Chapter 629: Deception
December 24th.
It’s approaching the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
Huang Weichang, who had circled around the song, took the train with his subordinates to Damxiong City.
Damxung is located in the valley plain of Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain, and is also the only way to go south to Lhasa. When the train stops at Damxung Station.
The dark clouds in the sky have subsided, perhaps because of the barrier of the mountains. In the snowy area with an average altitude of about 4,000 meters, the sunshine here is particularly hot.
The assistant underestimated the harsh sunshine in the snowy area. Huang Weichang took out a bottle of sunscreen and handed it over: "Apply it! Otherwise, it is easy to get sunburned by ultraviolet rays."
"Thank you, Mr. Huang." The assistant was not polite and hurriedly applied sunscreen to his face and exposed limbs. Several inexperienced employees were also applying sunscreen.
Wearing snow-proof glasses, everyone found the minibus and two Dongfeng off-road vehicles they had been waiting for.
The convoy made twists and turns and drove into a tunnel.
This tunnel crosses the northern branch of the eastern section of Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain and connects Damxung City with Namtso. Namtso is a large saltwater lake and the birthplace of ancient Zhangzhung culture.
In fact, in order to develop snowy areas, the locals used the technology derived from the Wuding Project to dig a large number of tunnels in the snowy areas.
After all, there are four super mountain ranges in the snowy area, namely the Tanggula Mountains, the Nyenchen Tanggula Mountains, the Himalayas, and the Hengduan Mountains. These super mountain ranges seriously block transportation between the local area and the outside world.
Facing this kind of super mountain range, there is no way to build a winding mountain highway. Even if it is built reluctantly, future maintenance will be a huge trouble.
For example, National Highway 219 and National Highway 109, which have not yet been upgraded, have become covered with snow during continuous heavy snowfalls, causing large-scale traffic disruptions in some areas.
The almost semi-enclosed super highway not only clears the snow very quickly, but also the railway at the bottom basically does not need to worry about weather changes.
The 318 National Highway, which runs through the whole line, has become the traffic lifeline of the snowy area. This is the future transportation development direction of the snowy area.
Therefore, many road plans in snowy areas are prepared with two hands.
The first is to lay out temporary cement roads. To a certain extent, these temporary cement roads are actually shoddy projects. They are mainly designed to ensure traffic for a few years.
The second is to plan the main lines and branch lines of the super highway. Those plans and designs are very advanced. At least they must ensure that no major changes are needed in the next 100 years after completion.
For example, the Namtso-Nyenchen Tanglha Tunnel that Huang Weichang's motorcade passes now is a mountain tunnel planned in advance.
There are many similar mountain tunnels built, under construction, or planned in snowy areas.
Considering that snowy areas may encounter extreme blizzard weather in the future, the super highways designed in this area have enlarged the closed domes of the highways.
Moreover, these closed domes and the railway hidden on the second level have also become one of the factors that other forces are very afraid of.
The defense strength of super highways is very high and the concealment is very strong. Spy satellites in outer space have no way to monitor the internal conditions of these super highways.
This situation makes it difficult for major forces to judge the mobilization of troops and materials.
In addition, there are many warehouses, underground bases, and underground factories hidden in the mountains. There is no way for the outside world to accurately calculate these things.
Who knows what is hidden deep in those mountains.
The place Huang Wei often goes to is one of the secret areas hidden in the mountains. After exiting the 22-kilometer-long tunnel, he advanced about 14.6 kilometers southwest.
The group of people came to the Namtso Geothermal Power Station, a power station that sells itself like sheep.
This power station is backed by a branch of Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain, and a huge nuclear power plant has been built inside the mountain.
That's right, this nuclear power plant uses nuclear fusion technology and is one of the three controllable nuclear fusion power plants built by Suiren in China.
At present, controllable nuclear fusion technology, whether it is the Yugu type of the Suiren series or the Jinwu type of the China National Nuclear Corporation, has developed to the 1.5th generation.
Because the plan is very urgent, the controllable nuclear fusion power station is being constructed and improved at the same time.
Compared with the original Yutani-type controllable nuclear fusion technology, the 1.5-generation technology has improved in terms of power generation efficiency and reduction in system size.
The geothermal power station is used as a cover. On the one hand, it is because the snowy area has abundant geothermal resources. On the other hand, the Suiren Department is deliberately misleading the outside world.
Recently, the Scientific Research Department of the Suiren Department has published many papers on geothermal energy, such as the development and utilization of lunar geothermal energy, the development and utilization of geothermal energy in the southwest, and the development and utilization of ultra-deep geothermal energy.
Among them, the development and utilization of ultra-deep geothermal energy is the focus of strategic deception, and even some ambiguous information is leaked to the outside through a few "hidden" chess pieces for a long time.
The Suisui people have developed a new technology that can exploit geothermal energy deep underground.
As for the frequent neutrino signals, it is because underground magma was dug out, and magma containing a large amount of radioactive material surged to the surface.
As for whether the outside world believes it or not, I believe it anyway.
Huang Weichang and Qin Lizhang exchanged some information. Through the underground Shunfenger system in North America and Xizhou, they were basically sure that the other party had believed it.
Just two months ago, Noah would secretly set up a geological institute in Oregon and start digging holes.
At the same time, a large number of geothermal energy experts and scholars, as well as five related companies, were mobilized to begin research on deep geothermal power generation technology.
Indeed, this strategic deception is not entirely a deception. The potential power generation capacity of deep geothermal energy is comparable to that of controllable nuclear fusion.
After all, the upper layer of the earth's mantle is the birthplace of magma. This heat energy comes from nuclear decay and nuclear fission in the earth's core and mantle.
However, deep geothermal energy faces many technical problems. High pressure, high temperature and radioactivity alone are enough to kill humans.
The idea is wonderful, but the materials cannot bear it.
It’s just that Noah will have to bite the bullet and follow up, because they know that once the world cools down, energy issues will come to the fore.
Either burn a large amount of fossil fuels, but the cost of extracting fossil fuels is getting higher and higher. Sooner or later, the coal, oil and natural gas in the shallow layers of the earth will be exhausted. The further you dig down, the higher the cost will be.
Either build a large number of nuclear power plants. The problem is that nuclear fuel is not unlimited, especially the current main raw material for nuclear fission, uranium-235, whose geological abundance is very low.
Moreover, Australia has the largest uranium reserves in the world, accounting for about 28 to 30% of the world's total reserves. The second place is Kazakhstan with 19%, followed by Lucia, Maple Leaf Country and other regions.
The Americas under the control of Noah's Society only have about 22% of the world's uranium reserves.
Although scientific research projects on thorium nuclear fission reactors have been launched, the technology is not yet very mature and requires further investment.
With no clue about controllable nuclear fusion technology, nuclear fission faces a shortage of raw materials, so it must be considered for the future.
The deep geothermal energy technology that Suiren is "secretly" researching has become a channel for quickly obtaining energy.
Noah Hui, who was deceived into engaging in geothermal energy, did not know that Suiren's deep geothermal energy power station was actually trying to sell dog meat.
Huang Weichang and his party entered the interior of the nuclear fusion power plant after a series of inspections.
