Start with 10,000 pigs

The second elder left excitedly.。

He was moved by Lei Ziqing’s plan, but the plan was too huge and he couldn’t give Lei Ziqing a definite answer. More accurate and detailed research was needed.。

After half a month, Lei Ziqing was in the imperial capital, and the official side also sent many professionals to make various assumptions and deductions about Lei Ziqing’s plan.。

Although many problems were discovered, they are all small problems that can be solved by finding ways. From a big perspective, Lei Ziqing’s plan is indeed feasible and is not a fantasy.。

In addition to exploring the feasibility of the plan, officials also evaluated the initial investment and subsequent impact to determine the benefits and disadvantages of the plan before making a final decision.。

It was extremely fast to be able to get the results in half a month. On this day, the second elder came to Lei Ziqing’s courtyard again and informed him of the final results. The official agreed to his plan.。

The next step is to discuss official cooperation with Lei Ziqing.。

To implement this plan, we need to reach an agreement in advance on how to divide the work and what obligations we should assume.。

Lei Ziqing held a printed form in his hand and looked at it carefully. This was the summary report finally given by the official staff after some research. It included some data assessments of the financial budget, project duration, and project impact.。

“The artificial canal from the West Sea to the Tamu Basin will take about 230 kilometers to excavate. The canal standard requires 50 meters wide and three meters deep. It requires about 150,000 workers and several construction machinery. The project takes eight months. The total construction cost is about 690 billion, and the average cost per kilometer is about 3 billion!”

Building artificial canals is equivalent to digging canals in ancient times. It costs more than building highways. To build canals, it is not only enough to dig out a channel that is wide and deep enough, but also to build embankments, dams, warehouses and bridges. These are all supporting facilities. of!

In addition, from the West Sea to the Tamu Basin, this is basically a plateau area, and the construction difficulty is higher than that in the inland plains. Therefore, if you want to build this canal, even if it is only more than 200 kilometers, the estimated cost is as high as Nearly 700 billion, and the cost per kilometer is as high as 3 billion!

Compared with the construction cost of a highway, which is only 100 million per kilometer at most, this cost is undoubtedly very high.。

“The impact of building artificial river channels on Tanggu Mountain and Kexili Natural Environment Protection Area, and the benefits and damage to local ecology…”

For a large project like this, it is impossible not to consider the impact on the environment and ecology, especially from the West Sea to the Tamu Basin, and also close to the Kexili area, which is an important nature reserve.。

“The underground culvert connecting the West Sea to the North Sea requires construction thousands of meters underground. The geology is dominated by hard rocks, and the construction conditions are complex and changeable….”

“The length of underground culverts built from the West Sea to the Beihai is about 2,000 kilometers. Based on the construction standard of a three-meter impact machine radius, it is expected that at least five culverts will be needed to ensure that the water loss in the West Sea can be compensated.。”

“As long as there are no major changes or force majeure factors, the project is expected to take about one and a half to three years to complete. Depending on the actual situation, a large number of professional construction personnel will be needed, and it is estimated that more than 5 trillion yuan will be invested!”

“From the Arctic Ocean to the North Sea, the altitude of the Arctic Ocean is lower than that of the North Sea. If the seawater from the Arctic Ocea

n is to be desalinated and introduced into the North Sea, it is also necessary to build underground canals and use pressure differences for transmission. It is estimated that more than 5,000 kilometers of underground culverts will need to be built!”

“…”

“It is feasible to build the West Sea into a water tower of the Tian Dynasty. The West Sea has an altitude of 2,300 meters and is higher than the surrounding Loess Plateau. Its water flow can enter the Tamu Basin to the west, the Loess Plateau to the north, the Longnan Gobi to the south, and the Longnan Gobi to the east. It can enter the North China Plain, and its water source can radiate two-thirds of the territory of China, completely solving the water problem!”

“…”

Lei Ziqing looked at it very seriously. Even though he had a photographic memory and could memorize everything at a glance, he was not only memorizing it, but also deeply understanding and thinking.。

There is no doubt that Lei Ziqing’s side is just an idea and provides a general direction; the professionals found by the official side are indeed professional enough.���, conducted all-round derivation and consideration of the plan, and made detailed data and evaluations, many of which Lei Ziqing had never thought of.。

This can be regarded as checking for deficiencies, allowing Lei Ziqing to have a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the plan he proposed after carefully reading it.。

Then he was a little nervous, because judging from this detailed report, the amount of investment required to realize his plan was far more than he had thought before.。

Just to build the artificial water canal from the West China Sea to the Tamu Basin, nearly 700 billion is needed; to build one underground culvert from the West Sea to the Beihai is not enough, at least five must be built to meet the needs, and it is estimated that it will also cost 5 trillion. invest。

The largest part is the North Sea. If you want to get water from the Arctic Ocean to the North Sea, which is expected to cover a distance of 5,000 kilometers, you also need to build underground culverts, relying on the effect of underground pressure.。

In terms of construction difficulty, building an culvert from the Arctic Ocean to the North Sea is higher than building an culvert from the West Sea to the North Sea, because the climate there is cold and the frozen soil is not easy to construct.。

It is estimated that building a culvert from the Arctic Ocean to the North Sea would take at least five years and cost at least 15 trillion, assuming at least five culverts!

700 billion + 5 trillion + 15 trillion, plus various other investments and losses, this will cost at least 21 trillion!

Twenty-one trillion, even if Lei Ziqing now earns more than two trillion in net profit every year, this is enough for him to work hard for ten years!

Calculated based on the investment of 200 billion in the Four Gorges Project, this is equivalent to one hundred Four Gorges Projects; even if it is calculated as the project of “hiding water into Xinjiang”, it is equivalent to a huge amount of funds for five “hiding water into Xinjiang”。

However, although the investment is large, the benefits it brings are far greater than the ‘hiding water into Xinjiang’ project!

Not only is the transformation of the Tamu Basin more effective, but more importantly, it can make the West Sea the water tower of the entire China, radiating two-thirds of the country’s territory, and completely solving the problem of water shortage and water shortage in the China!

By then, not only the Tamu Basin, but also the northwest regions including the Loess Plateau will have abundant water resources!

Therefore, after the official obtained this data, they had no intention of giving up. This plan must be carried out!

Now even if Lei Ziqing wants to withdraw, the official side will insist on it!

This is a major project that truly benefits the country and the people and will contribute to the future of the country!
