At 8 o'clock in the evening, after a daytime high-speed journey across the three provinces, Yichang, Hubei arrived. The night is the perfect time to get rid of the other party's surveillance and tracking, so it is destined to be unable to stay in a star-rated hotel in the city to take a bath and rest.

However, these are not problems for the Taoist priests. They have recovered after sleeping for a day and are of course eating chicken for dinner.

Looking along the river, the brightly lit Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project is like a brilliant city in the river that stretches across the central island of the Yangtze River.

Su Su sighed: "This is the first large hydropower station built by China in 1971 and completed in 1988. It is also the world's largest low-head hydropower station. It is a well-deserved miracle. If it is used for a longer period of time and after decades, it will definitely have an unthinkable miracle attribute. The role it plays is too great, and there are almost no side effects. The effective utilization rate is almost 100%. In terms of utilization rate, it is completely incomparable to other famous American Hoover Dam in the world and the Aswan Dam in Egypt."

The Taoist priests and Xiao Zhou smiled and said, "Please ask for popular science by Su Zhenren (Goddess)!"

Su Su smiled and said, "First, China was carrying out the third-tier project at that time, that is, the defense war, copied all the heavy industries in the coastal areas into the mainland, which created a huge power gap. The construction of this hydropower station is imperative, and it played a huge role from the perspective of central and western development or national defense."

The Taoist priests nodded: "It makes sense."

Xiao Zhou was confused: "I don't know what the junior third line is."

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "Where did your tour guide Dayu's flood come from? Isn't it very easy?"

Xiao Zhou said ashamed: "After all, it is the business of local tour guides. I only learn local test points, and those from other places don't understand it at all."

Su Su smiled and said, "If you really memorize all the so-called tour guides at other places, you will be as amazing as me."

Xiao Zhou said excitedly: "The goddess is a god, I will definitely work hard to be a national tour guide."

Su Su smiled and said, "Then it's the second, broadening and unblocking the waterway. After passing Yichang, it will be the Three Gorges. That is, the Shu Road is difficult to climb to the blue sky. In ancient times, the upward marching ships had to pull the fibers. The water current was not something that could be imagined by the high gorges that are coming out of Pinghu today. Before the dam was built, the annual transportation volume was only a few million tons, and after it was built, it soared by more than ten times. After all, the Yangtze River itself has shipping value. There are too many large, medium and small cities along the Yangtze River. All these cities were upgraded once the Yangtze River was connected. This is incomparable to the Nile River where the Aswan Dam is located."

Xiao Zhou said in surprise: "The Nile River is the longest river in the world, and its shipping value is not low?"

Su Su smiled and said, "Look at the map of Africa, the upper reaches of the Nile River is the unfriendly country of Egypt, Sudan, and guess what will happen. China's advantage is that it is big, and it only enjoys a Yangtze River. Although the Nile River is big, it has been intercepted by other countries along the line, so it is still not very pleasant to have it here. Then, Africa is too poor and has no industry. The dams built can only be irrigated, flood control, and utilization rate is much lower. Not to mention that after the construction of Aswan Dam, a large amount of downstream land was salinized and fertilized, and the siltation of the waterway was severely problematic. This is all due to negative scores and negative reviews."

Xiao Zhou asked, "Where is the Hoover Dam?"

Su Su smiled and said, "The Colorado River in the United States, where the Hoover Dam is located, cannot be compared with the Yangtze River. It is located in the underdeveloped western mountainous area of ​​the United States, and there are few cities along the route. By the way, the American casino Las Vegas was born because of the power supply from the Hoover Dam. I don't know whether the appearance of this decadent freak city is the achievements of the dam or the stain."
