Chapter 365: Bringing Water to the Cold
You know, this first paragraph is basically the most difficult paragraph.
The sea level in the North Sea is only 455 meters, while the grassland is thousands of meters above sea level.
To raise the altitude by almost six hundred meters is no joke.
But as long as you mention the plateau, then the rest is simple.
The sea dial in Liangzhou is within a kilometer, and you can go to Liangzhou completely downstream.
And now, after more than two years, the first two sections of the river have finally been dug up.
One section was dug from the North Sea, and the other section was brought up to the grassland.
Naturally, the dam has been built a long time ago, just waiting to lift water.
Of course, it is precisely because of the low sea allocation to the high sea allocation that it is impossible to build a hydropower station.
For this project, Lu Bu transferred nearly 300,000 people from various tribes of the grassland, Jiankun, Dingling and other tribes to dig and build.
Fortunately, the engineering accuracy is not as high as the Grand Canal of Lu Bu, and basically as long as the river channel is dug out.
Then simply fix the embankment, and then plant trees on both sides of the river to prevent damage to the river.
Of course, in order to be able to carry out short-distance transportation, Lu Bu still required that the river should be at least 20 meters wide.
In this way, short-distance transportation along the road can be transported by water.
Looking at the thick high-pressure pumps, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Bu is not worried about the technical problems at all, what he is worried about is how much energy will be consumed.
If you want to turn the whole of Liangzhou into a rich water town, how much energy will it consume?
If the effort is not proportional to the return, it is a loss.
Even if Lu Bu wants to use the world's resources to build the rooster territory, it will not be without limits.
Lu Bu couldn't help asking, "Have you ever tested energy consumption?" ”
Chen Deng said with a smile: "The emperor can rest assured, there is no shortage of natural gas power generation now." So it doesn't matter if you consume some electricity in the early stage. In the future, Chen plans to build wind and solar power generation units here, which can provide permanent power. This is a great project that we have to endure and we can only do as long as it is completed to carry water into the cool. It is believed that in less than a hundred years, Liangzhou and the Western Regions Changshi Mansion can also become water towns. The northern land of China will also greatly reduce the drought situation. ”
Lu Bu nodded, the disadvantage of thermal power generation is that when you don't use electricity at night, you will lose a lot of electricity in vain.
Because of the power plant, it is impossible to stop running. Hydroelectric power can lift water, while thermal power can only consume fuel in vain.
Now it is used for pumping, which is also the integration and utilization of resources.
Then, the latter can be lowered downstream, and the dam can be built to create hydroelectric power.
In this way, the actual energy consumption is not much.
And Lu Bu's request is actually to use all the pure water that Beihai loses to the ocean every year.
In this way, it will not have much impact on the ecological environment of the North Sea.
Of course, once it is opened up in the early stage, it will definitely be appropriate to mention more water.
But it is basically guaranteed that the level of the North Sea will not drop too much.
"Your Majesty, can you pump water?"
Lu Bu nodded: "Okay, let's start!" ”
As Lu Bu nodded, Chen Deng ordered the electric pump to pump water.
The staff who had been preparing for a long time pressed the button one after another.
With a whining sound, thirty large electric pumps were running one after another.
In the blink of an eye, above the embankment where everyone was, they saw a thick water pipe spurting out pure water with white flowers.
At this moment, the hundred officials were shocked, and the salute was fired.
Pumped, really pumped.
Although he has long known that the test has been successful, he has witnessed with his own eyes how the hundred officials are not surprised or delighted.
In this way, according to Lu Bu's vision, these water sources can continue to flow to Liangzhou and the Western Regions.
And that realm is a vast plain.
With water, it means that you can grow food.
So, how much food can be grown in such a large territory!
What everyone sees is not only food, but also the future of China.
Not to mention 3 billion Han people, even if it is 30 billion, everyone doesn't think it's an exaggeration.
Think about it before, there was no way to water except with picks.
When Lu Bu invented the windmill and reduced the manpower and animal power, everyone was already shocked.
Now, the windmill counts as yarn.
That's simply not a grade.
Look at the amount of water, look at the majesty of this jet.
All kinds of praise continue, all kinds of long live continue.
Not only the Han people were happy, but the grassland people were also very happy.
As long as you are willing to dig rivers, grasslands with water and grasslands without water are not the same level at all.
Having water means that their aquatic plants will be more abundant, and they will be able to raise more cattle and sheep.
Moreover, now that a large number of earthen forts have been built, people are basically not afraid of starvation and cold, and the cases of cattle and sheep starving to death are becoming less and less.
In this way, how can you not be rich?
Now, the grassland people's hatred for Lu Bu has begun to fade away, and they have begun to support Lu Bu's rule more and more from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, everyone wants to live a better life if they can live well.
It doesn't make much sense to cross the river with hatred.
Similarly, Lu Bu did not think about overhauling the grassland.
In addition to building some local factories and greenhouses to grow vegetables and provide local materials for use, the grassland people are herding.
If you don't use such a natural pasture, what else do you want to do?
Moreover, Lu Bu also made many policy changes.
Not only the previous grazing species, Lu Bu has carefully selected more than a dozen species with more economic value.
First of all, cows certainly don't go without saying.
In the past, it could only be eaten by their locals, and the economic value was not great.
But in the wider South and around the world, there are still countless people waiting to drink.
So, how much the cow is worth is not preferred.
In addition, such as yaks and all kinds of more valuable fine-wool sheep, etc., are all livestock breeds that Lu Bu vigorously promotes.
In the past, the reason why the grassland people had to go south to plunder was that they couldn't survive the winter.
In winter, the grassland is dry, first, cattle and sheep have no food, and second, it is easy to freeze to death.
And the grassland people don't know how to manage better, so they will naturally go south to plunder if they don't have food.
And now, everything has changed.
More effective management, coupled with improved road traffic, water supply, and how the grasslands are not rich.
Moreover, the grassland can grow potatoes in large quantities, and Lu Bu can also build a large number of potato generators.
Potato power generation is extremely simple, a copper sheet and a zinc sheet are sufficient. Moreover, its electricity is also considerable.
In other words, Lu Bu only needs to find the relevant batteries to meet the daily electricity needs of the grassland people.
The grassland is so big, and the grassland people are mainly nomadic, and it is certainly impossible to have wires everywhere.
So, potatoes to generate electricity, it is completely feasible.
First use it to generate electricity, then use it to eat, and there is no waste at all.
Well, looking at these jubilant steppe people, Lu Bu felt that it was time to open his mind and accept these people.
The grassland people have created too many benefits for Lu Bu, and it is time to make some returns.
Moreover, later generations are also integrated with Huaxia, and now they are unified by Lu Bu, so why bother too much.
Lu Bu gave high praise on the spot and encouraged everyone's work.
Next, it is natural to continue to dig and build the main road to lead the water to Liangzhou.
With the excavator as the main driving force, Lu Bu believes that within two years, it will definitely be possible.
He also wanted to see if he could create another Huaxia.
At the same time, Yizhou in southern Xinjiang.
Liu Chan led the army and surrounded the last big force in the Southern Barbarians.
Zhu Rong's.
Caven is amazing.
