In a certain research institute, a group of engineers working overtime were comforting themselves while rushing through design drawings.
"But this also has an advantage, that is, we don't have to suffer bumps. It can be transported all the way by water, and multiple nodes can be deployed at the same time. The construction speed will be greatly accelerated."
"At least it's more comfortable than building bridges and installing signal towers in the mountains in the south."
An engineer said while revising the design drawing, "I heard from my colleagues in the south that Zhejiang Province has already placed a lot of orders for inland river passenger ships and cargo ships. By then, it will be possible to directly connect the Yangtze River to Xinjiang Province by waterway. It will be convenient. Incredible."
"Nima, taking a boat all the way from Zhejiang Province to the far west of Xinjiang Province sounds magical."
"What's even more magical is that in less than half a month, shipping will be launched."
Another engineer was about to go to the restroom with pay, left his seat, took out his mobile phone and watched while walking, "The hot searches were all about the Hongqi River project. All the anchors and up hosts who were close to the canal went to watch, all the people from close range The videos are all very popular.”
An engineer who had just come out of the toilet answered, "The most popular one is the live broadcast of driving an off-road vehicle chasing the canal. The popularity is off the charts."
He was talking about an outdoor self-driving anchor. He was driving in Gansu Province in the morning. He happened to encounter the Hongqi River flowing into water. Then by chance, he was not far from the bank of the canal. So he started to go to the field and chased the head of the canal water. Department, live broadcasting while driving, and flying drones from time to time.
The effect is so good that it explodes!
All the netizens who were not satisfied with watching the official live broadcast rushed in and created a big internet celebrity out of thin air.
Then, he was forced to stop and persuaded to return by the patrolman on the side of the canal. The reason was that the whole front was an uninhabited wilderness. Not only would it be easy for the anchor to get lost and be in danger, but he would also be easily trapped after the fuel and supplies were exhausted. .
Then there are the mountain people in Shu Province, hermits in the Qinling Mountains, and people in counties and villages near the river, all starting live broadcasts and shooting various short videos.
Immediately afterwards, all self-media followed suit, and countless popular science videos and analytical articles were released one after another. From history to economy, from current affairs to people's livelihood, the analysis was clear and logical, and the popularity was soaring.
Of course, there are not without doubts.
For example, it wastes people and money, questioning the necessity of spending huge amounts of money, spending taxpayers' money to carry out projects that are not necessary in the short term, and the amount has been kept secret, the construction unit has kept it secret, and all the contents have not been made public. It is suspected that there is a huge benefit transfer. .
For example, in terms of environmental damage, it is concluded that the canal will cause irreversible damage to the coastal ecology, and the consequences will gradually appear in decades. Retaliation for the Chinese people who have made major changes to the earth without authorization will definitely cause endless harm in the future.
For example, in international relations, it is said that we have taken away water resources from Southeast Asian and South Asian countries, which can easily cause neighbor disputes and make us subject to dissatisfaction in international relations. This is not the behavior of a large country.
However, in addition to having fixed fans among some specific groups of people, these voices have been applauded and welcomed, and have received rational, objective and profound praise. As soon as they leave the circle, they will be sprayed with blood. head.
…
The Red Chess Grand Canal incident has become extremely popular in China, but how can it be tolerated abroad?
"Baga! Impossible!"
"Axi! It's impossible!"
"Oh My God, it's impossible!"
Countless videos of the opening of canals have been circulated on external video platforms. Although the traffic has been restricted, their accounts have not been blocked, so many foreigners who pay attention can still see it, whether they are well-intentioned or malicious.
"How could China build this Grand Canal silently?"
"Fake news, it's impossible, it's completely against the laws of nature, it's fake news to deceive the whole world, just like some conspiracy theories that say Jews rule the Lighthouse Country."
"It's great. Only they can build this kind of century project. I really want to experience it on site. I must go to China again tomorrow to take a good look at this grand canal."
"By doing this, they have irreparably damaged the environment and destroyed biodiversity. How many animals and plants have died because of the opening of this grand canal? This is too bad!"
"I suggest that the whole world learn from China and see their capabilities in afforestation and large-scale infrastructure construction, which makes the people of their country live very well."
"I don't believe it. Unless I see it with my own eyes, I will never believe the authenticity of this project. However, I will not go to China unless they improve their human boxing problem."
"It's just a canal. There's nothing to brag about. We built the Erie Canal two hundred years ago. The world's famous canals include the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal. The Chinese have a lot of people and are worthless. Digging a canal is enough." What a surprise."
…
While netizens are unable to grasp the key points and focus on all kinds of misunderstandings, the heads of state and intelligence agencies of various countries are overwhelmed and almost have their jaws dropped.
"How can it be?"
"Intelligence agencies found no trace from beginning to end."
"Satellite shows that two months ago, some troops appeared near the current canal near the city, blocked it, and drove in the operating machinery."
"Two months ago?"
"Yes, more than two months ago, based on the current situation, it was judged that the construction had reached a critical position and was too conspicuous, so the cover-up activity was carried out."
"Do you believe it?"
"..."
"Don't talk about what can be done in more than two months, just talk about the three years reported by China. Do you believe it?"
"..."
"They must be hiding something!"
"Is it some newly developed special construction machinery? Otherwise they wouldn't move so fast."
"It is very possible that there are also complex geological problems. How did they solve them? You know, the geological problems of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains have always been the most difficult world-class problems to solve."
"Maybe... it's the technology they accumulated while building roads on the plateau?"
"But it's too fast!"
"In addition, there are costs. How can the cost of this kind of project be small, but I have not seen that China has been affected in other ways. This is impossible."
"There are also construction personnel, building materials, and mechanical equipment. There are too many problems here..."
"Yes, there must be some problem here, a secret that cannot be revealed to others, otherwise there is no need for them to hide it until the day the canal is opened to water. This is unscientific!"
"In short, we will do our best to explore the situation of the Hongqi River. I want to know all the details from research to project establishment, from the start of construction to completion!"
"yes!"
