Xinghuo Science and Technology scientists and invited academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discussed and determined the development plan of the geothermal energy base.

On January 10, Zhou Yu held a remote online conference in the conference room of Xinghuo Technology Longshou Building, and Zhou Yu announced to executives involved in the development of geothermal energy.

"The geothermal energy development project was officially launched, and it is hoped that all units will cooperate perfectly to complete the geothermal energy development work as soon as possible."

All the executives of Xinghuo Technology had solemn expressions, and their faces showed eager expressions to try and began to challenge the project.

Zhou Yu saw Gou Fugui's virtual figure disappear, and the task of Xinghuo Materials Company was very heavy.

It is not only the production and development of core materials for geothermal energy, polysilicone, styrene and polypropylene. These are two silicon-based polymer materials that are very difficult to produce.

They also need to produce high-hardness alloy drill bits, which require different drill bits for different crustal structures.

They also have to produce material for consolidating the drilling, and the polysilicone styrene is placed in an arm-thick drill so that it doesn't withstand the enormous pressure.

In addition to these main material production business, Xinghuo Materials Company is responsible for the production of special materials required by temperature difference generators and special materials required by drilling machinery.

Zhou Yu saw Liu Jingchong nodding at him and walked out of the conference room.

Liu Jing also has a heavy task, as he is responsible for the development of thermoelectric generators, which are the most important instruments for geothermal energy development projects.

The mechanical laboratory has completed the drilling rig improvement work and is being handed over to Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company for production.

Drilling from above the earth's crust to the mantle layer at an average depth of 2,865 kilometers requires a purpose-built drilling rig.

There is no mechanical energy to ensure that the drill pipe is up to 2,865 kilometers long and does not deviate.

They can only use a mechanical structure similar to a shield machine, and complete the erection of the drilling well while drilling.

Yuan Keqing's virtual figure nodded at Zhou Yu, and said confidently: "Mr. Zhou, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task."

Zhou Yu also believes that Yuan Keqing can complete the set task, and the scientific research center almost fully supports Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company.

Improve the performance of industrial robots so that they can process high-precision drills, drill rigs, and other equipment.

As long as this project is completed perfectly, it will be able to promote the processing accuracy of Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company and truly enter the nano level.

At the end of the online conference, the figure of the crowd dissipated, and the people who were meeting in the conference room also walked out of the conference room.

Zhou Yu also returned to his office to experience the progress of the geothermal energy development project with Xingling glasses.

Now the busiest thing about this project is site selection, and after the indicators of the geothermal energy development project appeared, Xinghuo Technology contacted the professional exploration institutions under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Let them be used with specialized equipment to explore the structure of the earth's crust.

If you want to develop geothermal energy, the most important thing is to drill wells, and the site selection must be extremely careful.

The drilling must be done in a very hard area near the mantle layer, where the mantle pressure is not too great.

This will not cause them to directly induce volcanic eruptions when they burrow into the mantle layer.

The alloy drill bits and drilling rigs owned by Xinghuo Technology are not afraid of the hard crust of the earth, but the crust is not compact, and the magma seeps from the mantle layer along the drilling well to the ground.

The site selection of the base must also choose a place that is not well populated.

Spark Technology has the technology to prevent volcanic eruptions, even if the mantle layer magma seeps to the surface, they have the means to control it, but they must ensure that in the event of an extreme accident, it will not cause a particularly major disaster.

On January 13, Zhou Yu received a report from the exploration team that they found suitable geological conditions in a small barren mountain in Xiong'an New Area.

Xiong'an New Area is not a seismic zone, the earth's crust is relatively tough, and the mantle layer below this small barren mountain is the weakest, making it suitable for drilling.

When Zhou Yu received this news, he immediately asked Xinghuo Technology to take action.

Xinghuo Technology has submitted an application to the government for the development of geothermal energy, and after discussion by experts such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it has been verified that the advantages of geothermal energy development outweigh the disadvantages.

The state also hopes that Xinghuo Technology can develop geothermal energy, so that Huaxia can master a new energy channel.

After the address was confirmed, the relevant departments immediately went through the development procedures for Xinghuo Technology, and officially began to carry out three links and one level on this small barren mountain.

Large machinery began to enter the market, an improvised road was cleared, and the State Grid began to erect 10 thousand volt high-voltage power poles for the power supply of the base.

The plant is urgently producing materials and equipment, and the construction of a geothermal energy base has begun.

Scientists were not idle, and based on the crustal data collected by the exploration team, they began to calculate the location and number of wells drilled.

Dozens of supercomputers have been working around the clock to simulate the impact of drilling into the mantle layer based on algorithms built by scientists.

After two weeks of calculations, the scientists calculated the best data, and they calculated that 48 wells needed to be drilled on a small barren hill of three hectares, and the location of each drilling well was determined.

Liu Jing also completed the research and development of the temperature difference generator, and Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company is urgently manufacturing.

The geothermal energy base has also begun to take shape, and the rocks on this small barren hill have been cleared, and the tents have been replaced with assembled concrete houses.

Large machinery began to dig underground space at a depth of 50 meters on the small barren mountain, and the entire space occupied about 60 square meters.

This space is a space for thermogenerators, but the walls of the space are equipped with alloy steel plates that can withstand high temperatures.

The outer wall of the alloy steel plate is connected with the thermally conductive material polysilicone styrene.

This is a safe house designed by scientists by carefully calculating the temperature and pressure of magma erupting to the ground.

If the magma does erupt, the thermally conductive material polysilicone styrene will quickly remove the heat from the alloy steel plate, allowing the alloy steel plate to cool down quickly.

This allows the magma inside the safe house to cool down quickly, eventually forming a magmatic rock material that directly blocks the drilling.

Through this safety protection measure, even if the site is not properly selected, the drilling well really erupts, it is only a scrapped drilling well, and the magma eruption will not form a real volcanic eruption, leading to catastrophic consequences.

On January 25, Zhou Yu of Xinghuo Technology, Jiang Long, director of the silicon-based materials laboratory, Jia Yun, chief engineer of Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company, and Wang Dashan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, came to the geothermal energy base.

Wang Dashan saw the small barren mountain that had changed greatly, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Zhou Yu, I hope that your Xinghuo Technology can really develop geothermal energy this time."

If geothermal energy can really be harnessed and reach the energy conversion rate reported by Spark Technology, then it will completely change the development of the world.

If such a small geothermal energy base can really catch up with a medium-sized hydropower station, it will change the energy pattern too much.

Our country will really be able to cut thermal power stations to the limit.

Nuclear energy is used in coastal areas, and water conservancy and geothermal energy are used in inland areas, and even if the electricity consumption increases several times, there will be no shortage of electricity in our country. ”

Zhou Yu understands Wang Dashan's feelings, now nuclear energy is the best energy source for power generation, but nuclear power plants have a fatal weakness, that is, nuclear power plants need a lot of water in operation.

Nuclear power plants must use large amounts of water to cool their nuclear reactors.

It is also necessary to prepare large quantities of water resources to cope with possible dangers.

Even if the desalinated seawater is transported through pipelines in the inland areas of China, it can only solve the problem of production and domestic water, but cannot solve the huge water consumption of nuclear power plants.

Zhou Yu said confidently: "Director Wang, our first drilling rig will start immediately, and you can wait for a while to see whether the geothermal energy development is successful."
