After hearing what Chen Yi said, Professor Yi felt his eyes spinning. Chen Yi came to him and described an exciting blueprint - to make the desert in Western Xinjiang disappear and completely change the climate of this land!
If Western Xinjiang succeeds, then there will be hope for several nearby provinces that are also troubled by desertification, and they will be able to add a new piece of fertile land to the country, whether it is a food production area or an industrial zone, which will be a matter of generations to come.
He has been working on related desert management topics, and he has some ideas recently. Just like Chen Yi in his previous life, Professor Yi from Shancheng University chose to directly change the soil quality, bind the sand into soil, and then plant various kinds of soil on the soil. Planting sand-control plants for greening improves the soil quality, slowly achieving the goal of changing the arid climate in this area.
We finally developed a sand-soil adhesive, but the cost of modification is still astronomical.
This is a matter of comprehensive cost that he has considered. It costs 2,700 yuan to turn an acre of sand into soil that can grow fruits and vegetables. This is already the cost after mass production of the product.
And this is only the cost of transforming the soil, the cost of growing crops has not been taken into account, and the cost wants to be reduced unless the production technology continues to make breakthroughs.
Finally, there was still the most fundamental problem waiting for him - not enough water.
In the end, he came back to the problem of insufficient water. He found that the project had fallen into an endless cycle. If he wanted to have water, he had to turn sand into soil in a large area, and then plant vegetation to regulate the climate in Western Xinjiang and increase precipitation. Reducing evaporation keeps water on the land, but this itself requires a huge amount of fresh water resources to ensure that the soil does not degrade.
Originally, this project was to solve the problem of lack of fresh water resources, but it turned out that the fresh water resources needed for the project itself were not enough. This has violated their original intention of using only a small amount of environmentally friendly resources to turn sand into soil. Add in the biggest cost, the need for fresh water, and it becomes even more impossible.
Only if the cost is acceptable can this solution be promoted on a large scale.
Professor Yi gradually calmed down when he thought about this. He was still a little too idealistic at the beginning, so he couldn't be lazy and take shortcuts. In this case, he should be prepared to fight a protracted war.
After seeing Professor Yi's face calm down, Chen Yi also slowly calmed down.
"Actually, I am mentally prepared for the related costs. Professor Yi, next we have to prepare for a protracted war. I will solve the water problem. I guarantee you that two million tons of fresh water will be transported from the outside this year. Entering Western Xinjiang, although it is just a drop in the bucket, it will double ten to twenty times next year, and will increase every year as time goes by.
I don’t expect to be able to change Western Xinjiang within a year or two, but as long as we persist, after a large amount of vegetation is formed on the desert land, the plants will be able to self-regulate the climate. This will further reduce costs, and one day we will all be able to achieve it. Long-cherished wish!
Professor Yi, I hope you can continue relevant research and strive to further reduce the cost of soil adhesives! "
Professor Yi perked up after hearing this and asked quickly: "How did you do it? Two million tons of fresh water will be increased ten to twenty times in the future?! This will seriously affect other areas!"
Buzz buzz——
Before Chen Yi could answer Professor Yi's question, suddenly there was a violent sound of propellers rubbing the air, and Chen Yi led a group of people out of the research center.
As soon as Professor Yi walked out of the door, he stared blankly at the strange creature in the sky. Several researchers who came out with him also stared blankly at the sky with their mouths wide open.
After a long while, Professor Yi said dumbly: "Am I still on Blue Star? Mr. Chen, tell me the truth. Are you sent by the m87 Nebula Ultra Kingdom to take me back?"
Chen Yi looked at Professor Yi in embarrassment. He was caught off guard and didn't turn around for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he couldn't help but laugh.
"No, I am the secret observer of the Star Alliance stationed in Blue Star. I found that you are of great value to the Star Alliance, so I am going to secretly kidnap you back to my hometown!"
"Ahem, this is all a mess, Mr. Chen, what on earth is that?"
