Rebirth in 1984: Beginning with Han Card Development

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...

Chapter 385 Construction Begins on the Red Flag River

The speed at which the Hongqi River project was launched is astonishing.

However, this project was actually proposed a long time ago, and experts have conducted long-term research on it and put forward many solutions.

The biggest challenge of the Hongqi River project is its enormous cost, which is why the government has not initiated the project until now.

With the support of Wujiang Group, the Hongqi River project was quickly approved.

In order to accelerate the development of the Hongqi River project, Wujiang Group and the government's expert group decided to mobilize a million workers to excavate multiple sections simultaneously along the more than 6,000-kilometer route of the Hongqi River!

At 10:10 a.m. on October 10, 2010, amidst the attention and celebration of the people across the country, the Hongqi River Project officially commenced!

This is a water diversion loop that runs along the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into Xinjiang and delivers water to water-scarce areas such as Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang. It is about 6,100 kilometers long, almost the same length as the Yangtze River. The estimated annual water diversion volume is 60 billion cubic meters, equivalent to the annual runoff of the Yellow River. It is envisioned to create an oasis of 200,000 square kilometers in northern China, equivalent to the size of a province like Sichuan.

Once completed, the Hongqi River project will transform China's ecological landscape, attract 100 million migrants to the Northwest, benefit the nation, and contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the realization of the Chinese Dream!

At this very moment, as they watched the live broadcast of the official commencement of the Hongqi River project, countless Chinese people were moved to tears!

Even Zhao Ye couldn't help but feel emotional, dreaming of one day seeing a rushing river of life flowing through Northwest China.

Despite the enormous investment Wujiang Group made in developing the Hongqi River project, and the opposition from many within the group, Zhao Ye went ahead without hesitation or regret.

He has no shortage of money; he could spend it all in hundreds of lifetimes.

Why not use this money to do something meaningful?

At this moment, Zhao Ye was genuinely happy, as if he had found the meaning of his existence on the path of life.

The internet is filled with celebratory messages.

"My God! The Red Flag River Project has really started! It's an unprecedented feat!!! Compared to this, all other water conservancy projects in the world are insignificant!"

"If we don't do it, our descendants will! Wujiang Group took the lead in building the Red Flag River, and its achievements will be remembered for generations to come!"

"I'm already in tears, my heart is filled with overwhelming emotion, I can't contain myself!"

"Long live the nation! May our motherland prosper and become strong, and may the Chinese nation realize its great rejuvenation dream soon!!!"

"..."

The live television broadcast kept changing, showing hundreds of construction sites along the Hongqi River project route. The spectacular scenes were truly awe-inspiring.

At this time, many foreign media outlets and foreign netizens were also watching the live broadcast.

The aerial footage shows a terrifying sight: millions of workers, densely packed together.

Foreigners had never seen anything like this before; every single one of them was utterly dumbfounded!

"Oh my God! How many Chinese workers are building this Red Flag River? The number is outrageous! The Chinese are amazing! Our country would never be so united!"

"Just the fact that China mobilized so many workers demonstrates the Chinese people's determination to build the Red Flag River! China is truly a magical and great country with amazing courage and vision. In order to solve the water shortage problem in Northwest China, it spared no effort to use countless financial and human resources to build a water conservancy project that is more than 6,000 miles long. It is truly admirable!"

"I'm so envious of China for having such a powerful and prosperous country! I want to immigrate to China too!"

"..."

The commencement of the Hongqi River project has once again brought China international renown.

Foreigners are extremely envious.

In this era, many foreigners have chosen to immigrate to China. Initially, the largest number of immigrants were from the former Soviet Union. Later, China's economy developed rapidly, and its GDP surpassed that of the United States, leading to a surge in foreigners choosing to immigrate to China.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of foreigners living in China is as high as 12.5 million.

Among them, nearly one million foreigners have obtained Chinese citizenship!

The number of international students in China is as high as 500,000.

These data all demonstrate just how attractive China is to foreigners!

Furthermore, with the official commencement of the Hongqi River project, China's development speed began to soar like a rocket, benefiting all sectors of society.

Wujiang Group is undoubtedly one of the biggest beneficiaries of China's rapid economic development.

Wujiang Group's revenue has increased significantly in sectors such as new energy, artificial intelligence, digital economy, semiconductors, finance, education and healthcare, tourism, telecommunications, and real estate.

Especially in the new energy vehicle sector, Tiangong Technology Co., Ltd. accounts for almost 75% of the global new energy vehicle market, making it a leader and a dominant player!

In China, traditional gasoline-powered cars are finding it very difficult to sell, with annual sales of less than 10 million units. This figure is extremely alarming, representing a year-on-year decline of about 66% in traditional car sales.

Internationally, new energy vehicles are also developing rapidly, with many major cities in various countries building charging stations and charging piles.

The development trend of new energy vehicles is unstoppable.

With the explosive growth of new energy vehicles, China's dependence on oil has gradually decreased. Although China still imports oil, most of it is stockpiled for unforeseen circumstances.

International crude oil prices have been falling since last year, and have now dropped to $50 per barrel.
