Chapter 506: Encounter the Biggest Catfish
In order to avoid conflicts between power generation and shipping, Maike deliberately designed a new type of power generation method, which introduced the river water used to generate electricity into the underground river, greatly increasing the drop of the river water, and then exported the water flow of these power generators from the downstream and then intersected with the waterway.
This not only generates more electricity, but also slows down the impact of the river water on the river, so as not to cause damage to the riverbed.
With an average flow of 16,000 cubic meters per second in the Mekong River, normal shipping simply does not need such a large amount of water, and the introduction of underground rivers solves the problem of too much water to a certain extent.
The success of hydroelectric power freed Little John, who was pulling the boat, because a complete transmission line had been laid along the Mekong River to supply electricity to the big ships.
However, Mai Ke continued to invite these three big fish to accompany him, and maybe there was still some place where they needed their strength to dredge the river.
In addition, little Jonah and Mai Ke reunited after a long absence, and they were willing to be with him, even if they watched Mai Ke there and didn't know what to do, it was good.
Mai Ke completed the dredging of the first horizontal river trunk, and then continued to the north, such a main road from the center to the north, at least four, three of which are in the territory of Southeast Asian countries, mainly the borders of Lao Vortex and Burma, Lao Vortex and Thailand, of course, this is before, now these borders no longer exist, are the territory of the Heavenly Kingdom under the Covenant.
During this afternoon's parade, Jonah Jr. pulled the boat through Kong Falls, but as a normal navigation, many repairs and ancillary works still need to be done.
Therefore, Mai Ke's next step is to go to this difficult area. It is necessary not only to rationalize the north-south transportation, but also to establish a trunk line running from east to west, so that Annam, which is as far as the coast of the South China Sea, and Myanmar, which is close to the Bay of Bengal, can be easily irrigated and navigated by the Mekong River.
I remember that the last time Gu Jizhi reported the results of the Mekong River survey, he specifically mentioned this waterfall area, and Mai Ke was very impressed that they were in great trouble here, and the complex hydrological situation of this place is also very rare.
It would be nice if Gu Jizhi went together, and I don't know where they are going now.
He was sailing north when he suddenly heard someone on the shore shouting that he was going to take a boat north. Two people dressed like beggars could be faintly seen. While chasing the boat, he beckoned, and his mouth was still shouting.
Mai Ke looked at the same and didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't mind carrying this beggar. But you have to stop the boat. Besides, the beggar didn't have to take a boat.
But when he turned around, he suddenly felt that the two of them were a little familiar, and they were looking. Isn't this Gu Jizhi? Needless to say, that one is Mei Han!
So he hurriedly flew over, and carried the two of them one in each hand, and carried them over the boat.
"Two dudes, how did you do it, so embarrassed?" Mai Ke asked strangely, putting them down. "Are you being chased by savages again?"
Last time, these two people entered the Mekong River Basin to investigate in advance, and were chased by the wild people who didn't know where they came from, so they had to hide in the underground river, so they were not captured by those wild people.
As for what these savages are doing with them, whether they are to eat them as food, or whether they are to marry beautiful men, I really don't know what to do.
The two of them ignored Mai Ke, each picked up a bottle of water from the River of Life and drank it violently, picked up a four-season fruit bowl and ate it violently, looking hungry and thirsty.
"It's not a wild man this time, it's a mutated big fish! It wasn't until he drank two bottles of water and finished the fruit bowl that Mei Han answered Mai Ke's question.
"Are you going to Kong Falls? If so, just walk and say, I just escaped from there. ”
Next, the two of them complemented each other, and told Mai Ke and Feng Yunshan about the strange things they encountered.
Because the situation in this waterfall area was too complicated, after helping the expeditionary force cross the Mekong River in the Khmer area, the two broke away from the main army and went to this waterfall area to explore.
Before they came to the future, they already knew that there was a kind of catfish in this area, which was huge in size, and one or two hundred kilograms could be seen everywhere, and the last time they came here, they easily caught one and let them eat it for more than ten days, and they didn't finish it.
If they were stored at normal temperatures, the fish would have spoiled long ago, but they all burrowed into the underground river, where the climate is very cool in the summer, and they are still fresh until the end of the day.
The last time I caught it, this catfish was still a little stupid, it looked very docile, it was easy to be clumsy, and it didn't chase or run when it saw people.
As a result, as soon as I saw them this time, I immediately turned red-eyed, and immediately swarmed up, attacking them desperately, and I was able to fly!
Of course, Mai Ke knows this kind of catfish, which is a specialty of the Mekong River, and is the largest freshwater fish in the world, called "Mekong giant catfish", and the largest can reach 300 kilograms.
If you stay honestly underwater, you can ignore them, but if you attack people, you can't take them seriously, and it will be too late until they cause casualties to tourists.
Moreover, Mai Ke has been alerted, and normal catfish are not flying! Why did they suddenly fly? Could it be that those evil fish are making trouble again?
Mai Ke decided to go and see what was going on, his two guards were there, and there was no need to add more manpower.
So the boat continued north, doing exactly what it had to do along the way, and it didn't take long to reach the waterfall.
Mai Ke was first shocked by the huge momentum of this waterfall, which was also too majestic!
Curiosity prompted Mai Ke to measure the flow, and it reached 40,000 cubic meters per second! If you compare the flow rate, this is definitely the largest waterfall in the world!
Even with such an abundance of water, the drop of this waterfall is still quite impressive, and a cursory glance at Mai Ke shows that the tunnel is at least between 15 and 24 meters.
This huge amount of water that flows endlessly every day is smashed down from a height of one or twenty meters, and it is all electricity! Mai Ke has already seen the high-power generator singing.
The waterfall itself is spectacular, but the vast area below the falls, with its scattered islands, highlands, and sand dunes, is even more spectacular!
Mai Ke scanned it with a movement of the rhino, there were at least more than 1,000, no wonder the locals called it "Four Thousand Beauty Island".
Looking at those small islands, Mai Ke has already begun to plan for future development, if you go to these small islands to build villas, this is definitely a world-class leisure and health resort!
With this in mind, he wanted to take a closer look at the islands, but when he looked closely, he immediately felt his scalp tingle - the islands were full of catfish!
Before he could react, "Hula!" Thousands of catfish took off on the spot and swooped down on the big boat......!
