China's biggest oolong incident: the plan was to build a power plant in the desert, but instead directly acquired a pasture

When it comes to the biggest oolong incident in China's infrastructure history, the Qinghai Tara Tan Gobi project must be on the list. After all, in this desert, there are more than 12 hours of sunshine a day, which has the advantage of pure nature. So scientists plan to build a large photovoltaic power plant here.

With the increasing global environmental protection, the utilization scale and technology of new clean energy are constantly improving. Among them, more and more countries regard photovoltaic power generation as a key new industry, and include photovoltaic power into a wider range of applications, hoping to obtain new energy supplements in this way.

But it is such a large-scale photovoltaic power generation project, and in the end, it has harvested a natural pasture. What's going on here?

Building photovoltaic power generation in the desert

China occupies 9.6 million square kilometers of the world, and many people will think that China is a large country and rich in resources, which is indeed a huge advantage. However, for China's vast land and abundant resources, there are also drawbacks.

Although China has a lot of land, many of it are very different in terms of living environment due to the size of the land area. The most obvious difference is between the north and the south of China, where life is like spring all year round. However, the winter in the north is very cold, especially in the northeast.

On the other hand, most of China's northwest is very barren. There are no animals and plants living all year round, but this is also the territory of China, since it cannot be used for cultivation, it is good to use it for other purposes.

However, desertification has intensified, and the ecological environment of the Tara Beach area has deteriorated day by day, and the most sinners are the residents living nearby. Living in the desert, facing the harsh environment, people find it difficult to maintain a normal life, and many people have left the desert to live in other cities.

Therefore, scientists want to build a photovoltaic power plant in the desert, which is a big project, after all, it is not easy to prepare for it. The first of these challenges is the challenge of sand and sunlight, which will largely block the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation.

But after the idea of photovoltaic power generation was first proposed, it immediately attracted global attention, after all, it is a big project. Of course, there are also controversial voices, after all, many people are skeptical about whether photovoltaic construction can be achieved in such a harsh environment.

But China is a country that has grown up under pressure and doubt, and it has to actively participate even in the face of difficulties. The first problem to be solved is the windblown sand, and in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to consider the problem of vegetation cover. For this reason, in 2012, a large number of people were used to sow grass seeds, just to increase the moisture content of the ground.

However, after sowing grass seeds, a new problem arises, that is, the local environment is not suitable for the growth of plants, after all, it has been in the wind and sand for a long time, resulting in serious desertification of the land, and even if the plants are planted, there are no nutrients at all. Coupled with the low rainfall, grass seeds simply cannot survive.

I had no choice but to build solar panels first, but I didn't expect it to directly change the local environment. Because these solar panels are large and wide, they resist the sunlight of the land. The loss of sun exposure has relieved the local soil.

In order to get the most out of the solar panels, the cleaner the surface, the better, which requires a lot of manpower to clean it, and the water after cleaning can also be used to irrigate the land.

Wasteland becomes natural pasture

Although it solves the problem of photovoltaic power generation, it also allows plants to grow. But a new problem soon arose: the grass seeds planted were starting to grow wildly and were about to cover the solar panels. If left unchecked, the absorption rate of solar panels will drop dramatically, and photovoltaic power generation will not have its original role.

And leave it alone, in the winter, these meadows will become barren grass. Coupled with the fact that the local environment is very inhospitable, the probability of fires will also increase significantly. In order to solve this problem, it is also a headache for scientists, after all, the random removal of such lush grassland will also cause the loss of manpower and material resources.

It was at this time that biologists saw fertile meadows and wanted to let the cattle and sheep raised by local herders come and graze. It can not only effectively remove the grass, but also do not affect the original role of photovoltaics.

This approach quickly saw results and accelerated the development of local animal husbandry, which can be described as a double benefit. While solving the problem of power generation, it also turned the wasteland into a natural pasture.

What was once an inaccessible desert has now been transformed into an idyllic oasis that provides a better living environment for the local people and reduces pollution of the Yellow River.

Grass seeds are growing like crazy, and cattle and sheep have natural food. As the area of desertification is getting smaller and smaller, the construction of photovoltaic power generation equipment in Tara Beach is also carried out in an orderly manner, and Tara Beach has become China's first gigabit solar power generation base, with a total of 609 square kilometers built.

After all, I wanted to build a photovoltaic power generation base from the beginning, but in the end it turned out to be an oolong event. After all, from the very beginning, the construction of photovoltaic began with the land, and scientists carried out large-scale land consolidation work and accidentally found a piece of land covered with weeds.

This is a win-win situation, both from an infrastructure perspective and from a livestock perspective. It can not only make use of barren land, but also promote the breeding of cattle and sheep.

Compared with the photovoltaic power plants in other countries, the photovoltaic construction in Tara Beach obviously reflects more wisdom and development prospects. It is believed that in the future, the Taratan photovoltaic power station will continue to make greater contributions to China's industry.

With outstanding wisdom, the Chinese have repeatedly transformed the impossible into possibility, created countless miracles that have amazed the world, and demonstrated the infinite charm and creativity of the Chinese nation.

In order to achieve long-term sustainable development, it is necessary to further strengthen scientific and technological innovation, although there are already natural pastures, they still need to be well maintained to be able to last longer.

At the same time, these Mianyang, which feed on solar panels, are also called "photovoltaic sheep", which can be sold while increasing animal husbandry. After all, China's efforts over the years are obvious to all in the world, and it has made tremendous breakthroughs in various fields.

This "oolong" incident in Tara Beach not only changed the fate of a piece of land, but also changed the lives of people here. Let this land shine with more brilliant brilliance. And all of this stems from the "oolong" incident that once made people laugh and cry.
