Chapter VII Costs
Since the revival of the aura, although humans have been able to occupy a place in the hands of alien beasts all over the world, due to the limited number of people and absolute strength, most of the human activities now revolve around the vicinity of cities.
As a result, in terms of access to various resources, except for a small number of cities with excellent geographical locations, most of the remaining cities are in a situation of partial resources.
For example, as a coastal city, the advantage of Binhai City is that it has a pleasant climate, abundant water resources and biological resources, coupled with dense rivers in the territory, and also has certain advantages in food cultivation.
This is also an important reason why it has been able to develop rapidly in less than 30 years after its construction.
The disadvantage is also obvious: the extreme lack of various fossil resources, such as the most basic and important coal.
Heating is a secondary thing, after all, the coastal areas have been fine most of the time except for the occasional sudden cold.
The biggest drawback of Marina City today is that it can't provide enough electricity, that is, it lacks enough fuel to generate electricity.
It was also because of the revival of the aura that the scientific and technological development process of the human race in this world was forced to be interrupted, and naturally he lost the ability to make mushrooms, at least Jiang Ming had never heard of any mushroom-related topics in his life so far.
Therefore, the power station technology derived from the mushroom technology has also disappeared in the long river of time.
Although mankind has since begun one technological revolution after another after gaining a foothold, it is not so easy to get back what is lost.
Therefore, the most reliable way to obtain electricity in most human cities is still thermal power generation.
During this period, no one has thought of replacing thermal power with other methods, such as photovoltaics, hydropower, wind power, etc.
But none of this is almost meaningless in Marina City.
First of all, because most of the rivers near Marina City lack drops, hydropower is the first to be eliminated.
Then there is photovoltaic and wind power, as a coastal city, because of the pleasant climate all year round, there is not too much extreme weather, so even if these two things are used, it is difficult to completely rely on them to replace thermal power like those cities in the northwest region.
Nowadays, the lack of electricity has become the biggest obstacle to the expansion of Marina City into large cities.
……
"Solar power, just by it?" Xue Wenhui pointed to the glowing sunflower seed next to the balcony, with a bit of doubt in his tone.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming didn't say anything.
Facts speak louder than words, he directly picked up the flower pot of the sun-facing seeds, and led Xue Wenhui to the roof of Zhengming Company, where there were several rows of solar panels.
Because of the popularization of various auxiliary power generation methods, basically every household in Binhai City will have small wind power photovoltaic facilities, and Zhengming Company is no exception.
It's not much, but it can still save some electricity bills.
"Uncle Xue, you're optimistic." Jiang Ming placed the sun-facing seeds in front of a power generation board.
Ten minutes later, as more and more sunlight gathered towards the sunseed, the power generation board next to it was full of power in a short time, and at the same time, the power of several power generation boards that were close to it also increased a lot.
Taking advantage of the first technological explosion in equipment, mankind has also made great breakthroughs in various auxiliary power generation facilities, far surpassing Jiang Ming's previous life.
Otherwise, with the fact that most human cities have neither mushroom electricity nor thermal power, it is difficult to live normally, so how can we talk about development.
Looking at the power generation board next to Xiangri Seed that began to run at full power, Xue Wenhui was stunned for a moment.
Zhengming's power generation boards are just ordinary civilian level things, the maximum power of a single is only 500W, and it can barely play more than half of the performance when the sun is at its best, but now a small sun-facing seed can do this!
Looking at Xue Wenhui's shocked expression, Jiang Ming couldn't help but show off: "Uncle Xue, the Sun Seed is just a baby now, and when it grows up and becomes stronger in the future, it is estimated that it alone will be able to pull up all of our dozen panels." ”
Xue Wenhui's face changed several times when he heard this, and finally sighed and said, "Even if this is the case, how much electricity can be generated by relying on it?" Even if our power generation panels are running at full power, the electricity generated in a day is not enough for our own use. ”
"Then a few more!" Jiang Ming said indifferently, "As long as you give me enough materials, there are as many seeds as you want!" ”
However, Xue Wenhui, who heard this, changed his face suddenly, and said to Jiang Ming in a serious tone: "Xiao Ming, uncle knows that you are powerful now, but if all the belongings of our Zhengming company are invested in these genetic organisms, other aspects of business will definitely be affected, and it will be difficult for the city guards to explain it at that time." ”
Because he had not seen the specific process of creating Sun-facing seeds, Xue Wenhui could only make a wrong estimate of the cost of Sun-facing seeds based on his understanding of the genetic biological value on the market.
It's no wonder that Xue Wenhui, after all, he has not been engaged in related work, and he doesn't know that the majority of the field of genetic biology is actually in the first step, that is, the development of biological genetic code.
And Jiang Ming's side is because of the help of the system, which directly saves a piece of the biggest cost, plus the sun seed is a plant-type elf, and the value of the little things consumed is even more limited.
It seemed that seeing Xue Wenhui's worries, Jiang Ming didn't talk nonsense, and directly took him into the laboratory to demonstrate the creation process of the Sun Seed.
"Well, that's pretty much it." Jiang Ming pointed to the elf eggs that only had an outline in several cultivation troughs and introduced them to Xue Wenhui, "After a few days, the elf eggs will be completely formed, and they will be transferred to the incubation room, and they will be able to break out of their shells in about five days." ”
"It's... Is this done? Xue Wenhui felt that his three views had been greatly impacted at this moment.
Then Jiang Ming gave Xue Wenhui a general science of all the procedures for creating a genetic organism before concluding: "Uncle Xue, I have already solved the most difficult step, and we can fully bear the cost after that." ”
Xue Wenhui was overjoyed, he had no reason to stop Jiang Ming anymore, and of course he wouldn't stop it.
To be honest, as a partner of Zhengming Company, Xue Wenhui never thought about growing the company.
It's just that this kind of thing is easy to say, but if you really want to do it, it will naturally involve all aspects of the problem, and Xue Wenhui doesn't dare.
Besides, Xue Wenhui is also old, and the only thought now is to train Jiang Ming well, and when he grows up, with Jiang Zheng's care, the two brothers can make trouble as much as they like.
……
After that, the two discussed the promotion of Xiangri Seeds, and finally agreed to hold a press conference three days later.
As for the matter of solar seed power generation, Xue Wenhui said that after the press conference, he would go to the energy bureau in Binhai City and try to do something to promote it.
Because of Jiang Zheng's relationship, Xue Wenhui still has some connections in various official departments in Binhai City, and when the time comes, with the endorsement of the official department, the special ability of the Sun Seed will be recognized by the public faster.
