Next, Zhao Ye discussed the issue of seawater desalination at the Bohai Dam.
He stated that he would take 10 years to transform the Bohai Sea into a freshwater lake.
Although it sounds like a fantasy, people believe Zhao Ye without a doubt because he is a man who keeps creating miracles.
...
The beginning of the new year.
After the Bohai Dam opened to traffic, the daily traffic volume exceeded 100,000.
The number of tourists visiting the Bohai Dam every day exceeds 300,000.
Just walking along the pedestrian walkway of the Bohai Dam and enjoying the beautiful and magnificent sea view makes the trip worthwhile.
In addition, due to the immense popularity of the Bohai Dam, at least tens of thousands of online celebrities from all over the country come here every day to take photos or conduct live broadcasts.
At the same time, Butterfly Island also began comprehensive commercial development. Major international architectural design firms sent their best talents to participate in the design and development of Butterfly Island, determined to make the two Butterfly Islands a tourist resort paradise in China!
Half seawater, half freshwater.
Experience a different feeling.
It's not hard to see that the Butterfly Island project has become Wujiang Group's next cash cow, making people envious and jealous.
Even now, many people are still astonished that Wujiang Group spent two or three hundred billion RMB to build the Bohai Dam, and now they want to make it back.
In fact, many people have done the math and found that Wujiang Group made a huge profit. The construction cost of the Bohai Dam was not that high at all. The main cost of the Bohai Dam was sand dredging and land reclamation, but the machinery was developed by its own subsidiary, the fuel was also provided by its own subsidiary, and most of the building materials were also purchased from its own company.
The money was merely transferred from one hand to the other; Wujiang Group, on the contrary, used the construction of the Bohai Dam to develop and accumulate many advanced technologies. The emergence of the "Tiankun" dredger is a national treasure, highly valued by the state. To develop the South China Sea, the government placed an order with Wujiang Shipbuilding Industry Company for over a hundred "Tiankun" dredgers, each costing 500 million yuan, with a net profit of 100 million yuan. But the high price is justified; its sand-dredging and land reclamation speed is unparalleled.
Some countries, including Japan, South Korea, Europe, and the United States, were willing to offer $500 million to buy the "Tiankun" dredger. However, due to the advanced technology of the "Tiankun" dredger, the country even included it in the list of prohibited exports.
After the Bohai Dam was completed, some of the "Tiankun" dredgers immediately moved to the South China Sea, but a few "Tiankun" dredgers went to the Yellow River to clean up the silt.
The power of the "Tiankun" dredger will be used to manage the Yellow River by dredging and excavating.
The "Tiankun" was indeed a powerful tool. It quickly demonstrated its capabilities on the Yellow River, dredging sand to lower the riverbed elevation, clearing the waterway, and maintaining a certain water depth to facilitate navigation.
For thousands of years, the Yellow River floods have threatened the lives and property of the people.
Managing the Yellow River became a top priority for every generation of rulers.
Finally, we have the magic weapon to control the Yellow River.
Of course, dredging the river channel is not a fundamental solution. Decades later, the Yellow River suffered severe soil erosion, and the accumulation of silt caused the riverbed to rise continuously, which in turn triggered floods again.
Wujiang Group has made great efforts in controlling soil erosion in the Yellow River, including planting grass and trees in the middle and upper reaches, returning sloping farmland to forest and pasture, preventing soil and rocks from eroding the slopes, and ensuring a continuous flow of clear water.
The state has also implemented a series of key national water and soil conservation projects, which have yielded very good results.
