Cape Province is definitely a great project, and this is the first time that mankind has actually built a permanent city on the sea, rather than an opportunistic ship like the Deep Thoughts Zone.
The goal of Cape Province is to build a human home on the boundless sea.
The province of Cape is very controversial in China.
First of all, from an economic point of view, this is not a good option either.
Even with low-manganese steel foam and jet-shaped boats, the construction of the province is a desperately huge amount of work.
After all, there is still a lot of construction work to be done after the floating base is laid.
Buildings, roads, factories, vegetation, all of them cost a lot of money, but there is no clear return on investment.
Haijiao Province is far from the mainland of China, where did the first inhabitants come from after it was built?
What pillar industries should be developed for the rootless trees on the sea?
What policies should be adopted in a barren and self-made province of Cape and how to attract business investment?
These are all questions.
So, its real purpose is certainly not the economy!
This is the consensus of all countries in the world on the construction of Haijiao Province by China.
The specific reason is actually easy to guess, just open the latest map of Huaguo and see the location of Haijiao Province.
Right in the middle of the chicken thigh!
This is also one of the controversies within the country, and the rash establishment of a province in such a sensitive location is likely to stimulate the nerves of the Eagle Country, and the development of the situation is really difficult to control.
However, the view at the top is clear.
Today, space-based weapons maintain great deterrence in space, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If you don't take this opportunity to hold on to this place, when will you wait for the next opportunity?
Even if the Eagle Country is unhappy, it will be worth it to spit out some interests and compromise in other aspects in the future.
According to the first phase of the construction goal of Haijiao Province, the area will reach 10,000 square kilometers within 10 years, and the total population will be 10 million!
Where do these populations come from?
How to attract?
How to make a living?
There are many problems in building a province out of thin air, but none of them are what Zheng Yongwei needs to consider, the problem he is responsible for is the most basic problem of eating, and the solution is the current "Marine Ranch Plan".
With a population of 10 million, the amount of food consumed every day is astronomical.
Cape Province is far from the mainland, and if you only rely on land transportation support, you will not even know your grandmother.
Therefore, Cape Province must produce food locally.
Planting is certainly not the way to go.
The country spent so much money to build a province on the sea, but it was not for the sake of laying soil and cultivating the land, the cost was too high.
On the oceans, developing fisheries is the smart choice.
Zheng Yong's goal for this trip is to build a large-scale artificial fishing ground in the barren deep sea.
The Deep Thinking Group has brought together marine biologists from all over the world, and no one is better at solving this problem than them Zheng Yongwei walked into a simple warehouse-like room, which was a temporary research base for the marine experts of the Shensi Group.
Haijiao Province is in ruins, so everything can only be simplified.
"Chief Engineer Liu, have the results of the seawater inspection come out?"
Zheng Yongwei asked.
A middle-aged female engineer in old-fashioned clothes raised her head, she was the chief engineer of the "Sea Ranch": "As we imagined, it was very poor, with a concentration of about 0.13 milligrams per cubic meter of green a."
After special study, Zheng Yongwei deeply understood the meaning of this number.
You must know that life not only needs water, sunlight and temperature, but also many nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, calcium, sulfur, etc.
There is no shortage of water in the ocean, but these basic elements are generally lacking, especially phosphorus and iron, which are most widely needed by living organisms.
Generally speaking, the deep sea is not full of life due to the lack of sunlight and temperature, and the surface sea water is the place suitable for the development of life.
As long as nutrients are abundant, planktonic life on the surface of the sea will multiply quickly, then deplete the water of a key nutrient and eventually die en masse.
When planktonic life in surface waters dies, fish, shrimp and other life quickly disappear due to lack of food.
The excrement of marine organisms and the dead carcasses sink to the bottom of the sea, taking away a lot of nutrients, resulting in a greater nutrient deficit in the surface water and a faster death of plankton.
Contrary to what most people think, although the sea water is fluid, the upper and lower layers of water do not flow and exchange.

