Chapter 208, Big Profit
"I said that this project will definitely make money, but I have made strict calculations in advance~"
Wang Songling smiled, and seemed to be moved by Lu Qingwei's proposal.
"Let's listen to it~"
When Lu Qingwei heard this, he immediately became interested, and he is now very interested in money-making projects.
"There are generally two kinds of solar power generation technologies we use now, one is crystalline silicon materials, there are two kinds of monocrystalline silicon and polysilicon, and the other is amorphous silicon power generation, that is, it is not crystalline silicon, there are thin-film solar energy, flexible solar power generation."
"Crystalline silicon solar panels are basically useless in a low-light environment, while amorphous silicon solar panels can still work relatively well in low-light conditions."
"However, the conversion rate of amorphous is low, and now crystalline silicon solar power generation is more widely used."
Wang Songling, as the person in charge of Galaxy Solar Group, was originally the person in charge of researching space solar power generation, and he was very familiar with this aspect, and began to slowly count with his fingers.
"Now the best monocrystalline silicon solar panels can generate 0.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity an hour, that is, 0.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity, of course, this is on the earth, if it is in space, because there is no weakening of the atmosphere, the intensity of sunlight in space is more than ten times that of the ground, even if we are 10 times, a square of monocrystalline silicon solar panels can generate 2 kilowatt-hours of electricity in space in an hour."
"In space, we can generate electricity 24 hours a day, and will not be affected by day and night like the ground, and solar panels can work 24 hours a day in the best direct state, and this power generation efficiency is quite good."
"Let's do a simple calculation, 1 square meter of solar panels can generate 2 kilowatt-hours of electricity in one hour in space, and 48 kilowatt-hours of electricity in 24 hours a day."
"This time, the space solar power station we built is 10,000 meters long and wide, with an area of 100 million square meters, which can generate 4.8 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a day, or 1,752 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in a year."
"1,700 billion kilowatt hours?"
Hearing Wang Songling carefully calculate where with his fingers, he didn't know it, but he was shocked.
Lu Qingwei originally thought that this power station might not make any money, but now when he heard this terrifying figure, he was immediately frightened.
What is the concept of generating 1,700 billion kilowatt hours a year, the annual power generation of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station is only about 100 billion kilowatt hours, that is to say, the power generation of such a space solar power station can be almost equal to 17 Three Gorges Hydropower stations.
How terrifying this power generation is, I really thought it was nothing when I didn't count it, but if I calculated it carefully, my obedient man was almost equivalent to 17 Three Gorges Hydropower Station.
"Even if this kilowatt-hour of electricity is calculated according to five cents, this space solar power station can almost create an output value of more than 800 billion yuan a year."
Lu Qingwei couldn't help but shake his head again and again, this business can be done.
Then he thought about it and said, "How about the cost of this construction?" ”
Anything is a hooligan to talk about benefits without cost, this point, Lu Qingwei is very clear, the power generation of this space solar power station is really okay, but this upfront investment, maintenance costs, etc. must also be carefully calculated, if it is too high, no matter how large the power generation is also chicken ribs, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.
"One of the biggest costs of photovoltaic power generation is the storage battery, accounting for nearly half, of course, this is before, with the emergence of our company's atomic matrix battery, the cost of photovoltaic power generation has been greatly reduced."
"Recently, the world's photovoltaic companies have begun to rejuvenate, because everyone has calculated, if the use of atomic matrix batteries, can greatly reduce the cost of power generation, in addition to new energy subsidies, photovoltaic power generation will be profitable."
"Recently, our company's atomic matrix battery sales have begun to rise, and the proportion of atomic matrix batteries purchased in the field of photovoltaic power generation has begun to rise."
Wang Songling thought for a while and said slowly.
"The atomic matrix battery is purchased internally by our company, and the cost of this piece is basically negligible, and we have purchased this photovoltaic panel on a large scale, and the price has been talked about very low."
"The cost of building this solar power plant in space is about 100 billion."
"100 billion?"
"How low~"
When Lu Qingwei heard the number, he couldn't help but say with his eyes lit up.
"Otherwise~ we have our own atomic matrix battery and our own spacecraft, that is, to purchase photovoltaic panels, where is the cost high."
Wang Songling smiled and said.
"If an outside company or individual wants to build a space solar power station of this scale, how much will it cost?"
Qin Yi listened all the time, thought about it and asked Wang Songling.
