I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

[Video continues. ]

[Since the Three Gorges Dam is so important. ]

[What if a war breaks out and the enemy bombs it? ]

[Can the dam withstand missile bombing? ]

[If the dam is really destroyed, what terrible consequences will it bring? ]

[First of all, the Three Gorges Dam is the largest hydropower station in the history of my country, the world, and mankind. The annual power generation alone exceeds 100 billion kilowatt-hours, and it has an immeasurable huge effect on flood control and shipping. ].

[It is no exaggeration to say that the Three Gorges Dam is a century project for mankind. ]

[If the situation changes, it will definitely become one of the enemy's key strategic targets for attack. ]

[Once it is really destroyed, it will also cause extremely terrible consequences. ]

[First of all, the first and most serious consequence is that the Yangtze River coast will be flooded. 】

[No matter in ancient or modern history, the Yangtze River has experienced many major floods. 】

[For example, in 1931, a rare and severe flood broke out in the Jianghuai region, Gaoyou Dam was destroyed by the flood, 150,000 people were drowned, 2 million people were directly affected, and the number of victims was as high as 60 million. 】

[This is only the most influential flood in the Yangtze River. 】

[Since the beginning of historical records, the Yangtze River has experienced countless large and small floods. 】

[At that time, due to the absence of dams, floods were actually uncontrollable, and the people along the coast suffered greatly. 】

[However, with the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, everything has turned around. The dam can withstand the once-in-a-century flood, store water in the flood season, and release water in the dry season. 】

[It has greatly reduced the pressure on flood control downstream. 】

[It is no exaggeration to say that compared with the function of the dam to regulate the water volume of the Yangtze River, power generation is secondary. 】

[After all, if the Yangtze River coast can't even guarantee its own safety, what's the point of generating more electricity? 】

[We all know that the Jianghan Plain and the Yangtze River Delta are both important economic areas in my country, and the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone accounts for a quarter of my country's GDP, which can be said to be the top priority. 】

[Imagine if the Three Gorges Dam is unfortunately destroyed. 】

[The Yangtze River will no longer be controllable, and the coast will return to the difficult situation of frequent floods. The Jianghan Plain and the Yangtze River Delta will not be able to continue to develop. 】

[By then, tens of millions of people and millions of hectares of arable land along the coast will be destroyed. 】

[Countless companies will stop working or even go bankrupt. 】

[Even my country's overall national strength will be greatly weakened, and it is very likely that it will never recover from it. 】

【What is even more terrifying is that when the Three Gorges Dam is destroyed, the Yangtze River will immediately burst into a major flood, and the downstream will be flooded in just one week because there is no time to prepare. 】

【Secondly, the second consequence of the destruction of the Three Gorges Dam is the shortage of power supply. 】

【As mentioned before, theAs the largest hydropower station in my country and even in the world, the dam generates more than 100 billion kWh of electricity each year, which is transported to Jianghuai and Guangdong through the West-East Power Transmission Project. 】

[You should know that these two economically developed regions are large electricity consumers, with a large number of industrial and mining enterprises, which require a lot of electricity to maintain operation every year. 】

[If the dam stops transmitting electricity, some local enterprises will stop working and production. 】

[Industry emphasizes chain production. For example, if one of the electronic parts factories stops production, other related industries such as mobile phones and computers will also be forced to stop production. 】

[Thus forming a butterfly effect, the loss is very shocking. 】

[Even if the power generation is balanced again later and the major enterprises in the two economically developed regions resume production, the losses are irreversible after all. 】

[Enterprise production confidence cannot be restored to the previous level. 】

[And the third terrible consequence is the decline in the navigation capacity of the Yangtze River. 】

【As we all know, the Yangtze River is actually divided into flood season and dry season. 】

【During the dry season, the navigation capacity is not very high, especially in the upper reaches where the terrain spans a large area, it is difficult for ships to sail to the downstream during the dry season. 】

【However, since the construction of the dam, the one-way navigation capacity of the Yangtze River has increased fivefold! 】

【It has increased dramatically from 10 million tons to 50 million tons. 】

【Countless cargo ships and related companies have benefited from this. 】

【This is not only because the dam regulates the water volume of the Yangtze River, making it navigable all year round, but more importantly, the dam can use the ship lift inside the dam to smoothly transport ships to the upper reaches, so that they do not have to suffer from turbulent water when crossing the terrain. 】

