Chapter 556 Fried Himalayas? What a Joke!

Chapter 556 Fried Himalayas? What a joke!

ten minutes later,

Six experts from the strategy department of Xinghai Group gathered in the small meeting room on the 98th floor. They were a little curious about what the chairman called to discuss.

After Mu Yang waited for everyone to sit down, he outlined the idea of ​​the "Eternal Project" of East Water Transfer to West.

Before he finished speaking, everyone was stunned by shock, and the expression of astonishment was deeply engraved on the faces of each of them, staring at Mu Yang, there was an idea in their hearts: Chairman, you are not joking!

Individual experts want to say "impossible".

Seeing these surprised expressions, Mu Yang thought to himself: "Sure enough, it's something to challenge the limits of the world. I guess I feel my brain is burnt out."

Next, Mu Yang explained his idea very patiently, and gave a general technical solution, so that everyone gradually began to believe in the feasibility of this idea.

"Of course, I'm not an expert in this area, and I'll have to invite relevant experts to analyze it. Now, everyone, let's talk freely and talk about your own ideas." Mu Yang continued to make the atmosphere more active.

Letting everyone come is actually to prepare everyone mentally. He also wants to hear their opinions. This is Mu Yang's habit, so as not to make mistakes in making big decisions.

An expert said: "Chairman, I have read a report on desert greening before, saying that the Himalayas blocked thundercumulus clouds, so why not just blow up the Himalayas and let the clouds float to our country Come? Then there will be no shortage of water in the desert area close to the mountains."

"You think the Himalayas belong to our country, and you can blow them up if you want." Zhou Chen laughed.

"Haha, Expert Liu's idea is difficult to realize, and desertification requires a lot of water, which is not enough." Expert Yang Han couldn't help laughing.

After hearing this suggestion, Mu Yang couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Hehe, the idea of ​​the Himalayas is indeed very creative, but it is very difficult to implement.

First of all, the Himalayas are located between our country and the three countries of Afghanistan, and it involves national border issues, so it is impossible to blow up casually.

Secondly, even if we are allowed to blow up, even if we can really blow the clouds to our country, it will reduce the water sources in other areas and make environmental problems more complicated. Do you think the other party is willing?

Therefore, we need more scientific methods to alleviate desertification. "

"Well, the chairman is right. The bombing of the Himalayas was a joke. If it really happened, people would think we were testing a nuclear bomb, haha." Expert Liu said with a shy smile.

Everyone continued to discuss and talked about many plans.

"It would be great if Lake Baikal belonged to us. I heard that the lake covers an area of ​​more than 30,000 square kilometers, accounting for more than 20% of the world's fresh water reserves."

"Don't think about the lakes in Xiong Country, there is a country in the middle, let's talk about something practical."

"I suggest desalinating Qinghai Lake first, or introducing water from other mountains."

Yang Han did not agree with drawing water from inland areas. He said: "The idea of ​​pumping fresh water from one area seems feasible, but in fact it has many adverse effects, such as the south-to-north water diversion. The diversion of water from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River may lead to droughts in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The drop in water level has directly changed the water ecosystem of the Yangtze River, resulting in a reduction in the number of fish, aquatic animals and plants and ecological imbalance.

This kind of solution is like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. It is impossible to pump water from the inside.

But the water source of the sea is different. For the mainland, it is inexhaustible.

In fact, the chairman's plan is feasible and directly solves the problem fundamentally.

However, there is a cost issue that needs to be considered. To pump water from the sea to an altitude of one or two kilometers above sea level, the cost of electricity needs to be carefully considered. "

"The water pumping plan can be carried out in stages. For example, the whole journey is 1,500 kilometers, and the altitude is 1,500 meters. On average, the water level will be increased by one meter per kilometer.

First pumped to the high terrain of 30 meters above sea level, then flowed into the low terrain of 25 meters above sea level, with a length of 25 kilometers;

In the second stage, the water level is raised by another 30 meters and flows into the terrain at an altitude of 50 meters.

Of course, I'm just hypothesizing, and the specific distribution method needs to be analyzed by experts.

