Chapter 413: The Red Flag Sweeps the West Wind
(88106 .) Rising prices?
What causes it?
Arms race.
Who is responsible for the arms race?
Monsters of the Deep.
Who made the monsters of the deep sea?
Wang Buan.
To put it bluntly, he, Wang Buan, is the culprit.
He is the public enemy of the globe.
If the truth is known to the people of the whole world......
I'm afraid that his body will have to be divided into seven billion parts, and each person will gnaw one to relieve his hatred.
I just don't know, can his body, which is less than 130 pounds, be divided into 7 billion parts? Is it a person and a cell?
"What else is the news?" asked Wang Buan, pretending to be calm.
"You're going to make a lot of money. Lei Laohu said.
"How?"
"The prices of all kinds of high-end raw materials have risen sharply. ”
"Oh. ”
Wang Buan remained silent.
It turned out to be just to make money.
No big deal. Not excited at all.
I don't even have time to spend money, so what do you want so much money for?
Alcohol is strictly forbidden on warships. Not even a drop.
You see around now, there is not even a mother......
No, there are still many dignified and docile ladies in the condolence group.
Forget it, I'll talk about it when I return home.
You've got to kill those little goblins.
"What other money-making projects are there in the Philippines?" Wang Bu'an staggered the topic.
"Geothermal power generation. Bao Guoan said casually.
Wang Buan's eyes lit up slightly.
This project seems to be a bit challenging!
In fact, geothermal power generation is nothing new. In China, there is Yangbajing Power Station and Ruili's Geothermal Power Station.
There are also some geothermal power plants in Europe.
Compared with hydropower plants, the biggest benefit of geothermal development is stability.
The characteristic of hydropower plants is that during the high water season, there is too much electricity to be transmitted, and sometimes it is impossible to send all of them. In the dry season, there is too little electricity to meet the demand.
Geothermal energy is very stable. There are hardly any major ups and downs.
Of course, geothermal power plants have their own drawbacks. That is, the corrosion and scaling problems of the equipment are very serious.
In addition, the low power is also a problem. Thermal energy cannot be fully utilized.
The initial investment is too large, and the payback period is short.
In general, the cost is also relatively high. State subsidies are required.
The general feed-in tariff for hydropower stations is more than three cents or four cents. Yang Bajing needs more than nine cents. The difference in the middle is all state subsidies.
Geothermal power plants in Europe also need state subsidies. Otherwise, it cannot be maintained.
This fully shows that the cost of geothermal power generation is still high.
As long as the cost is reduced, it is still very promising.
There are people who do the business of killing heads, and no one does the business that loses money. This is also the reason why geothermal power plants are difficult to promote.
However, for Wang Buan, it is an opportunity.
How so?
It's a good idea.
In fact, everyone has a lot of ideas in their heads every day.
These ideas may be fanciful, absurd, or unrealistic. However, pips are pips. Maybe it will happen when.
Wang Bu'an has the technological support of Transformers behind him. There is a good chance that these ideas will be implemented.
For example, what is the biggest difficulty in geothermal power plants?
First, there is a lack of thermal energy.
Second, the cost of equipment depreciation is high.
Let's start with the first one.
Why is there a lack of heat?
The most critical area is that the drilling depth is not enough. It is not possible to release all the heat energy.
Generally speaking, the construction of geothermal power plants in places with geothermal energy is often done by drilling vertically. The drilling depth is about three or four hundred meters. The temperature of the hot water released is about 300 degrees.
Currently, the country with the most developed geothermal power plants in the world is Iceland. The maximum drilling depth is 5,000 meters. Release steam 900 degrees.
However, this is far from the limit of geothermal energy. It can be said that it is less than one in 10,000.
If it can be dug to a depth of 50,000 meters, the steam released will reach more than 1,600 degrees Celsius.
If it's a little deeper, 3000 degrees, 4000 degrees are possible.
Unfortunately, current drilling techniques are not up to par.
The hardness of the drill bit is not enough.
The degree of mechanical high temperature resistance is not enough.
At a depth of 5,000 meters, the temperature has exceeded 1,000 degrees. It has a strong fatigue effect on metals.
Even the hardest drill bits, under the action of 1000 degrees of high temperatures, do not last long. The same is true for other mechanical devices. The cost is too high. Seriously not cost-effective.
Is there a way for Wang Buan to solve this problem?
Yes.
5000 meters is nothing at all.
The machines in the industrial park can go directly into the mantle to extract elements.
If the heat energy is drained from the mantle and turned into electricity, I am afraid that there will not be much in this world. The temperature is estimated to be above 5,000 degrees.
To build a geothermal power plant, only a small area is needed on the ground. It can be built anytime, anywhere.
The key is drilling underground. There is also the guidance and convergence of heat energy.
Geothermal energy is endless.
Don't worry about problems with the Forge of the Earth.
At least, in the next 100,000 years, there will certainly be no problems with the Earth.
In 100,000 years, humanity will surely enter the Milky Way. It doesn't matter whether the Earth exists or not.
Obviously, hydrogen storage alloys cannot replace all energy sources.
The production capacity of the Panshi series engine is also limited.
A geothermal power station can easily surpass the Three Gorges in terms of power generation.
