#666 - Chapter 666: Blow up the Himalayas! Block three rivers and build a canal. Are you going again
If it's for national affairs, Old Lin will naturally not refuse.
"Little Chen, you… …"
He hesitated slightly: "You're not looking for me to build industrial parks or factories, are you?"
If he didn't respect Old Lin so much, Chen Hao would have almost laughed out loud.
"Old Lin, how could I dare trouble you with such trivial matters… …?" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Then what is this project you're talking about?"
Whoosh!
Chen Hao took out a pre-prepared map and immediately unfolded it on the tea table.
He took out a pen.
Near the western border, he drew several large crosses.
"Flatten the Himalayas." He gave the answer.
"What?!"
Old Lin stood up abruptly.
His face was incredulous, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with horror.
"Impossible… …"
After a long while.
Old Lin came back to his senses and shook his head, muttering: "It's simply impossible! Little Chen, is this… …a decision from the capital, or… …"
"It's my decision." Chen Hao smiled.
"Nonsense!"
Old Lin was furious.
Was this kid making fun of him?
He thought it was a decision from the Southwest Sea, and Chen Hao was bringing instructions to find him, but… … the other party said it was his own decision.
A little brat decided to blow up the Himalayas?
Was that something a normal person would say?
Either Chen Hao was crazy.
Or.
Chen Hao was playing with him.
"Mr. Chen, I need to get to work!" Old Lin got up to leave.
"Seawater desalination systems have already taken root in Egypt, and turning deserts into oases is not a fantasy, but it won't work in the Tarim Basin."
Chen Hao didn't stop the old man, explaining to his back: "The basis of seawater desalination is seawater, and the Tarim Basin has no seawater—even if it did, it wouldn't work."
"Affected by special factors, the basin's climate is hot and dry, and the evaporation rate is simply too high."
"But if we blow open the Himalayas and lower the terrain ridge on the southern slope of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, creating a slope from the direction of India, the Indian Ocean monsoon could enter Tibet and reduce the evaporation rate in the Tarim Basin."
He kept talking.
Suddenly!
Old Lin, who had walked twenty meters away, actually stopped in his tracks.
More than just stopping?
He turned around.
He returned to Chen Hao: "I still understand some basic geography—I have three questions, answer them first."
Chen Hao said in a deep voice: "Not only that! India's temperature is extremely high, and if the altitude is raised somewhat, it will actually… …help alleviate the high temperature."
Old Lin looked at him in surprise.
This kid… …
He's prepared!
"Second question, it's impossible for the Indian Ocean monsoon to cross the entire Tibetan region to the basin, it's too far!"
When the monsoon reaches the Tarim Basin, the impact on rainfall is very limited due to the distance being too far.
Even if the evaporation rate is greatly reduced due to the monsoon.
But… …
Isn't there still no water?
"Intercept a portion of the water sources from the Yarlung Tsangpo River, the Lancang River, etc., and dig canals to divert them into the Tarim River." With the entire plan in mind, Chen Hao answered without even considering it.
"… …"
Old Lin was completely stunned.
He stared blankly at the big boy in front of him: "Do you know… …how huge the amount of work is?"
"No matter how big it is, I must do it, benefiting the present and benefiting future generations!" Chen Hao's words were powerful and resounding.
"The last question… …I don't know how much you know about explosives, to blow up the Himalayas, the amount of explosives needed… …even multiplying our country's explosives by 1000 times wouldn't be enough!" The old man shook his head.
"Use nuclear bombs."
"What?! That's impossible, the radiation from nuclear bombs… …"
"Nuclear isomeric bombs have no radiation."
"… …"
Old Lin was directly petrified.
Is such a massive century-long project realistic?
He wasn't sure.
But!
Within the scope of his knowledge, the other party gave answers to all the questions raised, without thinking throughout the entire process.
What does that mean?
This child wasn't playing with him, but had considered all aspects.
It's just… …
That's a different matter from whether the plan can be implemented.
"Little Chen, it's good that you have this idea, but first of all, this involves many fields, I'm just an expert in explosion mechanics, and this involves… …hydrology, meteorology, engineering, etc., including countless fields."
Old Lin felt that the plan made sense based on his personal knowledge, but that was far from enough.
Science corresponds to extreme rigor.
It requires countless scientists to verify its feasibility from a professional standpoint.
Just verifying… …
Is very difficult!
"Old Lin, I've verified it, it's completely feasible!" Chen Hao said in a deep voice.
"No… …"
He found that this kid was too stubborn.
You verified it?
How did you verify it?
Could it be that you alone can span so many fields and prove that there are no problems?
How can anyone span so many fields?
Just kidding!
However, seeing that the other party was so stubborn, he didn't refute the matter of verification.
He thought of changing the angle to make the other party back down: "The problem is that the project is too large! I know that Hanteng Capital is very strong, but for this kind of project… …the amount of funds is far from enough!"
"Taking a step back, even if there is sufficient funding, this is a major national matter… …"
"Whether it's blowing up the Himalayas or intercepting the Yarlung Tsangpo River, neither you nor I can make the decision!"
"So… …"
Suddenly!
Two people walked over.
Shi Dali opened the briefcase.
The next moment.
Xiang Yan draped a military uniform over Chen Hao's shoulders.
Olive branches surrounding!
Five stars shining!
"Old Lin, this is the decision of the state." Chen Hao said, word by word.
On the way here, he had spoken with the old man on the phone, explaining the great significance of this project.
Changing the entire west!
China's land area is 9.6 million square kilometers.
The Tibetan and Xinjiang provinces, plus parts of Qinghai and Inner Mongolia, account for one-third of the country's land area.
Once these areas, climate and natural environment, can be completely improved… …
China will undergo a transformation!
The amount of work is certainly astonishing, exceeding the sum of the first and second phases of the nuclear fusion power station.
But!
Isn't the significance even greater?
On the other side.
Old Lin was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the five shining stars on the epaulet.
Not a white glove… …
But an identity that had been sealed for decades!
"Old Lin."
Chen Hao reached out to the old man: "The project concerns the future of China, and the entire process faces a large amount of nuclear-weapon-level blasting. This is your area of expertise, so… …I represent the country, and invite you to join!"
Old Lin trembled and shook hands with him: "As long as the country needs it, I will do my best, but… …"
"Please tell me!"
"Has it really been verified? This heaven-defying project requires too much investment, if it's not feasible… …it will really be a waste of money and manpower!"
"I'm not lying to you, it's really been verified."
"Who participated in the verification?"
"I did it alone."
"… …"
Old Lin thought he had misheard.
One person?
In the countless fields involving nuclear energy, meteorology, hydrology, engineering, etc.—he verified it alone?
"Commander, so many fields… …" He stammered.
He couldn't believe it.
But given the other party's identity, he didn't dare to be too blunt in questioning him.
Suddenly!
Chen Hao's phone rang.
Looking at the number, he immediately answered: "Old Qian… …you've come to Mianyang?!"
