Chapter 677

Water is the basic need to maintain life and health. Although 71% of the earth's area is covered by water, freshwater resources are extremely limited. In the total water resources, 97.47% is salt water that can not be drunk.

Of the remaining 2.53% of the fresh water, 87% are the polar ice sheets, alpine glaciers and ice and snow in permafrost regions that are difficult for human beings to use. Only 0.26% of the earth's total water can be utilized by human beings, and the distribution is uneven.

As a result, more than 1.4 billion children, women and men in the world do not have access to sufficient and safe water to sustain their basic needs. At many levels, water resources and health are inextricably linked.

Every decision we make in our country is in fact about water and its impact on health. In particular, Jiang Yuting mentioned that the desalinated seawater should be transported to the desert areas of China to carry out the project of greening the desert, which is even more related to our descendants.

China's desertification is very serious. In recent years, the country has begun to vigorously carry out the work of sand prevention and control, which has launched a campaign to control the desert. However, it is very difficult to do this work, because in addition to sand and dust in desert areas, the biggest impact on Greening projects is the lack of fresh water resources.

If there is no water shortage when we plant trees in the desert, then you can imagine how much our speed of combating desertification will increase!

Now, the technology that Lei Tiantang provides for extracting deuterium from seawater can actually get one of the most important by-products, that is, a large amount of fresh water. How can such a technology be ignored by the state? Compared with the harvested nuclear fuel, the state pays more attention to this by-product!

Speaking of this, Tian Mingli also asked curiously, "boss, our technology can be used in desalination all over the world. Why don't you seem to attach importance to this application?"

Other people in the conference room are also curious about Lei Tiantang's answer. Indeed, the lack of fresh water resources is a worldwide problem. Not only China is short of fresh water. There are not many countries in the world who say that they do not lack fresh water. If this technology of extracting deuterium from seawater is simplified, it will bring huge income to the company. Why does the boss seem to be right Are you not interested in this?

"This problem is very simple. There are more than 100 scientific research institutions in more than 10 countries in the world conducting research on desalination, and hundreds of desalination facilities with different structures and capacities are working.

A modern large-scale desalination plant can produce thousands, tens of thousands or even nearly one million tons of fresh water every day. The cost of water is constantly falling, and in some countries it has been reduced to the price of tap water. The desalination water in some areas has reached the national and urban water supply scale.

Therefore, there is no shortage of seawater desalination technology. The only factor restricting the large-scale promotion of this technology is the cost, and the biggest cost is the energy cost. Even if our company's technology is more advanced, the cost can only be reduced by about one-third.

I don't want to disgrace such technology. Desalination technology can make money, but the cost of human and material resources required in this respect is very large. Moreover, such projects are particularly vulnerable to political interference from countries like the United States. It is not enough to earn so much money!

So I've never thought of using this technology to make money, let alone use this technology to help those doomed Middle East local tyrants. After all, those desert countries are the places where fresh water is most scarce. However, there are desalination projects there now. Why do we do so many things to earn so much money!

After the formal promotion of our company's nuclear fusion reactor technology, you all know what will happen to these countries. At that time, it remains to be discussed what they will think of our company. Maybe those European and American countries will become our enemies as soon as they agitate!

With fusion reactor technology, which can make a lot of money, who would like to see such a small profit? Now the country wants to kill two birds with one stone in this project. Other countries can do it! " Lei Tiantang explained with a smile.

"It's hard to buy a thousand dollars. I don't like it."! But you're right, boss. Although desalination projects can make money, such basic livelihood projects invest a lot, but the benefits generated are not much. Moreover, the cost recovery time is very long, and it is particularly troublesome. It is not worth making money to communicate and coordinate with the governments and various interest groups of those countries. " Jiang Yuting agreed with the boss.

"Boss, can we sell the simplified materials to the public? I think at least there are many scenarios in which our relevant reverse osmosis membrane materials can be used. In addition to desalination, we can also use sewage treatment and fresh water re filtration equipment.

These can bring great profits to the company, because the market is not small at all. We only sell this kind of material to the outside world, so it is not troublesome? " Tian Mingli listened to the boss to say so and also stepped back to suggest a way.

"Of course, you can do it if you want. Although there are a lot of relevant materials in the market, I believe our materials are still very advantageous in technology!" Lei Tiantang smiles and nods and agrees with Tian Mingli's plan.After all, his idea is to increase the company's profits and enrich the product line. Of course, Lei Tiantang will not object to such a thing!

"Of course! Even the simplified version of the material can also hang all over the world! If other technologies are not core technologies that cannot be sold to the outside world, I think our company can monopolize this market! " Tian Mingli said with a smile.

People in the conference room all laughed. Indeed, as he said, the technology related to nuclear fusion reactor must be highly confidential in a short time. There are not many things that can be taken out for sale alone, so we can't lose a lot of small things!

"All right! I believe that we are ready for the preparation work. Let's wait for our fusion reactor to be ignited successfully and shock the world!

During this period of time, we should keep our spirits up and do our work well. Don't lose the chain at the critical moment Lei Tiantang smiles and gives everyone a way.

"Don't worry, boss! How can we not work hard at this kind of work that can be doomed to be recorded in history! I still want to brag with my grandson or granddaughter when I'm old. I can't boast about this job too much! " Kong Yu said with a smile.
