00:00What a shock. This must be the most profitable project in the world.
00:04It's known as the money printing machine, generating a whopping 40 billion yuan annually.
00:09It's not just China's top-tier hydraulic project, but also a marvel in global hydraulic history.
00:16It is the gigantic monster constructed by China over 12 years, the Three Gorges Dam.
00:21The total construction cost reaches 200 billion RMB.
00:24Using a gravity dam structure, it consumed 26.89 million tons of concrete and 290,000 tons of steel.
00:32Its scale and cost are staggering.
00:34It generates an annual electricity output of 100 billion kilowatt hours.
00:38Not only does it effectively prevent floods, but it also provides crucial water resources for agriculture.
00:44Its impact is immeasurable, making it a cornerstone of the nation.
00:48American experts daydream about destroying China by targeting the Three Gorges Dam.
00:53If the Three Gorges Dam were destroyed, 39.5 billion cubic meters of water would rush out instantly.
00:59However, the dam's defense system is impregnable.
01:03Inflicting substantial damage would require simultaneously dropping over 60 nuclear bombs and hitting accurately.
01:10The Three Gorges Dam is not only the world's largest concrete gravity dam, but also the largest hydroelectric power station.
01:18Have you ever witnessed such a miraculous engineering feat?
