Chapter 365: Windfall
Ma Xiaoyang said disdainfully: "It's not cowardly, the treasures in the ground are all from the state, and I can't get them when I dig them out. ”
Feng Zhanpeng's interest has long been aroused, and he will not talk nonsense at this time, and made a gesture of please to fully satisfy Ma Xiaoyang's desire to perform.
Ma Xiaoyang nodded with a smile when he saw it, and then said: "We sent people to do some investigation experiments in many areas over there, because we need to know the impact of local natural phenomena such as wind speed, dust, and precipitation on our equipment.
In the course of the half-year experiment, we found some interesting phenomena, which can also be said to have gained some additional gains. ”
Feng Zhanpeng looked curious and said, "Extra harvest? Tell me!"
"You know, whether it's a solar panel or a mirror reflector, you need to regularly clean up the dust deposited on the surface, and in general, we use a high-pressure water gun to spray off the dust accumulated on the surface, which is very water-saving.
After the dust is removed, the water will drip under the solar panels and mirror reflectors, and they themselves will block the sunlight, so that the water evaporation of the soil below is slow, and the moisture in the soil can be well preserved.
So after a certain period of time, our solar panels and mirror reflector array areas will gradually grow plants, usually some wild grasses.
We were very troubled at first, because the weeds were not cleaned up, and when they grew taller, they would not only block a part of the sunlight, affect the conversion efficiency of solar energy, but also affect our daily maintenance of the equipment, in short, it was very annoying.
In this case, we can only use the lawn mower to manually clean the weeds under the equipment, because of the obstruction of the equipment, it is very difficult to manually use the machine to clean the weeds, and sometimes the weeding machine may cause damage to the equipment if it is not operated properly.
And if you hire someone to do the manual mowing, the amount of manual work required is too great. With more labor, maintenance will be greatly improved.
This situation was not improved until a local herdsman discovered our experimental base and then used our experimental base as a new 'pasture'.
They raise a very docile carnivorous sheep locally, which does not cause any damage to our equipment, which is generally more than two meters high, and effectively controls the growth of weeds. Sheep manure is originally a natural high-quality fertilizer for the field, and the excretion of the sheep improves the fertility of the land.
Then we asked people from Kaishan Agricultural Company to study this phenomenon and try to find a better way to develop experimental base farming. After investigation and testing, the researchers of Kaishan Agricultural Company recommended a forage grass and a matching sheep breed that is very suitable for growing in that environment.
In this way, we have developed an alternative economic channel for raising sheep under solar power generation equipment similar to the understory economy we have here. ”
Feng Zhanpeng was amused and said: "People grow melons and get melons, you are melons that not only grow melons on the melon vine, but also bear a bunch of big peas, which is really interesting." ”
Ma Xiaoyang smiled and handed a tablet to Feng Zhanpeng and opened the photo album to show him.
"You see, this is a picture of our experimental base, which is very small, only a quarter the size of the design site, whether it is the area of the tower molten salt energy storage solar thermal power station where the mirror reflector works or the area where the solar cells and photovoltaic solar panels generate electricity, it is not up to the design size.
But with the scale of the experimental base now, it looks very spectacular, and many locals and people who know the situation have run over to take pictures. Not to mention the effect of waiting for our formal plan equipment to be built. ”
Feng Zhanpeng looked at the photos on the device, on the desolate Gobi Desert with clear sky and blazing sun, a mirror array and a solar panel looked really spectacular, coupled with the desolation of the Gobi and the contrast between the green revealed under the equipment, it made the beauty of science and technology and the magnificence of nature combine appropriately.
What kind of background did Feng Zhanpeng come from, the ice sculpture festival and ice and snow characteristic tourism in Bingcheng were all created by him, and he immediately understood Ma Xiaoyang's intention to show him these photos.
"You still want to do ad hoc tourism?"
Ma Xiaoyang said with a smile: "Not really, but there are already many travel agencies of Gobi Tourism that have set our experimental base as a stop for their tours."
But as you know, these people are just standing on the nearby hill to take pictures and so on, and it is impossible to enter our base, after all, none of our equipment is a sophisticated instrument, and it can't withstand the scourge of these tourists.
We want to cooperate with the local people to create a farmhouse with local specialties nearby, because the soil is slowly fertile, and we can not only raise sheep, but also grow some dwarf vegetables and so on.
Of course, this kind of cooperation is led by the group company of our base, and the local people can only work for us, because we need to have a certain understanding of our equipment and safety knowledge to operate breeding, planting and other projects.
The advantage of this is that it can also bring some popularity and convenience to our base, after all, the scientific researchers and ordinary staff there need to be stationed for a long time, and it is too boring for anyone to stand it.
This is what I said, which can greatly promote local employment and promote the development of the local economy.
This also involves your two questions, the first is whether you can make money, which I really can't guarantee now, through some relevant data and our predictions that we got in North America, we should still be able to make money. If you can't make a profit, the project won't last long, that is, it's experimental, and I can't come to you.
As for the scale, the first phase of our project is expected to build a tower molten salt energy storage solar thermal power station with a diameter of about one kilometer, a photovoltaic solar power station, a comprehensive scientific research base and a staff residential area. The supporting facilities will gradually increase, and it is expected that there will be a breeding base and tourist site.
As for the second phase of the project, it depends on the final effect of the first phase of the project. If the profitability and stable operation of the first phase of the project is not in doubt, then our second phase of the project will be carried out in eligible areas, and the scale is not yet available.
However, only the first phase of our project, in the field of solar power generation should also be regarded as the international leader, especially the diversified development we advocate, which is unique in the world, once the exploration is successful, it will be a great initiative of our country. ”