Once nutrients are lost on the surface of the ocean, it is difficult to make up for them.
Rainwater is basically pure distilled water, and it cannot replenish nutrients to seawater.
So, generally speaking, there are only two types of places where the fishery is developed.
One is a shallow sea or river estuary close to land, where there are a lot of nutrients from land.
The other is where the currents pass through, and the upwelling area of the currents can turn up nutrients from the bottom of the ocean or deep layers, and the fish is much richer.
These are not speculations, but verified.
In 2008, a volcanic eruption in Alaska's Aleutian Islands left a large amount of ash in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, and two years later, the population of migratory sockeye salmon in a river in the Gulf of Alaska had increased 20-fold.
Some foreign scientific research institutions have done experiments on supplementing iron to the ocean, and have also achieved very good results.
Director Liu introduced: "The plan is simple: use a super-powered pump to pump turbid seawater from the seabed, and then transport it to the surface of the sea to spray it out, artificially causing nutrient exchange.
The pump is the kind of pump on the drawings, and the self-floating pump designed by Mr.
Jiang himself. ” Chief Engineer Liu showed the virtual workbench, Zheng Yongwei looked at the drawings and asked: "Is there a specific data estimate?"
Chief Engineer Liu took out a form, and his serious face faintly showed excitement: "It's done.
The energy consumed by the self-floating pump to pump seawater to the surface is extremely low, and it does not simply lift seawater from the seabed to a height of 2,000 meters, but makes full use of the buoyancy of the seawater itself.
According to calculations, a 50-kilowatt pump can pump about 50,000 cubic meters of seabed muddy water every day and night, and spray it onto the sea surface to cover about 10 square kilometers. ” "In terms of effect, as long as the nutrients are sufficient, each square kilometer can reach 500 tons of sustainable fish, the next five years plan to develop 10,000 square kilometers of marine ranching, after the completion of the annual catch of 5 million tons of fish, about equivalent to 1/10 of China's annual aquaculture volume, this is an extremely alarming number."
"In terms of cost, the electricity is provided by photoelectric algae, which is basically no investment for our group.
A pumping station is about 20 million RMB, we need about 1,000 pumps, with a total investment of about 20 billion RMB, and after the fishery matures, it will produce 5 million tons of fish every year, and the value will reach more than 100 billion RMB.
In addition, the marine ranching project can also drive a range of fishery production industries, such as fishing, processing, farming, etc., which alone can provide employment for more than 100,000 people. ” It's still making money?
Zheng Yongwei was very surprised, he finally understood Chief Engineer Liu's excitement.
That's a lot of income!
No wonder Mr.
Jiang sent himself over, and he was still in a hurry to cooperate with the state.
It is simply estimated that the annual income of 100 billion RMB can generate about 30 billion yuan of profits, and Shensi Group can get about 10 billion RMB, about 1.4 billion US dollars, without getting the lion's share.
For the volume of Shensi Group, although 1.4 billion US dollars is not much, it is only a year's income, and after the pump platform is built, the maintenance cost in the later stage is not large, and it is making a net profit every year.
Besides, the property rights of the pump belong to the state, does it cost money to maintain it later?
It must be wanted, and it must be maintained by Shensi Group, which has made another profit.
And this is only 10,000 square kilometers, and the sea under your feet is 3.5 million square kilometers!
The future is bright!
Zheng Yongwei was suddenly full of motivation.
While the rest of the group's industries are making money, Shensi Ocean has been spending money, even if this is a requirement of the group's strategy, and he, the CEO, has no face.
As soon as you meet at the annual meeting of others: "Mr.
Li, I heard that Shensi helped earn $10 billion this year?"
To him?
"Hey, Mr.
Zheng, I heard that Shensi Ocean spent another $30 billion?"
Recalling the unbearable past, Zheng Yongwei felt a little tearful.
It's not easy, after so many years, I finally saw the money back!
