Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 299
Raff looked at the silence below, and suddenly said with some dissatisfaction:
"Say it all, Akira, you go first."

The person in charge of the technical department who was named said helplessly:
"Originally, our reservoir in the eastern part of the Great Dividing Range could satisfy some areas, but this year's climate is too abnormal. South America and Central Africa are flooded, while Asia and us are experiencing drought..."

"Stop, I don't want to hear why there is a drought or flood, I just want to know how to solve this problem." Raff interrupted the other party's long speech.

Akira suddenly smiled awkwardly: "I suggest artificial rainfall."

"Artificial rainfall?" Raff looked at Carlos, the head of the meteorological department.

Carlos shook his head and explained: "There are not many clouds now, even if it is artificial rainfall, there is not much rain."

"I heard that the East Tang people's seawater desalination technology is very powerful. If we can introduce this technology, maybe we can solve the drought in the central and western regions." A high-level person suddenly proposed.

"If this technology can be introduced, it can indeed solve the domestic drought situation." Akila nodded and echoed.

"I heard that Dongtang has desalinated 4500 billion cubic meters of seawater this year, and they are using fresh water to transform the desert."

"4500 billion cubic meters? Is this too exaggerated?"

"It's true, you don't believe that you can open the Internet and search."

Many high-level laptops searched, and suddenly they realized that they were sitting in the sky.

Looking at the figure of 4500 billion cubic meters, everyone can feel the power of Dongtang seawater desalination technology.

It should be known that the total water resources in Tuao are only 3430 billion cubic meters, and the amount of surface water and groundwater resources that have been developed and utilized so far is 175 billion cubic meters.

The water resources of Tu'ao have three characteristics.

The first is that the total amount is small and the per capita possession is large.

According to the statistics of 153 countries and regions in the world by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development, Tuao ranks among the top 18743 with per capita water resources of 50 cubic meters, and is a country with relatively abundant water resources.

However, based on the land area of ​​760 million square kilometers, the total amount of water resources is not much.

The second is the uneven regional distribution.

Two-thirds of the land area of ​​Tuao belongs to the arid or semi-arid zone, and the precipitation is mainly concentrated in the narrow strip where the eastern mountains, terraces and valleys meet.

The central and western deserts, which account for one-tenth of the country's land area, have an average annual rainfall of less than 250 millimeters.

Most of the six rivers in the territory are seasonal rivers, and they are also distributed in areas with concentrated precipitation.

The Great Artesian Basin in the middle is rich in groundwater and has the largest groundwater source in the world.

Although the regional distribution of water resources in Australia is uneven, it matches the layout of the national economy, so the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources is not tense.

The third is the uneven distribution of precipitation within a year and between years.

Precipitation in Tu'ao is mainly concentrated between winter and spring, and the precipitation between May and December accounts for two-thirds of the annual total. This period is a flood-prone period and also a water storage period.

The interannual variation of precipitation is also very large. There are records of consecutive wet years and dry years, and the dry season is particularly strong.

This uneven temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation determines that they must build water conservancy projects to ensure the demand for water resources for economic and social development.

So far, nearly 400 reservoirs have been built in Tu'ao, with a total storage capacity of more than 800 billion cubic meters, which has a strong water storage capacity.

In short, the relatively abundant water resources and small population make the water problem in Tuao not prominent.

However, with the increase of population and the development of economy and society, the potential impact of over-exploitation and utilization of water resources in some areas has gradually emerged.

New water distribution problems, water quality problems in major rivers, secondary salinization in irrigated areas, and irrational extraction of groundwater are growing concerns.

And this year's drought has brought water levels in their reservoirs below warning levels.

If seawater desalination technology can be introduced, it will be of great help to the development of their animal husbandry and planting.

After listening to this suggestion, Raff is also thinking about introducing seawater desalination technology.

"Mr. Raff, I think it is necessary to introduce seawater desalination technology. In recent years, there have been frequent extreme weather in the world. In the future, dry weather may appear frequently. It is better to plan early." Carlos, the head of the meteorological department, suggested.

"I know, but this seawater desalination technology is a little troublesome." Of course, Ruff knows that Dongtang's seawater desalination technology is very powerful.

But the problem is that this thing needs to replace the seawater desalination membrane every four months, although the comprehensive cost of this membrane is not high.

However, Dongyin Water Group does not allow any foreign seawater desalination plants to hold excess seawater desalination membranes. These seawater desalination membranes are almost scrapped after use, and they are never allowed to be shipped from Dongtang to replace them.

Even those seawater desalination membranes that have been scrapped must be transported back to the country by Dongyin Water Group for destruction.

In addition, the seawater desalination plant is also in charge of the production management of Dongyin Water Group. The location has no right to manage the plant, and the plant must be tax-free.

These are proper overlord clauses, other conditions can be accepted by Laf, but the condition that the seawater desalination membrane cannot be stored, he cannot accept it, and neither can the Tu-Australian Parliament.

Once this condition is accepted, the consequences will depend on Dong Tang's face.

As one of Mili's henchmen, Tu'ao is notoriously hostile to rabbits. Of course, this may have something to do with the rampant rabbits in their country.

"Unless they agree to allow us to store desalination membranes for about five years, the council will not agree to this matter." Raff said helplessly.

"Eh..." Carlos was speechless for a moment.

Please, now we are begging others, not Dongyin Water is begging us, so we have no right to bargain.

"Mr. Raff, whether the council agrees or not, we have to type up the report, otherwise it will be our negligence." Akila reminded.

Raff nodded:

"Akila, you are in charge of writing the report, and then we will jointly report it, and leave this matter to the gentlemen of the council to worry about!"

Soon the Department of Water Resources and the Department of Meteorology joined forces to procure proposals for desalination plants.

And the result was as expected by Raf and others, those parliamentary masters immediately quarreled about this matter, and those who opposed, agreed, and neutral expressed their opinions one after another.

Among them, the opposing forces were very strong, and finally the proposal was temporarily shelved.

And Raff's water conservancy department also has an excuse to face the complaints and complaints of the public. Anyway, I proposed a solution, but the masters of the council disagree, so go find them!

Regarding Raff's shirking of responsibility, the parliament is suffering and cannot tell.

Everyone knows that the desalination plant of Dongyin Water is a double-edged sword. After using it, it can cut through thorns and thorns, and it can also scratch itself.

It is equivalent to the Sunflower Book. If you want to practice magical skills, you must first go to the palace. Every aspiring country will not practice this kind of "Sunflower Book".

As for some existences who eat and wait to die, they don't care about practicing the Sunflower Book.

For example, the southern African country in Heizhou, they have already signed a contract with Dongyin Water, and handed over the domestic tap water supply to Dongyin Water.

In order to give an explanation to the public, the Tu-Australian Parliament could only pretend to let Raff lead a team to Dongtang to negotiate with Dongyin Water for the introduction of a seawater desalination plant.

As for whether it will be successful or not, it is not up to them to decide. Maybe after a period of time, the drought in the country will not be over. The task they gave to Raf is to delay as long as possible.
