The video discusses the advanced technology used in digital dams, focusing on the installation of numerous monitoring instruments like thermometers and stress gauges to track and adjust the dam's stress and temperature conditions in real-time. This technology has successfully prevented temperature cracks, a common issue in other dams. The video also highlights the stability of a 2000-ton generator shaft, demonstrated by an experiment showing a coin remaining stable on the shaft, indicating high installation quality. The video concludes with a focus on the precision and excellence of the dam's construction and monitoring systems.
