The great emperor of crossing

These things seem to be a completely impossible task. After all, the technology of the empire has not been able to pass a railway line in three months. That is to say, judging from the current situation, it can only Some cars pass through the lot first.

Under such circumstances, Zhan Tianyou was directly brought to the parliament hall, which was just built.

"Are you going to work here from now on?"

"This is the office of the parliament, and here are the things that many people do. We are all temporary members of the standing committee of the parliament now. You can tell us directly about this matter."

It can be seen that this group of people in the parliament doesn't seem to understand what is happening in front of them.

"Dear friends, let me introduce to you some elements of railway construction. Before you said that it took three months to directly build such a long line, it is impossible for any country, and we are now What he was about to present was a railway of the most up-to-date condition in the world, and what he did was even more time-consuming."

Zhan Tianyou first poured cold water on everyone, otherwise everyone would think that building a railway in three months is completely possible.

"So, according to your idea, how long will it take to build these railways?"

"Such a long railway line will take at least three to four years to complete. If some places need to dig caves, then five to six years are possible."

Such a long time span surprised everyone in the council, who did not expect their own ideas to be so childish.

"Then you can't find a way to let the railway bypass these caves directly?"

One of the committee members finally chose to speak at this time.

"You just don't understand at first glance. Railways are like this. When encountering canyons, we need to build bridges, and when encountering mountains, we need to drill holes. Of course, we will try our best to use staggering methods, but that will greatly increase The length of the construction period and the cost. At the same time, even if the construction is completed, the railway will undergo a series of strange changes in the next time, which will increase the cost of transportation. In foreign countries, time is money. I hope this Things will be discovered by everyone in China in the future.”

Everyone finally had their own thoughts on this matter, and it seemed that Zhan Tianyou had to finish what he had to say now.

"That means it is not as simple as imagined to actually build a railway now, right?"

"That's true. First of all, it takes a long time to build a bridge. It is a miracle that such a long line can be completed in three to four years. According to the progress of foreign countries, it may take ten years to build such a bridge. A long line."

"In this case, how to complete the four horizontal and four vertical tasks? You still have to decide to build a high-speed railway, don't you need to consider these?"

"The construction of railways is a long-term process. The empire has such a vast territory, and it will achieve great unification in the future. If the real four horizontal and four vertical can be achieved, it will take at least several decades. That is to say, what the railway company has to do Things that cannot be accomplished by this generation.”

It can be seen that Zhan Tianyou already has his own ideas about the current development trend.

"You mean the railroad business is a very long-term business, don't you?"

"You are right. If an empire can connect all the railways, it will take about 100 years to complete, especially for an empire as large as ours, because there are so many cities and so many towns in the end. They all need to be connected by railways, although we are now specific to each county, but sooner or later these counties will slowly radiate to the towns."

After hearing this statement, everyone gradually understood what the situation of railway construction was like.

"And now the capital of the empire is Chang'an City, which means that Chang'an City must become the hub of the whole country! This way of building four horizontal and four vertical is very useful."

It seems that this incident really gave everyone their own ideas.

"Then how will this railway line lead to the Western Regions in the future?"

"That depends on everyone's future thoughts. Maybe in the future countries in the world will connect the railways accordingly, so that a series of goods can be transported more conveniently. Now you may not see that the future world will definitely It is a new world in which countries conduct trade and develop together, so now everyone must do everything possible to bring our empire into such an exciting era, so the empire's railways must be in line with the current situation. It’s just that the current railway company doesn’t have that kind of strength, and that’s what worries me the most.”

"Why do you say that?"

Wei Yang was a little unhappy after hearing this statement.

"There are only a few people in the railway company now, and how many railway branches are there across the country? If we let our head office do everything, then this kind of thing will be really difficult to handle. In other words, we must Railway companies with us as the center have been established all over the country, and the current railway company has directly become the head office. Local railway companies are responsible for the construction of railways in various regions."

"In this case, let's talk about such a route first."

"The current line is from Chang'an City to Linzi City, so it can be called Changlin Line. For such a line, I do have my own idea. In fact, the idea is very easy. It is a railway idea like ours. Prospect first, and I want to directly establish several branches in various places along the line, so that corresponding construction can be carried out in this way.”

"Then tell me what difficulties you have now."

At this time, Zhan Tianyou finally revealed his biggest difficulty.

"There are three difficulties for us. The first is that we have too few personnel, the second is that our funds are not enough, and the third is that our technology has not yet reached that advanced level. What we can do now is to seize the time to recruit People, and at the same time, the relative contact with the National Academy of Sciences will further improve our scientific research level, but we really have no way to solve the problem of funding.”

"We can help you provide funds. The current empire still has a lot of money."
