Chapter 636 Solving the Water Problem
Anti-gravity laboratories will be built in desert areas, and seawater desalination projects will be implemented to control deserts.
These two seemingly unrelated things are actually more closely related.
Desert areas are inaccessible to the rest of the world, with no cities, no tourists and few explorers, making them a natural secret testing ground.
The current anti-gravity laboratory, the future anti-gravity equipment factory, will be the first-level confidential department of the Blue Star Group, and it is most suitable to be placed in the desert area.
But there are two sides to everything, desert areas are inaccessible and secretive, and living conditions are quite difficult.
How can experiments be carried out without water and food, where people cannot survive?
It's impossible for the Bluestar Group to take water from somewhere else every time to buy food and send it to the experimental base, right? The best way to keep the experimental base alive on its own is to keep it alive.
In the future, laboratories in desert areas will take on more important tasks, and making desert areas, at least an oasis in the desert where the laboratories are located, is the first step in starting anti-gravity experiments.
While the experimenters were traveling to the desert area, Chen Nuo also came to Tianshi to prepare to build the world's largest biological desalination treatment plant here.
Not to mention the lack of water in desert areas, even cities such as Tianshi and Yanjing are also short of water.
In addition to the water in the Yanjing area from the surrounding reservoirs, more is groundwater, with the development of urbanization for decades, the groundwater has long been drained, in the past the suburbs of Yanjing can be obtained by hitting six or seven meters deep, now the depth of twenty meters can not even see the shadow of the water, the same is true of the heavenly market.
Therefore, when Bluestar Group announced the desalination plan, Tianshi and Yanjing welcomed it with both hands.
Mayor Zhang of Tianshi waited at the airport an hour in advance for the special plane of the Bluestar Group, accompanied by leaders of various departments of Tianshi and many media.
Of course, Tianshi knows the purpose of Bluestar Group's trip - to find a coastal site in Tianshi to build a seawater biological desalination treatment plant, and send the desalination seawater to the desert area of Mobei through the south-to-north water diversion pipe network.
Why choose the Sky Market? The only reason is that this is the closest estuary to Mobei.
Of course, Mayor Zhang agreed to the project of the Bluestar Group to settle in Tianshi, but there was a request, that is, he hoped that the Bluestar Group could allocate a little water to Tianshi and Yanjing to solve the water shortage in Tianshi.
Despite the fact that Tenshi is a port city, there are still many rivers and lakes nearby, but Tenshi already has a population of 16 million, and the water of these rivers and lakes simply cannot meet the requirements of the city.
As early as ten years ago, there was a slogan in Tianshi: "As long as you have water, I want it." More than 10 years later, Tianshi has already set up a special water resources department, which has only one mission: to go to the Yangtze River and Yellow River areas to negotiate with the local government and transfer water.
Desalination?
Of course, Tianshi also has its own seawater desalination treatment plant, which is high cost and low efficiency, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning. The cost of treated water in Tianshi's desalination treatment plant reaches 60 yuan per tonne, which can only meet the needs of the population in a small area, and cannot be popularized at all.
As soon as Chen Nuo got off the plane, the boys and girls from Tianshi Primary School danced to greet him and put the wreath on Chen Nuo's head.
Mayor Zhang shook hands with Chen Nuo and said, "Chairman Chen, welcome to Tianshi." ”
Chen Nuo said: "Mayor Zhang is polite. ”
The welcome ceremony was quite grand, and Mayor Zhang also invited Chen Nuo to make a brief speech at the airport.
Chen Nuo roughly introduced the situation of Bluestar Group's preparation to invest in seawater desalination treatment plants, and said: "We have taken the lead in realizing biological seawater desalination treatment technology in Azur Island, which originally had no lakes and rivers, let alone groundwater, and biological seawater desalination treatment technology has been able to fully meet the water needs of tourists and residents on Azur Island." ”
Chen Nuo looked at the cameras of reporters and said: "In addition, Nauru has also introduced our technology, and at present, Nauru's seawater desalination treatment equipment has been completed, and the equipment will be put into operation next week, and Nauru, which is short of water, will also drink pure and low-cost fresh water." ”
"When we came to Tianshi, we are also willing to use the most advanced seawater desalination technology in China to solve the problem of water shortage in the desert north of China. Natural deserts are an integral part of nature, the most important part of the earth's climate regulation, and we will not touch it. But those places that were originally grasslands and oases, but later due to human destruction, water sources have decreased and desertification, we must deal with them. ”
Chen Nuo's speech won the applause of the reporters, and the reporter of Tianshi TV asked: "Our Tianshi is also short of water!" Can seawater desalination technology be applied to Tianshi? ”
Chen Nuo smiled and did not answer the question.
Chen Nuo will not give any affirmative answer until the negotiations are reached.
The reporters in Tianshi were very disappointed, and they appealed to Mayor Zhang: "The people of Tianshi must be given priority to drink fresh water!" ”
Mayor Zhang and Mingming, he said: "I will definitely convey everyone's voice to the Blue Star Group!" ”
After the airport welcome party, Chen Nuo did not stop and went to see the project site non-stop.
On the way, Dai Yanfei whispered to Chen Nuo: "Professor Ding, they have arrived in the Bataan Desert and found a natural experimental site. ”
Professor Ding, who was a doctor of physics from Tsinghua University, objected to Chen Nuo at the meeting.
Chen Nuo simply asked him to be the head of the anti-gravity laboratory project.
Professor Ding was very interested in this physical problem and took the initiative to become one of the first researchers to go to the desert site.
In the position of Professor Ding, money and status are not important, they are born for science.
Dai Yanfei used Aisin equipment to pass the photos taken by Professor Ding's team to Chen Nuo.
Dai Yanfei said: "The experimental site is located in the hinterland of the Bataan Desert, which is inaccessible, and if we didn't have professional exploration equipment and instruments, we wouldn't have been able to find it. ”
Professor Ding's team used quantum satellites to maintain communication, drones to collect topographic maps, and supercomputer modeling to plan routes.
Dai Yanfei zoomed in on the topography and said: "The terrain here is flat, the surrounding desert is immovable, and there is a dry lake bed here, and after analyzing the structure of the lake bed, it is concluded that if there is enough water, this lake can store water." We can connect the pipes here. ”
Chen Nuo also feels that this place is a natural experimental place, and even if an oasis is formed in the future, few tourists will travel here.
"The signals of the place are blocked for ordinary users, and all the experimental equipment is lifted by plane." Chen Nuo determined that this was the location of the Anti-Gravity Lab.
"Our water is transported to Lake Baka, a freshwater lake 200 kilometres away, and then piped from the lake to the test site."
"I have checked the waterway, and the pipeline of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has been extended to the Alxa area, and we are building a section of the pipeline from Alxa to Baka Lake, and a pipeline from Baka Lake to the experimental site, with an estimated construction period of three months."