The internal costs of Galaxy Technology Group are naturally completely different from the external costs, and building a solar power station in space is just what Qin Yi did in order to be a leader.
Although it is generating electricity in space, it is not a technical activity in essence, which is not in line with the identity of a high-tech enterprise of Galaxy Technology Group, and Qin Yi only intends to use it to drive domestic capital and theory to develop in this field, so this cost is very critical.
"If it is an external company, the cost should be at least 10 times that of us, and it will take at least 1,000 billion Chinese dollars to build a space solar power station of the same scale, and even if there is no spaceship, this cost will rise to about 1,200 billion~"
Wang Songling was very clear about these figures, and said them almost without thinking.
"Even if it is calculated at a cost of 1.2 trillion yuan, it is very profitable."
"The huge capital investment of trillions can be recovered in less than two years, and the rest is earned, and the profits are also considerable."
Lu Qingwei said after carefully calculating.
"And in fact, there is no need to invest too much in space solar power stations at the beginning, there are tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars can also build a small solar power station in space."
"The power generation efficiency is so high, no matter how big or small the investment is, the return is actually possible, such as the simplest, build a 100-meter by 100-meter small space solar power station."
"This 10,000-square-meter solar power station can also generate 480,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a day, and 170 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, and a profit of 80 million a year, which is also quite impressive."
"According to Lao Wang's calculations, the investment in the 10,000-square-meter space solar power station is only about 120 million."
Qin Yi also calculated carefully, and suddenly felt that this field of space solar power generation was still possible.
"No~No~"
"If we enter the field of space solar power generation on a large scale, the power generation of our space solar power station alone is so terrifying, equivalent to 17 Three Gorges, can we use up a huge amount of electricity?"
"When the time comes, this electricity must not be the price of cabbage, and it can't be calculated."
Lu Qingwei soon found out that something was wrong, and shook his head again and again.
"If the amount of electricity generated is too large, it will definitely reduce the price of electricity, but our country can also use this to shut down those thermal power plants and so on and replace them with clean energy."
"In addition, once the interstellar space age comes, there will be many places that consume electricity, not to mention anything else, just our spaceships, they are all electric tigers, and the power consumption is extremely powerful."
"It won't take long to carry a million kilowatt-hours of electricity at one time, and our smelting plant on the moon uses an ionization reactor, which is also an electric tiger, and the daily power consumption is extremely amazing."
Qin Yi said with a smile.
The development of civilization is not only the development process of transportation, but also the history of the development and change of energy.
In ancient times, people only knew how to burn wood and straw, but after the Industrial Revolution, coal was king, and coal was as important as oil today.
Coal was followed by oil, and now oil is still the lifeblood of industry, and the energy of the interstellar space age is electricity, and everything is built on electricity.
Spaceships use electricity, interstellar mining uses electricity, future space factories, space farmland, etc. still use electricity, all of which are inseparable from electricity, and with the development of the interstellar industrial age, the consumption of electrical energy will become more and more terrifying and terrifying.
There is no need to worry about running out of electricity because of too much production.
In particular, Qin Yi knows very well that when space factories bloom everywhere and the asteroid mining industry rises, the power consumed by any enterprise will be extremely terrifying, and what needs to be worried about at that time will be insufficient electricity, not the problem of excess power.
"That's right, the ionization reactor of the smelting plant on the moon is really an electric tiger, which is the largest part of my current expenses, and I have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars every day on electricity alone~"
Hearing Qin Yi's words, Lu Qingwei realized that the ionization reactor in the lunar smelting plant of the Moon Mining Group he was in charge of was extremely power-consuming.
"Lao Wang~ Let's discuss something, after your space solar power station starts to generate electricity, can you sell electricity to me at cost price, you have such a huge power generation, if you don't find a few big power consumers, your points will not be used up at all~"
Then Lu Qingwei put his arm around Wang Songling's shoulders and began to discuss the matter of buying electricity.
At present, all the electricity of Galaxy Technology Group is purchased externally, and the cost of electricity alone is an astronomical amount every year, and the power consumption is too large.
In particular, the Moon Mining Group, which Lu Qingwei is in charge of, is simply an electric tiger, no amount of electricity is enough for it to swallow, although the ionization reactor is very convenient and environmentally friendly to smelt rare earths, but this power consumption is not covered.
"Ahem~ It's easy to negotiate and negotiate to buy electricity, but you also know that I also owe a lot of debts now, so are you embarrassed to let me sell it to you at cost price?"
"What's so embarrassing about this~We're brothers~"
