Out of curiosity, reporter John Peter walked out of the Zhancheng airport.
He then found a taxi driver as a guide, and his first stop was the coastline of Daxia.
Speaking of which, a year ago, Xingtu Technology seemed to have invested in the world's largest wind power project.
Now that a year has passed, I wonder how the construction of the world's largest wind power project is going.
With such curiosity in mind, John Peter took a taxi and then started talking to the taxi driver.
This conversation directly surprised John Peter.
"Are you sure Xingtu Technology has completed the construction of 10 super-large wind turbines in this year?"
Facing the surprise of reporter John Peter, the driver, who was about thirty years old, smiled and said:
“To be precise, it is the result of three companies: Xingtu Technology, Daxia Power Investment, and Jinfeng Technology.
After all, Xingtu Technology does not have its own construction team or its own large-scale wind turbine manufacturing plant.
So Xingtu Technology mainly provides financing, Daxia Power Investment is responsible for project planning and construction, and Jinfeng Technology is responsible for manufacturing super-large wind turbines. "
"But even so, it took just over a year to build 10 super-large wind turbines. This is really too much."
John Peter opened his mouth wide, feeling a little unbelievable.
Because this mobility is too exaggerated, because there are 10 fans and the length of a single blade reaches 128 meters.
The total diameter of the three blades combined reaches an ultra-large wind turbine of 260 meters.
These super-large wind turbines are so large that they are not easy to manufacture or install.
Among them, the foundation construction problem of 10 super-large wind turbines alone is difficult to solve in Europe or the United States.
It will take at least two years to complete the construction of the foundation, let alone the manufacturing and installation of 10 super-large wind turbines.
But the reality is that there are so many super-large wind turbines, and 10 of them were built in just one year. Isn’t this speed too fast and too exaggerated?
“This is normal. After all, we in Daxia are crazy about infrastructure, not to mention 10 super-large wind turbines.
As long as you have enough money to invest and are willing to use the human wave strategy, you can get 100 million units."
The driver said this as a matter of course, with a lot of pride on his face.
His proud look also surprised John Peter, and then he remembered the rumor that Daxia was an infrastructure maniac.
However, with a sense of responsibility as a reporter, John Peter, who was not very credible, decided to go and see for himself whether it was true.
It didn't take long for John Peter to see a shocking scene.
In this picture, there is a super-large wind turbine standing in the distance every 350 meters or so.
These super-large wind turbines spread from the beaches, barren mountains and wastelands along the coastline all the way to the sea.
It is as neat as an army, and it brings a strong shock to people like a neat army!
"It's spectacular, isn't it? These 10 wind turbines are a magnificent sight in Zhancheng and even in the whole country.
Unfortunately, the only drawback is that they are too noisy. Staying near those wind turbines for a long time is a disaster for your ears.
Therefore, this scenic spot is difficult to develop and is only suitable for viewing from a distance, not for close viewing.”
"Like this?"
John Peter nodded thoughtfully. In fact, at this time he could hear the whistling sound of the large blades of the wind turbine cutting through the air in the distance.
So John Peter nodded slightly in agreement with the driver's words.
Knowing that those wind turbines make such a shrill whistling sound, although this attraction is spectacular, it is indeed difficult to become a popular attraction on a large scale. "How much power can these more than 10 wind turbines generate?"
John Peter asked the driver who seemed to know everything.
“According to the news I saw, this wind turbine project has a total of five phases, and the first phase of the construction of 5 wind turbines will have an astonishing power generation capacity of 10GW!
The annual power generation capacity of Daxia is 5920GW, which means that the wind power generation here accounts for 43% of Daxia’s total power generation capacity.”
John Peter was shocked to hear the driver's words.
"How can this be?"
Listening to the foreign reporter's surprised words and looking at his shocked expression, the driver smiled and said:
“Nothing is impossible, as long as you have determination and money, nothing is impossible.”
After hearing what the driver said, John Peter was speechless.
Because the facts were right in front of him. Daxia had indeed built the densely packed wind turbines in front of it in just over a year.
Even if the actual power generation capacity does not reach 2500GW, it should not be an exaggeration to reach 1000GW at a % discount.
But even 1000GW is exaggerated. After all, the entire Daxia's power generation in 2016 was only 5920GW.
Thinking about these figures, John Peter was extremely shocked. At this moment, he truly felt the power of the socialist country.
After all, in capitalist countries, it is almost impossible to increase power generation by 43% in one year.
Because you build so many wind turbines at once, what if the investment loses money?
Out of curiosity, John Peter asked the driver whether he could use up so much electricity.
"Of course it can afford it, because artificial intelligence is a super monster that devours electricity. No matter how much electricity there is, it is not enough for it to consume."
At this point, the driver shook his head helplessly and said:
"Since Xingtu Semiconductor was able to mass-produce 10-nanometer chips, Xingtu Technology has been frantically building computing centers and data storage centers to meet the growing demand for computing power and data storage.
Therefore, our Zhancheng has actually become a major electricity consumer in the entire Nanfang power grid.
If it were not for the support of the wind turbines that are gradually being built, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Xingtu Technology's artificial intelligence would need to consume the electricity of several provinces.
This shows how much electricity artificial intelligence requires, let alone 10 super-large wind turbines.
Even if all 5 super-large wind turbines in the Phase 50 wind power project are completed.
I think it can be consumed completely, it's just that artificial intelligence consumes too much electricity."
John Peter was stunned when he heard the driver's words.
Then he calculated in his mind the remaining 40 super-large wind turbines. If they were completed and generating electricity, they would be able to generate as much electricity as last summer.
The final calculated power generation figure is a dizzying and shocking number.
Through this number, John Peter understood the power of the artificial intelligence Jarvis.
Regardless of whether the artificial intelligence Jarvis is smart or not, the amount of electricity it consumes alone is an astonishing number.
It would be unfair if this artificial intelligence Jarvis was not powerful enough after consuming so much energy.
After all, how much electricity does the entire country generate in a year? Your artificial intelligence alone consumes half of the country's electricity needs, and in the future it may reach several times or even dozens of times the amount.
With such a high power consumption, it seems natural that Xingtu Technology's artificial intelligence is so powerful. (End of this chapter)
