The Huaguo Desert covers a very large area, and how to control the desert has always puzzled experts around the world.

The most difficult problem to solve is actually the water source problem.

Mu Yang has a dream. If the sea water can be dehydrated, the water in the sea can be dehydrated and supplied to the desert, which directly solves the water source problem.

This idea is unbelievable and may even sound ridiculous.

But in fact, dehydration technology has developed to a very mature stage.

At present, there are many large-scale projects to decontaminate seawater around the world, such as the Jubail Kingdom in Saudi Arabia, Jebel Ali in Debah, and the dewatering treatment plant in Xinjiepo. These projects have all been successful.

Converting seawater into fresh water that can be used by humans provides an effective solution to local water source problems.

Several commonly used dehydration technologies include distillation, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, electrolysis, ice crystallization, etc. These technologies are relatively mature.

If this technology can be applied to manage the Huaguo Desert, it will not only alleviate local water shortages, but also improve the local ecological environment.

While the water source problem is solved, local vegetation will gradually recover, thereby improving the quality and landscape of the desert.

Therefore, Mu Yang's dream is not completely unfeasible.

Of course, realizing this dream requires certain conditions and investment, such as a large amount of funds, technical support, policy support, etc.

But with enough support and hard work, I believe this dream will eventually become a reality and create a better world for mankind.

Think about it, what would it look like if the desert turned into an oasis?

There will be large areas of green vegetation and clear lakes in the desert, the ecological environment will be completely improved, and desert biological populations will flourish.

At the same time, greening the desert can also prevent wind and sand, reduce the occurrence of sandstorms, and will be of great significance to protecting the ecological environment and human living environment in surrounding areas.

For example, there can be unlimited supply of land to build private houses, and everyone can live in a single house and have a few acres of yard, and the cost is very low.

As for housing policies, when the above conditions are mature, perhaps some policies can also be changed.

In addition, greening the desert can also promote local economic development.

By introducing tourism and agriculture, jobs can be created and local incomes increased.

At the same time, greening the desert can also improve local water resources, increase land fertility, and provide better conditions for agricultural production.

If Mu Yang can really change the status quo of the desert, based on this contribution and achievement alone, his efforts and contributions will be remembered in the history of various countries, and he will be the first person throughout the ages.

These changes alone can make Mu Yang's blood boil with passion.

However, there are many problems at present.

The biggest problem with seawater dehydration is that the cost is too high, so it makes sense for those countries in the Middle East to say that water is more expensive than oil.

The current cost of dehydration per ton of water varies depending on different regions and technologies, and is approximately between US$0.5 and US$3. This includes the cost of equipment, energy, chemicals, etc.

In Huaguo, as of the end of 2012, 95 seawater dewatering projects had been built, with a total daily production of 774,000 tons of dewatered water. Among them, the largest seawater dewatering project had a daily production capacity of 200,000 tons, and the cost of each ton of water was about 5 yuan.

The money, if converted into domestic water, would be much higher.

These Danshui projects are widely used in high-water-consuming industries such as coastal power, petrochemicals, and steel, as well as for production and domestic water use on islands.

In addition to mature technology, Danshui chemical engineering consumes a lot of energy and labor costs during the treatment process, which is also a high cost problem.

In addition, the use of dewatering technology also needs to consider the impact of the surrounding environment. For example, the discharge of wastewater and the treatment of salt residue also require corresponding costs.

A few yuan per ton of water seems cheap, but if it is used for planting greening, it is definitely not cost-effective.

If a more effective and economical method can be found to achieve dewatering of seawater, then this dream may become a reality.

For example, using renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy to drive chemical equipment, or developing more efficient chemical technology and equipment, are all possible ways.

At the same time, the government and society also need to give sufficient support and attention to create a good environment and atmosphere for greening the desert.

Although the cost of seawater dewatering is currently relatively high, Muyang cannot give up on his dream of greening the desert.

Of course, reading system level 7 has dehydration technology. According to the technical introduction, the cost is of course much lower than the current dehydration cost.

It can be as low as a few cents per ton of dehydrated water. If it is purified into domestic water, it will be slightly higher.

If it is used to plant trees, it is more cost-effective.

Generally speaking, a medium-sized tree needs about 3800 liters of fresh water per year to grow healthily.

