"Leader, don't be so excited. This is just my preliminary idea. Whether it can be realized depends on the progress of subsequent technical research and development. If it is not technically possible, this idea will not be realized.
And even if the technology meets the standards, we still need to simulate the impact of climate change through computers. Only by determining the scope and change trend of the impact can we enter the real implementation stage. " Zhao Yi said.
"How do you plan to solve this problem? Can you tell me in advance? This will allow me to organize expert verification and make it easier to publicize internally." The leader asked.
Hearing what the leader said, Zhao Yi felt that it was indeed the case. If he didn't come up with something, it would be difficult to win people's trust. What's more, for such a major matter, no progress could be made without some basis.
"It's actually very simple. The reason why rainfall cannot form is mainly because it cannot form larger raindrops. If there is a technology to solve this problem, high-altitude water vapor can form raindrops and fall down.
Therefore, the difficulty is very clear. As long as such a light substance can be produced and has strong adsorption capacity for water vapor, the problem will naturally be solved. " Zhao Yi said.
"You mean you have this substance on your hands?" the leader asked.
"No, aren't we planning to study it? If there really is, I won't be inclined to give things away in the seminar. This is what I just thought of." Zhao Yi said.
Hearing what Zhao Yi said, the leader's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. Although Zhao Yi's scientific research strength is obvious to all, the strength of his cornerstone materials company is not weak either.
But it is not that easy to come up with materials that meet the requirements in a short period of time. Materials research is more like a game of chance. There is no guarantee of when it will be developed.
Although that is the case, the person in front of me is not an ordinary person. Since he has come up with this method and just vowed to do something big, he should be somewhat confident, right
"How sure are you that you can develop this kind of substance? When will it be developed? You know, even if there is such a substance, it needs to be green and pollution-free, otherwise even if it forms rainfall, it will pollute the land." The leader asked road.
"I know this, and I also feel that this kind of material cannot exist for a long time and needs to degrade itself in a short period of time, otherwise it may bring greater disasters.
If they cannot combine with water vapor to form rainfall at high altitudes for a long time, they will remain floating at high altitudes. If they happen to encounter large amounts of water vapor in other places, they will form rainfall in these places, which may affect the local ecological climate. " Zhao Yi said.
"As long as you can fully consider these problems, we are here to solve problems, not to create bigger problems in order to solve problems." The leader said.
When Zhao heard the leader's words, he nodded and continued: "As for whether it is certain to be developed, it is not very clear at the moment, but within a week, a preliminary conclusion can be drawn.
Regardless of whether you have an idea or not, I will tell you that if you really have an idea, the research and development time will definitely not exceed one month, and you will also seek to reduce costs and industrialize production. "
In fact, he only needs to go back and enter the Zhouling space to find Zhouling to solve this problem. Although he is not sure whether there will be such a substance, at least it seems to him that it is a high probability event, because Zhouling can let him down. Not much happens.
"No matter what the result is, just go ahead and do it boldly. I personally support it. However, if this substance is really developed, don't sell it to others easily." The leader said.
Zhao Yi was surprised when he heard what Action said. There is no concept of weather weapons yet. In fact, he had no intention of exporting them, but just for internal use. He didn't expect that the leader would think of this.
"That's no problem. I had no intention of selling it to anyone else," Zhao Yi said.
"In that case, there will be no internal discussion on the east-west water transfer for the time being. We will conduct follow-up discussions after you have preliminary results," the leader said.
"That's okay. I will tell you the results within a week at the latest, and it will only take two or three days at the earliest." Zhao Yi said.
"Okay, let's end this conversation here. You go back and study it quickly." The leader stood up and said with a smile.
Although this seminar did not develop as expected, it did achieve a lot. Without this seminar, Zhao Yi would not have thought of completely transforming the northwest environment.
If we didn't have the desire to completely transform the environment of the Northwest, we wouldn't have such a good idea. On the way back, thinking of the vast expanse of blue waves, I couldn't help but feel excited.
After returning home, it was already past dinner time. Zhou Jinyu saw him coming back and asked strangely: "Didn't you say you were going to have a three-day meeting? Why did you come back in one day? Lao Li didn't even prepare anything for you?" Meals.”
In his excitement, he didn't care about this at all and said directly: "It's okay, just eat something. There are a lot of snacks at home anyway."
When Lao Li heard what he said, he immediately refused and said, "That's not possible. Just wait a moment and I'll make some noodles for you right now."
Hearing what Lao Li said, Zhao nodded and said: "That's okay, just do it casually, no need to bother."
"Okay, it'll be fine in a moment." After hearing this, Lao Li happily went to work.
Zhao Yi followed Zhou Jinyu to the living room, lying on the sofa, preparing to go to Zhou Ling Space to find Zhou Ling to see if there was any technical solution for manufacturing substances that met the requirements.
Zhou Jinyu saw that Zhao had been lying on the sofa with his eyes closed since the beginning, thinking that he was tired from the meeting that day, so he stood up and went to get him a thin blanket to cover him.
