Start with 10,000 pigs

Lei Ziqing was indeed confident and immediately explained without any timidity.。

“The Tamu Basin is very large, almost equivalent to the area of a Gallic chicken. It was originally a lake formed after the collision of continental plates. Later, because there was no water source, it gradually dried up and became the largest basin in China. desert!”

“Therefore, it is feasible to introduce water into the Tamu Basin to improve the local climate environment, because it is a lake that is short of water.。”

“However, the Tamu Basin is very large and can form a lake of at least 330,000 square kilometers. By then, this lake may be the second largest lake in the world after the Caspian Sea; and if the Tamu Basin is to be filled with water, it will be At that time, the lake area may exceed 400,000 square kilometers, even surpassing the Caspian Sea to become the largest in the world!”

“This also means that the Tamu Basin can hold a lot of water, but it also lacks a lot of water! It would take at least a hundred years to divert water from the Yarlung River to Xinjiang through the ‘Tibetan Water Into Xinjiang’ project. It would not be possible to desalinize all the water from the West Sea, which would require at least 80 volumes of water from the West Sea to meet the needs of Tamu. Basin needs!”

The second elder listened and nodded without interrupting, waiting for Lei Ziqing’s next words.。

“Therefore, we need to find enough new water sources outside the Western Sea!”

Lei Ziqing did not stop, and continued to explain in one breath, moving his hand north on the map from the West Sea to the North Sea: “Here is the new water source I am looking for!”

“How to say? You have to know that even the water in the North Sea is not enough to fill the Tamu Basin, and that is the territory of the woolly bear; there is also the altitude issue involved, how do you solve it?”

The second elder couldn’t help but ask, “Diverting water from the North Sea is something that many people have considered, but it doesn’t work.”。

The first thing to face is the altitude issue!

As mentioned before, the Tamu Basin is surrounded by high-altitude mountains and plateaus, with an average altitude of more than two thousand meters; on the West Sea side, the altitude reaches 3,200 meters, and on the Beihai side The altitude is only over a thousand meters。

Whether it is Tamu Basin or Xihai Lake, the water from the North Sea cannot be transferred. Because of the existence of gravity, it is impossible for the water to flow to higher places!

“groundwater!”

Lei Ziqing spoke concisely and said: “The water source of the West Sea is mainly surface river water, followed by spring water and precipitation from underground. It can be determined that there is an underground water system underground!”

“On the other side of the North Sea, no obvious water source has been found on the surface, and more likely it comes from underground. We have enough reasons to believe that there are well-developed and abundant underground water veins buried under the North Sea, but no one has really gone deep into it before. Just looking for it!”

The world’s fresh water is less than 3%, and the fresh water that can be used on the surface is only 0.3% of the total fresh water. More than 99% of the fresh water is groundwater buried deep underground!

Therefore, compared with the major river basins on the surface, the undercurrent of the groundwater system under the land is undoubtedly more complex and larger!

“You mean, connected to the underground water system?”

The second elder heard the message and knew what it meant. Lei Ziqing said that he was right, and he basically guessed Lei Ziqing’s true thoughts.。

“That’s right, since we can’t cross the altitude gap on the surface, we will connect the underground water systems that exist in the North Sea and the West Sea, so that the water flows of the two can

be connected! When the time comes, when we use the water from the West Sea, the water from the North Sea will be automatically replenished, similar to a connector!”

“I remember the basic principle of the connector is that the liquid level heights on both sides should be kept equal, right?”

“To be precise, when the pressure is equal, the liquid level height of the connector remains the same; but the problem is that the West Sea is a high-altitude area, and the pressure is different from the North Sea!”

“Because of the altitude difference, water on the surface cannot overcome gravity and cannot flow to higher places; but underground water is isolated from the outside world in the underground space. There is a difference in air pressure, and the pressure generated by the air pressure is enough to overcome gravity. At that time, it will be like a fountain, gushing the groundwater flowing from the North Sea to the ground on the West Sea!”

bang bang~

The second elder listened and couldn’t help but applaud. Lei Ziqing’s idea was very bold and novel. It was thought-provoking and allowed him to see a certain feasibility.。

However, feasibility is just feasibility. In order to truly turn it into reality, the problems faced cannot be ignored.。

“Groundwater systems generally go thousands of meters underground, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter. How can they be connected?”

“The Beihai side belongs to Mao Xiong. How can you get them to agree to this? We can’t tear down the east wall to repair the west wall and destroy the environment over there in Beihai, right?”

With doubts and questions in his mind, the second elder asked。

“Don’t worry about this, you always forget that in addition to Qingyuan film, we also have impact machines! ” Lei Ziqing said confidently。

It is indeed not easy to connect the groundwater system thousands of meters underground, but it is not impossible with today’s technology, it just requires spending money.。

The impact machine developed before can come in handy at this time, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of channel excavation. The straight-line distance from the North Sea to the West Sea is about 2,500 kilometers, and the underground connecting channels that really need to be excavated are It is estimated to be around 2,000 kilometers。

With the efficiency of each impact machine exceeding 80 meters per hour, it can tunnel 400 meters in five hours a day without failure.。

If ten impact machines work at the same time, they can dig 4,000 meters, or four kilometers, in one day. In total, two thousand kilometers, or five hundred days, can be penetrated in less than two years.。

But if there are hundreds of impact machines working at the same time, it will not take more than two months!

And one impact machine costs only 80 million, and one hundred units only costs 8 billion. There is no pressure on Lei Ziqing!

As for the problem on the North Sea, Lei Ziqing also has a way to find a new water source, which is the Arctic Ocean further north, which is a real ocean!

Lei Ziqing’s complete plan can be summed up into three stages!

First, dig a channel from the West Sea to the Tamu Basin, and introduce the fresh water desalinated by the Qingyuan membrane in the West Sea into the Tamu Basin!

The second step is to connect the underground water systems of the North Sea and the West Sea, use the North Sea as the water source of the West Sea, and use enough water to make up for the water loss of the West Sea itself.。

The third step is to dig a canal from the Arctic Ocean to the North Sea, and then use Qingyuan membrane to desalinate the seawater in the Arctic Ocean, so that the desalinated seawater can continuously flow into the North Sea to make up for the water loss in the North Sea.。

In short, this is a process of finding water sources, connecting to water sources, and then finding water sources again!
