Chapter 468 Desert Water Replenishment Plan

Cao Wei is really convinced of his godson, who always has some incredible ideas! If nothing else, just this idea, listen, this guy is going to hydrate the desert!

That's the desert! How old do you have to make it up to keep it from leaking? The sand can't hold water in the first place, and the groundwater in the desert is drier and less watery than other terrains, so it is estimated that even if there is groundwater, it will be deeper than ordinary areas.

It is necessary to replenish the water so that you can see the water in the desert and keep it all the time, except for the springs in those oases, I have never heard of anything else.

Those big oil countries in the Middle East, they have money, right? But most of the Middle East is desert! Have you seen people renovate deserts with hydration?

Isn't that reliable? So people are so rich and don't do this, you kid thinks that if you have two dollars, you can do whatever you want? However, if this matter is left to his godson, it may not be possible.

After going through so many things, Cao Wei has already seen it. As long as Wang Yong is determined to do something, the final result will definitely be not much different from his own prediction, and there is nothing to achieve his goal.

Although he has begun to lean in his heart that Wang Yong's idea can be realized, there is one biggest problem that Cao Wei did not speak, and he still wants to hear what Wang Yong himself has to say.

"I'll tell you, I've thought about this hydration. First of all, we need to build a large-scale desalination plant, which can not only extract desalinated water that can be directly used by humans, but also freeze the desalinated water into ice and transport it to the desert. ”

Cao Wei was stupid!

Can you brat blow a little bigger? Do you know how expensive desalination is? It's also frozen into ice cubes and transported over, so what do you use to transport it? A car, a train, or an airplane?

For seawater desalination, although Cao Wei has not done much research, he still knows a little bit. He knows that although the current cost of seawater desalination has been reduced to about the same as tap water, Wang Yong wants to replenish the desalination water into the desert?

How many tons of water do you have to pour in to see the effect? How much does it have to be converted into money?

He thinks that this kid doesn't know about desalination at all? Come to think of it. Immediately, he began to dig out all the things he knew about daring to desalination.

The process of removing the salt in seawater to obtain fresh water is called seawater desalination, also known as seawater desalination. The methods of seawater desalination are basically divided into two categories:

(1) Fresh water is taken from seawater, including evaporation method, reverse osmosis method, hydrate method, solvent extraction method and freezing method.

(2) To remove the salt in seawater, there are electro-infiltration and dismantling methods, ion exchange methods and pressure osmosis methods. At present, the first type of method is mainly applied.

As early as more than 250 years ago, Queen Elizabeth of England offered a reward of 10,000 pounds for an economical desalination method, but it was not until the fifties of the twentieth century, with the scarcity of water resources, that human beings really began to use desalination to replenish the fresh water consumed.

At present, there are more than a dozen different countries in the world that are conducting research on seawater desalination, and a variety of seawater desalination facilities of different structures and different capacities are working.

And in modern technical conditions. A large desalination plant can produce thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of tons of fresh water per day.

Especially in the Middle East, which is plagued by drought and water shortage, because it is generally rich in resources, it can have a lot of financial resources and needs for large-scale desalination research and construction, and most of the world's desalinated seawater comes from here.

For example, Kuwait has 32 multi-stage flash distillation method, and its seawater desalination level is world-class. Saudi Arabia, which also belongs to the Gulf region, is currently the largest producer of desalinated seawater, accounting for more than one-fifth of the world's total production.

There are more than 13,000 desalination plants in the world. As an alternative and incremental technology for freshwater resources, seawater desalination has attracted more and more attention from many coastal countries in the world. The total amount of seawater directly used as industrial cooling water in the world is about 600 billion cubic meters per year, replacing a large number of valuable freshwater resources; Every year, the world extracts 50 million tons of salt, more than 2.6 million tons of magnesium and magnesium oxide, and 200,000 tons of bromine from the ocean.

Desalination requires a lot of energy, so it is not very economical in a country that is not rich. Saudi Arabia's desalination plants account for 24% of the world's desalination capacity.

The second phase of the Jebel Ali desalination plant in the United Arab Emirates is the world's largest desalination plant, producing 300 million cubic meters of fresh water per year.

As far as the needs of our country are concerned. Although the total amount of water resources is a lot, but the per capita is only 2,100 cubic meters, less than a quarter of the world average, and the United Nations has long listed China as one of the 13 most water-scarce countries in the world.

As the vast coastal area with the fastest and best economic development in China. It is also the most water-deficient area in China. According to statistics, most of the per capita water resources of China's coastal industrial cities are less than 500 cubic meters, which is an extreme water shortage.

Like Amami City, which is a municipality directly under the central government. Less than 200 cubic metres of fresh water per capita is available. Therefore, desalination has become an inevitable choice.

At present, China's seawater desalination capacity is about 600,000 tons per day, and the cost is only 4 to 5 yuan per ton, and the highest is not more than 10 yuan. Therefore, whether in terms of national policy or economic feasibility, desalination will be popular in the near future.

