Massive amount of money.

Tightly managed.

Gradually improve the industrial chain.

Plus Homo sapiens' powerful technology.

Cities in southern Luzon are beginning to see noticeable changes, not only in terms of income, but also in terms of spirit.

Engineering projects such as road construction, building houses, and building bridges have frantically absorbed local labor, so that both urban and rural areas, where there was a surplus of labor, have been siphoned off by these projects.

If it is just an increase in income, it is actually of little use to the local economy, because money is a thing that can only be bought in order to reflect its value.

For example, in China's Lingnan Province, why is it that there is a lot of capital flowing into the Chaoshan region every year through overseas Chinese remittances, but it is difficult for the living standards of the local people to improve?

The reason is that there is no increase in what money can buy.

Assuming that the locally produced materials are 10,000 tons and the total amount of funds held by residents is 100 million yuan, the average price of materials is 10 yuan per kilogram;

However, when the total amount of funds held by residents reaches 300 million yuan, and the locally produced materials are still 10,000 tons, the average price of materials naturally becomes 30 yuan per kilogram.

This is known as "remittance inflation".

There are only two ways to solve this particular inflation, one is to increase local material production, and the other is to increase the import of materials.

After the rise of Internet shopping, the Chaoshan area reluctantly alleviated the shortage of some local materials through online shopping, resulting in high prices.

In southern Luzon, however, it is a two-pronged approach.

While expanding the import volume of materials, the Home of Abundance has also increased the local production of materials by joining hands with Haitian Agriculture, and the improvement of infrastructure has reduced the loss of transportation and warehousing a lot.

For example, the mangosteen sold in the Fengrao supermarket before, due to the difficult transportation roads, the preservation technology cannot keep up, even if the mangosteen produced in the surrounding area, the price is still very high.

Now that the highway has been widened and extended to various towns and villages, this infrastructure upgrade has brought about a reduction in the cost of transportation for use.

Of course, Coral Construction will not do a loss-making business, these new roads are toll roads, unless they are vehicles of sister companies, otherwise they will obediently pay tolls.

Homo sapiens invests in so many roads, not for everyone to use for free, otherwise other competitors can use these infrastructure for free, wouldn't it be a rival.

Ciudad Sud of Lima.

A gas filling station in the suburbs.

Many people were waiting in line, but today's filling station is a little unusual, as Emerald Energy employees are selling new gas cylinders and gas stoves to users.

Lu Min, who runs a Chinese restaurant in the city, has a lot of gas every month, and he is entangled with a leaflet in his face.

If he switched to methane gas, it was indeed cheaper than gas, but he had to replace the gas stove and gas cylinders, which made him hesitate.

However, the recent rapid economic development of Limanan, the customer flow of his Chinese restaurant has also increased by nearly two or three percent, and the gas consumption has naturally risen.

According to Emerald Energy, the price of methane gas is only about 60% of that of coal gas with the same heat, and if he is worried about price increases, he can sign a long-term gas supply contract.

Lu Min signed a one-year contract, and then the staff took the gas cylinder and the gas stove and followed him back to the restaurant to renovate the gas stove.

The people who choose the same as Lu Min are those who use gas heavily, such as restaurants, small workshops, slaughterhouses, food stores, etc.

Lu Min's local wife scolded angrily when she heard that she was going to replace the new gas stove, but the contract had been signed, and she could only pinch her nose and admit it.

After the staff installed the gas stove and turned on the gas valve switch, a light blue flame came out of the stove, and he explained carefully:

"Boss Lu, the methane gas stove and gas cylinders are specially equipped, don't take them casually, and if this gas cylinder is lost, a brand new 30-kilogram gas cylinder will cost 1,200 pesos."

"What cylinders? Why is it so expensive? Your company isn't cheating, is it? Lu Min's wife immediately questioned.

The staff was not angry, but shrugged their shoulders and smiled: "Methane gas is not the same as coal gas, ordinary gas cylinders can't hold too much methane." ”

Methane cylinders are indeed different from ordinary gas cylinders, because methane is difficult to compress into a liquid state at room temperature, and if you insist on filling methane into the gas cylinder, you can only fill methane in the form of gas in the end, or burst the gas cylinder.

The methane cylinder developed by Jade Energy uses a crystal sponge as the inner tank, plus a sound and vibration isolation layer and a steel shell, as well as an internal sound wave generator, so that the stored methane can be continuously released from the gas storage liner.

The sonic generator can be used in dry batteries or by plugging in, with very low energy consumption.

The safety of this kind of gas cylinder is also very high, if the sonic generator is not activated, even if the valve of the gas stove is opened, the gas cylinder will not be deflated, and the switch of the sonic generator needs to be pressed to release methane.

Even if there is an accident that triggers a deflagration or explosion, the temperature sensor of this gas cylinder, once it senses that the temperature of the cylinder exceeds the warning value, will automatically shut off the sound wave generator, so that the methane can no longer be released.

This is also the reason why the price of methane cylinders is relatively high.

Emerald Energy is promoting methane gas in major cities, naturally because methane plants have been put into operation, and currently 3 methane plants have been put into operation, and 7 methane plants are under construction.

One of the methane plants is near the southern city of Lima, and its annual methane production is about 40 million ~ 50 million cubic meters, leaving room for further upgrading.

The raw materials of methane plants are household waste, waste plastics, dead branches and leaves, waste residue and waste liquid from food factories, starch and sugar.

In general, starch and sugar are not used as raw materials for gas production.

However, it is the rotten branches and leaves of the plantation, the waste residue and waste liquid of food processing, and the organic waste of daily life that are the main raw materials of the methane plant.

For example, in the Lima South Methane Plant, the current raw materials for gas production are 12~16% of domestic organic waste, 5~8% of waste plastics, 21~30% of waste residue and liquid from production enterprises, 35~50% of dead branches and rotten leaves from plantations, and 10~15% of grass and trees pruned from forest farms.

Basically, the fermentation tanks in the methane plant are running at full capacity, and even if the methane produced cannot be sold, it can be stored.

Of course, wood and plastic in the garbage will not be used to ferment methane when there are sufficient raw materials, but as reserve raw materials.

Starch and sugar are the raw materials that are only used as a last resort in emergency situations.

At present, the replacement of coal gas by methane has reduced the cost of gas production by about 86% for Emerald Energy, and it was previously necessary to import coal from Australia to make gas, but now it can gradually reduce coal imports.

However, because the price of coal is still relatively cheap, Emerald Energy has not stopped importing, but will use the remaining coal to reserve in several small coal mines near the port.

Resources are such a thing, as long as the price is right, of course, you must use imported ones.

Anyway, the coal will not expire, and the American knife often amplifies the water, so it is more reassuring to turn the American knife into a resource and hoard it.

There are a lot of beautiful knives, and that's the real wrong.

In case of a conflict with América, the other party can ban the knife in his hand without using it.

What is the difference between money that can't be used and waste paper? It's not even as good as waste paper, which can also be recycled.
