Happy Tycoon

Zaisangbo, also known as Zaisang Lake, is located in the upper reaches of the Irtysh River and is a typical freshwater huffing and puffing lake.

The Irtysh River, which originated on the border between China and Mongolia, flowed more than 500 kilometers in Xinjiang Province of China, and finally broke through the mountain blockade between the Altai Mountains and the Talbahatai Mountains in northern Xinjiang, roaring all the way. Entered the Jaisang Basin, and formed a lake about 110 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide in this basin.

This lake is Jaisangpo.

Before 1959, the area of ​​Jaisangpo was only about 1,800 square kilometers, with an average depth of about 5 meters. After the clear water of the Irtysh River rushed out of the surrounding mountains, it settled down here, making this Zaisangpo a well-known place of plenty.

This area with abundant water and grass has been part of China’s territory for thousands of years. However, in October 1864, China and Russia signed the "China-Russia Survey of the Northwestern Boundary", and Russia used diplomatic fraud to misinterpret the "China-Russia Beijing Treaty" "Relevant content, and threats of force, eventually ceded a total of 440,000 square kilometers of land to the east of Balkhash Lake and the north and south of Zaisangpo.

Since then, this great river and mountain has become a bear's territory.

After the October Revolution in Russia, the Red Giant stood up and prepared to build reservoirs and hydropower stations on the upper reaches of the Irtysh River to make use of the abundant water resources in the upper reaches of the Irtysh River.

The project began in 1953, and the construction of a dam was started about five kilometers upstream of the Irtysh River town of Serebryansk. This dam is a concrete gravity dam with a maximum height of 90 meters and a crest of 380 meters. On the east side of the dam, there is a one-way four-level ship lock.

The dam was completed in 1959. After the completion of the dam, the 330 kilometers upstream of the dam, including Jaisangpo, formed a new and huge reservoir called Buchta. Mar Reservoir.

With an area of ​​5490 square kilometers, the Buchtamar Reservoir is the largest artificial reservoir in Kazakhstan and the fifth largest artificial reservoir in the world. Even in the former Soviet Union, this reservoir is second only to the Kubyshev Reservoir with an area of ​​6,450 square kilometers in the middle reaches of the Volga and the lower reaches of the Kama River, ranking second among all artificial reservoirs in the former Soviet Union.

After the completion of the Bukhtamar Reservoir, the average water depth of Jaisangpo increased from 5 meters to 12 meters, and the deepest area of ​​the entire Bukhtamar Reservoir was also as deep as 80 meters. The total storage capacity of the entire reservoir was as high as 49.6 billion cubic meters. It is more than 10 billion cubic meters more than the capacity of the China Three Gorges Reservoir.

Now, Yang Jing and the others are driving in the Bukhtamar Reservoir.

Although it is also surrounded by mountains, the Bukhtamar Reservoir is much wider than the Ust-Kamenogorsk Reservoir just past. Just after driving out of the gorge where the reservoir is located, the front is A huge water surface with a width of more than ten kilometers. This water area is only a small part of the entire reservoir, but it can fit the entire Tianqu city area!

Yang Jing has seen the largest lake in the world-the Caspian Sea before, and has also been to the Xiaolangdi Reservoir, and even made a crash landing in the Toledo Bend Reservoir in the United States. He is also very knowledgeable.

Although the water of the Caspian Sea is also very clear, it is a salt lake after all, so the color of the water is more inclined to the ocean, which is the kind of blue. Although the water in the Xiaolangdi Reservoir and the Bend Reservoir in Toledo are quite clear, it is still far behind the water in the Buchtamar Reservoir.

The water in this reservoir is extremely clear. Under the sunlight, fish swimming three or four meters underwater can be seen clearly. After all, this is the upper reaches of the Irtysh River. The clear snow-capped meltwater has hardly experienced any pollution and gathered here, so the water here is naturally very clear.

(PS: Speaking of clear and clear water, Lao Mo suddenly remembered his trip to Sichuan and Shu last year. At that time, Lao Mo went to Jiulong County, a subordinate of Kangding, a small county surrounded by mountains and the county government was three kilometers above sea level. In Jiulong County, there is a newly-developed scenic spot called "Wuxu Sea View Area". The scenery there is really original ecology, surrounded by snow mountains, and the melting water flowing down from the snow mountains is really clear and clean. Clean, Lao Mo poured a jar of water and drank it directly, it was so sweet...)

And although it has entered October, the temperature has become quite low, but there are still a lot of green in the mountains around the reservoir. Those lush green mountains and the clear and calm reservoir that look like a mirror add radiance to each other. How can the scenery be one? Can the word "beauty" be described?

