Rebirth of a technological power

According to current production technology, the production cost of seawater desalination membrane is 1,500 yuan per square meter.

This price is considered very cheap.

A 2 million tons/day seawater desalination plant with an annual water production capacity of 730 million cubic meters needs to purchase 33 million yuan of seawater desalination membranes every year.

Of course, businessmen cannot sell to seawater desalination plants at the cost price. The ex-factory price of seawater desalination membranes is 5 times the cost price, which is 7,500 yuan per square meter!

In other words, the annual cost of purchasing seawater desalination membranes for a 2 million tons/day seawater desalination plant is 165 million yuan.

According to the current water charges in various industries, residential water use: the first level of monthly water consumption is 3.2 yuan/ton for less than 18 tons, the second level of monthly water consumption is 4.3 yuan/ton for more than 18 tons to 40 tons, and the monthly water consumption is more than 40 tons. 7.6 yuan/ton. Water for non-resident domestic use, that is, water for administrative institutions, military and social groups, schools, medical units, social welfare and security, public facilities services and social services is 3.2 yuan/ton.

Water for special industries, that is, the water fee for saunas, car washes, foot baths and purified water is 8.8 yuan/ton. Other industries use water at 4.1 yuan/ton!

If there is no shortage of water resources after the desalination plant is built, and the water price is calculated at a uniform price of 3.2 yuan/ton, the annual revenue will be 2.336 billion yuan!

Calculated in this way, a desalination plant can not only solve the water resource dilemma, but also recover the cost in almost 10 years.

There is no doubt that this is quite a huge profit.

If you have a darker heart and maintain the current water price, you may be able to recover the cost in seven or eight years, and the rest will be earned.

David and his party came to the city.

City meeting room.

Zhang Xuefeng is introducing the seawater desalination plant.

Zhang Xuefeng was originally a professor in a university. He was hired into a research institute two years ago and brought his family to the Future Technology Group General Research Institute.

Professor-level senior engineers enjoy the talent introduction policy.

He is also the director of the Seawater Desalination Research Institute. He is in charge of person No. 30, and his research field is seawater desalination.

This time he led the team to design the seawater desalination plant project.

"According to our preliminary research, the desalination plant is suitable to be built in." After introducing the technical aspects, Zhang Xuefeng introduced the preliminary site selection of the desalination plant.

The sites are all chosen on small islands.

The seawater quality here will be better and the interference will be less.

The only drawback is the inconvenience of transportation.

During construction, it had to be transported by sea. After completion and during operation, employees also had to come in and out by ship.

But everything has pros and cons. In addition to better seawater quality, operation and management will be more convenient.

As for the seawater desalination plant to the land, it is naturally solved through an undersea tunnel, which is only three kilometers. For the Chinese who are crazy about infrastructure, it is really nothing.

Of course, there are some petrochemical plants and docks in this area, so they must be banned.

The two leaders whispered to each other and discussed in a low voice.

They don’t need to understand too much, they just need to remember the address and investment.

This is their focus.

As for technology, Renren Research Institute is the real expert, and all of them are imported talents.

"Boss Cai, can this water plant be expanded in scale and combined with short-term and long-term construction, so that it can not only supply water to our city, but also to Ludao and Kinmen?" Zhang Dong asked.

Cai Jin looked surprised. He didn't expect the two of them to think of supplying water to Ludao and Kinmen.

Water resources are also a business.

Water resources in Narcissus are in trouble, as are other places.

Cai Jin looked at Zhang Xuefeng, who nodded and said: "Theoretically, there is no problem. If this island is completely relocated, the daily water supply of the desalination plant can theoretically reach 5 million tons!"

The water supply of 5 million tons/day has simply solved the dilemma of water shortage in three regions.

You know, water shortage is not just a lack of drinking water, but also a lack of industrial and agricultural water!

Why do we charge water fees at different levels and constantly promote water conservation? Isn’t it because of the lack of water?

"In this way, we will jointly discuss with Ludao and Kinmen. If they agree, we will build seawater desalination plants there to supply our three places." Zhang Dong said: "Of course, if they are not willing, then our Narcissus City Just build it separately.”

Cai Jin nodded. There was no doubt that Zhang Dong and the others were thinking differently from him. He was thinking about his hometown, while others were thinking about the region.

