The first thousand five hundred and thirty-six chapters flood the Yellow River
More than 200 kilometers west of Baotou, the first bend of the huge several-shaped figure of the Yellow River is where the water injection area of the north-south water diversion project is. Baotou is currently the largest city in China and the largest city. The introduction of the Yellow River will not be in Baotou. It is before Baotou. It ensures the water use in Baotou and to a certain extent, it will safely increase the water volume in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River cannot be compared with the Yangtze River because the surface runoff is not as high as the Yangtze River. One is 1,000 cubic kilometers and the other is only 66, which is more than ten times different. Therefore, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are a land of fish and rice. However, the lower reaches of the Yellow River have always been relatively tight to the future. When industrialization has developed to a certain extent, water resources are not enough. Industry has very high requirements for water, especially heavy industry. Even though Yang Yuanzhao has been working hard to reduce energy consumption and water consumption, it is not easy for science and technology to do this in this era.
Now, the Beijing-Tianjin-Shandong region is not the most elite region in China, but it is also quite good. North China has a large amount of farmland and resources. Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao, these cities have quite strong foundations, not to mention the entire Bohai Bay, which is China's shipbuilding base. After protecting both sides of the Bohai Bay with super-batteries, the Bohai Sea has almost become a safe inland sea. There is no need to build a ship base in the depths of the river like the United States. The huge coastline here can be used as a shipbuilding base everywhere.
A huge water conservancy hub has been built on the bank of the Yellow River. This is a huge artificial lake formed by excavation. It has a diameter of 3 kilometers and a depth of 275 meters. In terms of size, this artificial lake is not large. Some larger gardens in later generations will surpass it. However, in terms of depth, it is absolutely terrible. Natural lakes can reach a depth of dozens of meters, and it is still gradual. However, here, countless construction machinery are directly used to operate 2 billion cubic meters of earthwork. If China had not had large construction machinery such as bulldozers and excavators, it would be impossible to dig such a huge artificial lake from several aspects. This lake can store 2 cubic kilometers of water and is the most suitable for transit for the Yellow River and the north-south water diversion projects.
The water injection work is already continuing. Even if the water from the distant Lake Baikal has been lifted and irrigated to the Mongolian Plateau, the Loess Plateau itself is also a plateau. The gap between the two sides is not large. In order to save energy, as long as the water injected can continue, the irrigation will no longer be lifted and irrigated. In this case, the water flow rate is not too fast, but 2 cubic kilometers, the water volume is equivalent to 2 billion cubic meters. This water volume is very large, almost one-thirty of the total water volume of the entire Yellow River. It takes time to fill it up, and only about half of the time it takes for a full month. This is also the injected water, one-seventh of the water in the Yellow River will gradually inject into the Yellow River.
On the other end, the sluice is also slowly opening, and the contact with the Yellow River has been completed. I think now, the water injection, according to the flow rate of the early sluice, the amount of water of 100 billion cubic meters will be divided into 300 days of injection, about 300 million cubic meters per day, but 300 million at one time is too much. At the beginning, it will decrease to 50 million. With the passage of time, it will gradually increase until the Yellow River adapts, and will continue to increase the amount of water injected into the Yellow River, fundamentally changing the state of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River is a huge river basin. As long as sufficient water is injected, all areas downstream will benefit. China's farmland uses large farming farms and a large number of canals are infrastructure construction. These will gradually fill up in the future as branches and branches. Even the rational use of the Yellow River water will allow the maximum amount of Yellow River water to be intercepted and used for agricultural and industrial production to prevent a large amount of water from being injected into the sea in vain. This is a waste.
The water injection ceremony was attended by Yang Yuanzhao himself. Seeing such a huge project spanning the entire northern China, even the root irrigation system that had received a notice had been completely completed. In just two months, the grassland area of the entire Inner Mongolia increased by 30. This is not a small number. This represents the recovery of the ecology of the Mongolian grassland. Such a huge increase will directly change the environment of the region. In addition to the increased grassland, the prosperity of the original grassland is also increasing, which is all caused by the increase in water.
In large-scale breeding centers, large number of cattle, sheep and horses are distributed throughout the grassland society. Although modern warfare, with the emergence of thermal weapons and automatic weapons, the role of cavalry has been reduced to the minimum level, it is still possible to breed some horses. China has even begun to cultivate certain blood horses in advance to prepare for the future.
