Duke's joint venture, Oriental Qiyang, has made great achievements in the automotive industry and has achieved remarkable results in other research fields. The seawater desalination engineering design based on the Lotus Drop II has entered the equipment trial production stage. Most of the equipment used in the first generation of seawater desalination are relatively mature existing products, so the design is completed very quickly. Anyway, the most competitive differentiated components of the entire seawater desalination project are not in this aspect, but in the Lotus Drop II, which Duke has recently studied.

The second-generation experimental reactor of the new lotus reactor is being built in full swing and is expected to be completed before the National Day. If critical operation is successfully achieved by then, the second-generation Lotus reactor, which adopts a brand new technology, will have stronger competitiveness than the first generation. According to design standards, this can use the mixture of natural uranium mines and spent fuel generated by old nuclear power plants as fuel nuclear reactors, which will almost increase the utilization rate of uranium to the extreme.

Based on this seawater desalination engineering design, Duke added Bileme's seawater refining system in the name of system optimization, and used about 20% of the energy of the Lotus Drill to use the so-called pretreatment of seawater. In this way, the second generation of the Lotus Drill can use the energy output of only about 70% of the actual nuclear fission output energy in power generation and seawater desalination.

Even so, the output efficiency of the Lotus Relief Second Generation has been several dozen times higher than that of the current main nuclear power plants. It should be noted that the efficiency of existing nuclear power plants using uranium resources is only a level of one-point percentage.

It can be said that with this conversion efficiency, after connecting Shanghai desalination equipment, it can be realized to convert seawater into freshwater at a lower cost. According to calculations, if calculated based on the full life cycle cost, the cost of manufacturing freshwater by Duke's seawater desalination equipment can be one-half to one-third lower than the original system cost.

Although this cost is still higher than the cost of manufacturing tap water directly from the Tamsui River, it is already very close. If the Lotus Reactor II nuclear reactor can successfully operate critically, the seawater desalination equipment developed by Duke will undoubtedly be the darling of countries with water resources shortages.

Even if the second generation of Lotus Reactor has setbacks, the use of first-generation nuclear reactors is much lower than the current operating cost of using equipment in Gulf countries. Under this premise, Cai Siqiang has negotiated with the Arab oil tycoons wearing big headscarves to establish Gulf United Desalination Engineering Co., Ltd., Duca Heavy Industry has invested technology to account for 40% of the shares, while Gulf countries’ oil tycoons invested in cash and shared the remaining 60% of the shares. We will work together to develop the water resources markets of Gulf countries and Muslim countries in the Middle East.

This International United Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of up to US$20 billion, will select the UAE, where the major shareholder Prince Alva is located in the early pilot project. As the major shareholder who accounts for 25% of the joint company, Prince Alva is very active in promoting this project. With the consent of Cai Siqiang and other shareholders, he personally served as the company's president, using his unique political influence to carry out activities in the Gulf countries and cooperate with the other shareholders. He has now won the seawater desalination projects of the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in recent years, and has now entered the stage of engineering exploration and auxiliary engineering construction.

This is a contract of orders of tens of billions of dollars. It can be foreseen that after the project is launched, this seawater and freshwater market will bring stable huge benefits to Duches Heavy Industry, because in the construction of nuclear reactors, Oriental Nuclear Power basically provides complete sets of nuclear power equipment for the entire project at a cost of US$3,500 per kilowatt.

Cai Siqiang is worthy of being a business genius. He seized the opportunity and not only sold Lotus Reservoir nuclear power equipment in large quantities into the rich Gulf countries, but also became a guest of high-level political and business leaders in Gulf countries, and by the way, he opened up the market for Bangladesh's smartphone factories and smart TV factories.

In response to the luxury of this market, most of the products produced in the early stage of the factory in Bangladesh are high-end luxury products, especially for the Gulf countries, which are customized for thousands of dollars in mobile phones and tens of thousands of dollars in high-end smart TVs, which have been greatly sought after by these wealthy people once launched.

In a short period of time, the monthly sales of Bangladesh factories reached an astonishing hundreds of millions of US dollars. This unexpected gain surprised Cai Siqiang. You should know that Bangladesh's current annual export volume is only about US$20 billion. If this trend continues, SAL's factory in Bangladesh will soon become the largest pillar enterprise for local export and foreign exchange earnings.

Cai Siqiang's South Asia industrial layout inadvertently came to bear fruit.

Duns Special Machinery Company's research work has also made great progress.

After the finalization of the core avionics control system of the UAV developed by Duke, based on this avionics platform, Dunns Special Machinery took the lead in developing two unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

One is a small tactical drone. This drone, called "Jingwei", has a load capacity of about 5 kilograms, a battery life of more than 3-5 hours, a maximum cruise speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and is launched through a catapult. It can carry photoelectric infrared sensors to perform front-line reconnaissance on the battlefield, and supports the data link system developed by Duke. It has a small and flexible fuselage and is a battalion-company-level reconnaissance weapon.

One is a medium-sized battlefield observation drone, nicknamed "Wingshode" internally. It has a fully automatic takeoff and landing system, with a cruise capacity of 8-10 hours, a maximum cruise speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and a load capacity of more than 50 kilograms. This drone is equipped with photoelectric infrared equipment, laser indicators, and a long-range wireless communication repeater developed by Duke. A Wingshode drone can expand the distance of wireless communication to more than 300 kilometers. It is a battlefield monitoring and reconnaissance and communication relay tactical support drone developed for the brigade and regiment level.

In terms of communication subsystems, command and control systems, intelligent driving systems and intelligent target automatic identification, Duke has completely decrypted the Global Hawk's software achievements. On the basis of optimization and transformation, its actual performance has exceeded the Global Hawk's level.

The optimized efficient algorithm has higher response efficiency and responds very quickly under the domestic CPU and Nuwa operating systems. The ground control system can direct the drone to perform various tactical actions in real time. Because the body is not large, it far exceeds the level of manned fighter jets in terms of maneuvering dexterity.

Next, Dushi Special Machinery Company is preparing to develop a larger drone, allowing it to be equipped with a fire control system and missiles, and transform it into a killing weapon. The operators can completely remotely control the drone to kill people and rob goods thousands of miles away.

(Thanks to the book friend "When the Sun Lost You" for giving me a reward again. Your enthusiasm is like a fire, burning the passion I created. I will take time to add another extra to the weekend!)
