Site selection is not only a technical job, but also an individual work. In the list of candidates listed by Hong Xiaoxiao, Lu Zixin went to run all of them, but fortunately, his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and he has high-tech equipment to assist, otherwise just the fatigue of traveling and driving would be enough for him.

In a wasteland in northern China, an investigation team led by Lu Zixin camped and slept in the wasteland. The instruments used for the investigation have already been arranged, and the data of geology, climate, light and other aspects will be collected one by one for analysis and investigation.

"Overall, the situation here is a little bit better than the ones we visited before. In the tent, a member of the investigation team said, "The land here is rich in resources, to the east, near the sea, to the west, there is the Heijiang River system that can provide rich water resources." Proximity to Russia, easy to buy all kinds of raw material resources......"

Lu Zixin kept frowning and did not express his opinion. To this day, he has visited many places, but he is not satisfied with all of them.

He now kind of understands why in science fiction movies, the research bases of those big companies are often in places that are rarely populated. From the perspective of construction, of course, the better the natural conditions, the better the economically developed places.

In terms of the protection of scientific and technological secrets and the planning of high-tech projects, the more inaccessible the place, the more suitable for construction.

For example, in some important high-tech research bases, the security and confidentiality are far higher than the economic cost. In particular, Lu Zixin has some black technology research, if it is placed in these ordinary places, I am afraid that it will encounter all kinds of interference.

This is by no means unfounded, and now some of the technologies of Hongxin Group have attracted great attention from various countries. In the past few years, even commercial espionage and technological espionage have discovered some of them, and they have been secretly disposed of by relevant agencies.

"I don't think it's going to work here, the next location, let's go to this place. Lu Zixin pointed to a mark on the map.

Seeing this, the team members were all shocked and said, "Desert?"

......

The Taklamakan Desert, located in the center of the Tarim Basin, is the first desert in China and the second largest in the world. Standing here, it is like coming to a place abandoned by nature, an endless sea of sand, which makes people feel intimidated.

In the yellow sand, there is no breath of life in sight. There is no greenery, no water, just the endless sand and the ever-changing sand dunes!

The people in the inspection team would never have imagined that Lu Zixin actually wanted to build a research base here—they didn't know the plan for the city of the future.

"It's just the edge of the desert, but there's still no resource to use. If you want to build a research center here, it will take a lot of effort just to prevent the desert. Not to mention the construction of a large building in the yellow sand!" The members of the expedition team shook their heads repeatedly, and none of them agreed.

"Who said there are no resources?" Lu Zixin smiled and said, "What do you feel when you stand here?"

"That's a lot of sand!"

"Hot!"

"Thirsty, a little heatstroke!"

"The wind is so strong, the sand and dust make people can't open their eyes!" the members of the inspection team complained one by one.

"That's right!" Lu Zixin did not deny their feelings, and said: "The natural conditions here are indeed harsh, but it also has the biggest advantage, and that is it!"

Lu Zixin pointed to the sky, and the scorching sun forced people to not open their eyes. He continued: "The sunshine hours here are longer, and the solar energy resources are the biggest treasure trove! Isn't such an abundance of clean energy the best gift from nature?"

"Mr. Lu, this ...... There is sun shining everywhere, and there are many better places than this!" The team members were speechless, "And the other natural conditions here are too harsh, vegetation, water resources, even scientific researchers, they don't want to stay in this kind of place!"

"It's safer here!" Lu Zixin said, "and building here won't be disturbed too much." ”

"Moreover, we are the world's top technology company, and the natural environment should not be an obstacle for us, but a ladder for us to move forward!

The team members still find it difficult to accept Lu Zixin's "brainwashing", but they can't object to what Lu Zixin has already decided, so they can only put forward reference opinions.

Lu Zixin also knew how unreliable his ideas were in the eyes of ordinary people, but he decided in his heart that this was the case.

It is located on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, surrounded by no one and suitable for the construction of an important scientific and technological base.

In addition, because of the increasing desertification of the land, the local government is very welcome to build here to prevent and control the desert. To build a city, Hongxin Group requires an incomparably huge area of land resources. No matter where the economic conditions are acceptable, the price required to get such a piece of land is sky-high, but here, the local government is eager to give Hongxin Group free of charge to develop, as long as it can prevent and control the desert, it can save them a lot of environmental protection costs every year.

Moreover, there are no underground mineral resources here, and the land is basically vacant, so it is useless to hand it over to enterprises for development.

The city of the future designed by Red Little has a complete ecosystem of its own. With a strong ability to resist natural disasters, Lu Zixin only needs to solve the problem of desertification here before he can start the construction of the future capital.

The expedition team remained in the desert area, and Lu Zixin returned to the city to study related issues with Hongxiao.

"To build a city in the desert, you first have to solve the ecological problem. Desertified land is not suitable for the construction of large buildings and is not suitable for human habitation. "Abba, according to the existing desert treatment methods, it will take us at least twenty years and invest billions of dollars and other costs to green the desert in the required area!"

"I'll solve this problem. Lu Zixin felt that the members of the science and technology group must have a way to solve this kind of small problem.

"Well, then the next issue is energy. Urban construction and development require a lot of energy, and the cost of long-distance transportation is high, so we can use solar energy to build power stations for upfront energy maintenance. Before large industrial sites and cities are operational, solar energy is sufficient to provide the required energy support. "The second question is listed.

"Then build a photovoltaic power station and make full use of solar energy. Lu Zixin approved an "implementation" instruction on the schedule.

The construction and operation of the city of the future will definitely require a lot of energy. Especially in fully intelligent cities, the consumption of energy is absolutely astronomical, and traditional thermal power stations are estimated to be unbearable, and nuclear power plants are also needed. In the short term, Hongxin Group does not have the strength to build nuclear power plants, and solar power generation is enough to cope with the current situation.
