Chapter 138: Water Supply Begins
"Uncle Prime Minister, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to inspect the desalination plant. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: "Zhang Zhi stepped forward to say hello to the prime minister.
The prime minister smiled and said: "The desalination plant, which completely solves the problem of the lack of fresh water resources in the country, such a major project, of course, I have to come to see it myself." Who is the expert who developed the desalination technology? β
The prime minister looked at the crowd with Zhang Zhilai and asked Zhang Zhi.
Zhang Zhi introduced Zhao Zhiyong to the prime minister and said: "This is the scientist who developed the active reverse osmosis desalination membrane, Mr. Zhao Zhiyong. β
"What a young scientist. The prime minister shook hands with Zhao Zhiyong and praised him.
Zhao Zhiyong said excitedly: "Thanks to the cultivation of the country and the stage provided by Xingyu Technology, I can develop this technology." β
After the prime minister greeted everyone one by one.
Zhang Zhi talked with the prime minister, and the prime minister was very happy with Xingyu Technology's research on the sand shuttle. He asked Zhang Zhi again about the progress of the Water Bean Project.
Zhang Zhi pulled Li Lingqiu over. He introduced to the prime minister: "This is my fiancΓ©e Li Lingqiu, she has been in charge of the bioengineering of our Xingyu Technology, and she has presided over the research and development of Sasuo and chickenpox. β
The prime minister looked at Li Lingqiu kindly, and said approvingly: "You are the granddaughter of Chairman Qu's family, you are really a heroine, and your research project has extremely high strategic value and has promoted the development of the country." β
Li Lingqiu's face was ruddy, he smiled, and said: "Thank you Uncle Prime Minister for your compliment, it is the result of the joint efforts of our researchers of Xingyu Technology, and the Water Bean Project is now close to completion." We have found rice plants of high value and are testing its safety. As a staple food, it must not be a safety hazard. β
The prime minister nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and the staple food should pay attention to safety.
At this time, the Prime Minister's secretary reminded that the press conference for the water supply ceremony had been arranged.
The Prime Minister ended his small talk with them. The prime minister and Zhang Zhi rushed to the conference hall of the factory.
The conference hall of the desalination plant is not large, but a small press conference is sufficient.
The staff has already arranged the scene of the press conference, the prime minister is sitting in the main seat of the press conference, and Zhang Zhi is sitting next to him.
Staff began arranging for other media reporters to enter the chamber. In addition to the privileges of CCTV. Other media reporters were waiting outside.
After arranging reporters, the media of various countries began to broadcast live, and the general control room of the desalination plant turned on the light curtain camera function. Live broadcast the situation in the conference hall to the visitors outside.
Qu Xiaoyan began to preside over the press conference of the water supply ceremony of the desalination plant.
"I would now like to invite the Prime Minister to make an opening remarks at the press conference on the water supply for the desalination plant. β
The Prime Minister sits upright, numerous cameras. Off-script impromptu speeches.
"Water is a basic need for life and health, and while 71% of the planet is covered by water, freshwater resources are extremely limited. Of the total water resources, 97.47% is undrinkable brackish water. Of the remaining 2.53 per cent of fresh water, 87 per cent is ice and snow from polar ice sheets, mountain glaciers and permafrost that are difficult for humans to use. What humans can really use is rivers, lakes and groundwater, which account for only 0.26% of the earth's total water. β
The prime minister paused, then continued.
"China's water resources are not abundant, with a total of about 2.7 trillion cubic meters, and the amount of freshwater resources available for development and utilization is 1-1.1 trillion cubic meters, ranking sixth in the world. On a per capita basis, it is about 1/4 of the world's per capita water. Ranked 109th in the world. β
"China is a large country with severe water shortage, ranking among more than 40 countries with severe water shortage. Moreover, the spatial and temporal distribution of China's water resources is uneven, in the south, which accounts for about 54% of the population, water resources account for 81%, and about 70% of the rain is concentrated in summer and autumn, mostly in the form of heavy rainfall. β
Finally, the prime minister said excitedly: "China's per capita water consumption is only 900 cubic meters per year, which is far lower than the world average, and China lacks 10 billion cubic meters of water resources every year. β
"The role of scientific and technological power is endless, Zhao Zhiyong scientist of Xingyu Technology, he has developed an efficient and cheap seawater desalination program, now each seawater desalination plant, can provide 1 billion cubic meters of fresh water per year, only ten seawater desalination plants, can meet the lack of water resources in China. Seawater resources are almost endless, and we in China have since gotten rid of the problem of lack of water resources. β
Qu Xiaoyan saw that the prime minister had finished speaking, and she continued: "We Xingyu Technology have reached an agreement with Beida Water Supply Company to the seawater desalination plant, and our factory will exclusively provide fresh water resources to Beida Water Supply Company. β
"Now I have to invite Guo Daliang, chairman of Beida Company, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the controlling party of Beida Company, and Zhang Zhi, chairman of Xingyu Technology, to hold a signing ceremony. β
The specific contract, Qu Xiaoyan and them have already discussed. Zhang Zhi just went through the motions.
Under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Zhi signed the contract. Guo Daliang and the representatives of the SASAC also signed the contract, and they exchanged contracts separately. After they signed the contract, the audience burst into fierce applause.
Qu Xiaoyan smiled and said to everyone: "Now the last item of the press conference is to ask the prime minister to open the water supply gate switch and start supplying water to the tap water network. β
When the Prime Minister heard this, he got up and went to the center of the meeting, where a cylindrical pillar stood. It has a light blue droplet-shaped switch. This is the start switch of the water supply gate of the desalination plant.
With a smiling expression on his face, the Prime Minister gently pressed the teardrop-shaped switch. Time freezes in this moment. From this moment on, Huaxia will get rid of the shortage of freshwater resources and will not worry about water resources from now on.
After the prime minister turned on the switch, he did not return to his seat. Walk to the faucet next to the conference hall. He turned on this faucet himself.
After a few clicks of air rubbing. Drain the air from the water pipes. Clear and transparent water flows from the tap.
The prime minister picked up the water cup next to the faucet, took half a glass of water, and drank it in one gulp, leaving not a drop left.
The Prime Minister smiled at the camera and said, "Sweet and delicious, absolutely safe." β
When Zhang Zhi saw this, he admired the wisdom of the prime minister very much. He did this to reassure people that the water provided by the desalination plant was clean and safe.
Zhang Zhi took the lead in applauding, followed by thunderous applause and cheers at the scene, and some reporters took pictures of this precious moment.
Qu Xiaoyan watched the prime minister move, and she enlarged the documents in her hand through the light curtain device. With a smile on his face, he said: "Thank you Prime Minister for tasting the first glass of water in the desalination plant, the water provided by our desalination plant is absolutely safe, which is the domestic authoritative testing agency, and the international third-party authoritative testing agency provides proof of water safety." β
"Our water is absolutely safe to drink, and now I announce that the launching ceremony of the water supply of the desalination plant has come to a perfect conclusion, and every guest and visitor, we will give a bottle of pure water from the desalination plant. β
After Qu Xiaoyan finished speaking, reporters from all over the world slowly withdrew. The Prime Minister's affairs are still busy. After he greeted Zhang Zhi, he said goodbye and left.