That's right, it's so good.
Think about how terrifying the energy comes when a volcano erupts.
If it's converted into electricity, then what's the point?
The annual power generation capacity of the Three Gorges is 100 billion kWh.
And the energy of a volcanic eruption is definitely more than 100 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
It can be seen that the earth's energy is definitely not exhausted.
There's no oil, there's a lot of energy.
The second problem is the loss of machinery and equipment.
The construction of a geothermal power plant requires very special machinery. It should be resistant to high temperatures and corrosion. Combines the characteristics of a high-temperature boiler and a generator.
At present, geothermal power stations directly direct underground water flow, or air flow, to directly drive the generator.
There is no doubt that there are a lot of impurities in the water or air flow.
Some impurities are very damaging to machinery and equipment.
For example, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and the like.
These things, in just two or three years, can scrap a generator.
The life of a hydraulic turbine is often more than 30 years. Some can even be more than a hundred years old. The cost of depreciation is completely different.
Moreover, geothermal generators are purpose-built. The yield is small. There is no scale. Manufacturing costs cannot be amortized by themselves. The selling price is high. The lifespan is short. In the end, it is amortized to more than three cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity, and the mechanical cost alone is more than three cents. That is certainly not comparable to thermal power, hydropower, and nuclear power. Congenital insufficiency!
Is there a way for Wang Buan to solve this problem?
Yes.
He has the technology.
There are raw materials.
High temperatures are not a problem.
Corrosion resistance is also not an issue.
Machine cost is also not an issue. It's all made by yourself anyway.
The key point is that if he wants to get involved in geothermal power generation, the installed capacity of a single geothermal power station will definitely be several times larger than that of the Three Gorges! Otherwise, there will be no need to build it at all.
If you want to do it, you have to make it big.
In the places where electricity is most scarce, build the largest geothermal power station.
Where is the most scarce electricity in China?
The eastern region, of course.
Especially in coastal areas, electricity supply is never sufficient.
As a result, in some areas, at some times, it is necessary to restrict industrial electricity consumption. This has greatly hindered industrial development. Efforts must be made to eliminate this bottleneck.
Three cents a kilowatt-hour of electricity.
200 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year.
That's 60 billion yuan a year.
I've done it!
It's a pity that there was no time.
I don't know when it will start.
"Chief Engineer Wang, come here!" Gan Haoyan greeted loudly, "What are you doing hiding here?"
"Let's go over. Wang Buan nodded and walked over quickly.
The atmosphere is still very harmonious.
The children had a great time on the warship.
All kinds of weapons are completely open to them.
In fact, this kind of reception task makes Guan Hongru and Gan Haoyan a little unaccustomed.
You must know that the Jianzhou ship is definitely not a star ship. It has hardly visited any country or region.
More often than not, the Jianzhou ship was used as a training ship.
For example, the previous naval officers such as Xu Ban, Lin Chengji, and Fan Qixiang all went to the Xinye destroyer after leaving the Jianzhou ship.
Now, for more special reasons, this ancient training ship has taken on the role of a star ship, and it is also drunk.
There are also Qinzhou ships and Weizhou ships that have the same experience.
According to the military order, the Qinzhou ship will be stationed in Suligao, and the Weizhou ship will be stationed in Zamboanga, which will also provide electricity and fresh water for these two ports.
The difference is that both warships temporarily docked in Zhancheng, adding a group of officers with diplomatic experience.
The Jianzhou ship can only rely on its own ability to solve it.
Of course, Zou Quan is also there. He will do his best to mediate.
After the condolences, it was naturally a big dinner party.
A simple meal, a lot of fun.
Compared with the devastation outside, the Jianzhou ship is very warm.
Wang Buan himself was deeply infected.
For the rest of his life, he was able to get the aid of the warships of the motherland.
In any case, it should be a sense of relief or pride.
It's a pity that there is only one Jianzhou ship. If yes, there are more warships coming. This is a good opportunity to fully expand the influence of Huaxia.
"You feel relieved inside. ”
"You gain 20,000,000 Faith. ”
"You gain 19,000,000 Faith. ”
"You gain 18 million Faith Points. ”
……
What a weird operation.
There is even a series of equal differences.
How much is this?
Almost 200 million faith points again?
Is this considered wholesale?
Transformers have changed their sex!
"For the first time, I felt that you were happy from the bottom of my heart. Gives you a little reward. The sound of the shockwave was heard.
"The first time? Wang Buyan subconsciously shook his head.
How could it be the first time?
There used to be times when I was happy. At least the boat play......
"That's how I feel. "There is no explanation for the shock wave. Then it fell silent.
"Really?" Wang Buyan frowned secretly.
Could it be that he was too small in the past?
Pure physical pleasure is not really happiness at all?
There is only pleasure from the heart......
He was indeed very happy to see the warships of the motherland rampaging through the seven continents and four oceans.
Oh, no...... It's not a rampant.
It is a brave mission to maintain world peace......
We are peace-loving!
We are peacemakers!
Now, the world is diverse.
The old Maozi has declined.
The EU is also overwhelmed.
It is a good time for the red flag to sweep the west wind and the red flag to be picturesque!88106 .