The development and industrial application of seawater desalination technology has a history of half a century, during which industrial technologies with multi-stage flash evaporation, reverse osmosis and multi-effect evaporation as the main representatives have been formed.

Experts generally believe that in the next 30 to 40 years, these three technologies will still be the "leading role" in industrial applications, but the proportion of reverse osmosis will be increasing.

Regionally, the Gulf countries in the Middle East will still take multi-stage flash evaporation as the first choice, because it has the advantages of large-scale and super-large-scale (the water yield of a single equipment is currently as high as 4~50,000 tons of fresh water per day), adaptation to heavily polluted bay water, and low pretreatment costs.

However, outside of the Middle East, reverse osmosis membrane method will be preferred because of the advantages of reverse osmosis membrane method in terms of energy consumption and cost, and in North America, for example, recent industrial developments have shown that membrane methods will be dominant in desalination and water treatment.

In general, the biggest cost of desalination operation is the cost of electricity. Taking the reverse osmosis method with the lowest operating cost as an example, it takes about four kilowatt-hours of electricity to produce one ton of desalinated water, and about one kilowatt-hour of electricity is about 0.6 yuan for industrial electricity (the electricity price is different during peak hours and at night), so it needs about three yuan for telephone bills.

Plus the chemicals required, about 0.5 to 1 yuan per ton. As well as labor, maintenance and other costs, together together, the production of a ton of desalinated water will cost about four to six yuan.

But the last thing Wang Yong has to worry about is the electricity bill, because he has his own killer weapon - nuclear fusion generator.

In order to realize his great dream of transforming the desert, Wang Yongtong has ordered three medium-sized nuclear fusion generator sets with a daily power generation capacity of 1.2 billion kWh, which is almost three times the daily power generation of the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project!

With this big killer, seawater desalination has almost no cost to Wang Yong. He can confidently and boldly introduce desalinated seawater wherever he wants. The biggest cost is the water diversion project.

However, Wang Yong also took this into account, such a huge project may be difficult to complete even if he has money. This involves land acquisition. There are many problems such as demolition, maintenance, and employment, which are not solved by any one person at all.

Therefore, Wang Yong came up with a more trouble-saving and labor-saving method, that is, to freeze the desalinated water into ice cubes and then transport it to the desert through the large interstellar transport ship of the Guò Longfu Base unknowingly, and choose a place to airdrop it.

Based on the calculation that the largest transport ship in the Longnu base can easily carry 300,000 tons of cargo, considering the volume, it can quickly transport tens of thousands of cubic meters of ice to the designated desert area at a time.

At the speed of a transport ship, even in the great desert in the northwest, the farthest from the port city. It can also be airdropped ten times or eight times in one night, creating a huge body of water of hundreds of thousands of cubic meters in the desert.

Of course, because the desert has almost no water retention, most of this water will seep and drain away.

Anyway, some should be preserved. Then work for a few nights in a row, or send a few small transport ships to transport together, and it should be no problem to gather a desert lake overnight.

Once Wang Yong has made a decision, then he will definitely not hit the south wall and will not look back. Even if it really hits the south wall, it will also break the wall, and it will be willing to see what is outside the wall.

After making up his mind, he first called a few bigwigs in the country. Explain to them their ideas, possible problems, and what needs to be done by the state.

As a result, several bigwigs also confused him with his wild ideas. If it were an ordinary person who came up with this idea. It must be a reprimand, and then directly squatting in the blacklist.

But Wang Yong is not an ordinary person, this is the consensus of everyone in the world. If you look at it from another angle, Wang Yong's idea is really successful! So what kind of changes will it bring to Huaxia?

Thinking of the huge benefits brought by the success of this plan, several bigwigs did not dare to be careless, and kept asking Wang Yong questions about their concerns, and then quickly agreed that Wang Yong would build a desalination plant in Hong Kong City first.

Three days later, the central government's notice was quickly issued to Hong Kong City, and the mayor of Hong Kong City immediately contacted Wang Yong to discuss a series of matters related to land acquisition.

However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Yong's answer to him turned out to be that there was no need to requisition land! We will not recruit any workers in the city without using any land in the city.

Because this large-scale desalination plant, which will be built with a single unit with a daily output of 1.5 million tons of desalination water, will be built entirely in the offshore ocean and will not occupy any land.

This is also not true, in order to supply water to the port city and hide people's eyes, the desalination plant located on the seaside of the port city will build a large water pipeline with a diameter of 1.5 meters, and the pipeline will inevitably occupy part of the port city's land.

In the end, Wang Yong and the mayor of Hong Kong City reached an agreement that Wang Yong would supply water to the city alone, and the city would be responsible for building a large pumping station and water channel, and then be responsible for the fate of the desalinated seawater.

In layman's terms, Wang Yong is responsible for production, and Hong Kong City is responsible for selling water! (To be continued......)
