Chapter 255: The spaceship is complete
Two days later, Zhang Wei walked out of the scientific research building with two robotic bodyguards equipped with weapons, drove a bulletproof flying car, and went to the capital to attend a food strategy meeting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After arriving, a staff member immediately greeted him and led him to the meeting site, along the way, almost everyone took the initiative to greet him, and they were all smiling, and he also responded enthusiastically, although he didn't know anyone!
After coming to the meeting, Zhang Wei is still the protagonist of the stars holding the moon, and he is a well-deserved focus figure. There's no way, Zhang Wei now has such a big influence in China, he can't keep a low profile!
It didn't take long for the meeting to officially begin, and the participating experts offered suggestions and ideas, and various solutions emerged one after another.
Some experts said that it is necessary to use the country's current influence to carry out food diplomacy and ensure the supply of the world's major food countries.
Some experts said that it is necessary to study higher-yielding crops, and at the same time, intensify research and development in chemical fertilizers and other production factors to ensure a steady increase in grain output per mu.
Some experts said that it is necessary to intensify efforts to buy farmland overseas, grow grain overseas, and then ship it back to China.
Some experts say that the current space technology is developed enough, and it is completely possible to install countless huge mirrors with strong reflective ability in space to reflect the sunlight in space back to the earth and prolong the light time of crops. Plants produce nutrients through photosynthesis, and transport nutrients to the top of the plant, prolonging the light time, you can increase the photosynthesis of the plant, and increase the yield. And these mirrors installed in space have many uses, such as keeping the city in 24-hour light to create a real city that never sleeps, reflecting enough light to the cold north, making the north a cool autumn or hot summer, and even used as a weapon, countless mirrors reflect the sun's rays at the same time ~ to a certain city of the enemy country, you can make the city bear the power of nine or even eighteen suns at the same time, this is definitely a strategic weapon.
……
Zhang Wei felt speechless, everyone took into account almost all the plans that could be considered, and the plan he was about to propose was also told by everyone in advance, so that he had no plan to mention.
Thankfully, he still has something to do, as he also has a consultant in this meeting, who is responsible for assessing the technical feasibility of each option and scoring it. For the evaluation he gave, the chief and others attach great importance to it, because he is the first person in the scientific community who deserves it!
The meeting lasted two days, and finally a huge food strategy was formulated, and a number of measures such as food diplomacy, overseas agricultural land purchases were carried out in parallel, and the seawater transfer project was also confirmed to be fully implemented. As for installing mirrors in space, this brain-bending plan has been shelved for the time being.
That night, "News Network" reported on the matter in detail, which immediately caused a heated discussion.
"This food strategy is very necessary, since the beginning of this year, the global natural disasters are frequent, there will inevitably be a food crisis, and some experts have analyzed, this situation may become the norm in the future, affected by this, food prices will definitely continue to rise, we must prepare as soon as possible. ”
"It is true that we must pay attention to the food problem, people can not play dark blue 1 for a month, but they can't go a day without eating, our country has such a population, once there is a food crisis, even if you can buy food from abroad, it must be sky-high, you must not overestimate the conscience of the capitalists. A few years ago, even garlic and salt could be fried n times, a bowl of instant noodles could be fried to 50 when there was a traffic jam on the highway, the production cycle of grain was so long, and there was no substitute, once there was a large-scale shortage, it was about to starve to death, two hundred yuan a pound of rice, do you buy it or not?"
"During the Spring and Autumn Period, the prime minister of Qi ordered the people to wear silk, and spent a lot of money to buy from the silk-producing Lu and Liang countries, raising prices, so that the people of Lu and Liang would change to planting mulberry and silkworms. After that, the state of Qi banned the wearing of silk on the one hand, and the sale of grain on the other. Soon after, there were countless hungry people in the two countries, and Lu Liang was attached to the Qi State and perished, and the Qi State did not use swords and soldiers to gain the land. This is what history has warned us that we must pay attention to the food issue. ”
"Wasn't the project of transferring seawater to the west proposed a long time ago, and then it was considered unfeasible? Why is it reliable that it has been proposed again now, and that it has been fully implemented?"
"It is undeniable that if the seawater diversion project is successful, it will bring unimaginable returns to our country. In Xinjiang, for example, Xinjiang's 1.66 million square kilometers of land is less than 4.2% of the total area of plain oases suitable for human survival.
However, from a rational point of view, the project of diverting seawater to the west does not seem to be very reliable, and it is still desalination of seawater before introducing it to the northwest and north China, and the cost is too high! If we want to achieve the goal of 'controlling China's deserts and sandstorms and completely changing the poor ecological environment in North and Northwest China,' we will need at least 49.6 billion cubic meters of seawater inflow according to Xinjiang's average annual precipitation of 155 millimeters and evaporation (50 percent optimistically estimated). It will take about 6.4 kilowatt-hours of electricity to raise the Bohai Sea to an altitude of 1,280 meters, and the total electricity consumption will reach 100 million kilowatt-hours, which is equivalent to four times the power generation of 80.8 billion kilowatt-hours of the Three Gorges Project in 2008.
In addition, it is necessary to calculate the cost of seawater desalination, the current mainstream seawater desalination technology is mainly reverse osmosis, multi-stage flash evaporation and low-temperature multi-effect, among which the reverse osmosis operation cost is the lowest, generally about 4 degrees of electricity per ton of water, plus the chemical cost is about 0.5 yuan/ton of fresh water (related to the pretreatment process), and the direct operating cost is these two. The electricity fee adopts the industrial electricity price, which is about 1.0 yuan/kWh for peak electricity, about 0.5 yuan/kWh for valley electricity, 0.7 yuan/kWh for average electricity price, and about 3.3 yuan per ton of water. If you consider the costs of labor, maintenance, reverse osmosis membrane replacement, etc., the operating cost (excluding depreciation) is generally 4~5 yuan/ton of fresh water.
All in all, the amount of work is too large, the cost is too high, and with the current level of science and technology, it is simply a science fiction theme!"
"Anti-gravity flying cars have appeared, intelligent robots have appeared, our country is about to land on the moon, these are all science fiction, the westward transfer of sea water is nothing at all, I think it is worth trying! Maybe the country has mastered the technology we don't know about, and can reduce costs on a large scale?"
Regardless of the reaction of the outside world, the food strategy was soon launched, and the westward diversion project was officially started, and at the same time, major water-scarce coastal cities also started to build a large number of desalination plants, and the whole country became a huge construction site.
And while these construction works are in full swing, the first spacecraft of Future Technology is officially completed! )