But this is normal. After all, the entire southern Fujian is actually closely connected, whether economically or culturally.

The transfer of cadres between each other is considered a normal thing.

"Such a big project will most likely have to be approved by the ministry, and I will have to ask Boss Cai to help." Zhang Dong said with a smile.

However, Cai Jin is a great god.

Not only because Future Technology Group is big and strong enough, but also because Cai Jinjian is in the heart of the emperor.

They have to work hard to please the leaders who come to inspect and study every year.

This kind of great god has influence in all aspects, far beyond what they can compare with.

If the place operates, it is normal to wait in line for several years, and it is very likely that you will not be able to pass.

But it will be different with Ludao and Kinmen joining, and with Cai Jin helping to speak, the approval can be completed quickly.

"Definitely, after all, this is my hometown, and I also hope that my hometown will develop well!" Cai Jin said with a smile.

Driven by the Future Technology Group, Narcissus City is now among the best in major cities across the country. With sufficient tax revenue, local investment is also large, and the entire city is developing rapidly.

And because we have the advantage of being a latecomer and absorbing the successful experiences and failures of other urban constructions, urban planning and construction can be said to be based on the highest standards and the most advanced experience.

The huge local investment is reflected in a large construction site, with continuous construction of roads and other infrastructure, as well as the development and construction of residential areas and commercial areas.

After the meeting, everyone had a simple meal of eight dishes and one soup in a private room in the cafeteria.

As we chatted, we started talking about nuclear power plants.

A few years ago, the first phase of the nuclear power plant was completed, which could have guaranteed electricity needs for ten years. However, no one expected that more than two years ago, there would be insufficient electricity.

Not only is it impossible to supply power to the outside world, but there is not even enough internal power supply, and power must be purchased from other places.

Under such circumstances, the second phase of the nuclear power plant project has to be put on the agenda. However, the second phase of the nuclear power plant is under construction, and Narcissus City is considering whether it can build a third phase, just in case.

Only in the past two years, the approval process for nuclear power plants has become much stricter.

The two of them turned their attention to Cai Jin.

Electricity shortage does not only exist here in southern Fujian, but also occurs in many places.

Behind the surge in production and sales of new energy vehicles is the increase in electricity consumption.

This naturally includes the increase in electricity consumption brought about by the increase in the number of bionic robots.

As for the entire Narcissus Nuclear Power Plant, the project plans to build 6 AP1000 nuclear power units with a total installed capacity of 7.5 million kilowatts. Currently, the first phase of the project is constructing 4 units with an installed capacity of 5 million kilowatts. The second phase of the project involves the construction of 2 units.

The third phase of the project that Narcissus City is applying for plans to build four more units with an installed capacity of 5 million kilowatts.

As a result, the entire nuclear power plant has 10 nuclear power units, with a total installed capacity of 1,250 kilowatts, and the annual power generation can reach 100 billion kilowatt hours!

In this way, the needs of the entire city can be met with nuclear power alone.

Although it is said that after the second phase of the project is completed, there will be no power shortage in a short time.

But as the saying goes, if you don’t have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries!

The electricity here not only supplies the entire city, Narcissus City is also responsible for supplying power to Ludao.

Otherwise, power supply would not have caused various leaders to be so distressed in the past few years.

Cai Jin thought for a moment and said, to be honest, it would be inappropriate to build this kind of nuclear power plant at this time.

Because he plans to engage in nuclear fusion!

Cai Jin has been hesitating about nuclear fusion. Once it is developed, the impact will be too great.

The Arab League, which is in a good situation now, will be greatly affected.

Those resource-based countries that mainly export oil have to kneel on the ground and howl.

Furthermore, it would be a fatal blow to the currently booming photovoltaic industry.

In the photovoltaic industry, China is now the leader in this aspect, and it is definitely far ahead in terms of market share.

No matter Europe or North America, China's photovoltaic industry cannot be avoided.

In recent years, in order to increase power supply, many rural residents have installed photovoltaics. In the northwest desert, photovoltaic power generation is also increasing.

Once nuclear fusion comes out and there is no shortage of electricity, whoever engages in photovoltaics will be sure that the entire photovoltaic industry will be destroyed directly.

And not only the photovoltaic industry, but also thermal power plants, hydropower plants, etc. will be shut down directly.

It is precisely because of this concern that David has not made any move on nuclear fusion.