Although Zhao Yi's consciousness has arrived in the Zhouling Space, he can still feel the extra blanket on his body. Seeing how sensible Zhou Jinyu is, a smile appears on his face.
Then he directly told Zhou Ling his request. After Zhou Ling heard his description, he just stayed silent for about a minute and then told him that he had skills in this area.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ling showed him all the technical information that met the requirements. There were 20 pieces of information in total. Zhao Yiyi just needed to choose one of the technologies that met the requirements more.
In the end, Zhao Yi chose an ultra-light and ultra-small gel particle technology. Although the density is only L, the production cost is the lowest. The raw material is water, which will still turn into water after degradation, which can be called hydrogel.
The hydrogel lasts for one day in the unsaturated state, and half a day in the saturated state. This survival time is also very appropriate in Zhao Yi's opinion.
The water adsorption capacity of hydrogel can reach 1,000 times its own weight. According to this standard, 1.5 billion tons of this material are needed to remove 1.5 trillion tons of water vapor from the sky above Xinjiang every year.
Although the northwest or Xinjiang is short of water, there is still a surplus of 1.5 billion tons of water, and these are only initial difficulties. After a large amount of rainfall occurs, there will be no water shortage in the area.
At that time, we only need to build a local factory with an annual output of 1.5 billion tons of this substance to solve the problem. More importantly, the net production cost of each ton of this substance is only about 10 yuan.
Although Zhao Yi is not short of money, he cannot bear it if this alone consumes hundreds of billions of yuan every year. You must know that climate and land transformation is not just about solving the problem of rainfall.
If the cost of rainfall is too high, he will not have much money to carry out land greening, terrain reconstruction and other work. This cannot affect the normal operation of his other enterprises.
Therefore, in Zhao Yi's view, it is enough to spend one to two billion yuan each year on artificial rainfall, and the rest must be spent on land transformation. In this project, the initial annual investment is less than 100 billion yuan, which is relatively comfortable. interval.
In this way, he can use the profits of Tianji Dairy Company to subsidize this project. Due to the substantial increase in people's income this year, the price of domestic dairy products has increased slightly, and the overseas profits are huge, allowing Tianji Dairy Company's overall profit to return to normal. good.
In the past year, their profit scale has increased by 30%, reaching more than 70 billion yuan. In addition to the funds they left behind, they can spend about 50 billion yuan, and the rest can only be obtained from Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. I want money.
In fact, despite the large amount of funds consumed every year, most of the costs are actually transferred within his companies, and there is very little outflow of funds, so the real situation is much better than it looks on the surface.
Although it is said that he needs to spend a large amount of money every year on the environmental transformation of the Northwest, in fact, more than half of the money is returned to himself through various channels.
As for the rest, it is either paid to employees in the form of wages, or flows outside in the form of taxes and other means. This is the benefit of internal circulation.
After recording this information in his mind, Zhao Yi left Zhouling Space in less than 10 minutes. This was also due to his good brain memory and being able to remember so much in a short period of time. Much technical information.
Returning to the real world, I opened my eyes and saw the apple in Zhou Jinyu's hand. She was eating and watching a TV series. However, the sound of the TV series was much lower than usual, probably because she was afraid of disturbing her rest.
Seeing that he woke up, Zhou Jinyu asked, "Have you rest now? Did the TV wake you up?"
"It's okay. I wasn't sleeping at all just now. I was just closing my eyes and thinking about something. Are Lao Li's noodles ready?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Not yet, I guess it will be soon. Just wait a few more minutes." Zhou Jinyu said.
In fact, he couldn't tell how hungry he was, so he sat up directly next to Zhou Jinyu and watched TV with her. The TV series was still the "Song Dynasty" he watched last time. Since the plot was quite long, he didn't know when the finale would come.
Within a few minutes of watching, Lao Li's noodles were cooked. Lao Li still knew his own taste and knew that he was from the south and was not used to the handmade noodles in the north, so he made dried noodles.
Two poached eggs and shredded carrots and pork are always delicious every time I eat them. These are habits and memories brought from past lives, and have nothing to do with whether the family is rich or not.
After finishing the noodles, Lao Li put away the dishes and got off work. Zhao Yi continued to watch TV with Zhou Jinyu, talking, but this time he watched absentmindedly.
After finally watching two episodes of the TV series, Zhou Jinyu also went back to his room to sleep. He came to his study room, organized the technical information in his mind into technical documents, and then sent them directly to the high-end robots in the laboratory.
Now all this hard work is taken over by high-end robots. He only needs to pass the technical information to the junior artificial intelligence, and then the junior artificial intelligence will command the high-end robot to complete the experimental operation.
After doing this, two hours passed, and it was almost midnight. He was indeed a little sleepy, so he hurried back to his room to rest.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, I hurried to the laboratory. After most of the night, the high-end robot had almost used laboratory equipment to make some samples.
When he came to the laboratory, Zhao Yi stood aside and watched the high-end robot operate by itself. After about two hours, the entire experimental process was finally completed and some samples were produced.
