In other words, maybe after a few years of east-west water diversion, the amount of water transported from the outside to desert areas will be less and less, and the transportation cost will be lower and lower.

After solving the problem of Danshui treatment equipment, he next needs to solve the problem of how to transport low-level water sources to high terrain without making the cost too high.

"Xiaobai, please tell me the cost and maximum altitude of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project."

Mu Yang directly asked Xiaobai's system, without him checking the information at all.

"Master, the middle line project, the east line project, and the west line project total 3,800 kilometers, with a total investment of about 500 billion yuan, and billions of yuan in maintenance and operating expenses need to be paid every year.

In this large project, there is also a large difference in terrain height, so some topographic and geomorphological difficulties need to be overcome during project design and construction.

For example, the highest point of the middle line project is located in the Shibishan Tunnel in Lingbao City, with an altitude of 430 meters;

Xingjiashan Tunnel, the altitude reaches 327 meters."

Mu Yang heard the answer and probably understood it.

Therefore, the entire process of water transfer from South to North Water Diversion is not to transport water from the highest point to the lowest point, but also to transport water from low terrain to high terrain.

So how to overcome the difficulties in terrain and landforms?

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project involves the construction of a large number of tunnels, pipelines and other projects.

Similarly, the total distance of the East-to-West Water Diversion Project is about 1,500 kilometers, which is much shorter than the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

However, the highest altitude is much higher.

In addition, in terms of water transport volume, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project transports approximately 9.5 billion cubic meters of water per year, or 9.5 billion tons of water, and 13 billion tons of water in the long term.

The east-to-west water diversion project planned in Muyang is planned to transport about 15 billion tons of water every year. The actual water consumption after the project is completed depends on local water demand and greening speed.

But 15 billion tons of water is far enough for use, and it will not be used up in the first few years. Artificial lakes can be built for emergency use or as a backup water source.

On the other hand, the mountains surrounding the desert area are very high in altitude, and the stratus clouds outside cannot enter the desert. This is actually good news.

This means that if a greening project is established in the desert area, it can effectively reduce the evaporation and loss of water and increase the utilization efficiency of water resources.

At the same time, because the water circulation system is trapped in the desert, Stratus will not travel to other countries, which helps protect local water resources and prevent water resources from flowing out.

It is estimated that by then, Asan Kingdom will want to blow up the Himalayas, but Hua Kingdom will not.

Now it seems that it really can’t be exploded!

If you want to steal our water, there is no way!

Furthermore, since the desert area is far away from the sea, it is not like the South-to-North Water Diversion Project where the clouds reach the sea.

Therefore, in the long run, east-west water diversion will be better and better.

From the perspective of project cost and transportation cost, the water consumption of South-to-North Water Diversion and East-to-West Water Diversion are not much different. The latter seems to transport higher terrain, but the distance it transports is much shorter, and the actual transportation cost at the final point is actually higher.

Lower.

The specific water cost depends on the transmission length. For example, the comprehensive water price of the middle line water source project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is 0.13 yuan per cubic meter (tax included). The comprehensive water price of the Nanyang section, the south section of the Yellow River, the north section of the Yellow River, and the entrance gates of BJ City are respectively

It is 0.18 yuan, 0.34 yuan, 0.58 yuan, 2.33 yuan per cubic meter.

If Danshui is transported to the desert, it is estimated that the water price per cubic meter in the desert will not be less than 0.15 yuan, but not higher than 1.5 yuan.

In terms of the total project cost, Muyang estimates it to be between 300 billion and 500 billion yuan.

After his analysis, it was much lower than his original budget of more than one trillion yuan.

In short, even if the water transfer plan of South-to-North Water Diversion is adopted, the East-to-West Water Diversion Project is still feasible.

Today, Muyang has solved the most difficult problem: dehydration technology!

The problem of water source transportation is not difficult. For example, if you want to extract a large amount of water from low-lying areas and transport it to high-lying areas, the most common method currently is to build pumping stations to convey water.

Muyang can also develop more efficient pipeline systems and water delivery equipment, resulting in lower water delivery costs.

If you want to save electricity costs, you can just use your own power station.

Since you want to build a water source in the desert, why not build a solar power station in the desert and then transport the power along the east-to-west water diversion route, which also saves the cost of redevelopment.

In other words, use other power generation technologies.

Therefore, as long as the problem of dehydration is solved, the east-west power diversion plan is feasible.

Muyang is not in a hurry now about power generation technology and water transportation technology.

