[Sichuan Water Conservancy Double Hole Connection]The Jiguanling Tunnel in Xiangjiaba Irrigation District and the Lijiazui Tunnel in Tingzikou Irrigation District have recently been connected, marking significant achievements in Sichuan's water conservancy project acceleration year. Faced with complex geology, the project team overcame construction bottlenecks through processes such as intelligent monitoring, drilling and blasting, and mechanical integration. After the completion of the two major projects, it will benefit over 4 million people in southern and northeastern Sichuan, and add nearly 2 million acres of irrigated area. By 2026, Sichuan plans to complete a water conservancy investment of 71.6 billion yuan, and the main framework of the six horizontal and six vertical water network is accelerating its formation.

On April 26, 2026, China officially delivered its first domestically produced 180000 cubic meter LNG transport ship, the "Georgetown", in Nantong, Jiangsu. It is currently the largest liquefied natural gas transport ship in China in terms of cargo capacity. The ship was built by China Merchants Heavy Industry Haimen Base and equipped with a dual fuel low-speed propulsion system, with outstanding environmental performance. The construction of LNG transport ships is extremely difficult and is a high-end benchmark ship in the shipbuilding industry. With the delivery of this ship, China now has five shipyards capable of building liquefied natural gas transport ships, and its high-end clean energy shipbuilding capabilities have entered the world's leading echelon.Editor/Gong Ziwei
