suffer a meltdown like a nuclear fission reactor, and there is no risk of a runaway reaction.

Additionally, BEST's fusion fuel is deuterium and tritium, and the main product is inert helium, which does not produce long-lived high-level radioactive nuclear waste. The small amount of activated material is of low radioactivity and has a short half-life, decaying to safety levels within about 30 years.

This is also why we could get approval so quickly to start building the fusion device.

Because even with some unknown situations unknown to us, leading to an incident with the nuclear fusion device,

it would not cause pollution and destruction to the surrounding environment."

After a lengthy explanation, Chen Yiyang understood.

In terms of safety, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are worlds apart.

Nuclear fission is like harnessing hydropower. Once the device gets out of control, it can trigger an unstoppable deluge.

Therefore, although nuclear energy has stood the test of time and has been used by humans for a long time, people are still afraid of the dangers posed by nuclear power plants.

In contrast, nuclear fusion is like harnessing wind power, with no inherent safety risks. Even if an accident occurs, it would not cause destruction to the surroundings.

This is also why humans have long seen nuclear fusion as humanity's ultimate power generation mode.

This thing is indeed too useful.

Moreover, even if a person in charge is negligent and causes an incident like the one in Japan, it wouldn't threaten the surrounding environment and people in other countries.

To allow humanity to use electricity generated by nuclear fusion as soon as possible, the world has previously come together to research fusion devices.

They even established the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor.

This cooperation is also seen as the only international cooperative scientific research project with potential in recent decades and is considered a symbol of human solidarity.

Unfortunately, requiring the whole world to jointly develop a technology was indeed too idealistic.

The reality is that countries eventually returned to the state of conducting their own research.

As in "The Wandering Earth," without external pressure, getting humanity to unite is really too difficult.

However, before leaving, the person in charge also told Chen Yiyang.

This BEST nuclear fusion device, although it can be built and generate electricity by 2027,

is still some distance from a commercial nuclear power plant.

Because the current domestic fusion development roadmap is HL to BEST to CFETR (China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor), only then can commercial fusion power plants be developed.

We can only say that this BEST is just the beginning, but everything develops step by step.

Currently, the country has taken the first step.

After returning to Lin'an, Chen Yiyang dealt with company affairs while keeping an eye on the recent CSGO market.

On the surface, the CSGO market appears calm.

But actually, under the surveillance of the monitoring software developed by Chen Yiyang, the frequency of purchasing large quantities of low-priced red items has decreased.

This is not because the probability of the CSGO drop system's update has decreased.

It's because the update for the drop system is about to be released.

Those insiders who are in the know have cut down on their purchases to avoid being caught, waiting for the drop system to officially launch.

Therefore, Chen Yiyang also instructed the little accountant to stop sweeping.

The little accountant has set up around one hundred and twenty accounts, storing red items worth at least two million.

Once the drop system is in place, this two-million-worth red inventory could easily multiply tenfold, reaching twenty million.

"Boss, did you really get insider information?" The little accountant leaned over to Chen Yiyang.

"I recently joined several CSGO buying groups, but people in the groups are saying that knife skins and glove items will continue to rise in the future.

I accidentally revealed one account the other day, and they saw it. They checked my inventory, saying that stocking up on so many red items will surely lead to a heavy loss, and they laughed at me."

"Who laughed at you?" Chen Yiyang glanced at one of the buying groups the little accountant joined and saw that it was the group leader mocking him.

This leader earned at least hundreds of thousands from the last black sticker price surge.

So they set up a group, claiming to help others get rich together.
