I Have a Little Black Hole

Water is a basic need to maintain life and health. Although 71% of the earth is covered by water, freshwater resources are extremely limited. Of the total water resources, 97.47% is undrinkable salt water.

Of the remaining 2.53% of fresh water, 87% is the polar ice caps, alpine glaciers and permafrost ice and snow that are difficult for humans to use. What human beings can really use is a part of rivers, lakes and groundwater, which only account for 0.26% of the earth's total water and are unevenly distributed.

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 meet their basic needs. On many levels, water and health are inextricably linked.

Virtually every decision our country makes has to do with water and the impact it has on health. In particular, Jiang Yuting mentioned that the desalinated seawater will be transported to the desert areas of our country for greening desert projects, which is even more related to our descendants.

Desertification in our country is very serious. In recent years, the country has begun to vigorously carry out sand prevention and control work, and started a campaign to control deserts. However, this work is very difficult, because in addition to wind, sand and dust in desert areas, The biggest impact of greening projects is the lack of fresh water resources.

If we don't lack water when we plant trees in the desert, then you can imagine how much our sand control speed will increase!

Now the technology provided by Lei Tiantang to extract deuterium from seawater can actually get one of the most important by-products, that is, a large amount of fresh water. How can the country not pay attention to such technology? Compared with the nuclear fuel harvested, the country pays more attention to it This by-product!

Speaking of this, Tian Mingli also asked curiously: Boss, our technology can also be used in seawater desalination to hit the world. Why don't you seem to pay attention to this application?

Others in the conference room were also curious about Lei Tiantang's answer. Indeed, the problem of lack of fresh water resources is a worldwide problem. It is not only the lack of fresh water in China. There are not many countries in the world who say they are not short of fresh water. Simplifying the technology of extracting deuterium from seawater can bring huge revenue to the company again. Why doesn't the boss seem to be interested in this aspect?

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

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 fallen to about the price of tap water. Desalinated water in some areas reaches the scale of national and urban water supplies.

Therefore, there is no shortage of technology in seawater desalination.

The only thing that restricts the large-scale promotion of this technology is the cost, and the biggest cost here is the energy cost. Even if our company's technology is more advanced, this cost can only be reduced by a little more than one-third.

I don’t want to be embarrassed by this kind of technology. The desalination technology can indeed make money, but the human and material costs that need to be invested in this area are very large, and such projects are especially vulnerable to the political affairs of countries like Laomei. Interference, earning that little money is not enough to bother you!

So I never thought of using this technology to make money, let alone to use this technology to help those Middle Eastern tyrants who are destined to be down and out. After all, those desert countries are the places that lack fresh water the most, but the seawater there is now. It's not that there is no desalination project, why do we do so many things to earn so much money!

After our company's nuclear fusion reactor technology is officially promoted, you all know what will happen to these countries. What they will think of our company is still up for debate. Maybe those European and American countries will agitate later. The country will become our enemy!

There is a business like nuclear fusion reactor technology that can make a lot of money. Who cares about this petty profit. Now the country wants to kill two birds with one stone in this project. There is no problem, other countries forget it! Lei Tiantang explained with a smile.

Is this 'I'm not willing to buy a thousand dollars'? But you are right, boss, although seawater desalination projects can make money, but such basic livelihood projects have a lot of investment, not many benefits, and cost recovery. It's still a long time, and it's very troublesome. It's really not worth it to make so much money to communicate and coordinate with the governments of those countries and various interest groups! Jiang Yuting agreed with the boss's idea.

Then boss, can we sell the simplified materials to the outside world? I think at least our related reverse osmosis membrane materials can be used in many scenarios. In addition to seawater desalination, sewage treatment and fresh water refiltration equipment can also be used. etc.

All of these can bring a lot of profit to the company, because this market is not small at all, we only sell this material to the outside world, so it is not troublesome, right? Tian Mingli took a step back and suggested after hearing what the boss said.

Of course this is possible, just do it if you want. Although there are many related materials on the market, I believe our materials are technically superior! Lei Tiantang smiled and nodded in agreement with Tian Mingli's plan.

After all, his idea is also 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 hit the world! If other technologies are not core technologies that cannot be sold externally, I think our company can monopolize this market! Tian Mingli said with a smile.

Everyone in the conference room laughed. Indeed, as he said, the technology related to nuclear fusion reactors must be highly confidential in a short period of time. There are not many things that can be sold separately. Big loss!

Okay! I believe we are ready for the preparation work, just wait for our nuclear fusion reactor to be officially ignited and shock the world!

During this period of time, everyone cheered up, and did all the work we have to do solidly, and don't lose the chain at the critical moment! Lei Tiantang cheered everyone with a smile.

Don't worry, boss! How can we not work hard for this kind of work that is destined to go down in history! I also want to brag about it with my grandson or granddaughter when I get old. It's hard to overstate this work! Kong Yu said with a smile now.
