Chapter 185, 20 billion to build a Three Gorges in space
Outside the earth's space, a huge "Hercules" space plane soared into the sky and entered the earth's orbit directly. In the sky plane, Xie Feng, wearing the Fuyun Group space suit logo, Duan Yanpeng carefully drove the space plane slowly toward the space port of "Sky City".
This time their mission is to transport a large number of solar panels into space and prepare to build a fat solar power farm in space.
This plan was also proposed by Li Fu at the meeting. Huaxia is now vigorously encouraging private capital to participate in the construction of the space industry. Now there are thousands of space farmlands under construction in space. Only a small part of them belongs to the state, and most of the space farmland belongs to private.
The space solar energy plan is also a plan recently proposed by the country and strongly encouraged and supported development. The purpose is very clear, which is to reduce dependence on traditional energy, and more importantly, reduce dependence on foreign energy, so that China will not be choked by others and can be uncontrollable at critical moments.
As the most representative enterprise in the space field in China, Fuyun Group naturally sets an example for other people. Whether it is space agriculture or other space industries, Fuyun Group is a pioneer.
Solar power generation is actually very common in space. As small as satellites, they all have a pair of winged solar panels. As large as space stations, space cities, space farmlands, spacecraft, etc., they are all solar wings composed of many solar panels. These solar wings are actually intended to absorb solar energy and convert them into electricity, provide power for spacecraft, and increase their lifespan and endurance.
Many times, a pair of small sun wings can provide spacecraft with sufficient electricity, because in space, the sun's illumination is very strong, without the weakening of the atmosphere, and can be illuminated all day long. Adjust the angle, and basically, vertical 90 degrees can be achieved, and continuously provided electricity.
In addition, in space, spacecraft rely on inertia to fly most of the time, and generally do not consume energy at this time, so a pair of small sun wings is enough to provide energy for the spacecraft and operate for a long time.
Like the unmanned space probe of the solar system "Voyager 1" launched by Uncle Sam on September 5, 1977, it can still work well until now. After decades of flight, it has reached the edge of the solar system.
The reason why it can work continuously for decades is still in good health. The energy it originally carried is actually not enough to support it. The most important source of energy is to use the solar wings to obtain energy. In addition, relying on inertial flight itself does not consume energy, and regularly shutting down equipment to save energy, etc. So it has been almost half a century and it can still contact the earth.
So basically, spacecraft, in addition to the one-time opening, will have a pair of solar wings to obtain energy, especially large space stations, space cities, space farmlands, etc. Many of their shells are solar power panels, which can continuously obtain solar energy.
However, if we really build a super-large solar power farm dedicated to obtaining solar energy into electricity in space, it seems that we have never seen it, so Fuyun Group has set another historical precedent.
The huge aerospace plane slowly parked into the space port of "Sky City". The huge belly slowly opened, and the robotic arm kept taking out the cargo inside. Soon the aerospace plane's belly was transported all over.
Then the robotic arm began to load cargo for the space plane, and square standard boxes that were turned into one meter were continuously transported in. All the goods in these boxes were crops produced by Fuyun Group's space farmland, and the number was very large. Now it can not only meet the needs of the staff in the "Sky City", but can also be sold to the country and even transported directly to the lunar base.
In the Sky City, dozens of astronauts including Luo Xiaoyao, Zhan Fei were extremely busy at this time. They were controlling their robotic arms to cultivate and assemble the skeleton of the solar power farm.
The solar power farm is basically the same as the space farmland. It uses large sky capsules to form a skeleton, and then continuously subdivides it, installs solar panels, and finally forms a huge solar power farm, which can use solar energy to generate electricity, or smel asteroids by reflecting solar energy, etc.
With the help of virtual machines, dozens of astronauts cooperated very well and focused on manipulating the robotic arms. Outside the Sky City, the robotic arms were like flexible hands, and they cooperated with each other. After one by one, the already planned space capsules were constantly spliced in space.
Soon, a huge frame appeared in space, and then this frame consisting of space capsules, each of which has engines. These engines are activated, and the huge frame gently floats away from the Sky City and slowly drives into its orbit.
