Sand Camel Kingdom.

Among the Kings Mansion in Riyadh.

Root?? Salman is the crown prince and deputy prime minister and minister of defense of the Sand Camel Kingdom.

"Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince! Subordinates should report urgently. ”

Hearing the voice of the intelligence officer Safi outside the door, Salman said slowly:

"Come in!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is an urgent report from the embassy in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, I hope you can see it in person." Safi hurriedly handed a report to Salman.

Salman heard that it was a rabbit's business, and immediately paid attention to it, after all, when he bought a two-kick, the rabbit also gave a mushroom, although the button of the mushroom was in the rabbit's hand, but the deterrent effect was very powerful.

Hurriedly flipped through the content of the report, and after a while, he couldn't believe it, a desalination plant with an annual output of 84 billion cubic meters of fresh water? Are you kidding?

It's not that the sand camel kingdom has not engaged in a desalination plant, this data is really fantastic, is it now popular to brag about rabbits?

There are three sources of water for the living and economic development of the Sand Camel Kingdom: desalination, groundwater and rainwater. In most areas, 70 per cent of the water used comes from desalination, with the remainder from reservoirs and groundwater.

Over the decades, they have invested large sums of money to build 30 large-scale desalination plants on the east and west coasts, with an annual output of 2 billion cubic meters of drinking water, which will be transported to more than 40 cities and towns across the country through 3,270 kilometers of water pipelines for the daily use of urban and rural residents.

In addition, they have built 225 large and small reservoirs throughout the country, especially in the east, west and north, to store rainwater.

Currently, the Sand Camel Kingdom is building or expanding desalination plants and preparing to build 26 new reservoirs to cope with the growing demand for water for economic and social development.

It is expected that the total storage capacity of the reservoir will gradually increase to 1.9 billion cubic meters in the next five years.

In addition, in order to protect precious groundwater resources, they decided to reduce the area of wheat arable land more than a decade ago.

In the 80s of the last century, in order to ensure the security of the country's food demand, the Sand Camel Kingdom vigorously developed groundwater and expanded the cultivated area of wheat, which once achieved self-sufficiency in grain, and was able to export a part of wheat.

However, this practice has led to the decline of groundwater in this arid country year after year, and the loss of groundwater resources is serious.

Later, they had to reduce the area under wheat cultivation to stem the decline in groundwater.

At present, the tap water in the country of sand camels is surprisingly cheap, only equivalent to about 2.2 Chinese yuan per ton, which is rare in today's countries in the world.

According to a sample survey conducted by relevant agencies, although there is a serious shortage of water resources in the country, their per capita water consumption is very high.

Analysts believe that the sand camel kingdom is likely to face a water shortage crisis in the near future.

After thinking about it, Salman asked Safi, the intelligence officer on the side:

"Are you sure it's 84 billion cubic meters? Instead of writing an extra zero?"

Safi hurriedly replied respectfully:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, according to various sources, this data is true, and our embassy staff has hired professionals to inspect the factory and confirm that the data is roughly consistent."

Salman thinks about it, he knows the water situation in the country of the sand camel, and it is all dependent on the desalination plant to sustain it.

But the desalination plant in the sand is really exchanging oil for fresh water.

Their total annual water consumption in the country is about 18 billion cubic meters.

The cost of fresh water produced by the desalination plant is 0.8 US dollars per cubic meter, equivalent to 5.6 Chinese yuan per cubic meter, but the price of residential water is 2.2 Chinese dollars per cubic meter.

Obviously, the official subsidy of sand camels is about 1 billion US dollars per year.

A ton of crude oil is only about 3,000 yuan, a kilogram is only about 3 yuan, and the production of one cubic meter of fresh water is equivalent to consuming two kilograms of crude oil, which is still not counting transportation costs and the like.

To produce 2 billion cubic meters a year, it needs to consume about 4 billion kilograms of crude oil, that is, 4 million tons of crude oil.

Usually the crude oil we hear is calculated in barrels, so how many barrels is 4 million tons of crude oil? This is equivalent to about 29 million barrels.

Salman knows that if there is really such a large-scale desalination plant in China, then the production cost must be very low, otherwise it will not be applied on a large scale with the character of rabbit.

After all, 0.8 US dollars per cubic meter of fresh water can afford to be used by large dogs like sand camels, and ordinary people really dare not play like this.

"Safi, get ready for a special plane, I'm going to Dongtang." Salman commanded.

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

……

Thorn ......

A special plane with a lot of money slowly landed at Peking International Airport.

As soon as Salman stepped off the plane, he had a closed-door meeting with the water company.

Of course, this kind of thing will definitely not be negotiated all at once, and it will not work for ten or eight days without delay.

During this period, Salman took the desalination brick home of a sand camel and visited the desalination plant in Bohai Bay.

Whew...... The fresh water squeezed out from both sides of the desalination canal rushes quickly from the desalination canal into the reservoir like a huge waterfall.

"Incredible! It's really amazing! Their technology is amazing. Salman's brick house was amazed.

"Ahem, Dr. Sardin, how productive are they?" Salman asked with a dry cough.

"Hmm......" Dr. Sardine took out his tablet and made a quick estimate, and after a moment he raised his glasses and said:

"This desalination canal can produce at least 12 billion cubic meters of fresh water a year, considering that they are only operating about 40% of the power now, there is no problem with an annual output of 28 billion cubic meters, and their plant has three desalination canals, and their data will not be too different."

Salman suddenly squinted at the desalination canal in front of him, which can meet all the water consumption of sand camels in the country and save 10 billion cubic meters.

But another problem has been difficult for Salman to make up his mind to introduce this desalination plant, because the desalination membrane of this desalination plant needs to be replaced every four months.

He's not a fool, and once the rabbit cuts off the membrane supply, the desalination plant is wasted.

Therefore, he is inclined to buy film production technology from Galaxy Technology, but the water company obviously will not stick to it, not to mention that Galaxy Technology will not easily agree to this kind of thing.

In particular, thin film production technology also involves chip production technology, and the Presbyterian will never allow technology transfer.

Therefore, the issue of technology transfer has become a key issue for the two sides to make concessions.

Salman is trying to convince the water company and Galaxy Technology to obtain the transfer of film production technology, for which he even offered a sky-high transfer fee of 50 billion US dollars.

If it was a rabbit forty years ago, maybe I would have agreed to this kind of thing, but today is different, the camel is still the camel of the past, but my rabbit is no longer the rabbit that is so poor that he sells two kicks.

Salman and the others looked at the fresh water in the reservoir, and they were really envious and jealous at this moment.

Camels invest a lot of money in the research and development of seawater desalination technology every year, but sometimes technology is really not a matter of burning money.

After visiting the desalination plant, Salman returned to Beiping with mixed feelings, and the two sides continued to play a tug-of-war.
