Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 392 Hydroelectric power station?
At first, everyone was brainstorming, and you and the two of them started making suggestions.

"Why don't we work harder on our own and catch it once in a while? I don't believe these fish can make a difference? We can also improve the food by then."

The veteran who made this suggestion looked proud and ambitious, but Wang Lu shook his head.

The method is feasible, but it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. It means that large-scale fishing of the Dome River must be carried out every once in a while. This is not a small project. This is the most thankless method. It is the last choice when there is really no other choice.

"If you ask me, just set up a blockade. The fishery resources in our pasture are almost saturated anyway."

This is a bit one-size-fits-all, and the effect is unknown, and subsequent maintenance is also a hassle.

"The abundant water and wide channel of the Dome River in our pasture can be fully utilized to build a small hydroelectric power station! The village party secretary in my hometown made a fortune from this thing, so you can make money. !”

I don't know who muttered, but Wang Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Building a small hydroelectric plant on the River Dome?

Hey, don’t tell me, you are really a fucking genius!

The power supply of the pasture has never been stable enough, and there have been no problems with the supply of biogas digesters. However, with the development of the pasture, there should not be a big problem if the newly built large biogas digesters supply beef cattle farms, but there is no other spare capacity. .

The next [-] acres of sisal will need to be harvested in two years and will need to be processed. Various mechanical equipment will require electricity. Wang Lu also plans to install protective fences in some key areas of the ranch in the future. High-voltage power grid, so the safety will be greatly improved.

In fact, in the chaotic Africa, basically any wealthy person who owns a house will choose to install a power grid on the walls around the house to prevent thieves from worrying about it.

It's just that the area protected by Wang Lu's power grid is a bit large.

In short, it is foreseeable that the demand for electricity as an energy source in pastures will increase day by day in the future.

As for the local power grid system, not to mention, there is probably not much hope.

But if you have a hydroelectric power station, the situation is completely different!
Only a small hydroelectric power station is enough to supply the entire ranch's power needs, without relying on the local power grid at all.

The Dome River happens to meet the requirements for building a hydroelectric power station, or so it seems.

"Hey man, you're a genius! God listen, that's such a smart idea."

When Parker heard the suggestion of building a hydroelectric power station, he jumped up and covered his head with his hands, looking at the veteran in disbelief.

"This suggestion is so perfect. I simply can't think of a better suggestion. Boss, you must consider this suggestion carefully."

Parker was a little incoherent, but Wang Lu believed his words deeply.

Building a small hydroelectric power station on the Dome River will not only utilize the water power of the Dome River to provide a steady stream of clean energy for the pasture, but also physically block vicious predators such as Nile perch and African tiger fish. A steady stream of visitors enter the pasture.This is a more perfect approach than building a block.

Even if there is systematic blessing, these predators in the water system outside will not be able to walk across the land even if they covet the Dome River as a perfect habitat.

Even the schistosomiasis host, the snail, was successfully isolated from the outside. The problem that had been bothering Wang Lu was solved.

Especially small-scale hydropower technology, it is no longer a sophisticated technology. This thing was ruined in the last century.

Some European and American countries first built hydroelectric power stations in the [-]th century. In China, in the last century, many small hydropower stations were built across the country, many of which were private.

However, these power stations built on large and small water systems later failed to keep up with the development of the times. In addition, they were a big problem for the water ecological environment. Later, they were gradually replaced by large-scale public water conservancy projects. Some Private hydropower stations were also banned.

But for Wang Lu, these are not problems at all.

The ranch is my own private territory. It is no problem for me to build a hydropower station. Moreover, I am not one of those greedy guys who endlessly build hydropower stations to make profits. With the vast territory of the ranch and the abundant water of the Dome River, I can build a hydropower station. Small hydroelectric power stations are also fully within the acceptable range.

Although the cost of building a hydroelectric power station was higher than that of building a dam or fishing regularly, the returns it could bring were also higher. Wang Lu chose this method without hesitation.

Wang Lu soon made a decision.

“No matter what, this hydropower station should be built!”

However, although the technology of small hydropower stations has long been mature and is not a problem at all, it is still relatively difficult for people in the professional field. Naturally, it is impossible for a college student like Wang Lu, who has just graduated a few years ago, to figure it out. .

Huang Zheng's engineering team also had no experience in this area and no qualifications to build hydropower stations.

Not to mention the local gangsters, let alone hydropower, it would be difficult for them to build a windmill.

But fortunately, there is still a local force that is far ahead in the world in terms of infrastructure construction. It can easily handle various large-scale infrastructure construction and various types of work and technology. In the eyes of others, the problem Wang Lu is worried about is a piece of cake.

The state-owned construction companies in China that assist local construction companies have become Wang Lu's first choice.

These construction aid companies are responsible for a large number of local infrastructure construction, and there is no shortage of manpower, equipment, experience, and technology. Some local water conservancy projects are also responsible for these domestic construction aid companies.

So the hydropower station Wang Lu wants to build is really not a big deal. They have specialized water conservancy engineers and electric power engineers, which are not comparable to ordinary grass-roots teams.

After making the decision, Wang Lu first found several state-owned enterprises that were assisting in construction locally through the Agricultural Reclamation Group and expressed his intention.

Of course, the projects undertaken by these construction assistance companies must undergo strict review, and they are basically negotiated through high-level communication. Small projects like Wang Lu's initiative to come to your door, strictly speaking, are completely Unruly.