The framework was completed, and the astronauts replaced them again, entered the space plane, left the sky city and chased after them, and then began to expand and refine them continuously.
Compared with building space farmland, building a solar power farm is much simpler, because it only takes a breakdown, divide the difference into squares one-meter long, and then install solar panels.
Soon, a huge solar farm with a length of 100 meters wide was assembled. With the help of numerous robotic arms, the astronauts' work became much easier.
“Start adjusting the angle!”
In the skeleton composed of the space capsule, Luo Xiaoyao operated the computer to calculate the angle between the solar panels and the sun's beam at this time. Then the engine on the space capsule slowly adjusted the angle between the solar panels and the sun's illumination. Only by illuminating vertically can the maximum energy be obtained.
The engine on the space capsule rotates slowly, and each solar panel begins to change slowly, and soon the sunlight shines vertically on each solar panel.
“Start converting to electricity.”
After gently starting, the data on the computer began to soar. Each of the 10,000 solar panels can be accurately grasped. After an hour, the detailed data on solar panel power generation in space will come out.
"The total power generation reaches 12,948 degrees. In fact, the power generation of each electric board reaches about 1.3 degrees per hour. This power generation efficiency is a bit amazing."
Luo Xiaoyao looked at the data in the computer and nodded with satisfaction.
Generally speaking, if the lighting conditions of civilian solar power panels on the earth are good, a square-square solar power panel can generate about 0.5 degrees of electricity per day, but in the sun, the power generation efficiency is dozens of times that of the ground.
Moreover, in space, solar panels can always be perpendicular to sunlight, and can generate electricity 24 hours a day without being affected by climate and seasonal changes, so the power generation efficiency is even higher.
A 10,000 square solar power plant generates nearly 13,000 kWh of electricity per hour, 24 hours is 312,000 kWh, and 113.88 million kWh a year. You should know that the total power generation of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station is about 100 billion kWh. If you calculate this, the power generation of about 10 million square solar panels can be used as a Three Gorges Hydropower Station.
You should know that the total investment of a Three Gorges Hydropower Station can be counted on the books to more than 100 billion Chinese coins. If the immigration and other expenses are included, the investment amount will be even greater.
However, at this time, a 10 million square solar power farm was built in space. The cost was less than 20 billion, less than one-seventh of the Three Gorges. This was something I never dared to imagine before. The popularity of aerospace planes has made the cost between going back and forth between space and traveling to space less and lower, and the most expensive ones are these high-tech solar power panels.
As time goes by, a huge mirror in space becomes larger and larger, and soon the area exceeds 10 million square meters, which can be seen on the earth with the naked eye.
"A Three Gorges Hydropower Station can be built in space with 20 billion!"
"The power generation of 10 million square meters of solar panels in space is equivalent to that of one Three Gorges!"
"The new energy era has arrived. The country plans to completely eliminate traditional fuel vehicles and vigorously promote new energy electric vehicles."
China's official publicity channels, from TV news, newspapers, the Internet, etc., once again triggered the entire China. The detailed data refers to the data of the newly built solar power plant in space built by Fuyun Group.
When you see detailed data, whether it is China's state-owned enterprises, central enterprises, or China's private capital and power, everyone's eyes suddenly turn red.
With an investment of less than 20 billion, a Three Gorges Hydropower Station can be built in space. Anyone can know how huge the profit is. The current electricity price, even the civilian electricity price, is now around 0.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and a power generation of 100 billion kWh a year, which means nearly 50 billion output value.
Even if the output value further shrinks, 0.25 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity, it will have an output value of 25 billion yuan a year. If you invest 20 billion yuan, you can make a profit in one year, and you can even make a profit. There is no better business in the world.
You should know that when capital is very small, the return on investment is relatively high, but once capital exceeds 100 million, it is already difficult to obtain such a high return rate. What's more, it is an investment of tens of billions of yuan, and the profits in it are enough to make people crazy.
The entire Chinese capital has not yet recovered from the huge benefits of space agriculture, and the Sun Energy project here makes them want to invest the last penny in them.
I don’t know if the calculation of this power generation is correct. Is there any data emperor to give you an analysis?
