[00:00:39] China's Lu Hua Xiang Shan The home between mountains and rivers is exclusively sponsored by Lu Hua Peanut Oil [00:00:48] year of the construction of the Pinglu Canal. [00:00:51] 134.2 kilometers of navigation channel and three major hydraulic hubs will all be [00:00:55] completed . [00:00:57] The new water channel [00:00:59] at the end of the water [00:01:13] is about to be officially [00:01:17] opened [00:01:24] . But for the builders of the canal, the canal from scratch [00:01:29] is only the first step [00:01:31] . How to make ships accurately dispatch hundreds of thousands of tons of water each time [00:01:35] . How to let one 5,000-ton ship [00:01:39] successfully enter and exit the hub . The entire canal [00:01:42] system will undergo a final inspection [00:01:46] . The moment the engineers have been waiting for [00:01:50] has finally arrived [00:01:51] . [00:02:43] The 22nd China-ASEAN Expo is underway in Nanning, Guangxi [00:02:47] . In just three days, [00:02:50] more than 3,260 exhibitors from more than 60 countries [00:02:54] gathered here . Attracting [00:02:57] more than 220,000 people to participate on site [00:03:01] . People from all over China and ASEAN countries rushed here, bringing goods [00:03:05] and orders, and also bringing expectations for future cooperation [00:03:09] . [00:03:29] Seize this opportunity. ASEAN, an economy that is growing rapidly [00:03:33] , consists of 11 countries with a total population of over [00:03:37] 690 million , accounting for approximately [00:03:40] 6% of the global economy , and has been China's largest trading partner [00:03:44] for many consecutive years . This [00:03:47] region has a young population, a continuously expanding consumer [00:03:51] market, and abundant resources [00:03:54] , while China has the world's most complete [00:03:58] industrial manufacturing system [00:04:00] . It is precisely because of this mutual demand that a huge [00:04:04] industrial chain and trade network are becoming increasingly closely [00:04:08] connected . And how to make goods [00:04:11] reach each other faster and more economically . The opening of the Pinglu [00:04:15] Canal will provide a brand new answer [00:04:34] . Before the Pinglu Canal was completed , 300 kilometers [00:04:38] away, Changzhou Water Conservancy. Here [00:04:41] an important safety guarantee experiment is about to be conducted [00:04:44] . The Tengxian No. 03 with a displacement of 5,000 tons [00:04:48] , fully loaded with ore , enters the No. 3 ship lock [00:04:52] . It will be tested here as an important safety guarantee [00:04:55] of the Pinglu Canal . The ship [00:04:59] lock is key to solving the water level difference [00:05:03] in the canal , but it also [00:05:06] harbors huge risks . Once a 5-ton cargo ship enters the upstream [00:05:10] ship lock and loses control . [00:05:42] Therefore, the ship lock of the Pinglu Canal must have multiple [00:05:45] protections . As early as the beginning of construction, the Pinglu Canal [00:05:48] upgraded its materials , opting for higher grade steel [00:05:52] and thicker plates . Generally, ship lock materials [00:05:55] can withstand 30 tons of impact , which meets the conventional standard [00:05:59] . However, the Pinglu Canal will raise the protection standard [00:06:02] to 100 tons , but this is far [00:06:06] from enough . Today's [00:06:10] ... [00:07:12] Cargo ships must moor at designated positions as required [00:07:16] . To achieve this , it relies on the captain's accurate control [00:07:20] of the power system . But today the captain [00:07:24] will deliberately turn off the power system [00:07:26] . [00:07:28] 。 [00:07:38] No matter how strong the people are, they cannot withstand thousands of tons of cargo [00:07:42] . [00:08:57] The best outcome is that all risks are predicted in advance . In every [00:09:00] super project, true safety does not simply [00:09:04] come from a certain technology , it comes from the engineer's prediction [00:09:07] of every risk , and before completion [00:09:11] . [00:09:24] At the same time, another experiment is also being intensely tested in the waters at the mouth of the Pinglu Canal. A cargo ship loaded with 5,000 tons of plums is preparing to [00:09:28] leave the shore. This is not an ordinary plum transportation ship, its [00:09:32] hull is covered with dozens of detectors [00:09:34] . [00:09:37] And the destination of this trip is Qingzhou Port, a few kilometers away [00:09:40] . [00:09:45] In China's