Silicon Valley

Chapter 677: Catching Lightning

As Henry expected, Niu Hongfei, President of IMDB Group China, failed to acquire Wanda Group. Wang Jianlin is ambitious and has no idea of ​​selling Wanda Group at all. However, Henry doesn't care about such trivial matters. With the IMDB group, just a Wanda Group, can it go to heaven?

The top priority right now is the desert transformation plan. Henry spent a trillion dollars to buy such a large desert. He must develop it well, or the money will be wasted!

The transformation of the desert is unprecedented in scale, and 62 large-scale underground seawater pipelines have been established, passing through 44 countries. At the same time, 128 railways, including 14 main railway lines, were built to connect the whole of Africa. In addition, cooperate with countries to build roads, build solar wireless charging stations along the way, lay communication base stations, power grids, water pipes, etc., and solve the employment problem of more than five million workers in Africa in one fell swoop.

Everything has been planned and completed, just wait for Henry to come back to make a final decision! ! !

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon on September 1st, Henry returned to the Williams Empire in his own special plane.

Three days later, all the countries of the "Weiyuan" system came to the Williams Empire and held a summit meeting of African countries. Under Henry's announcement, the desert transformation plan was officially launched!

Such a big move in Africa can't help but shock the whole world!

"Reuters", "Bloomberg", "Fortune", "Financial Times" and other media have praised the desert creation plan, and said that with the desert transformation plan, the African economy will take off with the wind and the economy will take off rapidly! ! !

Netizens lamented: "Africa is going to be awesome!!!"

In view of the rapid economic development in Africa, countless companies have entered Africa one after another. All powerful companies have established branches in the Williams Empire, especially the capital city of Diego, with a population of more than 23.5 million, second only to Asia's largest Big city, the second largest city in the world - Tokyo, Japan, with a population of 36.4 million, ranks second in the world. With the current financial crisis, the real estate market has plummeted, but in Diego City, the opposite is true. Land is at a premium here, and housing prices are soaring day by day. The average price of houses at the foot of Williams Palace Hill is 500,000 Weiyuan per square meter, making it the most expensive place in the world.

At present, Diego is still rapidly expanding the city, and is building the Diego Underground City, intending to surpass the "Montreal Underground City" and build the world's largest underground city.

The Montreal Underground City is located underground in the Well-Marie district of Montreal, the second largest city in Canada. It is 17 kilometers long and has a total area of ​​4 million square meters. The pedestrian street is 30 kilometers long and connects 10 subway stations, 2,000 shops and 200 stores Hotels, 40 banks, 34 movie theaters, 2 universities, 2 railway stations and a long-distance station. Montreal can be rated as one of the three most livable cities in the world today because it has the world's largest underground city.

The scale of the Digo underground city will be 100 times larger than that of the Montreal underground city, and it is planned to build it successfully within 10 years.

One Diego on the ground, one Diego on the ground, this is amazing!

In addition, the Diego World Island project will probably be completed in the next two years, and by then, millions of people will live there. In addition, Henry sent people to build an underwater hotel, and has accumulated a lot of underwater construction technology. In the near future, the underwater city of Digo will rise from the ground!

After all, in the future, will there be a super city with a population exceeding 100 million? ! !

...

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, the number of companies registered in the Williams Empire has increased by nearly 60,000, and the number of new people has increased by 2.415 million. Although it has promoted the development of Digo City, it has also brought a lot of pressure. I'm very nervous about the phone!" In Henry's office, Violet reported.

"Well, hydroelectric power generation and solar power generation alone cannot supply such a huge demand for electricity!" Henry nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The technology of the third-generation nuclear power plant is quite mature, and we can order the super energy company to choose A suitable place to build three large nuclear power plants!"

"Ok!"

"Oh, by the way, Violet, ask Tesla to increase its efforts to develop long-distance wireless power transmission technology. I hope that one day, this technology can be used to transmit power to any corner of the world!!!"

"Your Majesty, isn't your idea too crazy?"

"You think it won't happen?" Henry asked with a smile.

Violet shook her head, "It's just hard to imagine!"

"Yes, it is indeed difficult to imagine, but Nikola Tesla had the courage to take action for it. Although it is a pity that it failed, it is still a great idea. His failure is not meaningless, at least for We have provided a research direction. Now, our technology is more advanced and we have stronger financial resources, which is enough to support our research! I believe that we will succeed!" Henry said confidently.

Speaking of Nikola Tesla, Henry suddenly thought that this awesome scientist once proposed to capture lightning as an energy source.

In fact, the energy of a lightning bolt is not much. It can only light up a 100-watt light bulb for 3 months, but there are more than 100 lightning phenomena every second in the world, and the total electric energy released by lightning in a year is about 17.5 Thousands of degrees. If the electricity fee for one kilowatt-hour of electricity is 0.30 Weiyuan, the annual value of lightning in the world is 5.25 trillion Weiyuan, which is undoubtedly a huge fortune.

Seeing Henry meditating, Violet knew that he must be thinking about something, so she stood by and watched him quietly.

After a while, Henry said to Violet with a little excitement: "Villette, you can notify Tesla later and ask them to set up a department dedicated to research on how to capture lightning as energy!!!"

Violet was taken aback. "Your Majesty, do you mean catching lightning?"

"Yes, it is to catch lightning!"

"But Your Majesty, as far as I know, the withstand voltage of supercapacitors is still less than 100,000, and the voltage of lightning can range from a few million volts to over a billion volts. How can this store the energy of lightning?"

Henry nodded and said with a smile: "So, I decided to let Tesla work hard to develop a supercapacitor that can withstand lightning as soon as possible! And such a supercapacitor can also be applied to many aspects, such as military, aerospace, transportation , electronics, etc. play a huge role! We don’t want immediate results, but we can accumulate technology in this area first!”

Violet nodded, "Well, yes, Your Majesty, you are right, then I will notify Tesla now...?"

"Well, let's go!"
