Chapter 211, a game of magnifying glass burning ants?
The Imperial Capital of China~
This economic and energy meeting has not yet begun. Lao Li from the Ministry of Energy, Lao Tang from the Ministry of Science and Technology, and Lao Yuan from the Ministry of Economic Affairs met with Qin Yi in private.
In a small rest room next to a large conference room, Qin Yi took Wang Songling and the main leaders of Galaxy Energy Technology Group to report to several leaders about the construction of a space solar power station in space.
"I'm sorry to cause trouble to several leaders. I have asked people to find a way to solve the problem of reflection. I believe this matter will be solved soon."
Qin Yi was old acquaintances with Lao Tang from the Ministry of Science and Technology and Lao Yuan from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, but this was the first time he met Lao Li from the Ministry of Energy. Qin Yi quickly apologized for this meeting.
Because of this incident, there is now a bit of pressure from external public opinion, which has caused a lot of trouble for the higher-ups.
"Qin Yi, we didn't come here to ask you for punishment~"
Old Tang from the Ministry of Science and Technology looked at Qin Yi and said with a smile.
"Those people abroad are eating enough to support themselves. Naturally, we will not be like them."
"You don't have to worry about this matter, just do what you should do."
"After hearing your words, Old Tang, I felt much more at ease. You don't know, but now many organizations and individuals abroad have sent me many threatening letters, saying that I am to blame for the destruction of the earth."
Hearing Old Tang's words, Qin Yi really felt at ease, even though he already knew in his heart that with China's current strong strength, this little external pressure could not be ignored at all.
"Haha~ don't pay attention to them. Those foreigners are too full. We are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Let's do what we should do."
Old Tang smiled after hearing this. He naturally knew everything about the various discussions that were going on now.
"I called you here today. Actually, I mainly want to understand the specific situation of this space solar energy project in detail."
"You also know that in the past few months, we were very uncomfortable being strangled by people on energy, so we also attach great importance to this area."
“An additional energy channel will also provide an additional guarantee for our country’s energy stability and security.”
Lao Li from the Ministry of Energy also personally approved Galaxy Energy Technology Group's space solar power station project, but he didn't know much about it at the time, so now he wants to hear Qin Yi's detailed explanation.
"Of course there is no problem. Wang Songling of our company is responsible for this matter, so I would like to ask him to report the specific situation to the leaders."
Qin Yi nodded repeatedly and then motioned to Wang Songling to report the work in detail.
After hearing Qin Yi's words, everyone looked at Wang Songling. Wang Songling had naturally been prepared for it, so he began to speak slowly.
"One of the reasons why we are interested in the space solar energy project is that with the continuous development of the interstellar space field, the electrical energy we need will become larger and larger, and we need to expand more energy channels."
"In space, because there is no weakening of the earth's atmosphere, and there is no need to be affected by the alternation of the sun and the moon, the efficiency of solar power generation in space is many times higher than on earth, and the efficiency is very high...
"
"...The space solar power station we are currently building, once it is fully completed and put into use, its annual power generation can reach 1.7 trillion kilowatt hours, which is equivalent to the annual power generation of 17 Three Gorges Hydropower Station~"
"Wait~"
When Wang Songling said this, Lao Li, Lao Tang, and Lao Yuan all showed expressions of surprise on their faces. Lao Li waved his hand directly. Wang Songling paused first, he wanted to slow down.
"You mean, the space solar power station you built in space can produce 1.7 trillion hours of electricity per year?"
Lao Li looked at Wang Songling with his eyes and asked.
"Hmm~ Theoretically, this is the lowest number."
Wang Songling nodded solemnly and said.
"Can its annual power generation reach the annual power generation of 17 Three Gorges Hydropower Stations?"
Old Tang was also a little unbelievable. Although he had known for a long time that the project Qin Yi was interested in was definitely a very profitable project, he never expected it.
It is simply unbelievable to build a space solar power station casually in the sky, and its power generation can actually reach the terrifying level of 17 Three Gorges Hydropower Station.
“No problem at all~”
Wang Songling nodded again, not finding anything strange or surprising at all.
"Can it really be used as seventeen Three Gorges Hydropower Stations?"
Lao Li still didn't believe it, so he turned to Qin Yi and asked.
"Of course~"
Qin Yi also nodded solemnly and replied.
"My dear~ Qin Yi, you are so capable of doing things. Just by doing this in space, seventeen Three Gorges Hydropower Stations were created~"
Old Tang couldn't help but shook his head repeatedly. The Three Gorges Hydropower Station in his mind was the largest hydropower station in the world, with an annual power generation of nearly 100 billion kilowatt hours.