maritime regulations, inland river vessels are strictly prohibited [00:09:49] from navigating in the complex environment of the ocean [00:09:52] . This is not only due to driving experience [00:09:56] , but also various factors such as whether the ship itself has sufficient anti-corrosion [00:10:00] and anti-storm capabilities [00:10:03] . However, the Pinglu Canal is an exception [00:10:07] . Its destination is Qingzhou Port [00:10:11] , facing the open sea [00:10:40] . Today's experiment includes large-angle turns, linear acceleration [00:10:41] . [00:10:48] Several subjects such as sudden loss of power during sailing. Comprehensive examination of the structural stability of the hull of inland river vessels in [00:10:52] the marine environment . [00:11:10] This is the first time that a 5,000-ton inland river cargo ship has entered the waters of Qingzhou Port . The experiment [00:11:13] must be very careful . 32 [00:11:16] stress detectors collect hull deformation data in real time [00:11:20] , which is converted into computer-readable data through strain gauges [00:11:24] . [00:11:55] In order to prepare for the upcoming Pinglu Canal to enter the sea for [00:11:59] safe navigation assessment , Class A channel division and [00:12:03] legislation . These data [00:12:05] will create China's latest river-sea intermodal standard system [00:12:09] . And standards are never just technical details [00:12:13] . They determine where a ship can go [00:12:17] , and they also determine the cost at which a commodity can reach [00:12:21] any corner of the world . [00:12:33] Before the opening, Wang Jieyun came to Xinzhou Port Sea [00:12:36] to inspect the construction of the mooring area [00:12:52] . Basically, two to three can be guaranteed a day. The mooring area inspected by Wang Jieyun this time is located near the exit of the Pinglu Canal [00:12:56] and Qingzhou Port . This is [00:13:00] where all ships wait at sea before entering the canal [00:13:03] . Ships are secured by ropes in the mooring area consisting of 75 berthing [00:13:07] piles , reducing the impact [00:13:11] of complex offshore conditions on river ships . Wang Jieyun knows [00:13:15] that this place must not be taken lightly [00:13:17] . [00:13:22] If there was no mooring area , it would be here [00:15:08] . This is the first specialized grain transshipment terminal customized [00:15:11] by Qingzhou Port for the Pinglu Canal . Each grain silo can efficiently store [00:15:15] and transship 10,000 tons of grain . The terminal [00:15:19] has the capacity to simultaneously berth two 70,000-ton ocean-going grain bulk [00:15:23] carriers . When the Pinglu Canal opens, they [00:15:27] will become a key hub for efficient transshipment of bulk grain [00:15:30] at home and abroad . [00:15:33] In the near future , when the first ship truly enters ... [00:15:48] This is a huge ocean shipping network that can quickly connect [00:15:52] to the ocean shipping system . Containers and bulk cargo from Guangxi [00:15:55] , Yunnan, Guizhou , Chongqing, and Sichuan [00:15:58] and other broader regions in western China [00:16:02] will all be able to directly enter this port [00:16:06] along the Pinglu Canal [00:16:15] . Then from here, they will be transshipped efficiently to ASEAN and global markets. While Qingzhou Port is rapidly upgrading , the other end of the freight chain [00:16:19] is also undergoing changes . This [00:16:23] is Guiping, a shipyard that is located along the river [00:16:26] , where hundreds of ships are built and completed every year [00:16:30] . Now this shipyard has also felt the changes [00:16:34] . Order demand has increased from [00:16:37] the previous 2,000 to 3,000 ton ships to [00:16:41] 5,000 ton ships , especially new energy powered [00:16:45] ships, which have become the main product built here [00:16:48] . Today is especially busy [00:16:50] . [00:16:55] I'll take you to see [00:16:57] . [00:17:07] This 5,000-ton LNG-powered cargo ship customized by Li Yun [00:17:11] has completed its construction on land and is about to be launched [00:17:14] . This is a new energy powered cargo ship that took ten months [00:17:18] to build . Although the construction cost [00:17:21] is twice that of traditional diesel ships . But Li Yun [00:17:25] , who has 18 years of sailing experience, has his own plans [00:17:29] . It has a high cost [00:17:31] now [00:18:07] . is an important day [00:18:10] . [00:18:17] Six huge rubber airbags were inserted into the bottom of the 800-ton LNG-powered ship [00:18:21] . They were once [00:18:25] filled with high-pressure gas . Each [00:18:29] airbag can lift more than 100 tons of weight [00:18:31] . [00:18:35] Lifting this ship is just the beginning of the work [00:18:41] . They have to skillfully use these airbags to release [00:18:45] and inflate the air in turns [00:18:48] . Move the ship out of the berth and push it into the river little by little [00:18:51] . 