Chapter 877 Return to Asia-Pacific

The technology of High Concentrated Photo Voltaics (HCPV) is slightly different from that of silicon-based photovoltaics. This technology uses a focusing system to focus light on a certain area into a small area (focal spot) through focusing. Solar cells only need the size of the focal spot, which greatly reduces the amount of solar cells used. Under the same conditions, the higher the magnification, the smaller the required solar cell area.

This technology has developed rapidly in Europe and the United States because of its advantages such as high efficiency, low cost and environmental protection.

However, there is one thing, that is, with the cost of silicon-based photovoltaic solar panels, it has dropped significantly after China joined, and the economic benefits of HCPV, which originally had an advantage in cost, have begun to become less obvious.

Moreover, HCPV has another disadvantage, that is, although increasing the "mirror" arranged on the ground, that is, increasing its concentration magnification, can reduce the cost of HCPV overall.

However, the increase is also limited. After all, the purpose of the mirror is to focus the sunlight on one point. Therefore, all the mirrors need to be controlled by a "light-chasing system" to ensure that the light can always be focused on one point as the position of the sun changes relative to the ground. Therefore, the more mirrors there are, that is, the higher the "light-concentration ratio", the more complicated the light-chasing system will be...

The above reasons led to the fact that concentrated photovoltaic projects will be more competitive in areas with abundant sunlight resources. Therefore, it is most appropriate to build concentrated photovoltaic projects in many areas such as the Middle East and Africa.

This is also why Saudi Arabia's investment is more interested in research on concentrated photovoltaics.

At present, United Energy Group plans to cooperate with Saudi VisionElectro to build a concentrated photovoltaic power station with an annual power generation of more than 500 megawatt-hours next year. After completion, it will exceed the concentrated photovoltaic project built by SolFocus in the Bahla region of Saudi Arabia and become the largest photovoltaic power station in Saudi Arabia.

After accumulating experience from this project, United Energy Group will continue to cooperate with West African Power Group to build Africa's largest concentrated photovoltaic power station in Kolo.

"Tonight, more than 200 years after a colony won its autonomy, we come here and keep moving forward.

This is mainly because you firmly believe that this country can realize the eternal hope and the dream of immigrants. We are a big family, and we fight together as one country and one nation.

…

Whether you voted in person or called to vote, whether you voted for me or Romney, your voice was heard by everyone, and you made some changes to our country. I just called Romney and congratulated him on his victory in this difficult and outstanding battle..."

On November 4, Obama defeated Democratic candidate Romney in the US election and won re-election.

Later, he delivered a victory speech at the McCormick Place in Chicago.

It can be said that the US election at this time can still be wrapped in a warm coat, and the contradiction between the red and blue is not so sharp.

And basically, the United States is still the most powerful country on the planet. Although its performance in Iraq and Afghanistan is not satisfactory, it can still be called a "beacon" and has not shown the fatigue like Barron did when he was reborn.

At the same time, O'Kane's re-election also means that in the next term, he will continue the strategic adjustment of the United States proposed earlier this year, that is, the "return to the Asia-Pacific" strategy.

As early as January 5 this year, O'Kane had published the "New National Defense Strategy", abandoning the "two-front" strategy of winning two wars in the Middle East and Asia at the same time, and proposed to shift the focus of the United States to the Asia-Pacific region-it is well known that the United States likes to set up a priority imaginary enemy for itself and contain it strategically.

During the Cold War when the two powers competed for hegemony, its imaginary enemy was naturally the Soviet Union. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, although the United States and Russia had a honeymoon period on the surface, in fact, the imaginary enemy of the United States is still Russia, which inherited most of the Soviet Union's legacy.

Now Obama's "new national defense strategy" naturally regards the Eastern powers as their primary containment target...

At the annual Shangri-La Dialogue that closed on June 3 this year, US Defense Secretary Panetta proposed the US "Asia-Pacific Rebalancing Strategy", pointing out that the United States will transfer a batch of naval warships to the Asia-Pacific region before 2020, and 60% of US warships will be deployed in the Pacific by then.

Then in November, Obama visited Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia, and chose the Asia-Pacific region for his first visit after his re-election, marking that the US "Asia-Pacific Rebalancing" strategy has entered a new stage.

In addition, the Middle East is not calm.

As early as March this year, the most serious conflict in three years broke out between Israel and Hamas.

On November 14, Israel launched a military operation called "Pillar of Defense" against the Gaza Strip. Hamas military leader Jabari was killed in the bombing, and more than 300 casualties were caused to Palestine.

Hamas responded with rocket attacks on Jerusalem and Tel Aviv - the first such attack on the Israeli capital since the 1991 Gulf War.

This also made Hamas gain more support from the people in Palestine, and later, major Arab countries expressed their support for Hamas. Egypt came forward to mediate the peace talks and facilitated a ceasefire between the two sides.

The United Arab Emirates, Jordan and other countries called on the international community to "no longer turn a blind eye to the fact that Israel occupied Palestinian territory, and hoped that the international community would adopt the Arab peace initiative and establish a fair peace in the Middle East."

However, it is obvious that this call will not have much effect. After all, Barron knew that until he was reborn in his previous life, the Palestinian-Israeli issue had not been resolved. On the contrary, Israel, with the support of the United States, was pressing forward step by step, and even openly massacred Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip...

Just after the Palestinian and Israeli sides reached a ceasefire again, a charity called "Hope Spark" adopted 50 Palestinian orphans who fled here in Lebanon, and these children were sent to Munger in Kolo.

Yes, the sponsor behind this adoption operation is Rami.

These adopted Palestinian children will enter Devonshire International School in Kolo Munger to study.

According to their wishes, some older boys will join the Protector Military Service Company after 2-3 years of study and receive corresponding military training.

In fact, the Protector Military Service Company itself has many employees from the Middle East - in the "illegal immigrant repatriation resettlement areas" in Benin and Ghana, many refugees from the Middle East were absorbed by Kolo and joined the Protector Military Service Company.

After all, the Protector Military Service Company has a lot of security work in Iraq, and there are some employees who can speak Arabic, which also facilitates them to do business there.

Therefore, it will not be too abrupt for these Palestinian orphans to join the Protector Military Service Company in the future.

As for whether these people choose to return to Palestine to continue their struggle in the future, or stay in Kolo, this is their own choice.