So if it grows for ten years, it will require about 38,000 liters of fresh water.

It should be noted that this is only an estimate and the actual situation may differ, such as the type of tree, growing location, and climatic conditions.

But according to this calculation, a medium-sized sapling will require about 40 tons of water to grow vigorously in ten years.

If we use the current domestic technology, the cost of just drinking water is 200 yuan, which does not include the cost of artificial planting, water transportation costs, etc.

If 100-1,000 trees are planted per acre of land, the cost of greening water per acre in the past ten years will be at least 20,000 yuan. This cost is too high.

Using Muyang's technology, the cost of dewatering water per acre of greening can be reduced to about 200 yuan in the next ten years.

This means that using Muyang’s technology can reduce the cost of greening to about one percent of the original, which is very feasible and attractive for large-scale greening.

If the reading system is upgraded to level 8, there will be better technology, and the cost of Danshui will be lower.

In this way, the cost of dehydration is no longer a problem.

For Mu Yang, his dream is really grand and arduous, and he also faces some challenges and difficulties in practical application.

His dream is called "Diversion of East Water from the West"!

The overall idea is to extract water from the sea, dig a waterway from the entrance of Tangjia River in Jincheng City, Bohai Sea, and go west through Hexian Town, Renshi, Baoshi, Lingcheng...

Then pass through Yucheng, and finally reach Zhaganbulage Sumu, which is the Ant Forest No. 783. He plans to first turn this Dabulage Sumu into a swamp with a height of more than 30,000 square kilometers.

That’s right, more than 30,000 square kilometers!

Then use Dachagan Prague Sumu as the midpoint to extend the greenery to all sides!

The length of the waterway from Jincheng to Zhagan Prague Sumu is about 1,400 kilometers. The construction cost of this major waterway is more expensive than the eight-lane expressway. A casual calculation of the cost of this waterway alone exceeds one trillion yuan.

The challenges he needs to face include high construction costs, complex engineering construction, spanning many urban and rural areas, water quality monitoring and management, etc.

In addition, the water level at sea level is relatively low, so transporting water to high altitudes requires a large amount of energy.

In order to reduce water transportation costs and improve efficiency, some advanced technologies and ultra-large equipment need to be adopted.

Of course, it is correct to say that Mu Yang's dream is a fantasy.

Before starting the project, detailed engineering exploration and design are also required to ensure the feasibility of the project and the sustainability of the project.

At the same time, he needs to consider how to reduce environmental pollution and ecological damage during project construction while protecting the interests of local residents.

Millions or even tens of millions of people need to be relocated on the target map, which requires strong support from the GUO family for this century project.

Perhaps, due to various problems, his dream could not be realized at all.

Even if it can be built, the annual maintenance costs alone will be extremely high. Who will bear it?

But no matter what, if the seawater dehydration project is completed, this waterway can also solve the long-term drought problem in the northwest and the areas surrounding the waterway, which will bring blessings to generations to come.

The dream is a bit far-fetched, but this dewatering technology can be developed first. Not to mention our own country, the Zhongdong country needs this technology too much.

These countries are closer to the sea, have lower costs of obtaining water, and have lower costs of turning deserts into oases.

According to data from a market research company, the global seawater desalination market reached US$15.558 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow to US$21.757 billion in 2025. The Zhongdong region is the world's largest seawater desalination market, accounting for nearly 10% of the world's seawater desalination market.

60% market share.

Suddenly, Mu Yang received a prompt from the reading system.

He opened the prompt details and saw the specific content of this eternal engineering task.

The goal of this mission is to green large areas of desert (including the Gobi Desert in this case) and turn the desert into fertile land to benefit mankind.

[Tip 1: Due to the host’s strong desire and dream of changing the planet’s environment, the Eternal Engineering mission was triggered]

[Tip 2: For every square kilometer of desert greening completed, 100 achievement points will be awarded]

[Tip 3: Complete ten square kilometers of desert greening and receive additional rewards of three types of desert green plant seeds and cultivation techniques (details)]

[Tip 4: Complete one hundred square kilometers of desert greening, activate agricultural planting technology, and receive additional rewards of two types of desert economic green plant seeds and cultivation technology (details)]

[Tip 5: Complete the greening of a thousand square kilometers of desert, and you will be rewarded with the following technologies (optional one): a new energy technology, artificial gravity technology, two sets of Iron Man nanosuits, two sets of Spider-Man suits]

[Tip 6: Complete the greening of 10,000 square kilometers of desert and activate the physical object realization function: After using achievement points to purchase technology, you can spend double the achievement points to realize a set of physical objects; (If the system reaches level 8, the achievement points for the realization will be reduced.

