One Thousand Six Hundred and Forty-Four

Moreover, the climate in Inner Mongolia is mostly dry and cold throughout the year. Even in summer, the temperature will not be too high, which saves the cost of turning on the air conditioner to cool down the mining machine.

In addition to that time period, the local government also promulgated many preferential policies to stimulate various mining 'factories' to land locally.

So in the past few years, a large number of mining factories settled in this area.

But soon as there are more and more factories like this, the power consumption is getting bigger and bigger, and it has even seriously affected the power usage in the capital city and the Yangtze River Delta region.

The end of those mines is coming...

Especially in this winter, there was even a problem of electricity shortage in some areas in the south.

There are even some places where power cuts have occurred that have not occurred for many years.

These phenomena caused heated discussions at that time.

Some people said that it was because we sanctioned the Kangaroo country and did not import their coal.

As a result, the coal supply of domestic thermal power plants is insufficient.

In fact, whenever he heard this, Yao Zhiguang wanted to laugh.

These fools must know that if our country is willing, it can become the world's largest coal producer in minutes. How can it be short of coal?

Although our country's coal, there are a lot of low-quality coal.

But as long as it is coal, it can be used to burn boilers.

Even if the thermal efficiency is lower, as long as you have enough supply, you don't have to worry about power shortage.

And the reason why there will be a shortage of electricity in the southern region during that time.

One reason is that this year's winter is indeed longer than usual, and the other is that there are more cold waves this year than in previous years.

There is a lot of snowfall and a lot of cooling weather, so many residents in the south have to turn on the air conditioner to keep warm at night.

This has resulted in increased electricity load at night.

On the other hand, due to the global pandemic, many foreign companies have suspended production.

This has led to a surge in orders from domestic industrial enterprises. In order to ensure the 24-hour non-stop production of these factories, this has greatly increased power consumption.

On the other hand,

Because orders increase in winter.

Private bosses in some places have started to get hotheaded again.

For example, seeing that there are many orders during this period, they blindly increase production, thinking that this situation can continue.

I didn't think about it at all. The explosion of the bomb happened entirely because many foreign factories were unable to produce due to the impact of the pandemic abroad.

That's why we had to transfer the order to us.

The current international situation is that Western companies headed by the United States have discovered the phenomenon of over-concentration of the industrial chain in our country.

So they are creating a new business structure that excludes us from the supply chain.

This is also the reason why many foreign joint ventures in China have withdrawn their investment and invested in Southeast Asia.

For example, Japanese and Korean companies have retreated very much recently.

Sansang, in particular, has basically given up its factories in China.

Basically all important production lines have been transferred to South Korea.

Pity there are so many things in the country that are still screaming, the world cannot do without our supply chain.

Even if those factories are moved abroad, they will move back sooner or later, and they will regret it.

Because those places are corrupt and the infrastructure is backward...

Those words smelled sour and self-numbing.

Of course, you can’t say too much here, because if you say too much, it will attract the iron tongs of the Great God of Harmony...

Anyway, just look at the stocks of a few fruit suppliers on the domestic A-share market.

It was really awesome before, and after being kicked out of the supply chain by those who said that they could not do without the domestic supply chain, the tragedy of their stocks will know what is going on.

So don't look at many companies, the name is very tall, and the important industry is also the electronics industry.

But if you don't have your own core technology, you can be replaced by others in minutes and you will be kicked out.

Turning back to the topic, the reason why the southern region cut off the power at that time.

In fact, only the top is consciously controlling it, and those small factories and private owners are blindly increasing production capacity.

Of course, as for the lack of power, there are indeed some reasons.

The reason for the lack of electricity was also because there were a large number of mining factories in Mengjiang Province at that time.

Because the electricity price here is cheap, it also has natural advantages in cooling.

Coupled with the skyrocketing price of BT coins at that time, it triggered a crazy investment boom.

The establishment of a large number of factories will increase the local power consumption.

This also affects the power supply provided by the local thermal power plant to the capital and the southeast coast.

Originally, these areas supplied power to the capital and the developed areas along the southeast coast, which was more than enough in terms of the installed capacity of their power plants.

But once these factories start working, it will be a bit overwhelmed.

After all, these mining factories are basically running 24 hours a day.

For such a factory, the biggest annual cost is the cost of electricity.

And now the global electricity consumption for BT coin mining is 29.05 kWh every year.

And every kilowatt-hour is equal to one billion kWh...