The first thing to do now is to develop the magnetic desalination equipment and show it to the superiors.

Then, Mu Yang would put forward the east-west water diversion plan and seek support from the government and all sectors of society.

If you agree to divert water from the east to the west, spend achievement points to purchase new power generation technology and water source transportation technology.

As the desert green area becomes larger, Mu Yang can get more achievement points and get the desert green species rewarded by the system.

In this way, the idea is completely clear.

In terms of funds, Mu Yang made preliminary calculations.

The initial planned total investment of the East-West Water Diversion Project is 500 billion yuan, and the project cycle is planned to be 10 years, or even shorter. Mu Yang does not want to wait that long.

Mu Yang also roughly calculated the investment in desert greening projects, that is, if water resources are not included, how many people and costs would be needed to green 10,000 acres of desert.

The personnel and costs required to green the desert vary depending on the region and specific circumstances. If seedling planting is used, it will cost about 2,000 yuan per mu, and 20 million yuan for 10,000 acres;

Land rental fees may be non-existent or extremely low;

Labor costs mainly include tree planting, watering, fertilizing, etc., which cost about 1,000 yuan/year per mu, and 10 million yuan/year for 10,000 acres.

Technology and management costs include technical consulting, management personnel, equipment maintenance, etc., which cost approximately 1 million to 2 million yuan per year.

Therefore, the total cost of greening 10,000 acres of desert is about 25-32 million yuan per year. The specific situation needs to be accurately calculated based on the actual situation. The above data is definitely not accurate, but the error will not be particularly large. I have an idea.

Prepare.

If 5 billion yuan is invested every year, it will be enough to develop 1.6 million acres of desert greening, about 100,000 square kilometers.

If mechanical automation equipment is used for planting, and Xinghai Group develops robots that can fertilize and plant, then on average one person can be responsible for a thousand acres of desert greening projects, and perhaps more areas.

This 100,000-square-kilometer desert greening project requires only one to two thousand people.

If the degree of automation is lower, it is estimated that 10,000 people will be needed.

Muyang plans to invest 10 billion yuan per year, or even more, in the desert greening project.

In addition to solving water resources and greening problems, it can also promote economic development and provide a large number of jobs.

If the desert greening project can be successfully implemented, it will be a huge contribution to the entire society and the environment.

After thinking about it, Mu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched, feeling satisfied.

From April 11 to April 15, Mu Yang wrote two plans, one was the east-west water diversion project plan, and the other was the desert greening plan.

He writes primarily about technical reliability and financial issues.

The strategy department also needs to prepare a plan, which is different from Mu Yang's plan in focus. It may focus on factors such as policy, market, competition, etc. to ensure that the plan can adapt to the current environment and market conditions.

In addition, the strategy department may also consider the future promotion and marketing of the project to ensure that the project will receive good returns after its successful implementation.

At the same time, the plans of both parties need to be coordinated and integrated to ensure consistency and mutual cooperation between the two plans.

A few days later, the strategy department's plan came out, and the two sides met to discuss it.

Mu Yang took a quick look and found that in addition to the factors he requested, he also took into account things he hadn't thought of.

In the East-to-West Water Diversion Project, the Ministry of Strategy believes that the project requires a large amount of capital investment and technical support, a long construction period, and there are also some difficulties and challenges in geography, climate, and environment.

In addition, the project involves the interests of multiple provinces and regions, requires coordination and resolution of conflicts and interest distribution issues in various aspects, and has certain political and social risks.

Desert greening projects require long-term investment and continuous management, and have certain economic and social risks.

As for economic risks, we don’t know where the profit points come from. According to the information obtained from the current investigation, most of them are in a state of loss.

However, they believe that starting from the security and strategic needs of the GUO family and taking into account various factors, even if Xinghai Group loses one to two billion yuan every year, it is nothing, and it can be regarded as charity.

"In terms of future revenue, you don't have to worry, I have my own plan." Mu Yang dismissed the concerns of experts from the Strategy Department, "I have imagined the dewatering technology here to see if it is feasible.

I call it the magnetic desalination method. We first build the equipment and verify its feasibility before making other plans.

Of course, it is good for us to make plans in advance and avoid many pitfalls.

The R&D department develops equipment, and the seawater chemical plant requires at least 2,000 acres of industrial land, as well as sites such as water storage tanks.

You go to Jincheng for on-site inspection and discuss investment matters with the local government. We initially need several hundred acres of land as a test field and as the installation base for the first equipment."

"Ok, no problem."
