The large-scale popularization of new energy has greatly reduced China's oil consumption. Therefore, China's oil imports have also been greatly reduced.
China's current oil reserves are already the largest in the world. There are huge oil reserves across the country, and these reserves will mainly be used for military supplies in the future.
Currently in China, the largest consumer of petroleum has become petrochemical products. However, this consumption is much lower than automobile consumption.
At present, some oil fields in China have launched storage plans. Some oil fields are preparing to seal wells. Over time, oil consumption will mainly be imported.
But even so, China's daily import volume is not very large and cannot be compared with before. Compared with the significant reduction in oil consumption, China's electricity consumption is rising rapidly.
In just two years, China's electricity demand has increased nearly three times, and demand is still increasing significantly.
In the past two years, China has built the fastest nuclear power plants in the world. In just two years, China has put 13 nuclear power plants into operation.
In the planning, nearly fifty nuclear power plants will be put into operation in the next three years. This scale of construction is absolutely unprecedented.
China's new generation nuclear power technology is quite mature. Its safety is currently the highest in the world, so China has invested heavily in the construction of nuclear power plants.
China's plan is very clear. By 2030, China will eliminate all thermal power stations. Nuclear power, hydropower, wind power, and solar power will form China's electricity mix in the future.
In addition to nuclear power plants, several large hydropower plants are under construction. In the west and north, some large solar power plants are also under construction.
Changes in the energy structure have brought about huge changes in China's industry. This change has revitalized China's economy.
The economic growth in the first two quarters of this year reached 7% again. In the face of the global economic downturn, China's economic growth rate shocked the whole world.
So now every step China takes will attract the attention of the world. In recent years, the relationship between many countries and China has increased significantly, and everyone wants to take the express train of China.
Great changes have taken place in Kubuqi, and the whole of China is also quietly changing. Golden Populus euphratica has been planted on a large scale in the desert areas of China, and a terrifying number of golden Populus euphratica saplings are planted every day.
While China is quietly changing, China's intelligence agencies are focusing on another focus. This focus is Western Sahara.
Compared with Kubuqi, Western Sahara is very low-key. Zhang Fan even used his ability to block information about Western Sahara on the global network.
So now there is almost no information about Western Sahara on the Internet. So nothing here has aroused discussion among people around the world.
Although it did not cause discussion, the changes here are indeed earth-shaking. The changes here are even more obvious than in Kubuqi.
On the coast of Western Sahara, a large port is under rapid construction. Longteng Construction Group is participating in the construction of the port.
The entire port uses the latest technology and the highest standards. Once completed, the entire port will be a modern unmanned port.
The annual throughput is frighteningly large. In addition to the throughput, the berths of this port are also frighteningly large. Large ships of one million tons can be docked, and Zhang Fan's super luxury cruise ship can definitely dock here.
This is just a preliminary project. In the future, when this place is stabilized, a military port will be built, but in the early stage, it will only be a civilian port.
Although it is a civilian port, warships can still dock here. The standard of this port can be used as a military port.
The construction of the entire port is now nearing completion. In addition to the port, large cutter suction ships are also constantly clearing the channels in the sea. Two channels have been cleared so far. In two or three months, everything will be cleared here.
By then, the entire port will be put into use. After it is put into use, the construction speed here will be faster.
Compared with the changes in the port, the changes inside the desert were even greater. When a large number of employees arrived at the temporary base, the construction of the entire Western Sahara officially began.
After such a long period of construction, the purchased 30,000 square kilometers of desert has completely changed its appearance.
Surrounding this 30,000 square kilometers of land, the Western Sahara stronghold has built a protective forest of golden Populus euphratica around this land.
The entire protective forest is 20 kilometers wide. A 20-kilometer protective forest surrounds the entire area.
The land area of 30,000 square kilometers is very large. You must know that the area of Hainan Island in China is only 35,400 square kilometers.
The area of Western Sahara is now slightly smaller than that of Hainan Island. Such a large area is enough for the initial effort.
The shelterbelt planting speed is very fast, and the entire shelterbelt system has been planted long ago. And inside the shelterbelt, just like Kubuqi, dense golden poplars divide the entire desert into grids.
Viewed from the air, the entire 30,000 square kilometers of desert has now been turned into an oasis. Although the golden poplar is still relatively small, compared to the previous bare desert, there is a lot more green here.
Although the saplings are still relatively low, the sand-fixing function of Golden Populus euphratica has gradually been shown. The desert flow rate in the entire area has been greatly reduced.
In just two or three years, the golden poplar will grow into a large tree with a diameter of 20 to 30 centimeters, and by then the entire desert will be completely fixed.
In addition to the desert being managed, the biggest change was the temporary base. Zhang Fan tried his best to protect this area.
In the end, I spent one hundred system gold coins to exchange for a special building material in the system.
Super coagulant is a special building material. It looks similar to glue, but its performance is incredible.
The usage is very simple. After the desert sand and concrete are mixed evenly in proportion, a mortar similar to concrete will be formed.
The performance of this mortar is similar to that of concrete. After drying and baking at high temperature, the performance will change drastically and become as hard as marble.
In addition to being hard, it also has good air permeability and water permeability. Its performance is not as bad as that made of reinforced concrete.
In desert areas, sand is almost inexhaustible. With this super concrete, construction here becomes extremely simple.
However, the cost of super coagulant is not cheap. Although sand is free, the price of super coagulant is relatively expensive.
After calculating the cost, it was 20% more expensive than reinforced concrete. However, even though it was expensive, Zhang Fan still asked Yang Dao and the others to use this material, because it was much more convenient for them to transport concrete than reinforced concrete.
Toy is currently the most suitable building material here.
