Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

After listening to Lin Kaifeng's narration of the development history of Longguo, Chief Mustafa agreed deeply.

Even when faced with attacks from both sides by the two major countries in the East and the West, Longguo has never stopped its development.

Dicheng has also moved from backwardness to modernity, and its current development conditions are many times better than those of Longguo decades ago.

"You have sufficient funds, a large port, and the support of other emirates."

"Tourism, petroleum product refining industry, and maritime transportation are all your strengths."

Lin Kaifeng said seriously.

Chief Mustafa interrupted Lin Kaifeng's introduction and said, "As you said, to develop any industry, we must first solve the electricity problem."

"There is only one wind power station in Dicheng. If we can't solve the power supply problem, we can't build a petroleum product refining system."

"Do you have any opinion on this?"

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said: "The electricity issue is indeed an important foundation for all development."

“Let’s not talk about heavy industry and light industry, let’s talk about developing the tourism industry.”

"A large number of tourists come to Dicheng for sightseeing. It's fine during the day, but if there is a power outage at night, it will definitely have a negative impact on the local tourism brand. In the hot summer, the hotel suddenly stops supplying electricity and the air conditioner can't start. I think no one can accept it."

Lin Kaifeng did not rush to answer how to solve the electricity problem. Instead, he took the initiative to talk about the power shortage and its negative impact on tourism and other industries.

"Your Highness did not order the construction of a large number of power stations before. I think it has something to do with cost and technology, right?"

Seeing that Lin Kaifeng's words hit the nail on the head, Chief Mustafa looked depressed and.

The mainstream power generation modes in the world today are wind power generation, thermal power generation, hydropower generation and nuclear power generation.

The above three power generation methods all present certain difficulties for Dicheng.

Thermal power generation requires a large amount of coal, and what desert areas lack most is not only water, but also coal mines.

There is not enough coal. Even if a thermal power station is built, it cannot be guaranteed to operate all day.

Dicheng is close to the sea and has rich seawater resources.

Sheikh Mustafa thought about building dams and hydroelectric power stations to generate electricity from seawater.

For this project, Chief Mustafa invited a group of power generation experts from the West.

According to the experts' conclusion, if Dicheng wants to build a hydroelectric power station, it must first solve an important problem.

Hydropower generation does not mean electricity can be generated just by having water.

It is necessary to master the tidal changes of the earth.

The difference in water flow caused by high tide and low tide drives the generator to generate electricity.

Tidal changes are affected by the gravity of the moon and have a certain regularity.

In order to make the power station run smoothly, it is necessary to have a group of professional technicians.

Understand the movement patterns of tides through professional analysis.

Using tidal motion to generate electricity.

Only some countries have mastered these technologies.

Dicheng must either develop hydroelectric power or train its own talent in this field.

Or introduce relevant technologies from other countries.

The cost of introducing technology is terribly high, and there is a high possibility that we will be strangled by the country that owns the technology.

Once there is a conflict with them, the other party may cut off Di City's hydroelectric power generation.

The only power station in Dicheng is a wind power station.

Chief Mustafa lacks relevant technical personnel.

This results in the electricity resources generated by wind being intermittent, and power outages occurring frequently.

The last type of power generation technology, nuclear power generation, is more difficult.

All in all, Chief Mustafa's Di City lacks high-tech talents.

There is an even greater shortage of skilled workers to service these power stations.

Simply hiring foreign experts and technicians is costly, but that is the least of the problems.

A series of unequal agreements had to be signed.

"Has Your Highness considered solar power generation?"

Hearing this, Chief Mustafa said with little interest: "I've heard that even some technologically advanced countries are still researching solar power generation technology."

"Mr. Lin, I understand what you mean. Desert areas have long sunshine hours and can indeed be used for solar power generation. However, this technology is very immature. If we introduce it rashly, it may not be worth the cost."

Many years ago, the Western scientific community proposed a new theory of power generation, solar power generation.

Use a device to absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy.

Solar power generation technology, which sounds like it has unlimited prospects, has no fewer technical problems to solve than other power generation technologies.

If possible, Sheikh Mustafa would prefer to introduce nuclear power generation technology.

Exactly.

Nuclear energy technology is not something that Sheikh Mustafa can introduce.

There are countless countries in the world that have the ability to build nuclear power plants, and only a few can be counted on one hand.

To build a nuclear power plant, we must first construct a nuclear reactor.

After completion, experts and technicians will be needed to carry out maintenance and upkeep.

What Chief Mustafa lacks most is intellectuals and scientists.

“Northern Machinery Company started researching solar power generation technology many years ago, and has solved a series of technical problems that affect solar power generation.

Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly.

Start strategic deception.

Solar energy technology is the only option to effectively solve the power supply problem in Dicheng.

Decades later, Lin Kaifeng once presided over a large project.

Build the first large-scale photovoltaic power station in Longguo.

When it comes to solar power generation, Lin Kaifeng has technology and experience that others don't have.

Photovoltaic power generation technology is not a problem at all for Lin Kaifeng.

As long as they get funding and the technology provided by Lin Kaifeng, Longguo's scientists will be able to solve the problem of solar power generation in the shortest time possible.

The bait was cast.

Next, it depends on whether Chief Mustafa can understand the implied meaning.

Provide funds to assist Lin Kaifeng in completing solar photovoltaic technology.

"Does your company also have the ability to research solar power generation technology?"

Chief Mustafa was caught off guard and his mind went blank.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Northern Machinery is willing to invest manpower and material resources in researching any technology that can be converted into a commodity."

"Solar power generation technology will play an important role in future human life. Why doesn't our company research such a promising high-tech technology?"

"Desert areas have little rain all year round, a dry climate, and hot temperatures. They have more sunshine hours than other areas. The amount of sunshine hours directly affects the energy supply of solar energy converted into electricity."

"With the power supply, His Highness can do everything he wants with half the effort, such as building tourism supporting facilities, improving the upstream and downstream industrial chain of oil refining, and producing various petrochemical products."

"Your Highness, please think about this. Di City has more abundant electricity than other desert countries. What should companies that want to invest in desert areas to open companies and conduct commercial activities do?"