【In short, if the Three Gorges Dam is destroyed. 】

【It no longer has the three important functions of flood control, power generation, and shipping. 】

【It is bound to cause incalculable consequences to our country, among which our country's economic level will definitely decline again and again. 】

【In fact, there is a precedent of blowing up dams in wars in history. 】

【During World War II, the Ying army formed the 617 Lancaster bomber squadron, equipped with heavy cylindrical special bombs, specifically bombing the German Möhne dam group. 】

【The Möhne dam group includes three dams: Möhne, Sope and Eder. 】

【It is located upstream of the Ruhr industrial area in the heart of Germany. 】

【Among them, the Möhne Dam was the largest dam in Europe at the time, and it was dedicated to providing electricity for the Ruhr area. 】

【In the end, the 617 squadron dropped nearly 10 special bombs, 5 of which fell on the Möhne Dam, instantly blowing up a huge gap 150 meters wide. 】

【The entire valley began to shake. 】

【The flood flowed along the gap, and the entire dam area became an inland sea. Countless houses and hundreds of factories along the coast were submerged, and about 10,000 people died. The economic losses were incalculable. 】

【Not only that, after the destruction of the Möhne dam group, the Ruhr industrial area lost its most important source of electricity, and a large part of it was destroyed.Some military factories were forced to stop production, which also led to Germany's lack of stamina and accelerated its surrender. 】

【You must know that this is still the Rhine River area with a smaller flow. 】

【The consequences are already so terrible! 】

【If the Three Gorges Dam is destroyed, the consequences of the Yangtze River, the world's third largest river, will only increase exponentially. 】

【At the same time, a new problem also arises. 】

【So how can we prevent the enemy from attacking the Three Gorges Dam? 】

【And after the dam is attacked, can it withstand it? 】

【There is no need to worry about getting up. 】

【As a gravity dam that uses nearly 28 million cubic meters of concrete and 600,000 tons of steel, the Three Gorges Dam has excellent resistance to attack. 】

【Ordinary attacks can basically not hurt it. 】

【According to the simulation of foreign military experts, ordinary medium-range missiles with a warhead of about 800 kilograms cannot effectively damage it. 】

【At most, they can only cause some small pits on the surface of the dam, which will not affect its foundation at all. 】

【You should know that the Three Gorges Dam was designed with possible attacks from the enemy in mind, and it can resist the existence of small nuclear bombs. 】

【The mountains on the left and right are made of hard granite. 】

【It is even more difficult to be blown up. 】

【Of course, maybe someone might say that since medium-range missiles are not enough, then intercontinental missiles will do. 】

【As long as the intercontinental missiles are equipped with a few more nuclear warheads, do you believe it can still be blown up? 】

【In fact, even intercontinental missiles cannot blow up the Three Gorges Dam. 】

【Of course, my country has established an atmospheric mid-course anti-missile system, and deployed Hongqi 19 and Hongqi 26 anti-missile missiles. 】

【The enemy's conventional intercontinental missiles have not yet reached the dam, and there is a high probability that they will be intercepted. 】

【You should know that the Hongqi 19 anti-missile missile can penetrate the atmosphere to an altitude of 150 kilometers. At the same time, with the N15B solid engine, its terminal speed is as high as Mach 8 or more, which is enough to intercept most intercontinental missiles in the world. 】

【However, some people may say that nowadays, hypersonic intercontinental missiles have been developed, and the conventional flight speed is as high as Mach 20, which cannot be intercepted by the Chinese anti-missile system. 】

【This is indeed the case. 】

【But it should be understood that hypersonic intercontinental missiles are only in the testing stage, not a mature weapon, and whether they can be used in actual combat is still a question. 】

[What's more, even if a hypersonic intercontinental missile hits the Three Gorges Dam and unfortunately destroys it. 】

[We don't have to worry too much, because China will definitely fight back, and all of humanity will be finished! 】

[Imagine that when the Three Gorges Dam is destroyed by an intercontinental missile, China's Dongfeng 41 hypersonic intercontinental missile will also be launched to launch a nuclear counterattack against the enemy's strategic targets. 】

