In this strategic cooperation that has a significant impact in the domestic economic circle, Duke has only attended several signing agreements and foundation laying ceremonies. His energy and focus are not on these areas where nothing is known. Instead, he worked with the research team led by Professor Zhu Yunqian to improve the 800mw Lotus Drum D-80 system design, so that it has the ability to start a commercial pilot reactor. This time is more urgent than the second generation Lotus Drum, because the National Development and Reform Commission has opened the gate and released a new nuclear power construction plan.

If Duke can produce design results, the application for Oriental New Energy's first 800mw commercial experimental reactor can be submitted to the Development and Reform Commission as soon as possible.

So when Duke asked Kerry to complete the final simulation test of the D-80 system, the test results showed that all design indicators had high reliability and safety. Duke finally came to an end for the design of this D-80. Liu Jianji, who had been waiting for it, immediately applied to the Development and Reform Commission with Duke's plan.

Originally, according to their plan, they used the 600mw model of D-60 as the main reactor for future nuclear power construction. After all, the power of the D-30 in China is too small and it is not economically cost-effective. The D-60 design was completed relatively early and started construction in Pakistan, which is very important. However, Duke returned to the Lotus Base and found that the D-80 design was almost over, so he asked Dongfang New Energy to wait for the first-class D-80.

Because for China, this new model of reactor is obviously more efficient. The construction of 3 units in a nuclear power plant can provide strong power support for a larger area, making it easier and more efficient in management and maintenance.

The application of Oriental New Energy was quickly approved, and soon they started to build the first D-80 unit in a place in East China that had been selected. In this way, the newly born Oriental Nuclear Energy Company created a new record in the history of world nuclear energy development, and a type of relay type has three different capacity to build commercial experimental reactors at the same time.

Of course, all this is a coincidence and others cannot successfully replicate it. Wouldn't it be said that no country would allow a company to build a commercial experimental reactor with new capacity without the success of small-scale reactors? Even if allowed, no company could create three nuclear reactors with different capacity in about a year.

The design and verification of nuclear power plants is a very complex project. Generally, international nuclear power research institutions can take one or twenty years to launch a new reservoir, let alone develop several reservoirs with different power in a year.

While approving the approval of the three Lotus Reactor D-80 units of Oriental New Energy, the National Development and Reform Commission also approved the construction plan for the four D-80 units of Southern Nuclear Power and the four D-80 units of China National Nuclear Power. It will start construction only when the commercial pilot reactor of Oriental New Energy is successfully put into production.

Suddenly, Duke Lotus Reactor received a large order to build 11 D-80 units in China, which made the expansion of Oriental Nuclear Power in full swing. After some bargaining, the construction cost of the first round of Lotus Reactor D-80 units was set at US$2,500. This price is at least 20% lower than the current so-called third-generation reactor price in the world. This is because Southern Nuclear Power and China National Nuclear Power proposed that they fully support domestic independent intellectual property products that should be discounted, and the cost of domestic nuclear power equipment production and construction should be relatively low.

The characteristic of the operational uranium utilization efficiency of lotus reactors is several times higher than that of similar power plants of foreign countries, they are consciously or unintentionally ignored.

Fortunately, the production cost of lotus piles is not too high. Cai Siqiang and Liu Jianji discussed it several times, but they still accepted the quotation plan from the overall situation. However, this is limited to the domestic market, and the international market will not be less than US$3,500 per kilowatt.

After the lotus piles bloom in China on a large scale and verify their safety, it will not be too big to enter the international market, especially for Europe, which requires safer energy.

After Duke finished all this, it was National Day. This time he gave himself a big vacation at home, did nothing, and just played with his family.

He was teasing his son that day, and the newly born child could only make a sound to his father.

Suddenly Duke's phone rang. Who would call at this time? Duke was a little strange. Logically, even those close friends knew that they were on vacation and would not make any calls at any time.

Duke took a look at the phone number and said it was very unfamiliar. He still brought a foreign area code, which seemed to be an international long distance.

This is even more strange. Although Duke's companies have many foreign branches and have tens of thousands of overseas employees, these employees usually have no level of contact with Duke.

Don't be a liar's phone call, Duke answered the phone with a little suspicion and curiosity.

What came from the phone was an English greeting with a strong Nordic accent, "Is it Dr. Duke? I am Hai Kensten of the Nobel Foundation."

"I am Duke, what's wrong with you?" Duke didn't react at first, but in a flash he heard the key point - the Nobel Foundation, it's difficult...?

"Hello, Dr. Duke, I am very honored to inform you that after the strict selection of the Nobel Prize Selection Committee, you and Professor Andrew have won the physics community this year. Congratulations!"

It turns out that this is true. Even though Duke's psychological quality is already very strong now, he still couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this news. This is the highest honor that scientists on earth can win! Although the Turing Award is known as the Nobel Prize in the computer industry, it is not the Nobel Prize after all. The reputation of the two in the world science and technology industry is still very different.

"Thank you!" Although Duke was excited, his reaction was still very fast.

"If it is convenient, we warmly invite you and Professor Andrew to attend the grand Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden at 4:30 pm on December 10." Hai Kensten invited enthusiastically.

"Thank you, I will seriously consider your invitation." Duke did not dare to agree at once this time, and he had to discuss this matter with everyone. However, Duke still really hopes to have the opportunity to attend. You should know that there are not many Chinese people who can win Nobel scientists, and Duke is the first local scientist from mainland China. This is a historic moment!

If possible, Duke does not want to miss such a historic event.

"Okay, Dr. Duke, there is the contact information I sent to you in your email address de.com. You are welcome to contact me at any time and look forward to your trip to Stockholm."
Chapter completed!
