"The space photovoltaic algae power station covers an area of more than 400 square kilometers. Meet the last step of the 'New Energy Future' activation conditions, stimulate new reward tasks, and 'New Energy Future' step 5. ”

"Bonus Mission: The Future of New Energy. Serial quests. Step 5: Stellar Energy. Making full use of the stellar energy of the galaxy in which it is located is the only way for a second-level civilization, and the host is requested to build a solar power plant with an installed power of more than 10,000 terawatts within five years. Success Reward: Random items. Failure Penalty: None. ”

10,000 terawatts?!!!

"Ahem!" Jiang Yuan almost didn't come up in one breath, choking himself to death.

Terawatts are a huge unit, one terawatt is equivalent to 1 trillion watts.

What is 10,000 terawatts of order of magnitude?

The total global electricity production in 2022 will be about 30,000 terawatt hours, and 10,000 terawatts of power generation power is equivalent to the recent solar power plant only needs to work for three hours to produce a year's electricity consumption in the world.

3 hours!

Jiang Yuan felt dizzy when he saw this number.

If this solar power plant is produced 7X24, it could produce 2,920 times the total global electricity production in 2022 in a year!

Not strictly speaking, the recent one-year work of solar power stations is enough for the world to use for 3,000 years!

What does this mean?

Jiang Yuan slowly calmed down, sat down and began to think about the difficulty of implementation.

To be sure, the 10,000 terawatt target is very difficult to achieve.

Not only is it a huge test of China's national strength, but its economic interests will also produce great resistance.

According to the previous calculations of the vacuum photoelectric algae power station, the current power can be reached at a distance of 0.7 water days.

In other words, with the limit of 500 square kilometers of vacuum photoelectric algae, a space power station can reach 7TW of power generation.

10,000 terawatts require more than 1,400 space photovoltaic algae power stations!

So many power stations must be launched slowly, and it is impossible to build them overnight.

This leads to the problem that with the increasing number of space power plants in recent days, electricity prices will inevitably plummet, and too low electricity prices will have the opposite effect of continuing to expand solar capacity.

Because the cost of manufacturing the space radio station in recent days may gradually exceed the benefits brought by the reduction of electricity prices.

There must be a threshold here, and after the threshold is exceeded, the construction of a near-day space power station will cause economic losses and increase resistance.

Unless they can find another application that consumes extremely electricity, so that Huaguo can move forward.

Jiang Yuan scratched his chin and carefully considered the pros and cons of this reward task.

First of all, the existing energy industry on the planet will be completely in ruins, and oil, gas, wind, tidal, geothermal, and nuclear energy will all be destroyed.

In the future, the status of oil will be reduced to chemical raw materials, and it will no longer be the most important strategic resource.

What does this lead to?

The relationship between the energy giant and itself is irreconcilable!

In other words, Shensi Group should deploy a plan to crack down on international energy giants as soon as possible to avoid a big counterattack in the future.

At the same time, the eagle nation will inevitably weaken, and the dollar will definitely plummet.

The Middle East will once again become a worthless desert, and the likes of Dubai, which is still rich and extravagant, will inevitably become a short-lived bubble in history.

Second, the food problem is ultimately a problem of energy, and the abundant electricity can produce cheap food, and hunger will forever become a historical term.

In addition, the near-infinite amount of electricity will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in the price of electricity, or even free of charge, which will lead to human beings turning all tools into electric power.

Electric Vehicles, Electric High-speed Rail, Electric Aircraft, Electric Ships, Electric Chemical Industry, Electric Metallurgy

However, almost unlimited electrical energy is by no means unlimited, and Jiang Yuan has a clear understanding of this.

Stimulated by such abundant energy, human beings will inevitably come up with some more waste-free technologies to consume all this electricity.

It's like the computer industry.

Every time chip manufacturers make faster CPUs and memory manufacturers make larger memory, software developers develop software that consumes more CPU and memory.

The most typical is the graphics card.

Graphics card manufacturers are desperately demanding faster GPUs and larger video memory, desperately squeezing the performance of graphics cards, from 2D to 3D to VR/AR and finally becoming real rendering in the second world.

The winner is NVIDIA, which has a near monopoly on the graphics card industry and has huge profits.

The loser becomes history, and at most it is an ATI who survives and sells himself to survive.

Similarly, when electricity is abundant, new tools that are more expensive will be produced, and manufacturers who cannot produce new tools will be quickly eliminated.

For example, the use of space for long-distance power transmission, combined with countless power transfer stations on the ground to receive power, can keep city roads brightly lit and eliminate the danger of driving at night.

Another example is the manufacture of city-level central air conditioning to control the temperature of the entire city to ensure that the winter is as warm as spring and the summer is cool and comfortable.

New and more power-intensive tools will in turn force the energy industry to provide more abundant electricity.

Countries that cannot meet the massive energy supply will either sign an electricity import treaty with China, attaching a bunch of unequal conditions to obtain enough electricity.

Either they struggled to support and tried to develop their own recent optoelectronic technology, and then in the long process of research and development, they were crushed by China with an absolute advantage, and finally eliminated by history.

This is the place to take advantage of it!

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up.

Although they are all solar energy, but in recent days, solar energy and photovoltaic industry are fundamentally two technologies, and solar energy can be regarded as a new energy source!

Oil is a major pillar of the Eagle Kingdom's economic hegemony petrodollar, and solar energy is the next generation of new energy to completely replace oil, so it is reasonable for China to learn from the example and establish a set of Huayuan system based on solar energy in recent days!

The Eagle State's monopoly on oil is the result of the dual role of military and technology.

The world after World War II was a world of sea power, and the Eagle Nation relied on its invincible aircraft carrier fleet to crisscross the seas and become the de facto ruler of the earth.

As a result, the Eagle State used various means to gain profound influence over the major oil-producing countries, thus establishing the foundation of the petrodollar.

At the same time, the Eagle Nation has not forgotten to continue to develop energy extraction technology, and the shale oil and gas revolution is the biggest technological breakthrough.

As early as 2014, Eagle Nation mastered the technology to economically exploit shale oil and gas, which was a big blow to the existing major oil producers, but instead consolidated Eagle Country's dollar dominance.

Previously, the marine photovoltaic algae developed by Jiang Yuan was only an improvement of the photovoltaic industry, and could not solve the two inherent problems of unstable solar power generation efficiency and inability to store large quantities as strategic reserves.

So the impact on the oil energy system is not fatal.

This time it was different, the space power station solved the power generation efficiency, which led to the oil industry being hit hard.

The extent of its setback can be seen from the oil giants' deep hatred for Jiang Yuan, and their desperate efforts to advocate the Eagle State to exert force pressure on China.

If the solar power plant required by the reward mission is realized, then the problem of not being able to store large quantities is solved - if the power generation is large enough, there is no need to store it at all!

Moreover, Huaguo also has sea red ore that can make sufficient energy crystal batteries.

Thinking about it this way, the establishment of the Huayuan system based on solar energy is far more stable than the petrodollar system.

The petrodollar relies on the absolute sea power of the Eagle Country, while the solar Huayuan relies on a series of future technologies that far exceed the Eagle State's R&D capabilities, such as ultra-long-distance wireless power transmission, vacuum photoelectric algae, and anti-gravity engine.

Jiang Yuan is confident that at least for 20 years, there will be absolutely no country that will be able to reproduce these technologies.

And twenty years is enough time for a superpower to completely fall into the dust!
