Chapter 496: The Indus Tree and the Golden Phoenix
In fact, the current domestic photovoltaic industry is not as hot as it was a few years ago. As early as around 2000, the photovoltaic industry began to boom. Many people regard solar energy as a representative of clean energy in the future, and believe that the photovoltaic industry will be next generation energy.
The photovoltaic industry even gave birth to several richest men in China, and then disappeared in an instant. The ups and downs show the fate of the photovoltaic industry.
Of course, it is not right to say that it is not popular. Now the proportion of the photovoltaic industry in the domestic power generation market is getting higher and higher, but its disadvantages and limitations are becoming more and more well-known, and more and more people are willing to enter this industry and invest in it. If there is less, the transfer of capital attention will naturally cause the appearance of market depression.
Gu Gang is not the kind of person who is incompetent and just pats his head. He has also done research. He considered the various reasons that Nan Ming would say, but he did not expect that Nan Ming's reason was this.
"I thought you would say that the pollution in the photovoltaic industry is very serious." Gu Gang grinned.
The photovoltaic industry uses solar power to generate electricity. This process is clean and non-polluting. However, in the production process of solar panels, the pollution is very serious and it is a heavily polluting industry.
"There is also pollution in the battery production process, and the pollution can be pretreated by increasing investment." Nan Mingdao, as long as the supervision is effective and the investment is in place, most of the pollution can be disposed of before it is discharged. "Of course this is also part of the pollution. The reason is that the pollution in the photovoltaic production process is much more serious than that of batteries, at least much more polluting than the production process of Nanxia batteries."
Gu Gang frowned. He was convinced by Nan Ming, but if he wanted to develop, he had to have industry, and if there was industry, there would be pollution. Choosing which industry to choose was like choosing one’s own death method. It is also a knife.
"Brother Nan, if the county wants to start the photovoltaic industry, do you have any suggestions?" Gu Gang asked, and now he seemed to regard Nanming as an expert consultant.
Nan Ming knew something about the photovoltaic industry, and frowned: "The top, middle and bottom three types of the photovoltaic industry have their disadvantages, and they are not the best way to develop."
As Nanming said just now, the upstream industry of the photovoltaic industry, that is, the production of solar panels, requires a lot of water and seriously pollutes water bodies.
Photovoltaic power plants in the middle reaches are limited by the light time, and they will fluctuate from zero to peak value within a day, and the light conditions are different every day, which has a negative impact on grid connection and a great load on the power grid.
There is a common sense that is often forgotten. Electricity cannot be stored on a large scale. It must be used as long as it is sent out. Compared with the electricity generated by humans, the amount of electricity that can be stored in batteries is just a drop in the bucket.
The power grid particularly hates fluctuations. Activities such as Earth Hour, which calls on everyone to turn off lights for an hour, will not only fail to save energy, but will have an impact on the power grid and generate greater waste.
In this case, a power station that cannot actively control its own output is not welcome.
For example, the electricity consumption of residents has a low peak during the day and a peak at night. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic industry is only delivered to the line during the day.
"And, if you want to build a solar power plant, there is a more mature and simpler way, a solar thermal power plant." Nan Ming said.
Photothermal power plants use mirrors to gather sunlight into one place and drive steam engines to generate electricity. Compared with photovoltaic power plants, this kind of power plant has lower cost and more mature technology.
When there is a choice of solar thermal power plants, photovoltaic is even more out of date. It is more like a strategic investment, an investment in the future. This kind of investment is at least at the provincial or even national level. Wenji, a county, obviously wants to too much.
"Downstream, it is to spread solar panels on the top of various buildings, which requires a large amount of subsidies." Nan Ming said, otherwise, why would construction manufacturers risk being opposed by residents to install solar panels? ?
And can the residents understand the benefits of doing so?
Gu Gang grinned, Nan Ming was right.
"So, what if a large-scale effect is formed?" Gu Gang asked, "For example, we build a photovoltaic industry base that is the largest in the province and even in the country..."
"It's good to form a scale..." Nan Ming smiled, "But do you think that just a Xingda Optoelectronics can have the courage to invest a huge amount of money in Wenji to develop such a large industry?"
He paused, curled his lips and said, "Or, does Xingda Optoelectronics have this ability?"
Although the photovoltaic industry is a bit depressed now, it is still not represented by a single Xingda Optoelectronics.
"How do you know it's Xingda Optoelectronics?" Gu Gang was puzzled. The negotiation with Xingda Optoelectronics had just entered the earliest stage, and Nan Ming just came back, so he knew?
