I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 510: Experiment in Transforming Plateau into Farmland

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Fei became extremely busy again.

There are two things on hand that are very busy right now.

One is about the solar radiation power station in outer space, and the other is about asteroid mining.

Space solar radiation power stations are now developing very rapidly. The electricity produced by Blue Star Space Energy Group is continuously sold to the world, making a lot of money.

The cost of solar radiation power generation is much lower than the current various power generation costs.

Whether it is thermal power, nuclear power, wind power, hydropower, etc., the cost of power generation is basically at least 0 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and many have exceeded 2 yuan per kilowatt-hour.

The cheapest should be the controlled nuclear fusion power station in the hands of Feiyun Technology, which costs only about one-tenth of the cost of ordinary power generation, or 0.02 yuan per kilowatt-hour.

This is already a very, very low cost.
However, the cost of space solar radiation power generation is even lower than this, and the cost is only about half of that of controlled nuclear fusion power generation, at around 0.01 yuan per kilowatt-hour.

The price when sold to all parts of the world is basically 0 yuan per kilowatt-hour, which means a 3-fold profit.

The key point is that electricity is a long-term business. It is not something you can use today and not use tomorrow.

There is a serious shortage of electricity in the world now and the demand for electricity is very high. Blue Star Space Energy Group has no worries about selling electricity.

You can just build a space solar radiation power station and wait to collect money. Moreover, the design service life of a space solar radiation power station is as long as 30 years. The longer the service life, the more you can basically just lie down and count the money.

Having tasted the sweetness, Blue Star Space Energy Group has been continuously expanding the scale of solar radiation power stations in outer space. Solar radiation power stations are built one after another, and when there is not enough money, everyone continues to invest.

There is no more profitable project than this at this stage.

In addition to space solar radiation power stations, the hottest thing is mining asteroids.

Through Feiyun Technology’s live broadcast, everyone saw the mining model in the interstellar space age, full of technology.

At the same time, the asteroid "New Era" did mine more than 900 million tons of silver, causing an avalanche in the global silver market, with prices plummeting, and metals such as copper, iron, and gold also followed suit.

Mining asteroids is very profitable, so naturally, everyone will not miss out on this industry.

In just one month, Feiyun Aerospace Technology Group sold more than a dozen "Hercules" spacecraft used to mine asteroids, earning trillions of dollars.

These two areas are currently the most popular.

Because the funds involved are huge, especially the investment in mining asteroids is huge. Just purchasing the cheapest "Hercules" spacecraft costs hundreds of billions, plus other expenses, such as building bases and smelting plants on Mars, etc., the various investments are huge.

Even these wealthy giants are finding it hard to bear and can't stand it. In addition to looking for partners, they are even planning to take their asteroid mining projects to the stock market for financing.

Through stock market financing, sufficient funds are obtained to mine asteroids. As for whether dividends will be distributed to shareholders when real profits are made, that is a matter for the future.

“Trading market for technology?”

"Third Brother is really confident. We stopped selling electricity to them, but they came to us and shamelessly said they wanted to exchange their market for our solar radiation power generation technology?"

Liu Fei couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Qinghe's report.

Since the rise of Feiyun Technology, it has received many invitations. Third Brother has also been very active and has sent invitations to Feiyun Technology Group and Liu Fei many times.

They invited Liu Fei to visit them to investigate investment, and repeatedly expressed their willingness to exchange the market for technology.

They want to use their market to exchange for Feiyun Technology's anti-gravity technology, solar radiation power generation technology, controlled nuclear fusion technology, virtual technology, etc.

They talked about all kinds of nonsense, such as that by 20XX, their population would exceed 20 billion, and they would become the most developed, powerful and economically strongest place in the world.

If Liu Fei invests in Feiyun Technology now, he will definitely make a lot of money. If he misses this rapidly emerging market, he will definitely regret it in the future.

Liu Fei naturally didn't bother to pay attention to their words. After all, having done business with them, he knew their tricks. If you really believed what they said, you would be cheated to death.

At this time, Nan Junpeng contacted Liu Fei in the virtual world.

In a virtual chat world, Liu Fei's figure appeared beside Nan Junpeng.

"Mr. Liu, I have good news."

When he met Liu Fei, Nan Junpeng didn't waste any words. They were old friends who had known each other for many years, and they were both very busy, so there was no need to waste time on polite words.

"What good news?"

When Liu Fei heard this, he also asked with a smile.

"Regarding your proposal to transform the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into an agricultural area, after extensive research, we have decided to first allocate an area for transformation experiments to see the results before deciding whether to promote it on a large scale."

"After all, our usable land has greatly increased. The transformed deserts and Gobi deserts alone have increased the usable land area by more than 100 million square kilometers, and both grasslands and farmland have increased significantly."

"We don't lack arable land now!"

