During Zhao Yi's competition, the Yellow River control plan submitted by Yaoguang Environmental Management Company was closely discussed within the government and finally reached a consensus that it was time to deal with the Yellow River water system management issue.
The data cannot be faked. According to rainfall monitoring data from last year to this year, rainfall in the north has increased significantly. Coupled with the north-south rainfall line that has moved northward, rainfall in the north has further increased.
In fact, this situation was also predicted when implementing the climate transformation of the Tarim Basin. After all, the purpose of this plan is to increase rainfall in the entire north and solve the problem of water shortage in the north.
It’s just that everyone thought that this should be a relatively slow process. In addition, as several deserts in the upper reaches of the Yellow River were controlled, the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River was significantly reduced, so everyone did not make timely arrangements for the follow-up plan.
The biggest source of sediment entering the Yellow River now is the uncontrolled areas of the Loess Plateau. Most of these places were not desert areas before, and they were not initially considered to be contracted out.
If Zhao Yi is not contracted, the only way to manage these places is through government funding, but more than half of the government's financial funds themselves are used for domestic education, medical care and elderly care.
The remaining funds are needed to maintain the normal operation of government departments and invest in domestic infrastructure. Domestic highway construction is left to Zhao Yilai, otherwise it will cost more money.
If you want to manage the Yellow River well, you first need to solve the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River. If you cannot control the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River, no matter how you clean up the sediment in the Yellow River, it will be useless.
This is why for thousands of years, governments in various periods tried their best to effectively control the Yellow River floods. They could only watch the Yellow River bed continue to rise and could only continue to build dams on both sides of the Yellow River.
This causes the riverbed of many sections of the Yellow River to be higher than the land on both sides, turning it into an above-ground river. If the water in the Yellow River surges and the river overflows or breaks its banks, the problem will be very serious.
By then, thousands of miles of fertile soil on both sides of the Yellow River will have turned into swamps, and a large number of rural areas and cities will be submerged. This is why Yaoguang Environmental Management Company hastily proposed a plan to control the Yellow River before it became so serious.
Because if it is really close to a problem, it will be too late, because the treatment of yellowing cannot be successful overnight, and it will take a long time to complete.
Two of the tasks are the most time-consuming. The first is soil and water conservation on both sides of the Yellow River. This is the most important and fundamental means to prevent large amounts of sediment from entering the Yellow River system.
The second is the dredging work of the Yellow River bed. The main line of the Yellow River is quite long. In addition, not all areas have gentle water conditions, and the tributary water systems also require certain dredging work. The workload is very large.
These two time-consuming tasks cannot be done simultaneously. Before comprehensive dredging of the Yellow River bed, soil and water conservation work on both sides of the Yellow River system needs to be completed.
Even if not all is completed, certain standards must be met to ensure that even if the sediment enters the Yellow River, it will be carried into the ocean with the flow of the Yellow River and will not be deposited in the river on a large scale.
Otherwise, no matter how much money is spent on dredging the Yellow River, it will not be able to keep up with the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River every year. This will make the dredging work endless and the amount of money spent will be astronomical.
The only thing that makes everyone more gratified is that the places where the sediment entering the Yellow River is relatively large are the Loess Plateau areas that have not yet been effectively controlled. The amount of sediment entering the Yellow River in other river sections is still within the acceptable range.
A large part of the land on the Loess Plateau has now been contracted by Yaoguang Environmental Management Company. However, large-scale greening work has not yet been carried out, and only road construction is underway.
If we really want to see the effect of yellowing control in a short period of time, then the Loess Plateau management plan currently carried out by Yaoguang Environmental Management Company needs to make some changes, putting greening work at the front and road infrastructure construction at the back.
Due to the excellent performance of the duality plants provided by Zhao Yi, the greening work on the Loess Plateau is much more efficient than conventional greening work, and the cost is also the lowest.
They only need to use agricultural aircraft to sow duality plant seeds in the mountains and rivers of the Loess Plateau. Within a few months, a large number of grass-like green plants will grow, which is the first sexual characteristic of duality plants.
As long as a large number of herbaceous plants grow on the Loess Plateau, it will already have good soil and water conservation work, which will have a significant effect on reducing the amount of sediment entering the Yellow River.
After the primary sexual characteristics of these dual-sexual plants like grass, they begin to gradually transform into secondary sexual characteristics, and begin to grow from herbs to shrubs and trees.
This process will cause fierce competition among dual plants, and the growth rate can be described as racing against time, because once the competition falls behind, it will become nutrients for other competition winners.
