Chapter 565 Shocked by the national team, nuclear fusion is coming soon
The general's secretary Lu Junlin came to Luo Jia and brought the authorities' eager hope for developing the western region. However, what Lu Junlin never expected was that the Yarlung Zangbo River plan that Luo Jia mentioned at the press conference was actually just Xingchen Technology's Plan B. Their Plan A was to use controlled nuclear fusion, distillate seawater, and irrigate the western region.
Some people may say that distilled water cannot raise plants, which is a typical false proposition. Purification of water is definitely more difficult than restoring water. Besides, after creating a large number of surface water systems, the evaporation of water bodies and rebuilding a complete ecosystem are the core of this plan.
Even if you plant dense forests in the desert, you cannot be protected without precipitation and ecology. As we all know, Lop Nur was not a desert in the past, but also had abundant water and grass. However, due to the deterioration of the environment and ecosystem, it turned from green grass to yellow sand in the later period.
"He wants to turn the 400,000 square kilometers of Tarim Basin into an Inner Lake!?"
"Our whole country is only 9.6 million square kilometers!"
"The largest Lake Baikal in the world is only 3.15 million square kilometers!"
"Crazy, Luo Jia must be crazy!"
In an indescribable conference room, when Secretary Lu finished his report, the old men were stunned, as if they had heard something extremely incredible.
I had known for a long time that Xingchen Technology had a slogan that it would not survive without being crazy, but I never expected that they had become so crazy that they had completely transformed the west and created a Jiangnan water town of millions of square kilometers. This proposal far exceeded the authorities' most optimistic expectations.
"That's it." Lu Junlin stood on the stage, showing a heroic look and gave a positive answer. "Luo Jia told me that this will be a great attempt with great significance. By artificially creating giant lakes, it is very difficult to transform the climate in the west. Millions of square kilometers of land are planted, but if the climate changes, the most wonderful thing is to allow forests and grasslands to grow naturally in the west."
There seems to be some truth...
After hearing Lu Junlin's words, the big guys couldn't help but nodded, thinking that Luo Jia was crazy and bold.
However, they did not know that the reason why Luo Jia dared to do this was backed by the great plant civilization. His friend Lan Yu among the stars, by chance, mistakenly thought that Luo Jia was a legendary top professional and the leader, so he admired Luo Jia, and the resources of the Lan Yu and the plant tribe were the confidence of Luo Jia to implement this huge plan.
At this moment, the general was sitting in the back row. He wanted to stand up and pat his chest for Luo Jia's plan, but his life experience told him that he could not do this.
The more Luo Jia was in the limelight, the fewer opportunities he had to meet the general, and even the fewer phone calls. Most of the time, he was conveyed back and forth by his secretary Lu Junlin, just to avoid suspicion.
There is a kind of friendship that is not about showing it to others, but the more critical the moment comes, the more true the sign is. This is how General and Luo Jia are.
"Environmental experts have warned us that if we wantonly transform the environment, it may bring unexpected results. What do Luo Jia thinks about this?" an old man asked with a frown.
Lu Junlin smiled and raised his chin, "Luo Jia said, go fucking expert."
Pooh ~
Several big shots at the scene couldn't help laughing for a moment. The way of swearing in such a swearing way was indeed like Luo Jia's style.
While recalling what Luo Jia said to him, Lu Junlin said seriously: "Since 1990 AD, due to my country's crazy afforestation, the forest coverage rate has increased rapidly. As of 2018, the newly added forest area in my country is equivalent to one quarter of the Amazon rainforest! We have even wiped out one of the eight major deserts, the Mu Us Desert with a total area of 4.220,000 square kilometers, as a whole!"
"Netizens are very keen on planting trees in Ali's Ant Forest, but most people don't know that the Ant Forest project actually accounts for only one-thirty thousand of my country's plan to return farmland to forests! The ongoing projects of the national team are so intense that ordinary people can't imagine."
"After we have paid so much, what do those so-called experts say? On September 5, 2019, the headlines on the official website of Nature Magazine questioned my country's greening achievements, claiming that excessive afforestation may lead to deep environmental disasters, such as groundwater circulation exhaustion, etc.."
"This world is really magical. In the past, desertification was so serious that they were all peaceful. When we turned the desert into a forest, all kinds of concerns and doubts followed one after another. So Luo Jia's suggestion is to ignore any experts. The earth will not turn upside down just because we planted a few trees. In the history of the earth, carbon dioxide concentrations have existed dozens of times higher than that of now, not to mention the glacier period and the extreme heat period."
"This is not a question of whether we want to transform the earth, but humans have to transform the earth in order to survive. Otherwise, we will be extinct by nature like dinosaurs if we have another glacier period, or if the carbon dioxide increases by more than ten times, we will be extincted by nature like dinosaurs!"
Huh ~
After hearing Lu Junlin conveying Luo Jia's opinion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the so-called experts, Luo Jia said that transforming the earth is not an option, but an inevitable one, because if the earth is not modified, humans will sooner or later become extinct like dinosaurs.
Do you think nature must be like the wind, flowers, snow and moon, spring and autumn fruits?
So naive!
Don’t forget that nature also has a tyrannical and crazy side!
