Late September.

The Paper Group plans to invest in the construction of two new automobile factories. One is located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. This automobile factory is mainly responsible for the research and development and production of electric engineering vehicles.

Another automobile factory is in Chao City, Lingnan Province. This factory produces passenger cars and is equivalent to a branch factory of the Shanmei Haicheng factory.

The Zhengzhou factory is to expand new business, while the Chaoshi factory is to increase the production volume of passenger cars.

Nowadays, supply of various types of electric vehicles from Thermal Power exceeds demand, especially the low-end model of Thermal Elegance. The factory has yet to deliver orders for more than 70,000 vehicles.

Other models also have a large number of pre-orders. Even the electric bus model Pengpai Lotus has nearly a thousand undelivered orders.

As the blueprint for eliminating fuel vehicles becomes faster and faster, various car companies are now entering the electric vehicle industry.

Of course, it is not easy to enter the electric vehicle industry now.

First of all, the Electric Vehicle Industry Association is a barrier. Non-members of the association cannot get discounted batteries and motors. Recently, carbon fiber composite bodies, automotive chips and automotive control systems have been added.

If you are not a member of the association, the price of purchasing these spare parts may be 30 to 40% higher. As the core technology of an electric car, your battery and motor are 30 to 40% higher than others.

Coupled with the sharing of patents among association members, it is really difficult for non-members of the association to survive in Dongtang.

Even Tesla is feeling the pinch.

In addition, joint ventures are not eligible to join the electric vehicle industry association.

Therefore, although there are currently many car companies holding production licenses for new energy vehicles, there are not many car companies that have membership of the association, such as Pengpai Dynamics, BYD, Geely, Changan, JAC, Lifan, King Long, and BAIC New Energy .

Therefore, membership of the Electric Vehicle Industry Association is jokingly called another birth certificate by many people.

Don't think that everything will be fine after joining the association. After joining the association, every car produced in the future must pass the review of the industry association, which is generally called internal audit.

If the internal review fails, then your car does not need to go to the Ministry of Industry for approval. Even if the Ministry of Industry approves the listing, the association will not recognize it.

If a car company forces a listing, the consequence will be expulsion from membership, and expulsion from membership is obviously not something these car companies can afford.

Therefore, thanks to the self-discipline of the industry association, the quality of electric vehicles produced by association members is getting better and better.

After all, if you produce inferior products and are found out by the association, the consequences will be very serious, ranging from fines and increased parts prices to being kicked out of the company.

Therefore, the Electric Vehicle Industry Association, known by many as the private version of the Ministry of Industry, will have difficulty in the Dongtang electric vehicle industry without passing the review of these two brothers.

…

At the same time, Dongyin Water Company, following the opening of the Qinhuangdao City branch line and the Huludao City branch line, opened the Chaoyang City branch line in Liaodong Province, the Tangshan City branch line in Hebei Province, the Chengde City branch line in Hebei Province, and the Chifeng City branch line in Mongolia District.

Next are the Beiping City Branch Line, Jinshi Branch Line, and Hunshandake Sandy Branch Line.

There is also a Horqin Sandy Branch Line.

Now Hunshandake Sand Land near Sangendalai has been occupied by rows of huge glass greenhouses.

Currently, 85% of the construction of greenhouses covering an area of ​​20 million acres has been completed.

In addition, the water pipeline is about to be connected. In order to speed up the construction, the engineering team adopted segmented construction. The water pipeline in the Hunshandake Sandy Land and the water pipeline in Chifeng City are now only more than 20 kilometers apart.

Wind turbines are rising one after another, and graphene solar films are also being promoted recently.

The graphene solar film, combined with the roof of the glass greenhouse, makes the greenhouse self-sufficient in electricity.

General silicon wafer solar panels can generate about 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity a day, while graphene solar films can generate about 4 kilowatt-hours a day.

Graphene solar film can generate electricity not only during the day, but also on cloudy days or at night. The efficiency is about 10% of that when there is sunlight.

If graphene solar films were installed on the roofs of 20 million acres of greenhouses, 19 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity could be generated a year.

This power generation is almost three times the domestic annual power generation, which shows how great the potential of solar power generation is.

However, considering that the current demand is not that much, the laying area of ​​graphene solar film is currently only planned to be about 100,000 acres, with an estimated annual power generation of 95 billion kilowatt hours.

As for whether the laying of graphene solar film will affect the lighting of the greenhouse, you can rest assured, because the graphene solar film is almost transparent, with a light transmittance of 90%, and will not affect indoor lighting.

The cost of graphene solar film, plus the sharing of research and development costs, is about 50 Chinese yuan per square meter, while the ex-factory price is 200 Chinese yuan per square meter.

Fengdu Group only owns 30% of the property rights in the Hunshandake greenhouse area, and the remaining 70% belongs to COFCO.

Even at 200 Chinese yuan per square meter, COFCO representatives agreed to lay it.

Of course, the total investment is quite high, including other supporting facilities, totaling about 30 billion yuan.

However, this investment can be repaid within one year. After all, 95 billion kilowatt hours is equivalent to more than 60 billion yuan based on current electricity prices.

Domestic investors have become increasingly interested in wind power and photovoltaics in the past two years. Especially with the increasing number of power storage stations, wind power and photovoltaics, which were previously considered waste power, are now very easy to connect to the grid.

Of course, wind power is the mainstream. After all, the service life of silicon wafer photovoltaics is a problem.

However, with these graphene solar power generation films, many domestic investors are already ready to make a move.

As for foreign investors, it’s not that they don’t want to buy wind power stations or solar power thin films.

However, power storage batteries and solar power generation films are restricted export products. If you want to buy them, you must get approval, otherwise you can go back and forth from wherever you go.

However, the Hans family has purchased a lot of wind turbines, mainly because they have special power storage technology, which is hollow concrete ball energy storage technology.

The working principle of hollow concrete ball energy storage technology is simple: create huge hollow concrete balls and then sink them into the deep sea, with an almost vacuum at the center of the ball.

When an electric current is needed, the water at high pressure flows deeper into the sea into the sphere, where it drives a turbine that generates electricity.

If there is excess power, the turbine can be used as a pump to drain the water out of the ball.

When storing energy, electric current drives a turbine to pump water from the seabed to the land. The electrical energy is converted into potential energy and the ball becomes a vacuum. When electric current is needed, the process is reversed.

One of the questions in the project was engineering: How thick do the walls of a concrete ball need to be to resist high pressure? The experts from the Hans family calculated that it was three meters.

In other words, this technology is actually a variant of energy storage reservoir technology. The technology is not difficult at all. The only problem is engineering and money.

In fact, if there is no high-energy storage battery, this technology is quite suitable for my rabbit's style. It can not only store energy, but also drive the demand for steel and cement.

But now it's just the other way around. The Hans family, who are into technology, are playing with hollow concrete ball energy storage, and the infrastructure guy, Wotu, is working on storage batteries.

It’s really thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi.
