The rise of nanometers

Huang Xiuyuan just came out of the laboratory.

When he came to his office, Xiao Yingnan hurriedly reported to him the recent company affairs.

"...Mr. Huang, the three desalination plants in Rizhao, Daocheng and Dongying have now passed trial operation tests and entered official production."

"The engineering machinery processing plant acquired by Snail Industry has been integrated and has begun mass production of desalination vehicles."

"Fengmin Agriculture's pasture at the Dongying Dairy Breeding Base has been initially renovated and is trying to plant alfalfa."

Huang Xiuyuan nodded: "Yes, let's continue to follow up on these things. Is there anything else?"

"General Manager Fang of Locust Ant has reported the integration plan of United Water Affairs. Currently, United Water Affairs has completed the integration of water affairs in 32 cities, of which 7 water plants have been initially renovated."

…

Next to the beach tidal flat in Dongying, here is the famous Yellow River Delta tidal flat area.

The desalination plant invested and built by Blue Era is located here.

The newly thawed land does not affect the factory's production. A steady stream of seawater is pumped up from the Bohai Sea and injected into the potash refining workshop.

The completely sealed potassium salt refining workshop is injected with six-cone spherical oxygen, and then the potassium salt is quickly extracted from it. Rows of robotic arms and gantry cranes use the electromagnetic attraction of electromagnets to extract the six-cone spherical oxygen-potassium sulfate from seawater. Suck it out.

The gantry crane moves as a whole, leaves the seawater pool with its mechanical arm, goes to the salt storage pool on one side, and de-energizes the electromagnet.

Immediately, light red "snowflakes" fell from above the salt storage tank. During the falling process, due to the loss of electrification, the six-cone ball oxygen and potassium sulfate were decombined.

When the electromagnet head of the robotic arm is close to the bottom of the salt storage tank again, the system detects that the distance between the salt layer and the electromagnet is about 5 cm, and then stops approaching and energizes the six-cone ball oxygen in the salt layer.

In the light red salt layer on the surface, the six-cone ball oxygen was quickly sucked up, leaving only the flawless white potassium sulfate powder in the salt layer.

There are a total of 12 such workshops.

Behind the potassium salt refining workshop is the gold refining workshop. The gold content of seawater is very low, but the refined gold is a sure-fire way to make money.

On average, only 10 to 12 kilowatt hours of electricity are consumed to refine one gram of gold.

Compared with opening a gold mine, there are mines, engineering equipment, miners risking their lives, and a lot of chemical reagents for refining. If you encounter a low-grade mining area, you may suffer losses.

The Bohai Sea is a near-land ocean with a higher concentration of elements than the deep sea. The average gold content per ton of seawater is about 0.5 to 0.8 mg.

The ocean with the highest gold content in seawater is the Caribbean Sea near Central America. The average gold content per ton of seawater reaches 15 to 18 milligrams.

At the seawater desalination plant in Dongying, 50 to 80 kilograms of gold can be obtained for every 100 million cubic meters of seawater extracted.

From gold alone, you can earn 12 to 20 million yuan in income every year.

After continuous refining, the seawater enters the purified water area and directly passes through the water purified membrane. The purified water enters the purified water reserve area, and the filtered coarse salt enters the coarse salt reserve area.

At present, the plant's daily seawater processing capacity is about 350,000 cubic meters, and under extreme conditions, it can process 500,000 cubic meters of seawater per day.

In the factory's water pipeline gate control room, a small temporary platform was set up and a festive red banner was raised.

Several local leaders, together with the manager of Blue Times Dongying Branch and the director of the desalination plant, cut the ribbon to celebrate the commissioning of the desalination plant.

"I announce that the first phase of Dongying City's seawater desalination plant project has been officially put into operation."

In addition to the employees of the desalination plant, there are also many local media from Shandong Province and special interviewers from the national news.

There was applause and photographers were snapping shots.

