Chapter 1733 Federal Express
According to the data mentioned by Theonidi, Han Xuan made a simple calculation in his head, and suddenly found that the electric vehicles he had vigorously advocated in the past few years did not seem to be really environmentally friendly.
Compared with the original fuel vehicles, it can play a certain role in energy saving and emission reduction, but it is far from achieving the effect he expected, which involves many key factors, so that he was silent for a while and did not speak, thinking about the problem of gains and losses.
In general, the current implementation of electric vehicles is naturally advantageous, although the use of coal resources to generate electricity, there will also be a certain amount of pollution, but those pollution is in sparsely populated areas, can be removed by the natural ecology.
Dust, pollution and other problems do not need to worry too much, the only thing to worry about is the various harmful gases emitted into the atmosphere with combustion, according to the document in front of them, it is only slightly less than the total amount of exhaust emissions from fuel vehicles, which violates one of the starting points of Han Xuan's development of electric vehicles.
One starting point is to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases, and to maintain the sustainable development of the earth's ecology as much as possible.
Another starting point is naturally to make money, using the advanced electric vehicle manufacturing technology in their hands to seize the opportunity in the next wave of generational change, and at the same time to break the monopoly of the oil giants.
Han Xuan's recent attempts to hoard energy resources in Siberia are mainly based on natural gas, oil or something just to be able to make a profit, and he does not plan to develop in the oil industry for a long time, the original market has almost been carved up, and he only intends to stare at Huaxia.
The ruthless fact is now in front of Han Xuan, if you want to promote the development of the electric vehicle industry and eliminate the problem of automobile exhaust pollution, it is more difficult than he imagined, unless you accelerate the development of the new energy industry layout, and greatly increase the proportion of renewable electricity energy in the world's total electricity production, otherwise the implementation of electric vehicles is almost useless.
I didn't think about this before, but now I was reminded by Mr. Sionidi that he began to pay attention to this aspect of the problem, and think about it at a deeper level, and there is a good explanation for the vigorous promotion of electric vehicles in oil-poor countries such as China and Japan.
Compared with oil, the price of coal is cheaper, China's coal reserves rank third in the world, at least for the next few hundred years, there will be no shortage of coal resources, and it is more cost-effective to use coal to generate electricity.
As for pollution, it has become a secondary concern, and the most important issue is still the economy......
If you want to control automobile exhaust, you must first develop clean and sustainable new energy, which is a difficult problem that cannot be avoided during the implementation of the electric vehicle industry.
When he used to think about this matter, the idea was too simple, originally thought that as long as he offended the oil merchants and those traditional car manufacturers, he found that the implementation of electric vehicles, even coal merchants, thermal power companies and other enterprises have to offend, the resistance is suddenly much greater, if you want to develop renewable new energy, it is bound to touch their interests.
The strength of these people combined, Han Xuan thought that he could not compete, fortunately, this matter could not be done overnight, it would take a long time to complete, and there was no need to think too much about it in the short term, and it was completely able to change the world imperceptibly.
Compared to solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, and hydroelectric power, nuclear power generation is more efficient, but this technology is not perfect, and the upfront investment is too large.
France is currently the most widely used nuclear power generation country in the world, and the electricity generated by nuclear energy accounts for more than 50 percent of the country's total power generation, which is not unrelated to the small population of France, and the United States has a total of more than 100 nuclear power plants, but the electricity generated can only meet 20 percent of the electricity demand.
Han Xuan was thinking at this moment that it would be great if the world used nuclear energy to generate electricity, but unfortunately the idea could not be realized for the time being, the available raw materials were insufficient, and the technical level was not enough for the time being.
The main raw material used in the nuclear fission power generation process is uranium, which has billions of tons of reserves in the earth's crust, but the distribution is very scattered, and it is difficult to find relatively concentrated ore sites.
More than 10 years ago, the world's terrestrial uranium reserves were about 1.45 million tons, mainly distributed in the United States, South Africa, Australia, Canada and Nigeria and other countries, which was quite troublesome to mine.
A nuclear power plant produces more than 100 tons of highly radioactive nuclear waste every year, and some of the high-level nuclear waste has a radioactive half-life of 100 to 100,000 years, which means that after 100,000 years, this nuclear waste will also affect people and the environment.
In the United States, for example, the Yucca Hill Nuclear Waste Repository, which is currently under construction, has a project budget of about $43 billion.
In fact, these are not problems, the most important problem is that if we try to vigorously develop nuclear energy resources, we will touch the interests of existing interest groups, and the United States has not built a nuclear power plant for more than 20 years is the best proof of this, and the so-called insecurity is just an excuse in Han Xuan's view.
The radiation in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant is very safe, and the cost of building such a nuclear power plant is only about 10 times that of a conventional power plant, and considering the benefits that can be brought over a long period of time, a nuclear power plant is more cost-effective than a conventional power plant.
The more than 100 nuclear power plants have saved the United States hundreds of billions of dollars in pollution control in half a century.