In fact, the volume of hydrogel can be made very large. The finished product in the laboratory is now a cube the size of a piece of soap. Zhao Yi took the sample and put it into the water. It was filled with water in an instant, very fast.
Then take out the hydrogel and put it on your hand to examine it. The hydrogel filled with water looks like the water is fixed. From the outside, you can’t see the existence of the hydrogel at all. It should be a hydrogel. It is also a transparent substance.
When no external force is applied, the water absorbed by the hydrogel will not easily overflow from it, but once some external force is applied, the water inside will flow out easily.
He thinks this feature is very important. If it is not easy to let the adsorbed water out, then when it rains, it will feel like an ice cannon and may cause harm to the human body.
This situation is just right now. All it takes is the impact pressure from falling to squeeze out the water inside instantly.
The remaining amount of water is enough to stop the hydrogel from floating. After the hydrogel automatically decomposes, all the water will be released, including the water formed after the hydrogel decomposes itself.
Then they tested the adsorption capacity of the hydrogel in a water vapor environment. They prepared a huge cover, injected a large amount of water vapor into it, and then injected tiny hydrogel particles into it to see the effect.
Since the water vapor inside the cover is relatively uniform, when the hydrogel particles are injected, the water vapor below is instantly adsorbed by the hydrogel and forms water droplets, which fall to the bottom of the container.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi felt that the effect was very good. As long as the water vapor comes into contact with the hydrogel, it will basically be absorbed by it. Until it reaches a saturated state, it will no longer have adsorption power.
This is only a preliminary test. Later, it is necessary to determine the ratio of water vapor and hydrogel to achieve the maximum adsorption effect, as well as the adsorption efficiency of the hydrogel, etc.
Only when these test data come out can we have a relatively complete result, which will be of great help in how to implement the transformation plan in the future.
However, these tasks did not require his personal supervision. After reading the basic results, he determined that this substance could indeed be used as a tool for artificial rainfall.
Returning to his own studio, he passed the technical information on the industrial preparation of hydrogel to Fluclight Environmental Management Company and asked them to take the lead in preparing for the industrial preparation.
It is not an easy task to build a hydrogel production capacity with an annual output of 1.5 billion tons. It not only requires a large amount of related equipment, but also requires finding sufficient water supply places in Xinjiang.
According to his plan, it is best to release the hydrogel on the Tianshan Mountains, so that the hydrogel can float to high altitudes faster and form rainfall as quickly as possible.
Therefore, the hydrogel release point must be located along the Tianshan Mountains, so the hydrogel factory also needs to be located along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. This can also disperse the manufacturing plants and avoid concentrated consumption of water resources.
At the same time, it is too expensive to transport such a large amount of hydrogel to the Tianshan Mountains by traditional means of transportation, such as helicopters, so it is best to build pipelines and use pipelines to transport them to the Tianshan Mountains.
In this way, you only need to install a large blower at the entrance of the pipe to blow the hydrogel particles directly along the pipe to the release point. Hydrogel is inherently light, so it is not difficult to do this, and the power consumption is not particularly large.
After these hydrogel particles are released in the Tianshan Mountains, they can quickly combine with the water vapor in the high-altitude clouds. The water vapor at the bottom of the clouds will first condense into water droplets and fall down. Rainwater can be obtained along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. of nourishment.
Due to the strong winds in Xinjiang, hydrogel particles that do not absorb water vapor can easily cover the entire Tarim Basin, eventually forming a large-scale rainfall. At this time, high-altitude water vapor will also be condensed into water vapor on a large scale and fall down. .
Part of the rainwater that falls will be absorbed by the dry desert land, and the rest that is not absorbed in time will flow along the river to Lop Nur, which is located in the low-lying area of the Tarim Basin, injecting a large amount of water into Lop Nur.
You know, if there is no place where the water flows, such rainfall can easily cause the Tarim Basin to form saline-alkali land, so no matter what, the rivers in the entire Tarim Basin need a destination, and that is Lop Nur.
By then, Lop Nur will become a large saltwater lake, and the evaporated water vapor from Lop Nur will mix with the evaporated water vapor from the entire Tarim Basin.
It crosses the wind outlet in the east, enters Gansu Province, and continues to move eastward, bringing a large amount of low-altitude water vapor to the entire northwest and even the entire north. If conditions permit, a large amount of rain will fall.
By then, the face of the entire north will be fundamentally changed. Perhaps Inner Mongolia will no longer be a vast grassland, but will probably become a vast expanse of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River.
Moreover, as the low-altitude water vapor in the upper reaches of the Yellow River increases, the rainfall in the Yellow River Basin and the Loess Plateau will also increase significantly. As long as the management of the Yellow River is done well, the annual water volume of the Yellow River may not be less than that of the Yangtze River.
In this case, many cities and farming areas built along the Yellow River will also receive huge amounts of fresh water, and the industrial and agricultural development of these cities and areas will no longer be restricted by water resources.
This is why he is so excited. He even feels that if his plan is successfully implemented, it will be more meaningful than his previous career. (End of chapter)
