crazy! This tram has a range of 100,000 kilometers!

Chapter 168: Day by Day! Space Rhapsody!

[2078 Day-by-Day Type 1 solar panel technology: The solar panel adopts puffed nickel silicate technology, specially designed for Dyson balls, which can withstand 6000 degrees ultra-high temperature; Flexible and extremely difficult to break, extremely light density, weighing only 15.8 grams per square meter, light energy conversion rate greater than 99%. 】

Jiang Fan smiled with satisfaction.

After many field explorations, the abundant minerals on Mercury are iron, nickel and silicate.

Therefore, the raw materials for the Day-by-Day Type 1 solar panel can be mined on Mercury without the trouble of transporting it from Earth. Jiang Fan began to calculate how many day-by-day Type 1 solar panels were needed.

The daily type 1 solar panel has a strong high temperature tolerance, reaching 6000 degrees, and the temperature of the sun’s surface is about 5500 degrees, that is to say, Jiang Fan can even lay solar panels to the surface of the sun.

Of course, this is not feasible.

The simplest reason is that because human beings simply do not have enough technical strength to develop spacecraft resistant to 6,000 degrees of high temperature, there is no way to place solar panels in the right place.

Only the Day-by-Day 1 solar panel can be placed at a suitable distance, the closest position that an existing spacecraft can fly. After calculation, Jiang Fan designed the recent power plant at a distance of about 0.6 water days, that is, an ultra-close position of 30 million kilometers from the sun!

The closer the distance, the stronger the light and the higher the power generation efficiency.

At this distance, 10,000 square kilometers of daily Type 1 solar panels generate 10,000 terawatts of power generation! Terawatts are a huge unit, one terawatt is equivalent to 1 trillion watts.

What order of magnitude is 10,000 terawatts equivalent to?

Before the Tiangong power plant, the total global electricity production was about 30,000 terawatt hours.

The power of 10,000 terawatts is equivalent to the solar power station only needs to work for 3 hours in recent days to produce the world’s annual consumption.

3 hours!

When Jiang Fan saw this number, he felt a wave of dizziness.

If this recent solar plant is 7X24 production, it can produce 2920 times the total electricity production of the world in a year!

Not strictly speaking, a year of work for a solar power station recently is enough for the world to use for 3,000 years! In recent years, with the commissioning of the Tiangong power plant, global electricity consumption has soared by 30%. Even so, it is enough for about 2200 years!

What does this mean? The electricity is almost limitless!

Jiang Fan slowly calmed down, sat down and began to think about the difficulty of realization. To be sure, the goal of 10,000 terawatts is very difficult to achieve.

Not only is it a huge test for the national strength of the Dragon Country, but economic interests will also produce great resistance.

Such a large area of day-by-day type 1 solar panels must be slowly launched into the air, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

This leads to a problem, with the recent increase in space power stations, electricity prices will inevitably plummet, but too low electricity prices will be counterproductive to continue to expand solar capacity.

Because the cost of manufacturing space radio and television stations in recent days may gradually be higher than the benefits brought by the reduction of the price.

There must be a threshold here, after exceeding the threshold, the manufacture of the near-day space power station will cause economic losses, and the resistance will increase this threshold, which Jiang Fan estimates is about 0.1 centimeters per kilowatt hour.

Unless there is an extremely energy-intensive application, the price of electricity will not be reduced or increased. Of course, the impact of unlimited electrical energy is still incalculable.

Recently, the power plant is much more efficient than the Tiangong power plant.

First of all, the existing energy industry on Earth will be completely in ruins, oil, gas, wind, tidal, geothermal, nuclear all gone.

The future status of oil has completely become a purely chemical raw material. With it, the mildew dollar completely collapsed.

The Middle East will once again become a worthless desert, and the likes of Dubai, now rich and extravagant, are bound to become a short-lived bubble in history.

Secondly, the food problem is ultimately an energy problem.

With abundant electricity capable of simulating the sun’s exposure 24 hours a day, producing cheap food, hunger will forever become a historical term. In addition, the near-unlimited electricity will inevitably lead to another sharp drop in electricity prices, even free, which will again.

What happens when electricity is drastically reduced in price or even free of charge?

First of all, it will inevitably lead to an increase in electricity consumption, which in turn will push humans to turn all tools into electric energy drives. Electric vehicles, electric high-speed rail, electric aircraft, electric ships, electrochemical industry, electrometallurgy…

However, near-infinite electrical energy is by no means infinite, and Jiang Fan has a clear understanding of this.

Stimulated by such abundant energy, human beings will inevitably come up with some more wasted electricity technology to consume this electricity, just like the computer industry.

Every time a chip maker makes a faster CPU, a memory manufacturer makes bigger memory. Software developers can then develop software that consumes more CPU and memory.

The most typical is the graphics card.

3A masterpieces manufacturers are endlessly demanding faster GPUs with more video memory, desperately squeezing the performance of graphics cards, from 2D to 3D to VR/AR and finally becoming a real rendering in the second world, graphics card manufacturers are tired and crazy to improve performance.

The winner is NVIDIA, which almost monopolizes the graphics card industry and earns a lot of money.

The loser becomes history, at most an ATI who survives and sells himself to survive.

Similarly, when electricity is extremely abundant, new tools that consume more electricity will be produced, and manufacturers that cannot produce new tools will be quickly eliminated.

For example, near-unlimited electrical energy can keep city roads lit forever, eliminating the dangers of driving at night.

Another example is the manufacture of city-level central air conditioning to control the temperature of the entire city to ensure that winter is warm as spring, and summer is cool and comfortable.

New tools that use more electricity will in turn force the energy industry to demand more electricity from the state.

Countries that cannot meet the massive energy supply will either sign an electric energy import treaty with the dragon country, attach a bunch of unequal conditions, and obtain enough electricity.

Either it is hard to support and try to develop its own recent optoelectronic technology, and then in the long process of research and development, it is crushed by the dragon country with absolute superiority, and finally eliminated by history.

All of the above are benefits. There are also no fewer negative effects.

Any electrical appliance, no matter what it is, will eventually convert electrical energy into heat, which will cause the temperature of the atmosphere to rise. It is equivalent to the electricity produced by solar power stations in recent days, which is equivalent to pouring the sunlight that could not have been on the earth in another way to the surface of the earth.

Earth’s ecosystems are actually quite fragile, and wind and grass can lead to a mass extinction.

When massive amounts of external heat are introduced, the temperature in the atmosphere will rise rapidly, evolving into an unprecedented disaster. Thermal control. Jiang Fan wrote down a word: “A large number of energy-intensive factories must be moved into space.” ”

In addition to this, there is a more serious problem.

Insufficient resources.
