    To say that the Yellow River is a river full of disasters is an understatement.  In the more than 2,000 years of recorded history, more than 1,500 breaches and flooding occurred in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and 26 major diversions occurred.  There are written records of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which generally pass through Hebei Province, from the present-day Ziya River Channel to the sea near Jinmen, and are called the "Old Yu River Course".  From the first major diversion of the Yellow River in 602 BC to the current river course in 1855 AD, 1128 years ago, the river went north of the current river course and entered the sea from Jinmen, Lijin and other places; after that, it went south of the current river course to capture the Huaihe River.  Entering the sea, the disaster affected an area of ??about 250,000 square kilometers in the lower reaches of the Haihe River, Huaihe River and Yangtze River.  Every breach caused heavy losses.  The Yellow River is a river with less water and more sand, and the water and sand are unevenly distributed. This feature is determined by the climate zone and geological-geographical environment in which the Yellow River Basin is located.  The main stream of the Yellow River is more than 5,400 kilometers long, with a drainage area of ??750,000 square kilometers. It spans dry, cold, arid, and semi-arid climate zones from west to east, and flows through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, the Loess Plateau with an altitude of 1,000-2,000 meters, and the 0-  The 200-meter-long North China Plain enters the sea.  The floods in the lower reaches of the Yellow River have always attracted the attention of the world.  Historically, there is a saying that the Yellow River "breaks its mouth twice every three years and changes its course once every hundred years."  In the 2,540 years from the fifth year of King Zhou Ding (602 BC) to the Huayuankou Pagoda in 1938, there were 543 recorded years of breaches and flooding, more than 1,590 embankment breaches, and the main river course underwent five major changes.  and migration.  The flood affected areas reaching Tianjin in the north and Jianghuai River in the south, including the Huanghuaihai Plain in Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.  With a length of 250,000 km2, the Yellow River is sometimes called "China's worry" due to flood disasters.  Floods often claim the lives of many people on both sides of the lower reaches.  According to historical records, more than 2 million people died in 1887, about 3 million people lost their lives in 1931, and more than 500,000 people drowned in 1938.  In 1938, in order to delay the advance of the Japanese army, the government blew up the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou north of Zhongyuansu, causing the tragedy of 890,000 people drowning and 12 million people homeless.  The Yellow River is full of disasters.  It has become "China's worry" for both natural and man-made reasons.  First, since the Qin Dynasty, the temperature on the Loess Plateau has turned cold and heavy rains have concentrated.  In addition, the loess itself has a loose structure and is easily eroded and collapsed, which contributes to soil erosion and causes a large amount of sediment to enter the Yellow River.  Second, the population is growing rapidly.  Unrestricted reclamation and grazing has destroyed forests, destroyed grasslands, and seriously damaged green vegetation. The Loess Plateau has lost its natural protective layer, causing severe soil erosion.  How to manage the Yellow River.  The experts and professors in China have also tried their best, but they have never gone beyond afforestation and soil and water conservation.  And with the current level of science and technology and economic capabilities, we can only start from this point.  But facts have proven that this conventional governance method is not effective.  Don¡¯t talk about how tens of millions of people in the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River can survive.  Even if these tens of millions of people don't cut down a single tree, it is impossible to fundamentally manage the Yellow River.  Because the Yellow River is a disaster, there are also deep-seated natural, climatic, and geological reasons.  However, the current strength of the people on earth or China is not enough to manage the Yellow River well, but it does not mean that Zhao Wuji cannot control the Yellow River.  The "Xuanhe" downstream is like a fertile land for Zhao Wuji's Yuandao Autonomous Territory.  Although the sand accumulated on the river bed is mostly "coarse sand" and lacks nutrients, as long as it is transported to Toido Island, it can become mature soil with a little modification.  It is much easier to sort than the mud and sand with salt and mineral content fished from the deep sea of ??the Pacific Ocean.  In fact, afforestation in the middle reaches can be changed to tree planting and grass planting, and the main industry is changed from agriculture to animal husbandry. In addition, necessary slope management and necessary water conservancy facilities are added. Presumably, in ten or twenty years, the Loess Plateau will be  Change appearance.  The first step in the management of the Loess Plateau in the midstream is large-scale investment. This kind of investment is an investment in environmental governance. It is only investment without direct return. This is difficult to achieve under China's existing system.  Why are rivers and streets in Chinese cities so easy to renovate? The reason is not that the government has money, but that the money can quickly produce more money after being invested.  For example, a square in Pingyuan City has been renovated on a large scale five times in just thirty years since it was opened, resulting in countless wasted money.  The second step in the management of the Loess Plateau in the middle reaches is the use of new technologies. This is not a problem for Yuandao. Plant varieties, biotechnology, treatment plans, etc. related to the Loess Plateau are basically all existing.  The third issue is relatively more troublesome, which is the issue of industrial transfer.  