Wang Xiaobing, who returned from the Chagan Lake interview, came to Dongying again. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, she interviewed Wang Jingjing, the manager of the Dongying branch.

"Hello, Manager Wang, how much pure water can this desalination plant supply to Dongying every year?"

Wang Jingqing replied with a smile: "Currently we supply 340,000 cubic meters of pure water every day and are expected to provide 100 million cubic meters of pure water every year."

Wang Xiaobing turned around, stared at the camera and said: "According to relevant data, Dongying City's water supply last year was 92 million cubic meters. In 1999, the annual water supply reached its peak of 259 million cubic meters. The commissioning of the seawater desalination plant, or It will completely improve the water problem in Dongying area and also enhance the vitality of industrial agriculture."

The camera turned and she asked again:

"Manager Wang, will your company expand the scale of its seawater desalination plant in the future?"

Wang Jingliang took the interviewers to the factory's sand table. This sand table is the terrain of Shandong Province.

"In the future, our company will expand the scale of desalination plants in Dongying, Daocheng, and Rizhao, and gradually build water pipelines."

On the sand table, starting from the mouth of the Old Yellow River in Dongying, it is divided into two water transmission lines, namely:

Dongying South Line: Dongying Old Yellow River Estuary - Dongying City - Binzhou Boxing - Zibo Huantai - Zibo City - Zichuan District - Boshan District.

Dongying North Line: Dongying Old Yellow River Estuary - Binzhou Guhua District - Binzhou City - Quancheng Shanghe - Dezhou Linyi - Dezhou Yucheng - Liaocheng Gaotang - Liaocheng City - Taiqian (Henan Province) ——Heze Yuncheng——Heze City District.

In addition to being self-sufficient in the seawater desalination plant in Daocheng, it also supplies Gaomi in Weifang. In addition, Weihai and Yantai are preparing to jointly build a seawater desalination plant.

Weifang will also build a desalination plant. In addition to supplying local supplies, it will also be integrated into the Dongying South Line to reduce the water supply pressure of the Dongying desalination plant.

On the Rizhao Factory side, the Rizhao Line is established, passing through: Rizhao Lanshan District - Linyi Junan - Linyi City - Linyi Lanling - Zaozhuang City Central District - Zaozhuang City.

There are also a large number of feeders and reserve reservoirs.

The reporters were also very shocked when they saw this grand plan.

"...Our company plans to increase the supply of desalinated water in the entire Shandong Province to 10 billion cubic meters per year in the next five years."

"Will such a huge investment put any pressure on your company's finances?" a reporter from Shandong TV Station asked with some concern.

Wang Jingqing replied with a smile: "There is some pressure. We and the Shandong Provincial Water Affairs Corporation have planned to invest 90% of profits in the construction of pipeline networks in the next five years."

In fact, the Shandong Province attaches great importance to Suiren Company's water pipeline plan, and has even set up a special team to cooperate with land acquisition and route planning along the way, and has also provided considerable subsidies.

Because these water pipelines and desalination plants are a huge opportunity for Shandong Province.

As a strong industrial and agricultural province in the north, although Shandong Province faces the sea on both sides, the annual precipitation is 600 to 800 mm.

The problem is that a large amount of water is consumed by industry and agriculture. The pollution caused by industry and agriculture has led to very poor water quality in Shandong Province.

In addition, the huge population means that the per capita water supply is even lower than in some areas in the northwest (the population is small, so the per capita water supply is high).

As the Shandong Province TV station and national news reported one after another, I watched the white desalinated water flowing out from the factory.

For all parts of North China, the impact is huge and unimaginable.

These traditional industrial and agricultural areas have fallen into a development bottleneck and are looking for a breakthrough. The previous water affairs reform in Shandong Province gave them some ideas.

Now they are even more urgent, especially Hebei Province, which has coastal areas, and Beiping and Tianjin, which are close to the sea, are all planning.

The inland provinces of Henan and Shanxi are currently in a difficult situation.
