The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 265 South-to-North Water Diversion Project! To benefit the common people, all dynasties will be silent! Liu Che: My situation is too small!

At this moment, in the palace, Xuanzong Li Longji rarely showed a look of concern for the country and the people.

The function of the Three Gorges Dam was related to flood control. Recalling the successive floods in the past few years, Li Longji suddenly felt a little curious.

How was such a dam built?

And the parameters of the Three Gorges Dam made Li Longji's eyes almost pop out!

"The total length is 2309 meters and the height is 185 meters? Protecting the 1500 million people and 2300 million acres of land in the Jingjiang area in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River?"

Li Longji simply put in the substitutions and did the conversion, and he was instantly dumbfounded!

About eight hundred feet long and sixty feet high...

Is this a flood control dam?
This is simply a city wall, no, this is even higher than the city wall of Chang'an City!
Li Longji couldn't understand how future generations could create such a thing, but Li Longji knew very well that there would definitely be more than one project like this in future generations.

Ah!
"The prosperous Kaiyuan era?"

"What a prosperous age this is!"

Li Longji sighed sincerely, and his heart was full of doubts and shock.

Why?

Is a dam of this size really humanly possible?

Ming dynasty.

Emperor Yongle was once again impressed by the talents of later generations, but he was more concerned about the word "power generation" at the moment.

This is not the first time he has seen the word "electricity" from the sky!

But Zhu Di couldn't figure it out at the moment. What was the role of the lightning in the sky?
Besides, how can such a dam generate electricity?

……

[Second, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project! 】

[The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is a major strategic project that will divert part of China's abundant water resources from the Yangtze River Basin to North China and northwest China, thereby changing China's situation of floods in the south and drought in the north, and severe water shortages in the north! 】

[The purpose is to promote the coordinated development of the economy, society, population, resources, and environment in the north and south of China. 】

[This project has three water diversion lines: the eastern, middle and western lines, with a total investment of 5000 billion yuan. The scale and difficulty of the project exceed that of the Three Gorges Project. So far, the middle route project and the first phase of the east route project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project have been completed and water is being transferred to the northern region. The west line project is still in the planning stage and construction has not started. 】

[As of March 2023, 3, the Danjiangkou Reservoir, as the starting point of the middle line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, has transferred a total of 22 billion cubic meters of water to the north. The water quality is excellent, benefiting 548.14 large and medium-sized cities and more than 24 counties and cities along the route, directly benefiting the population. Reaching more than 200 million people. 】

"How powerful is the South-to-North Water Diversion Project?" Let me tell you this! The South-to-North Water Diversion Project has solved the problem of water shortage in the northern region. The planned area has a population of 4.38 million. 》

"My country is awesome!" 》

"In the past five years, Beijing has received more than 52 billion cubic meters of water from the Danjiangkou Reservoir, directly benefiting more than 1200 million people in the city. 》

"Directly saved North China. At least in terms of water environment, North China was saved. 》

"Ten years ago, the North China Plain: Where there are rivers, all are dry, and where there is water, all are polluted." This is not an exaggeration, it is an implicit, low-key statement of the situation at that time. 》

Since the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was put into operation, it has been operating smoothly and the water supply has increased year by year. As of the 16th, the cumulative water diversion has exceeded 255 billion cubic meters, and the number of people directly benefiting from the project has exceeded 5859 million. 》

"The South-to-North Water Diversion Project will first solve the water shortage problem in the north and then increase the water resources carrying capacity. 》

"This is the real "Dayu's flood control"! 》

As pictures were released one after another about the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, when the final picture was fixed on the schematic diagram of the third line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the audience in Wanchao became excited.

I know that future generations are powerful, but who would have thought that they could come up with such an idea?

No, what’s more important is that later generations were able to turn this kind of fantasy idea into reality! South-to-North Water Diversion...

Just thinking about it makes you realize what an amazing miracle this is!

Big man.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che couldn't stand still when he saw the sky screen, and almost fell from the desk.

The scene in front of me was really too horrifying.

Although the previous Three Gorges Dam was equally shocking, it still seemed to be something that could be done by humans, but this South-to-North Water Diversion...

Isn’t it really a fantasy?
What an appalling masterpiece is this?
How expensive it would be in manpower and material resources to divert water from the south to the north for use!
But if you put these aside and look at the benefits, it is indeed a miracle project.

Blessing tens of millions of people, how immeasurable is this merit?

After a series of shocks, Emperor Wu Liu Che drooled with envy.

If the Han Dynasty still had some money left in the treasury, he would have to replicate the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

pity……

"Ugh!"

"What is strength?"

"The descendants of Yun Guoheng were destroyed by the weak, and the Han Dynasty was destroyed by the strong. I was so complacent before!"

"Today, when I see these creation projects of future generations, I know that my layout is insufficient!"

"Only in such a prosperous age can we be called powerful. Although I, a big man, have a vast territory, it is already riddled with holes!"

After sighing slowly, the middle-aged Emperor Wu of Han suddenly asked Wei Qing beside him softly.

And the latter was stagnant in place instantly!
"Wei Qing!"

"Do you think I should issue an edict to punish oneself?"

Liu Che really felt the differences between countries at this moment. Although he had been separated from later generations for more than two thousand years, this eternal emperor still had countless emotions in his heart.

Liu Che has realized an important fact. A truly powerful country has strong military force, but it must not only be strong in force.

How terrifying was the military strength of the Soviet Union in later generations? But still can't escape the fate of national subjugation!

After a short silence, Liu Che did not wait for Wei Qing's answer.

But Liu Che had already made up his mind. Even if he couldn't do such a big thing as the South-to-North Water Diversion, he would at least do something for the people of the Han Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, in the palace of Chang'an City, Taizong Li Shimin was no less emotional than Liu Che.

Even more than that.

Without him, the Tang Dynasty would be plagued by disasters. Locust plagues have occurred one after another since he came to the throne. As for droughts and floods, they have been a common occurrence since ancient times.

For Li Shimin, the Three Gorges Dam was enough to shock his world view, not to mention the South-to-North Water Diversion diagram displayed on the sky at this moment?

Of course, it is easy to see the political consciousness of Etaizong. This is a major event that benefits the people!

But it was also a difficult project that consumed a lot of national, financial, manpower and material resources. He could not imagine the overwhelming resistance such a project would encounter, let alone the perseverance that future generations would have to persevere.

Didn't the previous emperor build the canal, wasting money and wasting people's money, and the envious people were resentful, which led to the destruction of the country?
