Chapter 1563 [Full production capacity]

If there are 55 nuclear power ships, that would be a huge net profit scale of 2.75 trillion, and the average annual net profit over 35 years would be about 78.5 billion.

Such a business is not only super profitable, but also has a strong monopoly attribute, which is destined to be out of reach for ordinary companies. Even if private companies are greedy, they can only think about it. Electricity is something that private companies cannot get involved in.

What's more, this also involves nuclear energy, and there are a series of high-tech technologies that the country strictly restricts exports.

The operator who buys nuclear power ships to generate electricity and sell electricity makes so much money, but the Nuclear Power Ship Group Company that built this ship makes far less money than the operator.

Military procurement only gives 5% of the net profit, and the civilian power generation fee is higher, which is 12% of the net profit.

The cost of a nuclear power ship of 8.5 billion refers to the civilian purchase price, that is, the power operating company spends 8.5 billion to buy a ship, and a nuclear power ship can make a net profit of 910 million, and it can make a net profit of 379 million by selling it to the military.

On the other hand, an operator can earn 50 billion yuan by purchasing a ship and operating it for 35 years, which is 55 times the difference.

But the industry attributes are different, one is manufacturing and the other is service industry, so there is no comparison between the two.

The Nuclear Power Ship Group Company can make a net profit of 12% by building a nuclear power ship, which is very high in the current shipbuilding field.

In the past, the profit margin of building a ship could reach 20% to 30%, but now the shipbuilding industry is generally 2%, 3%, and 5%. Sometimes the profit of a ship can only be equal to the tax, and 5% is considered a very high profit margin.

However, the Nuclear Power Ship Group Company is different from traditional shipbuilding companies, and it has a strong technical monopoly attribute.

In plain words, only this company can build nuclear power ships, which also means that only this company can do logistics maintenance, and it is not a one-time deal. This is the real big source of income.

Once the time period is extended, the money earned from this part will far exceed the money earned from building a nuclear power ship and selling it.

And the most important thing is that it can be profitable regardless of drought or flood.

Not only that, the more nuclear power ships sold, the more money they make.

In summary, the total net profit margin of nuclear power ship companies can reach 25%. If it weren't for the fact that military procurement and logistics maintenance are not very profitable, the net profit margin can definitely be pushed up to about 30%, restoring the profit scale of the shipbuilding industry at that time.

After all, this is all high-end industrial manufacturing, and it has a strong technical monopoly attribute, so there must be high value-added profits.

It's just that it's not as profitable as power operators, but in the field of shipbuilding peers, compared with those ship companies with only 2% and 3% profit, that's a tenfold profit gap, which is already an order of magnitude difference.

It is worth mentioning that nuclear power ships will be scrapped after 35 years of service life. In reality, they may exit the stage of history before the scrapping period arrives, and may only operate for about 25 to 30 years.

The reason is that after 25 to 30 years, the space solar power station in space, a super new energy factory, will be completed and put into operation.

Once this big guy is put into operation, it will be amazing. It can directly transmit unlimited microwaves from space to the ground. Wherever there is a need for power supply, a ground energy receiver can be built locally to directly transmit power wirelessly.

Space light power stations can provide power for all production and entertainment activities of all mankind on the entire surface of the earth without any pressure. Without mentioning the expansion of total energy consumption by all mankind, it can be said to be inexhaustible, and the electricity bill can be as cheap as free.

Of course, when that day comes, human demand and consumption of energy will also rapidly increase exponentially, because space activities will be unprecedentedly frequent.

At that time, it is inevitable that nuclear power ships will withdraw from the stage of history. First of all, convenience will be killed in seconds.

Nuclear power ships can only supply power in coastal areas, but space light power stations can transmit power wirelessly at any location on the earth, whether inland, coastal or offshore, or even in the North and South Poles. As long as there is a receiving station on the ground, power can be delivered. Wireless microwave transmission is at the speed of light.

Even on the other side of the earth, it is the same, because there will be a transfer station in space. If the transmission site is on the other side of the earth, a transfer station will be deployed above the orbit on the other side. The space solar power station will first transmit the energy wirelessly to the transfer station, and then the transfer station will transmit it to the other side of the earth, thus achieving coverage of any location in the world.

Not only is it more convenient than nuclear power ships, it has more application scenarios than nuclear power ships, and the electricity price is also at a second-kill level.

Today's nuclear power ships have unparalleled competitiveness in electricity prices. In the future, when facing space solar power stations, they will also deal with the powerlessness of nuclear power ships like the current traditional power.

Nuclear power ships can currently reduce electricity prices to such a low price and have such high profits, just because traditional electricity inevitably loses a lot of energy during long-distance transmission, while nuclear power ships do not have such a large loss, which is all profit.

In the future, space solar power stations will directly absorb the energy of the sun, which is inexhaustible. Although the energy lost during wireless microwave transmission is also very large, the energy base received by solar power stations is too large.

It is so huge that there is no need to worry about waste. The energy loss that worries you is as funny as worrying about the energy wasted by the sun every day. Anyway, it absorbs energy from the sun, and the sun releases energy all the time, and it also releases 50 It's billions of years.

When will human civilization be able to fly out of the solar system? There is no need to worry about this now.

"The current confirmed procurement of nuclear power ships includes 12 for the military, 55 for State Grid's domestic operations, and 55 for overseas operations. That's a total purchase of 122." Fang Hong looked at the materials in his hands and looked at himself. He said, secretly thinking about something.

With the purchase of these 122 ships alone, Nuclear Power Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd. can lock in a revenue scale of 1.03 trillion yuan in advance and a net profit of 117 billion yuan.

Fang Hong thought for a while and couldn't help but add: "On average, only 4 can be launched a year. This efficiency is too slow, and production capacity must be greatly increased."

In fact, being able to launch four nuclear power ships in one year is already quite an exaggerated efficiency, which is equivalent to launching one in three months. Foreign shipbuilding companies simply cannot achieve this speed, but Fang Hong is obviously still not satisfied.

If we follow the efficiency of launching one ship in 3 months, then when the 122nd ship is launched, we will have to wait in line for 30 years. In 30 years, the space photovoltaic power station will be put into operation. Isn’t it that the 122nd nuclear power ship has just been launched? Will you withdraw from the stage of history when you enter the water?

At the end, Fang Hong immediately made a decision: "Give me an additional five times to increase the production capacity, which means launching 20 nuclear power ships a year."

Tian Jiayi was stunned for a moment and then said: "The speed of 20 ships a year cannot be achieved even if the nuclear power ship company's production capacity is exceeded, and the cost of the production line cannot be recovered."

Fang Hong said calmly: "Of course I know this, and I didn't say that the nuclear power ship company would be responsible for the construction of 122 nuclear power ships. Seven of the world's top 10 shipyards are in China. The nuclear power ship company will increase its production capacity. The efficiency of launching 5 ships a year will be enough, and the remaining 15 ships will be left to other domestic super shipyards. "