"Moreover, under the development of counter-urbanization, everyone likes to go to the countryside. A major feature of rural life is the reduction in demand for market goods."

"If nothing else, the demand for vegetables alone has been greatly reduced. People have their own vegetable gardens and more people choose to grow their own vegetables, which is green, healthy and economical."

"So our need for adding new arable land is not that urgent, but we still need to research the technology so that we can use it whenever we need it in the future."

Nan Junpeng talked to Liu Fei with a smile.

Nan Junpeng is telling the truth, there is really no shortage of land now.

In the past, although the country's land area was large, a large part of it was plateaus, deserts, Gobi and other desert areas.

For example, the area of ​​Western Xinjiang is as large as 166 million square kilometers, but its population is only over 2000 million, because most of the area in Western Xinjiang is desert and Gobi, which are useless lands.

Now, through transformation, deserts and Gobi have been turned into grasslands and forests and into vast agricultural areas, greatly increasing the output of grain, vegetables, fruits and meat, enough to feed a large population.

Moreover, with the continued development of the western region, more than 200 million people have migrated to the northwest region, turning the former desert area into a paradise on earth, making the population distribution more balanced and the land utilization rate greatly improved.

Under the development of counter-urbanization, a large number of people have returned to rural areas. There used to be a lot of wasteland in rural areas, but now it has all been reused with the return of people.

These factors have greatly alleviated the pressure on land, and there is indeed no shortage of arable land now.

While there is no shortage of land, the prices of agricultural and sideline products such as grain, vegetables, fruits, meat and eggs have also dropped significantly, especially the price of vegetables.

Because everyone has their own vegetable garden, it is now very popular to grow vegetables in your own vegetable garden.

The vegetables you grow yourself are fresh, healthy, safe to eat, and taste better.

It's very simple. Most of the tomatoes on the market now are ripened artificially, not picked after they are ripe.

Because we have to take the transportation time into consideration, if the fruits are picked too ripe, they will rot on a large scale and cannot be sold at all, so the vendors will lose money.

Picking the fruits when they are not fully ripe and spraying them with ripening agents will help with safety and transportation, and they can also be stored for longer, which is what vendors like most.

As for the health of consumers and the taste of tomatoes, these are not factors they consider.

This is why tomatoes purchased from supermarkets often don’t taste as good as tomatoes grown at home.

You can wait until the tomatoes you grow yourself are fully ripe before picking them, and they are not sprayed with various chemicals. Not only do they taste better, but they are also healthier and even more nutritious.

When you want to cook, pick two. They are fresh and delicious. Anyone who has eaten tomatoes grown by themselves can clearly feel the difference.

In addition to picking before they are fully ripe, commercial products often also mean a single product. Many times the reason for choosing to grow a certain variety on a large scale is not because this variety is the most delicious.

This is because this variety has the greatest commercial value, such as high yield, amenity to mechanized planting, etc. As for its taste, nutritional value, etc., they are not the focus of manufacturers' consideration.

It’s different when you grow your own vegetables. You can grow whatever vegetables your family likes to eat. Not only does this ensure the freshness, maturity, and taste of the vegetables, but you can also take into account their flavor, nutritional value, etc.

The development of counter-urbanization is a good thing in some aspects.

Ordinary people can reduce their demand for commercial vegetables. There is really no shortage of land now, and the demand for arable land is not that urgent.

This is why they have not yet agreed to Feiyun Technology's plan to transform farmland on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

There is no shortage of arable land and food, but large-scale transformation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau may bring serious consequences and impacts.

Apart from anything else, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the source of many major rivers. The Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Yarlung Zangbo River and the Lancang River are all famous major rivers, and they all originate from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

There are still a large number of snow-capped mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Once the temperature rises and causes these snow-capped mountains to melt, what kind of impact and consequences will be caused? These factors need to be seriously considered.

Only after fully considering all aspects, conducting small-scale experiments, and obtaining a good research report and experimental results can we decide whether to proceed to the next step of transformation.

Of course, the technology can definitely be researched first. No matter what happens in the future, once this technology is in our hands, we can use it whenever we need it.

"Great!"

"Blue Star Space Energy Group has also built a solar radiation power station of a certain scale in space, and has reached the point where it can transform the environment on a small scale."

When Liu Fei heard this, he immediately said happily.

It has never been easy to artificially change the natural environment of a region.

You can cut down all the forests in a place, you can also clear away the grasslands in a place, you can transform the desert into grasslands and forests.

But it's hard to say you can change the climate of a region.

The temperature, precipitation, wind speed, etc. of this place are things that are difficult for humans to change at present.

The few artificial rainfalls also depend on whether the basic conditions are met. If there are no clouds at all, artificial rainfall will be useless.

Now we can artificially increase the temperature of some areas by increasing sunlight and radiation, thereby truly transforming the natural environment and changing the temperature and light in an area.

