It is a matter of King Chen, no wonder the Homeland Security Bureau did not easily report the matter to Li Weiguo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, Li Weiguo, as the emperor, cannot tolerate adultery.

In the case of Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage, it is necessary to collect evidence for a retrial, if there is no conclusive evidence of murder, just because the two of them have committed the crime of committing the crime, but they will not be sentenced to death, and they need to be given justice.

However, the Homeland Security Agency intervened in this matter, with the aim of dealing with Li Hongzhang and the remnants of the former dynasty, as well as the Assassin League affiliated with them, to eliminate them once and for all, which happened to be an introduction.

Therefore, Li Bin, director of the Bureau of Homeland Security, was not afraid of making a big fuss, and the bigger the trouble, the better, and finally used public opinion to set up a trap for Li Hongzhang and them, so as to eradicate the messy crotch (dang) in one fell swoop.

Li Weiguo did not blame Li Bin, agreed with his approach, and would do the same if it were himself.

However, Li Weiguo still wanted to comfort Yang Naiwu's sister and dispel her concerns.

Subsequently, Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage, and even a group of people involved in the case were handed over to the Supreme Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Chinese Empire to re-file the case and collect evidence.

As a result, the case of Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage, which included the struggle for power in the imperial court and the participation of hostile forces at home and abroad, became a new round of secret war involving all forces.

Public opinion began to pay attention, and those remnants of the former dynasty who were unwilling to lose their status finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to stand up and smear the court.

The court didn't say anything, just let them play the role of clowns, the more cheerful they jumped, the more proud they were, and the more horses and feet were exposed.

Li Weiguo asked Concubine Yi to sleep that night, and by the way, he put on the words of the person next to him, but he didn't find out that Yilan had anything to do with this matter, I am afraid that someone with a heart is pulling the banner under the tiger skin of Concubine Yi.

As long as the harem is not involved, it is not a big deal, and Li Weiguo can also deal with the case of Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage with confidence, and take the opportunity to eradicate hidden dangers within the empire, killing two birds with one stone.

The next day, Li Weiguo appointed Weng Tongyi as the minister of the Imperial Mission, with full authority to supervise the case.

In history, it was Weng Tonggong who handled the case of Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage, in this case, Li Weiguo also fulfilled Weng Tonggong once, so that he could understand this fate with Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage, and achieve Weng Tonggong's reputation.

Weng Tongyi presided over the investigation committee to retry the case, which will take time, and there is no need to elaborate.

Li Weiguo returned to the Forbidden City this time for a short stay, and then left for Yichang, Hubei.

This time, I didn't go to the mountains and rivers to play with the girl, but to inspect the Three Gorges Project.

In later generations, the Three Gorges Project attracted worldwide attention, and a hydropower station solved the electricity problem of half of China, benefited people's livelihood, and boosted the development of industrial economy.

Of course, there are pros and cons to the Three Gorges Project, and some people say that the face-saving project will cost the people and money, damage the environment, and cause geological disasters, but on the whole the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages.

In this life, Li Weiguo attached great importance to hydropower generation, especially the rapid development of the industrial economy of the Chinese Empire, which had a huge demand for power resources, while the traditional thermal power stations were too inefficient and polluting.

The current industrial achievements of the Chinese Empire are equivalent to the industrial achievements made by China in the 20 years of reform and opening up in the later generations. Later, China built the Three Gorges Dam because of rapid economic growth and power shortage.

Today, too, the Chinese Empire's economy is growing rapidly, and there is a severe shortage of electricity.

By the time of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty in 3994, in 1894 AD, the Chinese Empire had built a total of 10,000 power stations across the country, of which only 500 were hydropower stations, and the rest were all thermal power stations.

Especially in industrial areas, thermal power stations are even more out of sight, and still cannot meet the demand for industrial electricity. With the higher and higher living standards of the people, various refrigerators, washing machines, lights, telephones, air conditioners and other electrical appliances have entered thousands of households, and residents' electricity consumption has surged.

This situation is relatively stable in the northern region, where there is more coal, more thermal power stations, and cheaper electricity prices. However, the lack of coal in the south and the high operating costs of thermal power stations can only be compensated by hydropower stations. However, the installed capacity of Xiaojiang Xiaohe's hydropower station is low, and it still cannot solve the problem of electricity difficulty.

Today, the Chinese Empire is at a critical juncture in the power revolution, and the shortage of electricity restricts the economic development of the Chinese Empire and has become an urgent problem for the imperial court.

Fortunately, Li Weiguo was far-sighted and began to plan the construction of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station in the Three Gorges area of Yichang eight years ago.

However, the construction of the Three Gorges Power Station was slow at first, because it was difficult to intercept and divert the Yangtze River, and at the same time, the reservoir area in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River flooded a large number of towns, farmland, and homes, and the relocation of local residents, and the government compensation was a big problem.

