Good and Bad
The super project had already started, but the people of Zhen Country were still arguing about it. It was mainly the cities in the northern coastal areas, as well as some environmental experts and scholars in Zhen Country.
The northern coastal areas were mainly considered to be coastal areas in the past, but now they had to follow freshwater lakes and seas. They did not even have tides for a long time. There were also coastal channels that had long been integrated into their lives that rose and fell by the tides. They felt at a loss because they were not used to the future.
The main consideration of the experts and scholars was that this was a difficult period for the country. Such a super project was completely useless. It was better to increase the basic survival guarantee for the people of the country.
The people of Zhen Country, who did not have a guarantee of survival, also hoped that the ruling department would focus on the basic survival of the people. They would not care much about national affairs and only planned for their short-term interests.
There were also the refugees who had lost everything. Their voices were also very strong against this super project. Their main goal was to stabilize the people's livelihood.
But no matter what, the people of Zhen Country had been arguing about this for a long time. There were many people who said that the super project was good, but there were also many people who said that the super project was bad. The heat of the controversy continued to rise. However, after a relatively comprehensive analysis, many advantages and disadvantages were listed.
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, from the analysis of the overall hot topics, ten explanations of the advantages and disadvantages of building this project were selected and published for the public to comment.
Benefits of Super Engineering:
1. The most effective South-to-North Water Diversion Plan did not require the downstream to compete for water from the upstream, and the north to compete for water from the south.
2. The most effective freshwater utilization plan. The entire northern coastal area no longer has to worry about the uneven distribution of freshwater resources in terms of geography and time, which will cause freshwater resource tension.
3. It alleviated the further deterioration of land salinification caused by pumping underground water in cities and some rural areas within 100 kilometers of the coast. On the contrary, it could use the newly built canal to improve land salinification and promote the rise of underground water level, which was more conducive to the healthy and sustainable development of economic life.
4. The relocation of heavy industries with high energy consumption and high pollution has effectively improved the terrestrial environment. I believe that with the passage of time, the natural ecological environment will develop in a better direction.
5. There are nearly 50,000 square kilometers of saline-alkalized land in the northern coastal areas that can be improved and used. For production and life, new usable land has been liberated.
6. The newly established natural ecological clean water restoration area along the coast is huge. It can effectively improve the water, land and air pollution, making the natural environment better.
7. The water in the sea is not directly exchanged with seawater and is not affected by ocean tides. Even if a storm surge occurs in freshwater areas, it will not cause salt pollution to the land.
8. The ecological capacity density of freshwater fish is several times that of the ocean. The development of the fishery can create a new market ecological environment and more abundant and efficient protein resources.
9. The concentration and distribution of heavy industries can be better developed, reducing production costs, and neutralizing each other's pollution can also reduce environmental pollution.
10. The relocation of heavily polluting enterprises in land areas can free up large areas of land for other construction, such as withdrawing from industrial and agricultural industries in ecologically fragile areas to curb the further damage to the environment caused by human industry and production.
The other ten disadvantages and the solution given by the ruling body
1. Waste of manpower and money: Zhen Nation was currently in a difficult period of catastrophe. Due to the near collapse of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries of society, nearly one-third of the population had suddenly become unemployed and lost their land. If these people could not be settled in their lives and jobs, there would be a very big social problem. The construction of these large projects was conducive to the stability of the population and increased the employment of these people. As for the loss of money, the society had too much surplus capital to find an investment direction. If the ruling department did not strengthen its control, it would definitely cause a more serious financial impact. It would inevitably cause prices to rise and currency to inflate. It would further aggravate social instability and even enter a vicious cycle.
2. How to solve the environmental damage caused by the huge amount of earth and stone borrowed from the project: The earthworks used in the project were mainly composed of three aspects. First, the earthworks of the newly planned coastal freshwater canal. Second, the abandoned stone mountains and the earth-rock mixed mountains and hills in the coastal areas that could not produce economic output. 3. Sediment and other materials at the bottom of the sea 30 meters below the sea surface inside and outside the surrounding areas.
