Hey there! 🚀 Guess what? China and Russia just turned on a brand-new, super-long natural gas pipeline! It’s over 5,000 kilometers long—that’s like going from New York to Los Angeles and halfway back! 😲
This amazing pipeline took nearly 10 years to build and can carry 38 billion cubic meters of natural gas every year. That’s a whole lot of gas to heat homes and cook food! It starts in a city called Heihe in northern China, right next to Russia, and stretches all the way to the huge city of Shanghai, passing through nine big regions in China. 🗺️
But wait, it gets even cooler! The pipeline uses high-tech robots to keep an eye on everything. These special robots ride on rails inside the pipeline tunnels. They have cameras and infrared devices to see what’s going on. They can work all by themselves or be controlled by people from far away. 🎮🤖
“The robots help us check the tunnels all the time without sending people in,” said Mr. Qian, who works with the pipeline team. “This makes everything safer and faster!”
Plus, all the machines and software used are made with technologies from China. How awesome is that? 🇨🇳
This new pipeline means people in eastern China will have lots of gas for heating and cooking, especially during the cold winter months. It’s a big deal and shows how countries can work together to do amazing things! 🌏🤝
