Chapter 316: A Thorny Problem
This design can meet the needs of some brave tourists, or those who like excitement.
"There are a lot of people here, huh?" Zhang Xian came up only to find that there were dozens of people on this observation deck.
"Yes, this attraction is one of the most famous attractions in our Anxi County, and tourists who come here will basically come here to check it out, I didn't clear the venue in advance, Lord Shoufu won't be angry, right?" Wang Quan teased like an old friend.
"You. Zhang Xian shook his head and walked straight to the edge of the platform to look into the distance.
I saw a huge square square array neatly arranged, like soldiers waiting for the general's inspection, very spectacular.
Wang Quan explained:
"One of our large-scale photovoltaic bases covers an area of 100 square kilometers, and Tongtian fruit trees have been planted between the photovoltaic bases as a barrier, so as to make this land more green. โ
"Last year, we built four large-scale photovoltaic bases in Anxi County, and this year's goal is to build ten more, and we have completed this goal two months ahead of schedule. Wang Quan proudly introduced all this.
According to Wang Quan, it took only one month to build a large-scale photovoltaic base in Anxi County, and at this time, I had to sigh at the 24-hour work efficiency of the robot.
The New Tang Empire has been able to maintain ultra-high-speed development in the past two or three years under such a large volume as before, which is inseparable from the national automation reform.
"The sunshine in our Anxi County should be good, how much electricity can these photovoltaic district bases supply each year?" Zhang Xian said.
He doesn't know much about those technical parameters, and he doesn't care, he just needs to know the most intuitive thing, which is how much electricity the PV base can provide to the empire every year, which is the most important thing.
Then there is the secondary issue of the cost of building a PV base, as well as the future benefits.
"Because the sunshine hours in Anxi County are longer than those in ordinary places, especially the places where photovoltaic bases are built, and there is no rain in this place all year round, each photovoltaic base can supply about 53 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to the empire every year under the premise of no special circumstances of force majeure," said Wang Quanru. โ
The current electricity charges of the New Tang Empire are mainly divided into four categories: electricity for civil lighting, agriculture, industry and commerce.
The cost of electricity in these four categories is increasing sequentially, that is, the electricity for civil lighting is the cheapest, and the electricity for commercial use is the most expensive.
Before the New Tang Empire, electricity consumption was relatively tight, so the electricity bill was a little higher than that of ordinary countries.
The price of electricity for civil lighting is 0.2 Tang Yuan per kilowatt-hour;
The price of electricity for agriculture is 0.22 Tang Yuan per kilowatt-hour;
The price of industrial electricity is 0.25 Tang Yuan per kilowatt-hour;
The price of commercial electricity is 0.3 Tang Yuan per kilowatt-hour.
Commercial electricity is 0.3 Tang Yuan, that is, 0.6 US dollars, which is equivalent to about 4.15 soft sister coins, which is more than twice as high as the electricity bill in Huaguo.
This is also the reason why Li Quan attaches so much importance to this photovoltaic base.
In modern society, what is most important.
Of course, energy is the most important, and there must be an option to restrict the further development of Nutang in the future, so he heard that Anxi County had completed the goal ahead of schedule, so he asked Zhang Xian to come over to inspect it in person to see if there was any fraud below.
After listening to Wang Quan's introduction, Zhang Xian silently calculated in his heart that if he charges according to the civil electricity standard, then a photovoltaic base can probably have an annual revenue of 10.6 billion Tang Yuan without calculating the transmission loss, if it is charged according to the agricultural electricity standard, the annual revenue is 11.66 billion Tang Yuan, and the annual revenue is 13.25 billion Tang Yuan according to the industrial electricity standard, and the annual revenue will be as high as 15.9 billion Tang Yuan if it is charged according to the highest commercial electricity standard.
The cost of a photovoltaic base has been compressed to about 5 billion Tang Yuan in the case of automated production and large-scale robot installation, and because the later stage is basically maintained by robots, each photovoltaic base only needs about five or six real workers.
The sum of the annual wages of five or six people is almost negligible relative to output.
This also means that even according to the cheapest civil electricity standard, it only takes less than half a year to pay back.
"Very good, very good, your fifteen large-scale photovoltaic bases can provide nearly 800 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity for the empire every year, which can already meet the electricity demand of the empire for most of the year, and there is even a surplus. Zhang Xian said with emotion.
This is Zhang Xian's prediction of the electricity consumption of the New Tang Dynasty Empire this year, the total electricity consumption of New Tang this year is about 1.1 trillion kilowatt-hours, which should not exceed 1.2 trillion kilowatt-hours, but it will definitely exceed this value next year.
"Lord Shoufu, this is not so, our Anxi County is too far away from the mainland, how to transmit electricity back is a very big problem, by sea, or by land, but it has to pass through many countries on the way, how to get them to agree to our construction of cables in their country, what if someone steals electricity, what if someone damages, and even what if someone reduces the wire and steals it, and the loss in the middle should also be considered, the longer the distance, the greater the loss, these are all problems we need to consider, I am dying of sorrowใ Wang Quan complained.
"I'll tell you the truth, when I heard that His Majesty sent you to inspect, I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night, and I was looking forward to you helping me solve this problem. Wang Quan didn't care about Zhang Xian's frowning brow at all.
"This is indeed a big problem, you can't just produce electricity, if you can't transmit it back, it's a waste, and the role that Anxi County should play for the empire will be gone, but I believe Your Majesty must have a way to solve this problem." Zhang Xian also frowned and said, but it was best to believe in Li Quan.
As soon as Wang Quan heard it, he understood the meaning of Zhang Xian's words, that is, he wanted to see if there was a solution to this problem in His Majesty's alien technology.
"Lord Shoufu, I have an idea here, I hope you can help pass it on to Your Majesty, and see if Your Majesty agrees?" Wang Quan said suddenly.
"Oh, what do you think? You can't be a trick in front of me, right?" Zhang Xian doubted.
Wang Quan's expression was unnatural, and he immediately denied it: "How is it possible, how dare my subordinates trick adults, it is true that the leaders of the countries around our Anxi County have come to me during this time, hoping that we can provide electricity support for their country, and even hope that we can directly go to their country to build a photovoltaic base and supply it nearby, but I don't dare to decide such a big thing, didn't you just come over this time, what do you think?"
"What do you think you are tricking me, it turns out that this is the case, this is a good thing, of course you have to make money, I believe Your Majesty will agree." Zhang Xian immediately replied when he heard it.
Even if His Majesty did not have this plan before, he was confident that he would convince His Majesty.
"Then do we still need to continue to build our photovoltaic base, without His Majesty's will, we dare not stop, but the top priority now should be to solve the problem of how to transmit electricity back, otherwise the electricity converted in the photovoltaic base will be wasted, after all, there is not much excess electricity stored here." Wang Quan said.
"Don't worry, I'll discuss this matter with Your Majesty as soon as I go back. Zhang Xian assured.
"Thank you, Shousuke-sama. Wang Quan hugged his fists and said, this is true, he has been worried about these things recently, but he does not have the authority to contact His Majesty directly.
"It's business, you know, I've always been on business, so you don't have to thank me, thank you, just prepare me wine and food in the evening to entertain me. Zhang Xian said.