3. The water in the river is polluted, and it will also pollute the coastal areas when it is concentrated. We all know that shallow seas and muddy seas are heavily polluted at this stage. In the long run, a large part of the pollution is caused by human industrial activities. Therefore, we will move our industries to the sea reclamation areas and concentrate large-scale high-pollution industries to reduce the damage to the natural environment caused by heavy industries. We will also improve the natural environment of urban industrial pollution in places where conditions permit. We will build large-scale ecological wet lands along the coast and deal with the inland pollution. I believe that with the completion of the freshwater ecological improvement project and the concentration of heavy pollution industries, the natural environment of the entire Zhen Country will soon improve.
4. The shallow sea and part of the muddy sea were surrounded into freshwater seas. How would the people living in the coastal areas live in the future? The coastal areas mainly depended on the salt industry, breeding, and fishing industry. The salt industry of Zhen Country was mainly in the west and north. There was not much sea salt produced in the coastal areas. The ruling department would arrange for the existing salt production enterprises to enter the northwest region for production.
Fishermen and herders for breeding and fishing operations would be arranged outside the dike. The ruling department would provide fixed-point simulation submarine levitation boxes to simulate the ecology of the original coastal areas for breeding and fishery, as well as promote it in the coastal areas of Quanzhen Country. The water quality and environment here would be better, and the output would be better. It would stabilize the new and old farmers and some fishermen to settle down for breeding.
[Note: Fixed point simulation floating box: It was a cultivation box that was fixed at the bottom of the sea and suspended above 30 meters below the sea surface by buoyancy. As the sunlight in most sea areas could reach 30 meters below the sea surface at most, it would become darker and darker. Therefore, more than 90% of the seafood in the ocean was produced at this height. This height was also the main living area of marine creatures. Marine cultivation was generally within 30 meters below the sea surface. Submarine levitation boxes were cultivation boxes and cultivation platforms that were fixed on the relatively deep seabed and mimicked the land coast, and their height from the sea level could be adjusted.
5. Encircling the sea will disrupt the original marine ecology and cause a marine ecological disaster: The toxic pollution at this stage has caused a serious collapse of the natural ecosystem in the ocean. If we rely on natural recovery, it will take 30 to 50 years to reach the level before the catastrophe. It can be said that it is difficult for the marine ecosystem to recover naturally in a short period of time. If we want to change it, we can only rely on human factors to rebuild it. Why can't we choose a better plan? " Moreover, we have also simulated the coast and seabed outside the dike. We have reconstructed an original ecological environment in the unpolluted sea area on a large scale. After comparing the data, it can be said that from the results of the supercomputer simulation, because the water quality there is better, it will be more healthy than the original marine ecology. There will be more species and products.
6. How to solve the shipping and ecological harm caused by river silt and aquatic plants entering the freshwater sea: For thousands of years, the silting of rivers and lakes had been a serious threat to the safety of China's rivers and coastal areas. China had long established a large-scale team to dredge the bottom of the river and catch floating objects on the surface. These were not problems.
7. How to solve the problem of freshwater sea freezing in winter: Freezing of fresh water was a normal natural phenomenon in winter. It was undeniable that the scale of freezing might be larger after the sea was built. However, before that, there was still some phenomenon of freezing of the ocean. The fresh water only increased the thickness and area of a small part. In addition, we have plans to build icebreakers on a large scale and hand them over to the relevant ports. Their expertise can allow icebreakers to be used to break ice and ensure shipping safety. In addition, due to the accelerated operation of the ocean tide, the exchange speed of the sea area outside the dike was several orders of magnitude higher than before. Therefore, the sea area outside the dike basically did not produce the phenomenon of freezing, which would not affect the safety of the ships in the industrial zone.
8. Will it affect the future division of the sea area? The construction and reclamation routes are all on one side of the sea area of Zhen Country, which is far away from the neighboring countries. It is also far away from the maritime boundary line advocated by both sides. The entire project and related operations are completely located on the side of Zhen Country's exclusive economic zone between Zhen Country and other countries. There are no disputed waters. As for the related boundary issues in the future, we will still adhere to our principles.
9. The division of the Mud-bottom Sea will seriously affect the ocean currents, causing heat exchange problems: After the completion of the project, the ocean currents in the remaining part of the Muddy Sea would indeed change a lot. The exchange of water in the ocean would be one to two times faster, and the effect would be more obvious. The corresponding saltiness and temperature would increase, but the water quality would definitely change for the better. This was not a bad thing, but a better result.
