NIIIC Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I saw a TV doc about a new dame they are going to build in China on the Yang Ze river. It will be the biggest in the world. The lake it will create will be more than 500 KM wide, 165 meters deep; will drown more that 360 villages and 30 towns. It will be finished in 2009. The mass of water will be so big that it will change the axe of the earth (a bit like the Tsunami earth quake), and it will slow down the rotation of the earth, a year will be one second longer!Do you imagine the amount of water that means, and the power it will represent, China won't need to by any power in 10 years. But the bad thing about that is that because of the corruption in the country or some thing like that, the government decided to not use the best quality cement, but a lower grade one. Do you imagine what will happen if it happened to break... Do you think the earth will start spinning like a spinning top...
Skynxnex Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I hate to say it but yes China will need to buy more power in the future. China still needs oil to power trucks and cars. This dam alone wont be enough to simply make all of China's energy needs disappear overnight. As for the slowing down of the rotation and so on...I dont know much about that so I cant comment on it myself. http://img30.echo.cx/img30/2519/yodavspals4fr0gi.gif

Mad78 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Amazing!China always needs more power. they are growing very very fast. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance
NIIIC Posted May 5, 2005 Author Posted May 5, 2005 I hate to say it but yes China will need to buy more power in the future. China still needs oil to power trucks and cars. This dam alone wont be enough to simply make all of China's energy needs disappear overnight. I was exaggerating there, of course they will still need full of stuff. What really scares me is the thing about the cement. How can you build such a dangerous thing and not assure it. But I suppose that after all, we will just need to open a "China's Tsunami fund" if it came to brake.
kaja Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Yeah, I heard of that, on TV about a year ago. Hope it dosn't break. http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s152/Dave-Mastor/Cluster6.jpg
Darktrooper Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 If that cement is as bad quality as we think, I don't want to be in China when this thing goes down. "May the force be with the pizza guy. I want it in less that 30 mins or less." You can kill me later, thank you. I want you to join KoC.
kaja Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Remind me to place the C4 When it's done. http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s152/Dave-Mastor/Cluster6.jpg
NIIIC Posted May 5, 2005 Author Posted May 5, 2005 I don't think you will need C4; a simple Chinese banger would be enough.
Darktrooper Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 or a pipe-bomb. "May the force be with the pizza guy. I want it in less that 30 mins or less." You can kill me later, thank you. I want you to join KoC.
Mad78 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 I guess they will put up a sign saying."Please do not kick the dam.

Throngrik Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 LOL Mad! But maybe it's not such a bad thing? At least for insurers, anyone entering china from a certain date could be made to buy compulsory life insurance! Hey, career project change for me! Throngrik
Mad78 Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Throngrik!!! i see you have started to explore other forum threads You could also develop a major buisiness buy flying people from such societies as EXIT who want to commit suicide over to china and then bring the body back. That would double the earnings. Then when you have enought cash you simply build another dam somewhere else http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance

Krytos Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 Construction Manager:"Well, as you can see this dam is state of the art.

Mad78 Posted May 8, 2005 Posted May 8, 2005 The week before the planning of the dam the architects decide to first build a bridge across the bridge to help the constructionLead Architect: Okay, so we must build this bridge. Now what are the measures of the river?Assistant: Well the river is 550km in lengh.L. A. : i see... How wide?A: 20 yards.L. A. : Okay thats settles it! We shall build the bridge across it. Two weeks later after failing in their plan to build the bridge using the surplus of the local chopstick shop, the Architects have had to resign themselves to build it with palm trees.They are now planing the dam.L. A.: Okay so how much will the High-class titanium reinforced and diamond encrusted concrete that chinese governement asked us to use cost to import?A: I just received an estimation by mailThe assistant rips open the enveloppe pulls the sheet ut and faints.L.A. : Oh Shit! Several months later the chinese governement come for the inoguration of the dam.The Lead Architect turns towards his assitant and whispersL. A. : So did you manage to finish it?A: Don't worry boss. i asked my cousin Larry. He set up something with a bit of wood and plaster. It will hold while they are here.L.A. : Good. What is the president going to do now?A : Oh well he is going to take that big 5 liter bottle of champagne and smash it against the... OH F***!!!The Assistant runs away for reasons that will become apparent to the Laed Architect in a few seconds. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance
