The geography of our country cannot be considered perfectThere are three main flaws。If these three shortcomings are remedied, China is truly the place to choose. What are these three flaws?
China's plains are mainly concentrated in North China, Northeast China, and the Yangtze River Delta, and the plain area is insufficient. The plains of the United States account for 50% of the area, while China has only 12%. If there is a contiguous large plain in Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and Guangdong, then China's developable land will be even greater.
This plain is composed of Yingtan, Fuzhou, Ji'an, Ganzhou, Yichun, Pingxiang and Nanchang in Jiangxi, Changsha, Zhuzhou, Hengyang, Xiangtan, Shaoyang, Chenzhou and Yongzhou in Hunan, Shaoguan in Guangdong, and Guilin and Hezhou in Guangxi. If this large area were plains, 200,000 square kilometers of plains could be added. The area of arable land will also increase, which can also reduce the pressure on arable land elsewhere.
Compared with the North China Plain, this large plain has sufficient water flow and irrigation capacity is much higher than that of the North China Plain. Compared to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, this large plain is surrounded by mountains and has natural barriers, so it is impossible for the enemy to easily penetrate it. Compared with the Northeast Plain, the temperature in this area is higher and the yield of farmland is higher.
The Tarim Basin is the largest desert in ChinaIt has plenty of sunlight, flat terrain and is suitable for farming, with the only drawback being the lack of water. If Qinghai Lake is in the Tarim Basin, or if there is a lake like Qinghai Lake in the Tarim Basin, then the Tarim Basin must be a rich land.
Suppose there is a lake such as Qinghai Lake in the Tarim Basin, and its water resources can be used for irrigation and plantingAt least 10% of the Tarim Basin could be turned into a grain-producing area。The Tarim Basin covers an area of 400,000 square kilometers, and 10% is 40,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the cultivated area of Jiangsu. Every year, it can add 70 billion catties of grain to our country, and our country's food is more secure.
In addition, with such a huge amount of water resources, coupled with the mineral resources of the Tarim Basin, many cities will also emerge here, which can accommodate a larger population. It can solve the tense situation between people and land in the interior.
Of course, it would be better if Lake Baikal was across the Tarim Basin**.
The Brahmaputra River is the fourth largest in terms of water flow, and all of the Brahmaputra flows through India to the Indian Ocean. If the Brahmaputra flows north, if not all,A portion of the flow flows northwards through the Qaidam Box to the Tarim Basin。That's the perfect geographic solution.
The Tarim box ground has plenty of sunlight, but the evaporation is largeOrdinary rivers enter the Tarim Basin and basically go and never return, which is why the Hotan River has failed to make the Tarim Basin green. But if there is half the flow of the Brahmaputra River, that can offset the evaporationThe excess water is used for greenery, irrigation, and the formation of one or more lakes。Coupled with the application of modern water conservancy projects, it is completely possible to form a huge oasis in the Tarim Basin and Qaidam.
In addition,Half of the water of the Brahmaputra River flows northward, and the remaining half flows to South Asia, which does not affect the geography of South Asia. So, if half of the water of the Brahmaputra flows northward, through the Qaidam Basin to the Tarim Basin, it is perfect.
Although there are many plains in the United States, because the central part is a big hole, the cold wave can cover the entire state of Texas, at least in China's two regions, which is rarely affected by this.
It can only be said that if the above three geographical defects can be solved, our country will be perfect.
