After asking Qin Wenbin, Li Dashun also asked other questions.

"Brother Qin, if you haven't signed a contract, can you use tap water to water the wheat fields?"

Qin Wenbin was stunned, thought about the company's regulations, and then replied: "Our company uses step-by-step charges, as if each household will give a preliminary price of 100 cubic meters per mu based on the registered farmland area..."

Then he looked through the company's documents and gave a specific number.

1 to 100 cubic meters, 0.5 yuan per cubic meters; 101 to 500 cubic meters, 0.7 yuan per cubic meters; 501 to 2,000 cubic meters, 1 yuan per cubic meters; more than 2,000 cubic meters, 2.6 yuan per cubic meters.

However, Linzhou locally provided a subsidy, each household subsidized 200 cubic meters of affordable water per mu based on the area of ​​farmland planted every year, and the price was 0.08 yuan per cubic cube.

This price is 0.05 yuan higher than the Hongqi Canal, but in fact, this water is definitely more cost-effective than the Hongqi Canal.

Just as the two were talking, a minibus and six Dongfeng Mengshi also appeared on the village road of Tuntou Village.

The minibus stopped, and the three pickup trucks behind also stopped.

A group of people wearing anti-virus helmets got off the minibus, Dongfeng Mengshi, and pickup trucks. Among them were Xiao Yuan, the president of Fengmin Agriculture, Zhao Xiaojun of Shandong Province Water Affairs, Zhao Kang of Henan Province Water Affairs, Zhou Rui of Linzhou Water Affairs Branch and others.

However, an unexpected figure also appeared in the crowd, Huang Xiuyuan, who had been at the Texas Semiconductor Base for more than half a year.

After getting off the minibus, Huang Xiuyuan looked around and saw the mountains and fields lush. After harvesting winter wheat, the exposed wheat fields appeared in brown gray, mixed with a little green line.

"Chairman, this is the branch canal of the Hongqi Canal." Zhou Rui, the local water affairs manager, pointed to a canal not far from the road and said.

Huang Xiu walked closer to one side of the channel and found that the channel had some signs of disrepair. Not only were weeds, but some places also collapsed.

"What are your thoughts?"

Zhao Kang, who was following aside, turned his eyes like goldfish eyes: "Chairman, my idea is to abandon the branch and protect the main body. The current problem with the branch and channel of the old channel is that the line is long, it has been disrepaired for a long time, and it has severe penetration."

As an old native of Linzhou, Zhou Rui even knows the current dilemma of Hongqi Canal:

"Our company just entered Linzhou last year and discovered this serious problem. The average watering cost per mu of wheat fields per mu is about 7 to 10 yuan, while those farmlands in remote branch canals cost 30 to 80 yuan per mu, and many farmers feel that it is too high."

Huang Xiuyuan reviewed the investigation report of Linzhou Water Company and found that this was indeed the case.

The more troublesome problem is that the upstream of the Hongqi Canal is the jurisdiction of Jin Province and Hebei Province. In recent years, water resources in various parts of the north have been in short supply. The previous free water transfer has also become paid water transfer. Millions of funds are required to be paid to come from the upstream, resulting in about tens of millions of cubic meters of water resources.

In addition to the infiltration and evaporation along the way, the water supply of Hongqi Canal is a loss-making business itself.

Zhou Rui continued to complain: "In winter, you must pay attention to icing. If the ice is not broken in time, once some channels are frozen, it may cause floods to flood the canal. Last year, I took an excavator to break the ice manually."

Huang Xiuyuan did not expect that the problem of the Hongqi Canal had reached such a serious point: "It seems that we can only abandon part of the branch canal and switch to our water supply pipeline."

"We are currently laying groundwater pipes in Linzhou's pipelines," Zhao Kang said immediately.

The group walked while chatting, and after walking for hundreds of meters, the main line of the water supply pipeline in the distance became clearer and clearer.

Zhao Xiaojun pointed to the factory in the distance: "Chairman, we have encountered some power supply problems."

"It's the power grid that refuses to lay a dedicated line for us, right?" Huang Xiuyuan seemed to have expected it.

Zhao Xiaojun nodded helplessly: "Now our water supply pipeline is getting bigger and bigger, and this problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise when the power grid is out of power, our water supply work can only stop as soon as it is not possible."

"In Texas, our electricity can basically be self-supported, but the power supply pressure on other lines is very high, which also increases our operating costs."

Huang Xiu looked into the water supply pipeline in the distance and immediately made a decision: "Then build our internal small power grid!"

He talked about his ideas, through several medium-sized power plants, and then lay solar panels and high-voltage transmission lines on the water pipeline to form a collinear pattern of hydropower.

In conjunction with decarbonization technology, the power in the remaining period of electricity is converted into carbon blocks to reserve, ensuring that the entire northern water supply pipeline network can achieve self-sufficiency of electricity.

After some discussion, Zhao Kang, Zhao Xiaojun and others also remember that this is the best method at present. Otherwise, every time the pipeline in the Blue Era arrives in a place, they will have to grind their teeth with the power grid and cooperate with the power grid to scatter peaks and fill valleys, which seriously affects the normal operation of the water company.

Unless the power grid is willing to open an opening and let the Suiren-based companies directly connect to the power plant, everyone present knows that this is almost impossible.

In the three links of power generation, distribution and electricity use, unless it is self-supported power generation, the power plant cannot bypass the power grid and supply power to other users even if it has idle production capacity.

Perhaps many people will say that Weiqiao Company does not generate electricity by itself.

Therefore, the relationship between Weiqiao and the power grid has even deteriorated to the point of an armed fight.

The power grid also has many opinions on the Suiren Group, but it has not found an excuse, because the Suiren Group uses all the electricity and has not developed into residential electricity business.

In addition, the influence of the Suiren system is several orders higher than that of Weiqiao, so the power grid dare not go too far. At most, it will passively slacken and deliberately fail to cooperate.

Huang Xiuyuan thought about it, returned to the minibus, and sent an email to Qin Lizhang to explain the necessity and helplessness of the self-organized power grid in the Blue Era, and asked him to explain the situation to the above.

After all, in order to cooperate with the East Water Transportation Project, if the electricity cost is too high, it will indirectly increase the water transfer cost.

With the water supply pipelines in the Blue Era, gradually approaching the inland Jin Province, Qin Province and central and western Mongolian District, the water service in this area is in charge of the United Group.

According to the agreement between Blue Age and United Water, the water pipeline entering the Northwest will be undertaken by United Group.

In the current agreement, the price obtained by United Group is around 1.7 to 2.2 yuan per cubic cube, which is definitely not cheap, and is even obviously higher.

But Huang Xiuyuan knew that in the Blue Age, he only earned less than 0.13 yuan per cubic cube of pure water, mainly because the water supply cost was too high.

The factors that affect the cost of water transmission are too high, in addition to the sharing of the construction cost of huge water transmission pipelines, are the impact of electricity costs.

The cost per cubic purified water from Dongying to Linzhou is as high as 1.3 yuan. When entering Jin and Qin provinces, it basically reaches about 1.5 yuan. In addition, the Blue Age is going to make a profit, and the investment is increased by 0.13 yuan.

The more you rely on the inland western part, the higher the ex-factory price of pure water will be.

The costs and the construction costs of water pipelines will become smaller and smaller over time, but the electricity bill will not be reduced too much.

According to internal data from Blue Era, the current electricity cost in water transmission costs accounts for about 42 to 48%.

The price of the power grid to Blue Age is 0.73 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and after local subsidies, it is 0.4 to 0.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour.
