Galaxy Technology Empire
Chapter 299 Wishful thinking
Raf looked at the silence below and suddenly said with some dissatisfaction:
"Let's talk about it, Akira, you go first."
The named head of the technical department said helplessly:
"Originally, our reservoirs in the eastern part of the Great Dividing Range can satisfy some areas, but this year's climate is too abnormal. South America and Central Africa are flooded, while Asia and here are experiencing droughts..."
"Stop, I don't want to hear why there are droughts or floods. I just want to know how to solve this problem." Rafe interrupted the other party's tirade.
Akira suddenly smiled awkwardly: "I suggest artificial rainfall."
"Artificial rainfall?" Rafe looked at Carlos, the head of the meteorological department.
Carlos shook his head and explained: "There are not many clouds now. Even if it is artificial rainfall, there will not be much rain."
"I heard that the seawater desalination technology of the Dongtang people is very powerful. If we can introduce this technology, it might be able to solve the drought situation in the central and western regions." A senior executive suddenly suggested.
"If this technology can be introduced, it can indeed solve the domestic drought situation." Akira nodded and agreed.
"I heard that Dongtang's seawater desalination volume this year reached 450 billion cubic meters, and they are transforming the desert with fresh water."
"450 billion cubic meters? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"This is indeed the case. If you don't believe it, you can search the Internet."
Many high-level executives searched their laptops and suddenly realized that they were looking at the sky from a well.
Looking at the figure of 450 billion cubic meters, everyone felt the power of Dongtang's seawater desalination technology.
We must know that the total water resource in Tuao is only 343 billion cubic meters, and the currently developed surface water and groundwater resources are 17.5 billion cubic meters.
Tu'ao's water resources have three characteristics.
The first is that the total amount is small and the per capita possession is large.
According to statistics from the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development on 153 countries and regions in the world, Tu'ao ranks among the top 50 with a per capita water resource of 18,743 cubic meters. It is a country with relatively abundant water resources.
However, based on a land area of 7.6 million square kilometers, its total water resources are not large.
The second is uneven regional distribution.
Two-thirds of Tu'ao's land area belongs to the arid or semi-arid zone, and precipitation is mainly concentrated in the narrow strip connecting the eastern mountains, plateaus and valleys.
The average annual precipitation in the central and western desert areas, which account for one-tenth of the country's land area, is less than 250 millimeters.
Most of the six rivers in the territory are seasonal rivers and are also distributed in areas where precipitation is concentrated.
The Great Artesian Basin in the middle is rich in groundwater and has the largest groundwater source in the world.
Although the regional distribution of water resources in Australia is uneven, it matches the layout of the national economy, so the contradiction between water supply and demand is not tense.
The third is the uneven distribution of precipitation within and between years.
Precipitation in Tu'ao is mainly concentrated between winter and spring, with precipitation between May and December accounting for two-thirds of the annual total. This period is a flood-prone period and a water storage period.
Precipitation also varies greatly between years, with records of consecutive wet years and dry years, and dry years are particularly strong.
This uneven spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation determines that they must build water conservancy projects to ensure the demand for water resources for economic and social development.
So far, Tu'ao has built nearly 400 reservoirs, with a total storage capacity of more than 80 billion cubic meters, and has strong water storage capacity.
In short, the relatively abundant water resources and small population make Tu'ao's water problem not outstanding.
However, with the increase in population and economic and social development, the potential impact of over-exploitation and utilization of water resources in local areas has gradually emerged.
New water distribution problems, water quality problems in major rivers, secondary salinization problems in irrigated areas and unreasonable exploitation of groundwater have attracted increasing attention.
This year's drought has caused water levels in their reservoirs to drop below warning levels.
If seawater desalination technology can be introduced, it will be of great help to the development of their animal husbandry and planting industries.
After listening to this suggestion, Raff was also thinking about introducing seawater desalination technology.
"Mr. Love, I think it is necessary to introduce seawater desalination technology. Extreme weather has often occurred around the world in recent years. Drought climates may appear more frequently in the future. It is better to plan early." Carlos, the head of the meteorological department, suggested.
"I know, but this seawater desalination technology is a bit troublesome." Of course Rafe knew that Dongtang's seawater desalination technology was very powerful.
But the problem is that this thing needs to replace the seawater desalination membrane every four months, although the cost of this membrane is not high overall.
However, Dongyin Water Group does not allow any overseas desalination plants to hold excess seawater desalination membranes. These desalination membranes are used and will soon be scrapped, and they are not allowed to be transported from Dongtang to be replaced.
Even those desalination membranes that have been scrapped must be transported back to China by Dongyin Water Group itself for destruction.
In addition, the seawater desalination plant is also produced and managed by Dongyin Water Group. The location does not have the right to manage this plant. At the same time, this plant must be tax-free.
These are proper overlord terms. Raf can accept the other conditions, but the condition that the desalination film cannot be stored is unacceptable to him, and neither is the Tu-Ao Parliament.
Once you accept this condition, the consequences will be to act according to Dong Tang's expression.
As one of the henchmen of the Mi Li family, Tu'ao is notoriously hostile to rabbits. Of course, this may have something to do with the overpopulation of rabbits in their country. You know how to hate rabbits.
"Unless they agree to allow us to reserve desalination membranes for about five years, the parliament will not agree to this matter." Raff said helplessly.
"Uh..." Carlos was speechless for a moment.
Please, we are begging others now, not Dongyin Water, so we have no right to bargain.
"Mr. Raf, regardless of whether the parliament agrees or not, we must submit the report, otherwise it will be our dereliction of duty." Akira reminded.
Rafe nodded:
"Akira, you are responsible for writing the report, and then we will jointly submit the report. Let the council men deal with this matter!"
Soon the water conservancy department and the meteorological department jointly came up with a proposal to purchase a desalination plant.
The result was not as expected by Rafe and others. The parliamentary lords suddenly became quarrelsome about this matter, with those who opposed, those who agreed, and those who were neutral all expressing their opinions.
The opposition was so strong that the proposal was temporarily shelved.
And Rafe's water conservancy department also has an excuse to face complaints and complaints from the people. Anyway, I have proposed a solution, but the gentlemen in the parliament do not agree. You go to them!
As for Raff's shirking of responsibility, the Parliament has no words to express its sorrow.
Everyone knows that the desalination plant of Dongyin Water is a double-edged sword. After using it, it can cut through obstacles and scratch itself.
It is equivalent to the Sunflower Book. If you want to practice magical skills, you must first enter the palace. Every country with ambitions will not practice this "Sunflower Book".
As for some people who are just waiting to die, they don't care about practicing the Sunflower Manual.
For example, the Southern African Country in Black Continent has already signed a contract with Dongyin Water and handed over all domestic tap water supply to Dongyin Water.
In order to give an explanation to the people, the Tu'ao Council could only pretend to let Raf lead a team to Dongtang to negotiate with Dongyin Water for the introduction of a seawater desalination plant.
As for whether it will succeed or not, it is not up to them. Maybe after a while, the country will no longer be drought-stricken. The task they gave Rafe is to delay it as long as possible.