The losers in the competition will slowly wither and rot as their disadvantages gradually increase, turning into nutrients to nourish the earth, and also support the winners in the competition to grow rapidly in the state of secondary sexual characteristics and turn into valuable trees.
In the primary sexual character state of dual plants, it is not necessary to use auxin, and the effect is not very great. However, in their secondary sexual character stage, auxin can be used to promote faster growth of plants. .
In the past, due to limited rainfall, the use of auxin was somewhat constrained, but now that rainfall has generally increased in northern areas, the use of auxin has become less restrictive. The rest still depends on factors such as soil fertility.
In this process, Fluctlight Environmental Management Company does not need much intervention. It only needs to start using agricultural aircraft to sow and plant. Later, it can use aircraft to spread plant auxins.
These tasks are actually the lowest cost and most efficient. They are much cheaper and more effective than planting trees one by one in the Badain Jaran Desert. It can even be said that the two are not on the same level at all.
When Yaoguang Environmental Management Company first managed the Badain Jaran Desert, Zhao Yi had not thought of this wonderful method and still followed traditional greening management methods.
However, the cost of this kind of treatment method on the Loess Plateau, which has thousands of ravines and ravines, is a bit prohibitive even for Zhao Yi. He has to find other ways to reduce the cost of treatment and improve the efficiency of treatment.
Then duality plants came into his sight. This was something he came up with on his own. Herbs have strong growth resilience and can survive well on land with harsh environments.
After the competition period, it enters the secondary sexual characteristics stage. These dualistic plants that failed in the competition can be used as nutrients for other competition winners, promoting the winners to grow better and faster.
It can be said that the characteristics of duality plants can effectively solve the contradiction between cost, efficiency and task difficulty, making it possible for Fluclight Environmental Management Company to change the Loess Plateau in a short time.
It was just that I thought there was still enough time to manage the Loess Plateau, so in order to sharpen the knife and cut the firewood, we first built the road infrastructure in the Loess Plateau area and then carried out the next step of governance work.
Obviously time waits for no one now, so the order must be reversed. Priority must be given to soil and water conservation in the Yellow River. It is not too late to proceed with other tasks slowly. Even certain economic losses are acceptable.
The reason why we want to build road facilities is that in a bare environment, it is much more convenient to build these infrastructures and the cost will be reduced a lot.
On the other hand, with these road infrastructure, the forestry resources within the contract scope can be effectively managed to avoid theft of forestry resources and losses to the company.
There was actually no problem with thinking this way before. After all, as a company, it is completely acceptable to give priority to its own interests, but now it is necessary to make arrangements that are beneficial to the entire anti-pornography work.
Currently, the seeds of these duality plants are reproduced on a large scale in the Qingnong Biological Laboratory. The relevant seeds have been piled up in their seed warehouse, waiting to have enough seeds available when they start to be sown.
In fact, the outside world is not clear about how Yaoguang Environmental Management Company manages the Loess Plateau, and most people think that it still follows the traditional greening plan.
If it is managed according to the traditional governance method, then it makes sense that they give priority to building road facilities. After all, if the roads are inconvenient or impassable, people and materials cannot enter effectively, and governance becomes impossible.
Now Yaoguang Environmental Management Company is discussing cooperation methods with the government. It is now determined that the government will take the lead and Yaoguang Environmental Management Company will be the contractor to manage the Yellow River water system.
It's just that the conditions haven't been agreed upon yet. On the one hand, the budget cannot be very accurate. After all, this project is too big, and it is impossible to accurately calculate the cost.
Of course, the government hopes to spend a small amount of money to achieve big things, and as a contractor, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company has to fight for its own interests. If the amount paid is too different from the actual cost, serious losses will occur.
And it is impossible for the government to let Yaoguang Environmental Management Company watch the flowers and then ask the government for insufficient money. In this way, the government is also worried that it will become a cash machine, and it is not in line with the government's fiscal budget plan.
On the other hand, there is the issue of navigation rights in the Yellow River water system. The government naturally wants to sell it at a good price to reduce its own costs, and Yaoguang Environmental Management Company has to calculate the gains and losses.
If it is too high, if you cannot make it back, or it will take tens or hundreds of years to make it back, then it is not worth it for the Fluolight Environmental Management Company.
People use water transportation because it is cheap. If the toll is too high, people will not use water transportation. It is faster than land transportation. A slightly higher price is acceptable.
Therefore, it is impossible for Fluolight Environmental Management Company to increase the unit price of traffic in this area in the future. This will seriously affect the traffic volume, and in the end it will not make much money.
