Technological Hegemony

Luo Jia nodded, "Look at the wind turbines opposite. I checked the information. They were built in 2015. In that year, my country's wind power installed capacity also reached the highest in history, 30.75GW."

"But only two years later, by 2017, the installed capacity had dropped rapidly to 18GW, a drop of 42 percent."

Li Moran didn't understand very much, "Wind energy and solar energy are both future-oriented new energy sources, and their development should be accelerated. Why is there still a strange phenomenon of a sharp decline in installed capacity?"

Luo Jia laughed, "It's not surprising at all. If you work in the power grid, you will understand that they even call wind power a grid killer."

"Because the wind is very unstable, when there is a sudden gust of wind, the wind turbines will desperately generate electricity for a while. After a while, the wind stops, and they will not generate electricity again."

"What the power grid needs is stability, but the wind turbine is like a lunatic, uncontrollable at all. When you want it to generate electricity, it runs out of electricity. After the peak of electricity consumption, you don't need it to generate electricity. power transmission."

"In the end, the power grid engineers were helpless, so these wind turbines were running all the time, but a large part of the electricity generated was directly wasted."

"At the peak of history, more than 20% of wind power was directly thrown away. Even today, when the power grid is desperately trying to control it, the wind power directly thrown away is as high as 13%. Point four, resulting in a huge waste."

"The same goes for solar energy. Every day at noon is the peak of solar power generation, and then it starts to fall back all the time. The power generation curve is like a mountain."

Li Moran understands that although wind and solar energy are good, they are very unstable. Although my country currently has the largest installed capacity of wind and solar energy in the world, the waste rate is also the highest.

In this world, are there any examples of efficient use of new energy?

In fact, there are still.

In Norway, a country in northern Europe, 60% of electricity comes from offshore wind farms. They have built the most advanced wind power system in the world by using accurate prediction of wind power.

Of course, Norway is a small country after all, and the efficient use of clean energy there is completely different from that in China, which is 9.6 million square kilometers.

If you use the language of the game to describe it, Norway uses clean energy to call it the easy mode, or the normal mode, and if China wants to imitate it, it is equivalent to opening the difficulty of hell.

Luo Jia's description made Li Moran feel panicked,

Chinese people hate waste by nature, and the waste of clean energy is so serious that no one will feel comfortable listening to it.

But fortunately, Luo Jia quickly gave a solution.

"So we need large-scale energy storage technology." Luo Jia said, "Store unstable wind power in equipment similar to super-large battery packs, and then smoothly transmit it to the whole country according to the needs of the grid."

"You should know that the most economically developed areas in our country are the coasts. If large-scale wind farms are built along the coasts, compared to building wind farms in the west, it can reduce the trouble of long-distance transmission, generate electricity at sea, and use it directly in coastal cities."

"At present, there are two giant companies in the world's offshore wind power field. Siemens of Germany accounts for 48%, and Vitas of Denmark accounts for 39%. Their technologies are the best and they have the most experience. .”

Luo Jia said lightly, "But in the next few years, they will be killed."

Li Moran shook his head with a smile. Although Luo Jia did not say who will kill Siemens and Vitas' offshore wind power hegemony, is it still necessary to say?

Whenever Luo Jia starts to conduct in-depth research in a certain field, then this field must be the target of Star Technology.

As old partners when they started their business, Luo Jia and Li Moran had a very good relationship. They knew everything, and they sat by the river and chatted for a long time.

It turned out that Luo Jia already had a whole set of plans for the development of the energy field.

First of all, the energy that was wasted in the past must be utilized. Not only wind power and solar power generation will be wasted, but all power generation modes except hydropower will generate waste.

Take thermal power as an example. At night, when electricity consumption decreases, thermal power units will have to reduce power generation efficiency. In fact, most thermal power plants in the country have not reached the state of full-load operation, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

As for the annual increase in electricity demand, Luo Jia hopes to rely on clean energy to solve it. In the future, less thermal power plants will be built and more wind power projects will be built.

This requires Xingchen Technology to quickly advance towards the two fields of energy storage batteries and offshore wind turbines after solving the problem of electric vehicles, breaking the dominance of Siemens and Vitas in the field of offshore wind power.

The field of electric vehicles cannot be given up either. The 300WH battery is only a cheap solution for quick launch. In the future, the second-generation technology and the third-generation technology will be studied.

At the same time, after solving the battery and electronic control, Star Technology also needs to solve the problem of the motor.

In the electric vehicle industry, the battery is like the blood in a person's body, the electric control is like a person's nerve conduction system, and the motor is like a person's heart. An excellent long-distance runner must have a strong enough heart. .

This is the job of Luo Jia, he is the one who drew the blueprint for Xingchen Technology.

In the software field, with its own operating system, the software department can develop its own industrial software on the basis of the operating system to further strengthen the overall competitiveness.

In the field of hardware, with batteries, the hardware department will naturally enter the automotive industry, power generation and energy storage industries.

