After a night's rest in Dunhuang, the next morning, Shen Qi and other leading experts from the capital took a helicopter to inspect the ground works of the "Point of Light Project."

The helicopter flew southwest and soon reached the sky over the town of Yangguan.

The ancients said that "there is no one in Yangguan in the west", and today people say that "all the way and above are friends".

The means of transport along the Silk Road were upgraded, and the Central European train replaced the camel.

From camels to trains, their mission has not changed: trade, exchange, solidarity of the peoples of the world.

From Dunhuang to Yangguan, tourism is still used to drive GDP. In front of the Mogao Grottoes, tourists are weaving, singing and laughing on the crescent moon spring.

Flying west out of Yangguan Town, Shen Qi overlooked below, the area covered by tourism ended here, and the west of Jiashan was a military control area, with high barbed wire fences endlessly, and heavily armed soldiers patrolling 24 hours a day.

The soldiers guarded a series of industrial buildings of different shapes, some of which have been completed and some are under construction.

Engineers and construction workers wearing hard hats carried out the construction work in a tense and orderly manner, and a series of construction vehicles as mighty as metal monsters waved their mechanical arms flexibly under their command.

Happy and excited travelers, solemn and majestic soldiers, meticulous builders.

The grottoes that have gone through thousands of years, the spring water of the phantom dragon, and the construction site in full swing.

It only takes 10 minutes to see the change of scene from the perspective of a helicopter.

Shen Qi couldn't help but chanted: "There is no one in Yangguan in the west, and there is a real hero in Yangguan in the west!"

"Academician Shen is quite literary!" Director Zhao shouted, and the helicopter relied on shouting.

Shen Qi said loudly: "These lovely and respectable engineers, construction workers, and soldiers are all heroes of the country! I don't know their names, but they will definitely go down in history! Director Zhao, you put on your headphones, your voice is uncomfortable after shouting for a long time." ”

After putting on the headphones, Director Zhao is still accustomed to shouting: "Yes, they are all heroes who have been silently dedicated! The country will never treat the heroes who shed blood and sweat badly!"

"The place below is called the Black Dragon Pit, right?" Shen Qi observed the environment on the ground while looking at the map.

Director Zhao replied: "Yes, the Black Dragon Pit! used to be an iron mine. ”

Shen Qi asked with concern: "After this area was requisitioned by the 'Light Point Plan', where did the iron mine workers go?"

Director Zhao, who is in charge of the logistics of the entire project, said: "We have built resettlement houses in Dunhuang and Jiuquan, and the iron mine workers and their families have moved to the resettlement community, and they have new jobs and live very well!"

Shen Qi nodded and said, "That's good, that's good, everything we do is to serve the people." ”

After learning about the resettlement situation, Shen Qi turned to exchange engineering and technical topics with Chief Engineer You: "Chief Engineer You, according to my observation, the construction progress of the ground supporting facilities is quite smooth. ”

"The construction progress of the ground project is in line with our expectations, Academician Shen, you see, the following building is the ground engineering control center, and the front is the power generation area. Chief Engineer You pointed to the distance.

The Black Dragon Pit, where the control center is located, no vegetation can be seen anymore.

Continuing to fly west, all Shen Qi could see was yellow sand as far as he could see.

This is the Kumtak Desert, and further west is the famous Taklamakan Desert.

In the sky above the Kumtak Desert, Shen Qi finally saw with his own eyes the most important component of the ground engineering of the "Point of Light Project".

In the endless desert, there are domestic super-large microcrystalline silicon thin-film battery packs that shimmer with silver light, and from the side, they are arranged in a staggered array according to a certain law, like countless silver armor standing on the yellow sand.

Looking down from above from Shen Qi's perspective, what he saw was a giant silver mirror with an area of one hundred and twenty square kilometers reflecting the boundless blue sky.

Everyone in the helicopter wore sunglasses, and the fragile human eye could not see the dazzling light.

Spectacular, shocking.

This is Shen Qi's personal feeling.

Building such a huge project in the middle of a vast desert is not something that a forward-thinking scientist can easily do with a PPT.

The reason why China was able to build such a magnificent project is due to its strong national strength, the silent dedication of a generation, the succession of 100,000 builders, and the people behind them.

The infrastructure maniac remains invincible in the world, and the ground infrastructure construction in the "Point of Light" project is completed in the shortest possible time or close to completion according to the highest quality standards of the infrastructure maniac.

From heaven to earth, participants in the "Point of Light" project have invented more than 13,000 technology patents.

Under Shen Qi's nose, this group of microcrystalline silicon thin-film cell arrays involves more than 1,000 important technical patent inventions.

In addition to the conceptual conception borrowed from the United States, all the remaining theoretical research, theory to application, engineering design, and engineering manufacturing are positive independent research and development.

Made in China and built in China must rely on Chinese invention and Chinese creation.

When Shen Qi was in charge of the capital command headquarters, he had studied the microcrystalline silicon thin-film battery pack, the core part of the ground engineering, countless times.

The intuitive feeling of being at the scene is more real than reading the information in the computer, which is also the purpose of Shen Qi's research in the northwest.

Shen Qi is the leader of the research team, and in addition to brushing "My Country 666", his more important task is to inspect the progress of ground engineering and understand the actual problems of the Northwest Base or the problems that may occur after the official operation.

According to Shen Qi's preliminary judgment, there is basically no problem with the hardware of the ground engineering.

At the same time, Shen Qi noticed that the outdoor temperature in the 120 square kilometers of microcrystalline silicon thin-film battery area was significantly higher than that in Heilongkeng, Yangguan Town, and Dunhuang.

The microcrystalline silicon thin-film cell pack is laid out in the Kumtak desert, a desert area close to noon, and of course it is very hot.

There are not a single tree around, no vegetation in sight, and not even birds fly here.

The environmental monitoring team of the "Light Point Project" has predicted that once the "Light Point Project" is officially operational, the reflection satellites in the sky will focus the sun's rays in the desert with an efficiency of 400 times the natural light intensity, which will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in the degree of air heating in the area. That is, the place will be hotter in the future.

Heat is one thing, and the microcrystalline silicon thin-film battery is equivalent to a light source with an area of 120 square kilometers, and the area in which it is located is not only super hot, but also super bright. Even at night in the capital time, the "sun" still hangs in the sky of the Kumtak Desert.

The ecosystems of the super-hot, super-bright, diurnal areas will definitely be affected.

The microcrystalline silicon thin-film battery pack of the "Light Spot Project" ground project was selected here because it was originally a desert dead land with no grass and no people.

As the executive chief scientist of the "Point of Light Project", Shen Qi thinks about the problem far-reaching.

Anyway, the "Desert of Death" is not suitable for human beings and the vast majority of animals and plants to thrive, so simply break the jar and break it, and the desert will be ruined.

Is that really the case?

Is it really good to do that?

It's already like this, and the ground works are close to completion as a whole, and it is impossible to move elsewhere.

Shen Qi wrote down a topic in his mind that he needed to continue researching, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the helicopter to return home.