"At present, Xingda Optoelectronics is only planning to invest a small amount of money to build some peripheral factories for photovoltaics." Gu Gang explained, "However, Mr. Hu seems to intend to increase investment in Wenji."
"The surrounding factories that Mr. Hu invested in must be a very polluting industry." Nan Ming curled his lips.
"This still needs to be evaluated..." Gu Gang said with a sneer, "But Xingda Optoelectronics said that they have mastered a new way to manufacture solar panels, which can reduce pollution..."
"Just them?" Nan Ming curled his lips. At present, this kind of technology has not been mastered in China. If anyone in China can master this technology, unless Nan Ming changes his mind to develop photovoltaics.
However, in Nanming's heart, the photovoltaic industry has already been sentenced to death.
"The current utilization rate of the photovoltaic industry is too low, the upper limit of development is too low, the promotion process is too difficult, and most importantly, solar energy is only an excessive energy source, and I am not optimistic about it." Nan Ming finally concluded.
Hearing Nan Ming and Gu Gang discussing here, a deputy county magistrate in charge of industry came over and listened quietly. In short, I don’t quite agree with your statement. Solar energy is the source of most of the energy on the earth. Coal and oil stored in the ground, wind energy and tidal energy are all solar energy in the final analysis. Why does the photovoltaic industry that directly uses solar energy fail? Belittled to nothing by you?"
The deputy county magistrate was only transferred in the last six months. He knew about Nan Ming, but when he actually saw Nan Ming, he found that he was just a boy who was not a few years older than his own child, so he would inevitably feel contemptuous.
"I don't look down on solar energy. Solar energy is actually a very powerful energy source, but the premise is that we are close enough to the sun."
Who dares to underestimate solar energy? The sun continuously releases infinite light and heat, illuminates the earth, and inputs countless energies to the earth every day. If these energies can be collected, or the solar panels can be placed very close to the sun, solar energy will naturally have unlimited potential of.
But the density of solar energy on the surface is really too low.
"Then Mr. Nan, what kind of energy do you think is not excessive energy?" the deputy county magistrate said.
"Didn't I just say that?" Nan Ming said, "The source of solar energy is nuclear energy."
The sun is a blazing fireball. Under the huge gravity of the sun itself, hydrogen and other gases are constantly collapsing inward, producing fusion and forming helium or other heavier gases. This process emits endless light and heat , which is the source of solar energy.
If compared with nuclear energy, solar energy can only be regarded as an excessive energy source.
"Nuclear energy?" The deputy county magistrate pouted, "I have been exposed to it for a while when I was in school. Although nuclear energy looks clean, it is actually very troublesome. Nuclear pollution is difficult to control. Waste must be disposed of in a centralized manner, and there is a risk of leakage. The hazards caused by the spill..."
In fact, there is no need to say much, because the Fukushima nuclear power plant leak in Japan has just passed, and everyone knows the disastrous consequences.
"You're talking about nuclear fission, but I'm talking about nuclear fusion." Nan Ming smiled.
"What?" The deputy county magistrate looked like he had eaten a fly, and he had only one thought, this guy Nanming is a charlatan!
Nuclear fusion has been said!
Ever since mankind discovered nuclear energy, the dream of controllable nuclear fusion has never ceased. This process can produce several tomes of gossip, and it will never be finished.
But there is also a new joke in the physics world, that is, there is a new constant in the physics world-the time when human beings are away from controllable nuclear fusion.
Fifty years ago, when the US-Russia Cold War and arms competition, the number was fifty years.
Now people all over the world are cooperating to conquer the nuclear fusion project, but people's most optimistic expectation is still 50 years.
Gu Gang didn't understand what kind of riddle these two people were playing. For Gu Gang, it was a bit too difficult to distinguish nuclear fusion from nuclear fission.
But he knew that nuclear power is a very important thing, wiped off his sweat, and said, "Nuclear power, let's Wen Ji...let's forget it."
The simplest thing is, if Wen Ji wants to build a nuclear power plant, it is estimated that the common people in Wen Ji will be incited to make a fuss first, and Gu Gang feels shuddering when he thinks about it.
Nan Ming smiled and said, "Then I can cross out the option of nuclear energy in the development plan formulated for Wenji."
If Gu Gang knew what he was rejecting, he would definitely regret it deeply.
Nuclear fusion is hard for others.
It was also quite difficult for Nan Ming, but it was only difficult.
If you want to do it, you can still do it.
It's just that he will use a method that is close to cheating.
