When the Three Gorges Dam was planned to be built, many experts disagreed, because they did not want such a huge project to become a lever for the enemy to blackmail the war.
After all, such a huge reservoir capacity, once it is attacked devastatingly, the consequences are unimaginable, so in the end, the country still decided to build and successfully deliver this world-famous large-scale water conservancy project, must have planned how to solve the hidden problems that may arise.
In the face of a possible war in the future, what kind of self-protection capability will the Three Gorges Dam, the country's most important weapon, have, and how much loss will the mainland have if it is damaged by an attack?
The Three Gorges Dam is a huge project that challenges the limits of human beings, and it will also go down in history and set a record. The construction of the Three Gorges Project by the state is based on the consideration of benefiting the country and the people, alleviating energy, and reducing disasters and flood control during the flood season.
The huge dam with a water storage height of more than 176 meters and an astonishing storage capacity of 39 billion cubic meters is comparable to the Milky Way hanging upside down from the sky.
Some Western remarks have even openly stated that once a war breaks out, the Three Gorges Dam will become a key target for bombing, because as long as the Three Gorges Dam is destroyed, it will flood several southern provinces and affect many cities and towns in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and almost half of China will be thrown into panic.
The enemy's remarks, even with pride and threats, seem to have great confidence that they can achieve the goal of sabotage, but in fact this is only an illusion of the enemy, because China will not give any foreign enemy the opportunity to destroy the Three Gorges Dam on the mainland.
So some netizens and military fans said that if the enemy is scheming and wants to sabotage, it is not easy for the mainland to defend, and the vigilance and vigilance of a thousand days to prevent thieves will always have a time when they are sparse, and once the enemy takes advantage of the loophole, will it cause serious losses?
Some Western netizens have speculated that if the West attacks the Three Gorges Dam with long-range missiles, the Three Gorges will be blown up, and what will happen to China's losses? The West has used supercomputers to simulate that if the Three Gorges Dam is bombed and damaged at full water, the situation will be very terrifying, and many beautiful and prosperous cities and villages will be flooded, injuring tens of millions of people, and even affecting hundreds of millions of people.
And precisely because there is such a possibility in theory, the enemy is also very arrogant, believing that as long as he finds an opportunity to bomb important targets on the mainland, he can quickly control the wartime initiative, and even makes China have to compromise and make concessions because he is afraid that such a super project as the Three Gorges Dam will be damaged.
However, since the state dares to build such a project, it will inevitably consider the advantages and disadvantages clearly, and it will only decide to implement it when it is under the control of the state.
The total reservoir capacity of the Three Gorges is more than 39 billion cubic meters, of which the capacity of the flood control reservoir is very amazing, up to 22.15 billion cubic meters, and the dam has nearly 80 dam holes, which can quickly discharge floodwater, which also means that the high water level of the Three Gorges Dam can be emptied in advance when needed, and it takes 5 to 7 days to empty the water of the Three Gorges Dam in normal times, and if it is the season when the heavy rain lasts during the flood season, it takes up to 24 to 30 days to empty the water of the Three Gorges.
This is because if the enemy wants to make any abnormal moves, the mainland will inevitably detect it early, take defensive measures as soon as possible, and lower the water level of the Three Gorges as soon as possible, and it will also be able to deal with many possible hidden dangers.
Imagine if the reservoir area is not full of water, how can the enemy use the Three Gorges Dam to make a fool of himself?
In addition, the mainland's defense system and radar satellites, where the enemy dares to launch missiles, will inevitably make plans to protect the old nest, and the mainland's interception system and countermeasure capability will make the enemy pay a heavy price.
There is also speculation on the Internet that if the enemy sends terrorists in disguise, if they want to cause damage to the mainland's Three Gorges Dam, such hot topics have not attenuated their heat. If such a magnificent water conservancy project can be destroyed by only a terrorist carrying an explosives bag, then it is too much to underestimate the power of science and technology and planning to build this project on the mainland.
Although the design life of the Three Gorges Dam has not been publicly announced, it can be inferred that the design life of the Three Gorges Dam on the mainland is as long as 150 years, and it can withstand the changes in the earth's crust, extreme weather, and the four seasons of the cycle of time.
Even if there are extreme terrorists who can break through the defense line of security checks and heavy inspections and patrols, and run to the vicinity of the Three Gorges with an explosive bag on their backs, they will not be able to have a substantial impact on the mainland dam.
Even if the enemy wants to attack the Three Gorges Dam with drones, it is not feasible, and within a certain range, the safe duty area of the Three Gorges Dam, to put it mildly, is not easy for a fly to pass by.
If the state had managed the Three Gorges Dam in a special period of war, it would certainly not have created a situation that the enemy wanted, nor would the dam have been blackmailed by war.
