Chapter 177 Energy ([-])

With the success of oil shale mining by biodegradation method this time.

The crowd applauded happily.

Li Qingye turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Gong, how much methane do you estimate the oil-bearing shale in Medan Island can produce?"

Zhang Hong thought about it for a while: "I investigated the geological survey report in Luzon before, and found that there are a lot of shale here. If it can be fully developed, it can be equivalent to 20 billion tons of crude oil in preliminary estimates."

Then she added: "If you add the shallow sea and some incompletely explored areas, especially the deep shale, the prospect of Medan Island can be equivalent to 60 billion to 80 billion tons of crude oil."

"In my opinion, with the addition of shale and igneous rocks in Luzon Island, the prospect can reach 150-200 billion tons of crude oil." Qi Yuanchao said with a smile.

Suddenly Li Qingye asked another question: "What do you two think of the rock oil potential in Hongshawadi?"

"Hongshawadi?" Zhang Hong recalled Hongshawadi's geological introduction, and then replied after a few minutes:

"The exploration of Hongshawadi is not comprehensive, especially the deep oil and gas, which is basically blank. If the company wants to invest in the future, unless it uses biodegradation to mine, otherwise even if a large oil field is discovered, the production cost will not be very low."

"In addition, there are many shale and igneous rocks in the Shan Plateau. If new technologies can be applied, there will be great promise in the future."

After listening to Zhang Hong's evaluation, Li Qingye also had a bottom line in his heart.

In order for Homo sapiens to support a population of 2.5 million or more in the future, energy is a key issue that must be considered.

On the basis of the rich agricultural resources in Southeast Asia, if we make up for the shortcomings of energy, this place can withstand the prying eyes of the great powers.

Otherwise, with only agricultural resources and insufficient energy resources, it will be an order of magnitude more difficult for Southeast Asia to develop without being coerced by external forces.

After Li Qingye completed this experiment, he boarded his small cruise ship and returned to Luzon Island.

In the south of Luzon Island, there is also a secret base drilling for igneous rock reservoirs.

Due to the need to guard against satellites in the sky, the dome steel structure can only be used to cover the mining location, which has caused an increase in costs invisibly.

But this cover-up is very necessary.

Li Qingye does not plan to use the biodegradation mining technology publicly, at least not in the short term.

After all, energy is the foundation of American Knife. If this technology is exposed, then America will definitely come to snatch it.

Before the hydrogen bomb was developed and enough hydrogen bombs were stored, he did not intend to confront America head-on.

Therefore, we can only use the dome steel structure to cover, and then use the methane fermentation plant as a cover, both of which produce methane anyway.

As long as it is covered up in the early stage and the output is controlled, the outside world will not notice the problem all at once.

In addition, the gas produced by Homo sapiens is mostly used in its own industries, such as engineering vehicles, transport vehicles, industrial boilers, and power generation.

This kind of usage data, the outside world will not notice the abnormality for a while, and Homo sapiens can completely "reduce" the data on paper in a planned way.

Homo sapiens still maintains a relatively conservative attitude in many matters, the purpose is to have a relatively stable external environment before consolidating.

Li Qingye presided over the secret development of rock oil in Luzon.

And on the other side is Hongsawady.

It is strengthening the secret exploration of oil and gas, as well as shale oil and igneous rock oil exploration.

However, the core energy source of Hongshawadi is actually hydropower.

After more than a year of development, the three major groups headed by Qingye Group have built a large number of small and medium hydropower stations in Hongshawadi.

In particular, the Shan State Plateau, which has a very large drop, is a key hydropower development area in Hongshawadi.

However, the hydropower in Hongshawadi has its own characteristics.

That is, small and medium-sized hydropower stations are the mainstay, and energy storage reservoirs are densely populated, and only support local power grids.

At present, Shanbei Hydropower Grid, Shandong Hydropower Grid, Shanxi Hydropower Grid, Shannan-Kaya Hydropower Grid, Chin State-Rakhine Hydropower Grid, Chin State-Sagaing Hydropower Grid, and Kachin Hydropower Grid have been formed.

These seven hydropower grids account for 97% of the hydropower generation in Hongshawadi. At present, the total installed capacity is 1.72 megawatts, and the annual power generation is between 1100 billion and 1300 billion kwh.

In addition, the installed capacity of the energy storage reservoir is about 2500 MW, which can store and recover 110 billion to 130 billion kWh of electric energy every year.

While vigorously promoting the hydropower strategy.

The number of thermal power stations in Hongshawadi has also increased a lot.

The Delinthary-Mon State-Karen thermal power grid, the Irrawaddy-Yangon-Bago thermal power grid, the Pinmana-Maguih thermal power grid, and the Mandalay-Sagaing thermal power grid have been formed.

The four major thermal power grids all use gas-fired power generation, with a total installed capacity of 8300 megawatts and an annual power generation of about 630 billion to 680 billion kwh.

Obviously, over the past year or so, the development of Hongshawadi's power industry has basically been in a state of rapid development.

We must know that before Homo sapiens company fully controlled Hongshawadi, the installed power generation capacity here was only 3700 megawatts, and the annual power generation was less than 300 billion kwh.

At this time, the installed capacity has increased to 2.8 MW, and the annual power generation has reached 1840 billion to 2110 billion kWh.

Almost doubled 6-7 times.

With enough electricity, there is energy to support modern industry.

……

As an engineer of Dongfeng Electric Company, You Xing was dispatched by the company to Hongshawadi.

He was busy at a medium-sized hydropower station at this time, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Phew, it's really hot here."

"You worker, drink some lemon tea." The local intern Mao Hao came over with a large box of iced lemon tea.

Unceremoniously, You Xing picked up a bottle of lemon tea directly: "This equipment has been adjusted."

After unscrewing the tinplate cap, he quickly drank half a bottle of lemon tea, and then sat in the rest area blowing the fan.

Other engineers or technicians are resting and chatting.

Ding Ye, who followed him, was having a lively chat with Mao Hao, You Xing knew very well what Ding Ye was thinking, if he wasn't too old and didn't want to move anymore, he probably would have that kind of thinking too.

Aoba Electromechanical Co., Ltd. did not miss Dongfeng Electric's corner.

As long as they are engineers and technicians with special skills, willing to work for Qingye Group, and their families immigrate to Hongshawadi, Qingye Group will help you with the naturalization procedures.

When Ding Ye first came here, he had no idea of ​​job-hopping or emigration.

But over time, he and some other young engineers, the mentality began to change.

People are afraid of comparison.

In particular, the benefits of Qingye Group are really very attractive to ordinary young engineers.

You Xing, who is in his 40s, was shocked by this kind of welfare.

The company basically covers basic necessities of life, food, drink, entertainment, birth, old age, sickness and death, and employees only need to work hard for the company with peace of mind.

Non-Qingye Group employees like them who came to do the installation work, apart from no salary, they enjoy a lot of other benefits.

For example, three times overtime pay for overtime work, high temperature subsidies, 5-day travel once a month, rich meals, free medical examinations, and three sets of regular clothes for each of them.

For some otaku-type engineers, they don't even need to consume such benefits at all.

Even playing online games and watching movies, the company can issue special VIPs to employees.

Ding Ye, who is not married, naturally couldn't bear it anymore. With the help of Mao Hao and other local employees, he planned to finish the hydropower station, resign directly from the company, and change jobs to work in Qingye Electromechanical.

And You Xing, who has passed the age of impulsiveness, has already bought a house, married and had children, so he gave up the idea of ​​changing jobs and emigrating.

For the young people's choice, You Xing also has a blessing attitude.

After all, it is human nature to pursue a happy life.
