Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

"You two, most of your Libyans are desert areas, with drought and little rain, and the population lives on the Mediterranean coast in the north. But under the desert in the south, there is a large amount of groundwater resources, which is a gift of nature. So Ka My husband has just launched a large artificial river project, hoping to transport fresh water from the southern desert to the north to solve the water shortage problem in the north. The original intention of this matter is good, but in my opinion, the method is too expensive and inappropriate, and the gain outweighs the loss. It’s a bit wasteful of people and money.”

Xu Huasheng's words made the two of them curious. They looked at Xu Huasheng one by one, waiting for Xu Huasheng's answer.

"First of all, the investment in this project is huge, and there is no other financing. All the money is paid by your government. In fact, the people who ultimately pay for this project are the ordinary people of Libya. This envy costs a lot, and ordinary people may not understand that this project is very valuable. It may be a thankless effort and the people will not buy it.”

Xu Huasheng's words made the two of them think deeply. In fact, the large man-made river project ended in vain, and it was really thankless. In the end, it did not solve Libya's water problem. Instead, it left a lot of mess in the end, and even made Kaduo Zuo lose. What a great title.

This reminded Xu Huasheng of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. It should have been the same when he dug the Grand Canal. In fact, if the large man-made river project is properly operated, it will also have this effect. Unfortunately, the Libyan government did not operate this project well.

"Secondly, the main purpose of the large artificial river project is to solve the problem of fresh water. But there are too many solutions that can solve the problem of fresh water. For example, China has built an experimental project in Saudi Arabia for the desalination project. You can go and take a look. The plan is very simple. We only need to build large-scale desalination plants on the seaside and large-scale photovoltaic power stations in desert areas to solve the fresh water problem. This project can not only solve the fresh water problem, but also solve the power problem and solve the soil desertification problem..."

With that said, Xu Huasheng took out some information again, which was an experimental project in Saudi Arabia. Now the scale of this project is getting bigger and bigger, the photovoltaic power stations are getting bigger and bigger, the desalination plants are getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of fresh water desalinated every day is also getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing this information, the two of them looked shocked. Especially when they saw the green grass and sheep under the photovoltaic power station, they were really attracted.

Desert, the most indispensable thing in Libya is desert.

If the Libyan desert can be utilized, then the fresh water problem can be solved directly. The seawater is inexhaustible and is much richer than the groundwater resources in the southern desert.

Moreover, photovoltaic power generation can also solve the power problem. In fact, Libya is not only short of water but also short of electricity.

Looking at the information in Xu Huasheng's hands, the two of them suddenly felt that the large man-made river project was indeed a bit outweighed by the gains and losses, and that it was a bit far-fetched at the expense of the near.

The expressions of these two people made Xu Huasheng's lips curl up, ready for more surprises.

"You two, if I were to run this project, I would not spend so much money to bring the southern water to the northern coastal areas. I would use the fresh water in the south and use the money to build a new city in the southern desert. , and move the capital directly to the new city..."

When Xu Huasheng said these words, it was like thunder on the ground, leaving Xiaoka and Alkofi stunned, with shock written on their faces. Looking at the expressions of the two people, Xu Huasheng felt happy.

"You two, look..."

Xu Huasheng pointed to the map on the table. It was a world map, but Xu Huasheng had drawn many things on it.

"There is a large amount of groundwater under the desert in southern Libya. This is a gift from this land to you. With water, all problems can be easily solved. We in China have advanced soilless planting technology, which can completely allow you to grow in the desert. Enough food can be grown in the desert. You see, if you build enough photovoltaic greenhouses in the desert, grow food, vegetables and fruits in the greenhouses, and lay photovoltaic panels on the top of the greenhouses to generate electricity. As long as you make use of your desert areas, you can grow more food The scale is very large, and the amount of electricity it generates is also very large. Building a few more thermal power plants will completely solve the power and food problem in the new city. And you should know better than me what electricity and food represent in Africa... …”

Xu Huasheng looked at the two people, and they took a deep breath.

Electricity and food are very precious things for African countries. It is more precious than oil, because a country may have a lot of oil, but it may not have a lot of food or electricity. In African countries, there are many countries with oil, but many countries with oil are still in extreme poverty. At this stage, many people still don’t have enough to eat.

"Enough food, enough electricity, and enough fresh water are the basis for building a new city. If the money for building a large artificial river is used to build a modern city in the desert, it will be more cost-effective. And surrounding this city, You can build your own industrial zones, such as the petrochemical industry. Libya has a lot of oil and can develop the petrochemical industry. In addition to the petrochemical industry, you can also develop the metallurgical industry. Although Libya does not have enough mineral resources, neighboring countries do. Sudan, Chad, Algeria and other countries have a lot of mineral resources..."

Xu Huasheng picked up the pen and started drawing on the map, while Xiaoka and Alkofi listened extremely seriously.

"When development is almost complete, you can also build a few railways to connect neighboring countries, such as building a railway connecting Libya and Nigeria. This railway runs through Chad and connects to Nigeria. Nigeria not only has rich mineral resources, but also has a sufficient population. A sufficient population is the market. When the time comes, the industrial products you produce can be sold directly to these places, making them more competitive. Use the industrial products you produce to exchange for their primary resources, and then use these primary resources to produce more industrial products. , this is the development model of developed countries. At the same time, this kind of economic cooperation can also improve the relationship between you and increase Libya's influence in these countries. Only by making neighboring countries feel the benefits and feel that following you in Libya is beneficial, Only then will they truly recognize you as the boss of Libya and stand on Libya's side. When the time comes, Mr. Ka's wish to be the king of kings will naturally come true, and everyone will sincerely support him..."

Xu Huasheng began to describe an unprecedented pie to the two people. The picture of this pie made Xiaoka and Alcoffi stunned. Because they have never seen such a big cake, it is too tempting.