But now Qin Yi is telling you that the new 'moon' that appears in space is equivalent to seventeen Three Gorges hydropower stations, which is really hard to believe.
"Old Tang, you should have some understanding of using solar energy to generate electricity in space, and you should trust scientists~"
Qin Yi smiled and said to Old Tang that Old Tang, who was in charge of technology, must have known about this matter, but he didn't pay attention to it himself.
"Of course I know that solar power generation in space is very efficient, but no one has ever dared to practice it like you, and built such a huge solar power station in space, which is equivalent to seventeen Three Gorges hydropower stations."
Old Tang shook his head repeatedly. He had heard Qin Yi talk about the idea of space solar power generation before, but he didn't care at all at that time. Now, after understanding the details clearly, he can't help but sigh.
"The impact of this matter is really great. If you put the seventeen Three Gorges Hydropower Stations into operation at once, it will have a huge impact~"
Lao Li's brows furrowed. There was enough power, but too much power didn't seem to be a good thing. If Galaxy Energy Group had to let loose, the domestic power market would be in chaos.
"Haha~ Boss, please rest assured that our electricity is only produced and sold by ourselves and will not be sold outside."
"Besides, with the continuous development of the interstellar space age, gaps in energy will surely gradually appear in the future. Both spacecraft and smelting plants on the moon are extremely power-consuming."
"In addition, solar energy is a pollution-free new energy source. If solar energy can support our country's energy sector, we can actually consider gradually shutting down our domestic highly polluting thermal power and upgrading our energy structure."
Of course Qin Yi knew what Lao Li was worried about. He and Lu Qingwei had the same worries. They were worried that if too much electricity flooded into the market at once, there would be overcapacity.
After listening to Qin Yi's words, Lao Li thought about it carefully and nodded.
As China's economy ranks first in the world and ranks among the developed countries, it is also undergoing in-depth reforms in all aspects. It has begun to pay more attention to environmental protection and has spent a lot of effort to control environmental pollution. This thermal power project is also the target of key upgrades and transformations.
"Qin Yi, how big is your investment in this project?"
Lao Yuan from the Ministry of Economic Affairs looked at Qin Yi and said that he was concerned about economic matters and knew clearly about Qin Caishen's ability to create wealth.
"The project investment is very large, at least trillions~"
"However, the operability of this project is very high. With a large investment, you can build a larger one, and with a small investment, you can build a smaller one. With an investment of one or two billion, you can build a small space solar power station."
"I took into account my company's huge demand for energy in the future, so I made a larger one-time investment and built it bigger."
Qin Yi immediately understood the meaning of Lao Yuan's words and knew that he was concerned about whether other people could participate. After listening to Qin Yi's words, Lao Yuan couldn't help but smile.
The threshold for investing in the field of lunar mining is very high. It requires at least tens of billions to mine on the moon. Therefore, although lunar mining is very popular, it is only limited to companies and enterprises with large capital and financial resources.
Now in the field of space solar energy, the investment can be large or small, and the rate of return is the same. Lao Yuan immediately became very angry. He had already imagined in his mind the picture of space solar power stations being built continuously in space.
This is definitely a very good project, and all capital sizes can participate, and it can also drive employment and economic development.
"Great~ I know Qin Yi that you have great vision and dare to invest heavily."
Lao Yuan was in a good mood and gave Qin Yi a thumbs up.
"Thank you for your leadership~I am just a leader~"
Qin Yi smiled and said modestly.
"Qin Yi, some people abroad say that your space solar power generation is real and a terrible weapon. I wonder if this is true?"
Old Tang seemed to have thought of something, and asked Qin Yi after thinking about it.
"If you insist on saying it is a weapon, you can actually say it is a weapon~"
When Qin Yi heard this, he was slightly startled, then thought about it and replied.
"It's not used to generate electricity, so why does it become a weapon?"
Lao Li and Lao Yuan were confused and really couldn't figure it out.
"I wonder if you ever played the game of burning ants with a magnifying glass when you were young?"
Qin Yi thought about it and didn't know how to describe it for a moment. Soon, an idea flashed in Qin Yi's mind and he thought about it and asked.
"A game about burning ants with a magnifying glass?"
When Lao Li and Lao Yuan heard this, they were even more confused and didn't know why.
But Old Tang from the Ministry of Science and Technology, his eyes lit up at this moment, and he immediately understood completely.
"So that's it~ It's actually a weather weapon, but yours is still too small~"
