Chapter 271: For the Empire's Sky
The conference room was full of people, and if you look carefully, you can find that everyone attending the meeting is full of aura, either they are full of official spirit, or Wenhua is outward. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
“...... Comrades, the power industry is the basic industry to ensure the healthy development of various industries, and now we are facing new problems in the new era, and the emergence of bio-photovoltaic and bio-cells will completely change the pattern of the power industry. Today, the Planning Commission, the Ministry of Electric Power, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Power Grid Company, the Hydropower Company, the Thermal Power Company, the Nuclear Power Company, and relevant experts are invited here in order to work together to choose a broad road for the development of the power industry in the new era......"
The host of the meeting on the stage was talking eloquently, and Li Menghua kept looking at the report in his hand, which was about the recent scientific research layout and division of labor in various universities, research centers, laboratories, and R&D enterprises in the empire, as well as the progress of research in various key fields of biological civilization.
At present, the Research Center of the Special Service Department is responsible for the core special biological analysis work, and conducts exploration and research on principles and theories; If their own strength is insufficient, they will adopt the mode of subcontracting research projects, and divide key projects to various national laboratories; The applied research in the periphery is handed over to universities and cooperative laboratories and commercial enterprises for research and development.
For example, at present, specialized research is being carried out on luncheon trees, using luncheon trees as the female parent, through hybridization, grafting, gene editing and other means, seeking to develop specialized luncheon trees that are specialized for the production of shelf-stable grains.
As an artificially developed plant, the luncheon tree has a wide range of climate and soil adaptation, from tropical to cold zone, from humid climate to arid climate, it can be widely adapted.
If the Specialized Luncheon Tree is successfully developed, it will greatly promote the agricultural production of the Empire......
Li Menghua was watching and listened to the host. “...... Please ask Academician Li to introduce us to the research on power generation plants. ”
Seeing everyone's eyes focused, Li Menghua turned on the switch of MIC, "We have selected several power generation plants for special cultivation, in order to meet the needs of urban greening, and at the same time take into account the power generation function, haze absorption and filtration function of the plant, mainly landscape trees and lianas. ”
"We will clean bacteria, solar film related genes and plant grafting, at present there are several plants have been able to achieve about 30% of the conversion rate of solar energy, according to estimates, if these power plants to achieve 40% of the urban green area, then 20% of the city's electricity will be able to solve itself."
"Solar power generation is distinctly cyclical, with peak power production during the day and almost no output at night, which leads to a huge barrier to pure solar power. Now we have a biological battery, just to solve this problem, we have made a careful calculation, a city of 1 million people, if purely powered by solar energy, counting the loss in the transmission process, it needs about 80 square kilometers of power generation plants, and 5000 cubic meters of biological batteries, this configuration can almost ensure the normal production and life of the city. ”
"Academician Li, if you follow your data, wouldn't it be possible to ensure all the electricity consumption in the country as long as you plant 80,000 square kilometers of power generation plants?"
"Almost! Considering that the longer the transmission distance, the greater the loss, it is estimated that 160,000 square kilometers of power generation plants should be enough for the development needs of the empire for 5-10 years. In addition, the cost of biological batteries is low, and the energy storage effect far exceeds the existing inorganic batteries, perhaps in the next few years, a large number of cars will be transformed from internal combustion engines to electric engines, which will produce a large demand for electricity, even if you count this part of the sudden increase in electricity demand, with the power plantation of urban greening, it should be enough to meet. ”
"Academician Li, my country has a lot of people and little land, and the planting area of power plants needs more than 100,000 square kilometers at once, I'm afraid I can't squeeze out so much arable land, right?"
"If you don't consider the difficulty of management and maintenance, in fact, power plants do not need to seize arable land, hills and mountains can be planted with power plants, and there are 700,000 square kilometers of desert in China, as long as we completely cover the desert with power plants, all the electricity produced may be enough to meet the needs of half the world."
"It's not so easy to green the desert, if it were easy, it would have been greened long ago."
"The difficulty of greening the desert is in the plants, we used to be able to use the greening plants are not drought tolerant, but now with biological civilization technology, this is not a difficult thing, I believe that it will not be long before the development of drought-tolerant power plants for desert areas, as well as drought-tolerant lunch trees will be put into use."
"Hey...... With electric plants, those of us who engage in thermal power will have no food to eat, and by the way, hydropower and nuclear power are estimated to be robbed of jobs by other people's plant electricity! "Someone whined loudly.
"Ahem! Cough! The moderator attracted attention, "The purpose of this meeting is to coordinate the overall planning and development of various departments, comrades can not only think about their own small family, but also think about the empire, everyone can develop a small family better." Now the policy of the empire is to vigorously develop biological civilization, and all industries that can be replaced by biological civilization will gradually transition to biological civilization. ”
"There is a moment of discomfort, a moment of pain, this is the meaning of our sitting here today, comrades must strengthen confidence, resolutely implement the cabinet resolution, and strive to 3-5 years, the power industry from the traditional power generation mode to biopower generation."
"Now all thermal power plants and thermal power plants have to seek to start the transformation and find their own place to build their own power generation plantations. If you have money to contribute, you will make a strong contribution, whoever invests will benefit, and you will benefit from early investment, and you will be trained in production skills as soon as possible, so that employees can adapt to the biopower generation model as soon as possible......"
Li Menghua silently observed the reaction of the attendees, in fact, most of them had reservations, which was inevitable. Reform will always touch the interests of some people and destroy many people's jobs.
And biological civilization has a huge characteristic, it has a strong self-sustainability, as long as the power generation plant is planted, in addition to regular watering, it hardly needs much maintenance, this time liberating a large number of laborers, or smashing many people's jobs.
Grid companies may not have been affected very much, but those power generation companies, especially thermal power, which accounts for 74% of the empire's electricity generation, have been hit the hardest.
Compared with the clean and environmentally friendly energy of biopower generation, thermal power not only consumes a lot of energy, pollutes heavily and causes huge damage to the environment, but also occupies a large amount of national production value, from coal mining, processing, transportation, to the final combustion power generation, several related industries in the middle are serving thermal power, but the final output is electricity that accounts for more than 30% of air pollution emissions.
If all thermal power is converted to biopower, the sky above the empire will be at least half as clear. No matter how much the thermal power companies resist, I believe that the cabinet will vigorously promote biopower generation even for the sake of the imperial sky.
