Riding the wind of rebirth

"Compared to my grandmaster and my uncle, I am still far behind, not to mention my great-grandmaster." Zhou Zhi shook his head and said, "Ah, they are back, uncle, these two are the Engineer Lu and Chief Engineer Hao I just told you about."

"Hello, Chief!" The Blue Sky Sunshine where Lu Hui and Hao Chunwang worked was originally a military-industrial unit. Hao Chunwang himself had been a soldier with more than ten years of military service. He was shocked when he saw the epaulettes on Qin Haifeng's shoulders. There were not many people of this level in Shu. When Blue Sky Sunshine was still a military unit, the highest leader was one level lower than the navy man in front of him.

So I instinctively stood at attention.

"Everyone, please take your seats." Old Chi Ri greeted everyone: "The good thing about Xiao Hao and Engineer Lu is that they always do everything on time."

"Your Blue Sky Sunshine Group is great." After everyone sat down, Qin Haifeng said to the two, "After the transformation, not only did you complete the modern enterprise restructuring and win the market competition, you were also able to export and earn foreign exchange. You are a benchmark enterprise for our military-to-civilian transformation!"

After that, he said to Lao Chi Ri, "Old man, I apologize for this wine. I will accompany you tonight. Let's save it for lunch. I have to stay sober. I will visit your power station in the afternoon and discuss some technical issues with Elbow and Xiaomiao. I can't get drunk."

"That's right." Lu Hui and Hao Chunwang nodded repeatedly. Old Chi Ri was good in every way, except that he could find any excuse to get people drunk, which was not good.

"Dad, the leader must have come from afar for something important. Let's listen to him." Tuliang Zhi also said.

"Okay, let's do it tonight." Old Chi Ri put away the wine and said, "Let's eat and chat while we eat!"

The dishes are quite good, especially the braised chicken with fried pork and wild mushrooms.

After being away from home for many years, Qin Haifeng is no longer used to the salty cuisine of Sichuan, especially Jiachuan, which is quite spicy.

The fatty meat here is like bacon but soft and glutinous. Another dish, braised chicken with wild mushrooms, is somewhat similar to the northern chicken stewed with mushrooms, but the mushrooms are obviously much better. The remaining dishes are all from the kids' lunch menu. Student meals are naturally not too spicy, which makes Qin Haifeng, who had an upset stomach due to the hometown food this time, eat very comfortably.

"Thank you for the compliment, Commander." Hao Chunwang said, "Then I will report to you the situation before and after the transformation of our group army into a civilian unit, and the development since we got on the right track in recent years."

From the earliest large-scale military-industrial enterprises that integrated design and production, to moving into the mountains during the Third Front Construction, and then to becoming privately owned after the reform and opening up, these kinds of experiences and pains have occurred in many military units over the years.

What makes Blue Sky Sunshine Group superior to other units is that they did not give up technology during the transformation. Unlike many factories that manufactured guns and artillery shells and transformed into companies that manufactured thermos bottles and insulated cups, although Blue Sky Sunshine no longer has the opportunity to continue manufacturing radars, it has combined its own advantages and grasped the development of science and technology when choosing transformation projects.

After abandoning its previous main business, it picked up its side business and turned the uninterruptible power supply equipment that ensures power supply to radars into a UPS system with a high degree of localization. Thanks to the vigorous procurement and recommendations of the Clover Group, it gained a reputation and took advantage of the crazy investment in information technology equipment, becoming a pig in the wind.

Later, it switched from electricity storage to power generation, still relying on its own advantages to develop wind and solar power generation equipment. At least for now, the energy conversion efficiency of solar panels is close to the level of Europe and the United States and has not been left too far behind, which also makes its products competitive in the international market.

Especially recently, with the help of the Clover Group, the group has successfully completed the real "modernization" from management systems to production regulations, introduced ISO international standards, and registered its own green energy integrated power generation system in major markets such as Europe and the United States. This time, even the thinking is ahead of foreigners.

This won Qin Haifeng's praise. However, when Qin Haifeng asked about some low-power products of Blue Sky Sunshine Group, Hao Chunwang introduced the application scenarios, which were either plateaus or grasslands. The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, so the utilization rate of solar panels is high; the wind on the grassland is strong, so the wind energy system can be used greatly. Hao Chunwang's introductions were actually not bad.

However, Zhou Zhi still coughed lightly and interrupted: "Uncle Qin meant to ask if you have any projects suitable for islands or coastal applications."

Then he winked at Lu Hui.

Lu Hui immediately understood: "Then the wind power system designed by our group for the Netherlands should be very suitable."

"The Netherlands is known as the country of windmills. It is located in the westerly belt of the earth, and westerly winds blow all year round. At the same time, it is close to the Atlantic Ocean and is a typical maritime climate country. Sea and land breezes are constant all year round. This provides the Netherlands, which lacks water and power resources, with generous compensation for the use of wind power."

"As early as the 16th century, windmills had already occupied an important position in the Dutch economy. At that time, windmills could grind grain and coarse salt, roll woolen cloth, make paper, and drain water from swamps by constantly sucking and discharging water."

"After the steam engine and internal combustion engine were invented, the function of the windmill was forgotten for a time."

"But now there is a new trend. As global pollution becomes more and more serious, Western developed countries are beginning to pay more and more attention to the use of 'renewable energy' and gradually reduce the proportion of coal-fired power, gas-fired power and oil-fired power."

"Renewable energy includes solar energy, hydropower, wind energy, biomass energy, wave energy, tidal energy, ocean temperature difference energy, geothermal energy and many other types. Unlike mineral energy, it can be automatically regenerated without human intervention and is an inexhaustible energy source."

“Among these renewable energy sources, wind energy and hydropower are undoubtedly the ones that have been used the longest.”

"The Dutch are very strange. Although they are international leaders in the offshore oil and gas industry, they are the country in Europe that attaches the most importance to wind power," said Hao Chunwang. "And the other way around, it is their rich experience in offshore platforms that supports their offshore wind power projects."

"What does this mean?" Zhou Zhi said he didn't understand.

Qin Haifeng said: "I think it is like this. Although the production efficiency of offshore wind farms is very high, the physical conditions, including material transportation, assembly and maintenance, make the operating costs of offshore wind power higher than onshore wind power. Considering the transmission distance, the cost of the power grid will be much higher than that of onshore wind power."

"Electricity needs to be transferred. The electricity generated by wind farms needs to be transmitted to offshore transformer stations via submarine cables, and then to the power grid transmission system on land. This requires complex and expensive transmission supporting facilities."

"The Netherlands has decades of experience in maritime operations and is very experienced in the construction and operation of offshore platforms. Therefore, compared with other countries, the Netherlands is the country most likely to build large-scale offshore wind power systems."

"That makes sense..." Zhou Zhi suddenly realized. (End of this chapter)
