Three days later, Wujiang Hydropower Group held a press conference to announce that it would invest heavily in the construction of the Wudongde Power Station, Baihetan Power Station, Xiluodu Power Station, and Xiangjiaba Power Station, forming four cascade power stations on the lower reaches of the Jinsha River.

All the reporters present were stunned.

If they were small hydropower stations, it wouldn't matter, but these four hydropower stations are simply too large in scale. They can rank among the top five in China. Among them, Wudongde Hydropower Station, Baihetan Hydropower Station, and Xiluodu Hydropower Station can even be ranked among the top ten hydropower stations in the world. Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station may be slightly smaller in scale, but it is still enough to rank eleventh in the world.

"I'm impressed. Zhao Ye is amazing. Calling him the 'King of Hydropower Stations' wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

"Haha, well-deserved! Including the Three Gorges Dam, Wujiang Hydropower Group alone has invested in five of the world's top ten hydropower stations. If he's not the 'Hydropower King,' who else deserves that title?!"

"With Wujiang Hydropower Group investing in the construction of so many amazing hydropower stations, the domestic power supply will no longer be as tight as it is now. Moreover, the hydropower stations can also play a role in flood control, navigation, water storage and irrigation, and environmental improvement! Once these hydropower stations are completed, they will benefit the present and future generations!!!" A local reporter said excitedly, clapping enthusiastically.

Clap clap clap!

The press conference was met with thunderous applause, as everyone was shocked and impressed by the massive investment by Wujiang Hydropower Group. Some foreign journalists even expressed envy and jealousy.

Their country doesn't have companies that are so keen on investing in hydropower stations, probably because the returns from hydropower stations are not a high-profit industry and the payback period is long.

Soon, news that Wujiang Hydropower Group had invested heavily in building four world-class hydropower stations became a trending topic online.

Countless Chinese netizens were amazed and expressed their anticipation.

At the same time, there was also a hint of pride.

Look how awesome China is! We're building so many world-class hydroelectric power stations! That's the true grandeur of a great power!

"Haha, as expected of Wujiang, you're truly amazing! If the rest of the world heard this, they'd be stunned! They don't even have a single hydroelectric power station that could rank among the world's top ten, while our country will have at least four in the future!!!"

"When I was a child, I always envied the more developed countries abroad, with their bustling traffic and towering buildings. But now I realize that the most awesome country is actually our own! We not only have the world's tallest skyscrapers, but we also have many world-class hydroelectric power stations!"

At this time, many foreign netizens finished reading the news.

The comments section was filled with words like "awesome," "unbelievable," "how is this possible," and "oh my god, this is insane."

Foreign netizens were incredibly envious and jealous.

Their country hasn't built a single large hydroelectric power station in over a decade or two.

At the press conference, Wujiang Hydropower Group also briefly introduced their independently developed large-scale hydro-generator, the "Water Dragon Generator," which boasts world-leading technology and breaks the foreign technological blockade against large-scale hydro-generators in China.

Each of the "Water Dragon" generators has a single power output of up to 1 million kilowatts, making it the world's highest single-unit power generation hydroelectric generator. In comparison, the Three Gorges Dam's generator has a maximum power output of only 700,000 kilowatts. The rotor of this giant hydroelectric generator alone weighs 3,000 tons, and the entire generator weighs over 10,000 tons. Its power generation capacity is terrifying. It can generate more than 170 kilowatt-hours of electricity with one rotation, and the energy it produces in 24 hours of operation is enough to power 500,000 people for a whole year.

Of course, there are also small-sized "water dragon" generators, which can be used according to actual needs.

Other hydropower projects in China have already purchased this "Water Dragon" generator from Wujiang Hydropower Group.

Wujiang Hydropower Group also wants to use the press conference to introduce the "Water Dragon" generator to the outside world and sell it all over the world.

Besides its advanced technology, the biggest feature of the [Water Dragon Generator] is its high quality and low price.

As everyone knows, Chinese-made products have low costs, giving them a strong price competitive advantage.

In fact, once the news of the "Water Dragon Generator" spread, it quickly attracted the attention of many countries.

Hydropower stations generally integrate functions such as power generation and flood control, and their role is much greater than that of thermal power plants. Therefore, most countries are willing to build hydropower stations as long as conditions permit.

Southeast Asian and South American countries have abundant water resources, but they lack both the technology and the money, so they rarely build hydroelectric power stations.

However, seeing how enthusiastic Wujiang Group was about investing in and building hydropower stations, they wondered why they couldn't invest with Wujiang Group in developing hydropower stations in their own country.

We provide the land and labor, while Wujiang Group provides the funds and technology. Isn't that a win-win situation?

Since mid-April, an increasing number of countries have sent invitations to Wujiang Group to invest in hydropower station projects.

Currently, Wujiang Group is sending people to conduct on-site inspections and market research. If suitable projects are found, they may consider investing.

...

Domestically, the Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, and Xiangjiaba power stations have already begun construction, and the projects are progressing rapidly.

Nearly 20,000 people participated in the construction of the Baihetan Power Station alone.

Not far from the construction site, many reporters and experts were excited as they watched the bustling construction site.

"The six cascade hydropower stations of Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Three Gorges, and Gezhouba form the world's largest clean energy corridor, which is something that makes us Chinese people proud!!!" an old professor said excitedly, his face full of anticipation.
