preface

In 2000, in order to develop the national economy and thoroughly improve the Hard problem of consciousness of water for people's livelihood in Sudan,Determined to build their own dam on their own land.

But at that time, Sudan had just ended its colonial rule,Both in terms of technology and infrastructure capabilities, it is not enough to support them in building the dam alone.However, livelihood issues still need to be resolved, so Sudan used the method of pre application for loans to conduct bidding worldwide,I hope that a country can help them complete the construction of the dam.

Sudan has emerged as a major single country, and many countries have sent their own elite teams to the Sudan region for inspection. The United States and Japan have also sent designers and builders to Sudan for on-site inspections,However, many major powers have returned from their travels to Sudan with a worried face, all of whom have turned their backs on Sudan's business.

Watching no one internationally take over this big order,At a time when Sudan was at a loss, China took on this big order.At that time, China was not yet what it is today, and the technology at that time was not as advanced as that of developed countries in the world. After learning that China had taken on the task of building a dam in Sudan,Internationally, many countries mock China as exceeding its capabilities.

Many countries are silently waiting for China to declare bankruptcy, just as many countries are eagerly waiting to see a joke,In 2009, China officially delivered the world's largest hydroelectric power station,It truly made the world seeWhat is the power of China! What is Chinese wisdom!

The construction of this hydropower station is indeed very difficult,China's infrastructure team also overcame numerous difficulties before being able to build it.

The difficulties on the Nile are numerous

The longest river in the world gave birth to the whole life of Ancient Egypt, even ifThe current Nile River is also the river of life for the entire continent.

The importance of the Nile and Africa is just likeThe importance of the Yellow River is the same as that of ChinaThe ancient civilization of the country originated here, and our ancestors grew and multiplied in this place. The importance of the mother river of each country has exceededThe value it brings to life.

Even to this day, the Yellow River and the Nile River are making contributions to the construction and development of the country and the happiness of the people.

The total length of the Nile River is 6853 kilometers,The climate of the main area where the Nile River is located is tropical grassland and tropical Desert climate climate, and the annual dry season and flood season are very regular,Only January to May is the dry season of the Nile River, while the rest of the months are waterlogged. The water level rises most severely in August.

This pattern of water level rise and fall has added many difficulties to the construction of dams. The Nile River originates from the plateau area, flows out of the plateau area, and enters the flat terrain of the basin at a very slow flow rate. In tropical areas, there are many aquatic organisms in the water, which further hinders the flow rate.

In the face of such a flat area, if we want to build hydropower stations, we must raise the water level,But this approach is obviously very risky. If something goes wrong,Breaking through a river embankment can bring about flood disasters.

The local area is mostly flat, and once a flood breaks out, it becomes uncontrollable, causing incalculable disasters. Of course, besides this difficulty, there are other issues. The local climate in Sudan is hot and dry,Concrete often cracks and cannot be used due to excessively dry weather.

The Chinese team sentMany workers are unable to adapt to the local dry and hot climate,Construction teamWork can only be done in the morning or evening.

In the early stages of construction, just after a section of the dam was built, the designers discovered a serious problem,The local area is too dry. When the dam is ready for finalization after construction, it cracks due to strong sunlight.Due to the extremely scarce industrial capacity in Sudan,Unable to produceNecessary for the construction of hydroelectric damsHigh strength reinforced concrete.

The high-strength reinforced concrete transported from far away in China, but also because the local transportation conditions are very backward, there is only one old railway used for nearly 100 years from the port to the construction area, and the trains on the railway often break down.This exacerbates the already difficult conditions.

The width of the Nile requires a large amount of high-strength reinforced concrete and mechanical equipment to build a dam on top of it. Moreover, at that time, within Sudan,The Sudanese government is highly unstable and often experiences small-scale riots.

This also adds a layer of danger to our staff and designers working in the Sudan region.In that tumultuous situation, they can be described as risking their lives in building dams.

However, even so, our country has not given up on building dams due to this. When difficulties arise, we will find a way, according to the old saying of our Chinese peopleThere are always more solutions than difficulties.

The "Great Wall" on the Nile River stands firm

For the numerous problems on the Nile River, we have no determination to build the Nile Dam,In ancient times, His Majesty the First Emperor built the Great Wall to defend China, while in modern times, New China has built the "Water Great Wall" to establish international relations.

