Chapter 2733 The developing and changing Northwest Research Base
After several years of operation, the current Northwest Research Center, or the Northwest Research Base as many people call it, has taken shape. In the hinterland of the endless desert Gobi, an oasis with a radius of dozens of kilometers has been formed.
The oasis is full of life, with various trees, flowers and plants everywhere, as well as various animals and birds that shuttle through the forest and swim in the water.
In this oasis, there are various large and small building facilities and basic service facilities. As well as airports, there are also solar photovoltaic power stations, solar thermal molten salt power stations surrounded by the oasis, and all over the oasis.
Among the various wind energy power stations.
These facilities are connected by asphalt roads. These asphalt roads are horizontal and vertical, turning the entire Northwest Research Center into several grids.
An intelligent transportation system has been set up at each intersection to direct the operation of the entire park. In fact, Wu Hao and his colleagues experimented here on the intelligent transportation system in the smart city system, including the prototype of the smart city.
Each intersection includes an intelligent traffic light system that can be independently adjusted according to the amount of traffic, identifying pedestrians and vehicles on the road, a safety monitoring system, and laser projection zebra crossing facilities at each intersection.
These zebra crossings are all projected using lasers. When the zebra crossings are formed, a red barrier will also be formed at the intersection to remind drivers that these roads are temporarily impassable.
This system can even regulate the projection changes of each lane to manage each lane in more detail. For example, the signs on these lanes can change according to the traffic flow, thereby controlling the traffic flow of each road connected to the intersection.
The advantage of this is that it can avoid excessive traffic on a single road, which may lead to congestion.
Of course, at the Northwest Research Center, there is no need for these things. We are just conducting experiments here.
At present, the entire Northwest Research Center has approximately 30,000 employees. Most of these employees are scientific researchers, and in addition there are other administrative and service personnel.
Nearly 30,000 people, which is almost the population size of a small town, and almost the number of people in a university, so in order to manage these people well, Wu Hao and the others have also developed an intelligent management system for this type of research and development. This system
The management system is different from the intelligent management system at the Linghu headquarters. It is more in line with the actual situation here.
With this intelligent management system, all personnel entering the base can be managed in a very detailed manner, such as attendance management of all personnel, peer authority management of all personnel, basic information services of all personnel, etc.
In addition to this intelligent management system, in order to ensure that the nearly 30,000 people eat, drink, sleep, and sleep, the base has a very complete life support system. For example, there are several large restaurants distributed in the base to meet the employees' daily meal needs.
, there is also a specialized supermarket. In addition to daily necessities, this supermarket also has a variety of vegetables and foods. Employees can purchase them according to their own needs.
The entire supermarket is quite large, with a full range of daily necessities. In addition to the supermarket, there are also shopping malls selling clothes, shoes, and various other items.
Even in order to relax the employees' mood, there are also special cafes, dessert shops, special entertainment game halls, KTV, cinemas, etc.
All facilities are available.
As for drinking, the water source of the base is imported from more than 100 places outside. At present, a lake covering more than ten square kilometers and a large area of wetland have been formed in the base.
The water source used by personnel is filtered and purified from here, and it can basically meet the standard of direct drinking water. In order to ensure the safety of drinking water, there will be a system for real-time monitoring. Once a certain substance in the drinking water exceeds the standard, it will
Alarm immediately and automatically cut off all water supplies unless the problem is corrected.
And in order to deal with possible problems, the base has also made very complete response plans, such as activating backup plans and organizing fleets to collect water from hundreds of kilometers away, which can temporarily guarantee the water needs of personnel and equipment facilities in the base.
Of course, this is just a backup plan. With such a large artificial lake and under strict monitoring, it is unlikely that pollution problems will occur.
As for the issue of excrement, in order to protect it completely and avoid pollution, all sewage in the base is subdivided into domestic sewage and production sewage.
The first is domestic sewage, which is basically gray water and black water used in daily life. When it was originally designed, the pipelines of the two systems were separated to facilitate treatment and meet environmental protection requirements.
First of all, these domestic gray water are basically water sources used in daily life, such as sewage from washing vegetables and washing hands. These domestic gray water will be collected together and purified to filter out heavy metals, grease and other pollution.
The materials will then be discharged into the field to serve as a water source for the field and nourish the growth of plants in the wetland.
As for the black water used in daily life, these are human excrement. These will also be transported by pipeline to a treatment plant several kilometers away, where they will be harmlessly treated and turned into various organic fertilizers to improve the soil in the desert.
use.
Although this is a bit time-consuming and labor-intensive, it can indeed effectively control these excrement pollution problems and protect the environment. It can also turn waste into treasure and help improve desert soil and plant trees to control desertification.
As for the sewage used in production, because the pollutants are relatively serious, more stringent treatment measures are needed to ensure that the sewage is well treated.
For example, there is sufficient sunshine in the desert and the amount of evaporation is relatively large. Therefore, the sewage will be collected into some huge evaporation ponds, allowing sunlight to evaporate the sewage. In this way, the clean water vapor in it will be evaporated away.
Only the contaminants inside are left behind.
These pollutants include various oleochemical raw materials, heavy metals, etc., which will be re-refined and used or treated harmlessly.
This sewage treatment system has also been inspected by local, provincial, and national departments and given high praise. It has also been listed as a national desert pollution control demonstration project and has become a target for inspection by many enterprises and local governments.
focus.
As for the last one, it is actually a question of accommodation. In addition to high-standard apartments for employees, the entire base also has some small apartments to meet the living needs of some employees.
To put it bluntly, after several years of development, this place has slowly become a community, and this will also be the prototype of a city.
