China is a country known as the "infrastructure madman", whether it is about the construction of bridges or railway construction, China's strength is obvious to all.
It is precisely because of this that China has continuously improved its strength, and in recent years has also launched many projects that benefit the people of the country, such as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the West-to-East Gas Transmission Project.
In particular, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which is very difficult to build, has to pass through many provinces in China, and three routes have been planned through these three water diversion lines, through which the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Huaihe River are connected, so as to realize the overall layout of "four horizontal and three vertical".
Therefore, the construction of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is very difficult, and there are many elements to be taken into account, so the mainland has not yet completed this project.
In this context, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River have become highly valued by the people in recent years.
In this way, one day a few years ago, a netizen was surprised to find that a large pit more than 5 meters deep suddenly appeared under our Yellow River, and after hearing the news, many netizens couldn't sit still.
The Yellow River is known as the mother river of China, and there is such a big pit under it for no reason, how can this work? Could it be that someone deliberately destroyed our Yellow River?
Introduction of the Han Jiwei Project
With doubts about this matter, we finally understood the cause of this matter after a detailed understanding.
This big pit under the Yellow River is different from ordinary big pits, and its origin can be greatly explained, and if applied properly, it can even benefit China's 1.4 billion people.
This sudden big pit is actually a water conservancy project developed by China on the basis of the south-to-north water diversion project, called the Han-Jiwei Project.
Unlike other "famous" projects, this project is still relatively unfamiliar to many audiences, let's take a look at what it has to benefit China's 1.4 billion people.
The Han-Jiwei Project, also known as the "Southwest Shaanxi Water Diversion Project", is also a project built to solve the shortage of water sources in Shaanxi Province.
Everyone knows that Shaanxi is a province dominated by the Loess Plateau, and they are also a province with extremely scarce water sources, and the state officially launched this project in 2011 to relieve the pressure on water sources.
The water conservancy project was listed as one of the 172 major water conservancy projects identified by the State Council during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, with an investment of nearly 51.6 billion yuan, which can be completed in three phases.
The main construction content is composed of three parts: the Golden Gorge Water Conservancy Hub, the Sanhekou Water Conservancy Hub and the 98.3-kilometer Qinling Water Transmission Tunnel.
Among them, the Golden Gorge Water Conservancy Hub, as the source of this project, its main role is responsible for drawing water from the main stream of the Han River, while the Sanhekou Water Conservancy Hub is responsible for the water storage work in the middle section.
The last project is the focus of our project, and it is also the lifeblood of the entire project - the Qinling Water Transmission Tunnel.
It is responsible for connecting the Han River and the Wei River as a link, so as to establish the Golden Gorge Water Conservancy Hub and the Sanhekou Water Conservancy Hub with itself to form a large-scale three-way connection, so as to achieve the final purpose of this project.
However, as the focus of the entire project, the construction of the Qinling Water Transmission Tunnel is also the most difficult, and it took 8 years to complete the construction.
The reason why the construction of the Qinling water conveyance tunnel is difficult is that the geology of the Qinling Mountains is very complex, and the hard rock will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the overall project, and it is very easy to cause landslides in the construction process.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of construction personnel, the staff often have to endure high temperatures and wear heavy protective clothing to work.
From the above description, we can also see that the construction of this project is very difficult, and the problems to be overcome are also world-class difficulty.
However, China's engineers did not give up, China just wants to challenge the impossible again and again!
In order to complete this project, with the unremitting efforts of Chinese engineers, this project was finally officially completed this year.
The reason why this project is a "treasure" is because it can bring convenience to the Chinese people.
Since the project has been put into use, it is expected that the water transfer capacity can reach 1.5 billion cubic meters per year, and the affected water area will reach 14,000 square kilometers, which can also help solve the water problem in Xi'an, Xianyang, Weinan and other areas.
According to incomplete statistics, the beneficiaries of the project will reach more than 10 million people, and then 5 million people will be added to the city-scale water use, in addition, the water in the Wei River will also flow into the Yellow River on a large scale, which can reach 6-700 million cubic meters per year, which solves the problem of insufficient water sources in the north for China.
Successfully helping Chinese solve such a thorny water problem is not a treasure?
After seeing China's project, many countries sighed: What a envy!
The United States and Japan, in particular, reacted the most violently.
Infrastructure in the United States and Japan
As a country with rapid economic and technological development, the United States has a very strong background, but they also have obvious drawbacks, that is, the domestic infrastructure of the United States is relatively weak.
In addition to the city center of the United States, you can rarely see high-rise buildings in other areas, in addition, the United States is also relatively backward in terms of electricity, walking on the streets of the United States you can even see telephone poles made of wood.
Power outages are almost common in some parts of the United States, and infrastructure problems have obviously become a "big problem" in the United States for so many years.
Speaking of the second country we mentioned, which is Japan, since 1959, they have been in crazy infrastructure mode.
In the past, Japan's infrastructure strength was indeed obvious to everyone, and they had saved their decaying economy at home by relying on infrastructure, which shows that in the early stage of Japan's development, infrastructure did help them a lot.
However, according to statistics in recent years, Japan's once proud infrastructure has generally lagged behind.
At the beginning, Japan only focused on infrastructure, but did not take into account the economic factor, and once invested nearly the total military expenditure of the US military in the project of reclaiming lakes and land.
Japan has set its sights on infrastructure for the time being, but has not materially considered the specific consequences.
And in terms of infrastructure, Japan has also broken out a lot of scandals in recent years, the former Japanese giant Kobe Steel Company fraud, and then the construction of high-speed rail for the United Kingdom into a "water curtain hole" incident, and even, has been exposed to our Three Gorges Dam steel data falsification.
As a result, Japan's reputation in infrastructure has deteriorated greatly, and it is no longer as brilliant as before.
Therefore, the United States and Japan and other countries will sigh after seeing China's water conservancy projects: what a envy!
In fact, in addition to water conservancy projects, China has many big projects that have attracted worldwide attention, let's take a look at these highlight moments belonging to China.
China's infrastructure
When it comes to China's infrastructure, we have to mention a project, which is called the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which is called a world wonder.
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge starts at the Hong Kong Port and crosses the Lingding Ocean to the west, connecting Zhuhai and Macau in the middle, with a total length of 55 kilometers.
Perhaps the best part of this is the immersed tunnel known as the world's longest undersea highway, which is 5.6 kilometers long and buried 46 meters underneath.
How difficult the submarine construction project is, everyone can imagine, not only that, the immersed tube used in the construction of the submarine tunnel is also very heavy, the weight of an immersed tube is about 80,000 tons, and the 33 such immersed tubes used in this submarine tunnel are very amazing.
At that time, when China first decided to build the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, it was also questioned by many countries, but we just had to push the limits.
In the end, it took us 14 years and nearly 126.9 billion yuan to complete the project, and then the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge came into being, which brought unprecedented pride to China.
In addition to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, modern projects such as the Three Gorges Dam, the Sichuan-Tibet Railway, and the Water Cube are all wonders of the world.
China has come from "one poor and two white" to this point after the founding of New China, relying on ourselves, and facts tell us that only one step at a time can we reach the end.
end
Having said that, the reason why we call the project of introducing Han Jiwei a "treasure" is because the significance of its value can no longer be measured in money, after all, benefiting people's livelihood is the most important thing.
China has many projects aimed at benefiting the Chinese people in order to sustain China's development.
I believe that we in China will develop better and better in the future!
