Hearing that Ye Chen said that he still had a problem that needed to be addressed immediately, Hamid quickly asked: "Brother, what problem are you talking about?"
Ye Chen said: "Last time I went to your place, I found that your base now relies entirely on diesel generators to generate electricity."
"Yes." Hamid said: "The diesel generator set is quite convenient to use, but the cost is a bit high."
Ye Chen said: "This is not a bit high, but quite high. The cost is at least several times that of coal-fired electricity!"
Hamid said hurriedly: "I have been implementing a strategy of saving electricity here. During the day, I basically don't use electricity and use less electricity. At night, ordinary soldiers only use electricity for lighting, so the overall electricity consumption is not high, and the cost is OK.
accept."
Ye Chen retorted: "You just don't think long term. If you have a dozen or even dozens of fortifications in the future, then each fortification will need to provide a corresponding power system to ensure lighting and ventilation inside the fortification.
Communication, or even cooking, if this is the case, your diesel power generation will not be able to supply it at all, and if it is operated at full power, the cost of fuel consumption will be very high."
When Hamid heard this, he exclaimed: "Oh! I forgot about this! But... I don't have any good solution now. It is impossible for the government troops to provide me with power, and I don't know how to do it."
I don’t have the ability to build a thermal power plant, so I can only use diesel generators to generate electricity to solve the power problem..."
Ye Chen said: "Although there is no possibility of developing thermal power there, you can try to develop a certain amount of photovoltaic power generation."
“The Middle East has abundant sunlight, and although the construction cost of photovoltaic power generation is relatively high, the subsequent use cost and maintenance cost are even lower. You only need to invest two to three million US dollars at a time to build several sets of independently operating solar cells.
A power system that uses solar power and then batteries to store power can completely get rid of fuel power generation, and the power generated every day is enough for the normal use of your two thousand soldiers."
"Photovoltaic solar panels can be placed directly on the roof, or on the hillside near the internal anti-slope fortifications. This can also prevent enemies from destroying it. Then put your diesel generator set in a safe cellar and only maintain it during normal times.
, and then restart to provide emergency power supply in an emergency. In this case, you have two power supply systems."
At this point, Ye Chen said earnestly: "As long as anything is related to war, you must make an emergency plan. If this one doesn't work, change it to another one immediately. Only in this way can you improve your chances of survival. To put it bluntly,
To be honest, most of your subordinates do not have any level of education, and you yourself have not systematically studied military affairs. Therefore, your team has great shortcomings in terms of theoretical basis. If you do not force yourself to think more and study more,
It’s hard to survive a constant war.”
Hamid also realized the importance of Ye Chen's words and immediately said: "My brother is reminding me! I must strengthen my knowledge in this area in the future and strive to improve myself as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he hurriedly said: "I will start working on photovoltaic power generation as soon as possible. One hundred million US dollars is a huge amount of money, and many problems can be solved easily. In the future, I will do my best to upgrade and transform all aspects. I will definitely
Live up to my brother’s expectations!”
Seeing that Hamid had a correct attitude, Ye Chen was slightly relieved. He did not dare to expect Hamid to be granted the title of Prime Minister now. If he could survive first, it would be considered an initial success.
Later, Ye Chen remembered something and asked him again: "By the way, none of the people under you have read any books. If you really want them to operate infrastructure equipment to build fortifications, can these people do it?"
Hamid said without hesitation: "It's definitely not possible to rely on the people under my command. I get angry when I mention this. I asked them to dig cellars before, and if they dug ten of them, eight of them would fucking collapse. I expected them to build a permanent one."
Fortifications, in my opinion, are absolutely impossible.”
