Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 4 Chapter 60: Xia Guo Train

   "Mr. Sun, the fleet has been stationed in a strange place for a long time. I am worried that some unnecessary troubles will occur." Li Bao slowly expressed his worries.

   "General Li don't have to worry." Changsun Sheng smiled slightly: "But in four or five months, we just need to be careful and be prepared to evacuate at any time, and we are not afraid of any conspiracy or tricks by these people."

   "Well, what Mr. Changsun said is." Li Bao thought of the past of the person in front of him. With a single mouth, Li Bao could convince most of the people, allowing the fleet to get a lot of help on its way to the north.

  Chang Sun Sheng thought for a while and said: "If there is an accident, the fleet can go down a distance first. Taking advantage of this time, we will conduct detailed investigations in this sea area. What do you think of this, General Li?"

   "Good way!" Hearing this suggestion from Changsun Sheng, Li Bao immediately raised his head and decided: "With this method, the fleet explores the surrounding waters and replenishes it every once in a while!"

   "But this way, the soldiers are very hard." Chang Sun Sheng was a little worried about whether the soldiers of the fleet could stick to the early summer of next year.

   Li Bao heard this and said disapprovingly: "Mr. Changsun, don't worry, the fleet is not inspected every day, so it can be done for a few days after a while."

   "That's true." Chang Sun Sheng nodded, and said to Li Bao: "Everything will bother General Li."

   Li Bao hurriedly clasped his fists in return and said: "What is Mr. Changsun's words, I would also like to thank Mr. for his advice on this road, Mr. Tired.

   Chang Sun Sheng is not only a diplomatic interpreter in the fleet, but sometimes also makes some suggestions for Li Bao, serving as half of the military division and staff.

   If Xia Guo’s navy did not have much development because of no demand, then the demand for road traffic is very large.

"Go to Qizhen! The railway from the industrial town to the north of Apocalypse City has been completed and can be opened to traffic at any time." Xun Yu brought Zhang Yu from the Industrial Engineering Bureau and Shen Kuo from the Institute of Science and Technology to meet Yang Song and reported to Yang Song for the trial operation. The construction of the railway phase.

   Yang Song put down the documents in his hand, looked up at Xun Yu and asked, "I know, how is the train construction?"

   Under the cue of Xun Yu's eyes, Zhang Yu Gongshouhui reported: "Go on! The locomotive has built six locomotives, with 32 freight carriages and 12 passenger carriages."

   Six months ago, in the early summer of the tenth year of the Apocalypse, the Academy of Science and Technology and the Engineering Bureau joined forces and finally verified all the technologies in accordance with the design drawings of the train, and tried to build a short section of railway and a locomotive.

   After testing the real thing and making some details, Xia Guo can finally build a steam train with steam engine technology, and it can be regarded as a preliminary entry into the era of steam-powered transportation.

   Yang Song asked Shen Kuo: "Very well, give Gu a brief introduction to specific train data."

   "Yes, Lord." Shen Kuo arrogantly said: "Of the six passenger trains that have been completed, two trains are used for passenger transportation and four trains are used for freight transportation."

   "Whether it is a passenger or freight train, each train has eight carriages, including the power locomotives and coal water carts, a total of ten." Shen Kuo then introduced the train to Yang Song.

   "The speed of the test train reached more than 60 kilometers per hour. At this speed, it takes less than an hour to reach the Apocalypse City from the industrial town."

   [Name: Steam-powered train.

   specifications: gauge: 1500 mm, carriage width: 4200 mm, carriage length: 25000 mm.

   Design speed: 70 km/h. 】

   After hearing Shen Kuo’s description of the train, Yang Song couldn’t wait to stand up and say: "Go, go and see the train."

   After seeing the train stopping in the newly built railway station outside the northern city of Apocalypse City, Yang Song has a sense of sacredness to witness the history with his own eyes.

   Yang Song boarded the train with some ministers who had come for questioning, and asked Xun Yu: "It takes more than ten hours to reach Tianqi City from Shanhaiguan?"

   "Woo~!" A long whistle sounded. Yang Song did not indicate the destination, because the current destination is only one-an industrial town.

  Xunyu knew Yang Song’s thoughts when he heard this, and he sensed the slowly starting train, and replied, “Going back to the Lord, yes, but the construction of a 700-kilometer railway can’t be completed overnight.”

   Yang Song knew Xun Yu's vague reminder, and knew the other party's worries.

The distance from Industrial Town to Apocalypse City is only about 30 kilometers. This section of the road has been built for nearly half a year. Although there is no initial construction experience, and the need to build it to verify the technology, but such a long distance also requires a lot. Investment and time.

"I know what Wenruo is worried about." Yang Song waved his hand to Xun Yu: "After the test run from Industrial Town to Tianqi City reaches the standard, the railway from Tianqi City to Tianqi Pass and Shanhaiguan must be built. It is a matter of national strategy and must be built."

"The minister obeyed." Xun Yu bowed to take the order, and then he thought about it after he got up: "Enlighten you! The distance of seven hundred kilometers, including the early-stage exploration route, the mid-term construction, and the passage to the back, according to Chen's estimate , It will take at least ten years!"

   "Ten years?" Yang Song asked sternly, "Even if it is built according to the existing passages, it will take ten years?"

"Return to the Lord, yes!" This question was answered by professional Zhang Yu: "The construction of a one-kilometer double-track railway requires 1,200 tons of steel. For this alone, 700 kilometers of steel requires the country’s existing production. Continuous production for 84 years!"

   "A 700-kilometer railway requires 840,000 tons of steel. Therefore, after calculating the development speed of the country's steel production, the minister believes that this railway can be built in just a few years only if the annual steel output reaches one million tons or more."

"My lord, the railway from Industrial Town to Apocalypse City has consumed nearly 40,000 tons of steel, and has exhausted the country's steel storage for many years." Xun Yu seemed to be not enough, so he inserted another in Yang Song's heart. Knife.

   Eighty-four years? 840,000 tons of steel? Megatons? A series of huge numbers made Yang Song dizzy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I think he is usually complacent and thinks that Xia Guo has entered the industrial age, and the indigenous people who have surpassed this world don’t know how many years, but it’s just to build a railway in China. It takes ten years.

And Yang Song also knows that there are many aspects that Xun Yu and others did not say. He is the monarch of Xia State and is in charge of everything. Therefore, he knows that steel production must reach the million-ton level stated by Zhang Yu, which is not a short answer. One thing.

   Steel needs iron ore, iron ore needs iron ore, and iron ore needs manpower to dig, and the manpower required to produce such a huge amount of ore is very huge.

   Not to mention that the manpower required by smelters, manufacturing plants, coal mines and other factories and mines is not a small number.

  The increase in the population still needs food. If you want to increase the food, you must increase the population and planting area. And with more people, supporting facilities such as clothing, food, housing and transportation will also increase...

   This is a cycle. Every link is not accomplished overnight, and one of them is indispensable. There are many things in this world that you can't buy even if you have money, so everything depends on Xia Guo's own development!

   Thinking of this, Yang Song suddenly got a headache, and even the scenery outside the car had no time to watch. He held his forehead weakly and said, "Let's plan for ten years!"
