This incident also shows a truth, that is, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!

After watching the film, the group boarded the sightseeing bus. According to Comrade Xiao Wang's reminder, Yang Jing and his group occupied the seats on the right side of the second floor of the bus. Just as they sat down and the bus hadn't started, a sound like thunder came from the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, but they could see nothing except a rising mist.

Xiao Wang smiled and said, "We are in for a treat this time. This sound must be the floodgate opening and the reservoir starting to release floodwater. Don't worry, the flood discharge will not be over in a short time. Let's take our time. When we get to the flood discharge channel, we will be able to see the spectacular scenery of the flood discharge."

The bus started up quickly and started to drive towards the hydropower station. The straight-line distance from here to the dam was nearly four kilometers.

However, the bus did not drive directly to the dam, but stopped at a group of buildings in the middle. Xiao Wang explained: "This is the first stop of the tour, because there is the Itaipu Ecological Museum. In the museum, you can see all the introductions about the Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Station, even the miniature generator sets. It's also nice to go in and take a look."

Since we are here, let's not say anything and just follow us. So the group took a long tour of the Ecological Museum, and combined with the information film they had seen before, Yang Jing and his friends had a deeper understanding of the Itaipu Dam.

After coming out of the museum, Gege pointed to a patch of grass on the bank of the Paraná River and shouted in surprise: "Look, what kind of animal is that? So cute..."

On the grass, an animal that was more than ten meters long and half a meter high was eating lazily, and a few little ones that were obviously cubs were following behind their mothers, moving cautiously.

These animals do look cute, really silly, no wonder Gege was overjoyed.

Comrade Xiao Wang took a look and said, "Sister-in-law, that is the capybara, a South American animal. But here this animal is a 'pig' that the locals raise in the water. It is one of the main sources of meat for the locals."

"Oh my! How can the locals bear to eat such a cute little animal?" Princess was a little angry.

Xiao Wang smiled and explained, "Sister-in-law, there is nothing we can do. Capybaras can be artificially bred in South America, just like raising pigs in our country. This animal has a good meat yield and tastes good. It has long been an important source of meat for the locals. We cannot change this situation."

Not long after the car drove forward, we saw the towering dam, and the bus stopped again. Xiao Wang said, "This is the designated first stop for taking photos. Here you can see the entire main dam."

When everyone got off the bus, they immediately saw a huge robot welded together with steel pipes. This robot, painted white, held a torch in its hand and seemed to be walking forward.

After taking some photos here, the car went up to the dam, but in the middle of the dam, the generator set of the hydroelectric power station was under the road.

Just now, the dam did not seem very high when viewed from a distance, but when you actually walk to the two-way four-lane road above the generator set, you can fully feel the grandeur of this dam.

The original huge double-decker sightseeing bus was like a little mouse facing an elephant in front of the dam. The most eye-catching thing on the dam is the twenty thick white water pipes, through which the water from the reservoir enters the turbine, which then drives the turbine to rotate and start generating electricity.

These twenty white pipes are so thick that a double-decker bus that is more than ten meters long is not even half the thickness of one pipe!

Twenty thick pipes are lined up in a row. People standing in front of these pipes look as small as an ant.

"Spectacular! It's really spectacular!" Although she couldn't get off the car, she could still feel the majestic aura of the dam even while sitting in the car. The princess was completely stunned.

After the bus passed the main dam, it actually returned from Brazil to Paraguay. Then the bus traveled a distance between the main dam and the flood gate, and finally arrived in front of the flood gate that was discharging flood water!