[Then the world will fall into a terrifying nuclear war.】

【At that time, in addition to the towns where we live being destroyed and ourselves being instantly vaporized, the earth will also enter a cold nuclear winter, and most creatures, including surviving humans, will gradually go extinct. 】

【Moreover, according to the Geneva Convention. 】

【In war, countries around the world cannot actively attack civilian projects or facilities such as nuclear power plants and dams, otherwise it will be regarded as a crime against humanity. 】

【Although this convention has limited effectiveness, it still has certain restrictions. 】

【By then, if the Three Gorges Dam is attacked by intercontinental missiles, the enemy country will fall into a public opinion disadvantage and be condemned and opposed by the international community, which is undoubtedly more beneficial to our country. 】

【Therefore, using missiles to attack the Three Gorges Dam is basically a false proposition. 】

【For the future of mankind, the enemy dare not use intercontinental missiles to attack the dam, and ordinary missiles will be intercepted or unable to cause fundamental damage to the dam. 】

[In addition, some people have imagined using strategic bombers and agents to destroy the dam. 】

[But the conclusion is still not feasible. 】

[First of all, strategic bombers, take the US B2 Ghost stealth fighter as an example. 】

[Its stealth capability is said to be far superior to all fighters at the time, and it can absorb most radar waves, and the reflected radar waves are no different from those of a bird. 】

[However, even so, the B2 fighter cannot evade China's YLC8E anti-stealth radar. 】

[This radar uses the high-mobility UHF band and anti-stealth technology for the first time, and can detect stealth fighters at a long distance. 】

[Second, it is impossible to pass through the heavy radar detection system, reach the hinterland of southwest my country, and bomb the Three Gorges Dam. 】

[Even if he really did it, as mentioned before, my country will definitely implement nuclear retaliation. 】

【For the enemy, the loss outweighs the gain. 】

【Next, let's look at the agent attack. The enemy's agents must sneak into the southwest of my country, then deceive the layers of special forces guarding the dam, and finally find a way to destroy the dam. 】

【But regardless of whether they can successfully sneak in, even if they reach the vicinity of the dam, how can they destroy the dam? 】

【The Three Gorges Dam cannot be destroyed by a small nuclear bomb, so how can a small agent destroy it? 】

【In short, if the world starts a war again, we don't have to worry too much about the enemy attacking the dam. 】

【Because China has a response strategy. 】

"¨‖ This dam can withstand nuclear bombs, it's too strong~' !"

"Hehe, it seems that the enemy can't destroy this dam no matter what, I don't think they dare to do it!"

"It seems that we are worrying too much, they have all thought of countermeasures, so there is no need to worry nowThe flood broke the dam."

"......"

Many ancient people did not even think about the damage to the dam, but they were surprised to find that countermeasures were already in place when it was built.

It can only be said that the thinking is comprehensive and the sense of crisis is very strong!

.............................................................(Ma Li Zhao).............

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly in admiration.

"Well done, this is the only way to ensure the safety of the people on both sides of the strait."

"I have never thought that the Yangtze River coast is so rich, and nearly 30% of the country's money is there. ”

He still greatly underestimated the role of the Three Gorges Dam.

At first, he thought it could only control water and generate electricity, but he didn't expect it could also make water transportation more convenient.

Water transportation is much more economical than land transportation!

And the harm of the dam bursting exceeded his expectations!

It was simply a dam that affected the fate of a dynasty!

After reading it, Ying Zheng felt restless. He even wanted to build one, but he just thought about it and quickly gave up this unrealistic idea.

...........................................................................

Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di's hanging heart finally returned to his stomach.

"Good, well done!"

"If the enemy dares to attack the dam, just use a nuclear bomb to blow them up!"

"The enemy will be afraid of the consequences and will definitely not dare to do this. ”

“Hey, I want to do this big project that benefits the country and the people.”

Zhu Di’s words frightened the ministers around him.

The Minister of Revenue was the first to be pushed out by the officials. He hurriedly trotted two steps and knelt down and shouted: “Your Majesty, you must not do this!”

“The Forbidden City has already cost a lot of money, and we can’t build such a big project again.”

“Please think twice, Your Majesty.”

He jumped out for nothing else, it was purely because the Ministry of Revenue could not deduct the money to celebrate!

Zhu Di frowned and glanced at the Minister of Revenue, and said in an unhappy tone: “I’m just talking, do you take it seriously?”.
