Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Tianmu’s introduction to Industrial Cthulhu continues.

A huge one appeared on the screen.

Awesome dam!
[This is the Aswan Dam in Egypt, which is famous all over the world and is included in textbooks.]

[After the completion of this dam, the electricity and water needs of Egypt were met at that time, which greatly increased Egypt's grain production, with wheat production increasing by 50%, corn production increasing by 60%, and rice production increasing by more than 400%.]

【It fed Egypt’s 1 million people at the time. 】

[The power generation capacity of this giant dam not only meets Egypt's national needs. ]

[It also allows Egypt to export electricity and earn foreign exchange to other countries.]

[So, how much electricity does the world-famous Aswan Dam generate? ]

【It is 100 billion kWh. 】

[How much power does the Three Gorges Dam, the most famous dam in my country, generate annually? ]

【900 billion kWh! 】

[my country's Three Gorges Dam has a power generation capacity nine times that of Egypt's Aswan Dam! ]

Outside the sky.

Yang Guang is a famous lover of wonders and large-scale engineering projects.

He saw shots of the Aswan Dam and the Three Gorges Dam on the sky screen.

I am deeply envious.

Although Yang Guang didn't know what electricity generation was.

But we also know that electricity is an important resource for future generations. Not to mention electricity, just this kind of giant dam can play an amazing role in regulating the climate and irrigating agriculture.

However, even Yang Guang, who was fond of showing off, knew it.

With the current strength of the Sui Dynasty,

It is impossible to build the Three Gorges Dam.

"Alas, the Sui Dynasty may not be able to build the Three Gorges Dam."

“But is there the capacity to build a dam like the Aswan Dam?”

"Maybe it's difficult? After all, the technology of the Sui Dynasty is not advanced enough."

“But is the Three Gorges Dam on the sky screen?”

"I don't think there's any need to brag."

"After all, if you look at the map, you can tell that China's area is more than nine times that of Egypt."

"As a result, the largest dam in China can only generate nine times as much electricity as the Aswan Dam in Egypt."

"This multiple seems ordinary."

"If it were me, I would just expand the size of the Three Gorges Dam tenfold."

"One Three Gorges Dam is equivalent to 100 Aswan Dams!"

"This is in line with China's status and position, and also in line with my style."

Yang Guang started to fantasize.

If I were the emperor of China in the future, how would I build the Three Gorges Dam?

And I feel that the 800 to 900 billion cubic meters of electricity generated by the Three Gorges Dam is not much.

And the sky continues.

Now let’s get to the point.

[So, what proportion of the electricity generated by the Three Gorges Dam, which has an annual power generation of nearly 900 billion, accounts for in the whole country? ]

Less than 1%.

[Yes, last year my country's total national power generation was more than 94000 trillion kWh! ]

[This does not include the fact that many large factories have their own power generation systems and are not connected to the national grid.]

[If these are taken into account, the power consumption figures will be even higher! ]

【看这张图可以看到在1994年，美国的发电量是34000亿度，比全球第2、3、4名加起来还多。】

[In 2022, China's electricity generation is 88000 trillion kWh, which is also more than the total of the world's 234 largest countries. ]

[And this even resulted in a power shortage! ]

Outside the sky, the ancient people were shocked.

Although Tianmu has not systematically introduced what electricity resources are.

But the ancients also knew that many advanced equipment in later generations could not do without electricity.

What about electric lights, televisions, trams, etc. As a result, the Aswan Dam can meet the electricity needs of Egypt, which has a population of 1 million.

Only a little more than 10% of the Three Gorges Dam?
And the Three Gorges Dam accounts for less than 1% of the country’s electricity generation?
Calculate the population mentioned by Tianmu before.

The population of China in later generations was only more than ten times that of Egypt.

As a result, the power generation capacity is almost 1000 times that of Egypt!
Ten times the population uses 10 times the electricity.

Even Yang Guang couldn't help but fall down on the dragon throne in shock.

A soul-searching question was raised:
"Why is China using so much electricity in this future?"

