Breaking the Deadlock in Southern Xinjiang, Opening the Way Across the Land

Steep mountains hemmed in this region. Its rivers were abundant, but gorges cut them off, leaving no convenient routes for transporting goods elsewhere. High transportation costs had long held back local development.

Lu Chen, the protagonist, had spent years specializing in water conservancy planning. Upon arriving in the region, he resolved to launch a major canal construction project and open up routes for transporting goods to the outside world.

The project was difficult and would take a long time, with all kinds of practical obstacles along the way. Armed with an engineering plan he had refined for years, Lu Chen stood firm in the face of doubts, ventured deep into the mountains to survey the terrain, and tackled one challenge after another. He was determined to use the project to break down regional barriers, unlock local resources, and revitalize the area's industries.
