Turpan, Xinjiang: ¥958 Million Grid Investment Supports Water-Saving Irrigation for 630,000 Mu of Vineyards
TURPAN, China, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 11, staff from the State Grid Turfan Power Supply Company assisted villager Muhetaer Reheman in inspecting potential electrical hazards for well irrigation in his vineyard at Xialeke Village, Yare Town, Gaochang District, Turpan. As the valve opened, an efficient water-saving micro-spray irrigation system buried underground sprayed water, allowing the grapevines to promptly quench their thirst.
"With 7 mu of vineyards, I used to spend over ¥2,000 annually on flood irrigation. After upgrading to efficient water-saving irrigation, I now save more than ¥500 per year on water costs," Muhetaer said happily.
Turpan receives only about 16 mm of annual rainfall but experiences evaporation exceeding 3,000 mm. As the region's economic lifeline, agricultural water use accounts for 84% of the city's total consumption. Grape cultivation—the dominant specialty agriculture—is both the largest water consumer and the sector with the greatest potential for water conservation.
To comprehensively address the power demands of water-saving irrigation, State Grid Turfan Power Supply Company has proactively invested ¥958 million in recent years. This initiative included building 1,349.28 km of new 10 kV power lines and installing/upgrading 1,168 distribution transformers, providing robust support for the adoption of efficient water-saving irrigation technology.
Data shows that micro-spray irrigation saves 203 cubic meters of water per mu compared to traditional flood irrigation, achieving a water-saving rate of 22.31%. In the second half of 2024, Turpan's groundwater levels rose by 0.32 meters year-on-year, demonstrating significant progress in water resource conservation.

輝達CEO黃仁勳認為量子計算正迎來轉折點
【彭博】-- 輝達執行長黃仁勳周三表示，量子計算正迎來轉折點，並將在未來幾年強大到足以幫助全球「解決一些有趣的問題」。 黃仁勳在巴黎舉行的VivaTech 2025大會與輝達聯合活動上發表主題演講時表示，科技公司已經開發了幾十年的量子計算勢將騰飛，系統將迅速變得「更穩健、性能更高並更具韌性」。 受黃仁勳講話影響，開發量子技術的相關公司股價在美股盤前上漲，D-Wave Quantum Inc.漲約2%，IonQ Inc.漲3.6%，Rigetti Computing Inc.漲4.5%，Quantum Computing Inc.漲8.4%。 黃仁勳表示，輝達的晶片將用於支持量子計算，該公司的整個量子算法堆棧將在其Grace Blackwell 200晶片上可用並加速。量子計算機有望顯著提升大型語言模型的運行速度，並創造更強大的人工智能。 原文標題Nvidia's Huang Sees Quantum Computing Reaching Inflection Point More stories like this are available on ©2025 Bloomberg L.P.

任正非：美國誇大華為成就 華為晶片較美國落後一代
華為行政總裁任正非接受《人民日報》訪問時指，華為的晶片仍較美國落後一代，但公司正通過不同方法來提高性能彌補不足，在結果上也能達到實用狀況；他又指美國誇大華為的成就，中國有許多做得不錯的晶片公司，華為只是其中一間。 任正非提到，公司每年在研發上投入1,800億元人民幣，並表示中國在中低端晶片上是可以有機會的，特別是化合物半導體機會更大。(ss/j)~ 阿思達克財經新聞 網址: Error while retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data Error while retrieving data
