Chapter 257: The Great Project of the World
Yes, the Internet.
Only Lu Bu knows how much change the Internet can bring.
Although with the current computer technology, it may not be able to support network technology, but Lu Bu first put forward this concept, and then let the people below study it in this direction. I believe that it will not be long before something will be achieved.
Then there are network cables, optical fibers, switches, LCD displays, CRT displays, and so on. These are all key scientific research projects.
In a word, anything that Lu Bu has seen can be used as a development project.
There is no absolute smooth sailing in the world, and Huaguo is indeed thriving.
However, just this year, there was a catastrophe.
"Your Majesty, since the beginning of summer, it has not rained for a month and a half in several northern states of my country. Now the drought is severe, and many crops have died of drought. According to rough estimates, the drought has caused hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. Chen Gong was solemn.
How could Lu Bu not be in a heavy mood: "How are the people? β
"Back to the emperor, since the opening of the Grand Canal, the water source in the north has been greatly reduced. In addition, water conservancy has been extensively repaired and wells have been dug deeply, and the problem of drinking water for the people has not been threatened. At present, the most severely affected areas are the cantons. The state has a large population, and if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid that the people will have difficulty drinking water. β
Chen Gong did not lie and conceal it, because he knew that once he hid it from Lu Bu, he would guarantee that he would not be able to eat and walk around.
If a problem is raised, everyone will discuss and solve it, and Lu Bu will not blame.
If you dare not report it, you will definitely be criticized.
At this moment, the ministers who heard about the disaster couldn't help but whisper.
In the face of natural disasters, everyone will feel powerless.
Since ancient times, locust plagues, earthquakes, droughts, floods, snow disasters, etc., have afflicted countless sages.
Nowadays, although China is changing with each passing day and has developed greatly in science and technology, it is still powerless in the face of natural disasters.
And Lu Bu, how did he not know the big problem of water shortage in the north.
This is a problem that has originated since ancient times, and several dynasties and generations of Chinese people have suffered greatly.
Among them, it naturally also includes the Celestial Empire in later generations.
Lu Bu dug the canal deeper, but only ensured the water source problem on the first line of the canal. But the north is so big, how can it be that there is only a population along the canal.
Nowadays, the state wants to dig coal, and the population here is also second only to Jizhou.
The lack of water in the north in the summer and cold in the winter is really painful.
Although Lu Bu couldn't deal with the snow disaster, because Lu Bu dug up anthracite coal and created things such as warm kang and cotton quilts, people basically won't freeze to death in the north in winter now.
Even if there were, it was an isolated case, and it was nothing at all.
In the future, Lu Bu will also create heating, so Lu Bu is not worried about the cold problem in the north.
However, the problem of water scarcity has been a big problem for a long time.
If we don't address the root causes, we will suffer from this for generations.
Suddenly, Lu Bu, who thought of something, flashed and immediately drank: "Unfold the world map!" β
Yes, the point that Lu Bu thought of was Lake Baikal.
Lake Baikal, the deepest, largest and most water-storing freshwater lake in the world. Its water storage capacity is equivalent to 20% of the world's fresh water.
Since the Han and Tang dynasties, it has been the territory of China.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered, and where Su Wu shepherded sheep was, it was here.
During the Tang Dynasty, it was directly administered as a territory.
However, in the so-called Qing Dynasty, it was ceded to Russia.
Every time he thought of this, Lu Bu's heart ached terribly.
The stupid thing that the stupid emperor did even advocated all kinds of sainthood.
In later generations, there are even all kinds of Qing court dramas, etc., which are simply like cow hair, and they are completely all kinds of kneeling and licking.
Lick your sister, lick, and fight for favor.
Fight your sister, fight!
Han people kneel and lick people, you are still very happy, aren't you?
Lake Baikal is due north of Huaxia, within the same longitude as Huaxia, and the altitude is not much different. As long as a canal is dug over, it is guaranteed that the problem of water shortage in northern China can be greatly alleviated.
If Lu Bu is willing to make great efforts to dig and build reservoirs in various ways, the water source problem in the entire north can be solved.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Bu couldn't help but be excited.
Thankfully, he was reborn into a wonderful time.
In this era, he wanted to bring the water of Lake Baikal to China.
The big map soon unfolded, and Lu Bu pointed to Lake Baikal and said, "Do you know this place?" β
The world map has been popularized in China, and most of the officials know how big the world is and how many countries there are.
It's just that many people don't know the place Lu Bu is referring to.
It's not that they haven't studied geography, where do they understand.
Chen Gong replied: "The minister has read the history books, if it is not bad, this place should be called 'Beihai', and it was conquered during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. β
Yes, during the Han and Sui periods, it was called Beihai.
During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was called in the Great Water of Sini.
After the Tang Dynasty conquered it, it was renamed Xiaohai.
Until the Qing Dynasty, after being ceded to Russia, it was changed to Baihar Lake, Baihaier Lake, etc.
Lu Bu smiled: "Yes, it is Beihai." As long as the water of the North Sea is introduced into our country, the problem of water shortage in the northern part of our country will be greatly improved. It's called the North Sea, but it's actually a freshwater lake, and the water is so clean that it's ready to use. β
Chen Deng frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this water is so far away from the northern states and counties of our country, why do you divert water?" β
Lu Bu pointed to Liangzhou and said, "Dig, dig a canal to come out." By introducing the water of the North Sea into the Liangzhou Basin, and then flowing down to the east, the northern part of China will no longer be troubled by water shortage. β
Chen Deng grunted and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this amount of work is ......."
Lu Bu nodded: "It is indeed a huge project, and its amount of work is not even smaller than that of domestic canal projects." But this is a move for generations, and we can't afford to do it. Yuanlong, this matter is fully responsible for your Ministry of Industry, first map the route of the canal, two years ......, no, you must give me an answer within a year! β
"Obey the order!" Chen Deng had no choice but to accept the order.
Since Lu Bu designated the diversion of water into Liangzhou, there is a general direction.
Yes, LΓΌ Bu knew that in later generations there was a great project to lead Lake Baikal into Xinjiang.
Because Lake Baikal flows a large amount of fresh water to the Arctic Ocean every year, why can't it be exploited since it is a water source that is lost in vain?
Originally, both China and Russia had considerable intentions. However, there is a Mongolia in between.
Therefore, this major project has not been implemented.
However, now it is different, Lu Bu has been reborn into an era that belongs entirely to him.
By this time, he had conquered the north. As long as Zhao Yun and the others completely conquer Ding Ling, the ownership of this lake will naturally belong to him.
Lu Bu said that he wanted the world's resources to build the Chinese territory.
Then, how can the waters of the North Sea be unbalanced.
Even at high altitudes, he has to pump it.
Wind power pumping, solar pumping, these technologies, enough to ensure permanent power.
Electricity pumping in the early stage is not a big problem.
In addition to the waters of the North Sea, there are various sources of Siberian water.
Lu Bu even had a bold idea, which was to dig.
Dig up all the water systems that can be connected.
Later generations could not do this because there were too many kingdoms and all kinds of project budgets.
But now it's different, everything is up to him.
Moreover, he also has a large number of slaves at his disposal.
Of course, these projects are too big to be created little by little.
At present, Lu Bu is to consider how to ensure the drinking water of the people in the north.
Lu Bu quickly gave instructions, that is, bottled water.