The two sides have launched intense negotiations over these interests, and each will collect evidence that is beneficial to themselves, so it cannot be settled in a day or two.
Just doing this makes Zhao Yi a little anxious, because time is running out, and the best time to start construction is actually winter. After spring, the rainfall will increase, and the river water will not only rise sharply, but also the flow will become faster. quick.
These would increase the difficulty of construction, so he hoped to reach an agreement as soon as possible instead of getting entangled for a little benefit, so he thought of a way.
That is a fixed price. The government pays a fixed price, plus the right to operate navigation in the Yellow River system. At the same time, it needs to clarify its target standards. During this period, if the cost exceeds, the Yaoguang Environmental Management Company will bear the losses.
If the company uses new technologies to reduce costs and improve efficiency, that is what the company is capable of, and it is natural to make money.
In this case, the differences between the two parties will not be compared with each other, and only the approximate budget will be accurate, and the budget work in this area will be easier to do.
Finally, according to the data calculated by both parties, it will cost at least 500 billion yuan to completely manage the Yellow River water system. This is a figure recognized by both parties.
In other words, if the existing management technology is not improved, the 500 billion yuan budget will not be very profitable for the Yaoguang Environmental Management Company. If an accident occurs, a lot of money may have to be poured in.
Of course, if the Fluolight Environmental Management Company uses innovative management technologies to significantly save management costs and improve management efficiency, then there is still considerable room for making money.
So with the approval of both parties, the contracting agreement was signed. The government spent the lowest budget under current conditions to sign the agreement. It seems that it has taken an advantage at present.
Because under normal circumstances, the profit margin of such a project is at least 20%, because this is not only physical work, but also technical work. Ordinary companies cannot do it, and companies that can do it also care about profit margins.
So there is another thing behind it, that is, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company does not need to pay any taxes on the money it earns from this project. The government has no objection to this, but requires that the project must be independently accounted for.
This is to prevent Yaoguang Environmental Management Company from transferring other profits to the project, resulting in a reduction in taxes paid. In fact, they are overthinking this.
At present, the overall Fluolight Environmental Management Company is losing money. How can they have so much profit to pay taxes? Even if they develop a lot of financial resources, such as seawater desalination and electrolytic hydrogen projects, they cannot make up for their operating losses.
They are still able to support themselves because Zhao Yi keeps sending money to them behind the scenes. Otherwise, Yaoguang Environmental Management Company will cease operations in minutes.
When the two parties signed the agreement, they also held a grand press conference to explain our country's entire Yellow River control project in detail to the media. It also stated that our country has officially operated on the Yellow River, which has been difficult to control for thousands of years, and hopes to permanently solve this problem.
It can be said that this project is a blockbuster for the country. Compared with the public opinion heat brought by the robot, it is better to give in. The anti-pornography project instantly appeared on the major hot lists.
Yaoguang Environmental Management Company did not shout loud slogans, but told the media that they have sufficient confidence in managing the Yellow River water system and have a lot of management technology reserves.
As for more details, they did not disclose them. They just said that their governance process can accept the supervision of the media, and they also welcome suggestions from all walks of life across the country to provide valuable opinions for better governance of pornography.
This is not a modest statement. After all, three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang. Maybe there are capable people in the country who have good ideas on a certain issue and can save costs for Yaoguang Environmental Management Company.
Therefore, after signing the agreement, the official website of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company opened an opinion channel. No matter what the opinion is, you can submit it. As long as it is adopted and considered useful, certain financial rewards will be provided.
As soon as the suggestion channel was opened, a large number of enthusiastic netizens emerged, offering various opinions. Some were fanciful, some were well-regulated, and some used historical experience in combating pornography.
Since the number of suggestions is too large and complex, manual classification and processing would be very costly. Therefore, artificial intelligence is used in the background to filter the information and pick out the ones that are useful and can be used as a reference.
General artificial intelligence does not have the ability to distinguish which suggestions are of reference value, so intermediate artificial intelligence is used behind the scenes for classification and screening.
Yaoguang Environmental Management Company itself immediately transferred the excess equipment from the Tarim Basin and began dredging and transforming the key restricted areas of the Yellow River's water flow.
Because this is the simplest and most effective method at present, after this is completed, we will start dredging the main channel of the Yellow River and some tributaries, mainly to carry out dredging and widening of water systems and river sections where the amount of sediment is not very large. Work.
In addition, they changed the order of their management of the Loess Plateau and directly arranged a large number of agricultural aircraft, including their own, as well as agricultural aircraft from Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company and state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry companies.