As for the concern about the cost of electricity, we can use natural resources, develop solar power stations and wind power stations, or invent new energy technologies that are specially used to pump water to reduce costs. "

Mu Yang looked at everyone's discussion and said: "My original thought, to get water from the sea, is that taking water from the inland will cause damage to the ecosystem and reduce the number of organisms, and the water from the sea is indispensable for the mainland. It's a better choice.

Moreover, water consumption cannot be solved by a single lake. "

According to his dream of the Eternal Project, the area of ​​the desert to be transformed is over one million square kilometers. The amount of water used by a Qinghai Lake may seem huge, but it is not enough at all.

Therefore, taking water from the sea is a more sensible choice, and it can also supply fresh water to the north, and can also replenish the south water through the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

Kill three birds with one stone!

In this case, there will be very few droughts in Hua Country.

This kind of plan is very scientific and reasonable, and it also takes into account the premise of ecological and environmental protection to minimize the impact on the ecosystem.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Mu Yang's opinion.

An expert said: "Now that we have decided on the plan of taking water from the sea, we plan to build seawater desalination plants to treat seawater into fresh water that can be used for agriculture, industry and domestic water, and then transport and use it instead of seawater. It will be processed after being transported to the destination."

"Yes, not only that, we will build water pipelines and reservoirs in a way that minimizes damage to the ecosystem, and at the same time carry out ecological compensation and environmental protection work." Zhou Chen also agreed.

"We have to make the desalination equipment first, and at the same time conduct greening experiments in the desert, and build a test field. Only when the effect is obvious and the cost is not high, can we convince the higher authorities to support this eternal project."

"That's right, the general direction is like this. After all, this is not a small project."

Everyone is very gratified after discussing this point. They believe that, with the dual promotion of science and technology and environmental protection, the Thousand Years Project will be successfully completed and the desert will become more prosperous and beautiful.

At the same time, they also understand that this requires long-term investment and continuous improvement, which cannot be achieved overnight.

But as long as we persevere and take one step at a time, we will be able to achieve this great goal in the end.

In the end, Mu Yang concluded: "For the East-to-West Water Diversion project, you first set up a project team, invite relevant experts to analyze it, and come up with a detailed plan.

Don't consider desalination equipment and desalination cost, that's our company's business, what you need to consider is possible environmental, geographical and social problems, and how to solve these problems when they arise. "

"There is one more thing to explain, our star network is already in operation.

In terms of spaceflight, the Xingkong-2 rocket and the space station are being developed. After launching the space station, our next step is the manned test. Now is the time to recruit astronauts and start training. "

After Mu Yang finished speaking, Zhou Chen asked: "Chairman, I suggest that astronauts be recruited internally first, and if no suitable one is found, they should be recruited externally."

Mu Yang thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, you can watch the execution, if there is nothing else, let's end today's meeting."

After the meeting,

Zhou Chen discussed with Zhang Xiaofeng, and then asked the personnel department to prepare the recruitment and training plan for astronauts, as well as courses such as physical training, space adaptability and crisis management.

They know very well that excellent astronauts not only require excellent skills and physical conditions, but also take into account factors such as their psychological quality, decision-making ability, and teamwork spirit.

Another very important point is that astronauts must be loyal to the company.

Today, under the leadership of Mu Yang and Zhou Chen, with the development of Xingkong-2 rocket and space station, the company's business has gradually expanded from satellite communication to space exploration and manned spaceflight, and their space exploration team is also growing day by day. Become an indispensable and important force in Huaguo's aerospace industry.

a few days later,

Mu Yang came to the astronaut training base.

Astronaut training requires the use of a series of high-tech facilities, including zero-gravity simulators, attitude control systems, simulation cabins, vacuum chambers, simulators, etc.

These equipment companies are developing, and the vacuum chamber has already been built.

In space, astronauts need to face extreme environmental conditions, such as vacuum, high radiation and microgravity.

The vacuum chamber can simulate the vacuum conditions in the space environment, allowing astronauts to learn how to adapt and deal with these extreme environments.

The company's space suits are under development, and we have bought several sets of extravehicular space suits from China for training.

Mu Yang came to the room where the spacesuit was stored, looked at the silver-white suit in front of him, and tried to pick it up, but it felt too heavy, so he couldn't help complaining:

"It's too heavy!"