The things in mid-air are indeed a bit exaggerated. A container with a size of 5.1 by 5.1 by 5.1 is suspended in mid-air. The box is suspended by three manganese-based phosphate-coated steel wire ropes with a radius of 60 mm, and the other ends of the ropes are Professor Yi and Several researchers didn't know how to describe it.
They feel like a brick flying in the sky. Is there anyone in China who has actually realized the joke "As long as the thrust is strong, a brick can fly into the sky"?
Oh, it’s not appropriate to say bricks, because this one in mid-air, well, let’s just classify it as a helicopter. The general outline of this helicopter in mid-air looks really weird from a distance.
The very flat water droplet streamlined fuselage is just like this in the air, making people feel like this thing has been pressed by a press before flying into the sky. The length of the aircraft is 26.36 meters, the tail rotor diameter is 6.52 meters, the tail rotor is 5.3 meters, and the rotor diameter is 32.00 meters, machine height is 2.56 meters.
In Chen Yi's previous life, if this picture was posted on the Internet as a promotional CG, it is estimated that the research institute that designed this helicopter would be criticized by colleagues and military fans around the world for the rest of his life.
But now they are flying in the air so grandly, Professor Yi and the others feel that something is wrong with this world?
Could it be that we have been in Western Xinjiang for more than half a year and other places have been quietly occupied by aliens?
Chen Yi coughed and said: "Professor Yi, you have also seen that this is a lifting helicopter Z-9 jointly developed and designed by 57 helicopters, aircraft, aero engines, and aviation airborne equipment under the AVIC Second Group. The eight-blade rotor system has a take-off weight of 18.6 tons, a maximum payload of 150 tons, a short range...ahem, a range of 1,200 kilometers, a speed of up to 350 kilometers per hour, a practical ceiling of 5,000 meters, and a single aircraft cost of 18 million. Yuan.
Currently, only the Xijiang Production and Construction Corps is equipped with them. Because they are still being improved, only 10 have been produced and delivered to the Xijiang Production and Construction Corps for transporting fresh water resources into Xinjiang. The container contains 120 cubic meters of fresh water. "
? ? ?
Professor Yi had an expression on his face that said, "I've never read a lot, don't lie to me." Although he was a bit of a layman about helicopters, he still knew some basic common sense. What is the concept of a take-off weight of 18.6 tons and a payload of 150 tons?
Currently, the Mi-26 is the most powerful model among all Blue Stars. It has a normal take-off weight of 49.6 tons, a payload of 20 tons, a length of 40.03 meters, and a height of 8.15 meters. Compared with the Z-9, both paper data and practicality are embarrassing to my grandma. Home.
Although he also hopes that the country can really be so awesome, he has to pay attention to the basic laws of the universe no matter what!
Also, you said it's still being improved, but why the hell are you just producing 10 of them?
This is considered the start of small batch production, right?
Do you still want to expand production capacity on a large scale in the future?
Chen Yi scratched his head and looked at Professor Yi and his group who looked unbelieving. He didn't know how to explain it because the things inside were highly classified. What Chen Yi just said can be said, but as for the things that cannot be said Something, Chen Yi almost let slip just now that he told Professor Yi that the maximum range of the Z-9 could not be determined for the time being. . .
But it is precisely those things that cannot be said that make this kind of design look ridiculous to outsiders. A 123-ton container was hoisted and set off from the coastal Jingu desalination plant in one go. It lasted more than 9 hours and flew more than 2,900 kilometers. When we arrived at Kailamayi, we didn’t make any stops in between.
In the end, Chen Yi could only say: "Everything is flying in the sky, what else is impossible?"
Professor Yi was choked by these words and didn't know how to refute, but then he became excited again.
Regardless of how this weird thing flew into the sky, if it can be mass-produced in the future and transporting fresh water in from the outside, although it may still be very expensive, compared with other methods, the cost will already be hundreds of times lower!