10: Such a large freshwater sea will seriously affect the climate, and there may be new disasters: According to the supercomputer's simulation, the freshwater sea as a whole might drop by two to three degrees in winter, and the real ocean in the east would rise by two to three degrees. Within the dike, the eastern region, which was closer to the ocean, would rise by one to two degrees, and the western region, which was closer to the land, would drop by two to three degrees. The climate change in the entire region would increase slightly, but it was not very obvious. In summer, the temperature of the entire enclosed area would increase by about one degree, which would be more conducive to the production of water vapor. The temperature outside the enclosed area would decrease by one or two degrees, but the increase or decrease of rainfall was not clear, and the climate change would not be large. Moreover, the difference in the hot and cold areas could also increase the atmospheric circulation appropriately, which would help improve the atmospheric pollution in the area and make it easier to dissipate. Of course, if the pitiful pollution discharge could be considered pollution.
The above was the most incredible of the super projects provided by the ruling organization. Although there were strong doubts or objections from both inside and outside the country, the leaders of the ruling department of Zhen Country unanimously decided to continue the super project, and their determination was unusually firm.
There was no other way. Although Zhen Country was still at war with Anhao Country, there were still a large number of unemployed people in the country, not to mention those refugees. This super project was to provide jobs for a portion of the people and also to promote the development of related industries. It was a life-saving project for Zhen Country now and in the future.
Just like that, the ruling department led the half-starved working people to carry out the world's largest man-made freshwater project. Because domestic and foreign opposition could not affect the decision of the ruling body of Zhen Country, now, people all over the world would say: Regarding this matter, this was very loyal to the country!
In Zhen Country, from the first day of the project to the start of construction, all kinds of favorable publicity for the project had been carried out in the media. Obviously, this was a necessary task.
There was an introduction in the publicity project: This was a good project for thousands of generations. Its function could be compared to the ancient northern defense wall and the North-South Grand Canal. Whether it was now or in the future, this project would become the happiness of the descendants of the Zhen Nation for hundreds of millions of years. He believed that the ruling department of this dynasty would not leave behind eternal infamy, but would forever be recorded in the annals of history.
In fact, the vast majority of the people in Zhen Country supported this super project because there were a few basic needs that supported the construction of this super project. One of the most important ones was the urgency of safe water resources.
Ever since the big explosion and the water crisis that relied on rivers, many water resources could not be used. The serious shortage of water resources made the current water resources become sky-high. The high price of water made people in places where there was a shortage of water cherish any clean water resources very much. They could not wait to use a drop of water as if it was two drops of water.
Take the simplest example. In the past, a family used to use 10 cubic meters of water per month on average, and the price was relatively low. But now, due to the serious shortage of water resources, the latest regulation of the ruling department was that everyone could have one cubic meter of water for free. However, after exceeding the limit, the price of the first "cubic meter" would be 10 times the original price of water, and then the price of the second "cubic meter" would double again. The third " cube " continued to double, and so on. If you used too much, just the original ten cubes of water would become a huge number, and many families would not be able to afford it.
If they couldn't afford to pay such a tiered price, then the total water supply of the family would be limited to one cubic meter per person. The smart water meter would stop when it was time. If they wanted to use it more, they had to pay a high price or find a way elsewhere.
As a result, any clean water source in any public place in the city suffered. It was secretly robbed by people who lacked water. Even if this was not enough, when it rained, it was also collected by people with intentions. There was no other way. There was too little clean water. It was all forced.
Previously, these water-deficient places were supplied with water resources by rivers and lakes. Given the geographical location, the vast north was more serious than the south. After being seriously polluted, the north couldn't match the south in terms of the total amount of water resources that could be replenished by sky rain and underground water. Now, after hearing that such a super large freshwater sea could be built by encircling the sea, the problem of water shortage in the northern coastal areas could be solved once and for all. No one who was driven crazy by the water problem would be stupid enough to object.
In the foreseeable future, as long as this super project was completed and put into operation, the northern coastal cities and regions would not need to get water from other rivers and underground water anymore. Because there was inexhaustible freshwater beside them. Correspondingly, those rivers that entered the sea would have less water resources to be transferred away and the competition between upstream and downstream regions would be reduced. As a result, the upstream and surrounding regions of these rivers would have more water resources. It solved a considerable contradiction between time and space for water resources, not to mention the migration of heavy industrial pollution sources. It was reasonable to support this super project.