Compared with nuclear fission, nuclear fusion is more powerful, as the raw material of nuclear fusion energy, hydrogen and its isotopes deuterium and tritium are very rich in reserves on the earth, and there are about 32.4 trillion tons of deuterium in the ocean, enough for human beings to use for billions of years.
For human beings, nuclear fusion energy will be an inexhaustible and long-lived energy, which is also the main source of energy for the sun and the universe, but in a short period of time human beings will not be able to master the technology to use them, if it can really appear, the world only needs a nuclear fusion power station, can provide enough electricity for the world......
The report in front of Han Xuan, which successfully included the new energy industry in his consideration, seemed to be a little inexplicable and asked Mr. Theonidi: "What is the stage of research on nuclear fusion power stations in the world?" ”
Theonidi was stunned at first, he didn't understand why the little boss asked this, and then he reacted and replied: "The first phase of the trial has just ended, and it may take fifty to a hundred years before it is actually put into commercial use."
No one knows exactly when, but we will be able to master this technology one day, and we will often make breakthroughs in stages, and with each breakthrough, we are one step closer to fusion. ”
"It's just wonderful.
Maybe in my lifetime, when I can still see it appear, Assistant Joy, please help me contact my family trust and let them set up an energy investment department, wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy these three aspects are the focus, don't be afraid to spend money, buy a few leaders in this industry first, invest in research and development.
I think that in twenty or thirty years, the new energy industry will be very marketable, especially in nuclear fusion research, and let them help me find all the top experts in the world! ”
Assistant Joy was stunned, didn't know what to think, and said with a frightened expression: "Little boss, we can't make a hydrogen bomb, you have nowhere to sell it!" ”
“…… I mean power generation! Han Xuan was speechless and gave him a big roll of his eyes, his gaze returned to the stunned Mr. Theonidi, and he then said: "Thank you very much for the information, it has successfully changed my view of the electric vehicle industry, but with the increasing proportion of new energy power in the total power generation, I believe that in the near future they will indeed be able to play a significant role in protecting the environment."
Considering the power utilization and the cost of power generation, they do bring benefits to consumers and some countries, so it is still necessary to promote electric vehicles.
Thank you for your advice, the company will give you and your R&D team, a total of 1.5 million US dollars reward, please help distribute them according to the results of labor, this part of the bonus is not included in the year-end bonus, I believe it can make you have a fun Christmas holiday.
Assistant Joey, please help me arrange this......"
Mr. Theonidi was pleasantly surprised, they were usually paid and helped with the work.
Not stupid enough to remind Han Xuan that there are only four people in this team, which means that everyone can get a large windfall, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and then said goodbye and left, for fear of delaying the work of the small boss, in the eyes of the company's employees, many subsidiaries of the company have encountered crises these days, and he should be very busy.
……
Taking a look at Bloomberg News' data terminals at the end of the market every day has become one of Han Xuan's habits.
Today, I lost tens of billions of dollars again, and I got used to it because of the loss, and I actually felt acceptable, and I was in the mood to call Anya and agree to go to the MEET restaurant to eat grilled lamb chops together.
After hanging up the phone, I typed a string of numbers on the keyboard, which was the stock code of the old man SOS supermarket, the page was green, and it only rose by 0.7 percent, affected by the Internet bubble crisis, this pre-Christmas sales season was obviously not as lively as before, even if the car 4S store discount promotion could not sell much, the executive officer of Kesten Miller reported to him the car sales this month.
Standing up and stretching, Han Xuan found that it seemed like it was time to leave the company, Motorola invented the mobile phone, and for those of them who do business, the biggest advantage is that they don't have to be trapped in the office and can handle business anytime and anywhere.
Packed up his things, sent the documents he processed today to Executive Anthony, and left downstairs after a few simple chats, even though Han Xuan was in the company, this sad CEO was still very busy, and people were used to solving problems with him, which made Executive Anthony feel quite helpless.
In the evening, when the four towers of the snow-capped mountains obscure the setting sun, the sky is dyed orange by the sunset, and the sea of San Francisco Bay in the distance changes color, he just bought land, and some yachts will approach from the sea to visit this beautiful company headquarters.
After coming out of the door of the high-rise building, you can hear the movement of the truck, and since the past two days, there have been heavy trucks transporting construction materials, preparing to build several high-rise buildings not far from the four towers of the snow-capped mountain, which are specially sold to the company's employees.
Now there are more employees working here, and there are likely to be more in the future, how to solve the problem of their accommodation is imminent, when the four towers of the Snow Mountain were designed, there was a piece of land for building apartments, which has been delayed until now to prepare for construction, and is currently only transporting building materials, and will really start construction next year, I believe that with the development of these enterprises of Han Xuan, Santa Clara Town may be able to develop into a medium-sized city in the future.
Walking to the door of the Alpha Building, Han Xuan waited for Anya to arrive, and soon saw a panda running over, Xiao Barry found a lawn at random and squatted down, the nickname of "Bear-shaped Dung Making Machine" is not groundless, this guy really pulls wherever he goes......