Next to Yang Guang was Yang Su, who was also shocked by the power generation of China in later generations and paid close attention to hydrology.

He speculated:

"So much power should only be used for lighting, right?"

"Otherwise, if we don't use so much electricity for lighting, what else would we use it for?"

The sky continues.

[As one of the important industrial materials, the price of 1 ton of sulfuric acid is only more than 200 yuan, which is much cheaper than 1 ton of pure water. ]

[And the price of 1 ton of hydrochloric acid is even negative. ]

[Not only hydrochloric acid, but many industrial products that can be used to make dangerous weapons have zero or even negative prices. ]

[For ordinary consumers like us who don’t have much contact with heavy industry on weekdays, the power of Industrial Cthulhu is also reflected in all aspects of life. ]

[This is a hair tie that girls often use. I bought it online. It costs 3 yuan for 60 pieces, free shipping, and you can return it within 7 days without any reason.]

[And in order to manufacture this thing, you need mines, refineries, power plants, steel mills, cement plants, plastic factories, machinery factories, parts manufacturing plants, textile factories, dye factories, leather factories, chemical fiber factories, cotton spinning mills, cotton gardens, rubber plantations, packaging factories, logistics companies...]

【Finally, you get 3 pieces for 60 yuan.】

[These are so-called disposable socks that I bought online on a certain platform. 】

【9 yuan, free shipping for 9 pairs. 】

[Then after I got it, I found out that it was actually made of pure cotton! ]

【As a result, the disposable socks became repetitive ones.】

[The factory building in front of us is a small thermos cup factory. ]

【Mainly produces thermos cups and other similar round steel pipe products. 】

[According to calculations, at current prices, it can produce a Sten submachine gun and sell it for only 16 yuan, and still guarantee a profit.]

[This is a bearing my grandfather picked up on the roadside during the Chinese New Year. ]

【The metal bearings are polished very smoothly and fit perfectly. 】

[He was an old worker back then. He picked up such a good bearing when he saw it, and said that it was a waste of such a good thing to put it on a broken toy.]

[Until I showed my grandfather the price of this metal bearing online, which was 4 cents each.]

【Last month, my family bought a car. It’s not a good car. The BYD car weighs nearly 2 tons and costs more than 7 yuan after subsidies. Such a car, which can run hundreds of kilometers on the highway, costs only about 20 yuan per kilogram on average.】

[Almost enough to buy a pound of Argentinian imported beef. ]

[While I was making the video, I ordered a takeaway worth more than 20 yuan. The spoon the store gave me was a 18 stainless steel spoon that was 0.3 cm long and 304 cm thick.]

……

Following the sharing of the video UP host, netizens also shared their own experiences.

"I watched this video while shopping in a supermarket. I bought three packs of hot pot base and got a hot pot pot for free."

"Indeed, sometimes these cheap products make me worry about how the merchants can make money with such low prices."

"Many small commodities with free shipping for 1 cent are definitely sold at a loss."

"But the advertising cards that come with small commodities are the source of profit for merchants."

"It's OK if you say the quality is really bad, but the key is that some of the things you buy are really useful. For example, those disposable socks and underwear, after wearing them a few times, you still don't want to throw them away!"

"Plus one, I now buy good underwear and cheap socks, I'm so happy. "

"I used to think that cheap products were not good, until I accidentally visited a 2-yuan store in Murakami."

"The 2-yuan stores here have all opened big supermarkets."

"I picked up trash at 1688 and bought me a 5-yuan rechargeable handheld vacuum cleaner with a type-c interface. This is outrageous!"

"Some products themselves do not make money, but they earn money from advertising and waste materials from the processing process."

"The stereo microscope I use in my lab costs 13 yuan. It works great, but it's too expensive. I bought a domestic microscope on Taobao for 300 yuan. After trying it, I found that it completely meets my needs. How can I use it? How can I not hate you, Cthulhu?"

"Cthulhu is so cruel to steal money from the pirate country!" (End of this chapter)