The emergence of plants has become the best wealth. It can make the natural environment better and bring stronger accumulation, especially in the most scientific breeding methods. Since 1912, Mongolia's livestock output has been increasing continuously. I believe that when the data of this year is finally summarized, there will be a larger increase. However, this year is a little late. Because of the injection of a large amount of water, the situation of the grasslands in Mongolia has caused immediate changes. The Animal Husbandry Bureau can detect the increase in this part of the grasslands through reconnaissance aircraft, but it is impossible to arrange an increase in livestock immediately. It can only fine-tune on the original basis. However, next year will be much better. The increased grassland area will be directly reflected in the production of livestock.
The entire water transfer ceremony was very grand. Because of the emergence of Yang Yuanzhao, most senior officials in China, even Liu Shu, came to participate. After all, he is the Premier of the State Council. These people who are related to people's livelihood are all under his jurisdiction. As a person who knows the sufferings of the bottom and even knows some agriculture, he is very clear about the significance of the north-south water transfer. Before it has penetrated into the Yellow River, it has changed the environment of the entire Mongolia. Water is the source of life. This sentence is indeed true. Baotou's relatively weak water volume, even close to the Yellow River, cannot fully meet the needs of industrial and agricultural production. The amount of water irrigated land is less than 10%. As long as the water from Lake Baikal is injected, the number will definitely increase significantly.
Liu Shu came, and as long as the other governments were involved in water, there were several military generals. They had nothing to do with water, but because Yang Yuanzhao came, most of the top leaders of the Chinese government were concentrated on the banks of the Yellow River, but those who could go up to cut the ribbon were Yang Yuanzhao and Liu Shu. They had never been very concerned about formalism. After coming, they seized the time and cut the ribbon. There was no half an hour before and after they cut the ribbon. After the two of them cut the ribbon, the water injection began. The injection of a large amount of water caused the water surface of the Yellow River to rise. Previously, due to widening and deep digging, the water surface of the Yellow River was declining. Now it has gradually reached a normal level, and then gradually increased. The reinforced dam blocked the external water flow. The water from the distant Lake Baikal swirled on the dam and then flowed down happily.
The first batch of water flowed over the Yellow River, over Baotou, and went downward, according to the Yellow River flow rate of 1.5 meters per second, the average is about 5 kilometers per hour. After a few hundred hours, this batch of water can flow from the Baotou part of the Yellow River to the downstream, but more water is added, and the speed is slightly increased. As long as the water volume increases, the entire Yellow River Basin in China will become a paradise in the future.
The biggest change is Mongolia. The characteristic of grass is that it is easy to grow and can grow anywhere. As long as there is water, even grass seeds in arid places can survive for a long time and will be emitted when rain occurs. In a river, a small sand island is artificially formed. There is no need to arrange it. If it does not take more than half a month, grass will occupy the sand island. This is the grassland. As long as there is water, it can grow. In aerial photos, it is clearly displayed. In just half a month, a series of grasslands appeared in the empty and dry wastelands that were previously empty and dry, and some specially distributed Sanbei shelterbelts also began to be lush. After all, lack of water and full of water, this is completely different.
The environment has changed, and even the surrounding feeling has been different. The grass has fallen down, and the growth of trees is accelerating. Various trees planted in northwestern China have also received abundant water. They are no longer living tenaciously, but are full of vitality.
In 7 years, with Yang Yuanzhao's promotion and the hard work of the workers, fruitful results have been produced, and the forest coverage rate has increased year by year. According to the data from China's thorough census in 1911, including the intelligence department. For the assessment of unoccupied areas, the forest coverage rate on China's original territory is about 27.6, which does not include Mongolia.
After Mongolia recovered, China's territory increased by one-sixth, but the forest coverage rate decreased by one-seventh. After all, Mongolia is also a large-scale grassland area, with forest coverage very low, and there are a large number of deserts, etc. At this time, the forest coverage rate was reduced to the left and the planting gap was quite large. In order to plant trees, China invested a huge amount. In the following year, China's average construction of protective forests in the past 100,000 square kilometers was equivalent to an increase of less than 1 year. Especially after the war, the increase was still increasing. Especially after the north-south water transfer project began, the desert areas had water and irrigation systems, which made the forests begin to appear more vigorously. In the past, only drought-tolerant trees were planted, but now some evergreen trees, even economic trees, can also take root in Mongolia and the northwest, and completely change the northwest environment. To be continued.