Li Moran was excited. The blueprint for Star Technology in the next few years was all in Luo Jia's head. Around the two foundations of the car and the operating system, the company still had too much to do.

Of course, nuclear fusion is the ultimate solution to the energy problem, and all previous solutions are just excessive.

However, the process of the golden dome imparting knowledge to Luo Jia is like going to school, starting from the most basic.

Luo Jia is now probably equivalent to a primary school student in an extraterrestrial civilization, and cannot solve the big problem of nuclear fusion at all.

But if we can’t solve it, we have to move forward, so Luo Jia’s only choice is to upgrade step by step on the basis of the existing technology on the earth.

Although the speed will be slower, it is better than lying in bed and sleeping, waiting for the golden dome to transmit the nuclear fusion technology.

The road is there, as long as you keep going forward, you will reach the end one day.

"It's getting hotter and hotter, let's go back." Luo Jia stood up, looked at the summer sun, and said to Li Moran, "By the way, how is the progress of the software department?"

Li Moran and Luo Jia crossed the road together to push the motorcycle, "You have arranged such a difficult task for us, how could it be done overnight."

"Now only me and a small number of people stay in the software department, and most of my colleagues have entered the factory."

"You're right, industrial software is an industrial problem first, and a software problem second. According to the feedback from various groups, they learned a lot in the factory, but it still takes time for their software writing skills to be connected to the industry. .”

Luo Jia said happily, "This is a good thing. When our people leave the factory, they will become unique existences in the world. They are familiar with software and industry, and they will have a lot to do in the future."

Li Moran was slightly taken aback, this is true, industrial experts plus software experts, both fields can take it all, it really looks amazing.

They returned to the company along the original road, had breakfast in the cafeteria, and then Li Moran went back to work in the software center, while Luo Jia was going to visit Yadea's headquarters.

Electric vehicles have a long industrial chain and are still in the preparation period, while domestic electric bicycles and motorcycles will soon go overseas and hit the global market.

If you use war terms to describe them, they are the vanguard of this war.

 …

"Hi everyone, I'm Francis, and I'm doing real-time reporting for you in China right now."

Luo Jia drove to the headquarters of Yadea Company in Wuxi. When passing by the urban area, he saw a group of foreigners set up their mobile phones, and they were shooting wildly at the Mobike motorcycles that had just been placed on the street last night.

For the purpose of investigation, Luo Jia parked the car on the side of the road, and then ran over to watch.

It turned out that this was a group of international students studying in Huaxia, who worked as self-media in their spare time, recorded the customs and customs of Huaxia into programs, and put them on overseas video websites.

Today they are here to shoot shared motorcycles. In the past, when shared bicycles were not electrified, they had aroused strong interest from overseas, and many companies tried to imitate them, but in the end they were almost wiped out.

The reason is simple, because the quality of foreigners is not higher than that of Huaxia. For example, Mobike's project in the UK directly lost its pants.

Those shared bicycles were smashed by the British people, thrown into the river, set on fire, etc., and played a lot of tricks.

On the Internet, many big Vs often say that shared bicycles are a mirror of the quality of the people, and they are used to attack the poor quality of Chinese people.

After the shared bicycles went overseas, these big Vs shut up one after another, because the facts are there.

The so-called how civilized and high-quality developed countries are is purely the imagination of reverse nationalists. It is the same all over the world.

Francis and his friends happily described how advanced motorcycles are, ahead of the whole world.

They also rode the bicycles for a few laps, and put the bicycles next to the charging pile. When the charging indicator light came on, Francis screamed excitedly.

Luo Jia finally discovered that it turns out that not only Huaxia has foreign players, but there are also Chinese players among foreigners.

Francis said in English that Huaxia was one hundred years ahead of his motherland, the UK, in terms of technology. Even Luo Jia couldn't listen to such words. It was too shameful, so let's withdraw quickly.

For Luo Jia, shared bicycles are only a link in future transportation. The first electric bicycle is not because it is the best, but because it is the easiest to manufacture and the cheapest. The real big move is yet to come.

When the car was on the road, Luo Jia also saw the scene of the police arresting people.

There was a middle-aged man in his fifties who moved a shared bicycle into his home, but was immediately located by the police. He was caught on the side of the road, handcuffed, and pushed into the police car, scaring the guy almost to death. I'm about to pee.

Seeing this situation, Luo Jia pouted disapprovingly.

Some people just underestimate the power of the country. This time is completely different from the previous ones. Bike sharing has become an important part of the future transportation plan. The country has spent all its money to upgrade to all electric vehicles.

This is the national situation. When Huaxia decides to do one thing with all its strength, no one can stop it.

In the past, if you put a lock on the shared bicycle and moved home secretly, the police didn't bother to care about you.

But now, hey.

It can be regarded as a small investigation in Wuxi City. At about noon, Luo Jia's car drove into Yadea's headquarters.
