Chapter 399: Butterfly Island
The next morning, Zhao Ye set off for Yantai, Shandong Province, to inspect the construction of the Bohai Dam.
Penglai District, Yantai, Shandong Province is the starting point of the Bohai Dam and ends at Lushunkou in Dalian.
After Zhao Ye and his entourage came to their destination, a wide and sturdy dam had been built at the end of Penglai District, with a width of 220 meters and a base of 250 meters, and the average height of the dam was more than 10 meters above sea level.
In order to make full use of the commercial value of the Bohai Dam, Wujiang Group has built a Butterfly Island at the starting point of the Bohai Dam to develop real estate and tourism industries, and build the two Butterfly Islands into a tourist mecca in China!
The two Butterfly Islands will also be the largest artificial islands in the world, with a total area of 25 square kilometers.
Zhao Ye looked at the butterfly island that was beginning to take shape, and couldn't help but feel excited.
"It's spectacular to look at from here!!
Zhao Ye couldn't help but speak.
The sea is full of clouds and mist, as if there is a huge fairy butterfly dancing on the sea, causing people to reverie, and those who don't know think it is a mirage.
The Bohai Dam, on the other hand, runs through the middle of a giant butterfly and extends into the depths of the sea, with no end in sight.
Not long after, Zhao Ye and the others took a luxury yacht and began to move along the route of the Bohai Dam.
When passing through Butterfly Island, Fangjue Island is huge.
25 square kilometers, equivalent to 3,501 football fields, almost the size of a Lujiazui.
However, although Butterfly Island has been reclaimed from the sea, the bare sandy land above it will need to be developed in the future.
Obviously, after the completion of the Bohai Dam, the rise of the Bohai Rim region will inevitably accelerate, and the commercial development value of Butterfly Island is extremely high. Of course, if you also participate in commercial development, that is the most profitable, and other people can just drink some soup.
Perhaps with just two Butterfly Islands, the Borderless Group will be able to earn back the money for the construction of the Bohai Dam.
Of course, the Bohai dam itself has a lot to do with its revenue, such as charging stations, gas stations, hydroelectric power stations and wind power stations, especially wind power stations, which not only generate electricity, but also act as a source of wind. In addition, the Bohai Dam stands every 200 meters with a large windmill, which combines with elements such as the sea of clouds, the morning glow, and the seagulls, forming a picturesque paradise on earth.
"On May 28, 2011, the Bohai Dam project officially started, and it will be completed by the end of this year. Zhao Ye smiled with satisfaction and said to a middle-aged man with glasses beside him.
"Dong Zhao, the reason why the construction speed of the Bohai Dam project is so fast is mainly because of your strong support!" Chief Engineer Liu said modestly, "In this project, there are 150,000 workers and 110 dredgers, including 10 super artifact 'Tiankun' heavy self-propelled cutter suction dredgers. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Ye saw a dredger working in the distance, pumping sand from the bottom of the sea, and then blowing sand towards the dam to fill the ground.
The sand sprayed out, drawing a graceful curve, but it was like a flood pouring down from the sky, stirring up huge waves.
Farther away, as far as Zhao Ye's eyes could see, there were dozens of dredgers operating at the same time.
What a spectacular scene! Even if Zhao Ye saw it, he couldn't help but be amazed and sighed.
It's a marvel of nature!
Seeing this, Zhao Ye finally understood why the construction progress of the Bohai Dam was so fast.
The power of science and technology is really awesome.
……
After inspecting the Bohai Dam, Zhao Ye and his entourage returned to Yantai. Zhao Ye was very satisfied with this trip, and after returning to the hotel, he told the project team to make persistent efforts, but also do not forget to pay attention to the quality of the dam.
In addition, the commercial development of Butterfly Island should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Zhao Ye didn't say much, leave professional things to professional people to do, and after the plan is done, just leave it to him to get ideas.
Of course, Zhao Ye has not forgotten the original intention of building the Bohai Dam, which is to turn the Bohai Sea into the largest freshwater lake in China.
Therefore, Zhao Ye then talked to everyone about how to speed up the desalination of the Bohai Sea.
Without human intervention, it could take hundreds of years for the Bohai Sea to become a freshwater lake.
There were many ideas that came to mind, and the best way to do that was to pump the sea water away......
The difficulty of pumping is not high, the average water depth of the Bohai Sea is 18 meters, and the maximum water depth is 85 meters. The electricity generated by the offshore wind can be used to pump out seawater, and if it is protracted, the Bohai Sea will have more and more fresh water, and the sea water will become less and less, and it may be less than 20 years, and the Bohai Sea will become a freshwater lake.
Zhao Ye said that the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, directly 10,000 pumps, 24 hours a day uninterrupted pumping, I don't believe that the Bohai Sea will not be dull!
If the rate of desalination is slow, then 10,000 more pumps.
Even Wujiang Group simply established a pumping company to develop and produce new pumping machines, so that not only the quality of pumping machines can be guaranteed, but also the cost can be reduced.
Perhaps, in the future, the pumping machine market will be bigger and stronger.
Once the Bohai dam is successfully turned into a freshwater lake, it is expected that other countries around the world will also be ready to turn some of their own seawater into fresh water, and then a pump will need to be efficient enough.
Zhao Ye has always been resolute in his work, and the next day he found someone to set up a pumping company, and when the Bohai Dam is completed in the future, it will be able to quickly and seamlessly connect and install the pumping machine.
Zhao Ye is also well aware that not all coastal places are suitable for transforming into freshwater lakes. In the future, most coastal cities will rely on desalination projects for water.
So, after finishing his trip to the Bohai Dam, Zhao Ye went to visit the desalination plant in Hainan.
I'm afraid many people don't know that Hainan Island, which is surrounded by the sea, will also lack water.
In fact, Hainan is not only short of water, but also quite severe. Surrounded by mountains, there is not much water, and when it rains, most of the water flows quickly into the sea. Hainan Island is also subject to the sea breeze all year round, and the salt content of the seabed is very high, and the well water in Hainan may not be usable.
The main solution to Hainan's water use can only be the use of seawater desalination projects.
With the rise of tourism on Hainan Island, freshwater resources are becoming more and more scarce.
As a result, Wujiang Group has established a large-scale desalination plant in Hainan that integrates technology research and development and freshwater production.
There are many coastal countries in the world that are short of water, and the application prospect of seawater desalination technology is very broad, including many coastal cities in China are very short of water, but the cost of seawater desalination is relatively high at present, and it cannot be popularized on a large scale.
Zhao Ye took time out of his busy schedule to come to Hainan and wanted to express his support and importance for the desalination project.
At this time, the workers of the entire Wujiang Seawater Desalination Plant knew that Zhao Ye was going to inspect the work, and everyone couldn't help but be greatly encouraged and full of expectations, and some smart people speculated that Zhao Dong was going to increase investment in the research and development of seawater desalination technology, and everyone's good days were coming.
