Chapter 348: Helicopter in the city
Because he is not a true believe, he rarely participates in the activities of the Sexual Power Sect in normal times, but this time it is said to be a social activity, so it is urgently needed for an elder with rich social experience like him to participate, and those elders in the sect who can only meditate and chant scriptures are not suitable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In addition, Shakru was anxious to get rid of the annoying entertainment of the local government, so he immediately borrowed the slope and flew back to India in a hurry.
When the results arrived, he found out that this was a very painful task, and it was actually the Indian government that found religious leaders of various factions, hoping to promote the promotion of solar energy through the influence of religion to achieve the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.
Due to India's perennial lack of electricity, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (NERE) aims to achieve the goal of "40,000 megawatts of rooftop solar power" by educating religious leaders about the benefits of green energy and calling on them to take the lead in making their ashrams solar-powered.
India's Minister of New and Renewable Energy (NEE) Terry Pasi said: "These religious leaders have a large number of followers at home and abroad, and their followers visit their ashrams in droves. So we think it's ideal for religious leaders to personally demonstrate the value of solar energy to believers around the world. ”
The reason for such a bizarre activity is actually the irrational approach of the Indian government to rush to the doctor because of last year's nationwide blackout. On the last day of July last year, there was a widespread blackout on the power grid in northern India. The next day, the northern part of India has yet to fully recover from the power failure, and the power grid in the east and northeast has been paralyzed, with power outages in nearly half of the country, affecting more than 670 million people. The scale and number of people affected by this outage is unprecedented in the world.
There are many reasons for frequent power outages, starting with infrastructure issues. India's rapid rise has been driven by economic development and rapid growth in India's electricity demand. However, compared with its rapid GDP growth, India's infrastructure development of roads, railways, electricity and other infrastructure is relatively slow. Sixty-six percent of India's installed power generation capacity is thermal power, but its coal reserves are basically distributed in remote areas, and the poor transportation network has increased the difficulty and cost of supplying coal and other fuels, and the capacity of power generation fuel suppliers such as coal companies and natural gas producers cannot meet the demand of power stations, so power companies have to use expensive imported fuels. This has greatly pushed up the input price of power generation and restricted the development of power supply.
Then in terms of transmission and distribution, the old power grid equipment has made the network loss rate of the Indian power grid remain high, with an average network loss rate of more than 30%, and the network loss rate in some states even reaches 45%~55%, which is much higher than the world average network loss rate of 10%~15%. Coupled with the aforementioned phenomenon of connivance and theft of electricity, it is strange that there is no problem with the power supply.
Although Shakru felt that this event was actually a show and would not have much practical effect at all, he could only cooperate with the "performance" in desperation, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would not participate in such political activities in the future.
After finally coping with this show, Shakru collapsed and went to his home to recuperate, not because he was physically tired, but mainly because he was too mentally tortured.
Originally, he didn't want to see anyone in the past few days, but on this day, an American who was barely an acquaintance came to his villa, and this person was none other than the salesman of the plane that Shakru had purchased, Tom of the American Raytheon Company.
However, this time he did not come by himself, but with a thin middle-aged man, Shakru asked in some surprise, "Tom, who is this gentleman?" ”
Tom hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Pandeitt, let me introduce to you, this is my good friend, Jerry, the sales manager of Bell Helicopter, and I want to introduce you to one of their latest products. ”
"Tom, you don't forget that I've bought a private jet from you, do you think I can use two planes by myself?" Shakru said with some displeasure, because in his opinion, Tom is a bit of an inch, I am rich, yes, but the plane is not like a sports car, you can change it without anything.
The little Jerry smiled and explained: "Mr. Pandit, you misunderstood Tom, our Bell company's products and Thor are completely two styles and two directions, can you delay a little time, let me introduce it to you?" ”
Shakru waved his hand and said, "For Tom's sake, tell me about it." ”
Jerry slowly introduced: "Our company's recent focus is not on jets used for long-distance voyages like Thor, but for short-haul helicopters that are mainly used for urban passages......
Before he could finish speaking, Shakru interrupted: "How good it is for me to drive in the city, why do I need to use a helicopter, it is so troublesome." ”
"Helicopters in the city have advantages that sports cars can't match: first, helicopters allow you to avoid traffic jams. As far as I know, the traffic situation in New Delhi has not been very good, all kinds of vehicles are driving in a disorderly manner on the streets, and the personal quality of few drivers is not particularly high, so there are often traffic jams, which will not only delay your precious time, but also affect your mood, and if you take a helicopter in the city, this will definitely not happen. Jerry said sly.
For Jerry said this, Shakru agrees very much, the degree of traffic congestion in Indian cities, especially in big cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, can definitely make a normal person collapse (Chapter 3 briefly introduces a little, interested friends can Baidu it, the degree of chaos is definitely beyond your imagination), especially the "holy cows" that are walking around on the road, it is even more annoying to death, no matter how expensive the sports car you drive, it is useless in this situation, on the contrary, it is easy to be by those "holy cows" and a broken car without a mirror. (In India, the vast majority of ordinary cars do not have mirrors)
Although he was a little moved, Shakru still said expressionlessly: "Well, what about the second point?" ”
ps: Push the book "I have an emperor doppelganger", the author is a chatter and tentacle monster, the amount of daily updates makes me out of reach, the combat power list exploded 120,000 words a few days ago, so the absolute amount is full, welcome to taste.
PS2: These days are the "wind blowing" period, take the opportunity to ask for a subscription, the breakthrough of the average subscription of 2,000 is already in sight, please help! (To be continued.) )