The first thing that Chinese designers came up with to solve the problem of concrete cracking caused by drought in the Sudan region isUsing concrete moisturizing technology independently developed in ChinaEffectively improving the problem of concrete cracking caused by dry climate.

In order to ensure the continuous supply of construction materials, mechanical equipment, and concrete energy sources, maritime transportation and super large transport aircraft have been implementedDirectly transport transportation materials from the port to the construction area.

Moreover, due to the local political turmoil, in order to prevent accidents from happening,China has also independently established its own material transportation team.

In order to adapt to local climate issues, when designing,The Chinese engineering team designed the dam into an earth rock dam,High strength reinforced concrete.

This design not only greatly enhances the strength of the dam, but also uses local clay and stones,It also effectively reduces construction costs.In this way, with the unremitting efforts of the Chinese engineering team,The world's largest hydropower station was finally officially delivered in 2009.

This dam now also has a very loud name calledMerowe Dam,Merowe DamThe total length is over 9000 meters,Three times more than the Three Gorges Dam,The water storage capacity has reached 12.45 billion cubic meters,With over 4 million kilowatts of power generation capacity. For Sudan, which is extremely scarce in electricity resources,This hydropower station is no exaggeration to say that it also provides them with a "source of life"

Not only that, this hydropower station not only meets the domestic electricity resources of Sudan, but also allows them to have surplus energy to export to other neighboring countries,This move can be said to have driven most countries around Africa.

And because the construction of the dam has raised the water level around the Nile River,This has also led to free irrigation conditions for millions of acres of land around the dam.

Agriculture in Sudan accounts for a quarter of the country, and more than half of the population is engaged in agricultural activities. This dam has solved the difficulties of local land irrigation and effectively promoted the agricultural development of the Sudan region, solving the problem of local food shortage.

From this perspective, whether it is in terms of livelihood issues or national construction and development,Merowe DamThis is also like when His Majesty the First Emperor built the Great Wall, and His Majesty the First Emperor once saidThe success of building the Great Wall lies not in the present day, but in future generations.And nowThe achievement of building this "Great Wall on Water" in New China not only benefits today, but also extends to future generations.

Chinese brands are resounding around the world

It is precisely because of the construction of the world's largest water dam that its construction alsoLet all Africa see China's sincerity and technology,Although China is still a developing country today, we are on par with developed countries in terms of technology and economic development.In less than 100 years since our founding, we have developed from a poor and backward country to the current level.

It relies on the wisdom and efforts of the working people, and it is precisely because we are,Amidst one difficulty after another, constantly groping and overcoming numerous difficulties has led to continuous self-improvement,The difficulties and obstacles that we overcame have achieved our current achievements, as we have accumulated rich experience in our subsequent development.

Merowe Dam,6.5Even in the face of such a stable and unprofitable business, China still took over.

The fact also proves that China has taken a very correct path,The subsequent cooperation with China from the African region was sufficient to make up for the losses this time.This construction has also made us an international partner with Sudan, and the construction of the world's largest hydropower station has also made China's technology fully visible internationally.

Nowadays,This hydropower station has also become China's "golden sign" internationallyBecause there are countless collaborations with China for this hydropower station.

Those countries that mocked China for not completing this task and waited for us to laugh at them may have also been shocked. When inviting a group of Western countries for bidding in Sudan back then, China's technology was not as advanced as it is now.At the time of bidding, China was only ranked second and there was also a major Western country.

But in the end, this project fell into the hands of China,The reason is that the Western power discovered that the project was very difficult after inspecting the Sudan region,Designers in Western countries believe that,It is simply impossible to complete this projectSo they abandoned this cooperation.

epilogue

It was because of their abandonment of the book list that we had to turn this cooperation to China, and it was precisely because of their abandonment that we were given the opportunity to achieve ourselves.China is under pressure from the world to make jokes and complete the construction of this dam.

And later Sudan did not forget China's help, and later Sudan and China established many aspects of cooperation internationally, including in terms of international political stance,Sudan has expressed strong support for China.

Recently, due to the issues of the "One China Principle" and the "China Taiwan Strait Issue", China and many other countries in the international community were unhappySudan also immediately expressed its unwavering support for the One China principle.

Sudan has also allowed many Chinese companies to invest in their country and has also obtained mining rights for many minerals. So, the achievements of a country's infrastructure projects will not only be present, but also extend to future generations. Now it seems that the wisdom of our ancestors is truly extraordinary. It is estimated that the country that gave up this project in the first place is also regretful.