Turning over this page, several people chatted again. Gu Gang dismissed the deputy county magistrate just now, quietly grabbed Nan Ming, and asked, "Brother Nan, in your plan, there are other things besides nuclear power." What?"
Nan Ming smiled and asked, "Brother Gu, what do you think about electric cars?"
"Electric car?" Gu Gang was actually a little disappointed when he heard the words, "Uh, Yardi's electric car is not bad?"
"Pfft..." Nan Ming burst out laughing.
Gu Gang was a little puzzled, and said: "What's the matter? Don't you think Yadi is not good? I think the Yadi store in our county is quite popular..."
Nan Ming laughed so hard that he almost couldn't get up. After a long while, Nan Ming took a breath and said, "Brother Gu, you are so humorous. I have been relying on this joke until a few years ago. Alive."
Gu Gang was tongue-tied, he never thought he was so humorous?
"I mean electric cars, such as Tesla, or BYD Qin..." Nan Ming shook his head.
"Electric car?" Gu Gang was startled, and the two-wheeled and three-wheeled electric car that appeared in his mind immediately disappeared, and turned into a tall product with four wheels and a T-shaped logo.
When it comes to electric vehicles, Tesla is of course the hottest one. Now some tycoons will buy a Tesla to experience it as a new toy.
The acceleration advantages and simple structure that electric vehicles can't match with internal combustion engine vehicles are basically the future of the automotive industry.
"What do you think if we build the world's largest electric vehicle factory in Wenji?" Nan Ming asked with narrowed eyes.
"Here we are?" Gu Gang stared, "Those big companies are all located in various automobile parks, why did they come to Wenji?"
Gu Gang himself didn't believe it.
"I've planted sycamore trees for you, and you're still worried that you won't be able to attract the Golden Phoenix?" Nan Ming raised his head and looked at the factory building in front of him.
Gu Gang followed Nan Ming's gaze and looked over.
The factory building of Nanxia Battery is a standard steel structure factory building. From a distance, it is not very conspicuous, and it is no different from other factory buildings.
The gate is not particularly grand, it is low-key and practical. The words "Nanxia Battery" are written on the wall, which is very low-key.
Gu Gang himself has complained several times, why not build something more grand.
He never thought that Nanxia Battery would be a sycamore tree, a sycamore tree that could attract golden phoenixes.
"Battery is the biggest bottleneck in the electric vehicle industry now. If batteries that are more stable, cheaper, and energy efficient than ordinary lithium batteries start to appear on the market, who do you think will come?"
Gu Gang's eyes widened, and he followed the train of thought drawn by Nan Ming. Why don't manufacturers of electric vehicles go crazy and come to Nanxia Battery?
"At that time, we will add an additional clause to the conditions of cooperation." Nan Ming said.
"Must the factory be built in Wenji?" Gu Gang stared wide-eyed.
Nan Ming smiled and nodded.
"Ha! Hahahaha!" Gu Gang burst into laughter suddenly, Nan Ming was right, if there was a sycamore tree, wouldn't it be possible to recruit the golden phoenix?
Nanming said that he is not that greedy to build Wenji into the world's largest electric car factory, as long as any big car manufacturer builds a small factory in Wenji, he will be satisfied.
What is the automotive industry? It is a real and mature pillar industry, and an industry that cannot be separated from the national economy and the people's livelihood.
And any well-run automobile factory can solve the employment problem of this small town, make this small town a national-level wealthy county, and allow a large number of Wenji people to live a better life.
And then diverge your thinking, better batteries are not only important for electric vehicles? It plays a vital role in the entire future of technology. At the beginning, Nanming left Xia Yiyao behind, but now, the battery factory jointly invested by Nanming and Xia Yiyao has completely become a factory in Gu Gang's eyes. A towering sycamore tree.
In the not-too-distant future, this sycamore tree will be covered with phoenixes of various colors.
Gu Gang turned around abruptly, stretched out his arms to hug Nan Ming, and was about to kiss him hard, but Nan Ming was frightened, and dodged to hide away, looking at Gu Gang with a perverted expression.
Then the two looked at each other and laughed.
While laughing, Nan Ming took out the business card of Xingda Optoelectronics Hu Zhuofei from his arms, and threw it away.
Forget it, racing with him is boring, isn't that bullying? Forget it anyway.
The business card fluttered and flew out, and then one person bent over and picked it up, looked at Nan Ming and Gu Gang who were laughing over there, and frowned deeply.
"Who is that person?" Hu Zhuofei wondered. (To be continued.)
