Chapter 677: Catching Lightning

As Henry expected, Niu Hongfei, president of IMDB Group China, failed to acquire Wanda Group. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Wang Jianlin is ambitious and has no idea of selling Wanda Group at all. However, Henry doesn't care about such trivial matters. With IMDB Group here, just a Wanda Group, can it still go to heaven?

The top priority at the moment is the desert transformation plan, Henry spent a trillion dollars to buy such a large desert, it must be developed, otherwise the money will be wasted!

The desert transformation is unprecedented in scale, with the construction of 62 large-scale underground seawater pipelines passing through 44 countries. At the same time, 128 railways, including 14 trunk railway lines, have been established to connect the whole of Africa. In addition, we will work with other countries to build roads, build solar wireless charging stations, lay communication base stations, power grids, water pipelines, and so on. The program will address the employment of at least five million workers in Africa.

Everything has been planned, just wait for Henry to come back and finalize!!

At 4 p.m. on September 1, Henry returned to the Williams Empire on his own plane.

Three days later, all the countries of the "Weiyuan" system came to the Williams Empire and held a summit meeting of African countries, and under the announcement of Henry, the desert transformation plan was officially launched!

There is such a big move in Africa, which naturally shocks the whole world!

Reuters, Bloomberg, Fortune, Financial Times and other media outlets have praised the desert transformation plan, saying that the desert transformation plan will start to take off Africa's economy!!

Netizens couldn't help but sigh: "Africa is going to be awesome!!"

In view of the rapid development of Africa's economy, countless enterprises have entered Africa, but all powerful companies have established branches in the Williams Empire, especially the capital city of Diego, with a population of more than 23.5 million, second only to the largest city in Asia and the second largest city in the world - RB Tokyo, with 36.4 million people, ranking second in the world. In the current financial crisis, the property market has plummeted, but in Diego City, it is the opposite. Housing prices are soaring, with the average price of a house at the foot of Williams Palace being $500,000 per square meter, making it the most expensive place in the world.

At present, Diego is still rapidly expanding the city, and is building the Diego Dungeon, with the intention of surpassing the "Montreal Dungeon" to create the largest underground city in the world.

Located in the underground district of Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, the Montreal Underground City is 17 kilometers long, with a total area of 4 million square meters, a total length of 30 kilometers of pedestrian streets, connecting 10 subway stations, 2,000 shops, 200 restaurants, 40 banks, 34 cinemas, 2 universities, 2 train stations and a long-distance station. Montreal is one of the three most inhabitable cities in the world today thanks to the fact that it has the largest underground city in the world.

Diego Dungeon will be 100 times larger than Montreal Dungeon and is planned to be built within 10 years.

One Diego on the ground, one Diego underground, this is awesome!

In addition, the Diego World Island project will be completed in about two years next year, and by then, it will also welcome millions of people. In addition, Henry sent people to build an undersea hotel, and as a result, a lot of undersea construction skills have been accumulated, and in the near future, Diego Undersea City will rise from the ground!

After calculation, in the future, will there be a super city with a population of more than 100 million?!!

……

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, the number of companies registered in the Williams Empire has increased by nearly 60,000, and the number of new people has increased by 2.415 million, although it has promoted the development of Diego City, but it has also brought a lot of pressure, especially the use of electricity, which is very tight!" In Henry's office, Villerett reported.

"Well, hydropower and solar power alone can't supply such a huge demand for electricity!" Henry nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "The technology of the third-generation nuclear power plant is quite mature, and the super energy company can be ordered to choose a suitable place in Madagascar to build three large nuclear power plants!"

"Okay!"

"Oh, by the way, Welllet, let Tesla ramp up its efforts to develop long-range wireless power transmission technology, which one day can be used to deliver electricity to any corner of the world!!"

"Your Majesty, is this idea of yours too crazy?"

"Do you think it's unrealistic?" asked Henry, smiling.

Violet shook her head, "It's just hard to imagine!"

Yes, it's hard to imagine, but Nikola Tesla had the courage to act on it, and although it was a bit of a shame to fail, it was a great idea. His failure is not meaningless, at least it gives us a direction to study. Now that we're more technologically advanced and have more money, it's enough to keep us going!I'm sure we'll succeed!" Henry said confidently.

Speaking of Nikola Tesla, it occurred to Henry that this awesome scientist had proposed to capture lightning as an energy source.

In fact, the energy of a lightning bolt is not much, it can only make a 100-watt light bulb light up for 3 months, but there are more than 100 lightning phenomena per second in the world, and the total electrical energy released by lightning in a year is about 1.75 billion kilowatt-hours. If the electricity cost of one kilowatt-hour is 0.30 kilowatts, the value of lightning in the world is 5.25 trillion kilowatts a year, which is undoubtedly a huge fortune.

Seeing Henry pondering, Violet knew he must be thinking about something, so she stood by and watched him quietly.

In the middle of the ring, Henry said to Villerett with a little excitement: "Wellet, you will inform Tesla Company later, and let them set up a department to specialize in how to capture lightning as an energy !!."

Wellett was taken aback. "Your Majesty, you mean catching lightning?"

"Yes, it's catching lightning!"

"But Your Majesty, as far as I know, the current withstand voltage value of supercapacitors is not up to 100,000, and the voltage of lightning is as little as a few million volts, as high as more than 1 billion volts, how can this store the energy of lightning?"

Henry nodded and said with a smile: "So, I decided to let Tesla work hard to develop a supercapacitor that can withstand lightning as soon as possible! And such a supercapacitor can also be applied to many aspects, and has a huge effect on the military, aerospace, transportation, electronics, and so on!

Willier nodded, "Well, yes, Your Majesty, you're right, then I'll go and inform Tesla ...... now?"

"Well, go ahead!"
