Chapter 473 [Accidentally Make the Incidental R&D Technology Leading in the World]

Ching Hai Lake.

This is the largest inland lake in the country and the largest saltwater lake in the country. It is formed by the fault settlement between Datong Mountain in Qilian Mountains, Riyue Mountain and Nanshan Mountain in Qinghai.

Qinghai Lake is located on a plateau, and the daily average temperature in July and August is about 15 degrees Celsius. This is also the most beautiful time of Qinghai Lake. Thousands of acres of talented flowers around the lake are blooming, and the azure blue of blue waves is scattered with golden bright yellow , The wild flowers of the alpine pastures are colorful, like silk, and countless cattle and sheep are fat and strong, dotted with them.

An eleven-member expedition team of the "Kunpeng Project" project set off here in July.

The purpose of their coming here is to investigate the current comprehensive environment, especially the environmental data at the bottom of the lake.

In a flash, it is now the end of the year.

Seven or eight working tents have been erected along the lake's shores, the most eye-catching being temporary signal stations.

"Brothers, don't make any mistakes, or else this year can only be spent here, Xiao Liu, go and get something to eat. The food is almost here." A huge work tent, supervised by the leader of the inspection team To everyone.

At this time, Zhengzhi was around 11 o'clock in the morning, and only two staff members were driving an off-road vehicle and left the work site. It is very remote and there are no people who settle down nearby. It takes two hours to find food and drink. Buy food at the local residence.

But even in December, they can occasionally see some tourists and many self-driving tours, and even curious people come to them and ask for directions.

Although the conditions are very difficult, being able to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and being with nature is also a kind of joy in hardship, that is, daily life is not very convenient.

At the same time, there were three people standing in the center of the lake, and a lot of equipment was placed on the ice powder lake. At the same time, they were dug out ice holes and swayed from time to time to prevent them from being frozen.

Ching Hai Lake freezes in winter, and it freezes in December every year. The lake cannot be opened until the end of March.

After a while, two staff members in wetsuits surfaced one after another, and the staff on the lake immediately pulled them up.

"The measuring equipment has been placed in the designated location. This is the last time. I hope nothing goes wrong."

On the other side, the organization of the inspection team also drove away with two assistants and drove three kilometers to the destination. The team leader was holding a paper map in one hand and the plateau auxiliary respirator hung on his body in the other hand. Take a breath.

I have been here for more than half a year, but the altitude sickness still made him feel a little powerless, but he has survived most of the year.

Fortunately, working in such a difficult environment, the company's treatment is impeccable. Everyone who came to work here paid an extra five times their usual salary and doubled their bonus.

"Boss, the final measurement data is available. Most of the annual sunshine hours around the lake area are more than 3,000 hours, which is about 700 hours higher than the latitudes east of Qinghai. The annual sunshine percentage is 68-69. %, the total annual radiation is between 171.461~106.693 kcal square centimeters per year, which is 10-40 kcal square centimeters per year higher than the North China Plain and the Loess Plateau at the same latitude."

The group leader nodded and looked at the front of the field and couldn't help but say: "This area is flat and open, with a large enough area, yes, this is the best location for laying solar mirrors."

The power supply for the underwater data center at the bottom of Qinghai Lake will be an independent system. Yes, it will be powered by solar power, and it will be a 100% natural and pollution-free path that embraces sustainable development.

In order to operate the underwater data center here, Bluestar Technology has also developed a solar tower power generation system, also known as a centralized system, which is equipped with many large solar reflectors on a large area. mirror.

It is called a heliostat in technical terms, that is, each pigeon is equipped with a tracking mechanism to accurately reflect the sunlight to the receiver on the top of a high tower, just like a sunflower.

It is hosted by artificial intelligence, and once it is built, no one is needed to manage it.

The condensing magnification on the receiver can be more than 1000 times, where the absorbed sunlight is converted into heat energy, and then the heat energy is transferred to the working medium. After the heat storage link, it is input into the thermodynamic machine, expanded and worked to drive the generator, and finally Output in the form of electrical energy.

It is mainly composed of light collecting subsystem, heat collecting subsystem, heat storage subsystem, power generation subsystem and other parts.

This solar power tower project, which is mainly used to supply power for the Qinghai Lake bottom data center, is code-named PS09. After the Qinghai Lake underwater data center is determined, the solution is proposed after discussing the power supply problem. So it was developed incidentally. The investment cost is about 1.12 billion yuan .

Then, the engineers of the "Kunpeng Project" discovered that they had accidentally turned this thing into the technology leader of the industry, and then discovered that this thing also has a good commercial prospect.

The person in charge of the "Kunpeng Project" swears that there is absolutely no other idea, but that the data center at the bottom of Qinghai Lake can use electricity.

In August of this year, a salesperson from Bluestar Technology went to Europe to promote solutions for commercial solar power plants. Spanish power companies showed great interest in this.