12 people are divided into two groups, each person [00:18:55] speaks little, all relying on years of practiced experience and tacit cooperation [00:18:59] . [00:19:00] 。 [00:19:09] Four hours later, the bow was lifted high [00:19:12] , and the real danger was about to come [00:19:15] . [00:19:17] The ship that is launched for the first time will not have propellers and rudders [00:19:21] installed. Without power , the biggest risk [00:19:25] is the first minute after entering the water . The ship's anchor [00:19:29] must be dropped in time to prevent the ship from losing [00:19:32] control on the river [00:19:33] . [00:19:39] Today this waterway is a bit busy [00:19:42] . Everyone can only [00:19:45] wait [00:19:47] . [00:19:55] Half an hour later , the opportunity came [00:19:58] . [00:20:12] The workers at the bow promptly dropped two anchors [00:20:15] . [00:20:17] 。 [00:20:22] Everything went smoothly, and the ship was fixed in the river [00:20:25] . [00:20:28] Larger tonnage, higher efficiency , cleaner new ships [00:20:32] are launched, demonstrating the huge potential [00:20:35] of the Pinglu Canal's shipping [00:20:42] . The changes brought by the canal are not limited to industry and trade [00:20:45] . Along the canal, some people also [00:21:04] settle down and start businesses here. Although Xinjiang runs through it, Shi Lifen's [00:21:07] childhood memories did not contain many scenes about water [00:21:11] . My parents came here to do business very early [00:21:15] on [00:21:15] . [00:21:22] Eight years ago, Shi Lifen was about to get married [00:21:26] . Buying a new house was their top priority [00:21:29] . When she came to see the house, she went to the balcony [00:21:32] and looked down, wow, it was open. Immediately [00:21:35] . [00:21:39] Shi Lifen and his wife finally bought a river view house near Zicai Bridge [00:21:42] . Eight years later, today, Shi Lifen [00:21:46] is already a mother of two children . With [00:24:25] the same anticipation for this moment to arrive soon , there are also more people [00:24:28] along the canal [00:24:30] . [00:24:35] 12 kilometers away from Pinglu Canal, Yandun Town, Linshan County [00:24:38] . [00:24:45] Huang Pingxiu and his apprentice are preparing for an important [00:24:49] task [00:24:51] . They are making their best Yandun Drum for the opening of the canal [00:24:55] . This ancient art has been passed down in the local area [00:24:59] for over a thousand years [00:25:00] . [00:25:04] Drums were first used to transmit information and scare away beasts. Later, people began to use them to welcome spring [00:25:08] , worship ancestors, and celebrate harvest [00:25:10] . These days, Huang Pingxiu practices [00:25:14] and prepares every day , looking forward to [00:25:17] the future [00:25:33] . The opening of a canal changes more than just the shipping routes [00:25:36] of cargo ships . For the people along the line, they will [00:25:40] be connected to a larger coordinate system because of the canal [00:25:44] . More ships will come, and more [00:25:48] goods will pass through [00:25:52] . More and more people and enterprises will also settle here [00:25:56] because of this . For the people living here [00:26:00] , this will not only bring new jobs . [00:26:16] On July 4, 2026 , Typhoon Mesak [00:26:20] landed in Guangxi . It brought not only fierce [00:26:23] winds, but also greater pressure from continuous [00:26:27] rainfall . Guangxi experienced [00:26:31] a once-in-a-century extreme heavy rainfall [00:26:34] . A large amount of rainwater flowed into the Pinglu Canal and its upstream areas [00:26:37] . The cumulative water flow exceeded 700 million cubic meters [00:26:41] , which is equivalent to 50 West Lakes of water suddenly [00:26:45] rushing into the newly completed Pinglu Canal [00:26:48] in a short period of time . At this time, according to the Pinglu Canal [00:26:52] construction plan, it was about to prepare for the full-line ship trial [00:26:56] stage, but due to the arrival of Mesak , all work [00:26:59] was forced to stop . As the [00:27:02] rainfall increased, the floodwaters from the Xinjiang River flowed into the main channel [00:27:06] . [00:27:06] 。 [00:27:13] Waiting for the flood to arrive . [00:27:16] Facing the extremely severe heavy rainfall , the digital water system [00:27:20] began to play a key role . The water volume [00:27:23] at various parts of the canal navigation channel was accurately calculated and aggregated [00:27:27] to the digital water system center [00:27:31] . At the same time, through [00:27:43] what we see as a logistics and transportation channel, the canal [00:27:47] conceals a huge function that is not generally known [00:27:51] . [00:27:54] As early as its initial design, the Pinglu Canal served as a flood control and discharge function [00:27:57] for the Xijiang River system [00:27:59] . [00:28:40] A typhoon allowed all waterways, bridges, and hubs [00:28:44] and other core projects to be fully inspected [00:28:48] . Next, the testing work before opening can be fully carried out [00:28:52] . The development opportunity that everyone has been eagerly [00:28:55] awaiting is gradually appearing before everyone's [00:28:59] eyes . [00:29:02] This is Nanning Port, an important transfer port [00:29:06] where the Pinglu Canal connects to the Xijiang River [00:29:10] . A new rail-mounted gantry crane is undergoing [00:29:13] its final installation work [00:29:16] . [00:29:20] In the future, more containers and bulk cargo will be [00:29:23] directly transshipped onto cargo ships and sent along the canal [00:29:27] to Qingzhou Port at the estuary [00:29:30] . [00:30:35] Development opportunity. When transportation methods change , where to produce [00:30:39] will also be redefined . And the opening of the Pinglu Canal [00:30:43] brings more opportunities to enterprises [00:30:46] , and also brings more possibilities for upgrading [00:30:50] . An economic zone born because of the canal [00:30:54] is gradually emerging [00:30:55] . [00:31:00] It's less than 120 days until the canal officially opens [00:31:04] . Around the 22nd, let's get ready [00:31:06] . [00:31:15] Today, Cheng Yaofei came to the Qishi hub and entered this underground structure [00:31:19] that is about to be filled with water . This is his last [00:31:23] inspection of this underground waterway . We will conduct [00:31:27] a comprehensive inspection and elimination of potential hazards before this flood discharge [00:31:31] . That is, all the original ones have been inspected [00:31:33] . [00:31:38] We will integrate them in one direction [00:31:38] . [00:31:43] Today we see all of them. [00:32:15] Personnel cannot enter [00:32:16] . [00:32:21] This structure is the first time in China that a three-stage water-saving [00:32:24] lock structure has been adopted in water transport engineering [00:32:28] . After multiple design方案 changes, the painstaking research and development [00:32:32] of high-speed hoisting equipment , and the efforts of thousands of builders [00:32:36] for more than three years , it finally [00:32:39] transformed from paper to reality [00:32:42] . It is for water [00:33:15] . Now open the No. 1 water gate . The No. 1 water gate is opening . [00:33:18] 。 [00:33:23] The three discharge gates on one side of the canal hub open simultaneously [00:33:26] . The height is controlled at 25 centimeters [00:33:30] . It pours 70 cubic meters [00:33:34] of water per second . At this speed, it only takes [00:33:37] 36 seconds to fill an Olympic standard swimming pool [00:33:41] . Today, we are [00:34:15] . The data obtained from a year of model experiments by himself and his team has now been magnified by more than 30 times [00:34:19] . Will it be verified in the real world [00:34:22] ? Everyone is waiting for the answer [00:34:26] . [00:34:29] 。 [00:34:35] The flushing work is about to begin . [00:34:39] 。 [00:34:57] In the middle and low water saving pools [00:34:59] . [00:35:06] From the current debugging situation , [00:35:10] the results of our model experiments are almost the same [00:35:13] . [00:35:16] The water saving pool system is running smoothly , and the first batch of data collected [00:35:20] provides important support for continuously optimizing the operation plan [00:35:24] . Debugging work will continue [00:35:27] here until the Pinglu Canal opens [00:35:30] . [00:35:32] 。 [00:35:37] While various hubs are intensifying debugging , the Pinglu [00:35:41] Canal starts 300 kilometers northwest [00:36:27] . It also needs to import resources from overseas to support [00:36:29] . In the past, the only [00:36:32] choice for the transportation of these bulk cargo resources was to connect [00:36:35] from Zhaotong Shuifu Port to the Yangtze River to the east [00:36:39] , and then continue along the Yangtze River to the port [00:36:43] of Shanghai . The waterway journey is as long as [00:36:46] 2800 kilometers . This was a [00:36:50] long and difficult journey, but after the Baise Water Conservancy hub was completed , ocean cargo can choose [00:36:54] to pass through the Baise Water Conservancy hub from Funing Port in Wenshan [00:37:33] . It's not just western China that's connected to this global trade network [00:37:36] . 2,000 kilometers south of the Pinglu Canal [00:37:40] is Gilonggo, Malaysia , a rapidly developing city [00:37:44] in the ASEAN region . Young [00:37:47] people love to follow the fashion trends [00:37:50] . [00:37:52] Valerie has lived in Gilonggo since childhood [00:37:56] . Two months ago [00:38:27] , she was deeply cooperating with the automobile manufacturing industry in Guangxi, China [00:38:31] . Every week, containers from Guangxi are shipped [00:38:35] here by sea to transport auto parts [00:38:57] . The model is to split automobile manufacturing among different countries [00:39:01] . It can help emerging developing countries [00:39:05] to enter a complex industrial production chain more quickly [00:39:09] and complete the manufacturing of global products locally [00:39:12] . This is a mutually beneficial and win-win [00:39:16] cooperation model . China [00:39:19] has the advantage of full industrial chain manufacturing . Malaysia [00:39:23] has local human resources and assembly production capacity [00:39:26] . This combination can help Malaysia's automobile manufacturing [00:39:30] industry quickly achieve localization [00:39:34] , improve local employment rates and overall income levels [00:39:37] , and the industrial chain is distributed across different [00:39:41] countries, so parts must cross national borders efficiently and economically [00:39:45] . The Pinglu Canal here becomes [00:39:49] a key link, connecting different countries to the same [00:39:52] trade chain . Goods made in China [00:39:56] , [00:39:59] durians from Malaysia, Thai rice and rubber [00:40:03] , Vietnamese fruits . Various high-quality products [00:40:07] from different countries and regions will all gather in this trade chain [00:40:10] , exchange with each other , and become a part [00:40:14] of people's lives [00:40:15] . [00:40:19] Everyone's expectations still need to be realized step by step [00:40:23] by the builders of the Pinglu Canal [00:40:25] . [00:40:28] It's 45 days until the Pinglu Canal officially opens [00:40:32] . At night , two 5,000-ton cargo ships [00:40:36] , one empty and one fully loaded , slowly sailed into the Pinglu Canal [00:40:39] . [00:40:41] 。 [00:40:44] This means that the first ship trial of the Pinglu Canal has [00:40:48] officially begun . First, let us [00:40:51] introduce the process of tomorrow's trial [00:40:55] . [00:42:07] The test starts at the test location chosen here [00:42:11] . The turning radius of this bend is relatively the smallest in the entire navigable section [00:42:15] . At the same time, next to it is a newly built cross-river [00:42:19] bridge . The rules of ship navigation are completely different [00:42:22] from those of cars on the road . [00:42:25] It is greatly affected by water flow agitation [00:42:29] . Although the Pinglu Canal is an artificial [00:42:33] canal, it follows the natural river flow, and the continuous flow of water [00:42:36] affects ship navigation . But when two ships [00:42:40] pass each other, the local turbulence generated by the water flow will still affect the normal [00:42:44] sailing path of the other ship . [00:42:47] 。 [00:42:54] In normal shipping regulations, ships all rely on high-tech [00:42:58] auxiliary navigation systems to accurately grasp the ship's navigation [00:43:02] trajectory . At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to [00:43:05] pass ships in bends and under bridges . But this time is an exception [00:43:09] . The test ship actively chose an extreme condition for a [00:43:13] field crossing test . This test data [00:43:17] will find a more reasonable solution for future ship [00:43:20] relative navigation [00:43:32] . Today he needs to organize all the teams that are building and debugging here [00:43:36] to welcome the arrival of the first fleet [00:45:28] .