"Yes, Chairman, this extravehicular spacesuit weighs about 120 kilograms, which is too heavy. Astronauts who use the spacesuit need to go through long-term physical training to get used to it. Moreover, the space is very small and it is difficult to perform cumbersome operations. "A scientific researcher saw the chairman inspecting the spacesuit and helped to introduce it.

"This dress is too bulky, you need someone to help you put it on?"

"Yeah, one person can't do it. I tried it on, and the pressure is uneven."

"It seems that you are quite familiar with this spacesuit."

"Fortunately, I don't really understand it, but after wearing it a few times, I found a lot of problems."

Mu Yang nodded, with great interest: "I'll try it on and feel it, and you put it on for me, by the way, what's your name?"

In the future, if he wants to go into space, he will definitely have to wear it, but he definitely cannot accept such a bloated and heavy space suit.

"Chairman, my name is Chen Feng, one of the designers in charge of the interior cabin."

Chen Feng agreed, just ask the chairman to take off his coat and shoes, and then he helped Mu Yang put on the underwear and underwear of the space suit, and then put on the tight-fitting bottom space suit.

This layer of spacesuit must be very close to the body to ensure that the body will not suffer damage due to drastic changes.

Next comes the oxygen equipment and ventilation system, then the outer spacesuit, and finally the helmet and gloves.

The whole wearing process takes about fifteen minutes. Ah Feng put Mu Yang on the space suit and explained: "Chairman, each layer of the space suit has its own function, which can ensure the safety in space."

"Isn't it very uncomfortable to have so many layers of space suits?" Mu Yang asked, he felt heavy and suffocated, and he was already sweating. If it wasn't for his good physical fitness, he probably wouldn't be able to wear it.

"Yes, it's uncomfortable, but the temperature in space is sometimes very low, and you still feel very cold wearing such a thick space suit." Chen Feng replied.

Mu Yang pondered, thinking that if he wants to go into space, he must find a lighter and more comfortable spacesuit.

After wearing it, Mu Yang tried to walk a few steps, but it was too difficult to walk.

But in space, when something happens, the space suit is his only protection, so he must wear it.

It is estimated that only when it is in space, it will not feel any weight.

After trying to walk for a few minutes, the experience was really bad, so Mu Yang asked Chen Feng to help him take off the spacesuit.

A few minutes later, Mu Yang found himself sweating a lot.

The weather in City H was cool at the end of March, and it would be even more uncomfortable in summer.

Mu Yang left the astronaut training base, he planned to see the situation of the extravehicular spacesuit designed by the company.

If he is not satisfied, it is estimated that he will have to purchase technology development from the reading system store.

He is not omnipotent, he can even design extravehicular spacesuits, which must rely on plug-ins.

Mu Yang returned to Xinghai Building, went to the company's space exploration and design department, and directly found the engineer in charge of the extravehicular space suit design.

The engineer introduced him to the latest extravehicular spacesuit design, including materials, equipment and functions.

Mu Yang carefully checked every design detail and put forward his own suggestions and ideas to the engineers.

The engineer listened to his opinion very carefully and explained the relevant technical difficulties and feasibility to him.

When Mu Yang returned to his office, he remembered that the plan designed by the engineer was too difficult to meet his requirements, so he sighed: "I have to do it myself."

In 2022, SPACEX has created a spacesuit with sleek lines and an avant-garde helmet that looks like a space suit from a sci-fi blockbuster.

It's an in-cabin spacesuit, though, so it looks stylish.

This kind of spacesuit in the cabin is usually worn to protect the astronauts when launching and returning to Earth, especially when the spacecraft is in danger (such as gas leaks or sudden changes in air pressure).

If it is inside the cabin of a space station, the pressure is normal, there is oxygen supply, and casual clothes are fine.

The structure of the extravehicular spacesuit is very complex, with pressurization and inflation functions, which can defend against space rays and micrometeorite attacks. The spacesuit has a communication system and a life support system.

Now, Mu Yang wants to design spacesuits inside and outside the cabin together, paying more attention to comfort and convenience, so as to ensure that astronauts can move freely in the space environment for a long time.

It's not that spacesuit designers in various countries have not thought of this, but are restricted by various conditions.

For example, high-strength, wear-resistant, and cut-resistant materials are required, and light weight and softness are required. This requirement alone is very difficult.

Try to update as much as possible, but it is inevitable that there will be some water, please understand.