Because after returning farmland to forests and planting trees and grass, the industrial form dominated by agriculture will give way to the industrial form dominated by animal husbandry, and the population carrying capacity of animal husbandry is preferably 3-5 people per square kilometer, that is,  The entire Loess Plateau covers an area of ??400,000 square kilometers, with up to 2 million people making a living from animal husbandry.  However, the traditional industrial form based on agriculture has a population of at least 30 million people.  In addition, the ecology of the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the entire northwest region is very fragile, which is also an issue that must be considered in the management of the Yellow River.  "Xiao, do you think that the management of the Yellow River should be coordinated with the management of the entire northwest region?"Think about it, how do you think we should proceed?" After thinking about these issues, Zhao Wuji couldn't let go. It is said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Zhao Wuji has a deep "consciousness" about this. [Lord, if  It would be best if you consider the northwest region. Do you know why the "Shenchuang Base" is hidden in the Kunlun Mountains in the northwest? Because Kunlun Mountain is where the ancient powers collectively left for the Shenchuang Galaxy? "What do you mean?"  Zhao Wuji felt that the provocative words contained something unknown. "Because northwest China is the most convenient area for contact between the earth and alien planets. The legends of Kunlun Mountain and Lop Nur that are spread in China, as well as the ancient civilizations that disappeared in the desert areas, etc.  All imply this conclusion.] "This, I'm afraid, is a bit far-fetched.  "Zhao Wuji didn't believe it. [Far-fetched? Lord, do you think the "Yuanyang Zhenqi Jue" you practice is fake, or is the "Shenchuang Base" fake? Or do you think life is all illusory? ] "  " Zhao Wuji was speechless. In fact, although Zhao Wuji was successful in cultivation and mastered the "Divine Creation Base", a weapon that defies heaven, he still instinctively separated reality from legend. Perhaps  , This is also a portrayal of "it's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change the character" [Do you know why China has the highest success rate in launching satellites from the northwest region, while other countries have more or less failures? Do you really think that China's rocket technology is the best?  More developed than Western countries?] "Why?" Needless to say, Zhao Wuji is also very interested in this issue. "This is very complicated to say. To simplify it into one sentence, it is the northwest region of China, which is the line of star power.  The area with the least interference; in ancient times, it was also the area with the strongest spiritual energy. ""What does the star force line mean?" Zhao Wuji still grasped this key very sensitively. "Everyone on earth now knows about magnetism.  The concept of gravity, and the star force line, is the final resultant force of all the magnetism of a planet and the mutual gravity between planets. The range where the force is located is the star force line; the area with the least interference from the star force line does not mean that there is no such force.  The resultant force means that this resultant force is the most stable. In one word, it is calm and less prone to accidents. ] "Then what does the northwest region have to do with the abundance of ancient spiritual energy?" "Reiki is a kind of advanced energy, which can also be understood.  As active energy, it is not easy to accumulate in areas where magnetism and gravity are chaotic, but it can only be accumulated on a large scale in areas where star force lines are relatively stable.] "Then why is it now a desert?" [This,  There is no record of the Divine Creation Civilization. However, based on the experience of other similar civilizations, the changes in climate and environment in the northwest may be related to the power of ancient times. You must know that with your ability as a lord, you can already change the climate and environment on a small scale.  Environment. ] "You mean that the environment in the northwest was caused intentionally?" "This is very possible." "But didn't the scientists say that?" Zhao Wuji still didn't believe it.  Lord, what is the knowledge of earth scientists? When a galaxy is formed, its rules have already been formed. For example, the earth rotates around the sun, and its period and trajectory are fixed. This is dynamic balance, and everything is like this.  Even if there are changes, it will be within the scope of human understanding and tolerance, just like the Ice Age and Little Ice Age on Earth. But when a place changes from a forest oasis to a desert, either a vicious event such as Mars hitting the Earth occurs, or  It was deliberate action by powerful people like the ancient monks.] "Xiao, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Wuji is not stupid. Since Xiao emphasizes this, if he wants to go to outer space in the future, he will definitely take the northwest region as his starting point.  Good. [Controlling the Yellow River can be used as a starting point to gradually include the northwest into the plan.  If the earth's civilization wants to go into space, it must start from the northwest!  ] Zhao Wuji doesn¡¯t know the importance of the northwest. Western Xinjiang alone occupies one-sixth of China¡¯s land area. If the Qinghai-Tibet region is included, the entire northwest¡¯s land area accounts for more than two-thirds of China¡¯s area.  The population and productivity, etc., only account for less than one-fifth of China's or even weaker.  "The same principle applies to regulating the Yellow River. If the ecological and environmental problems in the northwest are not solved, just like the rural problems are not solved, how can we talk about modernization and how can we talk about an "utopia".  ¡¾Lord, you must also understand that the northwest is the ultimate way to solve China's population pressure!  The population carrying capacity of agriculture and animal husbandry is limited, but the population carrying capacity of modern industry and the future space industry is unlimited!  ] ps: Sorry, I haven¡¯t recovered from my illness, so my friend invited me to have tea again.  I owe two extra updates from my classmates who came to watch shu because I was bored. I¡¯ll make one update tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