After several years of negotiations, the local residents finally agreed to the government's compensation terms, because they trusted the emperor Li Weiguo, because Li Weiguo had unparalleled prestige, and if someone else became emperor, the common people would never give face so easily.

It's like when the Three Gorges Dam was built in later generations, Mao Taizu had already passed away, so many people didn't buy the government's account, if Mao Taizu was alive, just one sentence, no one would object.

This is the prestige of the first generation of leaders, and Li Weiguo is also because of the founding emperor, whose prestige is incomparable, and he said that the Three Gorges Project will benefit future generations, and the common people will be convinced and actively cooperate with the relocation.

The investment in the Three Gorges Project is huge, and looking at the current world, no country dares to invest 2 billion yuan in such a large amount, because if one project is not done well, the entire empire will be dragged down.

However, Li Weiguo is bold, and he believes that once the Three Gorges Power Station is completed, it will reap 10 or even 100 times the economic benefits for future generations.

Of course, what really prompted Li Weiguo to make up his mind and urge the Chinese Empire's Congress to approve this project was because the economic growth rate of the Chinese Empire slowed down five years ago, and the military confrontation between the Allies and the Entente led to a setback in the Chinese Empire's foreign trade exports and a decline in exports. At the same time, the huge scale of domestic industry and the huge industrial inventory have brought a destabilizing impact on the economy of the Chinese Empire, like a timed smashed egg, which may explode at any time.

Under such circumstances, the strategy proposed by Li Weiguo is to expand domestic demand.

In the past, the Chinese Empire was engaged in the construction of railways and highways, and the scale of urbanization was huge, and the surplus industrial stocks such as steel and cement would be consumed by these projects every year. But when the railway is repaired, once the buildings in the city are repaired, there will be no problems in a hundred years (real materials), so the stamina is insufficient, and now it is just right, the supply and demand of the house and the people are balanced, and if you want to develop real estate, there will be a bubble crisis.

Li Weiguo was well aware of the harm of real estate in later generations, so he introduced policies to limit the real estate industry to a reasonable level of development and prevent the emergence of bubbles.

So the huge domestic industrial capacity, the huge amount of industrial output, although the factory owners are aware of the risk and began to reduce production, but the inventory is still huge, and there is the possibility of an economic crisis.

Therefore, Li Weiguo vigorously pursued the policy of expanding domestic demand, and even used the trick of moving the capital to the large-scale development of the western region, the northern region, and the southern part of the country.

The Three Gorges Dam was passed in this situation, because the Chinese Empire's steel and cement production capacity was so strong and so cheap that it would be difficult to absorb the huge amount of inventory without some huge projects.

Taking advantage of the low price of steel and cement to build the Three Gorges Dam can not only save the imperial court financial expenditure, but also help steel factories and cement factories to destock, reduce the risk of economic crisis caused by unsalable products, and at the same time, the huge project will provide hundreds of thousands of job opportunities and indirectly benefit millions of people.

This time, Li Weiguo went to Yichang to personally watch the Yangtze River interception.

On 18 July, the Yangtze River was cut off as dozens of trucks dumped ladenloads of sand, gravel and mud down. The boiling water of the Yangtze River could only flow to the nearby sluice, and the Three Gorges Dam was closed.

I waited for five years for this day.

Firecrackers rang out in unison, and drums shook the sky.

Li Weiguo stepped on the embankment and expressed his condolences to all the front-line staff, who were not ordinary people, but the production and construction corps of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire.

Only with the ability and concerted efforts of the soldiers can the Yangtze River embankment be intercepted and closed so beautifully and quickly.

"Your Majesty, the next task is to officially build the Three Gorges Embankment and install the generator set, which will take about two years, and then you can store water to generate electricity."

The speaker was Deng Chengxiu, the director of the Ministry of Industry Zuo Shilang and the Ministry of Water Resources (Water Conservancy Bureau), and as an official of the former dynasty, he was still able to be reused by Li Weiguo, which shows that he is really capable.

Although the Three Gorges Dam was proposed by Li Weiguo, the actual executor and designer was Deng Chengxiu and his team from the Ministry of Engineering.

From the investigation to the drawing, the design and planning drawings of the Three Gorges Dam finally came out, which can be described as painstaking.

According to Deng Chengxiu's design, the main dam of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station is 2,564 meters long, 205 meters high, and the estimated water level is 180 meters.

Among them, there are 40 water inlets in the main dam section, and the bottom sill elevation is 175 meters. The right bank wing dam is arc-shaped, 986 meters long, and is a single-pier big head dam with a maximum dam height of 100.5 meters. The left diversion control dam section is 670 meters long and is a gravity dam with a maximum dam height of 192 meters. The rockfill dam on the left bank is 1984 meters, and the largest dam is 170 meters. The reinforced concrete dam on the left bank is 2,294 meters long and the maximum dam height is 70 meters. Including shore spillways, locks and other buildings, the total length of the water retaining front of the entire hub is 8,760 meters.

