I collect gold fingers in the heavens

Chapter 543
The heights of the two elders' stations are different, and they know better than Huang Yuping and the others how useful this technology is to the country.

As of 2020, how many seawater desalination projects are there in China?
135!
The scale of seawater desalination project is 165 million tons per day.Among them, there are 40 seawater desalination projects of 1452448 tons and above, with a project scale of 50 tons/day; 188894 seawater desalination projects of 45 tons and above and below 9741 tons, with a project scale of [-] tons/day; seawater desalination projects below [-] tons [-], with a project scale of [-] tons per day.

These seawater desalination projects are distributed in cities and islands in nine coastal provinces and cities with severe water shortages, and are mainly used for industrial water and domestic water.

Among them, the use of seawater desalination for industrial water is mainly concentrated in high water-consuming industries such as electric power, petrochemicals, and steel in the northern, eastern, and southern coastal economic circles; seawater desalination for domestic water is mainly concentrated in island areas and northern marine economic circles. Jinmen and Qingdao are two coastal cities.

The daily desalination scale is 165 million tons, which is only 6 million tons a year.

The scale of this desalinated water is just a drop in the bucket compared to the national water consumption of five to six hundred billion tons a year.

Compared with the national water shortage of [-] to [-] billion tons a year, it is also far behind.

Although the domestic water shortage is severe, the country does not promote the development of seawater desalination projects very much. The existing seawater desalination projects are more of a scientific research nature.

It's not that the country doesn't want to.

But the state cannot.

The cost of desalination is simply too high.

The ex-factory cost price of 4-5 yuan/ton will climb to six or seven yuan at the end. Residential water can barely bear it, but industrial, agricultural and commercial water cannot afford it at all.

If financial subsidies are used, the larger the scale of seawater desalination, the more serious the financial deficit will be. This is a bottomless black hole.

Therefore, the country has been afraid to make efforts in seawater desalination.

But now, the technology developed by [Chaoqun Group] allows the Second Elder to see the dawn of the future, which can effectively alleviate the increasingly severe water shortage crisis in the country.

The second elder smiled slightly at Huang Yuping, Guan Xuelie and the others, "Little Huang, you specially invited us to come over to see this project, is there a purpose? Tell me, what does Director Wu of your group think?"

The second elder called Huang Yuping Xiao Huang, but for Wu Siyuan, who was much younger than Huang Yuping, he called him Wu Dong.

The difference in titles represents the difference in how much the Second Elder thinks of them.

Huang Yuping was well aware of this, but he didn't take it seriously, nor was he jealous, Wu Siyuan's achievements made him qualified.

Huang Yuping paused, smiled, and said, "You really can't hide anything from your eyes!"

"After our group developed this technology, Director Wu considered that the structural water shortage in the country is still relatively serious, so he wanted to launch a large-scale [desalination plant] in the coastal areas of the country and around the saltwater lakes in the northwest!"

"Wu Dong really has a heart." The second elder sighed secretly, and said, "Wu Dong seems to be very confident in this technology. How much production capacity do you plan to build?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuping said, "The initial plan is to produce 60-80 billion tons of desalinated water annually, and the medium-term target is to produce 250-300 billion tons of desalinated water annually, because this technology of our group can be widely used in sewage treatment. , It is expected that the domestic recycled water production will also usher in an explosion in the future, with an annual output of 200-300 billion tons, so that there will be no shortage of water resources in the country.”

After the second elder heard the "ambition" of [Chaoqun Group], he was also a little surprised. At present, all the seawater desalination projects in China add up to an annual desalinated water output of only 6 million tons. The initial goal is to double it tenfold, and the medium-term goal is to double it fiftyfold.

It's not that he doubts the ability of [Superior Group].

As long as it is willing, the capital of [Superior Group] can also make it do this, but...

Only in this way, [Chaoqun Group] will have more and more influence on the country in terms of water resources, and it is almost a monopoly.

Not nearly a monopoly, but a substantial monopoly.

This kind of industry that involves the national economy and the people's livelihood is related to stability, and the state has always prevented private enterprises from intervening.

But... wanting to reject [Superior Group], it was very difficult for the Second Elder to say so.

Not to mention the performance of [Chaoqun Group] in the last flood incident, over the years, [Chaoqun Group] has contributed more to the country and supported the country than state-owned enterprises.

People are relying on their real ability to expand their territories.

The Second Elder really wanted to reject the [Chaoqun Group], I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts.

The second elder sighed inwardly, thinking about going back to a meeting to discuss this issue, his expression was still amiable, and he said, "It seems that you [Chaoqun Group] have invented a good technology!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"very good!"

"The country needs you young people who are brave enough to innovate, so that our nation can truly stand among the nations of the world and realize the great rejuvenation of our nation!" said the second elder.

But when the topic changed, the second elder said again.

"However, after the water is produced, it needs to be transported to places where water is scarce. Transportation is also very important. Xiao Huang, has your group considered this? If the production capacity is increased, but the transportation is not solved, it will cause serious problems. Serious waste of resources and energy."

"[Chaoqun Group] may wish to consider reducing the production capacity target first, and then expand the production capacity step by step after the water pipeline is resolved!" The second elder kindly suggested.

Huang Yuping smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "Second Elder, in fact, I also thought so at the beginning."

"But our Director Wu has more considerations."

"Oh! Let's hear it!" The Second Elder said, in fact, not only him, but the high-level people now value Wu Siyuan's opinion.

"Wu Dong said," Huang Yuping took a deep breath, and said, "As the weather becomes more and more serious, extreme weather will become more frequent, and the climate will become higher and higher in general."

“The algorithm system of [Elephant Weather] predicts that in the next year, the temperature will rise significantly in the whole country, not only the whole country, but even the whole world. Deficiencies can be exacerbated, causing a chain reaction!"

"It may be that some provinces and cities that rely mainly on hydropower generation, because the rivers in the province are cut off, cannot generate electricity, and eventually have to implement industrial power rationing."

"It is also possible that in some major agricultural provinces, due to lack of water for irrigation, large areas of crops have failed..."

The second elder's face became more serious as he listened.

[Elephant Weather] has proved its authority with property losses of tens of billions in a province.

How dare the second elder not pay attention?