Half.)】

[Tip 7: Complete the greening of 100,000 square kilometers of desert and receive additional rewards for the following technologies (optional one): anti-gravity technology, a million-ton spacecraft]

[Tip 8: Complete the greening of one million square kilometers of desert, and the following additional technologies will be awarded:?]

"Fuck!"

After reading the prompt, Mu Yang opened his mouth wide, dumbfounded, and couldn't help exclaiming.

"Oh my god, the rewards for this mission are incredible!"

"If I can control 10,000 square kilometers of desertification, it will be one million achievement points. Then there is no need to worry about achievement points. If I can directly realize the freedom of achievement points, and add the functions of physical objects, he can buy, buy, buy.

There are many black technology objects that he dare not think about and are extremely difficult to manufacture."

He was ecstatic, full of excitement and enthusiasm, and looked forward to it very much.

Earning 10,000 achievement points through normal means, according to the current situation, is estimated to take 30-50 years;

If it is one million achievement points, it is simply a fantasy. Even if you can live a long life, don't expect it in this life.

But if there is a way to manage 10,000 square kilometers, maybe it can be achieved in our lifetime.

Mu Yang understood the specific requirements one by one. How can one square kilometer of desert be managed well?

He checked the system details, which were somewhat similar to the national standards for desert greening. There were two main aspects:

1. Prevent the spread of desert: Effectively control and prevent the spread of desert to surrounding lands.

2. Repair degraded deserts and change the landscape of the land, turning it into a vibrant and vibrant ecosystem.

"In other words, it's not just about planting trees, but also allowing them to form an ecosystem that no longer requires too much manual intervention."

Mu Yang thinks this standard is a bit harsh, but relatively reasonable.

If we just plant trees, but still need a lot of manual intervention every year, the maintenance cost will be too high for such a large area. When will it be over?

He then looked at the details.

"After completing ten square kilometers of desert greening, we will additionally reward three types of desert green plant seeds and cultivation techniques, with about one hundred acres of physical seeds. These three types of drought-tolerant plants are easy to maintain, reproduce quickly, and have relatively low water requirements.

Hey, if this is the case, the difficulty of the desert greening project will be greatly reduced."

Mu Yang was pleasantly surprised after reading the details.

This is a big surprise!

Let’s look at tip 4 again. The agricultural planting technology may not be of much use to him on earth, but in space or other planets, if he wants to survive for a long time, this technology will become very important.

Of course, maybe Muyang can be handed over to the intelligent planting robot, but wouldn't it be better to know something by yourself?

Open the details of economic green plants. The first type of green plants are fast-growing trees. The growth rate is one or two times faster than that of eucalyptus. The roots of the trees can slowly decompose and swallow up the sand in the desert. Therefore, the quality of the wood is quite good. It

The economic value is very high.

Due to its fast growth rate, a large amount of wood resources can be obtained in a short period of time, and it can be widely used in papermaking, furniture and other industries.

In addition, fast-growing trees can help restore damaged forest resources and reduce land erosion and soil erosion.

The second type is super plants that can absorb air pollutants and radiation. They can be widely planted in cities and play an important role in regulating the ecological environment.

The economic value and social significance of these two new types of plants are multifaceted. They have undergone qualitative changes and are no longer simple plants. Therefore, they play an irreplaceable and important role in human survival and development.

The rewards from Tip 5 to Tip 7 certainly made him extremely excited.

In particular, anti-gravity technology and megaton spaceships were beyond his imagination.

The reading system can actually reward physical objects directly. Does it really have anti-gravity technology?

If anti-gravity technology really exists, the requirements for aircraft engines can be greatly reduced and more loads can be carried.

What the principle is, Mu Yang can't see the detailed introduction.

