Chapter 671 Blackout New Year’s Eve and Plant Design System

, the reborn tech upstart

After the New Year's Eve dinner, there will usually be a game of cards, but his family never plays cards, and can only watch the Spring Festival Gala with smokeless charcoal fire, which seems not so lively.

In fact, there is floor heating in his house, so there is no need to burn charcoal fires at all, but lighting a fire on New Year's Eve is a rural custom, even if it is not cold, it must be burned.

This smokeless charcoal was shipped by Yeshu with the help of Qilin Wood Industry Group. Although they have business in this field, the scale is not large, because the price of smokeless charcoal is still relatively high, and it cannot be sold much in China.

The vast rural areas will definitely not buy it, not to mention smokeless charcoal, even ordinary charcoal is not much bought, and many people only cut firewood directly from the mountains and burn firewood directly.

In the past, he also burned firewood at home, and put it in the center of the hall, and the firewood burned very vigorously. Then the whole family gathered around the firewood, eating snacks, and talking about their plans for the next year.

At that time, there was no electricity in the village, and kerosene lamps were used. After burning firewood, the kerosene lamps were even extinguished, because kerosene was quite expensive in rural areas.

Just when Ye Zishu's thoughts drifted a little far away, there was a sudden power outage. This seemed to be a New Year's Eve program that was kept every year, and everyone would not be surprised.

It’s just that in the past, power outages usually lasted half an hour to an hour, because the electricity consumption on New Year’s Eve was very stressful, and most of them were not really out of power, but problems with the lines.

There are even insufficient transformers in some villages, causing the voltage to be too low, and it is very laborious to connect lights and electrical appliances. This is the real situation of the domestic power grid now, which is very different from the decades after the previous life.

This year, the business of Kirin Energy Industrial Group will really start. The construction of a solar power station with an annual power generation capacity of 400 billion kWh should be able to alleviate the domestic electricity shortage.

More than 40,000 kilometers of superconducting backbone transmission lines will also be built, which will play a major role in regulating regional power distribution and can further reduce the frequency of power outages.

Fortunately, people in rural areas are mentally prepared for power outages. They light the prepared candles, and then everyone sits by the charcoal fire and talks by the dangling dim lights.

I thought the power outage would only last for half an hour, but I didn't expect that the power outage was a bit long. It took nearly two hours before they called, which was a bit unexpected.

It seems that the domestic power transmission capacity and power shortage are relatively poor. It is indeed a bit rare for such an important festival like New Year's Eve to have such a long power outage.

This shows that the country's infrastructure is somewhat unable to keep up with the needs of residents, and the shutdown for such a long time even on New Year's Eve shows that power outages are more commonplace in normal times.

"Dad, are there frequent power outages this year?" Ye Zishu asked.

"That's not true. How many times did you see and listen to electricity at home in the first half of the year? The main reason is that there were more and more power outages in the second half of the year. It may be that the power is really insufficient." His father said.

"Then is your stewed product production factory affected?" Ye Zishu asked.

"That's not true. If you want to shut down the power in the county, you will give priority to shutting down other areas of electricity. Places like factories generally don't shut down the power." His father said.

After listening to his father's words, he felt that the country's main focus is to protect the economy, especially in the county, where there are not many factories, and it will definitely give priority to ensuring the electricity consumption of industrial enterprises.

Otherwise, if the power goes out every now and then, the enterprises in the county will not be able to bear it. The power outages for residents are just inconvenient, and the power outages for industrial enterprises will face huge losses.

The brine factories like them are better. After all, the output value is not very large. If the Taiji Group's factory is out of power, the loss will be huge.

Their output is not enough to supply the market, as long as the production is produced, they can be exchanged for money. If there is a power outage, it will not only be a loss for the enterprise, but also a huge loss for the government.

He also noticed that the power shortage in the second half of the year was relatively serious, which may have a lot to do with his industries, especially the industries under the Kirin Industry Group, which were basically put into production in the second half of the year.

In addition to the substantial increase in the demand for electricity in his industries,

In addition, after Kirin Energy Industry Group's power generation plan was reported, the country slowed down the construction speed of thermal power generation.

In fact, the country is not short of money now. This year's foreign trade exports are very huge, and it earns a lot of money. However, considering the power generation plan of Kirin Energy Industry Group, it is a little hesitant to invest in thermal power plants.

The construction cycle of thermal power plants is relatively long, and the profit time is also relatively long. The most important thing is that the cost of power generation is relatively high, even in China, it is not cheap.

Some people are definitely worried about expanding the scale of thermal power generation at this time. After the solar energy project is launched, the thermal power business will suffer a lot and may face losses.

It may be based on this kind of thinking that I decided to wait. If Kirin Energy Industry Group can quickly increase the amount of solar power generation this year, it will not need to build a large number of thermal power stations.

The country's future power generation facilities will be concentrated in the field of hydropower, because state-owned enterprises do not have an advantage in the traditional power generation field, especially after the project declaration of Kirin Energy Industry Group is submitted.

