Chapter 253: Gezhouba
At 8 o'clock in the evening, after a daytime high-speed journey across the three provinces, Yichang, Hubei Province arrived. The night is the perfect time to get rid of the other party's surveillance and tracking, so it is destined not to be able to take a bath and rest in a star-rated hotel in the city.
However, for the Taoist leaders, these are not problems, and after a day of sleep and refreshment, of course, they just eat chicken for dinner.
Along the river, the brightly lit Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project looks like a glorious city in the middle of the Yangtze River on the central island of the Yangtze River.
Su Su sighed: "This is the first large-scale hydropower station built in China in 1971 and completed in 1988, and it is also the world's largest low-head hydropower station, which is already a well-deserved miracle." If the use time is a little longer, in the use of a few decades, there will definitely be unimaginable miracle attributes, he plays a role is too great, and there are almost no side effects, the effective utilization rate is almost 100%, in terms of utilization rate is the world's other famous American Hoover Dam, Egypt Aswan Dam is completely incomparable. ”
The Dao Elders and Xiao Zhou smiled and said, "Ask Su Zhenren (Goddess) to popularize science!" ”
Su Su said with a smile: "First, at that time, China was engaged in a large third-line project, that is, to prepare for a big war to copy all the heavy industries in the coastal areas into the interior, which produced a huge electricity gap, and the construction of this hydropower station was imperative, whether it was from the perspective of development in the central and western regions or national defense, it played a huge role." ”
The Dao Leader nodded: "Makes sense." ”
Xiao Zhou looked confused: "I don't know what the third line is." ”
Wang Qiang was surprised: "Isn't your tour guide Dayu's flood coming from?" ”
Xiao Zhou said ashamedly: "After all, it is the business of local tour guides, I only learn from local test centers, and I don't understand it at all." ”
Su Su said with a smile: "If you really know all the tour guide business of the so-called foreign attractions, you will be as good as me." ”
Xiao Zhou said excitedly: "A goddess is a god, I will definitely try my best to be a national-level tour guide." ”
Su Su smiled: "Then there is the second, widening and dredging the channel." After Yichang is the Three Gorges, that is, the Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, the ancient parade boat is to pull the fiber, the urgency of the water flow is not today's high gorge out of the Ping Lake can be imagined. Before the dam was built, the annual transportation volume was only a few million tons, but after the dam was repaired, it skyrocketed more than ten times. In the final analysis, that is, the Yangtze River itself has the shipping value, there are too many large, medium and small cities along the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River has upgraded all these cities, which is incomparable to the Nile River, where the Aswan Dam is located. ”
Xiao Zhou said: "The Nile River is the longest river in the world, and the shipping value is not low?" ”
Su Su smiled: "Look at the map of Africa, the upper reaches of the Nile are the unfriendly country of Egypt, Sudan, guess what will happen." The advantage of China is that it has a large Yangtze River. Although the Nile River is large, it has been intercepted by other countries along the route, which is still not very pleasant. Well, Africa is too poor to have much industry, and the dams built can only irrigate and prevent floods, and the utilization rate is much lower. Not to mention the serious problems of salinization of a large amount of downstream land after the construction of the Aswan Dam, the loss of fertility and the silting of the shipping channel, all of which deserve negative scores. ”
Xiao Zhou asked, "What about the Hoover Dam?" ”
Su Su said with a smile: "The Colorado River in the United States, where the Hoover Dam is located, cannot be compared with the Yangtze River, and it is located in the underdeveloped western mountains of the United States, and there are few cities along the route. By the way, Las Vegas, a casino city in the United States, was born because of the power supply of the Hoover Dam, and I don't know if the appearance of this rotten freak city is the merit or stain of the dam. ”
The Taoist chief said disdainfully: "Of course it's a stain, what good thing will happen to those who have anything to do with gambling......"