After thinking for a while, David advised the two leaders not to be too obsessed with the nuclear power plant.

Once the entire nuclear power plant is completed, coupled with the medium-sized reservoir under construction and the development of the photovoltaic industry, power will be guaranteed for at least ten years.

The current power shortage is only temporary.

On this day, Cai Jin came to a section of the Lancang River, where a reservoir was being built.

The Lancang River originates from the Sanjiangyuan on the roof of the world. It is the seventh longest river in the world, the third longest river in Asia and the longest river in Southeast Asia. The part that stretches for 2139 kilometers in China is called the 'Lancang River', and after entering the Indochina Peninsula it is called the 'Mekong River'. ', and finally poured into the South China Sea from South Vietnam.

In the past 30 years, China has built many hydropower development hubs, including the Manwan Hydropower Station, in the middle and lower reaches of the Lancang River, and has planned 25 cascade hydropower development hubs with an estimated annual power generation of more than 130 billion kilowatt hours.

In these hub projects, power generation is one aspect, and another very important aspect is water diversion.

The reservoir Cai Jin came to was officially finalized two years ago. Construction started last year. The total investment in the entire project is as high as 150 billion.

Carrying out construction in mountain canyons above 2,000 meters above sea level, and building a barrage dam with a dam height of more than 400 meters, are great considerations for any construction and design unit. In the whole world, only China, the infrastructure madman, dares to be so crazy.

Once the reservoir is completed, it will not only provide more than 50 billion kilowatt-hours of electric energy to China's power grid every year, but also provide a large amount of water resources for the entire middle and lower reaches, and at the same time provide new attractions for local tourism development.

Just like the Three Gorges, it is not only a giant hub, but also a major tourist attraction.

Once the entire hub project is completed, it will form a huge reservoir with a 30-kilometer river section, a water surface area of ​​150 square kilometers, and a storage capacity of 40 billion cubic meters, which is much higher than the storage capacity of the Three Gorges.

After the completion of the entire project, "High Gorges and Flat Lakes" became a reality, which gave residents along the coast more possibilities to improve their lives. Because the water flow in the reservoir is gentle, it is very suitable for tourism projects such as farm stays. When coupled with water entertainment projects, the entire reservoir area will become the new star of the regional tourism industry.

At this time, the construction team was working intensively on the construction site, and in the sky, the bionic bird robot was patrolling 24 hours a day.

No one knows that there is an aerospace fighter plane in suborbital space that is conducting all-round monitoring and escorting the construction of the project.

At this time, Cai Jin saw that the machine was constantly digging holes. This was a water diversion culvert that would irrigate millions of acres of land and was also the source of water supply for a large area.

Such water diversion culverts will be built on both sides of the mountain canyons to maximize the use of the water resources in this reservoir.

Cai Jin came here this time because this hydropower station requires many new materials, which must be provided by Future Technology Group.

Such a huge hydropower station itself contains a lot of technology, both in structure and use of materials.

The research institute has been involved in the design of hydropower stations.

Such a huge hydropower station, thanks to its new structure and new materials, can withstand a magnitude 10 earthquake.

As for the anti-strike ability, even if a ballistic missile carrying a warhead of several thousand kilograms directly hits the dam, the effect will be minimal. In other words, it will just scratch an itch.

Of course, this is considered from the worst case scenario.

In fact, the possibility of this happening is extremely slim.

At this time, Cai Jin was admiring the beautiful scenery upstream through the bionic bird robot.

"Lancang River Hydropower Station, Yarlung Zangbo River Hydropower Station, haha, after the completion of these two giant hydropower stations~~" Cai Jin's mouth raised slightly.

The purpose of construction of two giant hub projects is only one aspect, water diversion, and deeper considerations are not enough to convince outsiders.

Not only is it necessary to build these two giant hydropower stations, Cai Jin's visit this time is also to conduct aerial photography and research of the entire Southeast Asia, South Asia, Southwest, Northwest, and Central China.

A large-scale research project is currently underway, which is how to introduce water vapor from the Indian Ocean to China to benefit China.

For such a large project, a large amount of meteorological data and topographic data must be mastered, and a large amount of research must be conducted to form a good plan.

Compared with this, the two giant hydropower stations on the Lancang River and the Brahmaputra River can only be regarded as so-so.
