The construction of the Babanxia Hydropower Station began in the late 1960s on the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Lanzhou, Gansu Province. It was not until the mid-1970s that the first unit was put into operation. It took more than six years in total. It was just established in New China.
In that era when everything was waiting for things to be done
, it can be said that the construction of such a large-scale hydropower station was almost done at the speed of New China. It was very powerful. By the early 1980s, all five units of the entire hydropower station were in operation, supplying electricity to the surrounding areas of Gansu and the northwest region.
Made a considerable contribution.
The Babanxia Hydropower Station is a hub-type power station spanning both sides of the river. It is composed of a barrage and a flood and sand discharge gate. It is about 400 meters long and more than 40 meters high. The water of the Yellow River is left from the upper reaches and slowly passes through the Babanxia
hydropower station.
The Babanxia Hydropower Station has a very special feature, because the river needs to go around eight bends when it flows through the Babanxia. This is also the origin of the name of the Babanxia. After going around so many bends, there will be a lot of sediment.
Being carried away by the river water, it will produce a relatively strong impact when passing the hydropower station or cause the flood outlet to be blocked.
Because of the congestion, a large-scale dredging project will be carried out every one to two years at the Babanxia Hydropower Station to prevent water flow mixed with sediment from causing damage to the dam and floodgate. Fortunately, the hydropower station
In the 20 to 30 years since it was built, the hydropower station has never had any problems due to timely dredging.
The situation of the Yellow River this year is quite difficult. In May, heavy rains fell from the upper reaches to the source. It rained continuously for several days. The water level rose sharply and almost reached the warning level. Originally, in June this year
It was time to start dredging, but it had to stop due to heavy rains, so this year's dredging project is also quite laborious. The stronger the river surges, the more sediment it will bring, making dredging very cumbersome.
.
The first flood season of this year came a little early, and the dredging project was temporarily put on hold. By the end of May, it had not rained for many days and the sun was hot. It was estimated that the hydropower station was almost ready for dredging, so the flood discharge and drainage began. Unexpectedly,
What's more, starting from May, the lower reaches of the Yellow River began to experience drought again, and there was even a flow cutoff.
Some older people say that the Yellow River has not stopped this year. It is estimated that this is an uneasy year, and even many ancient villages on both sides of the Yellow River have begun to offer sacrifices to the river.
Offering sacrifices to rivers is an ancient tradition. Most people offer sacrifices to the river god, and some also offer sacrifices to the Sea Dragon King. But no matter which deity they offer sacrifices to, they only have one purpose. I hope there will be peace this year.
The Yellow River has a long history and has flowed for thousands of years. Countless descendants of China have been born on both sides of the Yellow River. So do you think the Yellow River has a river god or a dragon king? If you are someone who lives on the banks of the Yellow River, they will definitely tell you.
,must have.
The first flood season of the Yellow River came a bit early this year, a full month in advance. The explanation given by the meteorological department is that the source of the Yellow River is the melting of ice and snow in the Qinghai Bayan Har Mountains, coupled with heavy rains, which caused the flood season
It's ahead of schedule.
But the old people on the bank of the Yellow River said that this year is not peaceful. The river god and the Dragon King are not happy. If we don't sacrifice the river, I'm afraid the Yellow River will be in big trouble.
The process of offering sacrifices to the river may be simple or complicated, but generally, an incense table is set up by the river, and then all the men, women, and children in the village kneel down, burn incense, bow and pray, and then throw a few pigs, cattle, and sheep into the river.
It was enough to throw away living creatures, and some even more exaggeratedly threw away boys and girls. This situation became relatively rare after liberation.
Around the end of May, on both sides of the Yellow River from the upper reaches to the source, countless villages opened the river for sacrifices at about the same time, and countless living animals and tributes were thrown into the river.
, and there are surprisingly many of them.
The things that were sacrificed to the river and the sediment that poured down from the upper stream were all mixed together. In addition, this year's dredging had not yet begun, and gradually more and more debris accumulated above the Bapanxia Hydropower Station.
One day in early June, in the middle of the night.
In the Hydrological Observation Office of the Babanxia Hydropower Station, an observer was fiddling with his mobile phone with his head down, and then looked up at the monitoring screen on the computer from time to time. Since the flood has been released, the water level is now a little higher than normal, which is not considered high.
It was a very special situation, so the observer didn’t take it seriously and just chatted on WeChat with a woman I’d known for more than a month.
Why is it so cheap and stupid to chat on WeChat? Because this little observer named Tao Dehua is a warm-hearted man who is stupid and has a lot of money. He spends all the money he earns in a month on women, and even his money is tied up with his hands.
I have never touched them, and some of them have never even seen their faces.
A young girl I met this time, Tao Dehua, was always borrowing money. He had already borrowed more than 2,000 yuan in a month, and every time this chat friend asked him to borrow money, the reasons were surprisingly the same, but what about him?
What's amazing is that Tao Dehua actually believed them all.
"Husband, okay?"
Tao Dehua sent a smiley and hugging expression: "Honey, do you miss me?"
"Think about it"
"Where are you thinking? Where are you thinking?" Tao Dehua typed with a smile on his face.
"I hate...I won't tell you anymore."
"Wife, nothing else, nothing else, don't be angry, my husband is coaxing you."
"Well, my husband is so kind. Hey, my husband, I have something to tell you?"
"What's the matter?" Tao Dehua asked.
"That's what it is. My classmate Xiao Chen is going to have a baby. I have to join the family, but I haven't received my salary this month. Please give me some money."
The stupid Tao Dehua became a little shrewd this time, and asked very vigilantly: "No, what does your classmate Xiao Chen do? Her grandmother died when I first met you.
Her grandma died two weeks ago, her father died again last week, and today she is going to give birth to a baby? You really can't help but find a fortune teller for her. I have always thought that if she continues to die like this, her family will only have one household registration.
All the people have to die, I didn’t expect that no one died today, and they gave birth to children?”
"It's because he died too quickly, so I took the time to give birth to one." The other person was obviously a little anxious, and he was typing so fast. He probably couldn't deceive this little Tao Tao anymore.
Tao Dehua asked suspiciously: "It's okay to have a baby, so I'll go with you? Isn't this a happy event? I just want to be happy too."
"Husband, you don't believe me" came a crying emoticon from the other side.
Tao Dehua said firmly: "I have known you for more than a month, and you have spent more than two thousand yuan on me. Why don't I just meet you once? We are all called husbands and wives, and we are not allowed to know each other."
"You still don't believe me"
"This is not a question of belief or not. It is simply impossible for me to continue to talk to you in such a confused way. I must see you."
An angry expression was sent directly from the other side: "Brother, I don't have time to play with you, bye bye."
"I'm a fool." Tao Dehua was stunned for a moment. His hand trembled and the phone dropped to the ground. Then he looked up and saw the computer screen and said again: "I'm a fool."
