Xueba's technology tree

Chapter 220 Project Initiation
Xinghuo scientists and invited academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discussed and determined the development plan of the geothermal energy base.

On January 1, Zhou Yu held a remote online meeting in the conference room of Xinghuo Science and Technology Longshou Building. Zhou Yu announced to the executives involved in the development of geothermal energy.

"The geothermal energy development project is officially launched. I hope that all units will cooperate perfectly and complete the geothermal energy development work as soon as possible."

All the Spark Technology executives looked solemn and eager to try, and began to challenge this project.

Zhou Yu saw Gou Fugui's virtual figure disappear, Xinghuo Material Company has a heavy task.

It is not just the production and development of polysilicostyrene and polyacrylosilene, the core materials for geothermal energy.These two silicon-based polymer materials are very difficult to produce.

They also need to produce high-hardness alloy drill bits, which require the production of different drill bits for different crustal structures.

They also have to produce materials to strengthen the well, polysilicon styrene needs to be placed in the well as thick as an arm, so that it will not bear huge pressure.

In addition to these main material production businesses, Xinghuo Materials Co., Ltd. is responsible for the production of special materials required for thermoelectric generators and drilling machinery.

Zhou Yu saw Liu Jing nodded at him and walked out of the meeting room.

Liu Jing's task is also very heavy. He is responsible for the research and development of thermoelectric generators, which are the most important instruments and equipment for geothermal energy development projects.

The mechanical laboratory has completed the improvement of the drilling rig and is being handed over to Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company for production.

Specialized drilling rigs are required to drill from above the crust to the mantle layer, which has an average depth of 2865 kilometers.

There is no mechanical energy to ensure that the drill pipe is as long as 2865 kilometers without deviation.

They can only use a mechanical structure similar to a shield machine, and fix it while drilling to complete the erection of the drilling well.

The virtual figure of Yuan Keqing nodded at Zhou Yu, and said confidently: "President Zhou, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task."

Zhou Yu also believes that Yuan Keqing can complete the set task, and the scientific research center almost fully supports Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company.

Improve the performance of industrial robots so that they can process high-precision drills and other equipment.

As long as this project is completed perfectly, the processing precision of Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will be promoted, and it will truly enter the nanometer level.

After the online conference ended, everyone's figures disappeared, and those who were meeting in the conference room also walked out of the conference room.

Zhou Yu also returned to his office to experience the progress of the geothermal energy development project with Protoss glasses.

Now the busiest part of this project is the site selection. After the indicators of the geothermal energy development project appeared, Xinghuo Technology contacted the professional exploration organization under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Let them use professional equipment to explore the structure of the earth's crust.

If you want to develop geothermal energy, the most important thing is to drill wells, and the site selection must be extremely cautious.

Wells must be drilled in areas where the rock layer near the mantle is very hard and where the pressure of the mantle is not too high.

This will not cause them to directly induce volcanic eruptions when they drill into the mantle layer.

The alloy drill bits and drilling rigs of Xinghuo Technology are not afraid of the hardness of the earth's crust, but they are afraid that the earth's crust is not tight, and the magma seeps from the mantle layer to the ground along the drilling.

The location of the base must also choose a place that is inaccessible.

Xinghuo Technology has the technology to prevent volcanic eruptions. Even if the magma in the mantle layer seeps to the surface, they have a way to control it, but they must ensure that in the event of extreme accidents, it will not cause a particularly major disaster.

On January 1, Zhou Yu received a report from the exploration team that they found suitable geological conditions in a small barren hill in Xiong'an New District.

Xiong'an New Area is not a seismic zone, and the crust is relatively tough. The mantle layer below this small barren mountain has the weakest activity, which is suitable for drilling here.

Zhou Yu received this news and immediately ordered Spark Technology to act.

Xinghuo Technology has submitted an application to the government for the development of geothermal energy. After discussions with experts such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it has been verified that the advantages of geothermal energy development outweigh the disadvantages.

The country also hopes that Spark Science and Technology can develop geothermal energy, so that Huaxia can master a new energy channel.

After the address was confirmed, the relevant departments immediately went through the development procedures for Xinghuo Technology, and officially started the three links and one leveling of this small barren mountain.

Large-scale machinery began to enter the site, and a simple road was cleared. The State Grid began to erect 10 kV high-voltage poles for power supply to the base.

Factories are urgently producing materials and equipment, and geothermal energy bases are under construction.

Scientists have not been idle, they began to calculate the location and number of drilling based on the crustal data collected by the detection team.

Dozens of supercomputers are non-stop, and according to the algorithm constructed by the scientists, they begin to simulate the impact on the ground caused by drilling through the mantle layer.

After two weeks of calculations, the scientists calculated the best data. They calculated that for a small barren hill of three hectares, 48 ​​wells need to be drilled and the location of each well must be determined.

Liu Jing also completed the research and development of the thermoelectric generator, and Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company is urgently manufacturing it.

The geothermal energy base has also begun to take shape. The stones on this small barren mountain have been cleared, and the tents have been replaced with assembled cement houses.

Large-scale machinery began to excavate an underground space with a depth of 50 meters on the small barren mountain, and the entire space covers an area of ​​about 60 square meters.

This space is a space for thermoelectric generators, but the walls of the space are equipped with high-temperature-resistant alloy steel plates.

The outer wall of the alloy steel plate is connected with polysilicon styrene, a heat-conducting material.

This is a safe house designed by scientists through rigorous calculation of the temperature and pressure of magma eruption to the ground.

If the magma really erupts, the heat-conducting material polysilicon styrene will quickly dissipate the heat from the alloy steel plate, allowing the alloy steel plate to cool down quickly.

This will quickly cool the magma inside the safe house, and finally form a magma rock-like substance, which will directly block the drilling.

Through this safety protection method, even if the site is improperly selected and the drilling really erupts, it is only a scrapped drilling, and the magma eruption will not form a real volcanic eruption, leading to disaster consequences.

On January 1, Zhou Yu of Xinghuo Technology, Jiang Long, director of the silicon-based materials laboratory, Jia Yun, chief engineer of Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company, and Wang Dashan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, came to the geothermal energy base.

Wang Dashan saw the changed little barren mountain, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Zhou Yu, I hope that your Xinghuo Technology can really develop geothermal energy this time.

If geothermal energy can really be utilized and reach the energy conversion rate reported by Xinghuo Technology, it will completely change the development of the world.

Such a small geothermal energy base, if the power generation can really catch up with a medium-sized hydropower station, it will change the energy structure too much.

Our country can really cut thermal power stations to the limit.

The coastal areas use nuclear energy, and the inland areas use water conservancy and geothermal energy. Even if the power consumption increases several times, our country will not have power shortages. "

Zhou Yu understands Wang Dashan's feelings. Now nuclear energy is the best energy source for power generation, but nuclear power plants have a fatal weakness, that is, a large amount of water is needed for the operation of nuclear power plants.

Nuclear power plants must use large amounts of water to cool their nuclear reactors.

It is also necessary to prepare a large amount of water resources to deal with possible dangers.

Even if desalinated seawater is transported through pipelines in the inland areas of China, it can only solve the production and living water, and cannot solve the huge water consumption of nuclear power plants.

Zhou Yu said confidently: "Director Wang, our first drilling rig will start up soon, and you can see whether the development of geothermal energy is successful or not after waiting for a while."