In this world, there are some things you have to choose at all. For example, if the stars and seas are to develop, human beings will inevitably go to space. For example, if genetic engineering and life sciences want to develop, they must intervene in genetic modification.
Don’t think that the world is big, there will be many choices. It’s not that true. If you don’t study hard, you still want to make a name for yourself in the future? How is it possible!
Lu Junlin stood on the stage and looked around this important conference room. Seeing the big guys' eyes gradually becoming firm, it seemed that Luo Jia's future inevitably made the big guys feel a sense of urgency.
"Although we have done a lot of work in afforestation, as of 2018, the forest coverage rate in my country was only 21.66%, which is obviously not enough."
After Lu Junlin organized the language, he continued to say in a deep voice: "Canada is 44%, Sweden is 54%, Norway is 60%, and our neighbor Neon and forest coverage rate is as high as 67%. In comparison, we are still far behind."
"In addition, Luo Jia also mentioned agricultural security. The 1.4 billion people must not only eat enough, but also eat well in the future. This requires more land that can be cultivated. If the pattern of the hegemony struggle does not change for a day, we must not naively place agricultural security and hope for the West. After all, it will be dead if we can't eat. As long as we are powerful, there is no one who is not an agricultural power."
Lu Junlin said a lot again. He felt that the senior management had been convinced by him. This was actually Luo Jia's credit. He just relayed what Luo Jia said to him in this conference room.
"So, when will Xingchen Technology start the Western Development Plan?" asked a serious tone of the old man with gray temples.
"Soon, after the controlled fusion technology is launched, all the technical reserves required for the development of the western region will be ready." Lu Junlin replied.
...
Chengdu, a famous and time-honored hotpot restaurant.
"From a health perspective, I don't recommend hot pot, especially the spicy pot bottom with a layer of butter. The fat intake is absolutely exceeding the standard." An Ran patted his stomach, which was full and drunk, and said unsatisfiedly: "But there is no way. Who made me from Sichuan? Hot pot is so delicious? Lao Xie, it's rare that you treat us to hot pot. It seems that the nuclear fusion project is going smoother than expected."
Dr. Xie Tian smiled heartily and nodded vigorously. As a famous workaholic of Xingchen Technology, Luo Jia and An Ran were taken off the bus by Dr. Xie Tian to eat hot pot. This is definitely an extraordinary scene, which shows that Xie Tian’s mental state is very relaxed at this moment.
"Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission." Dr. Xie Tian sighed and said: "It was originally expected that it would be the end of November, but now it is mid-September, and we have completed most of the technical tests. We can submit the company around National Day."
Luo Jia was overjoyed, "You are really there. Brothers in charge of the No. 2 plan, if you know this, you will be crazy! Moreover, I just discussed with the national team and prepared to start the western transformation project, and I am also in need of fusion generators as support. You complete the construction ahead of time and advance the progress of several major projects of the company forward."
Hehe~
Xie Tian was not good at speaking and drank half a glass of cold beer with a smile. Behind the thankfulness of fulfilling his mission, the nuclear fusion project team has put in a sweat, probably only theirs know.
Why is the road to science and technology called climbing a technology tree?
Because different technologies are intertwined and integrated, once key technologies are lacking, it will lead to difficult labor for large projects that the company has planned for a long time.
Take the No. 2 project as an example. In Xingchen Technology, any numbered project is of great significance and unprecedented.
Project No. 1 is a space elevator built on Weigu Island, Project No. 0 is a giant synchronous orbital space station, and Project No. 2 is the Starship.
Unlike previous space shuttles or lunar aircraft, starships are real large-scale vehicles between galaxies. Although space elevators and synchronous orbit stations can easily transport earth materials into space, if you want to cross the interstellar, transport the base module to Mars and transport the helium mined on the moon back to Earth, you must use starships.
So far, there are still three problems in Project No. 2 that have not been solved, namely controllable fusion, ion propulsion, and trititanium alloy.
Now, the controllable fusion is about to emerge, and its effect on the second plan will be too great. The brothers who hold their ultimate moves in Inner Mongolia will definitely be ecstatic.
Without a fusion reactor, there is not enough energy. The efficiency of propulsion by liquid fuel is too low. A starship weighing ten tons wishes to be able to carry seven tons of fuel, otherwise it will not be able to return after leaving the earth.
Although ion propulsion and titanium alloys are also important, they can be temporarily replaced by existing technologies, such as electrical propulsion with poor performance. Although the speed is slower, the torque is smaller, and the energy consumption is higher, it can still be used.
"Come on, I've had this cup!" An Ran suggested.
He raised his glass and drank it all, his throat twitched and his expression was excited. Luo Jia and Dr. Xie Tian also emptied the glass.
"I won't eat anymore, go to the base first to check it out." After An Ran put down the wine glass, he said impatiently: "No need to delay, stop the business car and we will take the bus. The bus will be fast and you can get there in ten minutes."
Luo Jia smashes her mouth, why does this sound so awkward, but it is the truth about China.
The air bus system is too awesome and has had a huge impact on the civil automobile market. Now, when it is a little farther away, everyone takes the bus, and driving by themselves has become a sign of slow lag.
Chapter completed!