Many people have seen the cost of solar power generation, and this cost is the cost announced by Kirin Energy Industry Group to the outside world, and the actual cost is much lower.

In order to survive in the future energy structure, expensive power generation methods must be abandoned, otherwise they will be at a disadvantage in the power market competition.

It has to be said that the current state-owned enterprises also have a certain sense of competition, which shows that the marketization of the domestic economy is becoming more and more accepted by the public, and even state-owned enterprises have to think this way.

It was already 10 o'clock when the call came again, and Ye Zishu continued to watch the Spring Festival Gala with his family until 12 o'clock when the door opened and firecrackers were set off, then he went upstairs to work in the study.

As for Ye Zihua and his father, they planned to continue the vigil until after dawn, and then went back to sleep for more than an hour. They would get up at 7:30 and prepare to pay New Year's greetings.

To be honest, the two days of Chinese New Year are actually quite tiring, and there are many things to do, but they don’t want to break the rules passed down from their ancestors. concentrated.

Back in the study, Ye Zishu continued to sort out the technical materials of spices. He planned to finish sorting out the technical materials related to 100 kinds of industrially produced spices tonight. Starting tomorrow, he would celebrate the New Year, and his working hours would be much less.

The main thing is that more time needs to be left to process biotechnology-related materials, and the Kirin Agricultural Development Company will be operational in the next year.

If he doesn't prepare some technical materials and scientific research projects, even if many scientific researchers know what they are doing, the efficiency will be very slow. It may take ten or eight years to produce results, and the day lily will be cold like this.

Last night he was still thinking about how to avoid the expansion of biotechnology. Today, when he was working during the day, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had a new idea.

Kylin Agricultural Development Group mainly focuses on the cultivation of crop varieties and the industrialization of meat production business. In fact, the technology is not particularly complicated.

For the cultivation of crop varieties, most of the safety is still guaranteed. In order to quickly promote the cultivation of crop varieties, he remembered the genetic analysis system he had promised Taiji Group.

It's just that he had to learn this knowledge himself before, thinking that he was not prepared enough at that time, so he kept procrastinating. Later, because the matter of Baihu Technology Company was more urgent, he procrastinated again.

This time, he plans to develop this system, as well as the medical research and development system that Taiji Group needs. Completing the research and development of these two systems can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Taiji Group.

And he plans to go further on the basis of these two systems, preparing to organize a more advanced plant design system. In fact, he wants to choose a higher name, but he thinks it is better to keep a low profile.

The plant design system does not sound like a good name, but it is actually very advanced. It can realize the artificial design of plants through the software system.

That is to say, the plants that need any functions can be designed in advance through this system. This starts from the genetic level, and then includes the design of plant habits and the design of the cultivation environment.

It can be said that with this system, plants are no longer just uncanny handicrafts of nature, and humans can also become participants in it, and the technical content can be imagined.

In fact, he originally wanted to come up with a limited variety of plant technology, so that he would not have to worry about the abuse of technology.

However, if this is done, the potential of the Qilin Agricultural Development Group will be fixed. If it is necessary to develop other varieties of plants in the future, he may be required to participate again, which he finds troublesome.

So simply develop a plant design system as a whole, just like industrial design, and let the researchers of Qilin Agricultural Development Group design any plant species according to the needs through this system.

However, there are also some restrictions in it. If the system thinks that the designed plants are very dangerous, the design process will be forcibly terminated.

In addition to the software design system, a whole set of implementation technologies is also required. If it is designed but cannot be implemented, it does not make much sense.

In order to speed up the efficiency of realization, it cannot be realized by using existing biotechnology, because the efficiency is too slow, and the possibility of accidents during the realization process is too high.

So he prepared a set of plant seed manufacturing technology, or a series of equipment, which can be connected with the plant design system.

After the plant design system completes the plant design work, and realizes the functions at the software system level, the design data can be directly transmitted to the seed manufacturing system.

Then, through the manufacturing process of these equipment, seeds that meet the design requirements can be produced, and the subsequent work is a process work, so there is no need to say more.

In fact, this set of seed manufacturing equipment is not particularly difficult. Kirin Basic Industry Group itself has the synthesis technology and equipment of organic substances such as protein, sugar, and fat.

With the above organic compound synthesis technology and equipment, more than half of the basic conditions are already met, and the rest is the work at the genetic level, and the technology he needs to sort out is also in this area.

However, the previous technologies are all industrial-level equipment and technology, which is still very different from the equipment used in the laboratory. Laboratory equipment requires higher precision, but also needs to be miniaturized and have higher technical content.

As for the theory of genetic design, he is not going to open it up, but hide it in the relevant system, otherwise it will be difficult to prevent the emergence of technology abuse.

In addition, he is also planning to develop an auxin that promotes plant growth. Otherwise, the growth cycle of some plants is too long, and the cultivation cycle is also not short, which wastes a lot of time.