As for tip 8, there is still a question mark.

What exactly it is, the system did not say.

But it is definitely a technology or physical object that he can't even imagine.

The thoughts turn back to reality,

If one million square kilometers of desert greening is completed, Huaguo will reduce one-third of its desert area.

But if we can reach this level, global desert greening will no longer be a problem, it will only be a matter of time.

Of course, Mu Yang is also aware of the difficulty of this task. Not to mention managing 10,000 square kilometers of desert, it is not an easy task to complete 1 square kilometer. It requires a lot of material, financial and manpower to complete.

He does not know much about the composition and characteristics of desert ecosystems, nor does he understand the adaptability and growth environment of desert vegetation, but he also has a general understanding that it is not easy to control desertification.

Before, I was still hesitant about whether to carry out this east-west water diversion project, but for the sake of human environmental protection and sustainable development, Mu Yang plans to contribute his part.

He has always had a dream, which is to change the planet's environment and make it more beautiful and rich.

[Well, this is what he thinks in his heart. For the achievement points and the technologies that make him extremely excited, this task must be done. 】

When he thought of these rewards, Mu Yang's heart beat faster, his blood boiled, and he felt infinite energy and motivation.

This kind of task is challenging and the rewards are huge.

Half an hour later, he tried to calm down his excitement.

He hadn't been so excited for a long time. He only appeared when he was born again, or on the wedding night, or when the child was born.

But this time the excitement was far stronger than those things.

Because Mu Yang deeply felt his love and devotion to his work, and because this matter was extremely important to mankind, his thoughts had risen to a new level.

He began to think about how to start the project. He needed to make everyone aware of the importance of the project and get them all enthusiastic and motivated.

He decided to hold a meeting to introduce the goals and significance of the project to everyone.

He will explain in detail what impact this mission will have on the company and on future generations of humanity.

He will also highlight the rewards and incentives for this project, letting everyone know that their dedication and efforts will be recognized and rewarded.

Thinking of this, Mu Yang felt that now he could set up a research project team and start preparing for relevant work, and first find out the situation.

At two o'clock in the afternoon,

Mu Yang came to Zhou Chen and talked to him about the Danshui Chemical Project, but he was frightened.

"Chairman, this project is too scary. If it makes money, there is indeed a market in Zhongdong. But if it is in China, the market is not big." Zhou Chen expressed his worries.

Moreover, if this step was too big, he would not even dare to calculate the funding for this project.

Can it be completed in my lifetime?

Could it be said that the chairman just wanted to do something for human society on a whim?

Out of his long-standing trust in the chairman, he planned to find out his thoughts first, as he was really afraid that the chairman would invest money blindly.

Mu Yang felt the same. He had also thought about this issue, but he did not think it was an obstacle.

Even without achievement point rewards and those mission rewards, desert greening is meaningful.

It's just that he needs to be more cautious about diverting water from the east to the west. He doesn't decide to do it just after he comes up with it. There may be better ways to solve the water source.

"Mr. Zhou, I understand your concerns.

But we can’t just look at the size of the market, but also consider the future of mankind.

Moreover, the country has now put forward the concept of green, low-carbon, and environmental protection, and water treatment projects and desert greening projects are one of the industries that conform to this concept.

If we can grasp our technological advantages, master core technologies, and continuously innovate and improve, we will definitely have a broad market in the future.

Perhaps these human futures are a bit empty and unrealistic.

However, there is a very huge market for water treatment projects and desert greening projects. The specifics require further investigation.

Of course, I also hope that if I invest in it, I can at least recoup the cost, after all, this is not a small amount of money."

"Chairman, what you said makes sense." Zhou Chen nodded with great admiration, "So, how should we prepare for this project?"

Mu Yang thought for a while and said: "First of all, we need to set up a research team, with professionals responsible for investigating first, and then I will communicate with the higher-ups to see what the reaction is, lest we only have enthusiasm but the higher-ups do not support it.

It's no use either.

There are a lot of things to do, so I called you here first to talk to you.

A strategy meeting will be held in ten minutes to discuss how to start this project. There may be many omissions in what I said."

After Zhou Chen listened, he was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange the meeting first."

Mu Yang nodded with satisfaction and secretly decided to seize the time and start this project as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
