In the past few days, counties and counties all over the country have been very lively. In order to make the rural examination go smoothly, all the heads of Guizhou and officials in Daqin have spontaneously cooperated. various things.

Three days passed in a flash, and Daqin's first provincial examination finally ushered in the results. All the test papers were sealed up again, and a large number of teachers have been recruited in the Daqin Academy, ready to grade the papers at any time.

The sealed test papers were personally escorted to Xianyang by the county guards from all over the country, and finally received by Xuanniaowei and sent to the Daqin Academy, and then these teachers cross-checked the papers.

After the marking is completed and the final results are obtained, the results will be sent to various places, and the students who have passed the rural examination will be listed.

……

On the other side, Zhao Che had already arrived in South County at this time, and called over the agricultural engineering team that had just finished building the railway.

"My lord, the project volume of the dam you mentioned is too large. If we rely on our ability, it may take at least decades for the construction to be completed."

At this time, Xu Yanzheng and Zhao Che of the farm family were standing on the edge of the surging Yangtze River.

Just now, Zhao Che gave Xu Yan a new order to build a dam in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and the scale was unheard of.

It's not that Xu Yan knows how to build dams, but building a dam on the Yangtze River, and a dam of such a large scale, is simply unthinkable for Xu Yan.

Such a huge amount of engineering is basically equal to the difficulty of building a Great Wall on the Yangtze River.

Decades is still a relatively conservative figure after Xu Yan's estimation. If Zhao Che's face was not concerned, Xu Yan would have said that this is an impossible task.

After all, the geographical location of the Yangtze River is also different. Building a dam on the water is not like building a dam on land. If there is a little carelessness or bad luck, the water level of the Yangtze River will rise, and even the projects built by people will be washed away. Walk.

Xu Yan didn't even understand why Zhao Che suddenly brought up such an idea. Didn't he know how difficult it is to build the dam he was talking about?
Faced with Xu Yan's question, Zhao Che shook his head. Of course he knew how difficult it is to build the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River.

As the largest hydropower station in the world in later generations, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam was the result of the efforts of countless people and more than ten years of construction.

Moreover, it was only built when various large-scale machinery and countless factories ensured sufficient logistics.

The Three Gorges Dam project, in the history of China, is the largest engineering project ever constructed, and it is even hailed as a miraculous existence.

The Three Gorges Project is located in the middle section of Xiling Gorge, and the location of the dam was chosen in Nanjun.

The specific engineering construction is mainly composed of three parts: the dam, the hydropower plant and the navigable building.

Fortunately, Daqin now has concrete, so the main construction material of the Three Gorges Dam can be solved.

The main body of the construction of the Three Gorges Dam is a concrete gravity dam. The designed total length of the dam crest is 3035 meters, and the height is 185 meters.

The capacity of the entire Three Gorges Reservoir has reached 393 billion cubic meters, of which the flood control storage capacity is 221.5 billion cubic meters.

And the benefits that such a huge project can bring are naturally self-evident. In a strategic sense, it can be called the Great Wall on Water.

The main function of the Three Gorges Dam is naturally to prevent floods.

The flow of the Yangtze River is turbulent. Every year when the rainy season comes, it is a very frightening day for the heads of Guizhou in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Once there is a heavy rain, the Yangtze River is very easy to break its embankment, and countless lands and towns will be submerged at that time.

Therefore, Daqin needs to spend a lot of money every year just to allocate funds to control the floods on the Yangtze River.

It would not be a problem for the current Daqin to just spend some money to deal with the disaster, but the key point is that the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have now become a very important food producing area for Daqin.

After the promotion of hybrid rice, it has now become the most important food crop in the southern region. Just like the disaster in the three counties this year, once there is a flood on the Yangtze River, the harvest of the Guizhou heads who have worked hard for a year will be lost. reduced to nothing.

If the construction of the Three Gorges Dam can be completed, the flood of the Yangtze River will no longer exist in the future. This is a vital part of the human effort to fight against natural disasters, and it is an unprecedented feat in human history.

"The Three Gorges Dam must be built, and it must be built meticulously. No matter how much manpower and material resources are spent, the Three Gorges Dam is not only a dam for our Daqin, but more importantly, it is also closely related to the rise of our Daqin! "

Zhao Che looked at the world of the Yangtze River in front of him, and said firmly.

The Three Gorges Dam, in addition to intercepting the flood of the Yangtze River, it is also the largest hydroelectric power station in the world.

The Great Qin has a vast land and abundant resources. It is obviously not an easy task to popularize electricity in such a vast land.

Therefore, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam is even more important. In the future, Daqin will popularize electricity. The Three Gorges Dam is definitely the most important power supply facility, and it is absolutely irreplaceable.

"Master Hou, why don't you discuss this matter with His Majesty?"

Xu Yan was a little hesitant. The construction of the Three Gorges Dam is too big. If this matter is really as important as Zhao Che said, it will be a major event that shocked the entire Qin Dynasty. It must be discussed with Fusu and all officials in the court. Decide.

With Zhao Che alone, it is definitely impossible to finalize such a huge project.

After all, the amount of money needed to build the Three Gorges Dam is an astronomical figure. Even if the Daqin treasury spends so much money, it is estimated that it will be exhausted.

"Don't worry, I have discussed this matter with my father a long time ago, and my father has already persuaded my brother. It is estimated that the imperial edict will be delivered in a few days."

Zhao Che waved his hand. Of course, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam was not on his whim. He had already told Ying Zheng about it from a very early age.

It's just that Daqin at that time had no ability and no technology, so the Three Gorges Dam project was naturally put on hold for the time being.

Now, with the application of internal combustion engines and petroleum, Daqin's demand for electric power applications has gradually increased, so the long-lost Three Gorges Dam project is naturally coming out.

After Zhao Che came out this time, he went straight to Nanjun, and of course he told Ying Zheng about it.

In the past few days, Fusu has been busy with the township examination, and he still doesn't know enough about the Three Gorges Project. He may have to wait a few days before he can finish discussing with the officials in the court and then make a plan.

Zhao Che called Xu Yan over just to let him know the details of the project in advance, so that after the finalization in Xianyang, the materials can be delivered and the construction can start at any time.
