What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
“Build a dam in the Bohai Sea? Hmm, I think that’s a good idea, we can do it!” Zhao Ye nodded in agreement.
Liu Yinyin was not surprised and immediately said, "Chairman Zhao, I heard that officials from Shandong and Liaoning are discussing the construction of the Bohai Dam. I think they will come to ask us about it soon."
Zhao Ye nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and instructed, "Once the Bohai Dam is completed, China will have a huge freshwater lake, which is of great significance. So, if they ask for our opinion, reply...we do indeed have such a plan!!!"
“Okay, Chairman Zhao!” Liu Yinyin nodded in response.
After Liu Yinyin left, Zhao Ye checked his phone and started browsing online to read comments from netizens…
In fact, Zhao Ye received a call directly from Beijing that evening.
Zhao Ye stated his position directly. After reading many comments from netizens, he became even more determined.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and the construction of the Bohai Dam is no exception. However, in the long run, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages!
In fact, Beijing is also very interested in building the Bohai Dam. Zhao Ye has reached a basic consensus with the government: the Bohai Dam can be built!
Later, the government will send a team of experts to assist Wujiang Group in studying the construction of the Bohai Dam.
The next day.
The controversy surrounding Zhao Ye's praise of the Bohai Dam has not subsided but has instead intensified, sparking nationwide discussion.
Around 10 a.m., Zhao Ye updated his Weibo with a message saying: "I have some good news to announce! The Bohai Dam project is on the agenda. Wujiang Group has reached a cooperation agreement with the government, and an expert group will soon begin studying the Bohai Dam project..."
This news quickly rose to the top of the trending topics across the entire internet!
Netizens were extremely excited and could hardly contain their emotions!
As a Chinese person, seeing how powerful our motherland is, that it is going to build a world-class freshwater lake, don't you feel proud and honored?
This prosperous era is just as you wished!
The construction of the Bohai Dam not only demonstrates China's strength but also benefits future generations, marking the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
"I'm so excited, I almost cried! With the improvement of our national strength, we even dare to build a monumental project like the Bohai Dam. It's truly amazing!"
"This is the mark of a strong nation! Today, China stands at the pinnacle of the world!"
"Holy crap, that's exhilarating! In short: Awesome!!!"
"Haha, foreigners must be so envious! This must be another fake news..."
"I'm asking you, who else?!"
"I'm so damn excited! I have no regrets about being born Chinese in this life, and I'll be Chinese again in the next!"
"..."
The entire nation was in shock!
The Bohai Dam has become a focus of intense public attention.
Of course, the news quickly spread overseas as well.
Foreign netizens were shocked and found it unbelievable.
"Oh my God, how is this possible?! The Chinese are absolutely insane, actually planning to build a dam in the Bohai Strait! The closest point in the Bohai Strait is about 100 kilometers away!!!" The foreigner was stunned.
After studying the Bohai Dam project, some scholars were all astonished.
The Bohai Dam is 100 meters wide (150 meters at the base). The Bohai Sea has an average depth of about 18 meters, and the total volume of earthwork is approximately 225 million cubic meters. If the foundation is reinforced at the bottom, the total volume of earthwork could exceed 300 million tons. Assuming 3 tons of rock per cubic meter, that's roughly 900 million tons!
900 million tons! Foreigners simply can't believe it.
However, completing this project is not impossible. China is globally recognized as an "infrastructure powerhouse" and possesses a formidable capacity for land reclamation.
In fact, the Bohai Dam is also a practical application of the country's sand-dredging and land reclamation technology.
As is well known, NSQD has belonged to China since ancient times. In order to maintain the rule and development of NSQD, many small islands and reefs can be transformed into large islands through sand dredging and land reclamation.
The foreigners were shocked, but also incredibly envious.
Indian netizens often compare India to China, believing that India is more powerful than China.
When the Bohai Dam project was announced, many Indian netizens called on the Indian government to develop a similar project to suppress the Bohai Dam project.
One Indian netizen commented, "We can turn the Bay of Kempard on India's west coast into an inland freshwater lake for India, and build a Bay of Kempard Dam that is even more magnificent than the Bohai Dam in China!!!"
Goodness, that explains why Indian netizens love to fantasize and daydream!
The idea immediately garnered support from countless Indian netizens, creating a huge buzz.
Indians are extremely optimistic and confident.
However, the whole world seemed to be watching the joke.
Do you think you, India, can build such a monumental project?
One Chinese netizen sarcastically commented: "Since you Indians are so powerful, why don't you just build a dam to enclose the Bay of Bengal and turn it into your inland sea! Your land area would increase by 2.172 million square kilometers! Moreover, according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the territorial sea extends 12 nautical miles, so this would further increase your territorial sea area! Wouldn't you Indians be incredibly arrogant then!"
...
Zhao Ye is decisive and efficient, and the Bohai Dam project is progressing rapidly, striving to start construction as soon as possible.
Land prices in the Bohai Rim Economic Circle region have suddenly skyrocketed!
Everyone knows that these places will become hugely promising with the construction of the Bohai Dam.