This design not only surpasses the scale of the Three Gorges Dam in later generations, but also is more advanced in structure.

Because the Three Gorges Dam in later generations is to generate electricity, but not the main task, the main task is flood control and drought control, which limits the role of the Three Gorges Dam, for example, in the flood season, has to discharge floodwater, the dam water storage level dropped sharply, the loss of 80% of the hydropower generation.

Moreover, the structure of the Three Gorges Dam in later generations was mainly based on flood control and drought control, resulting in the structural design of the dam not being based on power generation, which is a little-known insider.

In this life, Li Weiguo's goal is very simple: the main task of the Three Gorges is to generate electricity, and the task of flood control and drought control is only incidental.

Because the population of the Chinese Empire is only 450 million at present, because of the full development of the heavy industry base in the north in the past 20 years, the population has converged to the north and the eastern coast, and the population in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the central and western regions is small, less than one million, and there is basically no industry. In later generations, when the Three Gorges Dam was built, the population in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River gathered hundreds of millions of people because of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and land was scarce.

Nowadays, for the Chinese Empire, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not difficult for a million people to move away, because the Chinese Empire has fertile land waiting for them to cultivate. The entire middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, within 100 kilometers on both sides of the river, have all become no-man's land, returning to nature, there is no arable land, and there is no need for flood control and drought control.

Therefore, the structure of the Three Gorges Dam in this life is designed to mainly generate electricity, which saves a lot of trouble.

After listening to the blueprint of the Three Gorges Dam, Li Weiguo couldn't help but nod his head, feeling very satisfied, and said: "Once the Three Gorges Dam is completed, it will become the world's largest hydropower station, just like the Great Wall, and become the world's largest. ”

The responsible officials were immediately beaming with joy and hurriedly thanked.

Deng Chengxiu asked: "Your Majesty, since it is the largest hydropower station in the world, I don't know that the generator set has been successfully developed?" If it is a general low-power generator set, I am afraid it will be too wasteful. You must know that the Three Gorges Dam is designed to be 200 meters high, and once it is completed and impounded, the water level will be as high as 180 meters. ”

Li Weiguo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I heard you talk about this matter five years ago, so naturally I have already prepared." ”

Hua Yufang of the Imperial Academy of Sciences saw Li Weiguo look at him, and immediately understood, and stood up to explain: "Don't worry, Lord Deng, Your Majesty has a purpose, and the research and development of large-scale hydropower units began five years ago, and it was designed by a genius scientist himself. ”

Deng Chengxiu was curious: "I don't know if it was designed by the great power himself?" How big is a large hydropower unit? ”

Hua Yufang waved his hand and asked people to bring a set of drawings for Deng Chengxiu to see, and at the same time explained: "His name is Tesla, he is very talented, this is the hydropower unit he designed, you can see it by looking at it!" ”

Deng Chengxiu took it and was taken aback.

"A single generator assembly capacity of 100,000 kilowatts? This- how is this possible? ”

No wonder Deng Chengxiu was taken aback, you must know that the world's largest hydropower assembly capacity is only 5,000 kilowatts, what is the concept of 100,000 kilowatts, a full 20 times!

Li Weiguo smiled secretly in his heart, he was surprised that only 100,000 kilowatts would be like this, if you knew that in a hundred years, any small hydropower station could install hundreds of thousands of kilowatts of units, and you would not be scared to death.

However, Li Weiguo has to admit that this Tesla is too good, and what seems impossible to others can do.

100,000 kilowatts, in fact, Tesla deserted.

If Deng Chengxiu knew that Tesla had designed this blueprint for a 100,000-kilowatt hydropower unit in just one month, it would have been really scared to death.

For Tesla's power, he doesn't have time to deal with this kind of hydropower station unit power problem, his energy is focused on the radio career, such as radio energy transmission systems, such as cosmic wireless waves, which are all means of hooking up with aliens and used to deal with earthlings, which is indeed overkill.

Of course, under the pressure of Li Weiguo, Tesla reluctantly designed a long-distance high-voltage transmission system, which was tailored for the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, to transmit the power of the Three Gorges to the southern and northwestern provinces.

Deng Chengxiu looked down in disbelief.

The power plant, designed by Tesla, is 1,968 meters long, 99 meters wide and 112 meters high. 68 hydro-generator sets are installed in the plant, with two installation rooms and two control rooms. The distance between the center line of the plant and the axis of the dam is 111.5 meters.

Looking at the diameter of the runner of the turbine, it is as high as 8.647 meters, and the diameter of the volute inlet is also 9.64 meters. A runner weighed 315 tons, and a water turbine weighed more than 3,300 tons, which stunned a group of friends.

Deng Chengxiu wanted to say something in his heart, if this Nima wants to be such a monster, how much does it cost to build such a big guy! (To be continued.) )
