The hostages were rescued, and the Reagan administration quickly dramatized the incident and began publicizing it.

Because of this incident, the authority of the Reagan administration has once again risen to a new level. They did not compromise with Iran and even rescued all the hostages from Iran!

From the capital of another country, they rescued all their hostages! Isn't such a thing worth publicizing?

The Angel News Channel, belonging to the Ark Group, also began to carry out large-scale publicity against the Mithril Organization at this time. It was precisely because of the role of the Mithril Organization that they got the last chance to escape...

…

Regarding this matter, Catherine negotiated with the U.S. federal government regarding her contribution.

Of course, Catherine did not unscrupulously tell these people that she had betrayed Wang Shaotang, but Catherine told these people that she had spent hundreds of millions of dollars letting these rescue team members leave. At this time, she asked

It is also necessary for the federal government to repay its debt.

——Although Catherine likes to see the Pentagon being taken advantage of, Catherine herself does not want to be the taken advantage of.

And even if the money was recovered, Catherine still suffered a bit of a loss because she had to pay one-third more for the supply of tempered carbon nanotube fibers.

The US government could not tell others that it was they who reached an agreement with Iran that caused the following things to happen, so they could only obediently agree to Catherine and prepare to compensate her.

At this time, Catherine finally gained a lot of psychological balance...

…

At this time, in another country in the Middle East, another organization belonging to the Ark Group, Tianren, was also taking action.

However, their actions were against another country.

United Arab Emirates.

To be more precise, it's Abu Dhabi.

“With the exception of hydropower and geothermal power generation, other renewable energy sources have not been able to compete with traditional energy sources without relying on government subsidies. The reasons are manifold. One of them is the lower capacity factor (i.e. the maximum power generation of a power station

(ratio of capacity and installed capacity). Generally, the capacity factor of nuclear power plants is more than 90%, and the capacity factor of thermal power plants is between 65% and 70%; however, even in sunny Gali

Fonia. The capacity factor of solar power stations does not reach 30%; wind turbines installed on dry land have a capacity factor of 25% to 30%, while those installed offshore can reach 40%. If you want to use solar energy

Or wind power generation, we need to lay a complete set of power lines in areas with abundant corresponding resources; at the same time, due to the instability of solar and wind power, we have to deal with the ever-changing load of the power grid."

At this time, Lawrence was explaining to the old king the differences between their solar tree plan and the ordinary photovoltaic industry.

"But the solar tree is different. This new device first converts solar energy into chemical energy - producing hydrogen. Then, we can use fuel cell technology to turn it into electrical energy by consuming hydrogen energy and combining it with oxygen. In this way

Under such circumstances, our capacity factor will increase to 70%, which is equivalent to the capacity factor of thermal power stations. And with further development, the capacity factor can continue to increase..."

The solar tree is undoubtedly a very interesting energy source, and the most important thing is that it can be connected to the power grid.

Solar trees that rely on fuel cells to generate electricity are very efficient and very stable, and their stability is better than that of thermal power.

There is no doubt that new energy has high stability.

More importantly, compared with other photovoltaic power generation, the advantages of this new solar tree energy source are really strong.

Zeid II bin Sultan, he is the King of Abu Dhabi.

Although the United Arab Emirates is the "United Arab Emirates", Abu Dhabi and Dubai are different. They are a union, but they are also independent emirates.

However, the King of Abu Dhabi and President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan is not that simple.

The old king once said, "The real wealth of a country is not its material wealth. It is its people. They are the real strength that we are proud of, and they are also the big trees that protect us from the wind and rain. We

Believe in this fact and make all your efforts to educate the people under its guidance."

Over the years, a wide variety of subsidies and opportunistic business operations have promoted the development of new energy. Because of this, it is difficult to judge whether the price of new energy has dropped to a reasonable range. Both the European Wind Energy Association and the American Wind Energy Association claim that wind power

The price of electricity is already lower than that of thermal power; and supporters of solar energy predict that the price of solar electricity will be very low in the future based on the rapid decrease in the cost of photovoltaic cells.

