11th: "Pan Jixun of the Ming Dynasty."

At this time, Pan Jixun displeased Emperor Wanli by writing a letter to him to plead for Zhang Juzheng's family. He was then impeached for "being a clique of traitors, slandering the emperor and deceiving the monarch". Emperor Wanli was furious and stripped him of his official position and demoted him to a commoner.

Hearing Tianmu calling him, he was stunned for a moment, and the people around him hurriedly pushed him and said, "Mr. Pan, Tianmu is calling you."

Pan Jixun then stood up in a hurry and said, "Greetings, Miss Zhou. I want to ask how the later generations treated the rivers? How can the flooding of rivers be completely cured?"

When the people around heard this, they burst into tears. Even though Mr. Pan was dismissed from his post, he was still concerned about the management of rivers.

Li Dong, Dong Zixing, Cai Xizhou and Chang Jujing in the court immediately wrote to Emperor Shenzong requesting the restoration of Pan Jixun's official position.

Naturally, political opponents tried their best to stop him, saying that since they had already asked how rivers would be managed in later generations, then other people could follow the management methods of later generations, and there was no need to use Pan Jixun.

Li Dong angrily denounced his absurdity: "Can anyone manage rivers? Even if future generations come up with management methods, people who don't understand water conservancy can still mess things up!

How will the rivers of later times be like? How will the rivers of our present be like? Can we just apply them mechanically? "

The two factions quarreled fiercely in the court

Pan Jixun and Zhou Jinyu knew nothing about this, and Zhou Jinyu even took the opportunity to search for the name.

This man worked on river management four times in his life, for a total of nearly 4 years. He worked tirelessly, went to construction sites many times, and proposed comprehensive management principles for the Yellow River, Huai River and Yun River.

The results of his four river control projects were remarkable, especially the proposal of the theory of restraining water and attacking sand, which had a profound impact on river control work for more than 300 years after the Ming Dynasty.

H. Engels, a hydraulic expert from the Land of Hops, praised him: Distinguishing the purpose of remote dikes is to prevent collapse, while the purpose of thread dikes is to restrain water, which is a method of river management and diversion, is very reasonable.

After reading the introduction, Zhou Jinyu couldn't help but stand in awe. This was a real water conservancy expert! But she was completely clueless about such a professional and grand issue as river management.

But don't worry, the advantage of the developed Internet world is that you can find the information you want without leaving home.

Zhou Jinyu said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know the answer to this question either. Why don't we look for some video materials together? If you don't understand one, we can watch the second and third one until we can solve your problem."

Pan Jixun was extremely grateful.

Each dynasty was even more excited. Since ancient times, river bursting and diversion have been two major problems in river management. Now that we can see how rivers are managed in later generations, how can we not be excited!

Since future generations will be so powerful and prosperous, all kinds of magical machines will surely be able to solve the problems of rivers!

So they prepared to record.

The Song Dynasty's Kaifeng City, whose capital is located closest to the Yellow River, trembles every time the Yellow River floods. Zhao Kuangyin feels that there are too many surprises tonight. First, there are many talents, and now there is the most important river management~~~

Zhao Kuangyin was full of confidence: The fate of our Song Dynasty will definitely change!

Even Kangxi and Yongyan, who were so busy that they couldn't stop, had to pause. The management of the Yellow River has always been a major national event throughout history!

The people were even more focused. Whether it was the Yellow River or other rivers, flooding and diversions caused serious disasters to the people.

If there is a way they can also do to manage the rivers, they must act!

Zhou Jinyu found the video with the highest number of views and watched it with everyone.

[In ancient China, there were more than 2000 recorded floods and droughts, making China one of the countries with the most flood and drought disasters in the world.]

[But for thousands of years, we have never stopped fighting against floods and droughts. ]

[Even in today's era of unprecedented technological prosperity, why is it so difficult to manage rivers? What exactly happened behind the surging rivers? Let's go to the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research. ]

【You will see the answer to the question in this video. 】

All dynasties were shaken, so the problem can be solved?

"Look, this is the Water Conservancy and Hydropower Research Institute! This is a department in the future that specializes in water conservancy research. Water conservancy is understandable, but what is hydropower?"

"Is this electricity the electricity used for lighting and various purposes in later generations? And when it is linked to water conservancy, does it mean that water can also generate electricity?"

"That makes sense, if that's the case, could we get electricity from water as well?"

"Not likely." Someone shook his head. "Think about it. Even if we get this electricity, how can we store it? How can we use it? We don't have those tall, self-moving machines, so it's even more impossible for us to get this electricity."

People suddenly fell silent.

Some are optimistic: "Even if we can't get electricity, we can still learn from the experience of managing the Yellow River in later generations."

Yes, this is the most important thing.

People quieted down again and continued to look at the sky.

[First, let’s start with the Yangtze River, which has the largest volume of water, the longest length, and the widest drainage basin in China.]

【Its annual runoff accounts for 36% of the total runoff of China’s rivers. 】

The mountains and rivers are clearly visible on the three-dimensional map on the sky curtain. The Yangtze River and its tributaries are spread all over the earth like blood vessels in the human body.

The map shows a column of water standing tall on the Yangtze River's annual runoff, with the words "9800 billion cubic meters" written next to it. In comparison, the annual runoff of the Yellow River next to it is only 3 billion cubic meters.

Even someone who has never seen a bar chart can understand its meaning.

Many people drew it quickly, and such a picture can really be understood at a glance!

And it can be used in all aspects.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: Too amazing! Too incredible!

Pan Jixun hurriedly wrote down these key words: What is annual runoff?

Year, runoff, volume!

Could it be that this refers to the amount of water that flows through a river each year?

Pan Jixun was shocked. If this was true, then how did people in later generations measure the flow of river water?

How to measure such a huge river?

But once we know the annual runoff of each river, can't we use it to predict the arrival of floods? !

The more Pan Jixun thought about it, the more excited he became. He wished he could catch Zhou Jinyu right away and ask him everything.

If Zhou Jinyu knew what he was thinking, he would say with a bitter face: "Ancestor! I don't know either!

The sources of this knowledge are basically information on the Internet. Anything more specific is confidential!

Moreover, the information searched online may not be correct, and many people in the comments of these videos point out that certain parts are wrong.

There are also many marketing accounts that add a lot of exaggerated points just for traffic. This kind of extremely professional and serious information can only be explained clearly by professionals and professional books..."

Meng Tian's focus was on the three-dimensional map with mountains and rivers.

The map of a country can be easily seen, and the tributaries on it are clearly known to people in later generations.

The most important thing is that compared to the mystery of current maps, people in the future can easily see the detailed map of the world...

Meng Tian couldn't help but think, this map is so easy to obtain, what if someone with ulterior motives uses it to do damage?

Wang Jian heard his concerns and said, "Since people in later generations can do this, then his country must have thousands of strategies to deal with it. What you can think of, can they not think of it?"

Meng Tian nodded, he was just blinded by one thing.
