Chapter 380: Assumptions of the Nanqi North Transmission Project
Obviously, Li Chuan did not finish his words, and then said: "Compared to using nuclear bombs to explode the Himalayas, it is feasible to drill through the Himalayas, at least you don't have to worry about nuclear radiation. In my conceived structure, by digging a series of tunnels in the middle and upper and northern three sections of the Himalayas, it is drilled through a series of super wind tunnels, so as to block the humid Indian Ocean water vapor south of the Himalayas through the powerful pumping of the super wind tunnel, achieving the purpose of "south steam and north delivery".
"Building a series of super wind tunnels in the Himalayas is a major engineering stage, and the construction of gas pipelines connecting wind tunnels along the way. These gas pipelines can extend next to the seven deserts in the northwest like a ground network. This not only allows the Indian Ocean to obtain humid water vapor, but also enables artificial regulation of the regional climate. Which region needs more rainwater, controls the emission of water vapor by regulating the gas pipeline."
Everyone present was amazed as soon as they said this. It has to be said that this is a very imaginative idea and is extremely crazy. Many academicians and scholars have already emerged in their minds through Li Chuan's oral brief description.
In the future, the Himalayas will be penetrated by tunnel entrances. To the south of the mountain range is like a hornet's nest, and in the super wind tunnels within the mountain range, there will be huge air pumping turbine fans running day and night, sucking warm water vapor blocking south of the mountain range into the super wind tunnel to transport it north.
To the north of the mountains is a series of super gas pipelines, just like building natural gas transmission pipelines. However, the former transports natural gas, while the latter transports warm water vapor from the Indian Ocean. These gas pipelines cross the seven deserts in the northwest of the country, and gas pipelines continuously release water vapor to the local area along the way.
If a certain area has aggravated dryness and more water vapor is needed, and the other area is very wet, then a humid area can close the gas pipelines in the area to emit water vapor outward or reduce emissions, while another area needs more water vapor to increase emissions.
In this way, we can truly achieve manual intervention and regulation of the climate in the entire Northwest region, and there will never be a dilemma of being dry here, without rainfall for a long time, while the other place is extremely wet and has huge precipitation.
If Academician Zhao Anguo's "hiding water into the river" project can only slowly improve the environment in some areas, then the idea of "south gas delivery to the north" that Li Chuan just proposed is to fundamentally solve the overall pattern of dry climate in the country's northwest.
Because, in the true sense, the Indian Ocean monsoon, which is blocked south of the Himalayas, is brought to the Great Northwest.
At this time, an old academician supported his eyes and looked at Li Chuan and said, "Xiaochuan, your idea is very bold. At the same time, compared to the method of using nuclear bombs to explode mountains, there is no problem in laying gas pipelines. This is the same as laying natural gas pipelines. Our engineering team has laid projects for Siberian natural gas pipelines into the country. Our engineering team has rich experience in this regard."
"But the difficulty lies in the huge amount of work, especially in the project of drilling through the Himalayas, how many super wind tunnels do we need to dig to meet the demand for warm and humid gas in the Northwest? The project volume is huge, and the less is not effective."
"Another, every wind tunnel needs giant turbofans to continuously operate to pump water vapor, and it will inevitably operate all year round. So how to solve the energy problem of maintaining turbofan operations? There are also maintenance issues, can maintenance costs be afforded? Another objective environmental problem that cannot be ignored is that the Himalayas are formed by the squeeze of the Indian Ocean plate and the Eurasian continental plate, and the impact of active tunnels in the mainland plate must also be considered."
Finally, the scholars present nodded repeatedly.
Li Chuan's idea is bold, and it is really possible to manually intervene and adjust the climate problems in the northwest of the country, but as the old academician said, the project is not very difficult, several times or even dozens of times greater than the difficulty coefficient of the "Hidden Water and Entry into Xinjiang" project.
There are also international disputes. The most sensitive issue of "south-to-north transmission" that Lichuan envisioned is undoubtedly India. You should know that this has a military role. Originally, the Himalayas were a natural gap. If they were chiseled through and there were dense super wind tunnels distributed inside the mountains, then does that mean that the army could quietly reach the south of the mountain in less than a day from the super wind tunnel tunnel?
The answer is yes, it is its potential military value.
After a while, Li Chuan pondered: "I think it is feasible in the engineering and technical issues of tunnel excavation in the Himalayas. Huasheng Technology currently has complete artificial intelligence and fully automated mechanical technology, which means an unprecedented release of productivity and a geometric surge in production efficiency can meet the needs of multiple regions at the same time. Moreover, mechanical equipment will not be fatigued and can operate 24 hours a day. If the project is established and implemented, as long as the resources are in place, I can guarantee that Huasheng Group can produce a large-scale mechanical construction legion in a short period of time."
How can productivity be released unprecedentedly? That is all manufacturing industries in the future. First and second industries do not require human participation in production activities, but are replaced by fully automated intelligent machinery. All manufacturing processes are completed by intelligent machinery from product finalization to final product out.
Even if the mechanical equipment working on the production line fails, the relevant maintenance machine workers will immediately repair the faulty mechanical equipment.
It means that humans will not participate in any manufacturing production activities from now on, but create. More than 80% of ordinary people do not have valuable creations. It is not that they have no creativity, but that the things they create have no value. The valuable creation is basically only a small number of 20% of elites.
It has to be admitted that when the future advanced technology progresses to a certain level, 80% of human beings will not be able to create value for this civilization, or in other words, only 20% can truly promote the progress of human civilization.
This is a fact that most ordinary people cannot accept but have to admit. This is the social hidden danger brought about by the unprecedented release of productivity. If 80% of people have nothing to do, they will be empty, anxious, and irritable, and then they will be fed back to society by venting their emotions in their hearts.
Therefore, Li Chuan created a virtual world and a real partner, and his superiors also vigorously promoted their development. The fundamental reason is that they focus on the future of civilization.
When the future productivity of human beings is released like never before, the country can fully support 80% of the population who does nothing. Those who want to make progress can work hard to climb, work hard to improve their own knowledge level, and become an excellent group of human beings who are 20% to promote the progress of human civilization. If you are decadent, immerse yourself in the virtual world and spend time and go to the government every month to receive social security benefits.
The ultimate release of productivity will bring extreme material abundance, which is the inevitable result of the process of human civilization to a certain extent.
