Chapter 610 Rising North America

A diesel locomotive with an average speed of [-] kilometers per hour is no longer the most advanced railway track transportation in the Ming Empire.Daming has three giants in the field of railway equipment, namely Daming Railway Group, Shenzhou Railway Group and Imperial Rail Transit Group.Similar to many state-owned monopoly industries, Daming generally maintains two or more enterprises to compete effectively.In addition to basic demand industries such as water supply and power grids, this is true in all fields such as communications, postal services, railways, and shipping.

In another dimension, after the re-opening, a series of large state-owned enterprises were divided into different enterprises, also to stimulate competition, optimize services, and improve their work efficiency.The subsequent mergers of enterprises such as CRRC and CSSC represent the strengthening of resource integration, making them bigger and stronger, and competing with world-class overseas friends.So whether it is split or merge, it has its own logic.

The situation in Daming is very different. Daming itself is the largest market in the world, larger than all other countries combined, and also has the most advanced technology, so there is no such thing as external competition.Maintaining a certain intensity of internal competition is beneficial to the interests of ordinary people and consumers, as well as the country itself.

For example, in the field of railways, after the establishment of the three giants one after another, they began to compete.Daming has a huge railway market, and even rail transit within the city.Mingche, Shentie, and Digui took different technical routes, and competed with each other in almost any Daming railway project to be built.

As the big brother with the strongest strength and the earliest construction, Mingche has obvious advantages and once took the largest share.However, the other two competitors have also found new ways one after another. The Shenzhou Railway Group has stepped out of its own advantages through the Osha Land Bridge project and long-distance freight trains. He and the developers have already created the prototype of the electric multiple train unit, and they are building the Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou high-speed train trial run line. Once successful, it will obviously revolutionize the railway transportation form of Daming.Even Mingche couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly started to develop a set of standards completely different from Emperor Rail, in an attempt to compete with Emperor Rail's "Future High-Speed ​​Rail Transit Plan".

In the past 20 years, without lack of investment, Daming basically has trains and even built a railway network in all provinces except Uzbekistan, which is remote inland.Even in economically developed provinces such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and Guangdong, basically all prefectures and counties are connected by trains.Although there will be no over-construction of railways like the United States on another plane, except for some inland provinces, there is still room for development. Unless the railway construction in Ming Dynasty enters the era of high-speed railways, there is not much need to build any large-scale projects.

But the overseas territories of North America are different. In 20 years, the population has swelled to 2000 million.Moreover, the vast land here is especially suitable for railway transportation, so the railway giants have set their sights on this place.For example, Mingche directly built a North American branch in Viva City, British Columbia, and set up a factory with more than 2000 employees.

Chen Jing was very excited and said to Bai Mingxiu: "The governor said that our overseas territory in North America is a new homeland built by Daming on the railway track. The railway line is like the blood vessel of this territory. As long as a railway is connected to an area, then this area will become a new homeland. As if it has been nourished, it can develop rapidly, new towns will appear along the line, and roads will be connected a little further away, and then a whole area will come alive. If the railway can lead to most of the overseas territories of North America area, then everything will be different.”

What Bu An said is very correct, because once Bai Mingxiu's clone, Bu An actually carried many of Bai Mingxiu's thoughts and concepts.Bai Mingxiu looked at the green and ridged Rocky Mountains outside the window, felt this continent full of vitality and hope, and was also full of thoughts for a while.

Before entering the information age, Bai Mingxiu didn't really want North America to develop rapidly, or even become a local place.In all fairness, the conditions here are actually better than those in the ancestral land of China. Large tracts of undeveloped land and rich resources can support a population far larger than the local population.If the North American region is really allowed to develop beyond the mainland, then there will be an upside-down phenomenon, which is not conducive to the distribution of political power in the empire.Although Ming Dynasty has a strong unification tendency that European culture does not have, at least there will be many conflicts and contradictions between the two places, at least the contradictions in development and resource use.

But if we enter the information age, it will be different, with larger industries and closer ties.In fact, the distance between North America and the mainland has been shortened.From the perspective of Bai Mingxiu's era, China mainland and North American overseas territories belong to the same country, and it only takes more than ten hours to get there by plane.Relatives who are far away from each other can stay close every day through video calls. A young man who works in Jun'an Mansion can order a takeaway milk tea for his girlfriend who works in Shanghai.Except for the time difference, people hardly feel any great isolation, especially in terms of mentality. Everyone is reading similar media news and discussing the hottest movies in theaters nowadays. They are common in culture and life. It won't be such a big problem anymore.

This does not mean that the contradiction between the development of the two places will not exist, but it will be much better than the era of poor information.

According to Bai Mingxiu's estimate, Daming estimates that another 30 to [-] years of climbing the technological tree can almost reach the era of the fourth technological revolution before he crossed.Obviously, all of this can only be accomplished under the shining of the golden finger of the system, but it took half a century to complete the four industrial revolutions. This kind of fantasy technological explosion is also a very fulfilling thing to think about.

In 30 years, the population of North America will definitely not be able to compare with that of Daming, and the total economic volume is estimated to be the size of a local economically powerful province.

After the train crossed the Rocky Mountains, it entered the vast central Great Plains.Chen Jing was still afraid that the emperor would be too bored, so he vaccinated in advance and said: "Originally, the Great Plains was an excellent agricultural area, and the cultivation of wheat, corn, and soybeans was excellent, but there was still a lack of population. Now there are 2000 million overseas territories in North America. The population is concentrated in the five provinces of British Columbia, Jialuo, Hongxi, Yongle and Hongwu. Although some small towns and settlements have been established in the huge area of ​​the North American interior, they have not yet formed a population like the five provinces. scale."

The five overseas provinces that have been established in North America are actually divided into two economic belts, namely the East Coast and West Coast Economic Belts.British Columbia and Jialuo provinces are linked to one, and Hongwu, Yongle, and Hongxi are linked to the other.Economically, the East Coast Economic Belt and the West Coast Economic Belt are relatively separated because they are so far apart.