Apart from anything else, the purpose and significance of this experiment are still very important.

After obtaining the Void, Feiyun Technology acted very quickly.

Soon, Feiyun Technology, in collaboration with many research institutions, began conducting experiments on environmental transformation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

A deserted area in the northwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which belongs to the Qiangtang No Man's Land.

There is no one living in this area for hundreds of kilometers around it. It can even be said that no one has ever set foot in this area.

Most of the places here don't even have names.

There are a large number of snow-capped mountains with altitudes of 5,000 and 6,000 meters, and there are large areas of land. However, the snow-capped mountains are nameless, the land is barren, and no one lives here at all.

At this moment, large anti-gravity spacecraft flew in and docked in this wide basin.

As the hatch of the anti-gravity spacecraft slowly opened, a large amount of engineering machinery and a huge engineering team came out and began to get busy in this area.

In the sky, hundreds of small anti-gravity aircraft slowly descended.

A large number of people suffered severe altitude sickness and difficulty breathing as soon as they landed.

Fortunately, everything is well prepared. There is a professional medical team on the large anti-gravity spacecraft that can provide timely rescue. If the situation is serious, the anti-gravity aircraft can be used to immediately transport the patient to a hospital in the northern border for treatment.

Since the advent of anti-gravity aircraft, all kinds of rescue and disaster relief have become extremely rapid. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. This is definitely not just empty slogans, but can actually be done in a very short time.

Liu Fei, Li Xiting, Chen He and others got out of the aircraft and stood on a hillside overlooking the plateau basin in front of them.

"The entire area is uninhabited for hundreds of kilometers, and it's basically uninhabited even if you go a few hundred kilometers beyond that."

“This is an area that has really not been developed or polluted.”

Liu Fei said with emotion.

"Mr. Liu!"

"You didn't mention at the beginning that space solar radiation power stations can also be used to transform the natural environment."

Li Xiting looked at the barren area in front of him, then looked at Liu Fei and said.

"Haha, it's not too late to say it now. Anyway, it's not a bad thing for Blue Star Space Energy Group."

"Land is always the most precious resource!"

Liu Fei said with a smile.

Looking at the busy construction team, I saw that they were first building houses quickly. With the help of modern technology, they were able to build houses quickly like playing with building blocks. A large number of houses could be built in just a few hours.

At the same time, the engineering team began to set up numerous power transmission receiving devices on a high mountain. With this device, they can obtain electricity from space continuously.

The combination of anti-gravity aircraft and wireless power transmission technology can quickly build bases, towns, etc. anywhere in the world.

In the past, if you wanted to build a base in a place like the Qiangtang No Man's Land, it would be extremely difficult.

There are no roads here, so cars and trains cannot come in. Helicopters can come in, but their flight distance and time are limited, and their transportation capacity is limited.

It is almost impossible to transport a large amount of equipment and machines in.

This alone blocks all subsequent opportunities.

It would be different if we had anti-gravity aircraft. We could transport large anti-gravity spacecraft here, and electricity could be transmitted from space using wireless power transmission technology. As long as we were willing to invest, it would be easy to develop in this uninhabited area.

“Technology is developing so fast!”

"Tsk tsk, in such an uninhabited area, we can easily send a large amount of equipment, machinery, manpower and material resources here."

"That was something we couldn't even think about before."

"When I was young, I served in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. At that time, we didn't dare to enter the no-man's land, because if we entered, we might not be able to get out."

"There are no roads, no food, no signal, and the rescue team dares not come in."

Chen He looked at everything in front of him and sighed, recalling his experience as a soldier when he was young.

"Even the deserts and Gobi in the northwest have now become densely populated paradises. What else can't be done?"

"Such a vast area must contain a lot of gold and silver. We couldn't explore and mine it before, but now that the resources have been discovered, we can mine it."

Li Xiting smiled and said.

"Now that we have resources in interstellar space, are you still thinking about the few resources at home?"

Liu Fei smiled and shook his head.

"I'm just saying this. Who would still work hard on the ground to mine? Going to the asteroid belt to mine asteroids is the fastest way to make money."

Li Xiting smiled and said.

In fact, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is definitely a huge treasure trove. Its vast area contains countless treasures. It was difficult to develop them in the past, but now everyone thinks they are useless. It would be better to mine resources on the moon or Mars, or directly in the asteroid belt.

The resources on the moon and Mars can be mined at will, and the asteroid belt can also be mined at will, and they are all large and rich mines. If you are lucky in mining asteroids, it should not be difficult to mine an asteroid worth trillions.

This way you can make money quickly, so who would want to work hard mining on Earth?

While Liu Fei, Li Xiting and others were chatting animatedly, all preparations had been completed one after another, and they could immediately start changing the climate here and turning this uninhabited area into arable farmland.
