4 billion to build a dam on the yellow river, why some Chinese insist on blowing it up? CNMega 2024-08-26 | The Sanmenxia Dam, built in 1961, was once considered a major engineering achievement in China, but it has also brought significant problems, including sedimentation and flooding in upstream areas. The dam was built to control floods in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but it has caused frequent floods in Shaanxi Province, resulting in billions of yuan in economic losses. Despite its success in controlling floods downstream, the dam's negative effects have led to public doubts and calls for its demolition. The Sanmenxia Dam's story reflects the complexities and challenges of large-scale water conservancy projects and the need for scientific planning and comprehensive consideration.
China Unveils Lunar Base Construction Tech! Future Moon Homes May Be Just a Bag Away CNMega 2024-08-23 | China's lunar base construction technology has been disclosed, with plans to build a permanent scientific research base on the moon by 2030.

China develops unsinkable carrier, mastering fortification tech, boosting South China Sea presence. CNMega 2024-08-16 | China has broken through the core technology of fortification, turning South China Sea islands and reefs into underground fortresses. The plan involves injecting cement slurry into the ground to create an indestructible cement wall, allowing for the construction of multi-layer tunnel buildings. This will enable China to hide more military deployments underground, making the islands and reefs "unsinkable aircraft carriers." The fortification deployment is similar to Dongyin Island, which has been built into a strategic island armed to the teeth. The artificial islands in the South China Sea, such as Zhubi Island and Yongshu Island, are expected to be built into underground fortresses, providing a strong defense capability and extending the life of equipment.
What happened?Chinas largest commercial space rocket exploded! CNMega 2024-08-14 | China's largest commercial space rocket, Tianlong-3, exploded during a test launch on June 30. The rocket was developed by Beijing Tianbing Technology Co., Ltd. and was intended to be used for China's satellite Internet constellation. The explosion was caused by a structural failure during a hot test of the rocket's first-stage nine-machine parallel power system. Although the incident was unfortunate, it is not uncommon for rockets to explode during the test phase. SpaceX, a leading private aerospace company, has also experienced several explosions during its testing phase. Tianbing Technology has vowed to investigate the cause of the failure and correct the problem. The company hopes to continue its mission to conquer the aerospace industry and provide a cost-effective and reliable launch service for China's satellite Internet constellation.
Huangyan Islands exposed land could become a super island for 200,000 people if reclaimed. CNMega 2024-08-12 | Huangyan Island, a large natural island in the South China Sea, has exposed a large area of land above the water, making it suitable for land reclamation. If reclaimed, it could become a super island accommodating 200,000 people. The island has a strategic location, rich resources, and a solid geological structure, making it an ideal location for China's maritime defense and economic development. However, the complex international situation, including the Philippines' claims and the US's involvement, poses a challenge to China's plans to develop the island. China has the technology and ability to reclaim the island, but needs to find a favorable opportunity to do so.
Russia & North Korea signed Tumen deal, China & Russia swapped land, debating sea access. CNMega 2024-08-09 | Russia and North Korea signed an agreement to build a highway bridge over the Tumen River, which could help China's Northeast region access the Sea of Japan. The bridge is expected to be built near the existing railway bridge on the Tumen River. China, Russia, and North Korea have been discussing the issue of opening the Tumen River estuary, which has been delayed due to geopolitical tensions. However, with the changes in the international situation and Russia's geostrategic strategy, this issue has finally had new hope. The Tumen River Bridge will be dismantled and rebuilt to facilitate the three parties to go to the sea through the Tumen River.
The era of the Hungary-Serbia railway has begun! CNMega 2024-08-07 | The Hungary-Serbia Railway, connecting the two capitals, was once the slowest in Europe, with a commuting time of up to 8 hours. However, with China's help, the railway has been upgraded to a high-speed line with a maximum speed of 200 km/h. The project was launched in 2013 as part of China's Belt and Road Initiative. Despite EU countries' initial reluctance, China's infrastructure expertise and lower costs won out. The railway's Serbian section was opened to traffic in 2022, and the Hungarian section is expected to be completed in 2025. China's high-speed EMU entered Europe for the first time in June 2024, marking a major breakthrough in the export of Chinese high-end rail transit equipment.

Three Gorges Dam in crisis? 1.8 billion tons of silt accumulated. Can China find a solution? CNMega 2024-08-03 | The Three Gorges Dam, a key water conservancy project in China, is facing a governance crisis due to 1.8 billion tons of silt accumulated since its construction in 2006. The silt, which comes from human activities such as deforestation and soil erosion, threatens the dam's stability and flood control capacity. China must address this issue through a comprehensive and systematic solution, including sediment management, ecological restoration, and technological innovation. The country can also utilize the silt as a resource, turning it into building materials or using it for agricultural production. Ultimately, China must establish a unified management mechanism for the entire river basin to ensure the long-term stability of the Three Gorges Project and the safety and well-being of the basin.