"The scenery here is great! If it weren't for many things, I really want to live here for three or five years!" Yang Jing stood on the deck, enjoying the surrounding scenery happily, breathing greedily. With the clear air, he couldn't help but admire.

Old Iwan smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, have you seen a better view? We are here by sailing this time. If you are willing to stay a little longer, we can turn east from the fork in the front of the reservoir. After finding a dock, you take a helicopter to Zilyanovsk to the east, and then set off from that city to the east to the Katkaragay National Nature Reserve. The scenery there is more beautiful than here! Of course, We can also continue on, and when we reach the corner of the reservoir, we will stop at Veliky Naremskoye, and from there we can rent a car to go to Katakakarage."

"Yeah? Is the view of that reserve good?"

"Very good. Although it is not the best time to travel, it is also very good to see more snow-capped mountains now."

After a pause, the old Ivan continued to introduce: "This reserve was established in 2001, covering an area of ​​close to 650,000 hectares. It is a typical mountain-forest-meadow-grassland compound national forest park. There are many tourists visiting each year. Many of you in China also travel by car every year."

"Well, if we have time, let's go over and take a look." Yang Jing said after hesitating slightly. Although this time out is mainly for tourism, it is still very important to find the whereabouts of that batch of gold, and Yang Jing does not want to delay business by visiting that country's nature reserve.

Old Ivan nodded, and then pointed to the east bank of the lake and said, "Have you seen that small city? That is the new city of Bukhtamar. The railway line from the Oskemen passes through this small city. The terminus of this railway is Zilyanovsk, which I mentioned just now. Many mineral deposits have been found around that city, so it is also a city dominated by metallurgy. But from that city, you can go deep into There are many beautiful scenery in the Southern Altai Mountains to the east."

Yang Jing looked in the direction pointed by the old Ivan and found that the reservoir suddenly stretched far and far east from that location, and it was estimated that it would have to be at least 30 kilometers long. However, in the distance, you can still see the faintly shining light. Obviously, there are a lot of mineral resources in that area.

"This section of the reservoir was formed with the help of a section of the Perezovka River, a tributary of the Irtysh River. Our boat is a little bigger. If it is smaller, we can go directly along the river to Zilyanovsk."

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's walk straight along the reservoir honestly. By the way, where is the big Naremskoye you just mentioned?"

"In the crooked part of the reservoir about 75 kilometers ahead, it is a famous tourist city. Every year, many people visit that city for sightseeing."

The corner of the reservoir that the old Ivan said was the first big turn in front of the Bukhtamar Reservoir. The Bukhtamar Reservoir is too big, and its length alone is 330 kilometers. Because this section of the reservoir is formed by the channel of the Irtysh River, in the front, the direction of the reservoir will be from the current northwest— -The southeast direction makes a big bend of more than 100 degrees, and then the direction of the reservoir will change to a northeast-southwest direction.

The location of the Grand Naremskoye is about 80 kilometers away from the Bukhtamar Hydropower Station. That is to say, when you reach the city upstream, you basically have walked a quarter of the entire reservoir. Distance.

This wide area of ​​water happens to be located at the confluence of the Irtysh River and the Perezovka River, so after the formation of the reservoir, the width of this area of ​​water has become extremely wide. As far as the entire Bukhtamar Reservoir is concerned, this area The width of the water area is second only to the area of ​​Zhai Sangbo~www.readwn.com~ The length of this water area is also more than 30 kilometers. After driving through this water area, it will enter the relatively narrow reservoir water area again. The mountains on the side have also become more.

More than an hour later, when the Siberian Endeavour sailed through this wide water area and was about to enter the relatively narrow water area, Yang Jing inadvertently glanced at it with the Sky Eye skill, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

When entering the narrow waters from this wide area of ​​water, there is a large mountain with an altitude of more than 800 meters on each side of the reservoir, guarding it like two door gods. The reservoir suddenly narrowed from 78 kilometers wide between the two mountains to only 1.5 kilometers wide, as if it was a throat area.

This is actually the lingering vein of the Altai Mountains. The altitude of the peaks is generally more than 600 meters, and these two mountains are two to three hundred meters higher than the other peaks, so they are extremely eye-catching.

And under the big mountain in the West Bank, Yang Jing saw a red light faintly leaking from the bottom of the water.

In fact, Yang Jing didn’t even realize that there would be treasures here. At first he thought he was dazzled, but when he did not believe in evil, he used the Sky Eye skills to observe carefully, and then he confirmed that the mountains from the West Bank At the bottom, there is indeed a faintly visible light emerging!

PS: I would like to bow to thank "w a gentle knife" for the reward of 100.
