I collect gold fingers in the heavens

Chapter 536 Water Treatment Technology

The sixth assessment report of the IPCC repeatedly reiterated that [climate change] is caused by human activities.

Human beings burn a large amount of fossil energy and change the current state of land use, all of which lead to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is getting higher and higher, which is equivalent to covering the atmosphere with a big quilt.

Therefore, the temperature will become higher and higher in the future, and there will be more and more extreme weather.

Studies have shown that the global temperature rise is likely to reach 1.5 degrees Celsius in about two decades.

Even if the [carbon neutrality] goals announced by various countries are achieved as scheduled, there may still be a temperature rise of 2 to 3 degrees in the future.

But to be honest, it is very difficult to achieve the goal of [carbon neutrality] announced by various countries. Regardless of international interests, in the future that Wu Siyuan sees, the European region that originally dominated the push for [carbon neutrality] , because of the energy shortage caused by sanctions against Da Mao, the price has risen, so I had to throw away the archway I erected and restart the [thermal power]!
The "Environmental Protection Girl", who had been making noise all over the world and made headlines in the world from time to time, has long since disappeared, and there has been no news for a long time.

This means that the emission of carbon dioxide will continue to be uncontrolled, the greenhouse effect will continue, and the global temperature will still rise.

The impact of rising temperatures is immediate.

Scholars' estimates show that by then, the once-in-a-hundred-year flood in Huaguo may occur once in more than seventy years, and the return period of the flood will be greatly shortened.

When the temperature rises by 1.5 degrees, 2 degrees, or even higher in the future, the intensity of the once-in-a-year torrential rain may become once in a few months, and extreme weather will become more frequent and more intense, which means more Cities will face the risk of urban flooding.

The occurrence and frequency of extreme weather will increase.

For example, in Yue Province, where the headquarters of [Chaoqun Group] is located, the risk of high temperature and heat waves is rapidly increasing.

Before 2000, the number of heat wave days in Vietnam was about 5 to 6 days. By 2020, the number of high temperature and heat wave days has risen to about 25 days.

If it continues to develop, when the temperature rises by 1.5 to 2 degrees, the number of high-temperature heat waves in Vietnam may last as long as two to three months or even longer.

Wu Siyuan has already seen this high temperature change in 2022.

How serious will extreme heat be in 2022?
From South and East Asia to continental Europe, the UK and North America, most of the northern hemisphere has entered "stove" mode.

The phenomenon of "dead heat" in Spain continues. In July 2022 alone, more than 7 people died of high temperature weather; many European countries, including Germany, France, and Spain, have encountered severe droughts, and the Rhine River will be partially cut off from Friday. Aviation, and as the disaster continues to worsen, the energy utilization based on water resources in various countries has also encountered difficulties.

In addition, in July this year, the temperature in the Arctic Circle once soared to 7 degrees Celsius, and short sleeves could be worn.

The territory of Huaguo is not much better!
In the summer of 2022, compared with the same period in previous years, the temperature will be 3 to 5 degrees higher, and the north will remain about the same as usual, while the south will experience many extreme hot weather.

The temperature in many southern provinces and cities is very high, and some even reach 42 degrees.

Under such circumstances, water shortages have occurred in many parts of the country, rivers have stopped flowing, and reservoirs have dried up, which has a very large impact on the economy and even more serious impact on agriculture.

【Chaoqun Group】The development has been getting better and better over the years, but the foundation is still in agriculture.

How can agriculture be used for lack of water?
Now that Wu Siyuan has foreseen the future situation, it is necessary to plan ahead!

With a thought, he got up from the bed and went to the study.

Lin Meiyi noticed the movement and came out of the kitchen to ask him. He smiled and said he was busy with work.

Lin Meiyi nodded and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

Speaking of which, Lin Meiyi is also in her forties, but because of Wu Siyuan's special care and frequent consumption of high-strength spiritual energy food, she is getting older and younger now.

It used to look like thirty-five or sixty-five, but now it looks like it is in its early thirties, but it has more charm.

In addition, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and there are no worries in life. At work, she is the financial director of [Super Group]. Although she is a little lacking in ability, under the secret guidance of [Four-Armed King Kong] Wu Siyuan, the problem is not too big. , so the mood has been very happy.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...........

Wu Siyuan went into his study and turned on the computer.

[Four-armed Vajra]'s profile picture popped up.

Because [Chaoqun Group] has too many business lines now, Wu Siyuan thought for a while, and remembered a certain technology he brought from the world of [The Martian], so he asked aloud.

That's the end of 2020.

Wu Siyuan traveled to the world of "The Martian" around December 2020. After staying in that world for a few years, he gained a lot of space-related technology and then returned to the real world.

No matter how long he stayed in the crossing world, the timeline of his return was the next morning.

Because Wu Siyuan discovered that some of the technologies brought back from [The Martian] could better optimize certain businesses of [Super Group], so he threw it to relevant laboratories of [Super Group] for research .

Counting it, it has been six or seven months.

These days, Wu Siyuan was busy dealing with the flood in Yu Province, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Just when Wu Siyuan saw the extreme high temperature from the future, he remembered it.

This technology actually comes from the water recovery device in the Mars habitat.

This set of water recovery equipment can recycle more than 99% of the used water. The core is a graphene film with a binary structure, which has strong selective separation efficiency and satisfactory mechanical strength. It controls the pore size of porous graphene And adding other materials to it can change the properties of the edges of the graphene pores so that they can repel or attract water molecules.

It is used for water recycling in the Martian habitat, but on Earth in the world of [The Martian], it is used for desalination of sea water.

No matter what kind of seawater it is, when it passes through this graphene film, the water flow speed is very fast, and the water molecules can be accurately penetrated, while the remaining components are filtered out, and the filtration efficiency can reach 99.7%!

This is a very satisfying result.

It can even be said that the filtered water can be directly drunk as long as it is simply treated.

The world of [The Martian] combines this technology with photovoltaic power generation technology, and the result is that the cost of seawater desalination is greatly reduced, and the lowest can reach 3 cents per ton.

In the real world, even the most advanced seawater desalination technology costs 3-5 yuan/ton!
The difference is ten times!
