Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"Mr. Mohammed, after talking about the main urban area, let's look at the areas outside the urban area. You can see that these areas are all desert areas. If these areas are left alone, not only will there be a large-scale waste of land, but there will also be a huge problem, that is, sandstorms..."

After Xu Huasheng finished telling Mohammed about the planning of the main urban area, he directly brought the topic to the desert area outside the main urban area.

When talking about sandstorms, Mohammed had a hint of helplessness on his face. Because Dubai is now hit by sandstorms every year.

Not only in Dubai, but also in the entire Middle East, sandstorms are the biggest environmental problem, and they are environmental problems that make them feel helpless. They can't solve it at all, because there are large areas of desert here, without any obstacles, and they can't solve it even if they want to.

"Mr. Mohammed, in fact, the problem of sandstorms is not only here. We also have it in China. After all, the desert area in China is also very large. Even the capital of China experiences sandstorms every year. Do you know how our country does it?"

Xu Huasheng's words made Mohammed curious.

"We in China have formulated a huge plan. Our country plans to build artificial shelterbelts in many places in China in 73 years, divided into three phases and eight phases. The entire project construction scope covers 725 counties in 13 provinces in the three northern regions of China, with a total area of ​​4.358 million square kilometers, accounting for 45% of the total area of ​​China. For our descendants, we are going to build a green Great Wall. At present, we have completed the first phase of the project and are currently building the second phase..."

Xu Huasheng told Muhammad about China's three northern shelterbelt project in detail. After listening to Xu Huasheng's story, Muhammad's eyes widened.

"God, can you really complete it?"

Muhammad looked at Xu Huasheng and couldn't help saying, and Xu Huasheng laughed when he heard this.

"Mr. Muhammad, our Chinese belief is that man can conquer nature. As long as we are willing to do it, nothing is impossible. If it can't be done in ten years, then fifty years. If fifty years are not enough, then one hundred or two hundred years. As long as we persevere, we can always accomplish it. This is why in just a few decades, China has gone from being poor and blank to having atomic bombs, missiles, fighter jets, warships, 2G communications, and magical mobile phones..."

Xu Huasheng's face was full of pride. How could he not be proud of this? Look at other countries in the world. Some countries broke away from European and American colonies earlier than China, but many countries still have nothing and are still poor and bullied.

China is different. Even if it is poor, it can still drive the multinational coalition led by the United States out of North Korea and make MacArthur sign the armistice agreement.

Man can conquer nature. These four words made Muhammad ponder.

"Mr. Mohammed, look, if we make use of these desert areas, build a photovoltaic power station that is large enough here, and then build a desalination plant that is large enough by the sea, then, using our ecosystem, these deserts may become oases. This place is close to the sea, so as long as there is enough electricity, there will be enough fresh water. As long as there is enough fresh water, then the plants planted in the desert can survive and become green. These plants can directly fix the desert and block the wind and sand. Even if they cannot completely solve the sandstorm problem, at least they can greatly alleviate it. If the entire UAE takes action and perseveres, greening a little bit of the desert every year, sooner or later the entire desert will become an oasis..."

Desert becomes an oasis. When Xu Huasheng said this, Mohammed swallowed his saliva.

Build a huge main urban area, make use of the desert outside the main urban area, build a photovoltaic power plant that is large enough, and then build a desalination plant that is large enough.

Use solar energy to generate electricity, use electricity to desalinate fresh water, use fresh water to nourish plants, and use plants to fix the desert. In this way, the desert will directly become an oasis. If the scale is large enough, it will definitely be a miracle on earth. At that time, this photovoltaic power station can even be used as a tourist attraction.

Once these places become oases, they can also produce a lot of economic benefits.

"Xu, this is a little unlikely to be realized, right? How much will this project cost?"

Mohammed was shocked by the plan. Looking at the renderings, Mohammed swallowed his saliva and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Mr. Mohammed, such a large project will definitely not be completed in one or two years. It requires decades or even longer of continuous investment. In this way, the money invested in one year is actually not much. The most important thing about this project is that it is not a big project.What is needed is persistence, and even the efforts of several generations. In fact, once the scale of photovoltaic power generation is increased, the cost will be greatly reduced. Compared with thermal power, hydropower and nuclear power, the disadvantage of photovoltaic power generation may be instability. In fact, the current global power plant wastes a lot of electricity. Because now all the power generated by power stations cannot be stored, and thermal power and nuclear power stations, once started, often do not stop for 24 hours. And at night, less electricity is used, and the electricity that cannot be used up is wasted..."

Xu Huasheng's words made Mohammed nod his head. This is something everyone knows. There are also power stations in the UAE, which also cause a lot of electricity waste at night.

"But photovoltaic power generation is different. Photovoltaic power generation does not generate electricity at night, but only during the day. If we use this electricity to desalinate seawater to the greatest extent and store it as fresh water, it is actually a disguised way of storing electricity to reduce waste. After all, in Dubai, fresh water is a precious resource. For you, no matter how much fresh water you have, it is not too much, and seawater resources are endless and ruthless. This is your advantage. If our Chinese deserts were close to the sea, believe it or not, with a place as big as Dubai, we Chinese can turn the desert into an oasis in a few years..."

Xu Huasheng said seriously. Damn, if those large deserts in China were close to the sea, with the character of the Chinese people, they would have started greening long ago, and finally turned those large deserts into desert protection areas.

Xu Huasheng's words made Mohammed ponder, and it was unknown how long it took him to slowly come back to his senses.

"Xu, can you give me this map?"

Mohammed asked directly.

"Of course, my friend, I hope we can have more opportunities for cooperation in the future. We Chinese are most willing to make friends, and we Chinese have always been sincere to our friends. "

Xu Huasheng said with a smile. Dubai's infrastructure project is a super large project. Dubai is still a large desert now, and there are not many buildings.

Xu Huasheng did not expect to take over this large project all at once, but with this picture and his own plan for Dubai, he will be able to eat a few bites of this piece of meat in the future. As long as Dubai is willing to give it a chance, Xu Huasheng dares to guarantee that Dubai's infrastructure will definitely suffer from China's infrastructure dependence syndrome in the future.