Almost all agricultural aircraft across the country have been borrowed. It is winter anyway, and there are not many agricultural operations. Agricultural and animal husbandry companies can also earn extra income by renting out their own equipment.
For the Lucky Light Environmental Management Company, it does not need to spend huge funds to purchase these agricultural aircraft that will not be of great use in the future, but it can also spread dual-purpose plants on the huge treatment area of the Loess Plateau in a short period of time.
Mountains of binary plant seeds have been piled up in Qingning Biological Laboratory, and they are transported by trains to important locations on the Loess Plateau.
The Loess Plateau is a large area, and the area that needs to be managed and contracted by the Yaoguang Environmental Management Company reaches hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, which is a very huge area.
Therefore, the number of plant seeds that need to be sown is also very large. If the Qingnong Biological Laboratory had not been replicating and producing these seeds since receiving this task, it would probably not be enough.
In fact, when Fluclight Environmental Management Company used train wagons to pull plant seeds, it attracted the attention of the media and relevant government departments, and even attracted the attention of domestic sapling cultivation companies.
The media attention is understandable. After all, it is very popular now, and Yaoguang Environmental Management Company moves so quickly, it will naturally attract a large amount of media attention to this matter.
The government is interested in understanding how the Fluolight Environmental Management Company can control the problem of sediment entering the soil. However, tree planting generally cannot be broadcast directly. In this case, the survival rate is very low and the harvesting speed is also very slow.
You must know that although the Yellow River Management Project is a huge project with long-term management goals, in order to alleviate possible flooding in the next one or two years, it must have some short-term effects.
Therefore, in terms of water and soil conservation management, certain effects need to be seen in a short period of time. Therefore, these plant seeds that are taken away by trains are considered to be herbaceous plants. After all, herbaceous plants have strong vitality and fast growth rate.
Moreover, Fluclight Environmental Management Company has achieved great success in the cultivation and use of herbaceous plants before. Those deserts can be well managed, and the loam grass is indispensable.
It was only when the reporter interviewed the chief engineer of the Loess Plateau Management Project of Yaoguang Environmental Management Company that the characteristics of duality plants were described in detail for the first time.
As long as I listen to the characteristics of duality plants he describes, I feel that this plant must be artificially cultivated. It is simply a soil and water conservation management plant tailor-made for the Loess Plateau.
There is no such miraculous workmanship in nature. Only plants specially cultivated artificially can have such excellent characteristics. Moreover, this characteristic was very rare before, and it can even be said that it has never been seen before.
The relevant departments that had just signed an agreement with Yaoguang Environmental Management Company suddenly smiled bitterly after hearing the news. Sure enough, they felt that they had taken advantage, and they took it back later.
As long as the Loess Plateau is managed properly, more than half of the sediment problem in the Yellow River will be solved, or even basically solved, because the largest source of sediment in the Yellow River is soil erosion in the Loess Plateau.
The dual nature of the plants of Lucky Light Environmental Management Company not only solves their original problem of controlling the Loess Plateau, but also coincides with the current yellow soil control project. It can be said that they complement each other and save a lot of costs.
Although the value of these duality plants was not mentioned in the interview, anyone who knows Zhao Yi a little bit knows that he will definitely not plant some ordinary plants, as the overall benefits will be too low.
And judging from the cultivation of these duality plants, the economic value of these plants in the future will not be low. Because it is too low, he probably will not have much interest. This is the view of some people who know him well.
The Yellow River control project is a comprehensive project, such as soil and water conservation management on the Loess Plateau, dredging and desilting of river sections, etc., which are only basic tasks.
Zhao Yi believes that there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve the goal of navigable giant ships with tens of thousands of tons. He specially developed an intelligent software system for water control projects for Yaoguang Environmental Management Company.
Behind the scenes, intermediate artificial intelligence provides computing power and intelligent support, which helps Yaoguang Environmental Management Company to better build management solutions and solve subsequent engineering and technical problems.
In the future, transverse dams will definitely be built on the Yellow River to raise the water level of part of the river bed so that ships with more tonnage can travel with it. Longitudinal dams will also be built on many river sections, especially at the low-lying low-lying areas. This is inevitable. .
However, when constructing these projects, possible hidden dangers must also be considered. In the worst case, other solutions are needed to reduce the damage caused by disasters.
With the highly intelligent water conservancy engineering design software system provided by him, it can save them a lot of time and can also provide a role in checking and filling gaps in their comprehensive management plan. (End of chapter)