However, this is just an illusion due to the recent surge in oil prices.

To build a solar power station, not only photovoltaic cells are needed, but also brackets, inverters, batteries, and manpower. The cost of these related materials has not been significantly reduced, which has also led to the disadvantages of photovoltaic power generation when oil prices have become increasingly stable.

The same goes for wind power.

People have a false optimism about the development speed of wind power - this is because the existing growth rate is calculated from a very small base. From 1969 to 1979, the total installed capacity of wind power in the world doubled.

6 times, but this doesn’t explain much. This high growth rate is a typical state in the early development of the system, especially for systems like wind power that mainly rely on subsidies to stimulate development.

"Although the construction cost of our solar tree is high, in terms of daily use, the cost of our solar tree plan is almost non-existent - we only need workers responsible for maintenance and some spare parts."

"Theoretically, the solar tree power generation plan is the most flexible power generation plan. If it is stable, this power generation effect will be very good."

The old king nodded.

“When can costs come down again?”

The other party asked again.

The old king is not worried about the cost, and according to the other party, after paying the cost once, their products can be used once and for all. Isn't that good?

"If we have better materials, the cost can continue to drop. In fact, our main cost is focused on materials. If we solve the material and process problems, our products can become cheaper. And

We will only license related technology patents to your country, as well as China and other countries with whom we conduct cooperative research. We have not yet considered licensing them for production."

Lawrence answered easily.

"For this plan, you have even given up the wind power plan and the photovoltaic power generation plan. Will this make our energy source too single?"

The old king asked again.

"The siting of large wind farms is often controversial. Many people either don't like the appearance of the wind turbines, hate their noise, or are worried about their adverse impact on migrating birds and bats. Some wind power projects are located offshore.

This problem has also arisen. For example, in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, the first offshore wind farm in the United States was originally planned to be built. However, due to opposition from local residents, the project has been shelved for several years... So far

, this plan still has not been realized.”

"Wind power is also full of disadvantages, just like photovoltaic power generation, both are desirable."

A big reason why China is unwilling to use wind power is because it makes too much noise...

Moreover, the discontinuity of wind energy also makes it difficult to predict its power generation within a few days, and the lack of experience in operating large-scale wind turbines has brought greater uncertainty to the project.

In addition, the additional cost of using electricity from wind farms is huge.

For example, the Chinese, who are studying new energy with Catherine, not only have to install wind power, but also have to lay a large number of high-voltage transmission lines and connect them to the power grid. This is a very expensive task.

Imagine that if large-scale wind farms are distributed in large plains with abundant wind energy and vast land, then the country will need to lay thousands of kilometers of transmission lines to send electricity to cities...

Of course, this is not a big problem for a country that is small and has close ties with its neighbors; this is one of the reasons why Denmark leads the field of wind power - they have a natural advantage in this regard.

But for China, to develop wind energy, it not only needs to lay new transmission lines, but also connect them...

You know, in this era, China's power supply system itself is extremely cheating, with frequent power outages, and then adding wind power that can make the power grid more complicated... isn't this going to cost you your life?

This is one of the reasons why Tianzun was interested when he saw the Sun Tree - this product is much better than wind power.

But for China now, it is impossible for them to use such expensive energy.

The accelerated development of new energy cannot be separated from the leadership of the government. The power of individuals or enterprises is usually far from enough to promote the energy industry. However, when building key infrastructure, even those governments with strong economic strength are increasingly

The increased debt seems a bit overwhelming. They also need to solve a series of other problems at the same time - the world does not revolve around one company.

At this time, in addition to the extremely wealthy government of the United Arab Emirates, there is also the Chinese government, which has little money, and the U.S. government, which is rich but has no energy. These three governments are the choices of Lawrence and the Tianren Organization. As for the others

Country or something... they didn't consider it at all.

But obviously, the old king of Abu Dhabi is obviously very interested...