Therefore, a large number of mining factories in the Mengjiang area have seriously affected the power supply security in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the southeast coastal areas.

Therefore, at the beginning of the year, the state has explicitly prohibited the opening of mining factories in the Mengjiang area.

Recently, Mengjiang Province has also launched an action to clear a large number of mining factories.

This makes these miners feel very distressed.

In China, it is very rare to find places with such cheap electricity prices and stable power supply.

Some people say that it can be transferred to the southwest region with abundant hydropower.

It's a pity that people who say this are basically ignorant...

We must know that the reason why thermal power can become the main mode of power supply in our country is because it is the most stable mode of power supply.

Others, whether it is solar energy, wind power, or hydropower, have their own shortcomings.

You are like solar power and wind power, which seem to be environmentally friendly, but are actually very unstable.

Just look at the tragedy of Texas in the United States during the outbreak of the Great Cold Wave this year.

Many residential users have lost power to their homes, and the price of electricity has soared to a crazy level of one hundred dollars a time.

The poor deserve the cold if they can't afford electricity.

The reason for this is that a large number of thermal power plants have been closed in Texas.

Because they built a large number of solar power and wind power generation equipment.

In normal times, the electricity generated by these devices is enough to replace the electricity generated by thermal power plants.

But no one expected to encounter such extreme weather. Heavy snow fell for several days, not only covering the solar power plant's daylighting panels, but even freezing the adapters.

At the same time, it also froze the main shaft of the large windmill that generates wind power...

As a result, many wind power plants, and solar power plants simply do not work properly...

As for hydropower, it seems to be very environmentally friendly.

But in fact, once a hydropower station is built, it is necessary to block the water and build a dam.

And doing so will seriously damage the natural environment downstream of the water system.

In recent years, the Poyang Lake in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River has been dry and even bottomed out year after year, which has already explained the problem.

You must know that this is one of the five famous freshwater lakes in my country...

Now it's been years after year, and it will dry up in winter...

In fact, many scholars have already proposed that this is because of the construction of dams and hydropower stations in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

As well as the upstream of the surrounding water system, caused by the random construction of hydropower stations.

But even if these problems are reflected, there will be too much thunder and little rain.

Because many small hydropower stations are basically invested by individuals, even if they will affect the environment, it is impossible for you to dismantle them.

Another important problem is the hydropower station, that is, the unstable power supply.

Because hydropower stations will encounter problems in wet and dry seasons.

For example, every year in winter, if there is insufficient precipitation, we will face the problem of dry water.

This will lead to insufficient power generation...

So those who say to move the mining factory to the Southwest are generally stupid...

Back to the topic, as far as Yao Zhiguang knows, there are a lot of private capital in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai who want to build power plants.

But the power plant they are going to build this time is not that kind of hydropower plant, but a waste incineration power plant.

You must know that it was very difficult for private capital to enter this field in the past.

If you want to build a hydropower station, you can still brush the ball a lot, and the higher-ups don't have much opposition.

But if you want to enter the thermoelectric system, it is quite difficult.

Because this field is basically strictly controlled by the state.

But when it comes to waste-to-energy plants, it's a different story.

First of all, this kind of power plant is mainly for the purpose of incinerating garbage, and secondly, it is for generating electricity by the way.

As for the economically developed Yangtze River Delta region, the large amount of domestic waste generated in the city every day is the most troublesome problem for them.

After all, there are nearly 200 million people living in this area, and the amount of domestic waste produced every day is an astronomical figure.

In the past, it could only be disposed of by landfill.

But now there is basically no place to landfill.

The best way to dispose of solid domestic waste is to burn it.

And incineration of this kind of garbage can only be done by CFB boilers.

His brother's solid waste disposal company is called Pegasus End Domestic Waste Disposal Center.

Two super large CFB boilers imported from Finland are used as the main combustion equipment.

And the Jiangsu and Zhejiang capitals that are in contact with his brother now also build such waste incineration plants.

However, what is currently stuck is the introduction of the CFB boiler.

It's not that there is no money, the main reason is that the foreign party's asking price is too harsh for such a high-end boiler.

Don't look at the equipment, it looks like a stupid boiler, but in fact there are many unique techniques and equipment in it.

For example, the combustion bed, the blower, and the electronic control program, equipment, etc. are the core technologies that people have mastered.

If there is a company in China that can replace them, then Yao Zhiguang firmly believes that those bosses will definitely not be stingy about paying for the purchase of boilers...