As for why it can accidentally achieve the status of the industry leader, the lens Bluestar Technology has successfully invested in research and development, the Sunshine collector is also successfully invested by Bluestar Technology, and the electrical tower is still successfully invested by Bluestar Technology.

Each mirror has an area of ​​150 square meters and can concentrate sunlight on the top of the tower built at 247 meters.

This so-called solar power tower, to put it bluntly, is a way to boil water in a fancy way.

Today, Bluestar Technology Group has long ceased to be an Internet technology company that only sells advertisements since the day of Allin cloud computing services.

The astronomical figure of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars invested in research and development each year is fake.

In the field of solar photovoltaic industry, Bluestar Technology is also inexplicably at the forefront. The technology has been developed, and there is no reason not to be commercial.

Huawei is one of its partners. Some of Huawei's communication base stations require photovoltaic power generation in remote areas. It was discovered that Bluestar Technology can provide excellent solutions here.

Needless to say, let's cooperate.

"Boss, come back for dinner when it's time!"

"understood."

...

Half an hour later, in a work tent.

Three or five people are sitting around at will. Everyone is eating and working, or discussing something, where the people are, where the restaurant is, and where is the work. In this difficult environment, there is not so much attention.

I saw an engineer staring at the panel data on the computer screen and said: "Measurement statistics show that the temperature in the eastern and southern parts of the lake area is slightly higher, with an average annual temperature between 1.1 and 0.3 degrees Celsius; the northwest and northern regions are slightly lower, and the annual average temperature is Between minus 0.8 and 0.6 degrees Celsius, the average maximum temperature is between 6.7 and 8.7 degrees Celsius, the average minimum temperature is between minus 6.7 and 4.9 degrees Celsius, the extreme maximum temperature is 25 degrees Celsius and 24.4 degrees Celsius, and the extreme minimum temperature is minus 31 to minus 33.4 degrees Celsius. ."

The team leader present grabbed the roast lamb and took a bite, and said, "Where is the moisture?"

Hearing this, the engineer who had finished eating quickly tapped on the computer for a while, staring at the panel and said: "The annual precipitation in the lake area is relatively small, but the eastern and southern regions are slightly higher than the northern and western regions. 412.8 mm, 359.4 mm in the south, 370.3 mm in the northwest, and 324.5 mm in the west. The annual evaporation reaches 1502 mm. The evaporation far exceeds the precipitation. The precipitation in the lake area varies greatly with season, and tax cuts are mostly concentrated in May to September. "

The group leader asked again: "What about strong winds and sandstorms?"

But for a moment, the engineer reported from the data report: "The number of days of strong winds and sandstorms in the lake area is one of the most frequent areas in the province, and northwest wind prevails. Due to the high altitude of the lake area, there are many west winds in the lake, and the high air has a great impact. Under the control of the west wind, the spring breeze has the highest speed. Under the action of the wind, the general waves are level 2 to 3, and the maximum is level 7 to 8. The number of days for waves above level 6 throughout the year is about 40 days."

The group leader finally asked, "Are there any data on the lake water temperature and ice conditions?"

The engineer report: "In August, the highest was 22.3 degrees Celsius, the average was 16 degrees Celsius, the average underwater was 9.5 degrees Celsius, and the lowest was 6 degrees Celsius. The data just measured showed that the temperature of the sub-glacial lake was minus 0.9 degrees Celsius and the bottom water temperature was 3.3 degrees Celsius. In terms of ice conditions, The ice cover of Quanhu New City has been stabilized since the first ten days. The ice cover period is expected to be 108~116 days. The historical data is the shortest 76 days and the longest 138 days. The thickness is generally 40 cm, the maximum thickness is 90 cm, and the maximum iceberg volume is about 10 cubic meters. The indoor ice completely melted in the middle."

The group leader nodded, took a new piece of roast lamb and said: "Tossing in this wilderness for half a year is to obtain the data you reported, package it and send it back to the headquarters."

At this time, another staff member suddenly said: "By the way, when you were out just now, a few people who claimed to be from the Geological Bureau came to us."

The team leader said suspiciously: "What's the situation?"

The staff member said: "It seems to know that we are working on hydrological and climate surveys here, and hope that we can copy the latest data and share it with the country."

Upon hearing this, the team leader said immediately: "Landplay, the budget of our investigation team is more than 27 million. These precious data are the company's assets. Besides, we have no right to decide to hand over the data and let them find the company. Let’s talk, the other thing is to lock up the information so that you don’t get downloaded secretly."

"Haha, don't worry, it has been uploaded to the company's cloud, and nothing is left here, unless one of them can break the security system of Nebulas Star-Cloud."

"Ha...I can finish work and go home in three days. If you want to go home early and hug your wife and children, don't make any moths at the last moment."
